Lebedyansky pays dividends for 2006

The company paid US$22.5m at $1.1 per share.

 The Russian juice company hit the headlines last week, when
local reports claimed it was in talks with PepsiCo over a possible
takeover. The reports said that PepsiCo was discussing taking a 76% stake in
Lebedyansky from its majority shareholders in a deal worth over US$1.5bn.
PepsiCo declined to comment on the rumours, although a spokesperson for
Lebedyansky denied that any talks were taking place.
The reports claimed that a deal between the two could be
signed as early as next month, with the deal set to complete before the end of
the year.
