WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Bravo! Foods International Corp. (BRVO) and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE) entered into a letter of intent last Friday, under which Coca-Cola Enterprises would purchase about 81 million Bravo shares from the company for slightly more than 16 cents [/font] a share per share.

On July 13, Coca-Cola Enterprises purchased the options to buy about 68.99 million common shares at net exercise price of 36 cents a share, representing about 23% of the authorized shares of Bravo's common stock, Wednesday's filing said.

Bravo will also enter into a master distribution agreement with Coca-Cola Enterprises, granting Coca-Cola distribution rights for Bravo's products, the filing said.

Shares of Bravo closed on Wednesday at $1.15 on the over-the-counter bulletin board.

Maybe someone can shed some light on why the company and stockholders would give up millions of $ for this.  The only thing I can think of is that they must believe it will be worth it in the long run.

SHAKEOUT FAKEOUT AND  BREAKOUT!
U NEVER SEE BRVO UNDER BUCK AGAIN!

[David Randolph]

It seems my analysis of the deal between CCE and BRVO was right, CCE indeed bought 81 million shares from BRVO @ $0.16 a share.

Off course, this deal adds value to the company, so don't expect to buy as low as CCE did. Not even double what CCE payed. But quadruple what CCE payed seems reasonable.

I believe BRVO will trade @$0.60 - $0.64 before $2. Watch out for the H&S top formation on the chart.

I hope I'm wrong, since I have no interest on this coming down, but this is the analysis I have to share.

(I will pay more attention to the threads of stocks I've sold from now on)

David:
1. great effort. I dsagree - and I need time to formulate a rebuttal. Here in Thailand its time for dinner, so it will be after todays market closes. I will post over the weekend.
2. Do you have an ignore, for idiots such as jj86? That little bunt cost me money with his idiot post which I was stupid enough to react to - fear is a primieval force to recon with!
Now he is pumping. If I can't have an ignore button, altho' you have the bestest site, Im gone.
Don.

jj86 was just banned from our website.

This is a T2T community... not the jungle 

Reasons for being banned:
. Pump attitude
. Writing a lot of posts with caps lock
. 38 community smites

This is not a «shout» board, this is a discussion board...

[daldrich]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't CCE purchase of shares effectively act like BRVO mgmt repurchasing and retiring that many shares without using their own capital?
  The net result is less shares in float and the remaining shares worth more unless CCE decides to dump shares and lose its controlling interest.

[David Randolph]

No dalrich, the company will issue more shares, so the number of shares outstanding will grow so the market cap grows a lot too just from this operation.

This is why I considered the stock has less potential now, not such a small company, though the market price is essentially the same.

But I'm bullish long term on BRVO, just think over the coming months the stock won't move much, and there's the risk it falls down to $0.60 in my opinion.

Good luck !

[snowcat]

There is a price to pay for Coke's marketing muscle.  But it is a steep price.
I guess Bravo does the math like this:

.16/shr + Coke marketing and Distribution = Big $$$$$$$$$$$$$

But - shares are diluted - and now they have to sell a bunch more Slammers to show a big profit.

Look for: "NEW Slammers", "Slammers with Lime", and "Slammer Zero"

Turning my sights to SWTS.pk for the moment.

1. RE; jj86
always sorry to lose any active mind; , but not an unfocussed and somewhat destructive  mind.
2. my very brief response to what has been posted to this time (11. 07pm at Bangkok):
1. I think you have to assess just where BRAVO is, in terms of its financial position.
It had issued 'junk' financing, or what is often referred to as 'bottomless financing', earlier this year. This financing, at that time,. appeared to me to be acceptable, in that it bought the company time. I looked at the balance sheet. I believe that any amateur financial analysts would have realized that, regardless  of the product pipeline which this company had, BRVO was illiquid, insolvent, bankrupt. When you get to this stage and your auditors say so, You are very close to flat line (ie dead).  Without that infusion  of cash, imho, the company would have not survived.
2. Now, in a stroke, the company has  gotten rid of this kiss-of-death style of financing and - it has acquired a huge partner.
I believe that the financial risk of financial dealt by a spiraling price drop and a corresponding new stock overhang has been eliminated. It has been replaced by an entirely separate and distinctive risk.
The one where Coke determines to force a merger at a price per share which it decides to pay.
I am convinced that this pps, to a Coke buyout,  is worth considerably more than 60 cents - if only for the consideration that, were Coke to arm wrestle us minority shareholders in to accepting 60 cents, the loss of goodwill would be worth more.
2. In order to assess just where my investment objectives are going, I need to ascertain:
(a)  what % Coke would need to hold, in order to force a merger with us 'outsider' shareholders?
(b) . I also need to check the Bylaws or company rules governing - what % of the shares would be needed for Bravo to issue sufficient shares to Coke out of treasury, so that Coke had the  % at (a) ? Don.

[starfire]

Don,
The 81M shares that Coke will be purchasing from BRVO will come out of BRVO's treasury. I believe at the end of the deal there will be 50-55M shares in treasury (as 15M warrants will be converted by CCE and there will remain 50M (65-15) warrants).

Take a look at this link:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=7205685

But I think what David is saying, is that market forces will bring down BRVO's shares to 60cents before it starts moving back to $2. It is quite possible that MMs may induce a sell off or for that matter of fact naked shorting could continue inducing a sell off. BRVO is right now on Reg Sho list.

By the by your analysis of BRVO's liquidity crisis was right on the nail! If CCE did not show up, sooner or later it would have had to increase it's A/S!

I would certainly caution anyone from buying, who cannot hold thru' some rough waters. What i am trying to determine, is, I have my core investment. 50% of it is about 4 years old!
I want to trade . But I am exceedingly wary of how markets can be manipulated. What does anyone think of the 'Dallas' theory? IE Coke hiring MM's to pull the price down, so they can pick up that elusive %.
BTW, I do not know how to access the Bylaws of this company. Does anyone? It would be instructrive to know (I am repeating myself)
(a)  what % Coke would need to hold, in order to force a merger with us 'outsider' shareholders?
(b) . I also need to check the Bylaws or company rules governing - what % of the shares would be needed for Bravo to issue sufficient shares to Coke out of treasury, so that Coke had the  % at (a) ? I do believe that this is as much a strategy game as anything. If I were advising Coke, I would say, figure out the cheapest way to  get to the desired %which will give you voting control oner the issue of new shares and dilute the float so that you control it.   Don.

Let me rephrase that: 'find out the cheapest way to get to the % (I think it is 90%) that allows you to push through a compulsory buy out".
Is there a standard compulsory buyout % in US corporate law? Don.
