Stockholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss |
Stockholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss | Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss In October 2019, the Board of Directors extended through October 31, 2020 Seaboard’s share repurchase program. Under this share repurchase program, Seaboard is authorized to repurchase its common stock from time to time in open market or privately negotiated purchases, which may be above or below the traded market price. During the period that the share repurchase program remains in effect, Seaboard may enter into a 10b5-1 plan authorizing a third party to make such purchases on behalf of Seaboard. All stock repurchased will be made in compliance with applicable legal requirements and funded by cash on hand. The timing of the repurchases and the number of shares repurchased will depend upon market conditions, compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and other factors. The Board of Directors’ stock repurchase authorization does not obligate Seaboard to acquire a specific amount of common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be suspended at any time at Seaboard’s discretion. As of September 28, 2019, $78 million remained available for repurchase under this program. Seaboard repurchased 4,369 shares of common stock at a total price of $17 million during the nine months ended September 28, 2019. The changes in the components of other comprehensive income (loss), net of related taxes, are as follows: ​

Unrecognized pension cost | ​ |  | (54) | ​ |  | (61) | ​
Total accumulated other comprehensive loss | ​ | $ | (412) | ​ | $ | (410) | ​
​ The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment primarily represents the effect of the Argentine peso currency exchange fluctuation on the net assets of the Sugar & Alcohol segment. However, effective in the third quarter of 2018, the Sugar & Alcohol segment’s functional currency changed from the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar due to highly inflationary accounting. As of September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, income taxes for the cumulative unrecognized pension cost were recorded using an effective tax rate of 26% except for unrecognized pension cost of $20 million and $23 million, respectively, related to employees at certain subsidiaries for which no tax benefit was recorded.
