Capital Contribution

On June 10, 2024, all operating partners of Citree received a funding notice relating to an additional Cash Capital Contribution (“Contribution”) requirement of $750, as a result of trees producing limited revenue as they continue to recover from Hurricane Ian. The Company’s and noncontrolling parties’ portions of the Contribution of $382 and $368, respectively, were funded on July 11, 2024.

On June 6, 2023, all operating partners of Citree received a funding notice relating to an additional Contribution requirement of $900 as a result of trees producing limited revenue due to the severity of the fruit drop resulting from Hurricane Ian, which negatively impacted both the box production and pounds solids. The Company’s portion of the Contribution was $460 and was funded on June 22, 2023. The remaining portion of the Contribution of $440 was funded by the noncontrolling parties.
