Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 17, 2025, Allied Gaming & Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the periodic requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”) was not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the required due date of March 31, 2025 (or April 15, 2025 following the Form 12b-25 filed by the Company on March 31, 2025).  This Letter received from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock.

Under Nasdaq rules, the Company now has until June 16, 2025, or 60 calendar days from the receipt of the Letter, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company currently expects it will be able to file the Form 10-K prior to such deadline. In the event the Company needs to submit a plan of compliance, and Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of 180 calendar days from the Form 10-K’s due date, or until October 13, 2025, as instructed by the Letter, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there is no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance.

The Company is working diligently to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 23, 2025, the Company issued a press release in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b) announcing that the Company had received the Letter. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.*

 

* The information in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
