Atari Moves to Take Full Control of Thunderful and Pursue Delisting Atari on December 19, 2025 announced plans to acquire a further 18% stake in Swedish digital games publisher Thunderful Group AB through a directed share issue, increasing its ownership to 90.2% pending shareholder approval. The SEK 35 million share issuance, subject to approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 26 January 2026, involves 350 million new shares priced at SEK 0.10 per share, a 46% discount to the 18 December 2025 closing price. Upon completion, Atari will seek to delist Thunderful from Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm. This transaction follows Atari's initial investment in August 2025 and supports its multi-year transformation strategy. After delisting of Thunderful's shares, Atari will launch an offer to acquire all remaining shares at SEK0.30 per share, representing a 61% premium to the 18 December 2025 closing price and a 100% premium to the August 2025 directed share issue price. Atari will also initiate a compulsory redemption procedure under the Swedish Companies Act to reach full ownership. The redemption price will match the offer price of SEK 0.30 per share. The transaction will be financed using Atari's own resources or a potential new loan from IRATA LLC, the holding company of Atari chairman and CEO Wade Rosen. New Risk • Nov 17
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 66% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-kr112m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 66% per year over the past 5 years.
