Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson Fistel, LLP announces
that a class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of persons or

A Securities Class Action Complaint was filed on behalf of those

supposed "proprietary techniques" lacked a verifiable basis; (2)
the Company's Chairman and CEO engaged in a pattern of sexual
misconduct between 2014 and 2016; and (3) as a result, National
Beverage's public statements were materially false and misleading
at all relevant times. On May 4, 2017, National Beverage issued a press
release stating that it "employs methods that no other company does
in this area—VPO (velocity per outlet) and VPC (velocity per
capita)." National Beverage asserted that it "utilize[s] two
proprietary techniques to magnify these measures and this creates
growth never before thought possible." Then on June 26, 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported

and Exchange Commission with requested sales figures to clarify
their sales claims. Then on July 3,

Beverage's CEO had sexually harassed them.
