OF

ANDERSEN GROUP INC.

(Pursuant to Section 241 and 245 of

the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

Andersen Group Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies as follows:

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Andersen Group Inc. The date of filing of its original certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was April 15, 2025.

The Corporation has not received any payment for any shares of its stock. The effective date of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be the date it is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

THIRD: This Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

1. Name. The name of the Corporation is Andersen Group Inc.

2. Address; Registered Office and Agent. The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is c/o Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, City of Wilmington, New Castle County, State of Delaware 19808 and the name of its registered agent at such address is the Corporation Service Company.

3. Purposes. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law.

4. Number of Shares.

4.1 The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 1,400,000,000 shares, which shall be divided into two classes, consisting of 1,300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Common Stock shall be divided into two series, of which 1,000,000,000 shares are designated as Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and 300,000,000 shares are designated as Class B common stock (the “Class B Common Stock”). For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is a series of the class of Common Stock for all purposes, including, without limitation, under Section 242 of the General Corporation Law.


4.2 Subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased, in each case by the requisite vote of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, without a separate class vote of the holders of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, unless a vote of any such holders is expressly required pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the number of authorized shares of any class of stock may not be decreased below the number of shares of such class then outstanding, and (ii) the number of shares of any series of Common Stock that have been designated for issuance as shares of such series may not be decreased below the number of shares of such series then outstanding, plus in the case of Class A Common Stock following the Admission Event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in connection with (x) the redemption or exchange of all outstanding Class X Umbrella Units, pursuant to Section 10.01 of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement, and (y) the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, exchange rights, conversion rights or similar rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock.

5. Classes of Shares. The designation, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of each class of stock (and, in the case of the Common Stock, each series thereof) are as follows:

5.1 Common Stock.

(i) Voting Rights.

(1) Each holder of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote for each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. Each holder of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes for each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote, except that, each holder of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote per share on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote automatically from and after the date of the Triggering Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5.1(i)(2), holders of shares of each series of Common Stock, as such, will have no voting power with respect to, and will not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such series of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote thereon separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series under this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or under General Corporation Law.

(2) In addition to any vote required by law or the other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, (a) any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including by merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication, reorganization or similar event) that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class A Common Stock in a manner that is materially and disproportionately adverse as compared to the Class B Common Stock must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting as a separate series, and (b) any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including by merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication, reorganization or similar event) that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class B Common Stock in a manner that is materially and disproportionately adverse as compared to the Class A Common Stock must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting as a separate series, it being understood that any merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication, reorganization or other similar event following the Admission Event shall not be deemed an amendment hereof if such

 

2


merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication, reorganization or similar event (x) constitutes a Disposition Event in which holders of Class X Umbrella Units are required to exchange such Class X Umbrella Units pursuant to Section 10.04 of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement in such Disposition Event and receive consideration in such Disposition Event in accordance with the terms of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement as in effect prior to such Disposition Event and (y) provides for payments under or in respect of the tax receivable or similar agreement entered into by the Corporation from time to time with any holders of Common Stock and/or securities of AT Umbrella LLC to be made in connection with any such merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication, reorganization or other similar event in accordance with the terms of such tax receivable or similar agreement as in effect prior to such merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication, reorganization or other similar event.

(3) Except as otherwise provided by this Certificate of Incorporation or required by applicable law, the holders of Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters (or, if any holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of Common Stock, as a single class with the holders of such series of Preferred Stock).

(4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time following the Admission Event and prior to the occurrence of the Triggering Event the ratio at which Class X Umbrella Units are redeemable or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Article X of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement is amended, the number of votes per share of Class B Common Stock to which holders of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled pursuant to Section 5.1(i)(1) shall be automatically equitably adjusted accordingly.

(ii) Dividends; Stock Splits or Combinations.

(1) Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference senior to or the right to participate with the Class A Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends, dividends of cash, shares of stock of the Corporation or property may be declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock out of the assets of the Corporation that are by law available therefor, at the times and in the amounts as the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) in its discretion may determine.

(2) Except as provided in Section 5.1(ii)(3) with respect to stock dividends (or dividends of rights or options to acquire stock), dividends of cash or property may not be declared or paid on shares of Class B Common Stock.

(3) In no event will any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision or combination of stock, reclassification or recapitalization be declared or made on or in respect of shares of any series of Common Stock (each, a “Stock Adjustment”) unless (a) a corresponding Stock Adjustment is declared or made on in respect of the outstanding shares of the other series of Common Stock in the same proportion and the same manner and (b) the Stock Adjustment has been reflected in the same economically equivalent manner on all Units; provided, however, stock dividends (or dividends of rights or options to acquire stock) declared with respect to each series of Common Stock may only be paid with shares of stock (or rights or options to acquire stock) of the same series of Common Stock.

(iii) Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock , the holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock will be entitled to receive, pari passu, an amount per share equal to the par value thereof, and thereafter the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the

 

3


Corporation available for distribution to stockholders. Following the Admission Event and without limiting the rights of the holders of Paired Interests to redeem or exchange their Class X Umbrella Units for shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 10.01 of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement (or for the consideration payable in respect of shares of Class A Common Stock in such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up), the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock will not be entitled to receive, with respect to such shares, any assets of the Corporation in excess of the par value thereof, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

5.2 Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series of any number of shares, provided that the aggregate number of shares issued and not retired of any and all such series shall not exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock hereinabove authorized, and with such powers, including voting powers, if any, and the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, all as shall hereafter be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the designation and issue of such shares of Preferred Stock from time to time adopted by the Board pursuant to authority so to do which is hereby expressly vested in the Board. The powers, including voting powers, if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Each series of shares of Preferred Stock: (i) may have such voting rights or powers, full or limited, if any; (ii) may be subject to redemption at such time or times and at such prices, if any; (iii) may be entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or noncumulative) at such rate or rates, on such conditions and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of stock, if any; (iv) may have such rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of, upon any distribution of the assets of, or in the event of any merger, sale or consolidation of, the Corporation, if any; (v) may be made convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation (or any other securities of the Corporation or any other Person) at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments, if any; (vi) may be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of shares of such series in such amount or amounts, if any; (vii) may be entitled to the benefit of conditions and restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Corporation or any subsidiary, upon the issue of any additional shares (including additional shares of such series or of any other series) and upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Corporation or any subsidiary of, any outstanding shares of the Corporation, if any; (viii) may be subject to restrictions on transfer or registration of transfer, or on the amount of shares that may be owned by any Person or group of Persons; and (ix) may have such other relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any; all as shall be stated in said resolution or resolutions of the Board providing for the designation and issue of such shares of Preferred Stock.

6. Class B Common Stock

6.1 Retirement of Class B Common Stock. A holder of shares of Class B Common Stock may surrender such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock to the Corporation for no consideration at any time. Following the surrender of any shares of Class B Common Stock to the Corporation, the shares so surrendered shall be cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued by the Corporation. Following the Admission Event, to the extent that any holder of shares of Class B Common Stock exercises such holder’s right pursuant to Section 10.01 of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement to have its Class X Umbrella Units redeemed by AT Umbrella LLC in accordance with the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement, then simultaneous with the payment of cash or Class A Common Stock consideration to such holder by AT Umbrella LLC (in the case of a redemption) or the Corporation (in the case of an election by the Corporation pursuant to the

 

4


AT Umbrella LLC to effect a direct exchange with such holder) in accordance with the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement, the Corporation shall cancel for no consideration a number of shares of Class B Common Stock registered in the name of the redeeming or exchanging holder equal to the number of Class X Umbrella Units held by such holder that are redeemed or exchanged in such redemption or exchange transaction.

6.2 Transfer of Class B Common Stock. Following the Admission Event, except as set forth in Section 6.1, no holder of Class B Common Stock may Transfer shares of Class B Common Stock, as applicable, to any Person unless such holder Transfers a corresponding number of Units comprising a Paired Interest with the Class B Common Stock to the same Person in accordance with the provisions of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement. If any outstanding share of Class B Common Stock ceases to be held by a holder of the Unit corresponding to such share, such share shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or such holder of Class B Common Stock, as applicable, be transferred to the Corporation for no consideration and retired.

6.3 Reservation of Shares of Class A Common Stock. Following the Admission Event, the Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of the issuance upon exchange of Paired Interests, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Paired Interests, pursuant to Section 10.01 of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement. The Corporation covenants that all the shares of Class A Common Stock that are issued upon the exchange of such Paired Interests will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

6.4 Taxes. Following the Admission Event, the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exercise by the holders of Class X Umbrella Units of their right under Section 10.01 of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement to redeem or exchange Class X Umbrella Units will be made without charge to the holders of Class X Umbrella Units for any transfer taxes, stamp taxes or duties or other similar tax in respect of the issuance; provided, however, that if any such shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that of the then record holder of the Class X Umbrella Units being redeemed or exchanged (or The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for the account of a participant of The Depository Trust Company that will hold the shares for the account of such holder), then such holder and/or the Person in whose name such shares are to be delivered, shall pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that the tax has been paid or is not payable.

6.5 Class B Common Stock Issuance Rights. Following the Admission Event, to the extent Units are issued pursuant to the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement to anyone other than the Corporation or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (including pursuant to Article III (or any equivalent successor provision) of the AT Umbrella LLC Agreement), Aggregator, at its sole discretion, shall have the power to issue (or may direct the Corporation to issue) an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth herein) to the same Person to which such Units are issued for consideration having a value equal to the par value thereof.

7. Board of Directors.

7.1 Number of Directors; Composition of the Board.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or the General Corporation Law, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. Unless and except to the extent that the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Corporation (as such By-laws may be amended from time to time, the “By-laws”) shall so require, the election of the directors of the Corporation (the “Directors”) need not be by written ballot. Until the

 

5


Triggering Event, subject to the special rights, if any, of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect additional Directors, the Board will consist of a single class of Directors, all of whom shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders. Subject to the special rights, if any, of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect additional Directors, the total number of Directors constituting the entire Board shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the majority of the Whole Board. For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term “Whole Board” will mean the total number of authorized directors, whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent directors.

(ii) During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock have the right to elect additional Directors as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2 (“Preferred Stock Directors”), upon the commencement, and for the duration, of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then total authorized number of Directors shall automatically be increased by such specified number of Preferred Stock Directors, and the holders of the related Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the Preferred Stock Directors pursuant to the provisions of the Board’s designation for the series of Preferred Stock and (ii) each such Preferred Stock Director shall serve until such Preferred Stock Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such Preferred Stock Director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to such provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect Preferred Stock Directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such Preferred Stock Directors elected by the holders of such Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such Preferred Stock Directors, shall forthwith terminate (and any such Preferred Stock Director shall thereupon cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to serve as, a Director) and the total and authorized number of Directors shall be reduced accordingly.

7.2 Classified Board. Following the Triggering Event, the Board (other than Preferred Stock Directors) shall be divided into three (3) classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I Directors shall initially serve until the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Triggering Event; Class II Directors shall initially serve until the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Triggering Event; and Class III Directors shall initially serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders following Triggering Event. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Triggering Event, each Director of each class the term of which shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders next following the annual meeting at which such Director was elected. Immediately following the Triggering Event, the Board is authorized to designate the Directors (other than any Preferred Stock Directors) then in office as Class I Directors, Class II Directors or Class III Directors.

7.3 Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Subject to applicable law and the special rights, if any, of the holders of any one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect Preferred Stock Directors, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors or any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, disability, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board, or by the sole remaining Director and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any Director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such Director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be duly elected and qualified or until such Director’s earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any Director then in office.

 

6


7.4 Removal of Directors. Except for Preferred Stock Directors, any Director or the entire Board may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation in respect of any series of Preferred Stock) with respect to any Preferred Stock Director, until the Triggering Event, any Director may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, voting together as a single class.

From and after the date of the Triggering Event, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a series, or, to the extent expressly permitted by the certificate of designation relating to one or more series of Preferred Stock, by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be effected by the consent in writing of the requisite holders of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting separately as a single series, or by consent in writing of the requisite holders of such series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, as applicable, in lieu of a duly called annual or special meeting of holders of Class B Common Stock or such series of Preferred Stock, as the case may be. Until the Triggering Event, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected by the consent in writing of the requisite stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon in lieu of a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders.

8.2 Meetings of Stockholders.

(ii) Subject to any special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only (1) by or at the direction of the Board pursuant to a written resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board or (2) by or at the direction of the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer. In addition, until the Triggering Event (but not thereafter), special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called by the Secretary of the Corporation at the request of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, acting together as a single class. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
