STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a leading low cost producer and distributor of high quality processed fruits and vegetables. Our product offerings include canned, frozen and
bottled produce and snack chips and our products are sold under private labels, as well as national and regional brands that we own or license, including Seneca, Libby&#146;s, Aunt Nellie&#146;s Farm Kitchen, Stokely&#146;s, Read and Diamond A. We
pack Green Giant, Le Sueur and other brands of canned vegetables, as well as select Green Giant frozen vegetables, under our long-term Alliance Agreement with General Mills Operations, LLC, which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as GMOL, a
successor to The Pillsbury Company LLC and a subsidiary of General Mills, Inc. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Seneca Foods Corporation was founded in 1949 and, during
our 60 years of operation, we have made over 50 strategic acquisitions including the purchase of the long-term license for the Libby&#146;s brand in 1983, the purchase of General Mills&#146; Green Giant processing assets in 1995 and the acquisition
of Chiquita Processed Foods in 2003. We believe that these acquisitions have enhanced our leadership position in the private label and foodservice canned vegetable markets in the United States and significantly increased our ability to sell our
products internationally. In August 2006, we acquired Signature Fruit Company, LLC, a leading producer of canned fruits located in Modesto, California. This acquisition allowed us to broaden our product offerings, to become a leading producer and
distributor of canned fruit and to achieve cost advantages through the realization of distribution and other synergies with our canned vegetable business. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, we owned 20 processing plants strategically located throughout the United States, two can manufacturing plants, two seed processing operations, a small farming operation and a small truck
fleet. We also maintain warehouses that are generally located adjacent to our processing plants. Our principal executive office is located at 3736 South Main Street, Marion, New York and our telephone number is (315)&nbsp;926-8100. We also maintain
a web site at www.senecafoods.com. The information found on, or otherwise accessible through, our web site is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of, this prospectus. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

one full vote on all matters on which shareholders currently are entitled to vote, including the election of directors. Each holder of Class&nbsp;A common stock is entitled to one-twentieth (1/20)&nbsp;of one vote per share on all matters on which
shareholders are entitled to vote, including the election of directors. Cumulative voting is not authorized for the holders of common stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

the number of shares of Class B common stock which must be issued in a proposed stock dividend with respect to Class B common stock and an equivalent stock dividend of Class&nbsp;A common stock will be effected concurrently with respect to
Class&nbsp;A common stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, Section&nbsp;804 of the New York Business Corporation Law confers upon the holders of Class&nbsp;A

authorized; (ii)&nbsp;change Class&nbsp;A common stock by (a)&nbsp;reducing the par value, (b)&nbsp;changing the shares into a different number of the same class or into a different or same number of shares of a different class, or (c)&nbsp;fixing,
changing or abolishing the designation of Class&nbsp;A common stock or any series thereof or any of the relative rights, preferences, and limitations of the shares; or (iii)&nbsp;subordinate their rights by authorizing shares having preferences
which would be in any respect superior to their rights. Other provisions of the New York Business Corporation Law would entitle holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock to vote as a separate class for approval of any plan of merger, consolidation or

proposal must be approved by a majority of the votes of all outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock. Consequently, holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock, by withholding such approval, can defeat a proposal notwithstanding that holders of a
majority of Class B common stock vote in favor of the proposal. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Dividends and Other Distributions.</I> Each share of Class&nbsp;A
common stock and Class B common stock is equal in respect to dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property except that (i)&nbsp;if declared, a dividend or distribution in our shares on Class&nbsp;A common stock will be paid only in
Class&nbsp;A common stock, and (ii)&nbsp;if declared, a dividend or distribution in our shares on Class B common stock will be paid only in Class B common stock. The number of shares so paid as a dividend or distribution on each share of
Class&nbsp;A common stock and Class B common stock shall be equal, although the class of the shares so paid shall differ depending upon whether the recipient of the dividend is a holder of Class&nbsp;A common stock or Class B common stock.

the surviving entity) or in the event of our dissolution, the holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock will be entitled to receive the same per share consideration as the per share consideration, if any, received by holders of Class B common stock in
that transaction. However, any shares of common stock that holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock become entitled to receive in the transaction may have terms substantially similar to the Class&nbsp;A common stock themselves. Thus, the surviving
entity in any such transaction could have a dual-class capital structure like ours and could, upon consummation of the merger or consolidation, give full voting shares to the holders of Class B common stock and one-twentieth (1/20)&nbsp;voting
shares to the holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Class&nbsp;A Special Rights.</I> Our Charter contains a two-pronged &#147;Class A
special rights&#148; provision which is intended to protect holders of Class&nbsp;A common stock in the event that a person attempts to gain control of us. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">First, the Class&nbsp;A special rights seek to prevent a person who has crossed a certain ownership threshold from gaining control of us by acquiring Class B common stock without buying Class&nbsp;A common stock. If
any person acquires more than 15% of the outstanding Class B common stock after August&nbsp;5, 1995, referred to herein as the Threshold Date, and does not acquire after the Threshold Date a percentage of the Class&nbsp;A common stock outstanding at
least equal to the percentage of Class B common stock that the person acquired in excess of the 15% threshold, such person will not be allowed to vote shares of Class B common stock acquired in excess of the 15% threshold. For example, if a person
acquires 20% of the outstanding Class B common stock after the Threshold Date but acquires no Class&nbsp;A common stock, that person would be unable to vote the 5% of the Class B common stock acquired in excess of the 15% threshold. With respect to
persons who owned our common stock on or prior to the Threshold Date, only shares of Class B common stock acquired after the Threshold Date will be counted in determining whether that shareholder has exceeded the 15% threshold for acquisitions of
Class B common stock and only acquisitions of Class&nbsp;A common stock after the Threshold Date will be counted in determining whether that shareholder&#146;s Class&nbsp;A common stock acquisitions have been at least equal to the acquisition of
Class B common stock in excess of the 15% threshold. The inability of the person to vote the excess Class B common stock will continue until such time as a sufficient number of shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock have been acquired by the person to
satisfy the requirements of the Class&nbsp;A special rights. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The second prong of the Class&nbsp;A special rights is an &#147;equitable
price&#148; requirement. It is intended to prevent a person seeking to acquire control of us from paying a discounted price for the Class&nbsp;A common stock required to be purchased by the acquiring person under the first prong of the Class&nbsp;A
special rights. These provisions provide that an equitable price has been paid for shares of Class&nbsp;A common stock only when they have been acquired at a price at least equal to the greater of (i)&nbsp;the highest per share price paid by the
acquiring person, in cash or in non-cash consideration, for any Class B common stock acquired within the 60 day periods preceding and following the acquisition of the Class&nbsp;A common stock or (ii)&nbsp;the highest closing market sale price of
Class B common stock during the 30 day periods preceding and following the acquisition of the Class&nbsp;A common stock. The value of any non-cash consideration will be determined by our Board of Directors acting in good faith. </FONT>

periods preceding and following the acquisition of a share of Class B common stock as determined by our Board of Directors acting in good faith. The equitable price provision is intended to require a person seeking to acquire control of us to buy
the Class B common stock and the Class&nbsp;A common stock at virtually the same time and the same price, as might occur in a tender offer, to ensure that the acquiring person would be able to vote the Class B common stock acquired in excess of the

B common stock pursuant to the conversion provisions of Series A preferred stock outstanding prior to the Threshold Date, (b)&nbsp;by bequest or inheritance or by operation of law upon the death or incompetency of any individual, and (c)&nbsp;by any
other transfer made without valuable consideration, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing the Class&nbsp;A special rights. A gift made to any person who is related to the donor by blood or marriage, a gift made to a charitable
organization qualified under Section&nbsp;501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or a successor provision and a gift to a person who is a fiduciary solely for the benefit of, or which is owned entirely by, one or more persons or

In that event, immediately upon the occurrence thereof, all of the outstanding Class&nbsp;A common stock is converted automatically into Class B common stock on a share-for-share basis and Class B common stock will no longer be convertible into

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Charter provides that we are required to indemnify each and every officer or director of the Company, even those whose term has expired, for any and
all expenses actually and necessarily incurred by such director or officer in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company. We are
not required to indemnify a director or officer for matters as to which such officer or director is adjudged to be liable for neglect or misconduct in the performance of his duties as director or officer. Further, the rights of the officers or
directors to indemnification are not exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director of the Company is entitled. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under our
Bylaws, as amended (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;), the Company has the authority to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the New York Business Corporation Law (Sections 721-726) (the &#147;BCL&#148;). The Bylaws,
reflecting New York law, extend such protection to any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise, which any director, officer or employee of the Company served in any capacity at the request of the Company, by reason of the fact that such director or officer, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of
the Company or is or was serving such enterprise at the request of the Company. The Bylaws provide that such indemnification may be authorized pursuant to the terms and conditions of (i)&nbsp;a resolution of shareholders; (ii)&nbsp;a resolution of
the Board of Directors; (iii)&nbsp;an agreement providing for such indemnification; or (iv)&nbsp;any judicial or other legal authority which entitles the director, officer or employee to such indemnification. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The BCL provides that, if successful on the merits or otherwise, an officer or director is entitled to indemnification by the Company against amounts
paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted in good faith, for a
purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or at least not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. The termination of any action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or plea of <I>nolo contendere</I>, or its equivalent, does
not itself create the presumption that such director or officer did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If a corporation fails to provide indemnification to its directors or officers, the BCL provides that despite any
contrary resolution of the board of directors or shareholders, indemnification may be awarded by application to the appropriate judicial authority. Application for such court-ordered indemnification may be made either in the civil action or
proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid or to the supreme court in a separate proceeding. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
