On March 19, 2026, Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (the “Company” or “FDP”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Del Monte Foods Holdings Limited and certain of its affiliates (collectively “Del Monte Foods”) that amended the asset purchase agreement by and between the Company and Del Monte Foods, dated February 6, 2026 (the “Original Asset Purchase Agreement,” and as amended by the Amendment, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Amendment amended the Original Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide for the inclusion of additional contracts in the Purchased Contracts and Excluded Contracts schedules; (ii) update the schedule of Del Monte Foods’ employees that were offered employment by FDP or its designee and clarify the benefits to be provided to such employees, (iii) provide for the assumption of certain additional liabilities by FDP, (iv) clarify the post-closing obligations of the parties with respect to certain intercompany loans and Purchased Entities, (v) confirm the obligations of Del Monte Foods with respect to a pre-closing cybersecurity incident, and (vi) make other non-material revisions.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire (i) the prepared and packaged foods businesses of Del Monte Foods comprising canned vegetable, tomato, and refrigerated fruit business assets operated under the Del Monte^®, S&W^®, and Contadina^® trademarks, (ii) four US facilities, two facilities in Mexico, and one facility in Venezuela and (iii) global ownership of the Del Monte^® brand, which is subject to existing licensing arrangements across different regions and categories (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed on March 19, 2026 (the “Closing Date”) and the Company paid $285 plus certain assumed liabilities, funded through a combination of cash on hand and availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

A description of the material terms of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement can be found in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2026, which description is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company is still evaluating the significance of the Acquisition, and the foregoing disclosure shall not be deemed an admission that the significance of the Acquisition requires it to be disclosed in Item 2.01 or that any financial statements are required to be included herein.

On the Closing Date, the Company issued a press release announcing the consummation of the Acquisition. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Item 7.01 on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
