New York - Video game publisher Atari (NASD: ATAR), which last week agreed to merge with its major shareholder, France-based Infogrames, announced on Friday that the Nasdaq has delisted its shares, effective today.

The company plans to request a review from the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, but this action will not delay the suspension of trading of its shares, which the company expects will now be quoted on the Pink Sheets or OTC Bulletin Board.

Atari said it believes its delisting from the Nasdaq will not affect its pending merger transaction with Infogrames.
