AirNet Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTE) has received two deficiency letters from Nasdaq dated September 18, 2024, indicating non-compliance with minimum bid price and minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS) requirements. The company has until March 17, 2025 to regain compliance. For the bid price, AirNet must maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days. For MVPHS, it must maintain a value of at least $1.0 million for 10 consecutive business days.

If AirNet fails to meet the bid price requirement by the deadline, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it meets certain conditions. The company could implement a reverse stock split to regain compliance. Failure to meet these requirements could result in delisting from Nasdaq, although AirNet would have the right to appeal such a decision.

AirNet Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTE) ha ricevuto due lettere di inosservanza da parte di Nasdaq datate 18 settembre 2024, che indicano il non rispetto dei requisiti di prezzo minimo di offerta e valore di mercato minimo delle azioni pubblicamente detenute (MVPHS). La società ha tempo fino al 17 marzo 2025 per recuperare la conformità. Per quanto riguarda il prezzo di offerta, AirNet deve mantenere un prezzo di chiusura di almeno $1,00 per 10 giorni lavorativi consecutivi. Per MVPHS, deve mantenere un valore di almeno $1,0 milione per 10 giorni lavorativi consecutivi.

Se AirNet non riesce a soddisfare il requisito del prezzo di offerta entro la scadenza, potrebbe essere idonea a un ulteriore periodo di 180 giorni se rispetta determinate condizioni. La società potrebbe implementare una frazione azionaria inversa per recuperare la conformità. Il mancato rispetto di questi requisiti potrebbe comportare la cancellazione dalla Nasdaq, sebbene AirNet abbia il diritto di fare ricorso contro tale decisione.

AirNet Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTE) ha recibido dos cartas de deficiencia de Nasdaq con fecha 18 de septiembre de 2024, indicando el incumplimiento de los requisitos de precio mínimo de oferta y valor de mercado mínimo de acciones en circulación (MVPHS). La compañía tiene hasta el 17 de marzo de 2025 para recuperar la conformidad. En cuanto al precio de oferta, AirNet debe mantener un precio de cierre de al menos $1.00 durante 10 días hábiles consecutivos. Para el MVPHS, debe mantener un valor de al menos $1.0 millón durante 10 días hábiles consecutivos.

Si AirNet no cumple con el requisito del precio de oferta antes de la fecha límite, puede ser elegible para un período adicional de 180 días si cumple ciertas condiciones. La compañía podría implementar una división inversa de acciones para recuperar la conformidad. No cumplir estos requisitos podría resultar en la exclusión de Nasdaq, aunque AirNet tendría derecho a apelar dicha decisión.

AirNet Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTE)는 2024년 9월 18일 자로 Nasdaq으로부터 최소 입찰가상장 주식의 최소 시장 가치(MVPHS) 요구사항을 준수하지 않았다는 두 개의 결함 통지를 받았습니다. 회사는 2025년 3월 17일까지 준수를 회복해야 합니다. 입찰가와 관련하여 AirNet은 10영업일 연속으로 최소 $1.00의 종가를 유지해야 합니다. MVPHS의 경우, 10영업일 연속으로 최소 $100만의 가치를 유지해야 합니다.

AirNet이 마감일까지 입찰가 요구사항을 충족하지 못할 경우 특정 조건을 충족하면 추가로 180일의 기간을 받을 수 있습니다. 회사는 준수를 회복하기 위해 주식 분할을 시행할 수 있습니다. 이러한 요구사항을 충족하지 못할 경우 Nasdaq에서 상장 폐지될 수 있지만, AirNet은 그런 결정에 대해 항소할 권리가 있습니다.

AirNet Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTE) a reçu deux lettres de carence de la part de Nasdaq datées du 18 septembre 2024, indiquant une non-conformité aux exigences de prix d'offre minimum et de valeur de marché minimale des actions détenues publiquement (MVPHS). La société a jusqu'au 17 mars 2025 pour rétablir sa conformité. Concernant le prix d'offre, AirNet doit maintenir un prix de clôture d'au moins 1,00 $ pendant 10 jours ouvrables consécutifs. Pour le MVPHS, elle doit maintenir une valeur d'au moins 1,0 million $ pendant 10 jours ouvrables consécutifs.

Si AirNet ne respecte pas l'exigence de prix d'offre d'ici la date limite, elle pourrait être éligible à une période supplémentaire de 180 jours si elle respecte certaines conditions. L'entreprise pourrait mettre en œuvre une division d'actions inversée pour rétablir la conformité. Le non-respect de ces exigences pourrait entraîner une radiation de Nasdaq, bien qu' AirNet ait le droit de faire appel d'une telle décision.

AirNet Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTE) hat am 18. September 2024 zwei Mängelschreiben von Nasdaq erhalten, die auf die Nichteinhaltung der Anforderungen an den Minimalangebotspreis und den Minimalwert des öffentlich gehaltenen Aktien (MVPHS) hinweisen. Das Unternehmen hat bis zum 17. März 2025, um die Einhaltung wiederherzustellen. Beim Angebotspreis muss AirNet für 10 aufeinanderfolgende Börsentage einen Schlusskurs von mindestens 1,00 $ aufrechterhalten. Bei MVPHS muss ein Wert von mindestens 1,0 Millionen $ für 10 aufeinanderfolgende Börsentage aufrechterhalten werden.

Wenn AirNet die Anforderungen an den Angebotspreis bis zur Frist nicht erfüllt, kann es unter bestimmten Bedingungen für einen zusätzlichen Zeitraum von 180 Tagen berechtigt sein. Das Unternehmen könnte einen Reverse-Split der Aktien durchführen, um die Einhaltung wiederherzustellen. Das Nichteinhalten dieser Anforderungen könnte zu einem Delisting von Nasdaq führen, wobei AirNet jedoch das Recht hat, gegen eine solche Entscheidung Berufung einzulegen.

  • Possible need for reverse stock split, which could impact share value

Insights

This news is concerning for AirNet Technology Inc. shareholders. The company faces potential delisting from Nasdaq due to two significant issues: failing to maintain a $1 minimum bid price and a $1 million minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS). These deficiencies indicate severe financial distress and lack of investor confidence.

The 180-day compliance period until March 17, 2025, provides a window for recovery, but the challenges are substantial. A reverse stock split might address the bid price issue temporarily, but it doesn't solve the underlying financial problems. The MVPHS deficiency is particularly worrying as it reflects a significant erosion of the company's public float value.

Investors should be cautious. While delisting isn't immediate, the company's ability to regain compliance remains uncertain, potentially leading to reduced liquidity and further share price decline.

The receipt of deficiency letters from Nasdaq is a critical regulatory issue for AirNet. The company now faces a complex compliance challenge with specific timelines and requirements. Key legal considerations include:

  • Timely disclosure of the deficiency notices, which AirNet has fulfilled
  • Potential need for shareholder approval if a reverse stock split is pursued
  • Risk of securities law violations if the company fails to maintain accurate and timely disclosures during this period

The company's board and management must navigate these issues carefully to avoid additional regulatory scrutiny. Shareholders should monitor the situation closely, as failure to regain compliance could lead to delisting proceedings, potentially triggering investor lawsuits or regulatory investigations.

BEIJING, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AirNet Technology Inc., formerly known as AirMedia Group Inc. ("AirNet" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ANTE), today announced that it received two deficiency letters (the "Deficiency Letters") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. ("Nasdaq") both dated on September 18, 2024 indicating that (1) the Company is no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Rule 5550(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules as the Company's closing bid price per American depositary share ("ADS"), each representing one ordinary share of the Company, has been below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days, and (2) the Company is no longer in compliance with Rule 5550(a)(5) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules for continued listing due to its failure to maintain a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares ("MVPHS") of US$1.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive business days.

The Deficiency Letters have no immediate impact on the Company's listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Pursuant to Rules 5810(c)(3)(A) and 5810(c)(3)(D) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, respectively, the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 17, 2025 (the "Compliance Period"), to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price and minimum MVPHS requirements. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per ADS is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter will be closed. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the Company's MVPHS is at least US$1.0 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance with the minimum MVPHS requirement, and the matter will be closed.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by March 17, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company must meet the continued listing requirements for MVPHS and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of bid price requirement, of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will grant an additional 180 calendar days to the Company (the "Second Compliance Period"). However, if Nasdaq concludes that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's securities will be subject to delisting. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to March 17, 2025, or the expiration of the Second Compliance Period if granted.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum MVPHS requirement by March 17, 2025, the Company will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance Nasdaq would grant the Company's request for continued listing.

This announcement is made in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a notification of deficiency.
