(July 14, 2020) Santa Maria, Calif. - We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Chavez. Our hearts
go out to his family and friends and to all those who have lost loved ones during this unprecedented
global crisis. Mr. Chavez had worked for Alco Harvesting for more than three years. He was a valued
employee and a good friend to many. He will be greatly missed.

When we learned that Mr. Chavez was not feeling well, we immediately implemented our company
COVID-19 preparedness protocols and took him to a local Urgent Care Center, where he was treated.
Following that visit, Mr. Chavez self-quarantined while awaiting test results. In accordance with privacy
laws, we are unable to provide any details about employees’ health or medical status.

Alco Harvesting abides by state and federal worker safety laws and guidelines, including those pertaining
