CHIQUITA BRANDS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

September 12, 2014

To Our Shareholders:

We are writing to advise you that the special meeting of shareholders of Chiquita Brands International, Inc., which is referred to as Chiquita, that was originally scheduled to be held on September 17, 2014 has been postponed and will now be held at 9:00 a.m. local time, on October 3, 2014, at NASCAR Plaza, 550 South Caldwell Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28202.

On or about August 7, 2014, Chiquita mailed a Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement, which is referred to as the original proxy statement, to shareholders of record for a special meeting of shareholders which was originally scheduled to be held on September 17, 2014, for the purpose of, among other things, voting on the proposed combination with Fyffes plc, which is referred to as Fyffes. Recently, Chiquita announced that it has postponed the date of the special meeting to October 3, 2014.

As previously disclosed on September 8, 2014, the date on which the postponement was announced, Fyffes had granted Chiquita a waiver that permitted Chiquita to engage in discussions with the Cutrale Group and the Safra Group, a group that on August 11, 2014 had sent Chiquita a letter expressing an interest in exploring a potential transaction for the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Chiquita. The Cutrale Group and the Safra Group are referred to collectively as Cutrale / Safra. Chiquita also announced on such date that it had offered to allow Cutrale / Safra the opportunity to conduct due diligence and, thereafter, present a definitive offer for Chiquita's consideration. On September 10, 2014, Chiquita and Cutrale-Safra signed a confidentiality agreement, so that diligence could begin. Cutrale / Safra has indicated that it will use its best efforts to complete its due diligence and present its definitive offer as expeditiously as possible for Chiquita's consideration. Chiquita does not expect to provide any further update unless and until the Chiquita board of directors has reached a decision on a definitive course of action, although Chiquita will provide an update prior to the special meeting on October 3.

Included with this letter is (1) a supplemental notice for the postponed meeting and (2) a duplicate copy of a proxy card to be used for voting your shares at the special meeting.

The Chiquita board of directors has not changed its recommendations regarding the proposed combination with Fyffes. Accordingly, the Chiquita board of directors recommends unanimously that Chiquita shareholders vote “FOR” all of the proposals listed on the enclosed WHITE proxy form. In addition, both Cutrale / Safra and Chiquita are now recommending that Chiquita shareholders vote FOR the Chiquita adjournment proposal (Item 5 on our respective proxy forms). If you have not already voted or wish to change your vote, you may do so on the enclosed WHITE proxy form or by using a toll-free telephone number or electronically over the Internet as described on the proxy form.

We appreciate your continued loyalty and support.

Very truly yours,

Kerrii B. Anderson

Chairwoman of the Board of Directors
