Seaboard had $31 million and $18 million of short-term investments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily euros, as of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As of September 28, 2024, Seaboard had long-term investments of $135 million in real estate and renewable energy facilities, classified in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, Seaboard had long-term investments of $207 million which included an investment of $68 million in a business development company (“BDC”). The BDC completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and became a publicly traded company on the NYSE during the first quarter of 2024. Seaboard’s securities in this BDC are subject to standard contractual sale restrictions associated with an IPO. These sale restrictions have phased expiration dates, with all restrictions expiring by February 2025. As of September 28, 2024, the BDC securities are included in short-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and in domestic equity securities in the table above. The reclassification of these securities from long-term investments to short-term investments was a non-cash activity on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
