Holders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2022 will be entitled to participate, submit questions and vote at the annual meeting by following the instructions available on the virtual meeting website at http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CVGW2022 and using the 16-digit control number included in their proxy materials. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">Non-shareholders may attend the annual meeting as a guest but will not have the option to vote any shares or ask questions during the virtual meeting. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Cumulative Voting</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">Note that cumulative voting for directors will not be allowed via the live webcast.
