Del Monte Corporation (NYSE: FDP), a global leader in fresh and shelf-stable produce, today announced that it will ring the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange at 9:30 a.m. ET on Monday, June 29, 2026, marking the company's first day of trading under its new ticker symbol, DMC.

The bell-ringing ceremony follows the company's recent corporate name change from Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. to Del Monte Corporation and represents a significant milestone in the company's evolution as the global owner of the iconic Del Monte^® brand. For the first time in nearly four decades, the Del Monte^® brand is operating under a single owner with a coordinated global strategy, creating new opportunities to strengthen brand consistency, accelerate innovation, expand consumer reach, and unlock the full potential of one of the world's most recognized food brands.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh will be joined by members of the company's executive leadership team to commemorate the occasion.

"For me, this is a true full-circle moment," said Abu-Ghazaleh. "Nearly 30 years ago, I had the privilege of helping take this company public. To stand once again on the podium of the New York Stock Exchange and ring the Opening Bell as Del Monte Corporation is incredibly meaningful.

"This moment reflects how far we have come. Over the past three decades, we have transformed our company while remaining rooted in the values that have defined the Del Monte brand for generations. The transition to Del Monte Corporation marks the beginning of a new chapter and reflects our confidence in the opportunities ahead.

"As proud as we are of the journey that brought us here, we are even more optimistic about where we are going. We believe the greatest opportunities for Del Monte are still ahead of us, and we look forward to building on our legacy as we enter this new era as Del Monte Corporation."
