New name, new symbol: biz.yahoo.com Tuesday March 26, 8:13 pm Eastern Time Right Start changes name to FAO Inc. KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., March 26 (Reuters) - Right Start Inc. (NasdaqNM:RTST - news) on Tuesday said it has changed its name to FAO Inc., leveraging the brand equity of the FAO Schwarz toy store name, following approval by shareholders at a special meeting. Educational products retailer Right Start bought the assets of fellow children's products retailer Zany Brainy Inc. in September 2001, and followed that purchase with its acquisition of certain assets of well-known toy retailer FAO Schwarz in January 2002. At the special meeting, the conversion feature of the preferred stock the company issued to acquire assets of Zany Brainy Inc. and FAO Schwarz were also approved. The company's plan to reincorporate in Delaware from California was also approved, it said in a statement. The company said it no longer has any preferred stock outstanding due to the conversion. FAO said it plans to change its ticker symbol to ``FAOO'' from ``RTST'' on April 18. The company also said it will have headquarters in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
