Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment No. 6” or “Schedule 13D”) amends the Schedule 13D originally filed by certain of the Reporting Persons on November 2, 2006 (as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Common Stock $1.00 Par Value (the “Common Stock”) of Seaboard Corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

The information set forth in Item 6 is hereby incorporated by reference into Item 4 of this Amendment No. 6.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and they intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

The Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons, including Ms. Bresky in her position as a director of the Issuer, may engage in discussions with management, the Board, and other securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: security offerings and/or stock repurchases by the Issuer; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Board.

To facilitate their consideration of such matters, the Reporting Persons may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other third parties. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements. The Reporting Persons will likely take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their consideration of various possible courses of action before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.

The Reporting Persons are not currently pursuing and have no intention to pursue, nor have the Reporting Persons had any discussions with the Board regarding, any sale or change of control transaction involving the Issuer, nor any other similar transaction involving the sale of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons to an unrelated third party.

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
