On August 19, 2020, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jean Reed Adams, the wife of our late founder, Fred R. Adams, Jr. (“Mr. Adams”), and a trust of which the four daughters of Mr. Adams, Luanne Adams, Nancy Adams Briggs, Laurel Adams Krodel, and Dinnette Adams Baker, are beneficiaries (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”) and BofA Securities Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), in connection with the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders of 6,000,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $39.00 per share in an underwritten public offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Stockholders granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares (the “Option Shares” and, together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) of common stock on the same terms and conditions. On August 20, 2020, the Underwriters exercised their option to purchase the Option Shares in full. The sale of the Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement was completed on August 24, 2020. The Company did not offer or sell any shares in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.
The Underwriting Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities on customary terms. The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The offer and sale of the Shares was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-227742), including the Prospectus contained therein dated October 9, 2018, and a related Prospectus Supplement dated August 19, 2020, each of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
