[{"type":"text","content":"SANTA PAULA, Calif., April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calavo Growers, Inc. (“Calavo”) (“Company”) (Nasdaq-GS: CVGW), a global leader in the avocado and value-added fresh food industries, today reminded shareholders that due to continued public health concerns related to the spread of COVID-19, the Company will provide its shareholders with the capability to attend its 2021 annual shareholder meeting virtually. The meeting will consist only of the formal business portion and the Company is offering the virtual alternative as a way for shareholders to have essentially the same meeting experience without attending in person. The annual meeting will be held at 1:00 pm Pacific Time on April 21, 2021. Holders of record at the close of business on February 22, 2021 will be entitled to participate, submit questions and vote at the annual meeting by following the instructions available on the virtual meeting website at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CVGW2021 and using the 16-digit control number included in their proxy materials. Non-shareholders may attend the annual meeting as a guest but will not have the option to vote any shares or ask questions during the virtual meeting. Cumulative VotingNote that cumulative voting for directors will not be allowed via the live webcast. Shareholders who wish to vote cumulatively for directors should provide proxy instructions before the Annual Meeting at www.proxyvote.com. Shareholders will be able to vote cumulatively for directors in person at the Annual Meeting, but there will be no difference in the tallying of cumulative votes for directors provided through instructing a proxy in advance at www.proxyvote.com compared to voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders need not attend the Annual Meeting in person simply to vote cumulatively for directors. 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. Shareholders are encouraged to read the Company’s proxy statement carefully. All information included in the proxy statement remains unchanged except with respect to the matters set forth herein.
