SENEA: DEF 14A · proxy statement
Seneca Foods filed a definitive proxy statement for a special shareholder meeting on November 4, 2026, to vote on a five-for-one forward stock split. The split applies to Class A and Class B common stock, the 6% Preferred Stock, and all designated series of Class A Preferred Stock, with par values cut from $0.25 to $0.05 and authorized Class A common shares rising from 20 million to 100 million.
The board says the split is intended to make the stock more accessible to investors after a significant rise in the share price, and notes it will not change shareholders' proportional ownership or the aggregate dividends and redemption amounts on preferred stock.
A second, linked proposal removes the 30,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock Without Par Value, which have never been issued. Both amendments must be approved together, and the board retains discretion to abandon the split even after shareholder approval.

SENEA: 8-K · amendment
Seneca Foods Corporation's board approved a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation on September 21, 2026, reducing the designated shares of Convertible Participating Preferred Stock from 4,166,667 to 6,602 to reflect that 4,160,065 shares had previously been retired and canceled. The remaining 6,602 shares are designated, issued and outstanding.
The amendment also deletes the charter article governing the fourth series of 967,742 shares of Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series 2003, since all of those shares have already been retired and canceled. Under the charter terms, canceled preferred shares automatically revert to authorized Class A Preferred Stock.
The filing additionally updates the company's official office location to 350 WillowBrook Office Park, Fairport, New York, as the address for service of process. This is administrative housekeeping with no impact on operations, capital structure, or holders of the company's Class A (SENEA) and Class B (SENEB) common stock.

SENEA: PRE 14A · stock split
Seneca Foods filed a preliminary proxy statement for a special meeting on November 4, 2026 at which shareholders will vote on a five-for-one forward stock split and the removal of the 30,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock Without Par Value, with a September 14, 2026 record date.
The split would apply to every class of capital stock — Class A and Class B common, 6% Preferred, and the 10% Series A, 10% Series B and Participating Preferred — lifting authorized Class A common from 20 million to 100 million shares and cutting par value from $0.25 to $0.05. The board says the move responds to a share price that has risen significantly over the past several years, and is intended to make the stock more accessible and liquid for current and prospective investors.
The split does not change any holder's proportionate ownership or aggregate dividends, though per-share results will fall proportionally. Both proposals are cross-conditioned and the board unanimously recommends a FOR vote while reserving the right to abandon the split; Class A common carries only one-twentieth of a vote per share, so voting power remains concentrated in the Wolcott and Kayser family preferred holdings.

Seneca Foods Reports Sales and Earnings for the Three Months Ended June 27, 2026
Seneca Foods reported Q1 net sales of $405.2 million, a significant increase from $297.5 million in the prior year, driven by higher sales volume, the Green Giant Frozen acquisition, and product mix.
Diluted earnings per share rose to $2.85 from $2.14 year-over-year, though GAAP gross margin percentage declined to 11.8% from 14.1% due to a non-cash charge related to the Green Giant bargain purchase.
Management noted that gross margin expanded 100 basis points on a FIFO basis as high-cost inventory clears, and stated that the fresh pack season and integration efforts are progressing well.
