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.
