PARIS, FRANCE
(May 25, 2023 - 7:45 am CET) - Atari® (the
"Company") — one of the world's most iconic
consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers —announced
today the launch of an offering of senior unsecured bonds
convertible into new ordinary shares maturing on July 31, 2026 (the
"Convertible Bonds"), for a nominal amount of
approximately 30 million euros, without shareholders' preferential
subscription rights, by way of a public offering in France and with
a priority subscription period for shareholders to subscribe for
the bonds on a reducible and irreducible basis (the
"Offering").
Legal framework of the
Offering
The Offering is being carried out by way of a
public offering in France, except offerings as defined in paragraph
1 of article L.411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code,
without preferential subscription rights for shareholders with a
priority subscription period, in accordance with the 13th and 23rd
resolutions adopted by the combined general meeting of shareholders
of the Company held on September 27, 2022.
A priority subscription period of four business
days, from May 25, 2023 to May 30, 2023 (included), is granted to
the shareholders whose shares are registered in their account on
May 24, 2023, which will enable them to subscribe in priority to
the Convertible Bonds (i) on an irreducible basis up to the amount
of their share in the share capital of the Company and (ii) on a
reducible basis to a number of Convertible Bonds higher than the
number to which they can subscribe on an irreducible basis,
allocated in proportion to their irreducible applications and, in
any event, up to the limit of their demand. This priority period is
neither transferable nor negotiable.
Convertible Bonds not subscribed for, on an
irreducible or reducible basis, within the priority subscription
period by shareholders will be offered to the public in the context
of a public offering in France, it being specified that the
Offering is subject to a subscription commitment by Irata LLC
(“Irata”) for the entire amount of the
convertible bond offering during the subscription period (the
“Subscription Commitment”). Any orders received
within the public offering are therefore likely not to be
served.
The subscription price of the Convertible Bonds
under the priority subscription period will be equal to the
subscription price of the Convertible Bonds in the public offering
and is set at 0.15 euro per share. The subscription price per
Convertible Bond shall be equal to the nominal value of each
Convertible Bond, to be fully paid up in cash and/or by way of
set-off of claims at the time of subscription. On the basis of the
closing price of the Company's shares on May 23, 2023, i.e. 0.1304
euro, the subscription price of one Convertible Bond of 0.15 euro
represents a premium of 15%.
Subscription commitment
Irata, a 27.73% shareholder of the Company and
held by Wade Rosen, chairman and CEO of Atari, has irrevocably
undertaken in the Subscription Commitment to subscribe to the
Offering during the priority subscription period of the Offering,
on an irreducible basis, up to the amount of its stake in the
Company's share capital (i.e. a total number of 55,460,000
Convertible Bonds) and on a reducible basis, up to the balance of
the total amount of the Offering not subscribed by it on an
irreducible basis, i.e. up to a maximum total amount (including
conversion premium) of 21,681,000 euros (i.e., up to 144,540,000
Convertible Bonds). Moreover, in the event that at the end of the
subscription period of the Offering, the subscriptions do not
represent 100% of the amount of the Offering, Irata has irrevocably
and unconditionally undertaken to subscribe for the Convertible
Bonds which will have not been fully paid by the subscribers,
allowing for full subscription of this threshold of 100% of the
principal amount of this convertible bonds offering, i.e. up to a
maximum of 200,000,000 Convertible Bonds for an amount of 30
million euros.
The amount of the Subscription Commitment will
be paid, in priority, by way of set-off against due claims that
Irata holds on the Company in respect of shareholders' loans
previously granted, for an aggregate amount of €16,333,740.68 and
the balance in cash.
In addition, Irata has agreed not to convert the
Convertible Bonds prior to June 30, 2025 (date on which the
triggering threshold for a mandatory tender offering on the
Company's shares is raised from 30% to 50% of the shares and/or the
voting rights), provided that in the event of a tender offer on
Atari's securities filed by a third party prior to June 30, 2025,
Irata will have the option to convert its Convertible Bonds prior
to such date. As from January 1, 2024, Irata also retains the right
to convert its Convertible Bonds upon clearance by AMF (décision de
conformité) of a tender offer on the Company's securities filed by
Irata (or an affiliate).
Use of
proceeds
On the basis of 100% of the Offering, the gross
proceeds from the Offering will amount to approximately 30 million
euros and the net proceeds will amount to 29 million euros, it
being specified that Irata's subscription to the Offering will be
made by way of debt set-off in respect of the repayment of
shareholder loans up to its current amount of €16,333,740.68, thus
reinforcing the balance sheet of the Company.
The balance of the proceeds from the Offering
will enable the Company to increase its financial flexibility and
general corporate purposes in the context of the development of its
transformation strategy:
- Continued investment in growth initiatives, notably with the
on-going development of more than 12 new games that are expected to
be launched in the next 18 months; and
- Seize additional acquisition of opportunities that may arise,
including intellectual property rights and direct minority
investment in companies offering value-added solutions for the
Group.
Prior to the Offering, the Company does not have
sufficient consolidated net working capital to meet its current
obligations for the next (12) months, including the expected
contribution of Night Dive Studios. Based on current and planned
development projects, notably given the expenses incurred for the
ongoing development of new games, the Company will be able to fund
its operations until the end of the month of June 2023, without
taking into account the proceeds from the Offer. The net amount of
additional cash required by the Company to meet its needs over the
next 12 months amounts to around 4.5 million euros.
Although the Company currently benefits from the
continued financial support of its principal shareholder Irata
through September 2023, the Offering is the preferred solution for
the Company to finance its activity, it being specified that this
transaction is subject to the firm and irrevocable Subscription
Commitment by Irata covering 100% of the Offering amount. In the
event of completion of the Offering, the Company will have
sufficient consolidated net working capital to meet its cash
requirements over the next twelve (12) months.
Date of issue and interest
The Convertible Bonds shall be issued at par and
will bear interest from June 5, 2023 (the "Issue
Date") at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually
in arrears on July 31 and January 31 of each year (or if such date
is not a business day the following business day), and for the
first time on January 31, 2024, being 0.00975 euro per Convertible
Bond per year.
Conversion Right
Holders of Convertible Bonds will be granted a
conversion right into new shares of the Company (the
"Conversion Right") that they are entitled to
exercise at any time from the Issue Date (included) until the
seventh business day (included) preceding the Maturity Date, or the
relevant early redemption date, as the case may be.
The conversion ratio is set at one share per
Convertible Bond, subject to customary adjustments, as described in
the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds in the Securities
Note.
The new shares potentially delivered will be
fully fungible with the existing shares of the Company, and shall
bear, in any case, current dividend from the date of their delivery
and shall be admitted to trading on the Euronext Growth market in
Paris ("Euronext Growth") (ISIN:
FR0010478248).
Redemption of Convertible
Bonds
Unless previously converted, redeemed or
repurchased and cancelled, the Convertible Bonds will be redeemed
at par on July 31, 2026 (or the following business day if such date
is not a business day) (the "Maturity Date").
The Convertible Bonds may be redeemed prior to
the Maturity Date, at the Company's option, and at the holders'
option, under certain conditions.
In particular, the Convertible Bonds may be
redeemed early in full at par plus accrued and unpaid interest at
the option of the Company at any time on or after August 21, 2025
and until the Maturity Date, subject to at least 30 (but nor more
than 60) calendar days' prior notice, if the arithmetic average
calculated over a period of 20 consecutive trading days selected by
the Company from among the 40 consecutive trading days preceding
the date of publication of the notice of early redemption, of the
daily product of (i) the volume-weighted average price of the
Company's shares on Euronext Growth on each trading day during the
considered period and (ii) the applicable conversion ratio in
effect on each of these dates exceeds 130% of the nominal value of
the Convertible Bonds.
The Convertible Bonds may also be redeemed early
in full at par plus accrued and unpaid interest at the option of
the Company at any time if the amount of the Convertible Bonds
outstanding is equal or less than 20% of the total amount of the
Offering.
In the event of a change of control of the
Company, the holders of the Convertible Bonds may request the early
redemption of their Convertible Bonds prior to the Maturity Date at
par plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Admission to trading
Application will be made for the Convertible
Bonds to be listed on Euronext Growth before 5 July, 2023 at the
latest.

euros Offering and a 0.15 euro conversion price, the impact of the

Pro forma informationOn May 12,
2023, ATARI completed the acquisition of 100% of Night Dive. In
this context, the Company has prepared unaudited pro forma
consolidated financial information taking into account the
Acquisition, a summary of which is presented below on a voluntary
basis. The pro forma consolidated financial position of Atari as of
September 30, 2022 has been prepared to illustrate the impact of
the Acquisition and the related financing with retroactive effect
to September 30, 2022. The pro forma consolidated income statement
of the Atari Group for the six-month period ended September 30,
2022 has been prepared assuming that the Acquisition and its
financing were completed on April 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated financial information is based on a number of
assumptions that Atari believes are reasonable as of the date of
this document and in the context of the Acquisition. A detailed
post-acquisition analysis may reveal differences in accounting
principles that have not been taken into account in the preparation
of the pro forma financial information. The pro forma financial
information has not been audited by Atari’s statutory auditor and
is based, in addition to the corresponding audited consolidated
financial statements of Atari, on information prepared by Night
Dive for the period ended on September 30, 2022. In addition, the
financial information of Night Dive used for the preparation of the
pro forma financial information has not been audited and are not
being audited in the United-States. As a result, undue reliance
should not be placed on the unaudited pro forma financial
information set forth in this Prospectus, which, beyond their
illustrative nature, may not accurately reflect the current or
future performance of the combined entity.

The pro forma financial information does not
reflect the earn-out (up to $10 million) that may be paid in cash
over the next three years. This will be estimated and recorded in
Atari SA's consolidated financial statements as of September 30,
2023, based on Atari's estimates.
Key financial information as of 31 March
2023 (unaudited)For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023,
the revenues of the Group for the year is expected to stand at
around €10 M, a decrease of around 30% compared to previous fiscal
year. Financial information as of 31 March 2023 for the four
business lines of the Group:
- Games - Games revenues are expected to reach
around €7.0 M, compared to €5.7 M in previous period.
- Hardware - Hardware revenues for the period
are expected to reach around €0.8 M, compared to €3.1 M in previous
financial year.
- Licensing - Licensing revenues for the period
are expected to be around €1.2 M, compared to €1.3 M in previous
financial year.
- Web3 - Web3 revenues for the period are
expected to be around €0.8 M, in decrease compared to previous
period which accounted for exceptional sales of certain digital
assets.
Point 2.3 What are the key risks that are
specific to the issuer?
Main risks specific to the
Company: risks are classified according to three levels of
materiality (low, moderate, high).
- Risks related to the future results of operations and financial
condition presented in the pro forma financial information
(moderate): The pro forma financial information has not been
audited by Atari's auditor and is based, in addition to Atari's
corresponding audited consolidated financial statements, on
information prepared by Night Dive for the period ended September
30, 2022. In addition, the financial information of Night Dive used
in the preparation of the pro forma financial information is
unaudited and unaudited in the United States.
- Risks related to Night Dive's development process and delayed
releases of games (high): Night Dive has experienced development
delays for its products in the past which caused it to delay or
cancel release dates. Any failure to meet anticipated production or
release schedules likely would result in a delay of revenue and/or
possibly a significant shortfall in Atari's revenue, increase its
development and/or marketing expenses, harm its profitability, and
cause its operating results to be materially different than
anticipated.
- Risk associated with expansion into new business sectors
(high): The Group intends to expand its operations beyond video
game publishing activity, which requires new technological,
technical and commercial expertise. Difficulties encountered in the
development of these new projects, in their timing or in the level
of competition in those new business sectors may challenge the
commercial success of the Group in those new projects.
- Risk associated with liquidity and going concern (moderate): As
at September 30, 2022, the Company reported a net loss of €5.4M
(compared with €3.5M as of September 30, 2021). Shareholders’
equity was €13.0M as of September 30, 2022, compared to €4.4M as of
March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023 net debt stood at €6.8M
compared to a net debt of €4.6M in previous year, and includes 2.0M
€ of cash and 8.9 M€ of financial debt. The Company conducted a
review of its liquidity risk based on projections of all of its
four activities: Gaming, Hardware, Licensing and Web3. The net
amount of additional cash required by the Company to meet its needs
over the next 12 months amount to around EUR 4.5 M. Based on
current and planned development projects and including the
contribution from Night Dive, the Company will be able to fund its
operations until the end of the month of June 2023. The Company
currently benefits from the continued financial support of its
principal shareholder Irata LLC through September 2023, and could
benefit from the financial flexibility provided by the Offering,
that is subject an irrevocable Subscription Commitment by Irata LLC
covering 100% of the Offering amount, to meet its cash requirements
over the next twelve (12) months.
- Risk associated with the success of games (high): The main
risks intrinsic to video game publishing concern the lifetime of a
given game and changes in technologies. The commercial success of
games depends on the public’s response, which is not always
predictable and may negatively impact Group’s revenues and future
earnings.
- Risk associated with development process of games and delayed
releases of games (high): Atari may have to delay the launch of a
video game for several reasons. Delays in launch or termination of
games and their release could negatively impact the Group’s
revenues, income and future earnings. Any failures in production
may also result in increased development costs.
- Risk related to litigation (moderate): The Group is subject to
regular threats of litigation in the ordinary course of business
related to its commercial operations and will vigorously defend any
such cases if filed.
- Risk related to piracy (moderate): Highly organized pirate
operations in the video game industry have been expanding globally.
In addition, the proliferation of technology designed to circumvent
the protection measures integrated into games, the availability of
broadband access to the Internet and the ability to download
pirated copies of games from various Internet sites all have
contributed to ongoing and expanded piracy. These illegal
activities could adversely affect the Group's business.

Point 3.2 – Where will the securities be
traded?
The Convertible Bonds will be admitted to
trading on Euronext Growth within thirty (30) days following
settlement and delivery.
Point 3.3 - Is there a guarantee attached
to the securities
Not applicable
Point 3.4 – What are the key risks that
are specific to the securities?
Main risk factors related to the
securities Bondholders are advised to consider the main
key securities risks listed hereinafter:
- It is not certain that a market will develop for the
Convertible Bonds: The Convertible Bonds will be admitted to
trading on Euronext Growth within thirty (30) days following
settlement and delivery. However, no assurance can be given that an
active market for the Convertible Bonds will develop or that
Bondholders will be able to sell their Convertible Bonds on such
market at satisfactory price and liquidity, in particular given the
fact that the main shareholder has undertaken to subscribe to 100%
of the of the Convertible Bonds. In addition, if such a market were
to develop, it cannot be excluded that the market price of the
Convertible Bonds would be subject to significant volatility. If an
active market does not develop, the liquidity and price of the
Convertible Bonds will be affected. Finally, there is no obligation
to make a market in the Convertible Bonds and the Company has not
mandated any intermediary to ensure the liquidity of the
Convertible Bonds.
- The Company may not be able to pay the interest or redeem the
Convertible Bonds: The Company may not have sufficient financial
capacity to pay the interest or redeem the Convertible Bonds. The
Company's ability to pay interest and to redeem the Convertible
Bonds will depend, among other things, on its financial situation
at the time of payment of interest or redemption and may be limited
by applicable law, by the terms of its indebtedness and, if
applicable, by the terms of any new financing in place at that time
that may replace, increase or modify the Company's existing or
future debt.
- The market price of the Company’s shares may fluctuate and fall
below the conversion price of the Convertible Bonds: The Company's
shares may be traded at a price below the market price prevailing
on the date of determination of the conversion price of the
Convertible Bonds. The Company cannot provide any assurance that
the Company's share market price will not fall below the such
price. The Company's cannot provide any assurance that, subsequent
to the conversion of the Convertible Bonds, investors will be able
to sell their shares at a price at least equal to or greater than
such price.
- The conversion of the Convertible Bonds or the sale of the
shares resulting from the conversion of the Convertible Bonds on
the market by bondholders is likely to have an adverse impact on
the market price of the shares: The conversion of the Convertible
Bonds or the sale of the shares resulting from the conversion of
the Convertible Bonds by Bondholders is likely to have an adverse
impact on the market price of the Company's shares. The Company
cannot foresee the possible effects of these events on the market
price of the shares.
- Bondholders have limited anti-dilution protection: The
Conversion Ratio applicable in the event of conversion into new
shares of the Convertible Bonds will only be adjusted in limited
circumstances. Therefore, the Conversion Ratio will not be adjusted
in all cases where an event relating to the Company or any other
event would be likely to affect the value of the Company's shares
or, more generally, to have a dilutive impact.
- The early redemption of the Convertible Bonds is subject to the
approval of the Bondholders' meeting: In the event notably (i) of a
breach by the Company of its obligations under the Convertible
Bonds, (ii) cross default, (iii) preventive or collective
insolvency proceeding or (iv) delisting of the Company's shares,
the early redemption of the Convertible Bonds may only be triggered
if a majority of the Bondholders have approved the request. Given
Irata's subscription commitment and the significant holding of
Convertible Bonds that could result, there is no guarantee that a
vote in favor of early redemption will be obtained.
- Risk related to meetings and vote of Noteholders, modification
and waivers: Certain provisions permit in certain cases defined
majorities to bind all Bondholders including Bondholders who did
not attend (or were not represented) and vote at the relevant
general meeting, Bondholders who voted in a manner contrary to the
majority and Bondholders who did not respond to, or rejected, the
relevant resolution. If a decision is adopted by a majority of
Bondholders and such modifications were to impair or limit the
rights of the Bondholders, this may have a negative impact on the
market value of the Convertible Bonds and hence Bondholders may
lose part of their investment.
Section 4 – Key information on the
admission to tradingPoint 4.1 – Under which
conditions and timetable can I invest in these
securities?
Structure of the Offering: the
offer of the Convertible Bonds is carried out by way of a public
offering, without preferential subscription rights for shareholders
with a priority subscription period of four business days, which
will enable them to subscribe in priority to the Convertible Bonds
(i) on an irreducible basis up to the amount of their share in the
share capital of the Company and (ii) on a reducible basis to a
number of Convertible Bonds higher than the number to which they
can subscribe on an irreducible basis, allocated in proportion to
their irreducible applications and, in any event, up to the limit
of their demand.Convertible Bonds not subscribed for, on an
irreducible or a reducible basis, within the priority subscription
period by shareholders will be offered to the public in a public
offering in France (the “Public Offering”), it
being specified that Irata commits to subscribe the Offering for
the entire Offering during the priority subscription period. The
orders received within the Public Offering are therefore likely not
to be served. The Offering is made under the 13th and 23rd
resolutions adopted by the combined general meeting of the
Company's shareholders held on 27 September 2022 (the
“Offering”).Priority subscription
period: a priority subscription period of four consecutive
trading days, from 25 May 2023 to 30 May 2023 (included), is
granted to the shareholders whose shares are registered in their
account on 24 May 2023. This priority subscription period is
neither transferable nor negotiable.Subscription price of
the Convertible Bonds: 0.15 euro per Convertible Bond,
equal to the nominal value of each Convertible Bond, to be fully
paid up by payment in cash (in cash and / or by debt setoff) at the
time of subscription. On the basis of the closing price of the
Company's shares on 23 may 2023, i.e. 0.1304 euros, the
subscription price of one Convertible Bond of 0.15 euros represents
a premium of 15%.Amount of the offer: the total
amount of the offer amounts to 30 million euros, by issue of
200,000,000 Convertible Bonds.Revocation of subscription
orders: subscription orders are
irrevocable.Notifications to the subscribers of the
Convertible Bonds: the subscribers having placed
subscription orders on an irreducible basis are assured, subject to
the effective completion of the Offering, to receive the number of
Convertible Bonds they will have subscribed for within the
applicable deadlines. Subscribers who have placed orders to
subscribe for the Convertible Bonds on a reducible basis and within
the Public Offering will be informed of their allocation by their
financial intermediary.Subscription intent of the Company's
main shareholders or members of its administrative or management
bodies or of any other person intending to subscribe for more than
5%: Irata LLC (the “Irata”), a 27.73%
shareholder of the Company and held by Mr. Wade Rosen, has
irrevocably undertaken to subscribe to the Offering (the
“Subscription Commitment”) during the priority
subscription period of the offering of the Convertible Bonds, on an
irreducible basis, up to the amount of its stake in the Company's
share capital (i.e. a total number of 55,460,000 Convertible Bonds)
and on a reducible basis, up to the balance of the total amount of
the Offering not subscribed by it on an irreducible basis, i.e. up
to a maximum total amount (including issue premium) of 21,681,000
euros (i.e., up to 144,450,000 Convertible Bonds). Moreover, in the
event that at the end of the subscription period of the Offering,
the subscriptions do not represent 100% of the amount of the
Offering, Irata has irrevocably and unconditionally undertaken to
subscribe for the Convertible Bonds, which will have not been fully
paid by the subscribers, allowing for full subscription of this
threshold of 100% of the principal amount of this convertible bonds
offering, i.e. up to a maximum of 200,000,000 Convertible Bonds for
an amount of 30 million euros.The amount of the Subscription
Commitment will be paid, in priority, by way of set-off against
certain, determined in quantum and due debts that Irata holds on
the Company in respect of shareholders' loans previously granted,
for an aggregate amount of EUR 16,333,740.68 and the balance in
cash. All the debts arising from the Irata loans granted to the
Company will be cleared either by this subscription by way of debt
set-off, depending on the amount subscribed to Irata, or by the
proceeds of the Offering.In addition, Irata has agreed not to
convert the Convertible Bonds prior to 30 June 2025 (date on which
the triggering threshold for a mandatory public offering on the
Company's shares is raised from 30% to 50% of the shares and/or the
voting rights)1, provided that in the event of a tender offer on
Atari's securities filed by a third party prior to 30 June 2025,
Irata will have the option to convert its Convertible Bonds prior
to such date. As from 1 January 2024, Irata also retains the right
to convert its Convertible Bonds upon clearance by AMF (décision de
conformité) of a tender offer on the Company's securities filed by
Irata (or an affiliate).Countries in which the offer will
be open to the public: the Offering will be open to the
public only in France.Restrictions applicable to the
offering: the distribution of the Prospectus and the
subscription for the Convertible Bonds may, in certain countries,
in particular in the United States of America, the United Kingdom,

1 Atari has moved from a listing on the regulated market to a
listing on Euronext Growth on June 30, 2022. However, the threshold

therefore the 30% threshold remains applicable for three years
(i.e. until 30 June 2025).
