Stockholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Under Seaboard’s 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, 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 will depend upon market conditions, compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission 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. The share repurchase program expires on October 31, 2020, unless extended. As of September 26, 2020, $65 million of common stock remained available for repurchase under this program. Seaboard repurchased 0 shares and 4,069 shares of common stock during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively.
