Analysis · AENT · Trade & Services
A Certificate of Correction filed with Delaware on August 26, 2026 nullifies the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that had eliminated Class E voting rights. The nullification stems from the Third A&R Certificate not being approved in compliance with the stockholder approval requirements of the Second A&R Certificate. Consequently, the Second A&R Certificate (filed February 10, 2023) is restored as the operative charter, reinstating Class E voting rights. This reverses the July 29, 2026 action aimed at qualifying for the Russell 3000 index and raises governance questions about the validity of the prior approval process.
