Note 12. Subsequent Event

On January 28, 2013, Atlanticblue informed Alico of their intention, in light of recent changes in the tax code relating to the sale of certain assets by "subchapter S corporations" such as ABG, to explore the potential sale of substantially all of their assets during the 2013 calendar year and to actively pursue the sale of their entire equity position in Alico to a strategic or financial buyer. Atlanticblue also filed an amended Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2013 announcing their intentions.

The Board of Directors of Alico has formed a Special Committee comprised of its independent Directors to explore working cooperatively with Atlanticblue, to investigate all transaction possibilities and to protect the interests of all shareholders. The Special Committee will retain the services of key financial and legal advisors to assist them in evaluating these possibilities
