      On August 12, 2008, National Beverage Corp. (the &quot;Company&quot;) received
      notice from the staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market (&quot;Nasdaq&quot;) indicating
      that, due to the death of S. Lee Kling, the staff had determined that
      the Company no longer complied with Nasdaq's audit committee
      requirement, as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350 by having only two
      members on the Company's audit committee. Nasdaq provided the Company
      with a cure period until January 22, 2009.&#160;&#160;The Company expects to
      appoint a qualified independent director to serve on the board and its
      audit committee prior to January 22, 2009.

    <p>
      FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Beverage Corp.
      (NASDAQ:FIZZ) announced that it has begun a search for an independent
      director to serve on its board of directors and audit committee. The
      company has suffered the loss of a proud American, a warm friend and a
      director <i>&#8216;par excellence&#8217;</i>! This loss has temporarily
      placed the company in a position of non-compliance relative to the
      requirement of a minimum of three independent directors on the audit
      committee. Under the NASDAQ rules, the company has until January 22,
      2009 to appoint an additional director.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We all mourn the passing of a unique American,&#8221; stated Chairman and CEO
      Nick A. Caporella. &#8220;Lee Kling&#8217;s devotion to his family was strongly
      complimented by his patriotism and dedicated service to his America. In
      all aspects . . . Lee, was . . . one, hell-of-a-man,&#8221; concluded
      Caporella.
