Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective August 31, 2026, The Arena Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change the name of the Company to “Paradium.AI, Inc.” (the “Name Change”). Pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, no stockholder approval was required for the Charter Amendment because it only related to a name change. A copy of the Charter Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on NYSE American. In connection with the name change, the Company’s trading symbol on NYSE American became “PAAI”. Stockholders holding shares in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee are not required to take any action in connection with the name change.

The name change does not affect the rights of the Company’s stockholders. No action is required by current stockholders with respect to the name change, and stock certificates reflecting the prior corporate name will continue to be valid. The CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock remains unchanged.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 10, 2026, the Company made available an updated investor presentation, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the presentation is also available on the Company’s website at https://paradium.ai/.

The information furnished with this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
