Ethernity Networks (AIM: ENET), a leading supplier of networking processing

networking appliances, announces that its notice of annual general meeting
("AGM") is being despatched to shareholders. A copy of the AGM notice,
together with the forms of proxy and direction, are available on the Company's
website at: www.ethernitynet.com (http://www.ethernitynet.com) .
The Company's AGM (the "Meeting") will be held at the offices of the Company
at 3rd Floor, Beit Golan, 1 Golan St. Corner HaNegev, Airport City 7019900
Israel at 9.00 a.m. UK time (11.00 a.m. Israel time) on 16 May 2022.
Shareholder's attention is drawn to the voting procedures under the current
COVID-19 situation, detailed in the AGM notice.
Issue of Shares to a Director
Under his contract, Yosi Albagli receives a portion of his annual remuneration
as non-Executive Chairman in Ethernity shares.
Consequently, the Company will issue 37,106 new ordinary shares of NIS 0.001
each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to Mr Albagli, in satisfaction of the
share element of his remuneration for the period from 10 March 2021 to 28
February 2022, following which he will be interested in 37,106 Ordinary Shares
representing 0.05% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for 37,106 new Ordinary
Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and Admission is
expected to occur on or around 14 April 2022. The new Ordinary Shares will,
upon issue, rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in the Company.
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will be
75,388,844 Ordinary Shares. The Company holds no Ordinary Shares in Treasury.
This figure of 75,388,844 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the
Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine
if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their
interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure
Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Issue of Options to Directors
On 8 April 2022, following a recommendation of the Company's Remuneration
Committee, the Board of Directors awarded a grant of 200,000 options over
Ordinary Shares, at an exercise price of 29p per Ordinary Share, to each of
David Levi (CEO) and Shavit Baruch (Executive Director) under the terms of the
