J. IS. Duke Heads
8157,000,000 Company
i A special from New York says:
A new tobacco merger, rep
resenting a combined capitaliza
tion of £ 157,000,000, involving
( the I'nited Retail Stores corpora
tion and the Tobacco Products
I corporation, was announced to
night by dames M. Dixon, presi
dent of the Tobacco Products
concern. The I'nited Retai!
Stores corporation, by stock own
ership, controls the United Cigar
Stores corporation,
James I!. Duke, founder of the
American Tobacco Company and
the I >ritish-American Tobacco
corporation, will be the guiding
head of the merged company.
Under the terms of the pro
posed consolidation, declared a
report given out tonight by the
! Products corporation, that con
cern. is to increase its capital
stock from $33,000,000 oar value
to *157,354.000 par value.
"The increase in the capitaliza
tion of Tobacco Products is
merely sufficient to take care of
the exchange of the two com
panies," said the statement.
. "The merger, therefore, is with-
' out stock increase.
"The new stock to be issued
by the Tobacco Products corpora
tion is to be composed of two
classes, one 'A' and the other
common. Class 'A' is to be 7
per cent non-cumulative on which
dividends are to be paid soon
after the completion of the ;
merger. The common, it is be-'
lieved by the olficers of the To- !
bacco Products corporation, will .
recieye a dividend of not less
than 5 per cent, for the coming
fiscal year beginning July 1,
19--. That belief is based on
present earnings of the corpora-1
tions and on an estimate of the
increased earnings capacity
which will be the outcome of the
combination of the two com
panies. I
"The proposal to the stockhold
ers of each company is an ex
change of their holdings of com
mon stock in each corporation
for one-half share of class 'A' of'
the new seven per cent Tobacco
Products stock and one-half l
share of the new common, for
each one share of the present,
holdings of the common stock.
The option, however, is expected
to be extended to the stockhold
ers of both companies of stock of
the present corporations."
No stockholder in either corp
oration, the statement said, is j
compelled to make the exchange, !
but may ignore the merger. '
"Holders of llotai 1 stores stock
who do exchange," continued the
report, "will obtain a certain
return cf 3' per cent and a bonus
in common stock that is expected
to Yield an additional per
' l
It was announced that owners
5 of a large number of shares of
I the Tobacco Products corporation
had approved the proposal for
the increased capitalization, and
that the proposal would be voted
on at a special meeting of stock-
I- holders to be held in Richmond,
Ya., >'une L'S.
Mr. Dixon, present head of
Z Tobacco Products, will be presi*
I dent of the new concern. It is
B unofficially understood that the
I new merger will enable Charles
1 A. Wheian, chairman of the
board of directors of the United
|; Cigar Stores, to retire from the
j active management of that con-
Jf cern.
Mr. Duke, whose return to the
tobacco trade has long been pre
dicted by Wall Street, is a direct
or of the United Cigar Stores.
' Thomas B. Yule, formerly asso
ciated with Mr. Duke, will join
the new board as the advisory
head of the leaf tobacco buying
" department.
