Mission Produce, Inc. adopted a shareholder rights plan by entering into a Rights Agreement with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC. The company declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right for each share of common stock outstanding at the close of business on February 4, 2026. Each right becomes exercisable if any person or group acquires, or launches a qualifying offer to acquire, 15% or more of the common stock, and then allows the holder to buy one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a $63.00 purchase price.
The rights expire on January 21, 2027, unless earlier redeemed by the board for $0.01 per right or exchanged for common shares. If a person becomes an acquiring person, other stockholders’ rights would let them acquire common stock (or, in some cases, stock of an acquiring company) with a market value equal to two times the purchase price, causing substantial dilution to the acquiring holder. Mission Produce has reserved 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred for potential issuance and states the plan is designed to ensure all stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in any proposed takeover and to deter coercive or partial bids.

The combined structure includes customary conditions such as shareholder approvals, antitrust clearances, Nasdaq listing of new Mission shares, and effectiveness of a Form S-4. The agreement also provides for mutual non-solicitation covenants, one Calavo director joining Mission’s board, and termination fees, including an approximately $12.87 million fee payable by Calavo in specified competing-offer scenarios and an approximately $15.02 million reverse termination fee payable by Mission if certain closing or regulatory conditions are not met.
