Undiscovered... E-Pub News (Uproar) Back again with some news about Uproar.com. I mentioned this stock last month and thought I would bring you up to date on a few changes. I still believe this is a good opportunity to get in before an internet IPO. Here is the news but read the comments at the end. I posted this on the SI Uproar thread but since I am the only one there I thought I would spread it around in another place. E-Pub (Holdings) Ltd. Changes Name to Uproar Ltd. Monday April 5, 7:30 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Uproar Ltd. LONDON, April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- E-Pub (Holdings) Ltd., producer of the Uproar.com entertainment site, today announced that it has officially changed its name to Uproar Ltd. ''Uproar has been a phenomenal success as a product and brand. Merging the company name and brand name makes it easier for both consumers and potential investors to understand who we are and what we do,'' Uproar CEO Michael Simon said. Uproar game shows and entertainment are available in 11 languages, serving 16 national markets. The name change allows the company to focus its efforts on building the Uproar brand worldwide. About Uproar Two million registered users and millions of additional guests visit Uproar and its affiliated sites each month to participate as contestants in online game shows, play arcade games, enjoy humor, and solve puzzles. All Uproar properties are supported by advertising and licensing models. As part of Uproar's affiliate program, thousands of sites worldwide attract and retain visitors by running syndicated versions of Uproar's game shows. Founded in 1996 by CEO Michael Simon, Uproar is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and has offices in New York, London, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Budapest. SOURCE: Uproar Ltd. biz.yahoo.com Note: The encouraging thing about this name change (besides branding) is that we knew about this earlier(read about it in earlier posts). The company stated intent to change the name and it happened. Now about that intent to list on NASDAQ... It's coming. Would be nice to get the actual press release but I can't seem to locate it. I was informed about this press release by an investor that goes by HEK. He is the main poster on this site: investorville.com There is other news today but I can't seem to locate the URL. In an Austrian paper they stated that E-Pub shares are to split 27:1. Sorry no link for that. I guess I will find out about that one through my brokerage. If the split info is correct then note that this is another indicator that the stock may come to NASDAQ. In European countries they don't split shares like in the US. Therefore why split unless you are coming to the US. Just another indicator that things are falling into place. Dave
