Stockholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

In October 2019, the Board of Directors extended through October 31, 2020 Seaboard’s share repurchase program. Under this share repurchase program, Seaboard is authorized to repurchase its common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated purchases, which may be above or below the traded market price. 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. All stock repurchased will be made in compliance with applicable legal requirements and funded by cash on hand. The timing of the repurchases and the number of shares repurchased at any given time will depend upon market conditions, compliance with SEC regulations, and other factors. The Board of Directors’ stock repurchase authorization does not obligate Seaboard to acquire a specific amount of common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be suspended at any time at Seaboard’s discretion. As of March 28, 2020, $65 million remained available for repurchase under this program. Seaboard repurchased 4,069 shares of common stock at a total price of $13 million during the three months ended March 28, 2020.
