Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited Announces Closing of $6.0 Million Convertible Promissory Notes Offering

New York, New York, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited (NASDAQ Capital Market: AEHL) (“Antelope Enterprise”, “AEHL” or the “Company”), which provides livestreaming ecommerce services, business management and information systems consulting services in China, today announced the closing of its previously announced offering of 8.00% convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million (the “Note”) to an accredited investor.

The Company received net proceeds from the offering of the Note of approximately $5.965 million, after deducting estimated offering expenses.

The Note bears interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum, which accrues from September 10, 2026 until the Note is paid in full, and is payable in cash. The Note has no fixed maturity date and the Note in full or in any portion is convertible into the Company's Class A ordinary shares, no par value per share, at the option of the holder at any time on or after September 10, 2026. The conversion price is equal to 80% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the three trading days ending on and including the applicable conversion date.

Conversions of the Note are subject to both (i) the Nasdaq 19.99% issuance cap under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 and (ii) a strict beneficial ownership limitation, meaning the holder will not have the right to convert any portion of the Note if, immediately following such conversion, the holder and its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Additionally, the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Note are subject to a Conversion Shares Registration Cap of 12,000,000 shares.

The Notes were offered pursuant to a "shelf" registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-295047), that was previously filed by the Company and became effective under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 5, 2026. A prospectus supplement relating to the Offering was filed with the SEC and was available on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov. Before investing in the Offering, you should read in their entirety the preliminary prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the other documents that the Company has filed with the SEC, which provide more information about the Company and the Offering.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. Any unregistered conversion shares issued in excess of the registration cap will constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, or otherwise transferred absent an effective registration statement or an available exemption from registration.
