No, given the current regulatory and commercial environment, it would not be viable, feasible or appropriate for Atari, SA to attempt to simply recreate and launch the same type of token that was launched by the former joint venture.  These additional disclosures should make it clear that the new token is not meant to “replace” the ATRI token distributed by the former joint venture.

No, the opportunity for a grant of the new token is a voluntary action by Atari, SA to purchasers of the ATRI token and will be conducted in the sole discretion of Atari, SA.  Atari, SA did not control any systems or participate in day-to-day operations of the former joint venture.  As previously disclosed, Atari, SA has since severed all licenses to, and ownership in, such entity.

Atari, SA seeks to build a fun blockchain ecosystem where video games thrive.  To do this, Atari, SA seeks to engage the best, most loyal fans.  That includes purchasers of ATRI tokens.

Atari’s priority is to create a fun, engaging gaming ecosystem.  The distribution of the new token is designed to help make this a reality.  Atari, SA is planning to grant tokens to supporters of Atari that we believe will help us build that ecosystem.  That includes qualified ATRI holders in the snapshot who verified their holdings.  If a holder received ATRI tokens through means other than a purchase on the open market, including through a business transaction with the former joint venture, such holder should not use the online claims page but should contact Atari, SA legal, where such holder’s issues will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

You are likely still a qualified holder. We will facilitate a confirmation process to ensure you have the opportunity to confirm your eligibility. More information to come.

Atari, SA will work with its experts in developing formulas for the determination of the number of tokens for certain categories of ATRI holders and other grant recipients.
