Eat at Joe's Announces Launch of New Strategic Initiatives With Application for Name Change and New Ticker Symbol

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - March 09, 2015) - Eat at Joe's, Ltd. (OTCQB: JOES), a holding company with wholly-owned subsidiaries in the digital publishing and advertising industry and in the food service industry, announced today that it filed the requisite paperwork with FINRA to change its name to "SPYR, Inc." and requested that its ticker symbol be changed to "SPYR."

According to company CEO & President, James R. Thompson: "After a great deal of thought, and consideration and analysis of many factors, with the help of our award-winning outside brand development and marketing firm COHN, we selected SPYR from among numerous choices as being the name that best fits our current business model and corporate strategy."  

"It is strong, bold and strategic; the embodiment of the Company's new management, direction and corporate image," said Thompson.

Thompson further explained, "A play on the word 'spire,' meaning 'the highest point or summit of something' and, in the context of a building, a structure that is always on top, the name SPYR clearly indicates to the marketplace where we intend to go: to the top of our industry; namely, the multi-billion dollar digital media and advertising industry.  InSPYRation clicks!" 

Once the process is completed and FINRA approval is obtained, the Company will inform its current shareholders and the investment community when the name change and new ticker symbol will become effective.
