The Middleby Corporation (NASDAQ: MIDD) today announced that it has completed the previously announced spin-off of its Food Processing business, now operating as Midera Food Processing, Inc. (“Midera”). Shares of Midera common stock will begin trading “regular way” on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “MFP,” effective at the market opening on July 7, 2026.

“This separation represents the culmination of strategic portfolio work to unlock the full value potential for our shareholders,” said Tim FitzGerald, Chief Executive Officer of Middleby. “Middleby emerges as a pure-play commercial foodservice leader with a differentiated platform built on innovation, connected solutions, and market-leading brands. Midera enters the market as an industry-leading food processing business with attractive secular tailwinds and a robust M&A pipeline. As focused, independent companies, each is positioned to execute with greater agility, invest behind their respective competitive advantages, and deliver significant long-term shareholder value.”

The spin-off was completed through the distribution, effective as of today at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time, of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Midera common stock to Middleby stockholders on the basis of one share of Midera common stock for every one share of Middleby common stock held as of 4:00 p.m. Central Time on June 26, 2026, the record date for the distribution.
