Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers On July 31, 2023, Seaboard Marine Ltd. (“Seaboard Marine”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, entered into a certain First Amendment to Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”), amending the Employment Agreement of Edward A. Gonzalez, Seaboard Marine’s President and Chief Executive Officer, dated December 21, 2012 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”). The Amendment (a) extends the term of Mr. Gonzalez’s employment from a term ending on December 31, 2024, with one-year renewal terms thereafter but not extending beyond December 31, 2027,to an initial term ending on December 31, 2025, provided that on each of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, Mr. Gonzalez’s employment term will automatically renew for three-year terms unless a notice of non-renewal is given by Seaboard Marine and (b) extends the non-compete period from six months to one year following Mr. Gonzalez’s termination of employment. The Employment Agreement provides for payment of severance upon termination of employment in certain circumstances. Such extension of Mr. Gonzalez’s employment term will increase the potential severance payout obligation. All other terms of Mr. Gonzalez’s Employment Agreement remain unmodified. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registrant’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2023.
