Explanatory Note

This Amendment to the Form 8-K filed on October 7, 2020 (the “Original Report”) corrects an inadvertent error in the signature page of the Original Report. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A does not amend the Original Report in any other way.

On October 5, 2020, Mission Produce, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the closing of the initial public offering of shares of its common stock. The Company’s board of directors and stockholders previously approved the Amended and Restated Certificate to be filed in connection with the closing of the initial public offering. The Amended and Restated Certificate became effective on October 5, 2020.

The Amended and Restated Certificate amends and restates the Company’s certificate of incorporation in its entirety to, among other things: (i) increase the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares; (ii) increase the authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock to 100,000,000 shares, which may be issued from time to time by the Company’s board of directors in one or more series; (iii) prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors; (iv) eliminate the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders; (v) establish a classified board of directors, divided into three classes, each of whose members will serve for staggered three-year terms; (vi) designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware to be the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions, including, but not limited to, derivative actions or proceedings brought on behalf of the Company or actions asserting claims of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s directors, officers or stockholders to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, provided that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to actions for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, including actions brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder; and (vii) designate the federal district courts of the United States of America to be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The foregoing description of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate is qualified by reference to the Amended and Restated Certificate, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On October 5, 2020, in connection with the closing of the initial public offering, the amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), previously approved by the Company’s board of directors to become effective in connection with closing of the initial public offering, became effective. The Amended and Restated Bylaws amend and restate the Company’s bylaws in their entirety to, among other things: (i) establish procedures relating to the presentation of stockholder proposals at stockholder meetings; (ii) establish procedures relating to the nomination of directors; and (iii) conform to the amended provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate.

The foregoing description of the amendments made by the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On October 5, 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $12.00 per share.
