On December 7, 2010, the registrant’s shareholders approved the conversion of each share of
the registrant’s nonvoting Common Stock, Par Value $0.50 Per Share, into a share of the
registrant’s Class A Common Stock, Par Value $0.50 Per Share. The registrant is also
redesignating the Class A Common Stock, Par Value $0.50 Per Share, as the Common Stock, Par
Value $0.50 Per Share. This Form 15 relates to the nonvoting Common Stock, Par Value $0.50
Per Share that was eliminated in the conversion, not the Class A Common Stock, Par Value $0.50
Per Share, that is being redesignated to the same name as the eliminated class. The
conversion is described in the registrant’s definitive proxy statement filed November 3, 2010. |
