AirNet Receives Extension to Regain Compliance
with Nasdaq’s Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement
BEIJING, November 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- AirNet Technology Inc., formerly known as AirMedia Group Inc. (“AirNet” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ANTE), an in-flight solution provider on connectivity, entertainment, and digital multimedia in China, today announced that it received a notification letter dated November 25, 2020 (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. (the “Nasdaq”), notifying that it has been granted an extension to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as set forth in Rule 5550(b)(1) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Rule”) for continued listing.
As previously announced on September 18, 2020, the Company received a notification letter dated September 16, 2020 from Nasdaq (the “Deficiency Letter”), notifying the Company that its stockholders’ equity of approximately negative US$19 million as reported in the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 was below the minimum stockholders’ equity of US$2.5 million required for continued listing on Nasdaq as set forth in the Rule. The Company was given 45 calendar days from the date of the Deficiency Letter, or until November 2, 2020, to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance.
The Company submitted a plan (the “Compliance Plan”) to Nasdaq earlier in November 2020. After reviewing the Compliance Plan, Nasdaq granted the Company an extension to regain compliance with the Rule. Under the terms of the extension, the Company must, on or before March 15, 2021, complete the actions undertaken by the Company in the Compliance Plan and evidence compliance with the Rule by furnishing to the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly available report detailing such actions to regain compliance.
The Company’s ordinary shares represented by American depositary shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “ANTE.” If the Company fails to satisfy the terms set forth in the extension, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting proceedings. At such time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
