Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

Effective November 11, 2011, Calavo Growers, Inc. (“we” or “the Company”), and Farm Credit West, PCA, entered into three agreements: (1) Second Amendment to Term Revolving Credit Agreement which amended our existing credit facility, (2) Second Amendment to Term Loan Agreement, which amended our existing term loan, and (3) Second Amendment to Promissory Note, which amended our existing promissory note related to such term loan.

The amendments related to our credit facility and our term loan simply adjust the various financial covenants, the most significant relating to tangible net worth (as defined), Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined) and Current Ratio (as defined), to match those as shown in our credit facility and term loan with Bank of America, N.A. (“BoA”) A discussion of our credit facility and term loan with BoA can be found in Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant in our 8-K filed on October 6, 2011.

The amendment related to the promissory note simply changes the payment terms to a fixed principal amount per month, with the corresponding interest calculated on a monthly basis, rather than a fixed principal and interest payment per month.

The preceding discussion is qualified by reference to the related agreements, which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein.

 

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

10.1    Amendment No. 2 to Term Revolving Credit Agreement dated October 31, 2011 between Farm Credit West, PCA and Calavo Growers, Inc.
10.2    Amendment No. 2 to Term Loan Agreement dated October 31, 2011 between Farm Credit West, PCA and Calavo Growers, Inc.
