    <p>
      FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 6, 2010--National
      Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) &#8211; Today, December 6, 2010, being the
      latest effective date by regulation and time requirement in which to
      secure preferential tax treatment for their shareholders, the Board of
      Directors has acted to guard their shareholder interests by declaring a
      cash dividend of $2.30 per share. This dividend shall be payable to
      shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2010.
      Under Delaware law, the State in which the Company is incorporated,
      payment of dividends shall be made no later than 60 days after record
      date or, in this case, on or before February 14, 2011. NASDAQ shall
      require ex-dividend trading of National Beverage Common Stock (FIZZ)
      effective market opening on December 14, 2010.

    <p>
      &#8220;While the Board and management are joyful and uplifted for the
      shareholders, the Company&#8217;s balance sheet and prudent management
      philosophy enabled the Board&#8217;s actions and will not impair or negatively
      influence the Company&#8217;s future performance in any way,&#8221; stated Nick A.
      Caporella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Our federal lawmakers&#8217; lack of fiscal judgment, relative to the
      expiration of the current tax laws, induced the Board&#8217;s decision to act
      in a prudent manner on behalf of the shareholders. There is much
      conjecture these days about what Congress may or may not retroactively
      do. If they <i>could</i> pass a law that we (shareholders of America /
      voters) had the right to <i>retroactively</i> rescind our original vote
      &#8211; should they gridlock after elected &#8211; the abandoned-patriotic providers
      of our great America would profoundly . . . be reaffirmed! That&#8217;s a &#8211;
      Yes!&#8221; Caporella continued.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;The Board &#8211; along with <i>Team National,</i> wish all . . .
      Good Tidings this Thanks and Giving Season,&#8221; concluded Caporella.
