ASIAN TELEVISION NETWORK INTERNATIONAL LIMITED ANNOUNCES ADOPTION OF SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTING

TORONTO, May 25, 2026 /CNW/ - Asian Television Network International Limited (TSXV: SAT) ("ATN" or the "Company"), Canada's premier South Asian broadcaster, announces today that it has voluntarily elected to rely on CSA Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers (the "Blanket Order") and move to semi-annual reporting ("SAR").

The Blanket Order allows eligible venture issuers to voluntarily move from a quarterly to a semi-annual financial reporting framework.

Under the SAR pilot program, the Company will be exempt from filing interim financial reports and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for its three-month and nine-month interim periods. The initial interim period for which the Company will not file is the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. The Company will continue to file audited annual financial statements (due within 120 days of December 31) and six-month interim financial reports and related MD&A (due within 60 days of June 30).

The Company remains fully committed to maintaining corporate transparency and strong investor relations. The Company continues to be bound by existing timely disclosure obligations under Canadian securities laws and TSX Venture Exchange rules, and will continue to disclose all material changes and significant corporate developments in accordance with National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations.

This news release is being filed pursuant to Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers.
