1 THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF ALICO, INC. (amended and restated effective December 11, 2025) ARTICLE I. Principal Office. The principal office of the Company shall be at 10070 Daniels Interstate Court, Suite 100, Ft. Myers, FL, or such other place in the state of Florida, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time deem advisable and in the best interest of the Company. ARTICLE II. Place, Time and Notice of Stockholders Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Company or at such other place, either within or without the state of Florida, as may be provided in the notice of the meeting, at a time and place as may be ordered by the Board of Directors. Special meetings of the stockholders may be held at any time, either within or without the State of Florida, as provided in the notice of the meeting, and may be called by the Chairman of the Board, President, the Board of Directors, or the holders of not less than one-tenth of the capital stock entitled to vote at the meeting, subject to compliance with the requirements of Article XVII hereof. Notice of time and place of any meeting of stockholders shall be given as required under the laws of the state of Florida. Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting either before, at or after the meeting. The terms "stockholders" and "shareholders" are used interchangeably in the Bylaws and shall be deemed to refer to "shareholders" within the meaning of the Florida Business Corporation Act. ARTICLE III. Quorum of and Voting by Stockholders. At any meeting of the stockholders, a majority in interest of all the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented by stockholders of record either in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum, but a lesser interest may adjourn a meeting from time to time and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority in interest of the capital stock represented thereat shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question be one which by express provision of law, or of these Bylaws, a larger or different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern. ARTICLE IV. Proxies. Every holder of the capital stock of the Company shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock standing in his/her name on the books of the Company as provided under the laws of the state of Florida. A stockholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing and filed with the Secretary before the meeting at which such proxy shall be voted. A proxy shall entitle the holder thereof to vote at any adjournment of such meeting, but shall not be valid after the final adjournment thereof. In order for a proxy to be counted as valid the stockholder shall provide such reasonable proof of ownership as the Inspector of Elections shall deem reasonably appropriate in the circumstances. ARTICLE V. Number, Election and Duties of Directors; Vacancies in Board. Section 5.1. The management of the business and affairs of the Company shall be vested in a Board of Directors and, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of preferred stock to elect Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors shall consist of between five (5) and eleven (11) Directors, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors and may be increased or decreased from time to time within such limits by the Board of Directors consistent with the limitations provided in the Articles of Incorporation and the laws of the state of Florida, but no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director. The Board of Directors shall have all of the powers possessed by the Company itself, so far as this designation of authority is Exhibit 3.1

------

![](alico-thirdamendedandres002.jpg)

2 not inconsistent with the laws of the state of Florida, the Articles of Incorporation, or some other express provision of these Bylaws. Section 5.2. At each annual meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders shall elect Directors to hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting or until their respective successors shall be elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Section 5.3. Except as provided in Section 5.6 of this Article V, each Director shall be elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders with respect to that Director's election. For purposes of this Section 5.3, a majority of the votes cast shall mean that the number of shares voted "for" a Director's election exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the number of votes cast with respect to that Director's election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote (even if less than a majority) at any meeting of stockholders where the election of Directors is a "Contested Election" (as defined below). For purposes of these Bylaws, an election of Directors shall be considered a "Contested Election" if (i) the number of nominees standing for election at any meeting of stockholders exceeds the number of Directors to be elected, with the determination that an election is "contested" to be made by the Secretary of the Company. Section 5.4. The Board of Directors shall designate and appoint one of its members as Chairman of the Board, and may but shall not be required to designate one of its members as Vice Chairman of the Board who shall act as Chairman in the absence of the Chairman. Section 5.5. Subject to Section 5.7 of this Article, any Director may resign at any time upon notice to the Company. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event. A resignation that is conditioned upon such resigning Director's failing to receive a specified vote for re-election as a Director may provide that such resignation is irrevocable by such Director, but may be rejected by the Board of Directors. Section 5.6. Subject to the rights, if any, of holders of preferred stock to elect Directors of the Company, any Director may be removed at any time for cause or without cause by the vote of the holders of a majority of the common stock then entitled to vote at an election of Directors and the holders of a majority of the common stock then entitled to vote at any election of Directors may fill the vacancy caused by such removal. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors because of death, resignation, removal, increase in the number of Directors, or otherwise, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office. Section 5.7. Each person who is nominated to stand for election as Director shall, as a condition to such nomination, tender an irrevocable and executed letter of resignation in advance of the meeting for the election of Directors. If a nominee for Director is not elected and the nominee is an incumbent Director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's recommendation, and make public disclosure of its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 calendar days from the date of the certification of the election results. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors, in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that they consider appropriate and relevant. The Director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to his or her tender of resignation, but may participate in the recommendation or the decision regarding another Director's tender of resignation. ARTICLE VI. Directors' Meetings. Meetings of the Board of Directors, regular or special, may be held either within or without the state of Florida.

![](alico-thirdamendedandres003.jpg)

3 The Board of Directors shall meet each year immediately after the annual meeting of the stockholders for the purpose of organization, election of officers, and the consideration of any other business that may properly be brought before the meeting. No notice of any kind to either old or new members of the Board of Directors for such annual meeting shall be necessary. Other meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any time or place upon notice thereof being given in writing to each Director at his/her residence or place of business upon the call by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, or two or more Directors. Notice of any such other meeting of the Board of Directors may be waived in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time of such meeting, and shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance of a Director at such other meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business, because such meeting is not lawfully convened. Any action of the Board of Directors which is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if written consent to the action signed by all members of the Board is filed in the minutes of the proceedings of the Board prior to the taking of such action. Chairman of the Board. The directors may elect one of their members to be Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors if present. The Chairman of the Board shall perform such duties as from time to time may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders. ARTICLE VII. Quorum of Board of Directors. A majority of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a lesser number may adjourn any meeting from time to time, and the meeting may be held so adjourned without further notice. The act of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting, at which a quorum is present, shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided by law or by these Bylaws. ARTICLE VIII. Designation of Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, designate one or more committees and appoint Board members to serve on such committees pursuant to Section 607.0825, Florida Statutes, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors or the Charter of said committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business, property, and affairs of the Corporation except as set forth in Section 607.0825 of the Florida Statutes. The Board of Directors shall approve a Charter for each of its committees. Such charter may include the duration and authority of the committee. Each committee which has been established by the Board of Directors pursuant to these Bylaws may fix its own rules and procedures; provided that a majority of all the members of a committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of all the members of a committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the committee. Notice of meetings of committees, other than of regular meetings provided for by committee rules, shall be given to committee members. All action taken by committees shall be recorded in minutes of the meetings. Committees. The Company shall have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee, each to be governed by the charters adopted by the Board of Directors. If the name of any committee is changed without modifying in any material respect such committee's purpose, authority, responsibilities, or similar matters, then these Bylaws need not be formally amended to reflect the name change.
