DJN: PRESS RELEASE: National Beverage Corp. 'Acts' in Favor of Cash Dividend

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 06, 2010--
National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) -- Today, December 6, 2010, being the
latest effective date by regulation and time requirement in which to secure
preferential tax treatment for their shareholders, the Board of Directors
has acted to guard their shareholder interests by declaring a cash dividend
of $2.30 per share. This dividend shall be payable to shareholders of record
as of the close of business on December 16, 2010. Under Delaware law, the
State in which the Company is incorporated, payment of dividends shall be
made no later than 60 days after record date or, in this case, on or before
February 14, 2011. NASDAQ shall require ex-dividend trading of National
Beverage Common Stock (FIZZ) effective market opening on December 14, 2010.
"While the Board and management are joyful and uplifted for the
shareholders, the Company's balance sheet and prudent management philosophy
enabled the Board's actions and will not impair or negatively influence the
Company's future performance in any way," stated Nick A. Caporella, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer.
"Our federal lawmakers' lack of fiscal judgment, relative to the expiration
of the current tax laws, induced the Board's decision to act in a prudent
manner on behalf of the shareholders. There is much conjecture these days
about what Congress may or may not retroactively do. If they could pass a
law that we (shareholders of America / voters) had the right to
retroactively rescind our original vote -- should they gridlock after
elected -- the abandoned-patriotic providers of our great America would
profoundly . . . be reaffirmed! That's a -- Yes!" Caporella continued.
"The Board -- along with Team National, wish all . . . Good Tidings this
Thanks and Giving Season," concluded Caporella.
National Beverage is highly innovative as a pace-setter in the changing
soft-drink industry, featuring refreshment products that are geared toward
the lifestyle/health-conscious consumer. Shasta(R) -- Faygo(R) --
Everfresh(R) and LaCroix(R) are aligned with Rip It(R) energy products to
make National Beverage . . . America's Flavor--Favorite -- soft-drink
company.
