Stock Data
PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS-Oct. 15, 1996, Com. stockholders received one Pfd. Stock Purchase right, expiring Oct. 16, 2006, for each Com. share. Privilege to entitlement trades with Co.'s Com. At the time the rights became exercisable, separate certificates will be distributed and the Rights could begin to trade separately from Co.'s Com. Rights become exercisable 10 days after an announcement that a person or group (Acquiring Person) had acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, 15% or more of Co.'s Com. shares, or following the commencement of an offer that would result in ownership of 15% or more of Co.'s Com. shares. Upon occurrence of such events, each Right would entitle the holder to buy from Co. one one-hundredth of a share of Ser.A Pfd. of Co. for $50. If Co. is involved in a merger or other business combination or more than 50% of its assets or earning power are sold or transferred, the Rights will be modified so as to entitle the holder to buy a number of the acquiring company's Com. shares having a market value of twice the exercise price of each Right. In the event a person becomes an Acquiring Person, each Right not owned by the Acquiring Person would become exercisable for the number of Co.'s Com. shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of each Right. After the Rights become exercisable, Co. may exchange each Right not owned by an Acquiring Person for consideration of one-half the securities issuable upon the exercise of each Right.
