Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect toSecurities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Person is one of the three depositors and trustees of the MGP Ingredients, Inc. Voting Trust (the "Voting Trust"), which was created under a voting trust agreement dated as of November 16, 2005 (the "Voting Trust") and which holds 333 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock, representing 76.2% of the outstanding shares of such class. The other two trustees of the Voting Trust are Cloud L. Cray, Jr. (Mr. Seaberg's father-in-law) and Richard B. Cray (Mr. Cray Jr.’s brother)

The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company entitle the holders of the Preferred Stock to elect five out of the Company’s nine directors. Only the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote upon any proposal which requires stockholder approval and which will authorize or direct the Company to merge with another corporation, consolidate, voluntarily dissolve, sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its property and assets, or amend its Articles of Incorporation; provided, that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, as a class, upon any such proposal if the result thereof would be to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, increase or decrease the par value of the shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock so as to affect the holders of Common Stock adversely. On all other matters, other than the election of directors, the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock each vote separately, as a class, and no such matter to be acted upon may be approved unless it receives the affirmative vote, consent or approval of the holders of a majority, or such greater percentage as may be required by law, of the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Preferred Stock.

The Voting Trust became effective on January 30, 2006 and was amended effective August 23, 2010. It will continue in effect until the last death of the issue of Cloud L. Cray, Sr. who was living at the creation of the Trust. There presently are 19 such persons living, the youngest of which is 34 years old. The Voting Trust may also be terminated by the consent of a majority of the Trustees or the beneficiaries of 90% of the shares held in the Voting Trust or upon the sale of all the shares held in the Voting Trust. Until the Voting Trust is terminated or dissolved, each Trustee may appoint a successor trustee, provided that any successor must either (i) meet (and continue to meet) the officer and shareholder qualifications that a successor trustee under the Trust must meet under the terms of the First Amendment to the Trust dated November 13, 1980 or (ii) be an issue of Cloud L. Cray, Sr., or the spouse of such issue, and own at least 10,000 share of the Company’s Common Stock. (As in the case of depositors of the Trust, the original trustees of the Voting Trust are not subject to this requirement). Only one person who is solely an issue of Cloud L. Cray, Sr., or the spouse of such issue, (and not also an officer) may serve as successor trustee at one time. The Trustees are permitted to act with respect to the voting or divestment of shares of the Company’s stock held by the Voting Trust in accordance with the decision of a majority of the Trustees.
