PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
APRIL 20, 2026

March 6, 2026

Date, Time and Place of the Meeting

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of Seaboard Corporation (the “Company,” “Seaboard,” “us,” “our” or “we”) for use at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Monday, April 20, 2026, commencing at 8:30 a.m., local time, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The meeting is called for the purposes set forth in the foregoing Notice of Annual Meeting, and will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel, 10100 College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas 66210.

Stockholders Entitled to Vote at the Meeting

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on the February 19, 2026 record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Seaboard had 957,794 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date. Each such share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly to come before the annual meeting. This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy were first sent or given to stockholders on or about March 6, 2026.

Quorum Requirement

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A majority of our outstanding shares of common stock on the record date, or 478,898 shares, will be needed to establish a quorum for the annual meeting. Votes cast at the annual meeting will be tabulated by persons duly appointed to act as inspectors of election and voting for the annual meeting. The inspectors of election and voting will treat shares represented by a properly signed and returned proxy as present at the annual meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, without regard to whether the proxy is marked as casting a vote or abstaining. Likewise, the inspectors will treat shares of stock represented by proxies reflecting one or more “broker non-votes” as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes are proxies with respect to shares held in record name by brokers, banks or other nominees, as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote with respect to one or more matters; (ii) the broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power under applicable national securities exchange rules or the instrument under which it serves in such capacity; and (iii) the record holder has indicated on the proxy card or otherwise notified Seaboard that it does not have authority to vote such shares on such matter or matters.

Items of Business to be Voted on at the Annual Meeting

Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following matters at the annual meeting:


Item Number	Matter	Our Board of Directors Recommends
1	Elect five directors to hold office until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified	FOR EACH DIRECTOR NOMINEE
2	Advisory vote to approve the compensation of Seaboard's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in Seaboard's proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders	FOR
3	Ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the independent auditor of Seaboard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026	FOR

We will also consider other business that properly comes before the annual meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Attending the Meeting and Voting in Person

If you plan to attend the annual meeting and vote in person, we will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee (commonly referred to as being held in “street” name), proof of ownership may be required for you to be admitted to the meeting. A recent brokerage statement and letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of ownership. If you want to vote your shares of common stock held in street name in person at the meeting, you will have to get a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other nominee who holds your shares.

Voting by Proxy

The Board of Directors solicits your proxy in the form enclosed for use at the annual meeting. You may vote your shares by completing the proxy card with your vote, signature and date, and returning it by mail in the envelope provided, or you can follow the instructions on the proxy card to cast your vote via the Internet or telephone. Any stockholder giving a proxy in accordance with the enclosed form may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. A stockholder may revoke his or her proxy by delivering to the Secretary of Seaboard a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. A duly completed proxy will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. Where a stockholder’s voting instructions are not specified in the completed proxy, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors as follows: “for” the election of the nominees for director listed herein; “for” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of Seaboard’s Named Executive Officers; and “for” ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditors for 2026. The Board of Directors does not know of any matters that will be brought before the meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, or their substitutes acting thereunder, will vote on such matter in accordance with their discretion and judgment. If your shares of common stock are held in street name, you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. Seaboard will bear all expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy statement. After the initial mailing of this proxy statement, proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or personally by directors, officers, employees or agents of Seaboard. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners of shares held of record by them, and their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be paid by Seaboard.

Vote Required

With respect to the election of directors (Item 1), you may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” authority to vote for each of the nominees for the Board. A favorable plurality of votes cast (a number greater than those cast for any other candidates)

is necessary to elect members of the Board of Directors. “Withhold” votes and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose. Accordingly, “withhold” or broker non-votes as to the election of directors will not affect the election of the candidates receiving the plurality of votes and will have no effect on the election of the nominees.

With respect to the advisory vote on the compensation of Seaboard's Named Executive Officers (Item 2), you may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN”. This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares having voting power in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. An abstention will count as a vote cast and will therefore have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Brokers will not have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal, and therefore broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome. Because your vote on this proposal is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board of Directors of Seaboard.

With respect to the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors (Item 3), you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares having voting power in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Shares represented by broker non-votes for purposes of this proposal are treated as not being present, while abstentions are treated as being present but not voting in the affirmative. Accordingly, the effect of broker non-votes is only to reduce the number of shares considered to be present for the consideration of this proposal and will have no effect on the voting outcome, while abstentions will have the same effect as votes against this proposal. Brokers, banks and other nominees may use their discretionary voting authority with respect to the ratification of our independent auditors, so no broker non-votes are expected for this proposal.

Management has no reason to believe that any of the nominees for the election as director will be unavailable.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the election as directors of the persons listed above.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS INFORMATION

Meetings of the Board

The Board of Directors held ten meetings in fiscal 2025, eight of which were telephonic meetings and two of which were in person. Other actions of the Board of Directors were taken by unanimous written consent, as needed. Each director attended more than 75 percent of the meetings of the Board of Directors held while in office and of the meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he or she served during 2025.

Seaboard does not have any policy requiring directors to attend Seaboard’s annual meeting of stockholders, although generally the directors have attended Seaboard’s annual stockholders’ meetings. All directors attended the 2025 annual meeting in person or telephonically.

Controlled Company

Seaboard is a “controlled company,” as defined in the rules of the NYSE American, because more than 50 percent of the voting power of Seaboard is owned by the Seaboard Flour Entities. As such, Seaboard is exempted from many of the requirements regarding board of director committees and independence. The members of our Board of Directors who are independent within the meaning of the NYSE American listing standards are David A. Adamsen, Douglas W. Baena and Frances B. Shifman. The remaining members of our Board of Directors are not independent within the meaning of the NYSE American listing standards and, therefore, they would not qualify as independent directors for purposes of serving on a compensation, nominating committee or audit committee under applicable NYSE American committee independence requirements. The independent directors meet on a regular basis as often as necessary to fulfill their responsibilities, including at least annually in executive session without the presence of non-independent directors and management.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Robert L. Steer serves as Seaboard’s principal executive officer. Ellen S. Bresky serves as director and Chairwoman of the Board and is the beneficial owner of approximately 74.5 percent of Seaboard. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, Seaboard no longer has a lead independent director. Seaboard believes that Ms. Bresky has a sufficient vested interest in Seaboard on the basis of her beneficial stock ownership position and that Mr. Steer, who has been with Seaboard for more than 39 years, including nine years in his former role as Executive Vice President and CFO, has the experience necessary to lead Seaboard as the principal executive officer. The Board of Directors believes that the separation of the positions of Chairwoman of the Board and principal executive officer is the appropriate leadership structure for Seaboard at this time. This structure recognizes the nature of Seaboard as a “controlled company,” and, therefore, provides the Bresky family with appropriate influence over the Company.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors provides risk oversight of Seaboard with respect to the audit of Seaboard’s financial statements, Seaboard’s internal audit function and any financial matters reported to Seaboard’s Senior Vice President, Audit Services or other Seaboard representative. The Audit Committee administers this oversight function through Audit Committee meetings and periodic meetings in private with Seaboard’s auditors, KPMG LLP, and Seaboard’s Senior Vice President, Audit Services. The Board of Directors does not have any other significant oversight function, aside from performance of the Board of Director general oversight function through periodic meetings. The Board of Directors does not believe that its role in risk oversight of Seaboard has any significant effect on the Board’s leadership structure.

Committees of the Board

Seaboard’s Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee. As a “controlled company,” as defined in the rules of the NYSE American, Seaboard is not required to have, and Seaboard’s Board of Directors has not established, a nominating or compensation committee or any other committee of the Board performing similar functions.

Audit Committee. Seaboard’s Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee comprised solely of independent directors within the meaning of the listing standards of NYSE American and applicable SEC rules. The members of the Audit Committee are David A. Adamsen, Douglas W. Baena and Frances B. Shifman. Mr. Baena is Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee selects and retains independent auditors and assists the Board in its oversight of the integrity of Seaboard’s financial statements, including the performance of our independent auditors in their audit of our annual financial statements. The Audit Committee meets with management and the independent auditors, as may be required. The independent auditors have full and free access to the Audit Committee, without the presence of management. The Board of Directors has determined that Douglas W. Baena is an “audit committee financial expert” and is “independent,” within the meaning of the listing standards of NYSE American and applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee held four meetings in fiscal year 2025, two of which were telephonic meetings and two of which were in person. The Audit Committee Charter is available on Seaboard’s website at www.seaboardcorp.com.

Director Nominations

The Board of Directors believes it is not necessary to have a separate nominating committee because of the low turnover of Board of Director seats and because the entire Board of Directors participates in the consideration of director nominees. There currently is no charter that establishes procedures for the Board’s consideration of director nominees. The Board believes that it should be comprised of directors with varied, complementary backgrounds, and that directors should, at a minimum, have expertise that may be useful to Seaboard. Directors should also possess the highest personal and professional ethics, and should be willing and able to devote the required amount of time to Seaboard’s business. In determining whether a director should be retained and stand for re-election, the Board also considers such member’s performance and contribution to the Board during his or her tenure with the Board. Seaboard’s policy is to consider nominees who are submitted by stockholders on a case-by-case basis. All nominees, including those submitted by stockholders, will be evaluated using generally the same methods and criteria, although those methods and criteria are not standardized and may vary from time to time. The Board does not have any policy with respect to diversity and does not consider diversity in identifying nominees for Director.

Communication with the Board

The Board of Directors does not provide a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board because it believes that the process available under applicable federal securities laws for stockholders to submit proposals for consideration at the annual meeting is adequate.

Compensation of Directors

In the fiscal year 2025, the Company provided the following cash compensation to directors for their service as a director:

●

$37,500 quarterly retainer for the Chairwoman of the Board;

●

$20,000 quarterly retainer (other than for the Chairwoman of the Board);

●

Additional $10,000 quarterly retainer for the Chairman of the Audit Committee; and

●

Additional $2,500 quarterly retainer for service on the Audit Committee of the Board.

In addition to Ms. Bresky’s cash compensation for her service as a director, she is also given the right to use Seaboard’s airplane for up to 25 hours of flight time per year (increased to 30 hours of flight time per year in 2026) for personal use as long as she continues to serve in such role. The Company does not provide any equity compensation to its directors.

The following table shows the compensation received by each member of our Board of Directors for service on the Board in 2025.

In addition to Ms. Bresky’s cash compensation for her service as a director as stated above, Ms. Bresky’s compensation also consisted of personal use of Seaboard’s airplane (valuing this benefit based on the number of miles flown and the Standard Industry Fare Level published by the Department of Transportation), which is included in the “All Other Compensation” column. She used 25 hours of Seaboard’s airplane for personal use in 2025.

Gonzalez, $64,856. The amounts for 2023 are as follows: R. Steer, $1,625,253; D. Rankin, $140,737; and E. Gonzalez, $(9,632,248). The amount in 2023 for E. Gonzalez is reported at zero in the Summary Compensation Table due to an actuarial decrease in the present value of their benefits as provided in the Pension Benefits table below.

(4)

Included in All Other Compensation are Seaboard matching contributions under the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan and/or 401(k) Excess Plans, such plans being described below under “Benefit Plans.” These amounts for 2025 are as follows: R. Steer, $153,160; D. Rankin, $22,640; E. Gonzalez, $82,800; J. Bresky, $23,640; and C. Groves, $33,000.

Also included in All Other Compensation are Seaboard’s contributions to its 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan on behalf of the Named Executive Officers, amounts paid for disability and life insurance and individual perquisites, including amounts paid as an automobile allowance (valuing this benefit on an average fair market value based on the IRS lease guidelines using the manufacturer’s suggested retail price less 8 percent), fuel card usage, personal usage of Seaboard’s airplane (valuing this benefit based on the number of miles flown and the Standard Industry Fare Level published by the Department of Transportation), and a gross-up for related taxes. With respect to the above-stated items, All Other Compensation includes the following amounts for 2025: (a) an automobile allowance of $30,000 for each of the Named Executive Officers; and (b) an airplane benefit of $30,635 for R. Steer. Reimbursement for taxes owed on the above-stated items total as follows for each of the Named Executive Officers for 2025: R. Steer, $44,519; D. Rankin, $26,195; E. Gonzalez, $24,439; J. Bresky, $23,732; and C. Groves, $30,244.

(5)	C. Groves was appointed to President of Seaboard Foods LLC on July 1, 2024.

PAY RATIO

Pursuant to a mandate of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), set forth below for 2025 is a comparison of (i) the total compensation of R. Steer, Seaboard’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”); and (ii) the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of Seaboard and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than R. Steer). The median of the annual total compensation and the pay ratio described below are reasonable estimates calculated by Seaboard in a manner consistent with applicable SEC regulations.

In 2025, the annual total compensation of R. Steer was $7,003,834 and the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of Seaboard and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than R. Steer) was $45,429, and thus the ratio of the annual total compensation of R. Steer to the median of the annual total compensation of all of Seaboard’s employees was 154 to 1. Seaboard’s “median employee” worked in Seaboard’s live hog operations in Iowa.

To determine the median of the annual total compensation of all of Seaboard’s employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of Seaboard’s “median employee” and Seaboard’s Chief Executive Officer, Seaboard used the following methodology and made the following material assumptions, adjustments and estimates:

1.In 2023, Seaboard selected October 1, 2023, which is within the last three months of 2023, as the date upon which it would identify the “median employee” to allow sufficient time to identify the median employee given the global scope of its operations. To identify the “median employee,” Seaboard included all worldwide employees as of October 1, 2023, whether employed on a full-time, part-time or seasonal basis.

2.Seaboard determined that gross wages of such employees for the month of August 2023 was a reasonable compensation measure to determine the median employee, given (i) Seaboard’s large, international workforce; (ii) the diversity of countries and compensation structures in which Seaboard operates; and (iii) the high employee turnover in some of Seaboard’s operations. Seaboard believes that the use of this partial year period was appropriate as it confirmed that the period was reflective of the annual total compensation of all of its employees and would not significantly impact the identity of the median employee.

3.With respect to employees hired in the months of August and September 2023, and thus not having a full month of wages, Seaboard estimated their wages by (x) grossing up actual partial gross wages to reflect an entire month’s worth of wages based upon each employee’s status as full-time, part-time or seasonal employee; or (y) using the average wages received by employees performing a similar function (and in the same status, i.e., full-time, part-time or seasonal) at the same location during the month. All wages were converted into U.S. dollar equivalents using the respective exchange rates as of August 31, 2023. Seaboard did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee.

4.Once Seaboard identified its median employee, Seaboard included the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2025 determined in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. With respect to the annual total compensation of the CEO, Seaboard used the amount reported in the “Total” column of its 2025 Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement, which likewise was calculated in accordance with those same requirements.

EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
WITH NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Each Named Executive Officer (other than J. Bresky) is a party to an Employment Agreement with Seaboard.

The Employment Agreement for R. Steer was effective through December 31, 2025, and was amended subsequent to year end. The amended Employment Agreement for R. Steer does not have a specified term and continues in effect until terminated by Seaboard or R. Steer upon six months’ prior notice by either party. The Employment Agreements for D. Rankin and C. Groves have a term of one year and extend annually for one-year terms, unless not renewed or otherwise terminated by Seaboard. As of December 31, 2025, the Employment Agreement for E. Gonzalez has a term of two years, expiring December 31, 2027, unless otherwise terminated by Seaboard. J. Bresky does not have an employment agreement with Seaboard.

The Employment Agreements provide for payment of the following initial Base Salary for each applicable current Named Executive Officer:


	Initial Base Salary
Robert L. Steer	$	1,000,000
David H. Rankin	$	425,000
Edward A. Gonzalez	$	420,000
Chad M. Groves	$	500,000

As of December 31, 2025, the Employment Agreement for R. Steer provided that his annual bonus will be a minimum of $2,275,000. The Employment Agreement for D. Rankin provides for a target annual bonus of 131.25 percent of his base salary, and a maximum annual bonus of 175 percent of his base salary, with a minimum annual bonus of $300,000. The Employment Agreement for E. Gonzalez provides for a minimum annual bonus of $400,000. The Employment Agreement for C. Groves provides for an annual bonus in such amount as determined by Seaboard in its sole discretion, with a maximum annual bonus of 200% of his base salary.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement of R. Steer as of December 31, 2025, Seaboard may elect to contribute the portion of the annual bonus payable to him in excess of $1,000,000 to his account under the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan. Pursuant to the Employment Agreements of D. Rankin and C. Groves, Seaboard may elect to contribute any portion of the annual bonus payable to each of them which would cause their compensation to be in excess of $1,000,000 and thus non-deductible under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) (“Code Section 162(m)”) to their respective accounts under the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan.

Payments Upon Certain Events

The Employment Agreements each provide for the payment of severance upon the termination of employment in certain circumstances. Following is a summary of the amounts which would be paid by Seaboard to the applicable Named Executive Officers if, on December 31, 2025, his employment was involuntarily terminated without “Cause,” or if he resigned for “Good Reason,” as those terms are defined in the Employment Agreement for each such Named Executive Officer. Seaboard is not a party to an employment agreement with J. Bresky and, therefore, he is not included in the table below. Additional amounts payable to each Named Executive Officer under benefit plans upon additional events are described below under “Benefit Plans.”

Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, “Cause” means (i) a material breach by Named Executive Officer of any provision of the Employment Agreement; (ii) a material violation by Named Executive Officer of any Company policy resulting in material injury to the Company; (iii) Named Executive Officer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the business, reputation or prospects of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (iv) Named Executive Officer’s material fraud or misappropriation of funds; or (v) the commission by Named Executive Officer of a felony involving moral turpitude; and “Good Reason” means a resignation by Named Executive Officer from his employment with the Company within one hundred eighty (180) days following the initial occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i) a material diminution in the Named Executive Officer’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material change in the geographic location where Named Executive Officer primarily performs his services; or (iii) any other material breach by the Company of any material provision of the Employment Agreement.

(1)	The installments are payable over 12 months.

(2)	The lump sum will be payable one year after the termination of employment.

(3)	The Employment Agreement for R. Steer was effective through December 31, 2025, and amended subsequent to year end.

The Board of Directors has approved for each of the Named Executive Officers the right to use Seaboard’s airplane for personal use, which may be used for so long as each such Named Executive Officer continues to serve in such role. The allotment of flight time hours per year for personal use for the Named Executive Officers is as follows: up to 25 hours for R. Steer (increased to 30 hours in 2026) and up to 10 hours for each of the remaining Named Executive Officers (increased to 15 hours in 2026 for J. Bresky). Seaboard also pays each of the Named Executive Officers for the incidental fees and expenses incurred related to the flights, including ground transportation, and a “tax gross-up” of the estimated federal and state income taxes each will incur as a consequence of this benefit.

BENEFIT PLANS

409A Executive Retirement Plan

The Seaboard Corporation 409A Executive Retirement Plan (the “Executive Retirement Plan”) provides retirement benefits to a select group of Seaboard’s officers and managers, including R. Steer and D. Rankin. None of the other Named Executive Officers participate in the Executive Retirement Plan. The Executive Retirement Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2013. The Executive Retirement Plan gives credit for all years of service with Seaboard, both before and after becoming a participant. For years of service before becoming a participant (pre-participation service), the benefit is equal to 0.65 percent of the final average remuneration (salary plus bonus) of the participant, plus 0.50 percent of final average remuneration of the participant in excess of Social Security Covered Compensation, all multiplied by the participant’s pre-participation service. For years of service after becoming a participant (post-participation service), the benefit is equal to 2.5 percent of the final average remuneration of the participant, multiplied by the participant’s years of post-participation service. The amendment to the Executive Retirement Plan effective January 1, 2013 limits, and in some circumstances establishes, the final average remuneration and limits the years of post-participation service eligible to calculate the benefit. The benefit amount determined by the formula is reduced by the following: (i) the amount such participant has accrued under the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan (described below); and (ii) the benefit earned under the Executive Retirement Plan from 1994 through 1996 that resulted in cash payments from the plan that were based on the cost to purchase such benefit. Benefits under the Executive Retirement Plan are currently unfunded. As of December 31, 2025, all of the participating Named Executive Officers were fully vested, as defined in the Executive Retirement Plan. For the accrued benefit as of December 31, 2012 (the “Pre-2013 Benefit”), the ordinary form of payment of the benefit is pursuant to a “Single Lump Sum Payment,” which is equivalent in value to the benefit described above, payable in “Single Life Annuity” form. Under certain circumstances, the Executive Retirement Plan allows for optional forms of payment of the Pre-2013 Benefit. If the Pre-2013 Benefit will be paid pursuant to a lump sum, then payment will be made upon the earlier of: (i) the seventh month following separation from service; (ii) any change of control of Seaboard; or (iii) death or disability. If the Pre-2013 Benefit will be paid pursuant to an annuity, payment will begin in the seventh month following the month in which the participant has a separation from service, or at age 62, if later; or pursuant to a lump sum, in the event of the death or disability of the participant, or any change of control of Seaboard. The portion of the benefit which accrues after December 31, 2012 (“Post-2012 Benefit”) will be calculated as a lump sum on a date specified in the plan, and this balance will be increased or decreased based on the return of certain investments selected by the participant and paid upon the earlier of: (i) the participant’s separation from service; (ii) a change of control; or (iii) the death or disability of the participant. For participants who are not covered employees under Code Section 162(m), the Post-2012 Benefit will be paid as a lump sum on the earlier of: (i) the date specified in the plan; (ii) the seventh month following separation of service; (iii) any change of control of Seaboard; or (iv) death or disability. The Post-2012 Benefit for R. Steer was paid in 2017. The table in the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan section below sets forth estimates of the present value as of December 31, 2025, of the accumulated benefits that would be payable to the participating Named Executive Officers under the Executive Retirement Plan at the earliest unreduced age (i.e., age 62), which estimates are calculated based on the assumptions described in Footnote 9 of Seaboard’s 2025 financial statements contained in its Annual Report.

Pension Plans

Seaboard provides defined benefits upon retirement for its domestic salaried and clerical employees who began employment on or before December 31, 2013 through the Seaboard Corporation Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”). As of December 31, 2025, the Seaboard Marine Pension Plan (the “Marine Plan”) was merged into the Pension Plan. R. Steer and D. Rankin participate in the Pension Plan. E. Gonzalez previously participated in the Marine Plan prior to its merger into the Pension Plan, and he now participates in the Pension Plan. The Marine Plan provided the same benefits as provided under the Pension Plan. None of the other Named Executive Officers participate in the Pension Plan. Benefits under the Pension Plan are generally based upon the number of years of service and a percentage of final average remuneration (salary plus bonus), subject to limitations under applicable federal law. As of December 31, 2025, all of the participating Named Executive Officers were fully vested, as defined in the Pension Plan. Under the Pension Plan, the benefit payment for a married participant is pursuant to a “50 Percent Joint and Survivor Annuity.” This means the participant will receive a monthly annuity benefit for his/her lifetime, and an eligible surviving spouse will receive a lifetime annuity equal to 50 percent of the participant’s benefit. The payment of the benefit for an unmarried participant is pursuant to a “Single Life Annuity.” The Pension Plan allows for optional forms of payment under certain circumstances. The normal retirement age under the Pension Plan is age 65. However, unreduced benefits are available at age 62 with five years of service. The Pension Benefits table below shows the present value of the accumulated benefits that would be payable under the Pension

Plan at the earliest unreduced commencement age (i.e., age 62).

Each of the participating Named Executive Officers (other than D. Rankin) is 100 percent vested under a particular defined benefit (“Benefit”) that was frozen on December 31, 1993 as part of the Pension Plan. A definitive actuarial determination of the benefit amounts was made in 1995. The annual amounts payable upon retirement after attaining age 62 under this Benefit are as follows: R. Steer, $15,490 and E. Gonzalez, $2,643. Under the Pension Plan, the payment of this benefit is pursuant to a “Ten-Year Certain and Continuous Annuity.” This means the participant would receive a monthly annuity benefit for his lifetime and, if the participant dies while in the ten-year certain period, the balance of the ten-year benefit would be paid to his designated beneficiary. If the participant dies while employed by Seaboard or after retirement, but before the commencement of benefits, monthly payments would be made to the participant’s beneficiary in the form of a 100 percent joint and survivor benefit. The Pension Plan allows for optional forms of payment under certain circumstances.

The following table sets forth the Years of Credited Service, the Present Value of the Accumulated Benefit and the Payments During the Last Fiscal Year, pursuant to the specified plans for each of the participating Named Executive Officers.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans

Post-2018 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective January 1, 2019, Seaboard adopted the Seaboard Corporation Post-2018 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, which was amended and restated effective January 1, 2023 (the “Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan”), which provides deferred compensation benefits to a select group of Seaboard management or highly-compensated employees. All Named Executive Officers, other than E. Gonzalez, may participate in the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan, participants may defer salary and bonus, and/or be credited with a company contribution made at the discretion of Seaboard, to be paid by Seaboard at a later time, all in accordance with applicable ERISA and income tax laws and regulations. No income taxes are payable by the participants on amounts deferred or contributed by Seaboard pursuant to the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan until they are paid to the participant. The Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan also provides for a Company contribution to be credited to participants in an amount equal to Seaboard’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan employer matching contribution percentage, up to 4 percent for 2025, of each participant’s deferral contributions pursuant to such plan.

Elective contributions by participants and Company contributions to the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan, and the earnings thereon, are generally payable on the future date selected by the participant, or if earlier, upon the participant’s retirement; however, with respect to participating Named Executive Officers and any other “covered employees” under

Code Section 162(m), payment of such amounts will be deferred until the earlier of (i) the first taxable year that Seaboard anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the amount were distributed during such year, the deduction of such payment would not be barred by application of Code Section 162(m); or (ii) as soon as administratively feasible after the beginning of the sixth anniversary of the participant’s separation from service (regardless of such payment’s non-deductibility). In no event will a deferred amount be paid earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the month of the participant’s separation from service.

Following are amounts deferred and all company contributions credited to the participating Named Executive Officers under the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan. These amounts are included in the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table above.

Seaboard Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan

Effective January 1, 2022, Seaboard adopted the Seaboard Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”) which provides retirement benefits to a select group of Seaboard officers and managers, including J. Bresky and C. Groves. None of the other Named Executive Officers currently participate in the LTI Plan. Pursuant to the LTI Plan, annually, each participant may receive an award, which is in the form of a contribution to a bookkeeping account. Participants have the option to invest the account balance in various investment options, and the account balance is credited with the earnings and losses based on the performance of the investment options selected. An award to a participant vests upon the first to occur of the following (but at least five years after the participant’s first award was received): (a) three years after the date the award was granted; (b) upon the participant’s death or disability; (c) upon a change of control; or (d) upon the participant reaching age 60 (or upon receipt, if awarded when the participant is age 60 or older). The account balance with respect to each award that is vested is paid to a participant as soon as administratively feasible after the first to occur of the following (a) seven months after the participant’s retirement or separation from service; (b) upon the participant’s death or disability; or (c) upon a change of control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to participating Named Executive Officers and any other “covered employees” under Code Section 162(m), payment of the account balances may be deferred until the earlier of (i) the first taxable year that Seaboard anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the amount were distributed during such year, the deduction of such payment would not be barred by application of Code Section 162(m); or (ii) as soon as administratively feasible after the beginning of the sixth anniversary of the participant’s retirement or separation from service (regardless of such payment’s non-deductibility).

Following are the amounts awarded to the participating Named Executive Officers under the LTI Plan. These amounts are included in the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table above in the year in which the applicable award vests.

Prior Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

Through 2018, R. Steer and D. Rankin were participants in the Seaboard Corporation Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Prior Deferred Compensation Plan”), which provided deferred compensation benefits to a select group of Seaboard management or highly-compensated employees. None of the other Named Executive Officers participated in the Prior Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Prior Deferred Compensation Plan, participants had the right to defer salary and bonus to be paid by Seaboard at a later time, and to be credited with Company contributions in an amount equal to Seaboard’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan matching percentage of each participant’s deferral pursuant to the plan, all in accordance with applicable ERISA and income tax laws and regulations.

Effective January 1, 2019, Seaboard amended the Prior Deferred Compensation Plan to “freeze” the plan such that no additional contributions, whether in the form of employee elective deferrals or employer contributions (i.e., “Company Contributions” under the plan), and relating to compensation earned after December 31, 2018, were made to the Prior Deferred Compensation Plan. All plan accounts in the Prior Deferred Compensation Plan existing as of December 31, 2019 continue to experience an investment return and are distributed in accordance with the plan and any participant investment or deferral election as in effect on December 31, 2019.

Following are the earnings on the account balances for the participating Named Executive Officers under the Prior Deferred Compensation Plan.

401(k) Excess Plans

Effective January 1, 2009, Seaboard adopted the Seaboard Marine Ltd. 401(k) Excess Plan (the “Marine 401(k) Excess Plan”), which provides a benefit for certain employees of Seaboard Marine Ltd., including E. Gonzalez. Effective January 1, 2022, Seaboard also adopted the Seaboard Corporation 401(k) Excess Plan (the “Seaboard 401(k) Excess Plan and, together with the Marine 401(k) Excess Plan, the “401(k) Excess Plans”), in which certain employees of Seaboard, including each Named Executive Officer, participate. Pursuant to the 401(k) Excess Plans, participants are paid an amount equal to Seaboard’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan matching percentage, which for 2025, equaled 4 percent of each participant’s annual compensation in excess of the Tax Code limitation on the amount of compensation that can be taken into account under Seaboard’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. The amount of such limitation was $350,000 in 2025, $345,000 in 2024 and $330,000 in 2023. The benefit earned pursuant to the 401(k) Excess Plans by each Named Executive Officer for 2025 which will be paid thereto in 2026 is included in the Summary Compensation Table above.

Retiree Medical Benefit Plan

The Seaboard Corporation Retiree Medical Benefit Plan provides family medical insurance to certain members of Seaboard management, including each Named Executive Officer (other than C. Groves) upon his retirement in the event he has attained age 50, and has completed at least 15 years of service. This benefit is also furnished in the event the participating Named Executive Officer’s employment is involuntarily terminated (other than if the Named Executive Officer unlawfully converted a material amount of funds), or in the event of a change of control of Seaboard.

Following is a summary of the present value cost to Seaboard of this benefit for each participating Named Executive Officer, assuming that this benefit was triggered and said medical insurance began to be furnished on December 31, 2025.

(1)	To calculate the present value of this benefit, the assumptions for claims costs, health care trend, aging on claims, mortality and interest rate are the same as were used to accrue a liability on Seaboard’s balance sheet.

(2)	During 2025, an adjustment was made to the valuation of the Retiree Medical Benefit Plan liability to include the reimbursements for Medicare premiums offered under the plan. Accordingly, the present value of this benefit increased.

Executive Long-Term Disability Plan

The Seaboard Corporation Executive Long-Term Disability Plan provides disability pay continuation to certain members of Seaboard management, including each Named Executive Officer, upon a long-term illness or injury that prevents the participant from being able to perform his duties. Benefits are payable following a 90-day elimination or waiting period. Under the Seaboard Corporation Group Long-Term Disability Plan, benefits payable are equal to 70 percent of a participant’s salary and bonus, up to $30,000 per month for each Named Executive Officer.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview of Compensation Program

The Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and monitoring adherence with Seaboard’s compensation philosophy. The Board ensures that the total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers is fair, reasonable and competitive.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Seaboard maintains the philosophy that the compensation for its executive officers should reflect that these officers are responsible for implementing Seaboard’s long-term strategic objectives. The compensation of the executive officers is designed to ensure that Seaboard maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions, and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. Seaboard does not maintain any equity compensation plans, such as stock grants or stock options, unlike most of Seaboard’s peer companies. As a result, Seaboard does not maintain any policies or practices regarding timing or grants with respect to the Company’s announcements or hedging in Seaboard securities.

At the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company provided stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on executive compensation. The stockholders voted to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in the Company’s 2023 annual meeting proxy statement. The Board viewed the vote as a strong expression of the stockholders’ general satisfaction with the Company’s current executive compensation programs. At the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company also provided stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation. Consistent with the stockholders’ preference expressed in voting at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s executive officers would be conducted every three years. Accordingly, a stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation will take place at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. See “Item 2: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation”. The next stockholder vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation will take place at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Setting Executive Compensation

Based on the foregoing objectives, the Board of Directors establishes the salaries for the Named Executive Officers. The Board of Directors establishes the bonuses for the Named Executive Officers based upon the recommendation of Seaboard’s Chairwoman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and a subjective review of Company performance and individual performance.

A significant factor in determining total compensation is that Seaboard does not provide any equity incentive compensation, such as stock grants or stock options.

2025 Executive Compensation Components

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the principal components of compensation for the Named Executive Officers were:

●

Base salary;

●

Bonus award;

●

Retirement and other benefits; and

●

Perquisites and other personal benefits.

Salaries. The salaries for the Named Executive Officers generally are established by the Board of Directors each year based on the salary in effect for the immediately preceding year, adjusted for the estimated increase in the cost of living. For 2025, the Board of Directors determined the salaries for the Named Executive Officers by increasing the 2024 salaries by a cost of living adjustment.

Bonuses. The Board of Directors established the 2025 bonuses for the Named Executive Officers based upon the recommendations of Seaboard’s Chairwoman of the Board and President and based upon a subjective determination, primarily considering:

●

Individual review of the executive’s compensation, both individually and relative to other officers;

●

Individual performance of the executive; and

●

Seaboard’s review of its general financial and operational performance.

Retirement and Other Benefits. R. Steer and D. Rankin are each a participant in the Executive Retirement Plan. None of the other Named Executive Officers participate in the Executive Retirement Plan. The benefit under this plan is generally equal to 2.5 percent of the final average remuneration (salary plus bonus) of the participant, multiplied by the participant’s years of service in the plan after January 1, 1997, subject to a limitation in the number of years of service and final average remuneration. The exact amount of the benefits, the offsets thereto and the benefit for years of service prior to January 1, 1997 are set forth in more detail on page 14 of this proxy statement.

Seaboard also maintains a tax-qualified retirement savings plan, to which all U.S.-based employees, including the Named Executive Officers, are able to contribute their annual compensation, up to the limit prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. For 2025, Seaboard matched 100 percent of the first 3 percent of compensation contributed to the plan and 50 percent of the next 2 percent of compensation contributed to the plan. Beginning in 2022, all matching contributions vest after one year of service.

The Named Executive Officers (other than E. Gonzalez), in addition to certain other Seaboard employees, are entitled to participate in the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan, which gives participants the right to defer salary and bonus to be paid by Seaboard at a later time, all in accordance with applicable ERISA and income tax laws and regulations. In addition, Seaboard has the option to defer pursuant to this plan a portion of the bonus of a participating Named Executive Officer.

Seaboard’s LTI Plan provides retirement benefits for a select group of Seaboard officers and managers, including certain Named Executive Officers (J. Bresky and C. Groves). Pursuant to the LTI Plan, participants may receive an award, at the discretion of Seaboard, which will vest on the schedule set out in such plan.

Seaboard also maintains for each of the Named Executive Officers (other than C. Groves) and certain other executives the Seaboard Corporation Retiree Medical Benefit Plan, which provides family medical insurance to each participant upon retirement: (i) in the event the participant has attained age 50, and has at least 15 years of service; or (ii) in the event the participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated (other than if the participant unlawfully converted a material amount of funds); or (iii) in the event of a change of control of Seaboard.

The Board believes that Seaboard’s retirement and other benefits are consistent with the philosophy of Seaboard to provide security and stability of employment to the Named Executive Officers as a mechanism to attract and retain these employees.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits. Seaboard provides the Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other benefits that the Board believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable Seaboard to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. These include an automobile allowance, fuel card usage, life insurance, disability insurance, personal use of Seaboard’s airplane up to a specified number of hours, and paid time off.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, any compensation Seaboard pays to the Named Executive Officers in excess of $1,000,000 will not be deductible for income tax purposes unless it qualifies for transitional relief applicable to certain binding, written compensation arrangements that were in place as of November 2, 2017. Seaboard may in certain instances elect to defer compensation of the Named Executive Officers pursuant to the Post-2018 Deferred Compensation Plan or LTI Plan. To the extent Seaboard does not elect the deferral and compensation to any Named Executive Officer is in excess of $1,000,000, Seaboard may lose the deduction.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The entire Board of Directors (in the absence of a compensation committee) has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above with management, and based on this review and discussions, has determined that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in Seaboard’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and this proxy statement.

The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers. To assist the Board of Directors in determining 2025 bonuses and 2026 salaries for each of the Named Executive Officers, Seaboard’s Chairwoman of the Board and President discussed and recommended the 2025 bonuses and 2026 salaries, considering Seaboard’s performance and each Named Executive Officer’s performance during 2025. The 2025 bonuses and 2026 salaries for the Named Executive Officers were subsequently approved by the Board of Directors.

The members of the Board of Directors reviewing and discussing the Compensation Disclosure and Analysis are as follows:


Ellen S. Bresky	David A. Adamsen
Douglas W. Baena	Frances B. Shifman
Paul M. Squires
