Item 5.08.
Shareholder Director Nominations.
On February 21, 2019, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Alico, Inc. (the "Company") set February 22, 2019 as the record date for shareholders eligible to vote at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders (the "2019 Annual Meeting") which will be held on April 11, 2019 at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, 51 West 52 Street, New York, New York 10019.
Because the 2019 Annual Meeting will be held more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company's 2018 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company is providing the due date for submission of any qualified shareholder proposal or qualified shareholder nominations.  In accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) and Rule 14a-8(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Company's amended and restated bylaws (the "Bylaws"), the deadline for receipt of shareholder proposals or nominations for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 will now be no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 4, 2019, which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send proxy materials for the 2019 Annual Meeting.  Shareholder proposals must comply with all of the applicable requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and the Bylaws.
