On November 10, 2016, Met issued a Partial Release of Mortgage removing their lien on approximately 8,640 acres of ranch land in Hendry County, Florida. There was no price charged for the release. The release was recorded on November 28, 2016.

On December 1, 2016, the Silver Nip Citrus debt agreements with Prudential were amended. The primary terms of the amendments were (1) the Company provided a limited $8,000,000 guaranty of the Silver Nip debt, (2) the limited personal guarantees previously provided by George Brokaw, Remy Trafelet and Clayton Wilson also totaling $8,000,000 were released and (3) the required consolidated current ratio was reduced from 1.50 to 1.00 to 1.00 to 1.00 for covenant compliance purposes. The personal guarantees were provided prior to the Company’s Merger with Silver Nip Citrus.

In December 2016, the Company reached an agreement in principle to sell 49 acres of land and facilities in Hendry County, Florida for $2,200,000. The property, known as Alico Plant World, is currently leased to a vegetable nursery operator. The buyer is an affiliate of the tenant. The anticipated sales price exceeds its net book value and no impairment will be recognized.

Alico Inc. has begun to realign its management structure to optimize the financial returns on the assets of its Orange Co. and Conservation and Environmental Resources operating segments. Remy W. Trafelet will become President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on January 1, 2017. He has led the Company’s Executive Committee as Chairman since 2013. George Brokaw will become Executive Vice Chairman for the Company while Hank Slack will serve Executive Chairman. Clay Wilson will step down as Chief Executive Officer on December 31, 2016.
