ATARI INTENDS TO ACQUIRE REMAINING 18% STAKE IN THUNDERFUL GROUP, AND REQUEST FOR ITS DELISTING FROM NASDAQ FIRST NORTH GROWTH MARKET IN STOCKHOLM

PARIS, FRANCE (December 19, 2025 - 8.00 am CET) -Atari® (Euronext Growth Paris: ALATA) — one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — today announces its investment in Thunderful Group AB (publ) (“Thunderful”) through a directed share issue in cash subject to approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting in Thunderful which, if approved, will result in Atari owning 90.2% of the capital of Thunderful (the “Directed Share Issue”). Following completion of the Directed Share Issue, Atari will request the delisting of the shares of Thunderful from Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm and, following delisting, submit an offer to acquire the remaining minority shareholders' shares. Atari will also request to initiate a compulsory redemption procedure under Chapter 22 of the Swedish Companies Act, resulting in Atari holding 100% ownership of Thunderful (collectively, the “Transaction”).

Wade Rosen, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer commented:This Transaction marks another important milestone in Atari's multi-year transformation plan. Since our initial investment in August 2025, both the Atari and Thunderful teams have been working closely together, and bringing Thunderful into the Atari network is the next natural step. We look forward to working with Thunderful's talented teams to further develop Atari operations in Europe and bring Thunderful to a sustainable growth path.

THE DIRECTED SHARE ISSUE

The Board of Directors of Thunderful has, subject to approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting in Thunderful to be held on 26 January 2026, resolved on the Directed Share Issue to Atari for an amount of SEK 35 million (approximately USD 3.8 million[1]).

Provided that the Directed Share Issue is approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, a total of 350 million new shares will be issued in Thunderful, corresponding to approximately 86% of the total number of shares outstanding in Thunderful before the Directed Share Issue. The shares will be issued at a subscription price of SEK 0.10 per share, which represents a discount of 46% compared to the closing price of SEK 0.1865 on 18 December 2025.

Following completion of the Directed Share Issue, Atari will hold approximately 683 million shares in Thunderful, corresponding to approximately 90.2% of the share capital and votes and request that the Board of Directors of Thunderful apply for delisting of Thunderful's shares from Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm.

OFFER TO ACQUIRE REMAINING MINORITY SHARES IN THUNDERFUL

Following, and subject to, a delisting of the shares of Thunderful from Nasdaq First North Growth Market, Atari will offer to acquire all shares in Thunderful not already held by Atari at an offering price of SEK 0.30 per share (the “Offer”). This offering price corresponds to a premium of approximately 61% compared to the closing price of Thunderful shares of SEK 0.1865 on 18 December 2025, and a premium of 100% compared to the price per share paid by Atari in Thunderful's directed share issue carried out on 29 August 2025.

Additional information on how minority shareholders should proceed to accept the Offer from Atari will be published by Atari and Thunderful in due course.

REDEMPTION PROCEDURE

Atari will request to initiate a compulsory redemption procedure under Chapter 22 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen) for purposes of acquiring all remaining minority shares, with a requested redemption amount of SEK 0.30 per share (i.e., same price as in the Offer). The redemption procedure will result in Atari holding 100% of the shares in Thunderful.

The Transaction will be financed either with Atari's own resources or with a potential new loan agreement with IRATA LLC, the holding Company of Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari, SA.
