Filing language.
Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.
“Alico Citrus has shut down its nursery in Gainesville, is in the process of selling its trucks and trailers, consolidating offices, and has either sold or in the process of selling real estate assets that are not strategic to our business plan.”
“The acquisitions of Bowen and Plant World further contributed $0.7 million to the rise in general and administrative expenses.”
“We seek to opportunistically acquire new agricultural assets from time to time that we believe would complement our business”
“The increase was primarily due to the Company’s purchase of Bowen during the second quarter of fiscal 2006.”
“in October 2020 we acquired another Florida citrus property”
