("AirNet" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ANTE), today announced that it held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on November 30, 2022.

The Share Consolidation will be effective at 5:00 P.M., on December 9, 2022 (U.S. Eastern time). Following and as a result of the Share Consolidation, the authorized share capital of the Company will be US$1,000,000 divided into 22,500,000 ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of US$0.04 each and 2,500,000 preferred shares of a nominal or par value of US$0.04 each.

The Company also announced that, upon the Share Consolidation, the ratio of its American Depositary Receipts representing ordinary shares of the Company will be amended from one (1) American depositary share ("ADS") representing ten (10) ordinary shares of the Company to one (1) ADS representing one (1) ordinary share of the Company. No physical action by ADS holders will be required to effect the ratio change, as the change will be effected on the books of the depositary.
