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

On May 6, 2026, Allied Gaming & Entertainment
Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Staff”)
notifying the Company that the Staff has determined that the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common
Stock”), will be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and will be suspended at the opening
of business on May 15, 2026 (the “Staff Determination”), unless the Company requests an appeal of the Staff Determination
before an independent Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by May 13, 2026.

On November 4, 2025, Staff notified the Company
that the bid price of the Common Stock had closed at less than $1.00 per share over 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did
not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). The Staff Determination was issued pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) on the grounds that the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule during
a 180-day compliance period and is not eligible for a second 180-day compliance period. Additionally, the Company has not filed its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Delinquent 10-K”). Consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A),
the Company is ineligible for Staff to review and accept a compliance plan with respect to the Delinquent 10-K. Accordingly, the Delinquent
10-K serves as an additional basis for delisting the Common Stock from Nasdaq.

The Company intends to timely request a hearing
before the Panel pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). A request for a hearing regarding a delinquent filing will stay the suspension
of the Common Stock for a period of 15 days from the date of the request. During this period, the Common Stock will continue to be listed
and traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “AGAE.” The Company intends to also request an extended stay of the suspension,
pending the hearing. A Panel will review the request for an extended stay and notify the Company of its conclusion as soon as is practicable.
However, there is no guarantee that such extended stay will be granted. The hearing process provides the Company with an opportunity to
present a comprehensive plan to restore compliance with all applicable listing standards.

The Company is working diligently to regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, including, but not limited to, through the potential effectuation of a reverse stock split, and to complete
the filing of the Delinquent 10-K. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.

This disclosure is being made pursuant to Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires public disclosure of the Staff Determination no later than four business days following receipt.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;
Change in Fiscal Year.

Change in Quorum Requirement

On May 11, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws, effective immediately (the “Amendment”), to reduce the
number of shares that are required to be present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders (a
“Meeting”) for purposes of establishing a quorum. Prior to such amendment, the presence in person or represented by proxy
of the holders of a majority of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat was required to establish a quorum
for the transaction of business at a Meeting. As approved in the Amendment, the presence in person or represented by proxy of the holders
of shares of capital stock having not less than thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the shares of capital stock entitled to
vote thereat will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a Meeting.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is not
complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the complete text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 11, 2026, 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 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K
shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
