CUSIP No. 170032106 Page 3 of 5 This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 27, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D") by Consolidated Fruit Corporation (BVI) Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("CFC"), and is filed to reflect information required by Rule 13d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Chiquita Common Stock"), of Chiquita Brands International, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used in the Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Item 3 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated December 15, 1999, among Banistmo Capital Market Group Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Panama ("Banistmo"), ELPV, a corporation organized under the laws of Panama ("ELPV") and Daza Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("Daza" and, together with Banistmo and ELPV, the "Investors"), the Investors collectively contributed to CFC an aggregate of 3,210,300 shares of Chiquita Common Stock and cash (the "Cash Contribution"). The remainder of the Cash Contribution not used to purchase a portion of the shares of Chiquita Common Stock which were the subject of the Schedule 13D was used by CFC to purchase 400,550 shares of Chiquita Common Stock acquired by CFC after the filing of the Schedule 13D. The remaining 587,800 shares of Chiquita Common Stock acquired by CFC after the filing of the Schedule 13D were purchased through a margin account maintained by CFC. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer Items 5(a) - (c) are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows: (a)-(b) CFC is the sole beneficial owner of, and has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of, 5,328,250 shares of Chiquita Common Stock, representing 8.02% of the outstanding shares of Chiquita Common Stock. The shares of Chiquita Common Stock owned by CFC do not include the 67,700 shares of Chiquita Common Stock owned by the Lewis Navarro Family for which CFC disclaims beneficial ownership. The calculation of the foregoing percentage is based on the number of shares of Chiquita Common Stock disclosed as outstanding on March 15, 2000 by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1999. The Lewis Navarro Family beneficially owns, and has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of, 67,700 shares of Chiquita Common Stock, representing approximately 0.1% of the outstanding shares of Chiquita Common Stock. The calculation of the foregoing percentage is based on the number of shares of Chiquita Common Stock disclosed as outstanding on March 15, 2000 by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1999. CUSIP No. 170032106 Page 4 of 5 (c) Since the filing of the Schedule 13D, CFC has purchased 988,350 shares of Chiquita Common Stock.
