I'm playing the percentages on this and guessing that this will run at the open tomorrow. People that sold out today, might just want back in. Also if you look at the chart, when this has been closing going up, it has run the following day.
The final fifteen minutes of trading today are crucial.

Coca-Cola Enterprises Acquires Options to Purchase Bravo! Foods` Common Stock
July 14, 2005 08:01:35 (ET)
NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla., July 14, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Bravo! Foods International Corp. (BRVO, Trade), a brand development and marketing company that manufactures, promotes and distributes vitamin- fortified, flavored milks, announced today that Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. has acquired options to purchase shares of common stock, convertible securities and warrants, entitling Coca-Cola Enterprises to purchase approximately 69,000,000 shares of common stock from 12 shareholders of Bravo! Foods International Corp. (the "Options").
The common stock and other securities underlying the Options represent approximately 23% of the authorized shares of the Company's common stock.
In connection with the grant of the Options, the Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises are negotiating a master distribution agreement for the sale of Bravo! Foods' products in the United States and its possessions, and internationally in Canada, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco and the Netherlands. The exercise of the Options by Coca-Cola Enterprises is contingent on the completion of due diligence and the execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive master distribution agreement.
Coca-Cola Enterprises has the right to acquire the Company's common stock pursuant to the Options from the entities granting the Options for $0.36 per share. None of the entities granting the Options are affiliates of Bravo! Foods.
In addition, Coca-Cola Enterprises and Bravo! Foods have commenced negotiations regarding a stock purchase agreement for the direct sale of approximately 81 million shares of Bravo! Foods' common stock to Coca-Cola Enterprises. With such a direct purchase of common stock from Bravo! Foods, together with the shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Options, Coca-Cola Enterprises will hold slightly in excess of 50% of the Company's equity on a fully diluted basis.
The Company's Board of Directors has formed an independent Committee of the Board to assist in the negotiations with Coca-Cola Enterprises, and has authorized the Committee to retain an independent banker to evaluate the fairness of the transaction.
The transaction is contingent upon the execution of a distribution agreement, a stock purchase agreement and receipt of an appropriate fairness opinion as to the transaction.
Posted by Krysten911 on :
OK So I have a few technical expertise lack fo experience questions. Are all of us that buy individual equities considered owners of common stock of a company? Does this therefore mean that Coca Cola is buying each of us out at .36? If this is the case, I would think that is too bad, because in the long run I would think that having Coca Cola as a major shareholder would increase the value of the stock making some money for us "commoners". Sucks how we little people can get ousted at the drop of a hat like that if this is the case.

Glad I sold yesterday. It may come down to .4 or so, The price that Coke paid for it.
Posted by George on :
Come on Peaser. That is not true. It is recovering now. It was people selling that thought the same thing. Coke has options to buy at .36cents. That is not the value of the stock. I think that is why it dropped yesterday was people that did not understand. They are buying options from 12 shareholders. These share holder hold more than what they are selling. It is part of a package to give coke the ability to take over. They also have to buy 81mil shares on the market to make it work. The price should go up.

CCE TO BUY MAJORITY STAKE IN FLAVORED MILK MAKER Coca-Cola's biggest bottler is getting into milk. Coca-Cola Enterprises announced plans Thursday to spend $38 million to acquire a majority stake in Bravo Foods International, a little company that makes flavored milk drinks called Slammers.
Both Coke and CCE are eager to expand into new niches, as consumption of carbonated soft drinks declines. The Coke system so far has had little success in dairy in the United States. Coke has previously launched flavored milk-based beverages Choglit and Swerve --- neither of which made much of a splash.
Bravo's hook is to strike licensing deals with well-known brands. Its Slammers drinks feature Marvel comics superheroes like Spider-Man, as well as skateboarding stars and other well-known food brands such as Moon Pie and Starburst.
The flavored milk niche is small but growing. Flavored milk sales grew 10.2 percent in 2004, even as the overall milk category slipped 1.2 percent, according to the Department of Agriculture. The flavored milk category includes regular milk that has to be refrigerated, as well as products like Slammers that are milk-based but don't have to refrigerated.
CCE disclosed Thursday that it intends to acquire a stake in Bravo of just more than 50 percent. CCE also is negotiating with Bravo's management team for master distribution rights for the company's products.
The deal is unique because the bottler itself, not big brother Coca-Cola, is poised to be the buyer of a brand. The normal pattern is for Coke to do the buying, or for CCE and Coke to combine on a deal. Coke could potentially still end up involved before the deal closes.
Coke spokesman Dan Schafer declined to say whether Coke could eventually be involved, but noted the company still finds the milk category appealing.
"As a system, we have long expressed interest in the milk category," he said.
John Downs, senior vice president for public affairs and communications at CCE, said the company did the deal on its own partly to make it happen more quickly. "We were presented with this, and we wanted to move quickly, and right now, it is more of a distribution opportunity than a brand opportunity," he said.
Bravo, based in North Palm Beach, Fla., distributes its products in the United States and in a handful of international markets. Domestically, drinks are sold at retailers including SuperTarget, A&P and 7-Eleven. Bravo, a public company that trades over the counter, has given guidance that it expects revenue of $13 million to $15 million this year.

George, best post, I have seen you post. [ about options ]
I can only press this point home to people...
"Understand options" before you make a pre-mature decision..
Mistakes are being made by people who don't understand what is going on here.
Myself, I need to do some " option work "
This is the classic " what you don't know can hurt ya"
Is it the devil is in the details, or the Saint?
I just don't know yet.
peaser just missed the option play..Nothing sinister! hehe
Thats what happens when we jump to fast on news without carefully reading the details.

I am doubting that BRVO will dip below 2x the options price. The .4 I admit is way off. I got a bit carried away after thinking about it. The amount of outstanding shares kind of made me squiddish after finding out how many shares Coke was looking to obtain and how many there actually are.
My main concern as of now is what are they going to do to bring the total shares down? BRVO is a solid BB I believe. It will be an even more solid company once off the OTCBB's.
Posted by Dustoff101 on :
pesear, I'm sure you meant A/S as well as O/S.
This dern stock can give a fella a hell of a headache.
The way I read it, the A/S is where the options play is.

I had to buy back in at .93
Posted by Peaser01 on :
I guess people haven't seen this latest PR yet. This puppy is a great long. The PR states that they are getting more orders for their Slammer's product as the stores are selling Slammer's. The re-orders from stores are great for the future.
I wonder if this could run like CAFE? That could be great. BRVO looks to me like a CAFE and CAFEW(the options play)? What is going on here?
I wonder if people here are still confused on the Coke buying the BRVO options. Thanks to Geo for clearing up the options play a few days ago.

Shelf space being taken up by Slammers is a good thing. Stores only carry winners as shelf space is very valuable to them.

Posted by maumee river rat on :
If this doesn't hold at these levels, I'm afread we will be seein the .6 area....maybe a little consolidation there and then a shot at the high side... Not set in stone ... It is just what the charts look like to me.. a week or so should tell.. lets see..

I'd sure like to see an earnings report.

This is #1 headache stock, just will not run in the right direction!

Check out the current size of the bid. Hmm. Could this start moving up?
I see GNET 50k at .87

Coming up off the low.

It's starting to move.
Posted by roachkiller1 on :
I live in detroit, michigan. I am in the grocery business. The milk slammers were not a hit when the first hit the shelves but the have been moving very good lately. I think this will help move bravom to the next step.
Posted by Peaser01 on :
I only wish I had more available cash to purchase more at these levels.
Posted by George on :
I may play it again. Should make it back to the 1.20 range now that the coke take over news has settled.
Posted by Peaser01 on :
Might see $1 by Monday.
Posted by Peaser01 on :
My guess is that BRVO may have come off the SHO list today.
Posted by Peaser01 on :
The people shorting BRVO might just be sorry that they are.
Here's my thoughts. Bravo! is following it's daily trend for climbing in PPS. It sells off in the early a.m., then it climbs slow and steady throughout the day.
My thought are that it's not gonna fall below .85 again.
Posted by blueranger on :
after hours today coke announced it owns about 50% of the stock and is aquiring the remainder..
so i am betting that this thing gaps opens and runs to 2 bucks.....

Bravo! Brands (UK) Ltd. Ships to J Sainsbury Wednesday July 27, 8:47 am ET
- Slammers® Now Available in More Than 200 Sainsbury Stores - NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ Bravo! Foods International Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: BRVO - News), a brand development and marketing company that manufactures, promotes and distributes vitamin- fortified, flavoured milks, announced today that Bravo! Brands (UK) Ltd, its wholly-owned United Kingdom subsidiary, has successfully launched its flavoured milk line in the United Kingdom with the shipment of three flavours of its popular Slammers® milk drinks to J Sainsbury, a leading UK retailer.
Drinks Brokers Ltd, Bravo's exclusive sales agent in the United Kingdom, has been retained to launch an all-out, heroic attack on the UK's flavoured milk sector with a great-tasting range of low-fat Slammers®. Major UK retailer J Sainsbury has started the roll out Slammers® in 220 of its stores this month.
Bravo!'s innovative Slammers® in the UK comprise three delicious flavoured milk drinks fortified with vitamins. Slammers® are now available in Amazing Chocolate, Cosmic Strawberry and Xtreme Banana varieties. Packaged in 250ml Prisma packs that are perfect for school lunchboxes, Slammers® are healthy UHT vitamin-enriched low-fat flavoured milk drinks that have a nine- month shelf life and can be sold from the chiller or as an ambient product off the shelf. Retailers in the UK are offering Slammers® at around 59p.
"Slammers' international brand strategy is being well executed and has received positive feedback from retailers throughout the region. We are certainly encouraged with the acceptance of Slammers in the UK market and have worked hard in meeting local needs for a nutritious, great tasting flavored milk with our international brand," said Ibrahim Ashemimry, Chief Operating Officer, Bravo Brands International.
Slammers® already are established as an award-winning brand in the US, where the drinks are produced by Florida-based Bravo! Foods International Corp. The company has secured licensing rights from Marvel Enterprises® to package its products with its world-famous characters and has appointed Drinks Brokers Ltd to handle UK sales and marketing of Slammers®.
"With only 1.7g fat per 100ml, Slammers are the natural choice for kids and mums while providing retailers with healthy sales and profit margins," said David Diggens, Director of Drink Brokers. "We really do have a 'marvellous' new product to offer the trade and the support packaging has been well received in the UK marketplace by retailers and consumers alike."
Slammers® will benefit from a strong advertising and promotional support campaign throughout the United Kingdom, including a major nationwide sampling programme, eye-catching point-of-sale material and in-store events.

How can this not run big???? This company will make in the 10's of million im sure with these drinks.
Kids will buy them, and they taste very good. I have had them.
Any views on what the coke deal will mean for this stock? What would a merger mean for Bravo shareholders?
Posted by Murnak on :
Tough question...without coke we should get to $3 maybe $5 just a matter of when.imo
Posted by Lawguns on :
Well, when coke said last week that they were going to buy the stock the price plunged to .85 which is where I got in. SO I really can't figure out this one. I would have thought that it would have bootsted the price but it did not.
Posted by NiceRack on :
So how is it good that COKE wants to buy the shares for .25 cents when it is at .95 cents. I would think that news would not be good????
Posted by Peaser01 on :
I feel that people may be hesitant to buy as this is on the SHO list.
It's only a matter of time.
Posted by NiceRack on :
What is the SHO list??
Posted by SBLACK on :
As defined in Rule 203(c)(6) of Regulation SHO, a “threshold security” is any equity security of any issuer that is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or that is required to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (commonly referred to as reporting securities), where, for five consecutive settlement days:
There are aggregate fails to deliver at a registered clearing agency of 10,000 shares or more per security;
The level of fails is equal to at least one-half of one percent of the issuer’s total shares outstanding; and
The security is included on a list published by a self-regulatory organization (SRO).
A security ceases to be a threshold security if it does not exceed the specified level of fails for five consecutive settlement days.
Posted by <golfman> on :
It would have to be worth more than $5 if they keep selling so much.
What are the other stocks in the beverage business selling for? They gotta be selling for more then a $1
Coke should offer me $30 per share. I will take $25 though.

No. No channel comments on OTC stocks for some reason. Must be a written law someplace we don't know about that you can't mention OTC stocks on air.
They will be forced to comment though this time if COKE has a deal with them and someone ask about COke and Bravo.

Bravo! Foods Signs Exclusive, Multi-Year Distribution Agreement With Coca-Cola Enterprises Wednesday August 31, 8:28 am ET
NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bravo! Foods International Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: BRVO - News), a brand development and marketing company that manufactures, promotes and distributes vitamin- fortified flavored milks, announced today that it has signed an exclusive, 10-year distribution agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), the world's largest marketer, distributor, and producer of bottle and can liquid nonalcoholic refreshments. ADVERTISEMENT
Coca-Cola Enterprises will begin distribution of Bravo!'s Slammers® in the fourth quarter of 2005 and initially carry eight SKUs, including Bravo!'s Slim Slammers®, Pro-Slammers(TM), 3 Musketeers® Slammers®, Starburst® Slammers® and Milky Way® Slammers®. Bravo!'s Slammers® will be distributed nationwide through specific channels including, convenience retail, education, vending and small independent stores.
As part of the agreement, Bravo! will grant CCE 30 million warrants that are exercisable at $.36 cents per share. These warrants, if exercised within three years, provide CCE the opportunity to become a minority shareholder in Bravo!, entitling CCE to acquire 10% of Bravo's total authorized shares outstanding at a purchase price of $10.8 million.
Bravo! CEO Roy Warren said, "We are honored to partner with CCE. The single serve, flavored milk industry segment has grown considerably over the last several years despite the inherent constraints of traditional chilled dairy distribution systems."
Warren continued, "Slammers reinvent traditional milk drinks, providing great tasting, quality milk drinks that can be distributed with limited or no refrigeration. Slammers are packaged with shelf-stable technology that allows for long shelf life and ambient storage. This advancement allows the Slammers brand to become a serious competitor in the multi-billion dollar 'better-for- you' drink business, which is now the fastest growing segment of the beverage industry. There is no better partner to make this transition for Slammers than CCE."
John R. Alm, president and CEO of Coca-Cola Enterprises said, "Bravo! has a strong line-up of shelf-stable milk products, which we believe will be an excellent addition to our product portfolio. Our new partnership creates the opportunity to combine Bravo's unique brands with the strength of our distribution and selling system."

Slammers(R) Named One of the Year`s Best by Progressive Grocer Magazine
September 19, 2005 09:47:15 (ET)
NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept 19, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Bravo! Foods International (BRVO, Trade), a brand development and marketing company that manufactures, promotes and distributes vitamin-fortified, flavored milks, announced that its Slammers(R) milk drinks have been featured in the September issue of Progressive Grocer magazine, as an 'Editor's Pick' for one of the best new dairy products of the year.
Editors of Progressive Grocer selected Bravo!'s Milky Way(R) Slammers(R) as part of its "Winner's Circle," an impressive list of products whose "overall usefulness, innovative or appealing packaging, acuity at meeting the market's needs, merchandising programs that are especially well thought out, and responsiveness to important trends that extend beyond a 'me too' approach." Products picked by the editors of Progressive Grocer represent a wide variety of innovative products in dozens of supermarket categories.
Bravo! Foods CEO Roy Warren said, "We are excited to be part of the Winner's Circle of Progressive Grocer, one of the most well-respected and well-read industry publications. While retailers are welcoming Slammers(R) based on initial product testing and innovative co-branding campaigns, a prominent feature in a respected industry publication introduces our innovative and great-tasting milk drinks to a much wider audience."
Editors reviewed more than 300 products for the Winner's Circle Editor's Picks, from both the trade and consumer perspective. According to the article, " ... as trade journalists, we looked for factors that would likely lead to success in the marketplace; as consumers we had to like the product enough to consider buying them ourselves." The article praised Slammers(R) for "containing considerably less fat than whole milk while recreating the tastes of two of kids' favorite sweet snacks."
Bravo!'s popular Slammers(R) milk drinks come in 14oz. shelf-stable bottles that can be stored without refrigeration for up to six months. The long shelf life and ambient storage capability is due to a combination of unique processing and packaging, accomplished without compromising taste. Retailers nationwide are offered a variety of great-tasting, single-serve Slammers(R) flavors, for sale in the refrigerated dairy section.
Bravo! Foods recently signed an exclusive, 10-year distribution agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), the world's largest marketer, distributor, and producer of bottle and can liquid nonalcoholic refreshments, expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Does anyone have a clue to how low this is going to go? This is manipulation at it's finest!
Posted by <golfman> on :
I admit I know nothing on how to file a complaint or anything with the SEC. Maybe someone else on here can do that.
This stock is being shorted I think. I have the same problem with DNAG. DNAG was like .12 , they brought it down to .02 with all the shorting going on.
How can a company that will make up to $100 million in 2006 be worth only .50 cents? I see stock in the $1 range and they have no future at all.
If someone can find out how to stop the shorting or file a complaint , maybe we can get it back up near $1.00 where it belongs.

October is when Coca Cola starts to distribute bravo products. The time to get in is now! Coca Cola is going to help them generate 80 to 100 Million in Revenues. The price is at a tragic 0.54. Imagine what it will by the end of 2006. Could it be $2.00-$5.00 IMO It sure could. This company has everything going for it don't jump on the train too late. I think the selling pressure is finally over and we should see a reverse in trend. A bullish hammer formed today which implied a reverse in trend. Green is what I want to see and it will come soon. Good luck to all.
