Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
 
On September 21, 2026, the Board of Directors of Seneca Foods Corporation (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to (i) amend Article 4(d)(F) of the Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock designated Convertible Participating Preferred Stock from 4,166,667 to 6,602 to reflect that as of September 21, 2026, 4,160,065 shares of Convertible Participating Preferred Stock have previously been retired and canceled; (ii) delete Article 4(d)(G) of the Certificate of Incorporation, which previously set forth the relative rights, preferences and limitations of a fourth series of 967,742 shares of Class A Preferred Stock designated Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series 2003 since all such shares of the Series 2003 Preferred Stock have previously been retired and canceled; and (iii) change the location of the Company’s office and change the address to which the New York Secretary of State shall mail a copy of any process against the Company. Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, any shares of Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series 2003 automatically become authorized shares of Class A Preferred Stock when such shares are retired and cancelled.
 
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Certificate of Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
