Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

The Board of Directors of Calavo Growers, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), amended the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective as of September 25, 2014, to change the advance notice requirements to bring shareholder business and nominations before the annual meeting of the shareholders. The Bylaw amendment, which is set forth in a new Section 2.12, requires that a shareholder notify the Company at least 90 days in advance of the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting of his or her intention to nominate a director or to present a proposal at the meeting. The Board of Directors amended Section 2.06 of the Bylaws by deleting the provisions that had required only 30 days advance notice of an intention to nominate a director. The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws reflecting these amendments are filed with this report as Exhibit 3.4, and the above description is qualified by reference to that document.
