Item 1.02                      Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 28, 2015 Seneca Foods Corporation and Pacific Coast Producers jointly terminated the asset purchase agreement entered into on March 19, 2015 relating to the proposed sale of Seneca's Modesto, California fruit processing facility, and its related business to Pacific Coast Producers.

On May 26, 2015, both companies received a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (commonly known as a "Second Request") from the Department of Justice which would extend the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. In light of the delay associated with the Second Request relative to the upcoming production season, both companies agreed to terminate the asset purchase agreement.
