#### Allied Gaming & Entertainment Acknowledges Receipt of Notice from Dissident Shareholder

**New York, NY (June 6, 2025)** – Allied Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGAE) (the "Company" or "AGAE"), a global experiential entertainment company, today confirmed receipt of a purported notice from Knighted Pastures, LLC ("Knighted") of its intent to nominate individuals to stand for election to the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") at AGAE's combined 2024/2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting").

The Company issued the following statement:

AGAE strongly disagrees with the assertions made by Knighted. Their campaign is self-serving and aims to seize control of the Company without offering any premium to AGAE's valued shareholders. AGAE benefits from a highly qualified, engaged Board that has extensive experience relevant to the Company's business strategy, and a wholesale Board change is unjustified and an unwarranted risk to AGAE stockholders.

This past year, Knighted initiated two lawsuits against the Company, in quick succession, which Management and the Board believed were designed only to advance its self-serving interest to obtain control of the Company and the Company's valuable cash assets without compensating AGAE's shareholders by paying a control premium. These lawsuits consumed significant financial resources and diverted Management's attention away from crucial business-building activities, which Management believes has ultimately harmed shareholder value.

Moreover, Knighted's hostile approach has severely damaged relationships with multiple strategic partners. These partners, essential for AGAE's long-term growth, expressed deep concern over the turmoil caused by Knighted's confrontational tactics.

In good faith, AGAE's Board previously offered a peaceful resolution, inviting Knighted representatives onto the Board to contribute constructively to the Company's future direction. Regrettably, Knighted rejected this amicable solution, demanding immediate and unconditional control.

AGAE firmly believes that Knighted's tactics are detrimental to all shareholders. AGAE's goal is clear: protect and enhance shareholder value through strategic, transparent, and responsible governance.

AGAE stockholders are not required to take any action at this time. The Board and its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the Knighted materials in accordance with the Company's process and guidelines. The Board will make its recommendation regarding director

nominees in the Company's proxy statement and accompanying WHITE proxy card, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and mailed to all AGAE stockholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting.
