This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Schedule 13D filed on March 11, 2008 (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Atari, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Common Stock to which this Amendment No. 1 relates is held directly by California U.S. Holdings (“CUSH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Infogrames Entertainment S.A. (“Infogrames”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.
 
Except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.
 
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following paragraphs:
 
In March 2008, Infogrames effected a reverse stock split pursuant to which 100 old shares with a nominal value of 0.1 Euro were exchanged for 1 new share with a nominal value of 1 Euro.
 
From February 29, 2008 through April 30, 2008, the Reporting Persons acquired 365,013 additional shares of Infogrames in a number of market transactions, which are set forth below:

The BlueBay Funds are eligible to redeem certain warrants and convert convertible bonds into shares of Infogrames, whereby, upon redemption and exercise of the stock warrants, the BlueBay Funds could collectively hold 17,196,172 shares of common stock of Infogrames, representing approximately 54.9% of the outstanding stock (on a fully diluted basis). The Reporting Persons thereby may be deemed pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Act to be beneficial owners of the Issuer’s securities held by Infogrames. The BlueBay Funds have not, and do not at this time intend to exercise such warrants and convert such bonds into shares of common stock of Infogrames. The potential percentage share ownership of Infogrames by the BlueBay Funds on a fully diluted basis decreased from the previously disclosed percentage ownership in the Schedule 13D filing due to the grant of restricted shares and/or stock options to members of the management team and to the chairman of the board of Infogrames.
 
On April 30, 2008, Infogrames, Irata Acquisition Corp. (the “Merger Sub”), a newly formed Delaware corporation wholly owned by CUSH, and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is attached to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2008 (the “Issuer Current Report”) as Exhibit 2.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Issuer will become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Infogrames.
 
At the effective time of the Merger, all shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock then outstanding (other than shares owned by Infogrames and shares as to which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised) will be converted into the right to receive $1.68 per share in cash.
 
Infogrames and the Issuer have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others: (i) covenants generally requiring the Issuer to conduct its business prior to the closing of the Merger in the ordinary course consistent with past practice; (ii) subject to the right of the Issuer’s board of directors to exercise its fiduciary duties, covenants restricting the solicitation of competing acquisition proposals; and (iii) covenants relating to the holding of a meeting of Issuer stockholders to vote upon the Merger and approval of the Merger Agreement notwithstanding that Infogrames owns a majority of the Issuer Common Stock sufficient to approve the Merger. There is no financing condition.
 
The Issuer’s board of directors approved the Merger Agreement and recommended that the Issuer’s stockholders vote in favor of the Merger Agreement. The Issuer expects to call a special meeting of shareholders to consider the Merger Agreement in the third calendar quarter of 2008 and expects to complete the transaction in the same quarter. Because Infogrames controls a majority of the Issuer’s outstanding shares, Infogrames has the power to approve the transaction without the approval of the Issuer’s other shareholders.
 
Under the Merger Agreement, each of the Issuer and Infogrames has certain rights to terminate the Merger Agreement and the Merger, including upon recommendation by the Issuer’s board of directors of a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Upon the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to specified circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement, including upon such a change in recommendation, the Issuer must pay Infogrames a termination fee of $450,000.

In addition to entering into the Merger Agreement, on April 30, 2008, the Issuer and Infogrames entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Infogrames Credit Agreement”), a copy of which is attached to the Issuer Current Report as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference. The Infogrames Credit Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Infogrames Credit Agreement, Infogrames will loan up to $20 million to the Issuer for working capital purposes through September 30, 2008. The material terms of the Infogrames Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those of the Issuer Credit Facility.
 
Borrowings under the Infogrames Credit Agreement will bear an interest rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 7% per year and mature on the earlier of December 31, 2008 or the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to specified circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Issuer may prepay borrowings on a voluntary basis at any time without penalty subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below). The Issuer must prepay borrowings in an amount equal to (a) any net proceeds it receives as a result of incurring any indebtedness not permitted under the Infogrames Credit Agreement, (b) any net proceeds it receives from certain dispositions and from its sale of equity interests in itself or equity interests in its subsidiaries, (c) under certain circumstances, any net proceeds it receives as a result of a casualty or condemnation, and (d) at the end of each month, the amount by which the Issuer’s cash receipts exceeded its cash disbursements during the most recently ended four week budget period.
 
The Issuer’s obligations under the Infogrames Credit Agreement and related loan documents are secured by liens on substantially all of the Issuer’s assets. A condition precedent to any borrowings under the Infogrames Credit Agreement is the Merger Agreement remaining in effect. The Infogrames Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including compliance with the Issuer’s budget, subject to permitted variances. Events of Default under the Infogrames Credit Agreement include any failure of the Issuer to comply with its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Issuer Credit Facility.
 
Infogrames’ rights under the Infogrames Credit Agreement are subject to the terms of the Temporary Liquidity Facility Intercreditor Agreement dated as of April 30, 2008 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, Infogrames and BlueBay HY, as Agent for the lenders party to the Issuer Credit Facility. A copy of the Intercreditor Agreement is attached to the Issuer Current Report as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Intercreditor Agreement requires Infogrames to refrain from exercising its rights and remedies as to its collateral for a period of 270 days (provided that, in any event, Infogrames may not exercise such rights or remedies while BlueBay HY is exercising its rights and remedies as to the collateral) and prohibits the amendment of the Infogrames Credit Agreement and related loan documents without BlueBay HY’s consent.
 
Prior to a default under the Infogrames Credit Agreement or the Issuer Credit Facility, Infogrames will have the right to receive the excess cash flow that otherwise would be payable by the Issuer to BlueBay HY, up to $10 million; thereafter, Infogrames and BlueBay HY will be paid on a pari passu basis. In the event of a default, Infogrames and BlueBay HY would share any recovery from the collateral or otherwise on a pari passu basis up to the amount of $10 million to Infogrames and $14 million to BlueBay HY. The second $10 million owed to Infogrames is subordinated to the BlueBay HY debt.
 
To permit the signing of the Merger Agreement and the establishment of the Infogrames Credit Agreement, the Issuer entered into a Waiver, Consent and Fourth Amendment, dated as of April 30, 2008 (the “Fourth Credit Facility Amendment”) to the Issuer Credit Facility, among the Issuer, the lenders party thereto and BlueBay HY as administrative agent. Under the Fourth Credit Facility Amendment, among other things, (i) the lenders agreed to waive the Issuer’s non-compliance with certain representations and covenants under the Issuer Credit Facility, (ii) the lenders agreed to consent to the Issuer’s entering into the Infogrames Credit Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and (iii) the lenders and the Issuer agreed to certain amendments to the Issuer Credit Facility with respect to the Intercreditor Agreement described above.
 
The description contained in this Item 4 of certain terms of the Merger Agreement, Infogrames Credit Agreement and Intercreditor Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) and the transactions contemplated by each of the Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full texts thereof, copies of which are attached to the Issuer Current Report as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively and which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
6


The Agreements have been incorporated by reference to provide investors and security holders with information regarding their respective terms and conditions and are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Issuer or the Reporting Persons. The Agreements contain representations and warranties that the parties thereto made to and solely for the benefit of each other. The assertions embodied in the Issuer’s representations and warranties are also qualified by information contained in its confidential disclosure schedules delivered in connection with the signing of certain of the Agreements. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of the respective dates of the Agreements and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the respective dates thereof, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Issuer’s public disclosures.
 
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
 
Item 5 is hereby amended to add the following paragraphs:
 
(a) If the Merger is effected as provided in the above described Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) to have beneficial ownership of 100% of shares of the Issuer.
 
(b) If the Merger is effected as provided in the above described Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) to have beneficial ownership of 100% of shares of the Issuer as to which there is a shared power to vote and a shared power to dispose.

Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 30, 2008, by and among Atari, Inc., Infogrames Entertainment S.A. and Irata Acquisition Corp., incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 30, 2008 and filed on May 5, 2008.
