    In determining independence, the Board reviews whether directors

    issues from the director&#146;s standpoint and from the
    perspective of the persons or organizations with which the
    director has an affiliation and is guided by the standards set
    forth below. The Board reviews commercial, industrial, banking,

    The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that members of

    ethics and values, consistent with longstanding Calavo values

    carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical

    The Nominating and Governance Committee utilizes a variety of
    methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director.
    The Nominating and Governance Committee will periodically assess
    the appropriate size of the Board and whether any vacancies on
    the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the
    event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the
    Nominating and Governance Committee will consider various
    potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the
    attention of the Nominating and Governance Committee through
    current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders
    or other persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular
    or special meetings of the Nominating and Governance Committee,
    and may be considered at any point during the year. As described
    above, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers
    shareholder nominations for candidates for the Board. If any
    materials are provided by a shareholder in connection with the
    nomination of a director candidate, such materials will be
    forwarded to the Nominating and Governance Committee. The
    Nominating and Governance Committee will also review materials
    provided by professional search firms or other parties in
    connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a shareholder.

    exercise price of $9.10&#160;per share and a term of
