As of the March 16, 2026 record date, 70,846,364 shares were outstanding, and 49,834,743 shares, about 70% of those entitled to vote, were represented, establishing a quorum. The share issuance proposal passed with 49,222,202 votes for, 605,041 against, and 7,500 abstentions. An adjournment proposal received 49,075,279 votes for, 751,406 against, and 8,058 abstentions but was not needed because sufficient votes were already obtained. The parties expect to close the mergers in the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Mission Produce, Inc. reported that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 for its planned merger with Calavo Growers, Inc. expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 17, 2026, satisfying one key regulatory condition for closing. The transaction involves a two-step structure where Calavo will first become a wholly owned subsidiary of Mission Produce and then merge into another Mission Produce subsidiary. The deal still requires Mission Produce stockholder approval, Calavo shareholder approval, and clearance from Mexico’s antitrust authorities, along with other customary closing conditions. Subject to these remaining approvals and conditions, the companies expect to complete the mergers in the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2026.
Mission Produce, Inc. is providing supplemental information about potential Mexican taxes related to its planned merger with Calavo Growers, Inc. Based on its analysis to date, Mission Produce believes any one-time Mexican transfer tax due after closing the mergers will not exceed $5 million.
The update clarifies previously disclosed risk factors in the joint proxy statement/prospectus for the stockholder votes on the mergers. Mission Produce and Calavo also reiterate standard forward-looking statement and no-offer disclaimers, and direct investors to the existing joint proxy statement/prospectus and related SEC filings for full transaction details.
