Mission Produce agreed to acquire Calavo Growers through a two-step merger structure. For each share of Calavo common stock, holders are expected to receive 0.9790 Mission Produce shares plus $14.85 in cash, with cash paid instead of any fractional Mission shares. The deal is structured so the stock portion of the total value is intended to be at least 43%, and if needed, part of the cash will be replaced with additional Mission shares at an agreed price to support tax treatment as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
All outstanding Calavo stock options, restricted stock units and deferred RSUs will vest (if unvested) and be cancelled at closing in exchange for cash based on the combined cash-and-stock merger value, with underwater options cancelled for no payment. One independent Calavo director will join Mission’s board in the class with the longest remaining term. Closing requires shareholder approvals at both companies, antitrust and other regulatory clearances, Nasdaq listing of new Mission shares and effectiveness of a Form S-4 registration statement.
The agreement includes a termination fee of approximately $12.87 million payable by Calavo to Mission in specified deal-failure scenarios and a reverse termination fee of approximately $15.02 million payable by Mission to Calavo if the merger cannot close due to timing or blocking regulatory orders after other conditions are satisfied.
