Kalera Public Limited Company and Agrico Acquisition Corporation Announce Closing of Business Combination and listing on NASDAQ
ORLANDO, Fla., June 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kalera Public Limited Company ( “Kalera”) (NASDAQ: KAL) and Agrico Acquisition Corp. (“Agrico”) today announced the completion of their previously announced business combination. The combined company will retain the Kalera name and will commence trading on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol “KAL” on Wednesday, June 29, 2022. The business combination was approved at a special meeting of shareholders on June 28, 2022.
Jim Leighton, Kalera’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “Today is an incredibly proud moment and a milestone for the entire Kalera team. We founded Kalera with the goal of increasing access to the freshest and cleanest produce for a growing global population faced with climate change, reduction of fertile farmland, and soil erosion. Today’s announcement is another step in making that vision a reality, reflecting years of innovation and focus. The closing of this combination will accelerate widespread commercial growth across all our nutritious products while enabling us to embark on the next phase of our journey as a public company to solidify our position as a market leader.”
Agrico’s Chief Executive Officer, Brent De Jong, said “Kalera is unrivaled in its technology and ability to deliver healthy and nutritious produce for consumers around the globe. As a public company, Kalera will have the platform to fully execute against its vision, further accelerate its commercial programs and expand its growing portfolio and position in the market. We are excited about the future and continuing to work alongside Jim and the entire management team in its public phase.”
Kalera greens are pesticide-free and non-GMO, offering consumers fresh, clean, great-tasting lettuce. The climate-controlled environments at Kalera facilities allow for sustainable farming methods, such as water recycling and optimization of plant nutrient formulas that maximize production.
