EMERYVILLE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Jun. 18, 2013 - Jamba, Inc. (NASDAQ: JMBA) today announced that CanBa Investments LLC (“CanBa Investments”), who originally purchased 134,348 shares of the Company's Series B-2 Preferred Stock in June of 2009 with its investment of $15.45 million at the time, has converted the remainder of its shares of outstanding preferred stock into common stock. As a result, as of June 14, 2013, the Company will no longer have the 8% annual dividend expense.

White, Chairman, President and CEO of Jamba, Inc. “The investment in 2009 allowed us greater financial flexibility to execute our BLEND Plan and also provided us great support and guidance from CanBa and Mistral.
