Notice to Shareholders of JDE Peet's in the United StatesThe tender offer is being made for the ordinary shares of JDE Peet's, a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands with ordinary shares listed on Euronext Amsterdam. It is important that U.S. shareholders of JDE Peet's understand that the tender and any related offer documents are subject to Dutch disclosure and procedural requirements, which are different from those of the United States. U.S. shareholders of JDE Peet's are advised that JDE Peet's ordinary shares are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that JDE Peet's is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder.The tender offer is being made in the United States in compliance with, and in reliance on, the exemption provided by Rule 14d-1(d), known as "Tier II" exemption, under the Exchange Act and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Dutch law. Accordingly, the tender offer is subject to certain disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to the tender offer timetable and settlement procedures that are different from those applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer procedures and laws.The receipt of cash pursuant to the tender offer by a U.S. holder of JDE Peet's ordinary shares will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable state and local, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each holder of JDE Peet's ordinary shares is urged to consult their independent professional advisor immediately regarding the tax consequences of acceptance of the tender offer.It may be difficult for U.S. holders of JDE Peet's shares to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the U.S. federal securities laws, since JDE Peet's is located in a country other than the United States, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States. U.S. holders of JDE Peet's may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulation, including Rule 14e-5 of the Exchange Act, in accordance with normal Dutch practice, JDE Peet's and its affiliates or broker (acting as agents for JDE Peet's or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date hereof, and other than pursuant to the tender offer, directly or indirectly purchase, or arrange to purchase, ordinary shares of JDE Peet's that are the subject of the tender offer or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such shares. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. In no event will any such purchases be made for a price per share that is greater than the tender offer price. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in The Netherlands, such information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. shareholders of JDE Peet's of such information. No purchases will be made outside the tender offer in the United States by or on behalf of KDP. In addition, the financial advisors to KDP may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of JDE Peet's, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities.Neither the SEC nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved or disapproved the tender offer, passed upon the merits or fairness of the tender offer, or passed any comment upon the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the disclosure in relation to the tender offer. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.RestrictionsThe distribution of this press release may, in some countries, be restricted by law or regulation. Accordingly, persons who come into possession of this document should inform themselves of and observe these restrictions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, JDE Peet's and KDP disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of any such restrictions by any person. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of that jurisdiction. Neither KDP nor JDE Peet's, nor any of their advisors, assumes any responsibility for any violation of any of these restrictions.

This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to acquire or dispose of any securities or investment advice or an inducement to enter into investment activity. The Offer is not made, and the Shares will not be accepted for purchase from, or on behalf of, any shareholder, in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities or other laws or regulations of such jurisdiction or would require any registration, approval or filing with any regulatory authority not expressly contemplated by the terms of the Offer Memorandum.Forward Looking StatementsCertain statements in this press release may be considered "forward-looking statements," such as statements relating to the impact of this transaction on KDP, JDE Peet's, and the combined business, the contemplated spin-off, future financial targets and results, and expected cost savings and synergies.

The transaction marks a major milestone in the Company's strategic transformation and long-term growth agenda.With this acquisition, KDP is bringing together world-class brands, deep category expertise, and complementary capabilities in coffee across JDE Peet's and KDP's Keurig business. The Company is moving forward with detailed integration efforts focused on operational excellence, synergy capture, leadership alignment and disciplined execution to ensure a seamless transition for customers, consumers and employees. As previously announced, after an interim operating period, KDP plans to separate into two independent, U.S.-listed publicly traded companies, creating a consumer-obsessed leader in North America's attractive refreshment beverages market ("Beverage Co.") and a global coffee powerhouse ("Global Coffee Co.").KDP additionally announced its Board of Directors has named Rafael Oliveira as Chief Executive Officer of its coffee operating unit and as CEO for the future Global Coffee Co. following the planned separation.

"Our Board conducted a robust and rigorous process that considered a range of internal and external candidates, and we are confident Rafa will be an exceptional leader for this new company. With proven leadership across complex global markets and a commitment to driving financial results, he has set a course for growth at JDE Peet's.

Together, these moves are critical milestones on our path to launch winning companies in both coffee and refreshment beverages that will create shareholder value and shape their categories.""This is an incredible opportunity to create the future of coffee," said Oliveira. "Global Coffee Co. will aim to be the best coffee company in the world by combining global reach with local expertise to operate across all formats, segments, channels and price points. As I've gotten to know the Board, Tim, and the KDP leadership team, it has only strengthened my belief in the bold vision for the new company.

Notice to Shareholders of JDE Peet's in the United StatesThe tender offer is being made for the ordinary shares of JDE Peet's, a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands with ordinary shares listed on Euronext Amsterdam. It is important that U.S. shareholders of JDE Peet's understand that the tender and any related offer documents are subject to Dutch disclosure and procedural requirements, which are different from those of the United States. U.S. shareholders of JDE Peet's are advised that JDE Peet's ordinary shares are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that JDE Peet's is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder.The tender offer is being made in the United States in compliance with, and in reliance on, the exemption provided by Rule 14d-1(d), known as "Tier II" exemption, under the Exchange Act and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Dutch law. Accordingly, the tender offer is subject to certain disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to the tender offer timetable and settlement procedures that are different from those applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer procedures and laws.The receipt of cash pursuant to the tender offer by a U.S. holder of JDE Peet's ordinary shares will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable state and local, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each holder of JDE Peet's ordinary shares is urged to consult their independent professional advisor immediately regarding the tax consequences of acceptance of the tender offer.It may be difficult for U.S. holders of JDE Peet's shares to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the U.S. federal securities laws, since JDE Peet's is located in a country other than the United States, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States. U.S. holders of JDE Peet's may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulation, including Rule 14e-5 of the Exchange Act, in accordance with normal Dutch practice, JDE Peet's and its affiliates or broker (acting as agents for JDE Peet's or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date hereof, and other than pursuant to the tender offer, directly or indirectly purchase, or arrange to purchase, ordinary shares of JDE Peet's that are the subject of the tender offer or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such shares. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. In no event will any such purchases be made for a price per share that is greater than the tender offer price. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in The Netherlands, such information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. shareholders of JDE Peet's of such information. No purchases will be made outside the tender offer in the United States by or on behalf of KDP. In addition, the financial advisors to KDP may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of JDE Peet's, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities.Neither the SEC nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved or disapproved the tender offer, passed upon the merits or fairness of the tender offer, or passed any comment upon the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the disclosure in relation to the tender offer. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.RestrictionsThe distribution of this press release may, in some countries, be restricted by law or regulation.

Better-for-You Stimulant Formats Gain Scale as Consumer Demand Reshapes Delivery LandscapeMarch 4, 2026 11:51 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Issued on behalf of Doseology Sciences Inc.VANCOUVER, BC, March 4, 2026 /CNW/ -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary — Consumer habits continue to shift, and there's no better example to point at than the rise of pouches. The global oral nicotine pouch market is projected to surge from $5.4 billion in 2024 to over $25 billion by 2030, reflecting a 29.6% CAGR[1]. On top of this, consumer habits are shifting toward tobacco-free formats which are accelerating alongside demand for functional, portable energy delivery systems that eliminate liquid bulk and sugar crashes[2]. This convergence is channeling capital toward consumer goods platforms built around precise dosing, clean ingredients, and modern form factors, creating scalable opportunities for Doseology Sciences (CSE: MOOD) (OTCPK: DOSEF) (FSE: VU70), Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH), British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI), Turning Point Brands (NYSE: TPB), and Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP).







Another rising star is functional beverages, a market projected to reach $192.8 billion globally in 2026, driven by wellness trends including cognitive support ingredients and stress-relief botanicals[2]. Energy drinks dominate with 39% market share, benefiting from sustained-release caffeine and natural boosters that appeal to fast-paced consumers seeking alternatives to traditional sugary formats[3].Doseology Sciences (CSE: MOOD) (OTCPK: DOSEF) (FSE: VU70) just launched Feed That Brain Energy Pouches in the United States through a direct-to-consumer pilot program, marking the company's first DTC initiative in the U.S. market. Based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Doseology is testing nicotine-free, caffeine-based oral pouches that deliver clean, controlled energy in a discreet format without sugar, smoke, or liquid consumption. The pouches are now available exclusively to U.S. consumers at feedthatbrain.com and Amazon.com.The U.S. pilot represents a key milestone in Doseology's strategy to validate oral pouch delivery as a scalable stimulant platform, beginning with non-nicotine energy products. The company will use this phase to evaluate consumer adoption, usage frequency, and repeat purchase behavior, with particular focus on underserved demographics seeking alternatives to traditional energy drinks."This U.S. pilot is a disciplined and deliberate step in Doseology's strategy to build a scalable oral stimulant platform," said Larry Latowsky, Executive Chairman of Doseology. "Feed That Brain demonstrates how controlled, non-nicotine energy delivery can meet evolving consumer preferences while generating the operational insight required for responsible growth."Feed That Brain Energy Pouches are designed for modern, on-the-go use, offering consumers clarity and control without the volatility commonly associated with liquid energy formats. The product reflects Doseology's broader focus on precision dosing, predictability, and experience-led design.The company also recently appointed Larry Latowsky as Executive Chairman, bringing experience from his tenure as President and CEO of Katz Group Canada, which operated over 1,500 pharmacy locations. Latowsky cited the clarity of Doseology's strategy and team quality as reasons for joining, stating confidence in building a durable platform and unlocking significant long-term value.Doseology also recently granted 140,000 restricted share units and 210,000 performance share units to a director, with RSUs vesting in equal monthly increments over 36 months and PSUs vesting upon achievement of defined performance milestones.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for Doseology Sciences at: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/12/19/what-comes-after-cigarettes-vapes-and-energy-drinks/In other industry developments:Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) recently reported full-year 2025 revenue of $2.5 billion, an 86% increase driven by portfolio integration across CELSIUS, Alani Nu, and Rockstar Energy brands.

Keurig Dr Pepper shares gain after earnings beat and upbeat outlookFebruary 24, 2026 10:54 AM
IH Market News
Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:KDP) shares rose more than 2% in premarket trading after the beverage maker reported fourth-quarter results that topped analyst expectations and issued stronger-than-anticipated guidance for fiscal 2026.The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.60 for the quarter, exceeding forecasts by $0.01, while revenue reached $4.5 billion, ahead of the $4.36 billion consensus estimate.Keurig Dr Pepper’s outlook for 2026 also surpassed Wall Street projections, supported in part by the expected acquisition of JDE Peet’s, which is anticipated to close in early April.Fourth-quarter revenue increased 10.5% year over year, driven primarily by continued strength in the U.S. Refreshment Beverages division. CEO Tim Cofer said, “2025 was another strong year for KDP. We delivered on our guidance, navigated the dynamic operating environment with agility, and executed well in the marketplace with winning innovation and robust commercial activation of our brands.”For fiscal 2026, the company forecasts revenue in the range of $25.9 billion to $26.4 billion, well above analyst consensus estimates of $17.196 billion. The midpoint of $26.15 billion reflects the anticipated contribution from the JDE Peet’s transaction.Keurig Dr Pepper expects low double-digit adjusted EPS growth for the full year, including 4% to 6% growth from its standalone operations alongside incremental earnings from the acquisition.Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter rose 4.8% to $1.19 billion, representing 26.5% of net sales. The increase was supported by higher net sales and productivity improvements, partially offset by inflationary pressures and increased selling, general and administrative expenses.Performance was led by the U.S. Refreshment Beverages segment, where net sales climbed 11.5% to $2.7 billion, fueled by 7.0% volume and mix growth along with 4.5% favorable pricing. The acquisition of GHOST contributed 6.1 percentage points to volume growth during the quarter.For full-year 2025, Keurig Dr Pepper reported adjusted EPS of $2.05, up 7.3% year over year, on revenue of $16.6 billion, representing an 8.2% annual increase.Keurig Dr Pepper stock price

Keurig Dr Pepper Announces Updated Financing Plan for JDE Peet's AcquisitionFebruary 23, 2026 4:30 PM
PR Newswire (US)

Company strengthens balance sheet by further reducing projected leverage
and attracts additional high-quality investorsBURLINGTON, Mass. and FRISCO, Texas, Feb. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: KDP; "the Company") today announced updated financing plans and transaction timelines for the acquisition of JDE Peet's and subsequent planned separation into two independent companies ("Beverage Co." and "Global Coffee Co." pending the announcement of official corporate names).Key developments include:A targeted close of the JDE Peet's acquisition in early April 2026, with expected combined net leverage of approximately 4.5x1An agreement to upsize the previously announced Beverage Co. convertible preferred equity investment co-led by Apollo and KKR to $4.5 billion from $3 billion, with additional participation from high-quality, long-term oriented investors including accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Investment Management; as a result, the Company will no longer consider a partial IPO of Beverage Co.Definitive agreements finalized for the Global Coffee Co. Pod Manufacturing JV first announced in October 2025Long term debt to be issued by the future Global Coffee Co. to finance the remaining portion of the JDE Peet's transactionCommenting on the announcements, Keurig Dr Pepper CFO Anthony DiSilvestro stated: "Today's update demonstrates our commitment to ensuring strong and resilient capital structures at each stage of this transaction by introducing an additional $1.5 billion of cost-efficient equity capital into the financing and bringing on board a high-quality mix of shareholders who recognize the value creation opportunity ahead. Our comprehensive financing solution, combined with strong cash generation, will drive rapid deleveraging, reinforce KDP's balance sheet, and help to establish Beverage Co. and Global Coffee Co. as successful, investment-grade companies."  The Company now plans to finance the upcoming acquisition through a combination of approximately $9 billion of long-term debt, $8.5 billion of equity capital, and the assumption of approximately $5 billion of existing JDE Peet's bonds, resulting in projected combined net leverage of 4.5x1. The transaction, which is expected to close in early April 2026, remains forecasted to be approximately 10% EPS accretive in its first full year. The company continues to evaluate additional avenues to accelerate deleveraging, including potential non-core asset monetization opportunities.Separation timing will be based on the achievement of key milestones, including appropriate leverage levels at each company, and supportive market conditions. Though exact timing of the tax-free spin of Global Coffee Co. is yet to be determined, key transformation workstreams continue to target operational readiness to separate by year-end 2026.Equity FinancingThe Company reached a definitive agreement to increase the size of the previously announced convertible preferred stock investment in KDP to $4.5 billion, from the $3 billion co-led by funds managed by affiliates of Apollo (NYSE: APO) and funds and accounts managed by KKR (NYSE: KKR). Accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Investment Management (TRPIM) have provided an anchor commitment to support the upsize, alongside significant additional participation from Apollo, KKR, and other high-quality, long-term oriented investors. Post separation, the instrument will remain with Beverage Co.   The key terms of the instrument are substantially consistent with the October 2025 announcement, including an initial conversion price of $37.25 per share and a preferred dividend rate of 4.75%. As a result of the upsize, the Company will no longer consider a partial IPO of the Beverage Co.In addition, definitive agreements for the Global Coffee Co. Pod Manufacturing JV have been executed on terms substantially consistent with the October 2025 announcement. The $4 billion investment into the joint venture will be co-led by Apollo and KKR with participation from Goldman Sachs Alternatives, as previously disclosed.  The agreements are subject to customary closing conditions for transactions of this type.Debt FinancingTo complete the financing for the acquisition, the Company expects Global Coffee Co. to raise approximately $9 billion of debt capital through a mix of long-term senior debt and a temporary borrowing under the existing term loan facility. Global Coffee Co. will also assume approximately $5 billion of existing JDE Peet's bonds upon acquisition close.After the separation is complete, and accounting for additional deleveraging that will occur between acquisition close and the spin-off transaction, Global Coffee Co. plans to issue junior subordinated notes to repay any remaining portion outstanding on the term loan.___________________1 Projected as of June 30, 2026.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

While the lists of risk factors presented here and in our public filings are considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.Any forward-looking statement made herein speaks only as of the date of this release. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, unless required by law.NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESThis release includes non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from results using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to and should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures. These measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define the non-GAAP financial measure in the same way. Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude certain charges, including one-time costs that are not expected to occur routinely in future periods, described by the Company as "items affecting comparability." The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Additionally, we use non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in our budgeting and planning process. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate our operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance.Management leverage ratio is defined as the Company's total principal amounts of debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that the Management leverage ratio is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's liquidity and assessing the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations.Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, as adjusted for items affecting comparability, which include: (i) the unrealized mark-to-market impact of derivative instruments not designated as hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP that do not have an offsetting risk reflected within the financial results, as well as the unrealized mark-to-market impact of our Vita Coco investment prior to its sale in the first quarter of 2025; (ii) the amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets; (iii) the amortization of the deferred financing costs associated with the combination of the business operations with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. as of July 9, 2018 (the "DPS Merger"); (iv) the amortization of the fair value adjustment of the senior unsecured notes obtained as a result of the DPS Merger; (v) stock compensation expense and the associated windfall tax benefit attributable to the matching awards made to employees who made an initial investment in KDP; (vi) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned), excluding costs related to the JDE Peet's acquisition; (vii) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (viii) certain other items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods. EBITDA is defined as Net income as adjusted for interest expense, net; provision for income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization of intangibles; and other amortization. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's operating results and understanding the Company's operating trends by adjusting certain items that can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events, thereby affecting comparability.The Company does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures, due to the inability to predict the amount and timing of impacts outside of the Company's control on certain items, such as non-cash gains or losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments of derivative instruments, among others, which could be material. Reconciling such items would require unreasonable efforts.RESTRICTIONSThis release does not constitute an offer, or any solicitation of any offer, to buy or subscribe for any securities in JDE Peet's N.V. Any offer will be made only by means of the offer memorandum approved by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets, which is available as of January 15, 2026.

Capital Rotation: Why Smart Money is Chasing Functional WellnessFebruary 6, 2026 9:07 AM
PR Newswire (US)

ISSUED ON BEHALF OF DOSEOLOGY SCIENCES INC.Equity-Insider.com News CommentaryVANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Legacy strategies are stalling as consumers abandon static products for brands that deliver real utility. This pivotal shift toward added value[1] is dismantling the old model of simple shelf dominance. We are entering a high-growth cycle where the functional market is forecast to expand from $164 billion to over $240 billion by 2031[2]. This creates a scalable opportunity for the movers and shakers redefining the sector: Doseology Sciences Inc. (CSE: MOOD) (OTCPK:DOSEF) (FSE: VU70), Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP), Nature's Sunshine (NASDAQ: NATR), PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP), and Splash Beverage Group (NYSE-A: SBEV).  Investors need to look past traditional category labels and focus on lifestyle integration[1]. Data shows that health and wellness is the only sector with net positive spending intent this year[3]. While other industries cut back; half of all consumers are actively prioritizing functional products that fit seamlessly into their routine. This disconnect between robust demand and current market valuations presents a compelling entry point for capital looking for growth.Doseology Sciences Inc. (CSE: MOOD) (OTCPK: DOSEF) began pilot production of caffeine-based energy pouches in late January 2026, introducing its Feed That Brain brand into the growing oral pouch market. The Kelowna, British Columbia-based company is testing nicotine-free pouches that deliver caffeine in a small, portable format similar to the tobacco-free nicotine pouches that have gained popularity in recent years.The pilot products avoid the sugar, carbonation, and liquid bulk of traditional energy drinks. Instead, users get measured caffeine doses in a discreet pouch format. A small direct-to-consumer test is expected within weeks to gather customer feedback and operational data before any larger commercial rollout."This pilot reflects a disciplined and intentional approach to evaluating new product formats within our platform," said Tim Corkum, President and COO of Doseology. "Feed That Brain brings a strong foundation in functional product design, and this initiative allows us to assess caffeine-based, pouch-format energy delivery under a measured and compliant framework."The initiative follows Doseology's December 2024 acquisition of the Feed That Brain brand for $400,000, paid through stock issuance. The Toronto-based cognitive health brand, founded by Forbes-recognized entrepreneur Rena R. Dempsey, originally focused on functional gummies and nootropic supplements designed to support mental performance.Doseology also brought on Joseph Mimran as Strategic Advisor in a three-year deal valued at $400,000 in restricted share units. Mimran co-founded Alfred Sung, founded Club Monaco (later sold to Ralph Lauren), and created the Joe Fresh retail brand. He stated that Doseology's product development approach and attention to regulatory requirements encouraged his involvement.The Feed That Brain purchase puts Doseology at the crossroads of two fast-growing consumer categories. Grand View Research projects the global energy drinks market will expand from $79.4 billion in 2024 to $125.1 billion by 2030. The nicotine pouch segment is forecast to surge from $5.4 billion in 2024 to over $25 billion by 2030, a 29.6% annual growth rate. Consumer concerns about sugar intake and beverage overconsumption have driven interest in alternative caffeine formats.Doseology currently sells Gummies and Collagen products under the Feed That Brain brand in close to 500 Canadian retail locations. Its U.S. subsidiary, Doseology USA Inc., established earlier this year, is developing pouches that combine caffeine with nootropics and adaptogens. The company is led by CEO Chris Jackson, President and COO Tim Corkum, and Strategic Go-to-Market Advisor Patrick Sills.CONTINUED... Read this and more news for Doseology Sciences at:
https://equity-insider.com/2025/12/19/what-comes-after-cigarettes-vapes-and-energy-drinks/Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) launched a recommended public cash offer for all issued and outstanding shares of JDE Peet's at EUR 31.85 per share, with the offer period running from January 16 to March 27, 2026. The JDE Peet's board of directors unanimously supports and recommends the offer, with shareholders representing approximately 69% of outstanding shares having irrevocably committed to tender, and all competition clearances have been obtained.Following the acquisition, Keurig Dr Pepper plans to separate into two independent, U.S.-listed publicly traded companies creating a scaled North American refreshment beverages challenger and a global coffee leader serving over 100 countries. Closing is expected early in the second quarter of 2026, with Keurig Dr Pepper bringing annual revenue of more than $15 billion and a portfolio of over 125 owned, licensed, and partner brands to the combined platform.Nature's Sunshine (NASDAQ: NATR) subsidiary Synergy Worldwide received recognition from Euromonitor International naming its Pro-Argi-9+ the world's number one L-arginine supplement based on 2024 retail sales value, reinforcing the product's growing global momentum in the health and wellness space. The flagship supplement features a unique formula combining L-arginine and L-citrulline to support nitric oxide production and promote healthy circulation throughout the body."Pro-Argi-9+ exemplifies Synergy's legacy of translating world-class science into life-changing wellness," said Kevin Fuller, Global Chief Marketing Officer. "Euromonitor International's recognition affirms Pro-Argi-9+ as the category-defining L-arginine supplement and a powerful catalyst for circulation, cardiovascular wellness, and overall vitality."Nature's Sunshine markets and distributes nutritional and personal care products in more than 40 countries, manufacturing most products through its own state-of-the-art facilities. The company remains committed to advancing innovation through its Synergy Worldwide division while empowering health through science-backed solutions.PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) announced it is lowering suggested retail prices by up to nearly 15% on many of its most popular snack brands including Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, and Tostitos, with new pricing rolling out across the United States ahead of the Super Bowl. The move comes as the company responds to consumer feedback about rising everyday costs making daily purchasing decisions more difficult."We've spent the past year listening closely to consumers, and they've told us they're feeling the strain," said Rachel Ferdinando, CEO, PepsiCo Foods U.S. "Lowering the suggested retail price reflects our commitment to help reduce the pressure where we can."The pricing change is part of PepsiCo's broader strategy to increase accessibility alongside ongoing portfolio refinements including the removal of artificial flavors and colors from Lay's and Tostitos. Retailers ultimately set their own prices, meaning shoppers may see even greater savings depending on the store.Splash Beverage Group (NYSE-A: SBEV) announced that Senor Frog's has selected Chispo Tequila as its house tequila across an initial group of locations in Florida, the Bahamas, and Mexico, marking the brand's first high-profile national hospitality partner.

So, Keurig has become passe, with all of those little plastic coffee pods. Maybe they will do better with Peet's. Some are calling for a 30% upside in stock price.

Wonder if CELH ,Celsius could be a Target Acquisition for KDP

Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (KDP) said Thursday its majority shareholder Acorn Holdings is planning to sell some of its shares in the company, a move that will increase the public float to about 20% of outstanding shares from a current 15%. Acorn said the decision was partly driven by KDP's request to provide additional liquidity. Acorn has already agreed to sell about 47 million shares through registered direct sales, boosting the public float to about 18%. "Acorn does not intend to sell any additional shares of KDP in the foreseeable future," the company said in a statement. KDP shares fell 1.1% in early trade, but have gained 52% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 4.7%.

Any new info on shares to DPS holders for the KDP stock?????????

Merger value seems to be around $40B+ BILLION Dollars via current DPS MCap and approx Keurig MCap since Acquisition a few years back.

*** Special $103 DIVIDEND ***
Could see $150 + share

Kerig Merger

This will be interesting.

Maybe time to buy a little, This move should consolidate management and make the stock move.

PLANO, Texas (AP) — Keurig is buying Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc., creating a beverage giant with about $11 billion in annual sales.
The companies, both the result of previous mergers, will bring under one tent global brands like Dr Pepper, 7UP, Snapple, A&W, Mott's, Sunkist and Keurig's single-serve coffee makers.
Keurig Green Mountain Inc. said Monday that Dr. Pepper Snapple shareholders will receive $103.75 per share in a special cash dividend and keep 13 percent of the combined company.
Shares of Dr. Pepper Snapple soared more than 36 percent before the opening bell Monday.
Keurig CEO Bob Gamgort will lead the new company, called Keurig Dr. Pepper.
The deal is expected to close in the second quarter. It still needs approval from Dr. Pepper Snapple shareholders.

Beverage Stocks Drop, Know This Institutional Buy Level

Today, two of the leading soft drink companies Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc.(NYSE:DPS) and PepsiCo Inc.(NYSE:PEP) are declining sharply lower after reporting earnings. Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc.(NYSE:DPS) is the bigger loser on the session falling by nearly 5.0 percent on the session. PepsiCo stock is down just 0.81 percent at this time.

Traders and investors that are looking to buy Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc.(NYSE:DPS) stock must now be patient. When a stock declines this sharply from its recent high there is usually more downside over the next few weeks. One level that looks very attractive for Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc.(NYSE:DPS) stock is the $87.00 area. This looks to be a level where the institutional money has defended the stock in the past and it will likely do it again should DPS stock fall to that support area.
