The discussion below in Item 2.03 is hereby incorporated by reference into
this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Effective July 31, 2009, Calavo Growers, Inc. ("we" or "the Company"), and
Bank of America, N.A. ("BoA"), entered into an agreement, Amendment No. 2 to
Loan Agreement (the "Agreement"), which amends our existing credit facility with
BoA. Under the terms of the Agreement, we are advanced funds for working capital
purposes. Total credit available under the borrowing agreement is now
$15 million, up from $10 million and now expires on July 1, 2011. This increase
was at our request and not due to any immediate cash flows needs. The credit
facility contains various financial covenants, the most significant relating to
working capital, tangible net worth (as defined), and Funded Debt to Earnings
Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) ratio (as
defined).
The preceding discussion is qualified by reference to the Agreement, which
is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein.
