Atari is reorganising its workforce's general and administrative functions.

The reorganisation plan reduces Atari's total workforce by approximately 20%, which includes a reduction of administrative workforce of approximately 26%. The plan was approved by the board of directors on April 10, 2007 and communication to employees was completed on April 30, 2007. The company anticipates the workforce reductions to be completed by July 31, and will record a restructuring charge during fiscal 2008 of approximately US$0.8 million to $1.1 million.

"We expect that today's reorganisation will continue to reduce Atari's general and administrative cost," stated David Pierce, President and Chief Executive Office of Atari, Inc. "These actions, though difficult, are a significant first step in reorganising Atari and demonstrate our commitment to restoring shareholder value."
