Cornerstone to the structure of the deal are provisions that will improve Global Beverage's balance sheet should Rudy Partners, Ltd. becomes a publicly traded company or the subsidiary of a publicly traded company. Global Beverage will own 20% of the new public entity which could be used to dividend shares to GBVS shareholders of record.
Jerry Pearring, CEO of Global Beverage commented, "Rudy Beverage has a tremendous future ahead and we are confident it can become one of the great beverage companies in the functional sports and children's beverages categories. Should RBI move into its own publicly traded vehicle we anticipate it may garner an even greater valuation for our balance sheet assets, provide us liquidity and possibly create an opportunity to dividend additional shares to our shareholders. The net result could provide GBVS shareholders with equity in both entities."
