WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On January 17, 2024, Calavo issued a press release announcing it would file a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. In addition, 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, Calavo’s stock price fell $2.48 per share, or 8.54%, to close at $26.57 per share on January 17, 2024.
Then, on January 31, 2024, Calavo issued a press release announcing the Special Committee’s investigation results. The press release stated that “certain of those matters related to the Company’s operations in Mexico raised potential issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). The Company has voluntarily disclosed this ongoing internal investigation to the SEC and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and the Company intends to fully cooperate with the SEC and the DOJ in connection with these matters.”
On this news, Calavo’s stock price fell $1.59 per share, or 6.09%, to close at $24.50 per share on February 1, 2024.
