#### CAL-MAINE FOODS CLOSES ACQUISITION OF ECHO LAKE FOODS
RIDGELAND, Miss. (June 2, 2025)

—

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: CALM) ("Cal-Maine Foods" or the

"Company"), today announced the closing of its acquisition of Echo Lake Foods.

The Company announced in April that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Echo Lake Foods in an

all-cash transaction for approximately $258 million, which is expected to provide a tax benefit of ~$28

million equating to an effective purchase price of ~$230 million. Echo Lake Foods produces, packages,

markets and distributes ready-to-eat egg products and breakfast foods, including waffles, pancakes,

scrambled eggs, frozen cooked omelets, egg patties, toast and diced eggs. Echo Lake Foods had annual

revenues of approximately $240 million in 2024 with a five-year CAGR of approximately 10%.

#### Highlights of the Transaction:
*Compelling Strategic Rationale* 

● Allows Cal-Maine Foods to enter the large, growing and highly stable value-added food portion of

the egg category

● Expands strategic customer relationships with retail, quick service restaurant and other food service

customers

● Leverages Cal-Maine Foods' extensive sales and supply chain distribution capabilities

*Attractive Financial Returns* 

● Provides access to additional long-term growth opportunities while reducing earnings volatility

● Estimated potential $15 million annual synergy opportunity driven by egg purchasing efficiencies

and SG&A savings

● Expected mid-single digit percentage accretion to EPS (including synergies) in FY2026.

Sherman Miller, president and chief executive officer of Cal-Maine Foods, stated, "The addition of Echo

Lake Foods advances our stated strategy to expand and diversify our product portfolio and customer mix.

Echo Lake Foods is a leading innovator with a long history of providing quality ready-to-eat egg products

and breakfast foods to a blue-chip customer base. The combined product lines and capabilities of the two

companies are highly complementary and, importantly, we share similar values of pursuing operating

excellence and meeting the needs of our customers.

"The acquisition of Echo Lake Foods meets our disciplined set of investment criteria, including relevant

geographic markets, operating synergies, product mix, proximity to customers and expected financial

returns. The Echo Lake Foods team has built a terrific business and we look forward to working together

on a successful integration, delivering on a unique opportunity for our customers and shareholders, and

welcoming Kathy Brodhagen to our leadership team and Echo Lake employees to the Cal-Maine Foods

family," added Miller.
