I t i e obvious t h a t the payment o f dividend* by Transaaerica Corporation

been dependent l a r g e l y upon the dividend p o l i c y of Bank of America

H*T* & 5«A«
I n v i e v of the large amount due to B&nk of America !?,?« & £»A*, and
t o Bsnk of America (State) by Tr&nsaaerica Corporation and i t a s u b s i d i a r i e s
and the nature o f a l a r g e amount o f the other assets i n the beaks, i t appears
t h r t a l l earnings o f the banks should be uced t o w r i t e down the c r i t i c ! s o c
obligations*

However, i a view o f the type o f p u b l i c i t y whioh hi s been

given to the alleged earnings o t the bank since i t r*suiasd dividend payments
i n 195? and the f a c t t h a t no o b j e c t i o n seems t o have been o f f e r e d to the
divioend anr p u b l i c i t y p o l i c y o f Transaaerica Corporation and Sank of
America, a sharp reduction i n dividend payments s t t h i s time would aost
probably r e s u l t I n unfavorable r e a c t i o n *

I n any event, I n a l l p r o b a b i l i t y

such a reduction would have a noticeable e f f e c t upon the quoted prices o f
'Iran saaer ice Corporation stock, which has shown recent r a p i d r i s e s , anc
would tend t o d i s c r e d i t the management i n the eyes o f shareholders, i f not
i n the eyes of the depositors o f the bank also*

I t i s believed t h a t i f

the Board should deny a general v o t i n g permit i n t h i s case, on the grounds
o f u n s a t i s f a c t o r y f i n a n c i a l c o n d i t i o n , the p o l i c i e s o f the aan*£ement, e t c * ,
no unfavorable p u b l i c r e a c t i o n would r e s u l t f r o a such a c t i o n by the Board*
Ob the other hand, i t i s believed t h a t the g r a n t i n g of a general v o t i n g
permit would be regsrded by the p u b l i c as an approval by the Board o f the
p o l i c i e s o f the group — past, present and f u t u r e — e s p e c i a l l y i f Transamerica Corporation should advertise i n i t s annual r e p o r t s and other media
t h a t i t had received the Board's stamp o f approval i a the form o f a general

- 10 -

c o n d i t i o n , the management, and the e f f e c t o f the r e l a t i o n e upon the member
hanks*
According t o a recent prospectus on the earnings of the group,
o s t e n s i b l y prepared by s brokerage f i r a , and a c l i p p i n g forwarded t o the
Board which was taken f r o n the Oakland ( C a l i f o r n i a ) Tribune o f Boversber 15,
1955, I t I s claimed t h a t earnings of the group f o r 1955 are expected to
exceed the 1954 earnings to a very great e x t a n t , f r o n a l l o f which i t nay
be expected t h a t f u r t h e r increased dividends nay bf

forthcoming,

Should the s a i l i n g p r i e e of Tran&aaerice Corporation shares continue
t o r i e e , presumably as a. r e s u l t o f tho a d v e r t i s i n g r e l a t i v e t o large earni n g s , e t c , , i t might be s t a t e d t h a t the bank would receive some d i r e c t
b e n e f i t inasmuch as i t holds 804,596 shares o f Trsnsamerica Corporation stock
as the sole c o l l a t e r a l t o loans aggregating #5,964,000 and holds 684,794
shares as p a r t i a l c o l l a t e r a l t o other loans o f which amount $4,49*0,000 i s
dependent upon such s t o c k .

Furthermore, should t h e p r i c e o f the stock be

caused t o r i s e t o some f i g u r e , say $25 or $50 per share, the c o r p o r a t i o n
would be i n a p o s i t i o n t o s o i l a d d i t i o n a l shares f o r cash and use the proceeds
t h e r e o f t o r e t i r e some o f the o b l i g a t i o n s o f the h o l d i n g company t o the subsidi a r y bank.

The low cuoted p r i c e f o r the stock f o r 1955 eas s l i g h t l y under

$5,00 per share as compared w i t h the present high o f over 115,00 per share,
