Dole plc 8-K

What Happened

• Dole plc announced on April 7, 2026 that it will distribute its definitive proxy statement to shareholders in advance of its annual general meeting (AGM) scheduled for May 20, 2026. The company filed a Form 8-K (Regulation FD disclosure) attaching the definitive proxy statement as Exhibit 99.1. The filing was signed by Jacinta Devine, Chief Financial Officer.

Key Details

• Proxy distribution: on or about April 7, 2026.
• Annual general meeting date: May 20, 2026.
• Corporate status: Dole plc is a foreign private issuer that prepares its definitive proxy statement under Irish law, and it continues to voluntarily file U.S. domestic issuer forms.
• Exhibit attached: Definitive Proxy Statement (Exhibit 99.1) furnished with the 8-K.

Why It Matters

• Shareholders should review the definitive proxy statement to see the matters to be voted on at the AGM (e.g., director elections, governance items, other proposals) and to decide how to vote or appoint a proxy.
• The timetable (proxy sent April 7; meeting May 20) gives investors time to consider proposals and meet any voting deadlines.
• The disclosure reaffirms Dole’s status as a foreign private issuer while continuing voluntary U.S. filings, which may affect how certain governance and reporting rules apply to the company.
