Insights

AirNet secures a large cash raise via a highly dilutive share and warrant sale.

AirNet Technology Inc. is using its Form F-3 shelf to conduct a registered direct offering of 80,826,225 ordinary shares with matching Stapled Warrants at a combined price of US$2.227. Gross proceeds are expected to be about US$180.0 million, providing substantial new capital to the company.

Each Stapled Warrant covers one ordinary share at an initial exercise price of US$3.3405, is exercisable immediately, and runs through August 27, 2030. This structure adds potential future share issuance over five years, alongside the immediate issuance from the primary sale, which together may significantly expand the equity base.

The warrants include a Beneficial Ownership Limitation at either 4.99% or 9.99% at each holder’s election, restricting exercises that would push holders above those thresholds. Actual dilution and market impact will depend on how many units are placed at closing on August 27, 2025 and the pace of warrant exercises over time.
