Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 29, 2025, Seaboard Corporation (the “Registrant”) issued a press release announcing earnings for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, and the Board of Directors’ declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of $2.25 per share of common stock, payable on August 18, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 8, 2025. The full text of this press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, and the related press release included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On May 21, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Seaboard Corporation (the “Company”) approved a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock (“Shares”) through December 31, 2027, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Board. Under the Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase Shares from time to time in the open-market, through block trades, in privately negotiated purchases, pursuant to a trading plan separately adopted in the future, or by other means, in accordance with federal securities laws and other applicable laws.

The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire a minimum amount of Shares and the Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. The Company cannot predict when or if it will repurchase any Shares or the amount of any such repurchases as the repurchases will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in any applicable trading plans, the market price of the Shares, general business and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities, the Company's financial condition and applicable legal requirements. Any Shares repurchased will be retired and shall resume the status of authorized and unissued shares. Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as required by the applicable rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On May 21, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Repurchase Program. The Company's press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01.

Forward-looking statements are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding its future financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, performance and business. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors.
