Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Alico, Inc., referred to as Alico, reflect the December 2, 2014 acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Orange-Co, LP, or Orange-Co, including approximately 20,263 acres of citrus groves in DeSoto and Charlotte Counties and a 51% ownership interest in Citree Holdings 1, LLC but excluding certain retained assets and liabilities, for approximately $282,000,000 in a transaction we refer to as the Orange-Co Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements also reflect certain financing transactions related to the Orange-Co Acquisition, which had the effect of refinancing Alico’s previously outstanding term loan and Orange-Co’s term and working capital indebtedness, with (1) a new credit facility entered into with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and New England Life Insurance Company, referred to as the MetLife Agreement, providing for term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $182,500,000 and $25,000,000 in revolving credit commitments, and (2) a new credit agreement with Rabo Agrifinance, Inc., referred to as the Rabo Credit Agreement, providing a $70,000,000 revolving working capital line of credit (of which approximately $28,365,000 was drawn at the closing of the Orange-Co Acquisition).
In addition to the Orange-Co Acquisition, the following completed and probable transactions are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements:
| • | On November 21, 2014 Alico sold approximately 36,000 acres of land used for sugarcane production and land leasing in Hendry County, Florida to Global Ag Properties USA, LLC for total gross proceeds of approximately $97,900,000 million, which we refer to as the Sugarcane Disposition; |
| • | On December 2, 2014, Alico entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (also referred to as the Merger Agreement) with 734 Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alico (also referred to as Merger Sub), 734 Citrus Holdings, LLC (also referred to as Silver Nip Citrus) and, solely with respect to certain sections thereof, the equity holders of Silver Nip Citrus. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Silver Nip Citrus, with Silver Nip Citrus surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alico. We refer to this as the Merger. We anticipate a closing date for the Merger on or about March 1, 2015. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with GAAP and applicable requirements of the SEC.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income combine the historical consolidated statements of income of Alico and Orange-Co for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, and of Silver Nip Citrus for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, giving effect to the Orange-Co Acquisition, Sugarcane Disposition and Merger as if they had occurred on October 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets combine the respective balance sheets of Alico and Orange-Co as of September 30, 2014, and of Silver Nip Citrus as of June 30, 2014, giving effect to the Orange-Co Acquisition, Sugarcane Disposition and Merger as if they occurred effective September 30, 2014.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of this report.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary purchase price allocations and, in the case of the Merger, an estimated purchase price. Alico based these estimates on available information and assumptions it believes to be reasonable. Therefore the amounts in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are subject to change. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what Alico’s consolidated results of operations or financial position would have actually been, had the Orange-Co Acquisition in fact occurred on such dates, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial position of Alico for any future period or date.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A—Orange-Co Acquisition
On December 2, 2014, Alico completed the acquisition of certain citrus and related assets of Orange-Co pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, which we refer to as the Orange-Co Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014. The assets Alico purchased include approximately 20,263 acres of citrus groves in DeSoto and Charlotte Counties, Florida, which comprise one of the largest contiguous citrus grove properties in the state of Florida. The purchase price was approximately $282,000,000 including: (1) $147,500,000 in initial cash consideration, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Orange-Co Purchase Agreement; (2) up to $7,500,000 in additional cash consideration to be released from escrow in equal parts, subject to certain limitations, on December 1, 2015 and June 1, 2016; (3) the refinancing of Orange-Co’s outstanding debt including approximately $91,200,000 in term debt and a working capital facility of approximately $27,800,000 and (4) the assumption of certain other liabilities. On December 1, 2014, Alico deposited an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by Rabo Agrifinance, Inc., or Rabo, in the aggregate amount of $7,500,000 into an escrow account to fund the additional cash consideration.
Alico concurrently entered into arrangements to finance the Orange-Co Acquisition as follows:
Metlife Credit Agreement
Alico entered into a First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and New England Life Insurance Company under which they provided term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $182,500,000 and $25,000,000 in revolving credit commitments. The term loans are subject to 5% annual principal amortization while the revolving credit commitment is interest only until maturity.
The Metlife Agreement amends and restates existing credit facilities, dated as of September 8, 2010 (as amended from time to time) between Alico and Rabo. Under this prior credit agreement, Alico had a term loan in the initial principal amount of $40,000,000, of which $33,500,000 was outstanding at the date of refinancing and $60,000,000 in undrawn revolving credit commitments.
Rabo Credit Agreement
Alico entered into a Credit Agreement with Rabo which provided a $70,000,000 revolving working capital line of credit for Alico, of which approximately $28,365,000 was drawn at the closing date. This facility is interest only until maturity.
Note B—Disposition of Sugarcane Land in Hendry County, Florida
On November 21, 2014, Alico completed the sale of approximately 36,000 acres of land used for sugarcane production and land leasing in Hendry County, Florida to Global Ag Properties, LLC, which we refer to as Global Ag Properties, for approximately $97,900,000 in cash.
Proceeds from the Sugarcane Disposition were deposited with a Qualified Intermediary in anticipation of a potential tax deferred like kind exchange pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 (See Note A—Orange-Co Acquisition).
On May 19, 2014, Alico entered into a triple net Agricultural Lease, or the USSC Lease, to lease approximately 30,600 acres of the subject property to United States Sugar Corporation, or USSC. At the time it entered into the USSC Lease, Alico received a one-time reimbursement for costs incurred to plant sugarcane, sugarcane growing costs and for the sale of certain rolling stock used in the sugarcane operation of approximately $11,000,000, which was $2,300,000 less than the net book value. The USSC Lease was assigned to Global Ag Properties in conjunction with the Sugarcane Disposition. The annual base rent payable by USSC under the lease is $3,548,485 and is due and payable on or before the first day of each lease year. USSC is obligated to pay additional rent per acre annually if the year-end average net selling price of sugar is greater than or equal to $28 per hundred weight. This effectively increases the rent in the event sugar prices rise during the term of the lease. Certain other recreational and grazing leases were also assigned to Global Ag Properties.
The sales price is subject to post-closing adjustments over a ten (10)-year period. In the first two (2) years of the lease, Global Ag Properties is entitled to a return equal to the purchase price multiplied by 5%. If rental payments received under current leases on the subject property exceed these amounts, Alico will receive a payment from Global Ag Properties for the excess. Conversely, if rental payments received under current leases on the subject property are less than these amounts, Alico will pay Global Ag Properties for the shortfall.
During years three (3) through ten (10), Global Ag Properties will receive annual payments equal to the greater of (i) the purchase price multiplied by 5% or (ii) the most recent fair market value of the subject property multiplied by 5%, subject to a ceiling on the annual increase of 6% annualized over years one (1) through ten (10). If rental payments received under current leases on the subject property exceed these amounts, Alico will receive a payment from Global Ag Properties for the excess. Conversely, if rental payments received under current leases on the subject property are less than these amounts, Alico will pay Global Ag Properties for the shortfall.
Alico realized a gain of approximately $42,753,000 on the sale. However, approximately $29,140,000 of the gain has been deferred due to Alico’s continuing involvement in the subject property pursuant to a post-closing agreement and the potential adjustments described above. The deferral represents Alico’s estimate of the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the continuing involvement. A net gain of approximately $13,613,000 was recognized in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
Note C—Silver Nip Merger Agreement
On December 2, 2014, Alico entered into the Merger Agreement with 734 Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alico, Silver Nip Citrus and, solely with respect to certain sections thereof, the equity holders of Silver Nip Citrus. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Silver Nip Citrus, with Silver Nip Citrus surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alico. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Alico will issue shares of Alico common stock to the equity holders of Silver Nip Citrus as follows:
| • | At the closing of the Merger, Alico will issue to the Silver Nip Citrus equityholders up to 1,463,544 shares of Alico common stock, subject to adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement for Silver Nip Citrus’ net indebtedness at the closing of the Merger, amounts related to groves specified in the Merger Agreement (also referred to as the TRB Groves) and certain Silver Nip Citrus transaction expenses. |
| • | Thirty (30) days following the conclusion of Silver Nip Citrus’ 2014-2015 citrus harvest season, Alico will also issue to the Silver Nip Citrus equityholders additional shares of Alico common stock based on the proceeds (net of harvesting costs) received by Alico from the sale of citrus fruit harvested on Silver Nip Citrus groves (excluding the TRB Groves) after the closing of the Merger. |
The value assigned to the shares issued in connection with the Merger will be based on the closing price of the Alico common stock on the date the Merger closes. The value assigned to shares issued in connection with the Merger in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements was based on a $37.58 per share price of the Alico common stock consistent with the value assigned to such shares in the Merger Agreement.

Proceeds of the Sugarcane Disposition were reinvested into the Orange-Co Acquisition in a tax deferred like kind exchange transaction pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, so income taxes related to the gain have not been reported in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.
