MGP INGREDIENTS, INC.

Beneficial ownership of MGP Ingredients, Inc. common stock is disclosed through individual filings that shareholders crossing certain thresholds must make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, rather than through a single consolidated public shareholder register. Available shareholder information for MGP Ingredients, Inc. is therefore best described as major shareholders only: it covers holders that have filed Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G disclosures, and it does not capture the company’s full shareholder base, most of whom hold shares through brokers and are not individually named. As of 20 February 2026, MGP Ingredients, Inc. had 21,363,225 shares of common stock outstanding.

The largest disclosed shareholder group is associated with the Cray and Seaberg families, descendants of company founder Cloud L. Cray, Sr. A Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC reporting an event date of 9 December 2025 shows Karen Seaberg individually beneficially owning 2,069,356 shares of common stock, approximately 9.7% of the class, held directly and through trusts and family entities. The same filing reports Cray Family Management, LLC and Cray MGP Holdings, LP together holding 1,748,733 shares (approximately 8.2%) with shared voting and dispositive power, and related Seaberg family entities holding smaller stakes. These parties are treated as a reporting group for SEC disclosure purposes rather than as a single shareholder. An earlier Schedule 13D/A, reporting an event date of 1 April 2021, also stated that Karen Seaberg held a majority of the company’s outstanding Preferred Stock, a class carrying the right to elect a defined number of directors; a more current Preferred Stock ownership percentage was not independently verified for this profile.

Separately, BlackRock, Inc. reported passive beneficial ownership of 1,108,095 shares of MGP Ingredients, Inc. common stock, equal to 5.2% of the class, in a Schedule 13G filed 29 July 2026 covering its position as of 30 June 2026.

Ultimate beneficial ownership: no individual has been identified in SEC filings as holding, based on common stock alone, an interest in MGP Ingredients, Inc. that clearly exceeds a 25% threshold; Karen Seaberg’s reported common-stock interest of approximately 9.7% is below that level. Because the company’s Preferred Stock carries board-election rights rather than a straightforward economic percentage, and a current Preferred Stock ownership percentage could not be independently confirmed beyond the 2021 filing referenced above, no definitive ultimate beneficial owner is identified here.

Data availability: shareholder information for MGP Ingredients, Inc., a Nasdaq-listed U.S. company, is available only for major shareholders that file Schedule 13D or 13G disclosures with the SEC; ownership of the remaining public float is not disclosed at the individual level. Information date: 9 December 2025 (Cray/Seaberg group) and 30 June 2026 (BlackRock, Inc.), both drawn from SEC EDGAR filings retrieved September 2026.

MGP Ingredients, Inc.’s Kansas corporate registration discloses a substantial number of officer records reflecting appointments made over time. The company’s own SEC reporting identifies a smaller group of current executive officers holding day-to-day management authority. Per the company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on 25 February 2026 for the year ended 31 December 2025, the named executive officers include Julie Francis (President and Chief Executive Officer), Brandon Gall (Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer) and Kathleen S. Molamphy (Chief Legal and Human Resources Officer, Secretary). The registry data collected for this profile does not appear fully current: it records T J Lynn as an active Secretary and Vice President, whereas the company’s recent SEC filings and official leadership pages instead show Kathleen Molamphy holding the Secretary role.
