| artnet AG / Key word(s): Financing/Forecast Artnet Confirms Receipt of USD 2.5 Million in Funding to Support Growth New York/Berlin, January 9, 2023: Artnet, the leading platform for art market data and media, and the global marketplace for fine art, can confirm the receipt of USD 2.5 Million in funding to support its continued growth. Artnet has this week received USD 2 Million in the form of a non-repayable US Government grant. The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a tax credit designed for businesses who managed to sufficiently retain and pay employees throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Artnet was able to record growth across all segments in 2021, including 40% growth in its media segment, leading to a 14% overall revenue increase. Artnet has received further funding in the form of a loan from its founder and major shareholder, Galerie Neuendorf AG's Hans Neuendorf. The USD 500,000 credit will be used to support growth and further bolster Artnet's balance sheet in 2023. The IMF warned on January 2 that it estimates a third of the world economy will be in recession this financial year. Management has taken early precautions and is pleased to have received additional access to liquidity through this channel. Artnet is looking forward to what promises to be a formative year for the Company and the wider market as the art world continues its transition to online commerce. The funds provide additional support to the Company to start the year as it seeks to capture the nascent shift in purchasing behavior by providing a holistic online ecosystem for the global art market.
