This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2019 by the Reporting Persons relating to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (as so amended, the “Initial Statement”). Information reported in the Initial Statement remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Initial Statement. All references in the Initial Statement and this Amendment to the “Schedule 13D” will be deemed to refer to the Initial Statement as amended and supplemented by this Amendment.

Items 2(a) and 2(c) of this Schedule 13D are hereby amended to include the following:

(a) This Amendment is being filed jointly by the following persons (the “Reporting Persons”):

(c) Black Ridge’s principal business activities prior to June 9, 2020 involved managing assets. On June 10, 2020, Black Ridge announced its entry into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) and intention to enter the freeze dried food business for human consumption. Kenneth DeCubellis is an individual who is chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer of Black Ridge.

Item 4 of this Schedule 13D are hereby amended to include the following:

(c) As discussed in Item 2 and announced in Black Ridge’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2020, Black Ridge entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire certain assets and agreements related to the freeze dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the amount of Black Ridge shares exchanged for the acquired assets varies based on the extent to which the amount of cash proceeds Black Ridge will derive from sale of its holdings of shares of common stock of the Issuer are less than $5,000,000 or greater than $6,000,000 on the date specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Final Determination Date”). The Final Determination Date will be the first anniversary of the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement if by January 1, 2021, the Black Ridge has contributed $4,000,000 to the business in the form of proceeds from the sale of shares of Issuer, proceeds from a financing secured by the Issuer’s shares, proceeds from an equity or convertible debt financing, legal fees paid in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement or expenses incurred by Black Ridge after August 1, 2020 (the “Company Contribution”). If the Company Contribution is less than $4 million on January 1, 2021, then the Final Determination Date will be January 1, 2021.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Company Contribution thereunder, as described above, the Reporting Persons effected the sales with respect to shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock as reflected in Schedule A to this Amendment. In addition, on June 15, 2020, Black Ridge entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (the “10b5-1 Plan”) for the purpose of selling its holdings of shares of common stock of the Issuer.

Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of this Schedule 13D are hereby amended to include the following:

(a) and (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference. As of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 17, 2020, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 3,033,532 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 10.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Percentage calculated based on 28,346,577 shares of common stock outstanding shares as reported in the Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc.’s Form S-1/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2020.
