Name Change

Effective at 5:01 p.m. ET on December 23, 2022, Ballantyne Strong, Inc., a Delaware corporation, changed its name (the “Name Change”) to FG Group Holdings Inc. (hereafter referred to as the “Company”) by filing a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 21, 2022. The Name Change was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting held on December 6, 2021.

Reincorporation

Effective at 5:03 p.m. ET on December 23, 2022 (the “Effective Time”), the Company completed its reincorporation from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation (the “Reincorporation”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 19, 2022 (“Plan of Merger”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. As of the Effective Time, the Company is known as FG Group Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation, and the rights of the Company’s stockholders began to be governed by the Nevada corporation laws, the Nevada Articles of Incorporation (defined below), and the Nevada Bylaws (defined below).

Copies of the Delaware Certificate of Merger and the Nevada Articles of Merger as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and the Nevada Secretary of State, respectively, are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.2 and 3.3, respectively. A copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation as filed with the Nevada Secretary of State is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.4 (the “Nevada Articles of Incorporation”), and the Company’s Bylaws as a Nevada corporation are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.5 (the “Nevada Bylaws”).

The Reincorporation was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting held on December 6, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Meeting”). A description of the changes in the rights of stockholders as a result of the change in the state of incorporation and the adoption of the Nevada Articles of Incorporation and Nevada Bylaws can be found in the section of Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting captioned “PROPOSAL FOUR – APPROVAL OF THE REINCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY FROM DELAWARE TO NEVADA BY MEANS OF THE ADOPTION AND APPROVAL OF THE PLAN OF MERGER” filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 20, 2022, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

Other than the change in name and the state of incorporation of the Company, neither the Name Change nor the Reincorporation resulted in any change in the business, physical location, management, assets, liabilities or net worth of the Company, nor did it result in any change in location of the Company’s employees, including the Company’s management.

The Name Change and Reincorporation did not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest or number of shares owned in the Company and the Company’s common stock continues to be quoted on the NYSE American. As previously announced in a press release dated December 15, 2022 and filed with the Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K on December 15, 2022, in connection with the Name Change and Reincorporation, the Company’s common stock will begin trading on the NYSE American under the new ticker symbol “FGH” effective as of the opening of trading hours on December 27, 2022. As of such time, the CUSIP number of the Company’s common stock is 302462106.

The foregoing descriptions are only a summary of the Certificate of Amendment, the Plan of Merger, the Delaware Certificate of Merger, the Nevada Articles of Merger, the Nevada Articles of Incorporation, and the Nevada Bylaws, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, the Plan of Merger, the Delaware Certificate of Merger, the Nevada Articles of Merger, the Nevada Articles of Incorporation, and the Nevada Bylaws, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1, 2.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
