Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The disclosure set forth in Item 1.02 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 1.02.  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K on January 21, 2020, Allied Gaming and Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with BPR Cumulus LLC (the “Investor”), an affiliate of Brookfield Property Partners, pursuant to which the Company sold 758,725 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Investor for $5 million (the “Purchase Price”).

The Purchase Price was deposited into an escrow account pending release upon the completion and satisfaction of certain events and conditions agreed to by the Parties. Pursuant to the SPA, the Purchase Price was to be used by the Company or its subsidiaries to develop integrated esports experience venues at mutually agreed upon shopping malls owned and/or operated by the Investor or any of its affiliates. However, following the execution of the SPA, the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions have materially changed the dynamics in esports venue businesses, and the initial agreement on the use of proceeds by the Company contemplated under the SPA was no longer feasible.

On September 16, 2024, the Company and Investor entered into the Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve and terminate all obligations under the SPA and related agreements, and to agree to the release of the Purchase Price between the Company and Investor. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Purchase Price will be released from escrow as follows: $3,000,000 to the Investor and $2,000,000 to the Company. The parties have further agreed that upon receipt of such funds, the parties will release and discharge each other from any and all present and future obligations under the SPA and related agreements.

The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement is a summary, does not purport to be a complete description of the Settlement Agreement, and is subject to, and qualified entirely by reference to, the full text of the Settlement Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s next periodic report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
