Monitor upcoming stockholder votes by both Mission Produce and Calavo, as well as developments with Mexican antitrust authorities, as these are the remaining critical path items for deal closure. The expiration of the HSR period reduces regulatory risk but does not guarantee completion.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Mission Produce announced the expiration of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) antitrust waiting period for its merger with Calavo Growers, satisfying a key regulatory condition. The transaction still requires stockholder approvals and Mexican antitrust clearance, with closing expected in the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2026.
Key Facts
- HSR antitrust waiting period expired on April 17, 2026, clearing a major regulatory hurdle for the Mission Produce-Calavo merger.
- Merger remains subject to additional closing conditions: approval from Mission Produce stockholders, Calavo shareholders, and Mexican antitrust authorities.
- Parties expect to complete the transaction in the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2026, assuming all conditions are met.
- The merger is structured as a two-step transaction where Calavo will first merge into a Mission Produce subsidiary, followed by a second merger into another subsidiary of Mission Produce.
Financial Impact
No immediate financial impact disclosed; transaction value not specified in this filing.
Risk Factors
- Failure to obtain required stockholder approvals from either company could terminate the merger.
- Mexican antitrust authorities may impose conditions or block the transaction.
- Integration risks and potential delays beyond the expected July 31, 2026 closing window.
