Introduction.
     On June 4, 2008, the shareholders of AirNet Systems, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“AirNet”), adopted the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 31, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), among AirNet, AirNet Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AirNet Holdings”), and AirNet Acquisition, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of AirNet Holdings (“AirNet Acquisition”), which provides for the merger of AirNet Acquisition with and into AirNet, with AirNet continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AirNet Holdings (the “Merger”). On June 10, 2008, the Merger was completed. By virtue of the Merger, AirNet has been acquired by AirNet Holdings.
     As a result of the Merger, each common share, $0.01 par value per share (the “common shares”), of AirNet outstanding on June 10, 2008 (other than common shares held by AirNet or AirNet Holdings or any of their respective subsidiaries or common shares with respect to which dissenters’ rights are perfected) were automatically converted into the right to receive $2.81 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). In addition, each outstanding option (whether or not then exercisable) was cancelled at the effective time of the Merger and the holder of the option will receive a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of $2.81 over the exercise price per common share subject to the option, multiplied by the number of common shares subject to the unexercised portion of the option; less any amounts required to be withheld or deducted under applicable tax laws with respect to making such payment.
     The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was included as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by AirNet on April 3, 2008, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
     As previously disclosed in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by AirNet on March 31, 2008 and on April 3, 2008, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, AirNet Holdings acquired 1,934,137 common shares of AirNet at a price of $2.81 per share in cash for aggregate consideration of $5,434,924.97 pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated March 31, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”), between AirNet and AirNet Holdings. The common shares acquired by AirNet Holdings represented approximately 16.0% of AirNet’s outstanding common shares following their acquisition and represented approximately 16.0% of AirNet’s common shares outstanding immediately prior to the Merger. These 1,934,137 common shares were “excluded common shares” under the terms of the Merger Agreement and were not converted into the right to receive the $2.81 per common share Merger Consideration. Concurrently with the purchase of the 1,934,137 common shares by AirNet Holdings, AirNet and AirNet Holdings entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2008 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), that provided AirNet Holdings with a single demand registration right to cause AirNet to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the sale of at least a majority of the common shares AirNet Holdings acquired from AirNet and unlimited piggyback registration rights to register for sale the common shares acquired by AirNet Holdings from AirNet in the event that AirNet otherwise filed a registration statement for the sale of common shares with the SEC. The rights and obligations of the parties under the Registration Rights Agreement terminated upon completion of the Merger.

     The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which were included as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by AirNet on April 3, 2008, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
     In connection with the completion of the Merger, AirNet notified The American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) on June 10, 2008 that each of AirNet’s common shares (other than common shares held by AirNet or AirNet Holdings or any of their respective subsidiaries or common shares with respect to which dissenters’ rights are perfected) had been converted into the right to receive the $2.81 per common share Merger Consideration and requested that AMEX file with the SEC a notification on Form 25 to report that the common shares of AirNet are no longer listed on AMEX. The Form 25 was filed by AMEX with the SEC on June 11, 2008. As a result, AirNet’s common shares are no longer traded on AMEX. AirNet also intends to file with the SEC a Certification on Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requesting that AirNet’s common shares be deregistered and that AirNet’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.
     The information contained in the Introduction above is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
     On June 10, 2008, as a result of the Merger, each of AirNet’s common shares (other than common shares held by AirNet or AirNet Holdings or any of their respective subsidiaries or common shares with respect to which dissenters’ rights are perfected) was converted into the right to receive the $2.81 per common share Merger Consideration.
     The information contained in Item 3.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.
     On June 10, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, AirNet Holdings completed the acquisition of AirNet through the Merger. As a result of the Merger, AirNet Holdings is the sole shareholder of AirNet. The aggregate cash paid for all of the outstanding common shares of AirNet (other than common shares held by AirNet or AirNet Holdings or any of their respective subsidiaries or common shares with respect to which dissenters’ rights are perfected), as well as the cash paid to holders of outstanding options, was approximately $28.6 million.
     To the knowledge of AirNet, except as set forth herein, there are no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of securities of AirNet, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a further change in control of AirNet.
