08 Novembre 2006 - 2:00PM
PR Newswire (US)
Receives Second Tranche of Funding of $15 million NORTH PALM BEACH,
Fla., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bravo! Brands Inc.
(OTC:BRVO) (BULLETIN BOARD: BRVO) today announced that the
Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective the Form
SB - 2 registration statement filed by the company in December
2005. The registration statement included amended and restated
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005
and for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2006. The restated
financial statements reflect the reclassification of certain of the
company's financial instruments and the implementation of a new
valuation methodology for derivatives associated with certain of
its past and current financial instruments. The restatements
resulted in non-cash adjustments to the financial statements and
did not impact the operating results of the company. In July 2006,
the Company sold $30 million of Senior Convertible Notes due 2010.
Of the $30 million raised by the company, $15 million was released
to the company upon closing the transaction in July and the
remaining $15 million was held in escrow, pending effectiveness of
the Form SB-2. The Company had previously satisfied the other
escrow release condition by having shareholders approve an increase
in authorized shares at a shareholder meeting on October 11, 2006.
Roy Warren, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are extremely
pleased to have the SEC declare our registration statement
effective. It was a condition of our recent financing and the
company can now receive the second tranche of the capital we
raised." Mr. Warren further commented, "We are now in a position to
move ahead aggressively with our financial strategies as well as
our business plans to grow our brands and support our distribution
partners and our marketing plans." About the Company Bravo! Brands
