[{"type":"text","content":"SANTA PAULA, Calif., April 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calavo Growers, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: CVGW), a global avocado-industry leader and expanding provider of value-added fresh food, today announced that due to public meeting restrictions and continued public health concerns related to the spread of COVID-19, the Company will provide its shareholders with a conference line and live audio webcast access for its 2020 annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 at 1:00 pm Pacific Time. The meeting will consist of the formal business portion of the meeting only and the Company is offering this alternative way for shareholders to obtain meeting information without attending in person. \n Shareholders interested in joining the live call can dial (877) 407-3982 from the U.S. International callers can dial (201) 493-6780. A telephone replay will be available approximately two hours after the call concludes and will be available through Wednesday, May 6, 2020, by dialing (844) 512-2921 from the U.S., or (412) 317-6671 from international locations; passcode is 13701885. A live audio webcast will also be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s web site at ir.calavo.com. Joining the live call or webcast will not result in a shareholder being deemed present at the meeting, nor will it provide shareholders with the ability to vote their shares over the phone or internet. For any shareholders who plan to attend the meeting in person, the Company will, to the extent practical, employ “social distancing” and limit physical interaction as recommended by public health authorities. Whether or not a shareholder plans to access the live call or webcast of the Annual Meeting, the Company urges all shareholders to vote and submit their proxies in advance of the Annual Meeting using one of the methods described in its proxy materials. In the election of directors, shareholders may elect to cumulate their votes. While registered shareholders can do so on their proxy cards, any beneficial shareholder who normally attends the meeting and wishes to vote cumulatively using a legal proxy should contact Calavo’s Inspector of Elections, Christopher J. Woods of American Election Services, Inc., at [email protected]. Shareholders are encouraged to read the Company’s proxy statement carefully. All i...
