Our existing Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association were adopted in 1997 and consequently do not reflect subsequent
changes in Cayman Islands law or corporate governance trends and contain many hold-over provisions that are not applicable once we became a public company. Approval of our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is a
routine matter under NYSE Rule 452 as it does not (i) authorize or create a preferred stock or increase the authorized amount of an existing preferred stock, (ii) alter the terms or conditions of existing stock, (iii) involve a waiver
or modification of preemptive rights, (iv) change existing quorum requirements with respect to stockholder meetings, (v) alter voting provisions or the proportionate voting power of a stock, or the number of its votes per share, or
(vi) change the purposes or powers of the company.
What if I sign and return my proxy without making any selections?
If you sign and return your proxy without making any selections, your shares will be voted FOR each of the director nominees in Proposal 1 and
FOR Proposals 2, 3, and 4. If other matters properly come before the meeting, the proxy holders will have the authority to vote on those matters for you at their discretion.
How do I change my vote?
A shareholder of record
may revoke his or her proxy by giving written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary, Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., c/o Del Monte Fresh Produce Company, 241 Sevilla Avenue, Coral Gables, Florida 33134, before the meeting, by delivering a
later-dated proxy (either in writing, by telephone or over the Internet), provided that the new proxy card is received by Computershare Investor Services, P.O. Box 505000, Louisville, Kentucky, 40233 by 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on May 4,
2021, or by attending and voting at the virtual-only Annual Meeting.
If your shares are held in street name, you may change your vote by following your
brokers or other nominees procedures for revoking or changing your proxy.
What shares are covered by my proxy card?
Your proxy reflects all shares owned by you at the close of business on March 10, 2021.
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, you should sign and return
each proxy card. Alternatively, if you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you will need to vote once for each proxy card and voting instruction card you receive.
Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
Only
shareholders as of the March 10, 2021, the record date, and our invited guests are permitted to attend the Annual Meeting. If you held your Ordinary Shares as of the record date as a shareholder of record, then you or your proxyholder may
attend the virtual-only Annual Meeting, participate, vote, ask questions, and examine a list of the shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting by accessing www.meetingcenter.io/235586395 and entering the 15-digit control number on your proxy card and entering FDP2021 as the meeting password.
If you held your Ordinary
Shares as of the record date in street name through an intermediary, like a broker or a bank, you must register in advance to attend the virtual-only Annual Meeting. To register, you must obtain a legal proxy, executed in your favor,
from the record holder of your Ordinary Shares and submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of Ordinary Shares you held on the record date, as described above under Access Instructions.
