 Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 28, 2023, Allied Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Elite Fun Entertainment Co., Ltd. (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase 7,330,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $0.90 per share (the “Purchased Shares”) for a total purchase price of $6,597,000. The Purchased Shares represent less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company prior to the closing of the transaction.  The Purchase Agreement is subject to customary representations, warranties, covenants and conditions, including an agreement that the Company and Purchaser will each use its best efforts to negotiate and finalize a collaboration or partnership agreement under which the Purchaser will assist the Company with organizing live shows and events in Asia.  In addition, the Company agrees to register the resale of Purchased Shares pursuant to a registration statement to be filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
The foregoing description is a summary, does not purport to be a complete description of the Purchase Agreement, and is subject to, and qualified entirely by reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s next periodic report to be filed with the SEC.
 
On December 28, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2023, Allied Gaming & Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) was below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”).

The notification received had no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 15, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

On December 27, 2023, the Company received a minimum bid price compliance letter from the Staff confirming the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and that the matter is now closed.
