Related Party Transaction, Due from (to) Related Party [Abstract] |
Transactions With Related Parties | TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES We have related party leases for two wastewater facilities with an entity owned by the Donald J. Tyson Revocable Trust (for which Mr. John Tyson, Chairman of the Company, is a trustee), Berry Street Waste Water Treatment Plant, LP (90% of which is owned by the Tyson Limited Partnership), and the sisters of Mr. Tyson. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2020, these leases were both classified as short-term operating leases. Based on the assessment of the renewal of these leases, as of October 3, 2020, one lease was classified as a finance lease with a debt balance of $7 million which is primarily recognized as Long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Total payments of approximately $1 million in each of fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 were paid to lease the facilities. As of October 3, 2020, the TLP, of which John Tyson and director Barbara Tyson are general partners, owned 70 million shares, or 99.985% of our outstanding Class B stock and, along with the members of the Tyson family, owned 6.6 million shares of Class A stock, giving it control of approximately 71.06% of the total voting power of our outstanding voting stock. In August 2017, the Company committed to invest $5 million for a 17.5% equity interest in Buchan Ltd., a Mauritian private holding company of poultry operations in sub-Saharan Africa. Acacia Foods, B.V. is committed to invest $9 million in Buchan Ltd. Donnie Smith, who during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 was Chief Executive Officer of the Company, serves as the Chairman of Acacia Foods, B.V. and as a director of Buchan Ltd. John Randal Tyson (son of John Tyson and Chief Sustainability Officer) serves as a director of Buchan Ltd. for the Company. We completed our funding commitment in fiscal 2018.
