Craft Brew Alliance, Inc. (“CBA”) (Nasdaq: BREW), a leading
craft brewing company, announced today the appointments of two new
members to the company’s Board of Directors, effective January 1,
2017. Nickolas A. Mills and Michael R. Taylor will fill two
vacancies on CBA’s Board, including one vacancy arising from the
departure of Thomas D. Larson, effective December 31, 2016.
“We are pleased to welcome Nick and Michael to CBA’s Board of
Directors,” said David Lord, Chairman, Craft Brew Alliance Board of
Directors. “Given CBA’s ongoing evolution and acceleration of its
Kona Plus strategy, which combines leading national and lifestyle
brands with distinctive regional owned and partner breweries, this
is an ideal time to gain two beer industry veterans with specific
experience creating operating efficiencies and shareholder value. I
also want to thank Tom for his many years of service on the Board
and dedication to CBA.”
Mr. Mills currently serves as a Vice President for The High End
at Anheuser-Busch (A-B). His professional career at A-B includes
the roles of Senior Brewmaster and Senior General Manager at the
Baldwinsville Brewery, where he produced a wide variety of beer
styles, including Goose Island and Blue Point beers, flavored malt
beverages, and ciders. His prior experience includes various
brewing positions in St. Louis, MO, Merrimack, NH, and
Jacksonville, FL.
Mr. Taylor serves as a Vice President for the North America Zone
of Anheuser-Busch, where he has been responsible for business
development and partnerships for the U.S. and Canadian business
units since December 2010. Since joining A-B in 2004, Mr. Taylor
has held various roles in finance and real estate. Previously, he
held various roles in accounting, treasury, M&A, and investor
relations in other industries.
As part of CBA’s Amended and Restated Exchange and
Recapitalization Agreement with Anheuser-Busch, LLC, A-B may
designate two individuals as directors of CBA. Since September
2015, the sole A-B designee was Mr. Larson, who became a director
in July 2011 after serving as lead internal counsel for all
transactions between A-B and CBA since 1994.
