Edward Minnema Joins Avatar Venture Corp as President and CEO
CARSON CITY, NV--(Marketwired - Oct 15, 2013) - Avatar Ventures Corp. (OTC Pink: ATAR) ("Avatar Ventures," "ATAR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has appointed Mr. Edward Minnema, as President, CEO and Director of the Company.

Mr. Minnema is well known in the business community and has developed many contacts throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East and in the Caribbean. He has extensive connections in the high tech, mining and retail sectors of the economy. Mr. Minnema has been brought on to assist the Company in seeking out new and profitable business opportunities to enhance the Company and thereby increase shareholder value. Mr. Minnema has over the years run successful private businesses and has served in various capacities for numerous public companies.

Mr. Minnema commented, "I am looking forward to working from the ground floor and am confident that I will bring value to ATAR and its present and future shareholders. Despite the challenges the North American economy faces in many traditional areas of business, there are currently many exciting opportunities in the high tech sector that a public company such as ours, with a very advantageous share structure, may use to leverage those opportunities to benefit all. I would like to thank former management for stepping down so that I may lead the company in a new direction."

[hold23]

what is this? another name change?

[MJames89]

Down 25% on promotion day.

That's always a sign of good things to come. They can't even do a pump n dump right lol

[retiredanalyst]

I was looking into ATAR and as you can see from this link, the company's "office" is located at 27281 Las Ramblas, Suite 200, Mission Viejo, CA 92691.

http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/ATAR/company-info

Funny thing is that Suite 200 at this address is a place called, Davinci Virtual Office Solutions. Oh yes, nothing like a virtual office.

Another fact is that the new symbol ATAR is nothing more than the company AVVC with a new stock symbol. And interestingly enough the company has been in business for more than 6 years, and over the past 6 plus years the company has had a grand total of $0 in sales. The company has never generated even a single penny in revenues...none. Finally if you check the most recent Quarterly Report at otcmarkets.com, you'll notice the company had just $49 in cash on it's balance sheet. Sad but true. The reality folks is ATAR is little more than a empty shell company with a virtual office.

[retiredanalyst]

ATAR is the AVVC scam reincarnated. Same scam company, new symbol FYI.

[SchragerTrader23]

Thanks for that clarification my friend

ATAR

[SchragerTrader23]

Small dip in price today, nothing to be worried about IMO

ATAR

[alien42]

do you realize that Atari is no longer a publicly traded company?

ATAR is the trading symbol for Avatar Ventures Corp, which is reflected in the PR you posted this morning.

[SchragerTrader23]

[SchragerTrader23]

Nice news out for ATAR: http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=54636209

[alien42]

it appears that Infogrames was a 50% shareholder and bought Atari out for $11m in early May 2008 (explains current $22m market cap). the stock was then delisted from the Nasdaq and moved to the pinks.

[alien42]

i remember opening my Atari 2600 when i was around 4. from that revolution to the iPhone in 30 years. unfortunately it appears Atari has become a ghost of its former self trading on the pinks.

Atari is still a worldwide recognized brand which has the potential to return to its past glory days with the right people.

[javi2003]

hopely in time atari will not be alone in the dark.

Atari, Inc. Receives Staff Determination Letter from Nasdaq
-Common Stock Subject to Delisting-
-Atari, Inc. Intends to Initiate Appeal Process-
NEW YORK, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATAR), an interactive entertainment company, announced today that on March 24, 2008 it received a Staff Determination Letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department stating that Atari, Inc. has not gained compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(3), and that its securities are therefore subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market.

As previously announced, on December 21, 2007, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notified Atari, Inc. that, pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(1), unless the market value of Atari, Inc.'s publicly held shares (which is calculated by reference to Atari, Inc.'s total shares outstanding, less any shares held by officers, directors or beneficial owners of 10% or more) maintains an aggregate market value of $15.0 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to March 20, 2008, Atari, Inc.'s securities would be subject to delisting. The value of Atari, Inc.'s publicly held shares did not reach that level within the required period. Atari, Inc. intends to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel in order to appeal the Nasdaq Staff's determination in light of, among other things, the pending proposal by Infogrames Entertainment SA (IESA) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock not held by IESA. The hearing request will stay the delisting and, as a result, Atari, Inc.'s securities will remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the Panel issues its decision following the hearing. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant Atari, Inc.'s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market.
