Information required by Instruction C of Schedule 13D with respect to the directors, executive officers, or persons holding equivalent positions of the Reporting Persons, is set forth on Annex A attached hereto.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

The Reporting Persons received the Ordinary Shares reported in this Schedule 13D as a result of the closing of the Business Combination (as defined below) and the Public Offering (as defined below).

Prior to the Business Combination, the Reporting Persons held an aggregate of 3,593,750 ordinary shares of Agrico Acquisition Corp (“Agrico”), a Cayman Islands exempted company.

On June 28, 2022, Kalera consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) described under a certain business combination agreement dated January 30, 2022 (the “BCA”). As part of the Business Combination, holders of Agrico’s ordinary shares received shares in the capital of Kalera, while holders of Agrico warrants had their Agrico warrants assumed by Kalera and automatically adjusted to become exercisable for Kalera Ordinary Shares (the “Kalera Warrants”).

As a result of the above, on June 28, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Reporting Persons received 1,796,875 Ordinary Shares and 6,171,875 Kalera Warrants exercisable for one Ordinary Share each. The Kalera Warrants were immediately exercisable, the Reporting Persons therefore became beneficial owners of 7,968,750 shares of Kalera, representing 28.9% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of Kalera at the time.

On October 31, 2022, Kalera issued, among others, 68,000,000 Ordinary Shares to various investors for a public offering price of $0.13 each (the “Public Offering”). In the Public Offering, the Reporting Persons acquired an additional 3,840,000 Ordinary Shares. The Reporting Persons therefore now hold 5,636,875 Ordinary Shares and 6,171,875 Kalera Warrants, and are the beneficial owners of 11,808,750 Ordinary Shares representing 12% of the Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as reported on the Issuer’s prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1), filed on October 28, 2022.⁵

⁵	Please note that share counts reported herein do not account for the 100-for-1 reverse stock split approved by the shareholders of the Company on December 22, 2022 and effective as of December 23, 2022, because the transactions being reported preceded the effectiveness of the reverse stock split.

Item 4.

Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their respective investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by Kalera’s board of directors, price levels of the Ordinary Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may from time to time and at any time in the future take such actions with respect to the investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including: (i) acquiring additional Ordinary Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes or other securities of the Issuer, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of the Ordinary Shares or the Issuer (collectively, “Securities”) in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) considering, proposing or otherwise engaging in one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.
