Item 8.01 Other Events
On October 31, 2011, the Board of Directors extended through October 31,
2012 the share repurchase program previously approved on November 6, 2009
and originally set to expire on October 31, 2011. Under this share
repurchase program, Seaboard is authorized to repurchase from time to time
up to $100,000,000 market value of its Common Stock in open market or
privately negotiated purchases which may be above or below the traded
market price. As of October 31, 2011, $63,329,000 remained available for
repurchases under this program. During the period that the share
repurchase program remains in effect, from time to time, Seaboard may enter
into a 10b5-1 plan authorizing a third party to make such purchases on
behalf of Seaboard. The stock repurchase will be funded by cash on hand.
Shares repurchased will be retired and resume the status of authorized and
unissued shares. All stock repurchased will be made in compliance with
applicable legal requirements and the timing of the repurchases and the
number of shares repurchased at any given time will depend upon market
conditions, compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations
and other factors. The Board's stock repurchase authorization does not
obligate a specific amount of common stock and the stock repurchase program
may be suspended at any time at Seaboard's discretion.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
