ATOUT CAPITAL advised and supported ATARI in the implementation of its fund raising of 4.9 M€. The operation was proven highly successful with both institutions and individuals, with a subscription rate of over 160% which enabled the extension clause by the Board.

The aim of this fund raising is firstly, to consolidate the deleveraging of ATARI following the agreement made with ALDEN during the month of July 2016 and secondly, to finance its development.
