GENESEE CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
DELAY IN SALE OF BREWING BUSINESS
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, November 1, 2000 -- Genesee Corporation (NASDAQ/NMS: GENBB)
today announced that it does not expect the management buy-out of its Genesee
Brewing Company subsidiary to be completed until December. The Corporation
attributed the delay in closing to the buyer's need for additional time to
complete its financing arrangements and obtain all required permits and
licenses.
NOTE: Statements made in this news release regarding the timing of the sale of
the Corporation's brewing business are forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
and there can be no assurance that the expectations reflected in those
statements will be realized or achieved. Such risks and uncertainties include,
without limitation, the failure of the proposed transaction to close for
whatever reasons, further negotiation of terms and conditions, the failure of
the purchaser of the brewing business to obtain financing necessary to
consummate the transaction, the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals
and third party consents, and the possibility that a delay in resolving such
conditions could jeopardize the transaction.
