Classic case of how insiders not doing the honest ethical thing can F--k up a good Product & operations for everyone involved .

[FUNMAN]

Pernod Ricard SA - This is a big company for the Pink Sheets ... but it can be bought as an ADR.

It also has a beautiful chart.

Also Very concerning to me for all the Jefferson brands & great Ocean Voyages..

Hope the law suits don't effect the good work Trey has accomplished over the years and partnerships with KAD

[someconcerns]

Fun, 31mm shares traded. Sounds like about half your portfolio.

[FUNMAN]

I'm also wondering where's Trey in all of this. Jefferson's is his brain child.

[31twu]

I Doubt it ,Unless the other Higher Bidder is a (OTC PINK) Non-Reporting company and off shore Foreign shelter

[Golden Cross]

ROX Daily Chart...Large Volume

[Dlicious1]

I did take profit...most of the ones im holding are .78. Leaving some in the game just incase another bidder should step in.

[31twu]

WHY? Take the Money $Profits Today and live to fight another day.

[Dlicious1]

Sold 30k shares...holding 24k shares.

[31twu]

ROX & the PDRDF OTC PINK (Stinky Situation) Non-reporting Scam stock .

PDRDF @ $190.10 with very light trading Volume of 681 shares today.

I Guess PDRDF just only got some Bourbon assets just this week .

Classic PUMP & DUMP with foreign investor off shore Non-reporting company

Wouldn't Be surprised CEO,CFO,Board of directors don't lose their Asses in SEC Fraud fines$ for insider trading buying scheme.

Glad I sold in every dip & Pump along the way.

Just Hope the Great Jefferson Bourbon Brands can survive all these Games.

Maybe KAD will be ok too "Hope so"

I Will continue to collect All Jefferson brands "Especially the brands on the shelf Now! when the store managers tell me they are taking some brands once sold out of their inventory system not stocking again . Starting to happen with GRAND SELECTION Brand this month .Those will be my first target Buy

[someconcerns]

I would say, yes, another bidder might well pay $10mm more. Heck its just 4.5 percent.

The bigger question is whether management has been coopted already and wont consider another bid. What kind of stock compensation are they being given by Pernod

[$oldier Hard]

The question is would a 2nd bidder gladly pony up $10 million plus a higher bid?

I have the same question which is why I'm still holding half of my shares.

[FUNMAN]

Regarding Pernod Ricard:

I read this on Facebook from a Jefferson's follower - I will say this. The people at Pernot Ricard are wonderful people. In a different life I sat in many sales meetings these people love their brands and foster great relationships. They also were not shy about having premium brands being tasted at these meetings to let us reps taste their products. This is great news that more people can enjoy Jefferson.

[J-fire]

Thank you FUNMAN...I didn't come here for a long time. But when I was in deep doubt I came here and read the posts from you and $oldier Harde, that cools me off:).
Just curious what Pernod Ricard will do to the ROX? This company has business with China which is a huge market for alcohol consumption.

[FUNMAN]

Yes, I read that. The question is would a 2nd bidder gladly pony up $10 million plus a higher bid?

Merger Sub will begin the Offer as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than September 19, 2019,

I'm also wondering whether or not they are already acquiring the shares at $126 - $1.27?

[rlee47]

As a long time consumer of many of their products I was waiting for them to turn the corner on profitability and seeing at a lot of overhead resistance to be chewed through going forward, took 20000 share bite on July 11th. @$0.61. Didn't think twice about selling today for a double, because it exceeded my loss/profit collar parameter. 50 years of investing has taught me that you have to have discipline, up and down even if you might leave some dough on the table.

[Crazy Money]

I MIGHT DESTROY DA $1.27 WALL ...

just for fun and just sayin'

[$oldier Hard]

I was thinking/wondering about that last night.

[Retailman-71]

First off, congrats to all holders. We all feel it's been a long journey. Am glad to move on and have more "Fun".

The CEO of Ricard was on Bloomberg about 4:10 am C.T.this morning talking about their remarkable growth the past yr. with a brief mention of the Castle Brand purchase. ROX will be in good hands.

I too thought C.B. would sell for more. Until the fat lady sings, you never know. Good luck to all with your investments.

[someconcerns]

Agree completely

[FUNMAN]

I wonder what happens with Steve and KAD? kyartisandistillery - Meet Steve... founder of Kentucky Artisan Distillery and creator of Whiskey Row Bourbon. It was Steve’s vision and experience that helped turn @kyartisandistillery from just an idea into what it is today and what it will be in the future. Say “Hi” to Steve & the rest of our knowledgeable staff when you take a tour at the home of @jeffersonsbourbon & #WhiskeyRow #Bourbon!

For all of the ROX naysayers, I couldn't stop buying in the 50's.

Everyone who reads this board knew I thought it was a bargain based on fundamentals.

That's also why I agree with you. The price is too low. But with insiders holding about 42% of the O/S, it's virtually impossible to stop the deal to search for another buyer.

Considering how long they have been pursuing a sale, I agree with SOME, there isn't another buyer, and that's why we are stuck with the $1.27 price.

[FUNMAN]

I sold some. Happy to have some FUN cash for the next penny.

Have a standing order to sell more at $1.27.

Presently intending to hold 60% - 75% until the deal is done just in case someone steps forward with a competitive offer.

Of course the buyer would accept the long term debt. The interest rate is attractive, and the loss carry forwards will be extremely beneficial to a profitable company.

With some aged inventory being more than 4 years old, and all of it valued at cost, the "multiple" at wholesale should be very attractive.

I think they sold at a low future book value. So just in case a competitive offer comes forward, I will keep skin in the game.

But I also think today is the last good day to get out before the ink dries, unless another offer comes in.

[J-fire]

I just hate that how they manipulated the pps this year to force ppl give up their shares. I'd have sell my shares if I don't have faith. I also don't think the buyout gives ROX the fair price...

[J-fire]

I am holding. I have higher expectation for ROX.

[Dlicious1]

Anyone sell yet? I am holding.

[Dlicious1]

Yeah i Agree...be bought out for a fair price....this is highway robbery.

[FUNMAN]

Insider Investor presentations have been touting the value to an acquiring company for 3 years. Anyone who read them knew all along their goal was to sell the company.

My only beef is, now that they finally were going to be sustainably profitable, they pulled the plug for such a low PPS.

ROX has been very good to me, but I expected much more.

[someconcerns]

Their periodic presentations clearly appeared to be aimed at selling the company, at least to my eye.

[someconcerns]

Your shares and mine will be bought for cash. I saw no option to swap shares. The ROX symbol will disappear.

[someconcerns]

Usuallly, those are just ambulance chasers (hate to be demeaning to ambulance chasers; had a cousin who was one) looking to greenmail the company. The lawyers get almost all the cash which might be received "for their expenses." Shareholders rarely get anything.

[FUNMAN]

Your welcome Jld

[FUNMAN]

I agree

[jump1]

O, how sweet it is. Congrats traders.
