Consequently the proposed recapitalization will alter the position cf the outstanding series A and series B tc the extent that additional shares may be issued in the future on a parity with them rather than in the subordinate position of the present preference stock. To com¬ pensate for such change, the company will Waive its right to redeem any shares of the new convertible 4% series A prior to Aug. 1, 1948, and the dividend rate of the new series B v/iJl be increased to 3.75 '< from the 3.60% rate of the outstanding series, the new rate to be effective as of Feb. 1, 1947.
