| Trade date | Insider | Role | Shares | Value | Avg price | Insider type |

Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- Fresh Fruit: This segment encompasses our market-leading, vertically integrated production and distribution of bananas, pineapples and plantains primarily.
- For products that can be supplied from the same geographic locations year-round, we implement a vertically integrated model, combining significant investments in owned production in key sourcing countries with complimentary grower relationships in those areas.
- We support our vertically integrated business model with a valuable infrastructure and asset portfolio, including approximately 112,000 acres of farms and other land holdings worldwide.
- In 2025, we launched our proprietary Colada Royale™ pineapple variety, conventionally bred by Dole to offer a unique taste featuring hints of coconut and piña colada.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations can result in requirements to cease noncompliant operations, incurrence of additional capital or operating expenses to correct violations, or the assessment of significant fines and penalties.
- Changes in immigration laws could impact the availability of labor to harvest our products and operate our manufacturing plants, or the availability of produce purchased from third party suppliers.
- Climate change laws and regulatory requirements could have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
- Litigation and regulatory enforcement concerning marketing and labeling of food products could adversely affect our business and reputation.
