In other words, the "fair and equitable" standard requires the same recognition of substantive rights irrespective of the method employed in a particular case for attaining the objectives of Section 11 (bi (2). More specifically, if a class of preferred stock has a measurable interest in an enterprise absent the maturing of liquidation preferences and a proportionately greater interest upon the maturity thereof, it would not be fair or equitable • under the statute to give recognition to the greater interest at the expense and to the detriment of the common stock.

In our view (including dividend arrearages) are treated would be unconscionable and contrary to it plain intention of Congress to so hold. It is our conclusion that we must judge the _ the fairness of the plan values existing apart from tne dutv of liquidation imposed by the statute., The existence of the liquidation preference does, of course, enter into the question, as it is one of the bundle of rights belonging to the preferred stock and affecting its normal value. The preference itself, however, will not be permitted to operate so as to be conclusive in the division of assets between the preferred and common stocks. 1 . By the foregoing we do not imply that compensation should or can be given in eliminating any "rights" which are proscribed by the statute as being unfair, such as the naked "right" to exercise a voting power which is inequitable under the statutory standards, or the "right," by misuse of power, to delay or prevent compliance with the statute ' The "legitimate investment value" to be accorded recognition may include those rights and expectancies which, although possibly predicated on an unsound or economically undes'rable structure, are not inherently unfair. An example is the interest of the common stock in net income over and above fixed amounts applicable to senior securities where there is a reasonable chance of such income. Al¬ though it is repugnant to the policies of the Act to have the corpo¬ ration continue in operation, the common stockholders' interest, in the earnings of Power's assets is not for that reason proscribed. The limitation of the preferred stock dividend to a fixed amount is a according to legitimate investment valuable right vested in the common stock; in light of the earning capacity recognizable even though it would take right of a and the value of such Power's assets, may be number of years, in the Monday, April 12, 1943 CHRONICLE COMMERCIAL. & FINANCIAL THE 1368 The uled for June 8 '• the to common stock—would clearly be to fair and equitable circumstances, the Under A'A,, A compensation will be ;A.:A'Ayi ; "A Ay In approaching the problem of passing upon the fairness of the proposed plan in the light of the principles discussed, it is our view that it is unnecessary to arrive at any specific over-all value for the enterprise or for the preferred and common stocks of Power.

Under all the circumstances it is our view that a participation for the common of approximately 5%, while representing the maximum, would not exceed the permissible limits of fairness, and to secure our approval the plan must be modified to reduce the common stockholders' participation accordingly. AA'AyA This conclusion takes into consideration the fact that, to the ex¬ tent its earnings should perchance exceed those estimated, the com¬ mon stock, in exchange for an allocation of approximately 5 % would toe giving up its claim to 95% of any possible excess over the amount necessary to satisfy the dividend preferences of the preferred. In other words, as the participation of the common stock approaches zero it is giving up, in exchange therefor and for the benefit of the preferred stock, nearly 100% of its chance of participating in any future earnings in excess of the existing preferences of the preferred. On the other hand, if earnings do not equal such preferences, the preferred stock gives up but approximately 5% of the earnings actu¬ respect is of necessity one of mathematical demonstration. ally realized. the Under • • here present, circumstances complete elimination of the common the we stock. ■!. improvement in compliance with the Act to destroy existing investment values. ing such mitted In emphatically opposed to any liquidation or reorganization that sacrifices or fails to recognize legitimate, values. In case of doubt I would prefer to err, if at all, on the side of optimism. But the A "I am legitimate value of Ra'.lways' common falls so far short of the claims of Power's preferred that it isn't even close. Indeed it is my convic¬ tion that the common's investment in Power was lost years ago, before of the Holding Company Act. I am happy to say that the system's future seems much brighter than the past. The elimina¬ tion of burdensome and superfluous companies, the simplification of the passage •> concomitant reduction in costs are all to the good and I recognize the careful conduct of the company's affairs by the present management. The plain and unfortunate fact, however, is that this company was handicapped from birth by congenital defects and deformities and picked up a few more thereafter; it was over-capitalized; it was over-pyramided; it paid excessive prices for property; it indulged in dubious accounting.
