DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - March 13, 2015) - SPYR, Inc., f/k/a/ Eat at Joe's, Ltd. (OTCQB: SPYR), a holding company with wholly-owned subsidiaries in the digital publishing and advertising industry and in the food service industry, today summarized the accomplishments of the Company's new management team since February 1, 2015.

Company CEO, President & General Counsel, James R. Thompson outlined the Company's accomplishments during its first month under new management, as follows:

  • We closed on our first acquisition of a digital publishing and advertising firm, Franklin Networks, Inc. ("FNI"), which included eight (8) operating and revenue generating website assets.  FNI now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
  • We made an important addition to the Company's management team by bringing on Jennifer D. Duettra, Esq., a Harvard Law Graduate, as Executive Vice President and Assistant General Counsel.
  • We retained COHN, an award-winning integrated branding firm, to lead the development of our brand and communications strategy.
  • We made and strengthened the Company's digital media management team by bringing on Mark McGarrity as Chief Information Officer.  McGarrity, formerly the Chief Executive Officer of FNI, will lead the continued growth of the Company's digital operations by continuing to develop the Company's existing assets and by assisting existing management with the identification and evaluation of future asset acquisition opportunities.
  • We entered into a lease for office space that will be the Company's new corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado.  We are currently occupying temporary space in the same building as our leased premises while the tenant improvement work is being performed in our leased premises.  The Company will formally change its corporate headquarters to this location when our leased premises are ready for occupancy.
  • We selected a new corporate name, SPYR, Inc., and image and completed the name change process to better reflect our current business model and corporate strategy of growth and success.
  • We applied for and received regulatory approval of a corporate name change and new ticker symbol: SPYR.

"In the coming weeks, I will begin to more clearly explain the Company's direction and strategy for what we expect will be rapid growth," concluded Mr. Thompson.
