Delaware governance filings rarely flag internal process failures this plainly. Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: AENT) submitted a Certificate of Correction to the Delaware Secretary of State on August 26, 2026, nullifying in its entirety a charter amendment the Plantation, Florida company had filed just four weeks earlier.
The document at issue was a Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed July 29, 2026. It amended the Company's existing Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the voting rights of Class E Common Stock, except to the extent required by law. The Certificate of Correction found that the Third A&R Certificate had not been approved in compliance with the Second A&R Certificate and on that basis voided it entirely.
The reversion is complete. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, originally filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 10, 2023, is confirmed as the operative certificate of incorporation. Class E Common Stock retains the voting rights it held under that document.
The 8-K, signed by Executive Chairman Bruce Ogilvie and dated August 28, 2026, was filed under Item 5.03, which covers amendments to articles of incorporation and changes in fiscal year. No fiscal year change is indicated. The Company directs readers to the full Certificate of Correction, attached as Exhibit 3.1, for complete terms.
AENT's Class A common stock trades on Nasdaq at a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company also carries redeemable warrants on Nasdaq under the ticker AENTW, exercisable at $11.50 per share. The Certificate of Correction leaves both listed securities structurally unchanged. What it reverses is the Company's own attempt, made July 29, to strip the vote from its Class E shares.
