Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE: FDP), (“Fresh Del Monte” or the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase plan pursuant to which Fresh Del Monte may repurchase up to 500,000 of its Ordinary Shares. Shares may be repurchased through open market purchases, unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions, or in such other manner as will comply with the terms of applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All Ordinary Shares repurchased will be retired.

The new plan has no time deadline and will continue until otherwise modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time in its sole discretion. Share repurchases may be made from time to time and the actual amount repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, regulatory and legal requirements, cash flow and liquidity needs and other factors. The share repurchases may be made in both open market and privately negotiated transactions and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. Repurchases would be funded from cash on hand and availability under the Company's revolving credit facility.
