	Weiner v. Quaker Oats Co. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Quaker noted that [a]t the end of fiscal 1994, our total debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 68.8 percent on a book-value basis, in line with our guideline in the upper-60 percent range.
		Quaker then observed in its 1994 Annual Report, in a paragraph discussing the ratio guideline, that among other things"increased debt" had allowed the company to "acquire four businesses." Defendants do not argue that the 1993 announcement alerted investors to Quaker's potential acquisition of these four businesses.
		We recognize that it is quite likely that Quaker and Snapple had not yet agreed on the precise terms of their merger by the beginning of August 1994, or indeed even until shortly before the deal was announced on November 2 of that year.

		Quaker's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1993, which was filed with the SEC in November 1993, repeated the total debt-to-total capitalization ratio guideline:
		But plaintiffs do not argue that Quaker should have stated that the guideline would be adjusted "to finance an acquisition." The more relevant question is whether Quaker could have communicated a projected increase in the level of the total debt-to-total capitalization ratio guideline without alerting investors to the impending merger with Snapple.
		Quaker then observed in its 1994 Annual Report, in a paragraph discussing the ratio guideline, that among other things "increased debt" had allowed the company to "acquire four businesses." Defendants do not argue that the 1993 announcement alerted investors to Quaker's potential acquisition of these four businesses.

		Quaker Oats was born in a turn of the century merger between three Midwest milling companies; eventually it grew to be one of the top multi-national companies in the world.
		After a century of starting the day with a bowl of Quaker Oats, it is probably no coincidence that the brand maintains such a tight hold on the breakfast foods industry and enjoys such a wide recognition base.
		As long as Quaker Oats continues to promote its brand by adapting its core product with consumer tastes and lifestyles, and leverages its reputation for quality, health and reliability, there is little reason to believe that it won’t continue to be a leader in cereals, snacks and drink products for another hundred years.
