Item 5. Other Events and Required FD Disclosure.

          On December 13, 2002, Savia, S.A. de C.V. (“Savia”), Seminis Inc.’s (the “Company”) majority stockholder, announced that it had entered into a letter of intent with Fox Paine & Company, LLC (“Fox Paine”) with respect to a proposed transaction to acquire the outstanding shares of the Company at a price of $3.40 per share.

          Since then, a special committee of the board of directors of the Company, consisting of all of the independent directors, has been reviewing the proposed transaction and engaged in discussions and negotiations with Savia and Fox Paine with respect to the possibility of a transaction and the terms thereof. While discussions have generally been positive, the special committee’s consideration and review of the proposed transaction is ongoing. In that regard, the Company has been informed by Savia that Savia has noticed its shareholders for a meeting to be held at the end of this month to authorize the necessary actions to be taken by Savia, assuming a transaction can be agreed upon with the Company.

          While there can be no assurance that any transaction ultimately will be approved, negotiations are proceeding on the basis that the Company’s public stockholders would receive a price in excess of $3.40 per share. The actual price to be received by the public stockholders will depend on the completion of negotiations and the approval of such transaction by the special committee and the board of directors of the Company. The Company does not expect to have any additional comments with respect to the proposed transaction unless and until a definitive agreement is executed or the proposed transaction is withdrawn.
