Allied Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGAE) (the “Company” or “AGAE”), a global experiential entertainment company, acknowledges recent Schedule 13D filings made by Ourgame International Holdings Limited, a stockholder of the Company (“Ourgame”) and Knighted Pastures LLC, a stockholder of the Company.

Furthermore, in the Schedule 13D filing, Ourgame disclosed that it has submitted a recommendation for two candidates to be added to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board intends to review the qualifications of these candidates and will publicly disclose the results of such review in due course.
