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

On June 18, 2025, Allied Gaming & Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Staff”) indicating that, based on the Company’s non-compliance with Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires the Company to hold an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year end, the Staff determined to initiate procedures to delist the Company’s securities unless the Company requests an appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by June 25, 2025. Additionally, the Staff notified the Company that its non-compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for the failure to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, serves as a separate and additional basis for delisting, and that the Company should address this concern before the Panel if the Company appeals the Staff’s determination.

On June 25, 2025, the Company submitted a hearing request and extended stay request, which will stay any delisting of the Company’s common stock pending the decision of the Panel or any extension the Panel may provide.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 25, 2025, the Company issued a press release in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b) announcing that the Company had received the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.*
