Officers. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;24, 2019, the Compensation Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;) of the Board of Directors of Sanderson
Farms, Inc. (the &#147;Registrant&#148;) adopted a Bonus Award Program for the Registrant&#146;s salaried employees and management trainees effective November&nbsp;1, 2018. If the Registrant meets net income per share and minimum return on average
stockholders&#146; equity goals for the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2019, the program provides for the award of bonuses to eligible participants equal to a percentage of their base salary. For the Named Executive Officers and certain other
key members of management, the total potential award has two components: a percentage based on the Registrant&#146;s earnings per share, and a percentage based on the Registrant&#146;s operational performance as measured by Agristats, a private
industry benchmarking service that analyzes performance data submitted by a significant majority of the poultry industry. If the Registrant earns the maximum earnings per share goal under the program, and if it performs at the top tier of
operational performance specified in the program (as reported by Agristats), the Named Executive Officers would earn the maximum possible bonus under the program as follows: $3,036,600 for the Chairman and CEO (200% of base salary), $1,185,155 for
the President and COO (160% of base salary), $888,653 for the Treasurer and CFO (140% of base salary), and $267,792 for the Secretary and Chief Accounting Officer (80% of base salary). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In setting the earnings per share goals under the program, the Committee attempted to neutralize the benefit the Registrant would receive from
a lower effective tax rate that could apply to the Registrant in fiscal 2019 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, as compared with the Registrant&#146;s effective tax rate prior to the enactment of that legislation. </P>

text of the Bonus Award Program, which is filed herewith as Exhibit&nbsp;10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Section&nbsp;9 &#151; Financial

Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain
Officers.
On January 24, 2019, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Sanderson
Farms, Inc. (the "Registrant") adopted a Bonus Award Program for the Registrant's salaried employees and management trainees effective November 1, 2018. If the Registrant meets net income per share and minimum return on average
stockholders' equity goals for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, the program provides for the award of bonuses to eligible participants equal to a percentage of their base salary. For the Named Executive Officers and certain other
key members of management, the total potential award has two components: a percentage based on the Registrant's earnings per share, and a percentage based on the Registrant's operational performance as measured by Agristats, a private
industry benchmarking service that analyzes performance data submitted by a significant majority of the poultry industry. If the Registrant earns the maximum earnings per share goal under the program, and if it performs at the top tier of
operational performance specified in the program (as reported by Agristats), the Named Executive Officers would earn the maximum possible bonus under the program as follows: $3,036,600 for the Chairman and CEO (200% of base salary), $1,185,155 for
the President and COO (160% of base salary), $888,653 for the Treasurer and CFO (140% of base salary), and $267,792 for the Secretary and Chief Accounting Officer (80% of base salary).
In setting the earnings per share goals under the program, the Committee attempted to neutralize the benefit the Registrant would receive from
a lower effective tax rate that could apply to the Registrant in fiscal 2019 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, as compared with the Registrant's effective tax rate prior to the enactment of that legislation.
The foregoing description of the Bonus Award Program does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Bonus Award Program, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
