In order to raise its share the company sold to the Mutual
Life Insurance Co. of New York $3,000,000 first mortgage and collat¬
eral trust sinking fund bonds; due 1961, secured by a mortgage on
most' of the company's tangible property and by pledge of certain
assets including the stock of Gair Bogota and (subsequently) the Mill
subsidiary.
Mutual also agreed to purchase an additional $2,000,000
.of these bonds on or before April l
1946, conditioned on the company's
obtaining at least $2,000,000 additional equity capital.
This condition
was met
by the exchange of $1,953,900 of the company's 40-year 6%
income
notes
for
preferred and common stock.
In retiring unex¬
changed notes the company paid $1,418,970.
This financing left the
company with about $1,500,000 additional cash and the right to obtain
$2,000,000 more.
