PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT

November 23, 2021

This is a supplement (this “Supplement”) to the Proxy Statement of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company” or “AESE”) dated August 23, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”), that was previously sent to you in connection with the Company’s solicitation of stockholder proxies in connection with proposals to be considered by the Company’s stockholders at its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Terms that are used in this Supplement have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement, unless a new definition for such term is provided in this Supplement. The following information supersedes and supplements any conflicting information in the Proxy Statement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS SUPPLEMENT AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We are providing you with these proxy materials because the board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (sometimes referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “annual meeting”), including at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

The annual meeting, which was scheduled for October 14, 2021, was convened and adjourned on October 14, 2021 without any business being conducted due to the fact that quorum was not present at the annual meeting. The annual meeting will be reconvened on December 30, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time (8:00 a.m. Pacific time), virtually and exclusively online via live audio-only webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/alliedesportsent/2021.

We are sending to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting the attached notice of reconvening the annual meeting and this Supplement on or about November 30, 2021 pursuant to applicable Delaware law, as the date of reconvening the annual meeting will exceed 30 days from October 14, 2021, the date that the annual meeting was initial convened. This Supplement also includes additional information related to the proposals to be considered at the reconvened annual meeting, which have been revised since the annual meeting was adjourned on October 14, 2021.

What am I voting on?

There are three matters scheduled for a vote at the reconvened annual meeting:

1. To elect four Class B directors nominated by the Board of Directors to serve for a three-year term expiring in 2024 (Proposal 1);

2. To consider and vote on whether to approve an amendment to the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan that would increase the number of authorized shares of common stock issuable thereunder by 300,000 shares, from 3,463,305 shares to 3,763,305 shares (Proposal 2); and

3. To ratify the selection by the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 (Proposal 3).

If I previously voted in advance of, or at, the annual meeting on October 14, 2021, do I need to vote again?

As noted above, the proposals to be considered at the reconvened annual meeting have changed, and so has the proxy card for which stockholders may cast their votes by proxy. As a result, all Company stockholders that voted a proxy prior to the date of this Notice, whether through the Internet, or by mail should submit a new proxy card indicating their vote through the Internet, or by mail by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card.

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing a new proxy card, through the Internet or by voting electronically at the reconvened annual meeting, your shares will not be voted, even if you submitted a proxy prior to the date of this Notice to vote at the annual meeting convened on October 14, 2021.

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “For” the election of all four nominees for director, “For” the amendment to our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, and “For” the ratification of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. If any other matter is properly presented at the reconvened annual meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

How do I vote?

With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote “For” all the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may “Withhold” your vote for any of the nominees you specify. With respect to the other proposals, you may vote “For” or “Against,” or you may abstain from voting.

Stockholder of Record — Shares Registered in Your Name:    If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote at the reconvened annual meeting, vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card, or vote by proxy via the Internet. Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the reconvened virtual meeting and vote your shares even if you have already voted by proxy:

Beneficial Owner — Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank:    If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should receive a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is submitted to your broker or bank. Alternatively, you may vote over the Internet as instructed by your broker or bank. To vote in real time at the reconvened annual meeting, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

We provide Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your internet access, such as usage charges from internet access providers.

What are “broker non-votes”?

When a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give voting instructions to his or her broker, bank or other securities intermediary holding his or her shares as to how to vote on matters deemed to be “non-routine” under NYSE, the broker, bank or other such agent cannot vote the shares. These un-voted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.” Proposals 1 and 2 are considered to be “non-routine” under NYSE rules and therefore, we expect broker non-votes to exist in connection with each proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 1.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

The following table summarizes the minimum vote needed to approve each proposal and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of the Company’s stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares are present at the meeting or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 39,141,907 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of 19,570,954 shares of common stock must be present at the reconvened meeting or represented by proxy at the reconvened meeting to have a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in real time at the reconvened annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

On November 5, 2021, Alexander Misch, a Class B Director of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”), resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors.

Committee Updates

In connection with Mr. Qin’s appointment to the Board of Directors and the appointment of Mr. Berman as President and Ms. Chen as Chief Investment Officer, the Company made the following updates to its committees: (i) Mr. Qin, Bradley Berman and Joe Lahti were appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Ms. Chen and Lyle Berman were removed from such committee and Mr. Li was appointed chair of such committee; and (ii) Mr. Qin was appointed to serve on the Audit Committee and Mr. Chen was removed from such committee.

Compensation

In connection with the appointments identified above, the Board approved the issuance of 75,000, 50,000 and 25,000 options to Yinghua Chen, Lyle Berman and Adam Pliska, respectively, for their services to be provided. Such options are subject to traditional vesting in equal installments over four years, subject to an accelerated vesting in the event of an acquisition of another company, and availability of shares under the Company’s outstanding 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The appointment of each of Yinghua Chen, Lyle Berman and Adam Pliska as indicated above made such individuals ineligible to receive annual directors fees for non-executives of $30,000 per year per the Company’s director compensation policy. In recognition such fact and the services to be provided by such individuals, the Board of Directors also approved annual compensation of $30,000 to each of Yinghua Chen, Lyle Berman and Adam Pliska for their services.

Vote Required

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. The nominees receiving the highest number of “For” votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the four nominees named above. If any nominee should withdraw or otherwise become unavailable for reasons not presently known, the proxies which would have otherwise been voted for that nominee may be voted for a substitute director nominee selected by our Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each Class B Director nominee named above.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF
THE 2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Proxy Statement included a proposal to amend the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) to amend the Equity Plan to increase the number of authorized shares under the Equity Plan by 4,336,695 shares, from 3,463,305 to 7,800,000. After discussions with certain of the Company’s stockholders, the Board of Director has reduced the proposed increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Equity Plan, and is now is recommending that the Company’s stockholders approve an amendment to the Equity Plan to increase the number of authorized shares under the Equity Plan by 300,000 shares, from 3,463,305 to 3,763,305 shares.

The current number of shares of Company common stock authorized for issuance under the Equity Plan is 3,463,305. Currently, there remain only 83,444 shares of Company common stock available for issuance under the Equity Plan. Given the limited number of remaining shares authorized to be issued under the Equity Plan, the Board of Directors believes it is in the best interest of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares under the Equity Plan by 300,000 shares, from 3,463,305 shares to 3,763,305 shares, so that the Board of Directors may continue to utilize the Equity Plan to further align the interests of eligible participants with those of the Company’s stockholders by providing long-term incentive compensation opportunities tied to the performance of the Company’s common stock.

Vote Required

Amending the Equity Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock represented in person or by proxy at the reconvened meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the amendment of the Equity Plan.

PROPOSAL 3

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Board of Directors and management are committed to the quality, integrity and transparency of the Company’s financial reports. In accordance with the duties set forth in its written charter, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has appointed Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2021 fiscal year. A representative of Marcum LLP is not expected to attend the reconvened annual meeting. To the extent that a representative of Marcum does virtually attend the reconvened annual meeting, he or she will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders, and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.

We are not required by statute or our bylaws or other governing documents to obtain stockholder ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee has submitted the selection of Marcum LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the audit committee may reconsider its selection. Notwithstanding the proposed ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP by the stockholders, the audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year without notice to, or the consent of, the stockholders, if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the reconvened annual meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2021. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP, the audit committee may reconsider its selection, but is not required to do so. Notwithstanding the proposed ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP by our stockholders, the audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of new independent auditors at any time during the year without notice to, or the consent of, the stockholders, if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed by Marcum LLP for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

The audit committee of our Board of Directors reviewed the services provided by Marcum LLP during the 2020 fiscal year and the fees billed for such services. After consideration, the audit committee determined that the receipt of these fees by Marcum LLP was compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The audit committee discussed these services and fees with Marcum LLP and our management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Pre-Approval Policy

The audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.
