Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 6, 2001, Northland Cranberries, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation
(the "Company"), issued a press release (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit
99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K) announcing (i) a one-for-four reverse
stock split effective as of the close of business on November 5, 2001 to
facilitate a potential debt and equity restructuring, (ii) the voluntary
delisting of its Class A Common Stock from trading on the Nasdaq National Market
effective as of the close of business on November 5, 2001 and (iii) the
commencement of trading of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the
over-the-counter bulletin board on November 6, 2001 under new trading symbol
"NRCNA."
Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, there
were 20,338,423 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued and
outstanding. Immediately following the effectiveness of the reverse stock split
and without taking into account shares that may be issued in connection with a
potential debt and equity restructuring, there will be approximately 5,086,105
shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding (this number is
approximate because fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split
will be rounded up to the next whole share). There can be no assurance that any
such restructuring transaction will be consummated or on what terms or
conditions.
