According to R. J. Morfa, Chairman, the company hopes to formu;■
this year a recapitalization plan, the primary purpose of which
Will be to liquidate accruals of unpaid preferred dividends.
,
Tentative recapitalization discussions, Mr* Morfa
added, revolve
about an exchange of each share of present preferred stock on which
unpaid dividends amounted to $99.75 a share on Dec. 31, 1945, for a, ;,
share of new prior preferred stock, "plus something else." - Accumu¬
lations of unpaid interest on the railroad's adjustment mortgage bonds
also remain, to be settled.
