DEL MONTE CORP

In considering each director nominee for the Annual General Meeting, the Board and the Governance Committee evaluate such person’s background, qualifications, attributes and skills to serve as a director. The Board and the Governance Committee also evaluate each of the director’s contributions to the Board and role in the operation of the Board as a whole.

Consideration of Director Nominees. The Governance Committee considers possible candidates for nominees for directors from many sources, including management and shareholders. The Governance Committee evaluates the suitability of potential candidates nominated by shareholders in the same manner as director nominees and other candidates recommended to the Governance Committee, in accordance with the following criteria:

•

their reputation for honesty and ethical conduct in their personal and professional activities and their strength of character and judgment;

•

their ability and willingness to devote sufficient time to Board duties;

•

their educational and industry background, as well as their business and professional achievements and experience, particularly in light of the Company’s business and its size, complexity and strategic challenges and whether they have demonstrated, by significant accomplishment in their fields, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Board’s oversight of the business and affairs of the Company;

•

their potential contribution to the diversity and culture of the Board; and

•

their independence from management under requirements of applicable law and listing standards.

In connection with the selection of any new director nominee, the Governance Committee will assess the skills and experience of the Board, as a whole, and of each of the individual directors. The Governance Committee will then seek to identify those qualifications and experience sought in any new candidate in light of the criteria described above that will maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and skills on the Board and produce an effective Board. The Governance Committee has the authority to engage the services of executive search firms to assist the Governance Committee and the Board in identifying and evaluating potential director candidates. Following the identification of director candidates, such individuals will be interviewed by the Chairman and CEO and a majority of the Governance Committee members. The Governance Committee will consider the results of the interviews and will decide whether to recommend, and the Board will decide whether to approve, the candidate’s appointment as a director.

While the Board does not have a formal diversity policy, as a matter of practice, the Board considers diversity in the context of the Board as a whole and takes into account, among other factors, considerations relating to ethnicity, gender, cultural diversity and the range of perspectives that the directors bring to their work.

Shareholder Nominations of Director Candidates. Our Governance Committee has adopted policies addressing the procedures by which shareholders may recommend director nominees. A shareholder desiring the Governance Committee to consider any person for nomination for election to the Board must deliver a written submission to the Governance Committee in care of the Secretary, Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., c/o Del Monte Fresh Produce Company, 241 Sevilla Avenue, Coral Gables, Florida 33134. Such submission must include (i) the candidate’s name and contact information; (ii) a detailed resume of the candidate and a statement explaining the qualifications of the candidate that, in the view of the candidate and/or the shareholder, would make such person a suitable director and a description of the candidate’s reasons for seeking election as a director, which description must include any plans or proposals that such person or the shareholder may have that relate to, or would result in any of the actions described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act; (iii) a statement of whether the candidate meets applicable law and listing requirements pertaining to director independence; (iv) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and other material relationships, between or among the candidate, the shareholder (and/or any beneficial owner on whose behalf the recommendation is made) and its affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and the candidate and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith; (v) any information relating to the candidate, the shareholder and their respective affiliates or associates that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy solicitation for the election of directors of the Company pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act or otherwise be required to be provided pursuant to our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association; and (vi) the written consent of the candidate to serve as a director, if elected.

The submission should include an undertaking to submit to the Secretary of the Company a statement amending any of the foregoing information promptly after any material change occurs in such information as previously submitted. The Governance Committee may require additional information from the nominee to perform its evaluation of the eligibility of the nominee to serve as an independent director of the Company or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee. In addition to the foregoing, any nomination by a shareholder of any person for election to the Board must comply with the advance notice requirements of our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. For more information regarding the advance notice requirements, see “Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations for 2026 Annual General Meeting” in this proxy statement.
