On January 17, 2024, Calavo disclosed in a press release that it would file a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. Calavo stated “[t]he Company’s internal audit process identified to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors certain matters that the Board of Directors determined after fiscal year end merited enhanced evaluation. The Board of Directors promptly established a Special Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”) to evaluate these matters, and if it deemed appropriate, commence an investigation. The Special Committee, with the assistance of outside counsel, commenced an internal investigation into these matters. As part of this internal investigation, the Special Committee determined that certain matters relating to the Company’s operations in Mexico merited further investigation in connection with the completion of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023.” On this news, the price of Calavo shares declined by $2.48 per share, or approximately 8.54%, from $29.05 per share on January 16, 2024 to close at $26.57 on January 17, 2024.
