>>kraft is winning, nestles is losing because of pouch, tcbg is the answer<< Maybe so, but then Libby's should buy TCBG, not vice versa. Seeing as you have the inside line to Jon, how about answering a few questions? 1. UNSOLICITED buyout offers are rarely successful. And if buying Libby's is really TCBG's intention, why muddy up the waters with a press release. This is the LAST thing TCBG would do if their intentions were serious. 2. How will TCBG finance this acquisition? The only way I can see is through junk bonds and a secondary offering. Any secondary offering will wipe out the stock. And junk bonds will cost TCBG 12+% 3. If by some miracle TCBG were successful, where does the capacity to package Juicy Juice come from? TCBG is maxed out on Volpak capacity for the next two years serving its private label customers. 4. How does it benefit TCBG to pay a premium price for a juice brand with declining market share? It's the PACKAGE that's important, right? 5. Why do you get so defensive when someone asks a few pointed questions about a press release that is so patently absurd? Appreciate any light you can cast into these dark corners.
