EXHIBIT INDEX
99.1 Press release dated June 15, 2007
Exhibit 99.1
Cash Dividend Sequel to National Beverage NASDAQ Listing
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 15, 2007--National
Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:FIZZ):
"The Board today, further confirming its pledge to 'deliver' to
our shareholders, made its fifth distribution to investors in 38
months. Shareholders of record on July 20, 2007 shall be entitled to
receive $.80 per share payable on or before August 17, 2007. A 100%
stock dividend, another 20% stock dividend and three cash payments
that will total $114 million is certainly tantamount to the Board's
diligence," stated Nick A. Caporella, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer.
"This is truly commendable by any measure, especially should one
reflect on how and why National Beverage began its existence! More
significant than the financial payback to investor/owners of earnings
'retained'...is the 'earned' respect of our peers for our dynamic
creative and innovations within the soft drink industry," excitedly
exclaimed Caporella.
"We excel in a class of our own and have and will continue to set
the standard for others in the development of flavor-based beverages
in North America. This special 'flavor' significance follows true
across all segments of our business - soft drinks, juices, teas,
waters and energy drinks," Caporella concluded.
National Beverage is highly innovative, making it unique as a
pace-setter in the changing soft-drink industry. Its lineup of
refreshment products consisting of - Energy Drinks and Fortified
Powders, Vitamin Enhanced juices and waters, and new-to-come beverage
supplements are geared toward the lifestyle/health-conscious consumer.
Shasta(R) - Faygo(R) - Everfresh(R) and LaCroix(R) are aligned
with Rip It(R) and FREEK(TM) energy products to make National
Beverage...America's Flavor-Favorite - soft-drink company.
Fun, Flavor and Vitality...the National Beverage Way
