Insights

M&A and Corporate Finance Analyst

Asset sale for $14,967,190 with contingent, cash-flow-based installments.

Limoneira completed a signed-and-closed sale of Chilean citrus and related land assets for $14,967,190. Cash realization is staged: an initial $6,800,000 after the 60–90 day recording period, then installments tied to the excess free cash flows of the combined sold properties and the Buyer’s Fruticola Bellavista SpA, measured annually as of March 31.

This structure shifts part of consideration to performance-based payments, adding timing variability. A further amount equal to 50% of the prior year’s balance payment follows the final installment. Obligations are secured by a pledge of the Buyer’s corporate equity interests, which provides collateral support but still depends on future operating cash flows.

Key mechanics to track include the recording completion, the annual cash flow calculations, and the pledged equity security; actual receipt cadence will depend on the operations generating excess free cash flows.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
