New Issue: Atari places only €5 million of planned €16 million 7.5% Oceanes

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Feb. 20 – Atari SA announced that investors subscribed for €5 million of its 7.5% convertible bonds in the Oceane structure due 2020.

The offering had an initial size of €16 million and included a €2.4 million greenshoe, as announced on Dec. 15. The subscription period ran through Feb. 12.

The Oceanes were sold at €0.35 apiece.

As of Thursday, the breakdown of the orders is as follows: €1.2 million from the public, €50,000 from Ker Ventures and €3.8 million from California US Holdings, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atari.

On Friday, the company announced that following a 48-hour withdrawal period ending Feb. 18 at midnight, the amount of subscriptions settled in cash came to €1.17 million.

According to the bonds’ prospectus, the issuer hosts a two-day withdrawal period if the offering is less than 75% subscribed (less than €12 million).

Proceeds will be used to help refinance the company’s €11 million Alden loan, which is set to mature on Sept. 30, 2015.

Atari is a Paris entertainment and licensing company.
