Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In addition to the Stock Purchase Agreement described under Item 8.01 below, on June 2, 2005, Angostura, Ltd. (“Angostura”), the controlling stockholder of Cruzan International, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an agreement whereby, in recognition of the services of Jay Maltby, Ezra Shashoua and Tom Valdes, as well as other members of the Company’s management (such other members to be determined in the absolute discretion of Messrs. Maltby, Valdes and Shashoua), Angostura or an affiliate of Angostura committed to pay the above-mentioned individuals a total of nine million dollars ($9,000,000) without set-off or withholding of any kind if the Stock Purchase Agreement is consummated and upon receipt by Angostura of the purchase price under the Stock Purchase Agreement. This payment is a bonus payable by Angostura and not by the Company (and conveys no obligation to the Company to make such payment).

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 3, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing that on June 2, 2005, Angostura entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, effective as of June 3, 2005, with V&S Vin & Sprit AB, the Swedish based international wine and spirits company (“V&S”), pursuant to which V&S agreed to purchase Angostura’s controlling interest in the Company.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, V&S agreed to purchase all 4,294,583 shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by Angostura (currently representing approximately 67.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock) for an aggregate consideration of $121,837,320.00, or $28.37 per share. The Stock Purchase Agreement is subject to normal closing conditions, including the approval of the board of directors of the Company. In connection with such approval and any other related issues, the Company’s board of directors has appointed a special committee of independent directors. The purchase and sale is expected to close on or before September 30, 2005. V&S has announced that it intends to offer the Company’s minority stockholders equitable treatment. The Company expects to continue to operate with its current management and, until the closing date, its current board of directors.

A copy of the press release relating to the foregoing is set forth as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
