("AirNet" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ANTE), today announced the appointment of Assentsure PAC ("Assentsure") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to replace Audit Alliance LLP ("Audit Alliance"), effective January 2, 2025.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and the subsequent period prior to the Company's engagement of Assentsure, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Assentsure with respect to (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Assentsure concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, (2) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of the instructions to Form 20-F, or (3) any reportable event as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the instructions to Form 20-F.

The Company is working closely with Assentsure and Audit Alliance to ensure a seamless transition.
