PROPOSAL TCa SPLIT PRESENTLY OUTSTAND- ING CQ~MMON STOCK AND TO MODIFY AUTHORIZED STOCK The Board of Directors recommends that the presently outstanding shares of Common Stock be split on a 2~ for 1 basils andy for that purpose, that the Certificate of Incorporation of'the Company be amended so as to change the presently author- ized 5,000',000sharesof Common Stockof'thepar valtze of $10 each into 10;000;0~W 7' 89 29:859 t

shares of Common Stock of' the par value of $5 each and' to provide that each of the presently outstanding shares of Common Stock be split into 2' newly author- ized shares of Common Stock of the par value of $5 each. IyTo~ change is proposed in the rights or privileges of the Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Commoni Stock of the Company is ent'itled' to purchase his pro rata proportionl according, to the number of shares held by him, of Common Stock issued for cash, except 3'5,500 presently authorizedi shares (which would become 71',000 newly authorized shares) of Common Stock which may be issued on the exercise of options that may be granted hereafter pursuant to the Restricted Stock Option Pls:n of the Company and as to which shares such preemptive rights have beeni waived, In the opinion, of'the Boardi of' Directors the proposed' stock split, if effeeted', would result ini greater marketability of the shares of Common Stock. The cost of selling and transferring the shares currently held by a, holder of Common Stock would be higher after the proposed stock: split than the corresponding_eost in respect of the stockhol'der"s presently outstanding shares. Assuming a market price of'$80 per share (approximate market price on February 19, 1959), the cost of selling 100' of the presently authorized shares in New York on that date would be $54.36. The cost of: so selling, 200 shares after the proposed stock split at an assumed price of $40' per share would be $89'.36. Since the above-mentioned proposal merely involves a stock split, no financiall statements are furnished herewith. Counsel advise that, in their opinion, under present Federal income tax laws, the proposed stock split would not be taxable to the holders of' Common Stock. The specific recommendation of the Board' of Directors as to the proposed d amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to carry out such proposal is set forth below as "Proposed Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation." Under the applicable IrTew Jersey law the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds in interest of each of' the Common Stock and Preferred Stock out- standing at the close of'business on February 19, 1959 is necessary for the adoption of'the proposed amendment. 8,c~,,c~ ; SGa, 8

i1 PROPOSED' AMENDMENT TO CERTi IFICATE OF INCORPORATION The Board of Directors recommends that the applicable provision of t'he. Certificate of Incorporation which, now read's as follows : "FOURTH-The total authorizedl Capitall Stock of' this, Corporation is 5,,099,576' shares of which 99,576 shares are Preferred Stock of the par value of $100 per share of the aggregate par value of $9,957,600' and 5,000,000 shares are Common Stock of the par value of $10 per share of the aggregate par value of $50,000,000. Each share of Commom Stock without nominal or par value previously issued' is hereby changed into a share of Common Stock of the par value of $10. ***"' be amended to read as follows : "FOURTH-The total' authorized Capital Stock of this Corporation is. 10,,099,576'shares of which 99,576 shares are Preferred Stock of the pau value of $100 per, share of the aggregate par value of $9,957,600 andi 10,000,000, shares are Common Stock of the par valiQe of $5 per share of the aggregate par value of' $50;000,000: Eachi share of' Common Stock of'the par value of $10 per share previously issuedl is hereby changed iinto two shares of Common Stock of the par value of $5 per share. ***"' AUDITORS The Board of Directors has appointed Messrs. Haskins & Sells, Certified Public Accountants, to be the independent Auditors of your Company, andi a, representative of that firm will be present at the AnnuallWleeting of Stockholders. CONCLUSION The Annual' Meeting is called for the purposes set forth above and' for the t'rans- action of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. At the date of this Proxy Statement the management knows of no other matters whichh may come before the meeting. However, if' any other matters properly_ come before the meeting, it is the intention of'the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote such proxy ini accordance with, their judgment.

I y To my fellow sharehold ~er•s: Compiling this comprehensive digest of your Company's 1958 operation has been a pleasantt undertaking; to have been an, integral part, in its making represents the most rewarding experience in my business life. It was an exciting year, particularly gratifying in its results: 1958 set sales„earnings and divid'end': records far beyond anything in the recorded historyy of P. Lorillard' Company. Furthermore, in 1958, our Kent cigarette, due to its dramatic increase in sales; became one of the largest selling, filter cigarettes in AmericaL In many communities it is reported as lead'ing, all' cigarettes, filter or non-filter. Your Company i's the pioneer in higlt filtration; having, perfectedl the: original, scientifically sound and proven full filter. All filter techniques today stem from Lorillard's minute research,, a fact, recognized by leading science writers and' repu- tablepubliaations: You may be sure your Com- pany willl do everything possible to maimtaini its leadership in this area andl willl continue to pioneer better ways to make smoking even more enjoyable. D!uring the year we introduced still another innovation in filters conceived and perfected inn our own research department. This is the new Oldl Gold "Spin Filter" and acceptance of it' has been grat'ifying. In~ addition, ai new king-sized soft package wasintroduced's for Newport and released for general distribution. This brand inn both sizes is doing exceptionally well and we expect great things from our "hint of mint" Newport cigarette. Ini the international arena, we are progressively planning to expandlpresent activities.. As of'now, our products are available in limited distribution in countries not hampered by the dollar exchange. In the Philippines, Venezuela and Panama, our princi- pal cigarettes are being manufactured' and distrib- utedlon a license or royalty basis. To extend foreign recognition and' prominence, we expect to approve further applications along these lines during 1959. In new financing, we offeredl common, stock- holders the right to subscribe to additional shares of common stock on the basis of one new share: for each eiight' shares held. Judged'. by the high per- centage subscribed for through the exercise of warrants,, the ofI'ering provedl attractive to share- hold'ers and eminently successful' from, the Com- pany's viewpoint. I am sure youiarefamili~arwithi the details„ the purpose being to provide: addi- tional capital with, which to expedite the growth plans designed by the P'lana Board. Net sales for 1958 amounted': to $4'79;120,409; compared with $293,4115,430 for 11957; while net earnings rose 135% to $27;037,083' or, on the basis of amounts applicable to common shares outstanding at 1958 year-end, $8,02 per share. This compares with 1i957's reported net earnings ofl $11,4'84',412' and $3:78 f'or each share of com- mon stock outstanding at 1957 yearend. Had results for the current year been calculated on the number of shares outstanding in 1957, earnings per common share for 1958' wouldl have: equalled $9.24. Dollar dividends reached thei'r highest levell in our history, with a total of $4 per commoni share being paid ouu Bank loans at year end stood at $49,850,000 and these will, as usual, be sub- stantially reduced' before the next buying, season. Consolidated' balance slteets andl statement of' consolidated earnings and retained' earnings are found on pages 16-18; the financial highlights on page 4; and I comparisons on page 19. During 11958, we moved the Company's hea& quarters into new modern offices located at' 200 East 42nd1 Street in New York City; the 29-story structure is known as the Lorillard Building. The time consumed in handling, the many de- t'ails relatedl to a rapidly growing enterprise kept us from doing as much as we would have liked in the interest of diversifieation. We did, however, take a step in that d'irectioni withoursubsidiiary,. Federal Tin Company. This company, by the way, caught the spirit ofl the parent corporation and produced': sales andi earnings substantially in: excess of' the preceding year. To Federal Tin's 89ti978s4

0 basic tin packing operation, paperboard printing is being,added~, which means a goodly share of our packaging, and wrapping material needs eventually will come from this unit. A modern, six-color rotogravure press is being installed for high speed cutting, creasing and printing of paperboard for carrtons, crush-proof boxes and many other products reqµiring the use ofl paperboard in their finalizing processes.. This operation willl come into being early in the second! qµarter of 1959. A major move toward greater efficiency and continuity in Managemea f'or the: future welfare ofl this Company was manifest ini the executive changes announced late last year which became effective with the new year,. Our Board' of' Directors felt keenly the importance of a wider range of executive direction, plus the strengthen* ing of ai corps of' thoroughly trained key execu~- tiwes capable of meeting all situations. In keeping, with this formula, the chief' executive officer became Chairman of the Board, with the newly- elected President as ai supporting, officiaL Other departments were strengthened by responsibility assignments designed to tie Sales and Marketing together and, because of the importance of Adver- tising, this latter phase of our business is now being handled by a committee headed by the Chairman. Thus, while I personally remain as active as ever as Chairman+-indeed, if anything, my supervisory activities have enlarged-our other top echelon executives now are able to share more deeply in top level activit'ies and planning. The work we do is like a wheel in its operation: Vice Presidents and Department Heads are the spokes which are welded into the hub; or chief' executive's station; all are locked together by thee band of steel determinatiom Within this wheel and radiating out from itt are the skills contributing to the growth factor of' our trade: Procurement experts keep us con- stantly andl amply supplied with everything f'romm paper clips to: costly pieces of modern, technical equipment. Manufacturing, utilizes a good share of these instruments in t'ranslating, formulas into~ better products. Researchers live their lives in the test tubes of'~ progress and' throughi intense: studies we have gained quality controls and advanced prodOcti concepts. The treasurer andl his aides arrange payrolls for several thousand' employees; and financing that permits heavy purchases of raw materials and other necessities: Traffic men keepa a constant flow of the finished products roll in- into distribution centers. Advertising sur- rounds the brands with communication lines dramatically providing ai public awareness and creating, a want. Sales f'ollows through with marketing andl merchandising techniques to place the fruits of our labor on counters and shelves wherever tobacco products are sold. Public Relations keeps the public andi financial circles apprised of' Management's activities, its stran& ards and' progressive: policies, its personnell and prodticts. To these segments of our wheel we apply a form ofl commercial therapy in marketing, giving, life and character to the superior productss borni in the 1'aboratories ofI Lorillard. It would be : gratifying if all' holders of' P. Lorillardl Company stock could attend our annual meeting to be held in New York next Aprill 7th. Knowing, this to be impossible, may I ask those of you who cannot be with us to: exercise your right to vote by proxy. This is important to you andl it is important to the proper conduct of' a meeting, Whether your holdings are smalll or large, whether you favor Management or not, we urge you to express your views through the instrument that is legally yours, the proxy. This report': was written, for you, to keep -youu informed of the activities of a Companywhosey securities you have placed in your investment portfolio. P trust you will' read it carefully. My associates jpin me in expressing sincere appreciation for your understanding support throughout, the past year: And you have our assurance that we shall be unremitting in our efforts for this current year; further, we have molded a pattern that, we firmly hope and', expect, shouldi carry us on to greater volume and an improvedl industry position.

i Sales of'your Company's products during 11958 advanced most~ satisfactorily. To keep pace withi the increased! demand and! to ensure: its continuing, growth„ the Sales D'ivision increased' its personnel and now empl'oys more men in the Field Selling,andl Marketing Organization than ever before. While Kent was unquestionably the Company's "standout" brand for the year, new outlets were opened for alll our brands, intensive merchandising and' sampling campaigns were conducted througHout' the yean and three product additions to our line were successfully launched and distributed: Old Gold Straights, Newport king-size cigarettes„ and a new Old Gold Spin ~ Filter cilgarette. The problems inherent in effecting the transition from, an old product or package to a new one are delicate and, if improperly handlled„ may result in a loss ofl business and a loss of goodl will. It is important that all oU stock on the market be completely disposedl of by the time the new label arrives and stocks of all outlets, wholesale and retail, should be exhausted_at as nearly the same time as possible. Thus confusion is avoided and the Company is not placed in the untenable position ofmarketing;, at oneandl thesa~metime,botha new andl a discontinued product. ln the case of both Old Gold Spin Filter and' Old Gold Straigkits, your Company is pleased to report that the transition from old! to new was accomplished smoothly, efficiently and to the satisf'action of all in the industry who handle our products. In the case of Newport king-size cigarettes; the situation was additionally complicated by the difficulties encountered in securing a worthwhile: distribu- tion on any new size or brand' of cigarette. The chief reason for this is that, the large number of' new brands and sizes marketed in the last few years have made the wholesalers, grocery chains, and independent retailers opposed to ~, stocking anything new in, the cigarette line, since any addition increases their tp inventory and investment considerably. aJ ~ ' Nonetheless,, both! sizes ofl Newport now enjoy a distribution comparable to 00 that of leading, brands which have been on, the market for considerably longer (n ' period§ of time. This distribution, coupled': with proper displays at points of (Z) sale and well planned consumer sampling, has been the prime factor in the steady growth of this brand. We are happy to report that sales of Newport! have shown
Page 20: shf30e00 Log in for more options!
a consistent steady growth all during the year and the rate of this growth sharpllyy accelerated' during the last sixty days of the year, with~ all indications pointing, to~a continuance of this upward trend. When it is remembered' that supermarkets now sell more than half' of' the total cigarette volume, the importance ofl carton displays in these outlets becomes obvions. During the year the number of' cartons of our brands displayed in supermarkets on self-service merchandising fixtures showed substantiall improve- ment. A new plan intended' to strengthen still more the prominent display of our brands in large volume outlets was inaugurated in October and shows every indication of being, highly successful.. Another, important distribution area in which our, Company made considerable progress is vending machines, which now account for the sale ofl an estimated' 15% of all cigarettes. At the end of' 1958 placement of our brands in vending machines had more than doubled the number we had at 1957 year-end. In export, sales increased greatly: our brands were marketed successfully in many new foreign countries and' we regained rights to the Oldl Gold trad'e-mark, which hadlbeen in other hands for many years, for most of'the world. So far as our non-cigarette products are concerned, your Company also fared' quite well. Both our smoking tobaccos andl our Between The Acts Little Cigars showed' increases over last year;, with the latter's sales running in excess of' 1I2% ahead of 195'7. And, while our chewing tobaccos suffered minor decreases over last' year, we still came out well ahead of ind'ustry, averages for these products. 0 I 7

0 Progressing f'rom, plans started in, late 11957, the Company's advertising gathered momentum, in keeping with the increased sales picture, in order to carry our sales messages to more people and more markets than ever before in the history of the Company. All major media were used, with a large percentage of our effort devoted to television, which has proved to be a superior selling vehicle for our products. At this time we are full or partial sponsor ofl six different nighttime television properties on the three majpr networks. These run the fulll gamuti of the entertainment spectrum and include such diverse appeals as an interview show;, panel program, news, variety, "private eye"' andl quasi-western. Thus, regard- less of the consumer's tastes in television, one ofl our television shows is bound to have appeal for him. Other national media which we use to~ support our brands include Sunday supplements, network radio, and the top consumer magazines. fn addition, considerable advertising, pressure is placed on the consumer through such local media as newspapers, spot television and' radio, and outdoor spectaculars ini selected key markets where sales indexes indicate high potentiall opportunity for our: products. During this year the Advertising Department was strengthened to take advan- tage ofl the 1'atest scientific methods in both market research and' media, analysis. And, late in the year, an Advertising Committee, consisting of! the Chairmann of the Board, the President, the Sales Vice President and the Advertising P4fanager„ was set up. Working, closely with the Department andl the Committee on both plans and implementation is the advertising agency which handles your Company's brands. Through this close three-pronged cooperation, more effective advertising is 8902"9787Q

obtained a the least possibl'e' cost. As a matter of fact„ through careful' forward planning and increasedl buying, efficiencies, the Company materially improved its advertising iinvestments in 1958, with the cost of reaching consumers reduced, to levels below industry average. Campaigni themes, which remained' consistent for all brands throughout the year, were: KENT . . . Of alll leading fiiter cigarettes, Kent Filters Best . . . You get' less tars and nicotine. OLD GOLD, STRAIGHTS (without a filter) . . . An all4obaccoo cigarette, dramatically redhced in tar and nicotine.. OLD GOLD NEW SPIN FILTERS . . . The besti taste vet ini a filter cigarette. NEWPORT ... Light, menthol with a hint of mint ... Refreshes while you smoke. In order to get maximum milleage and effect from each campaign;, speciall effort was made to use sales promotion material for point-of-purchase displays that was coordinatedi in time and' content with our various advertising campaigns.. This year saw the beginning of a corporate campaign which was built around the Company's leadership' in researchc "You can depend on Lorillard to be'e first with the finest cigarettes ... through Lorillard research." To further buildd this corporate image and impress it on the public mind; all of' our regular product advertising also carried the phrase, "A Product' of P. Lorillard' Com~- pany-First with the finest cigarettes-through Lorillard' Research."

% 5im In our laboratories, where theory becomes reali;ty, studies of' great depth and importance move : with precision under highly trained supervision. The public recognizes that the name Lorillard is synonymous with cigarette filters of high filtering efticiency.. This has not come easily, and it is our aim to stay out in front. A continuous program is in effect to constantly improve today's filters and to develop new and better ones for tomorrow.. In additiony basic research studies are being, conducted with respect to new and startlingly different methods of handling,, processing and treating tobacco. And': cigarette smoke is being studied more carefully and' more thoroughly than ever before, since it is here that' we believe tomorrow's improvements will be: found. Thus, on all fronts, your Company continues its accelerated research inquiries into all aspects of tobacco. Since : many of'the precise specifications for production of' our various cigarette brands start right with the original leaf,, our Research Il7epartmentt and 1eaf' buying organization work hand inn hand' at all times: This is true, as well, for most of our other departments, particularly Manufacturimg, which is charged with~ the responsibility for mass producing the products so painstak- iingly fashioned': in our laboratories: At Louisville plant~ new control laboratories, designed to Researcll, an Green.sboroincludes weight check offi'lter ~ suppl'ementth'e, xaorkof Company's mainresearcli center "toae" on super-sensitive scales toensurethat itmeets.

To maintain the dominant position in the cigarette industtyy which Lorillardl has achieved throughi production of' superior products, greater and greater emphasis has been placed on quality control. This means simply that every cigarette we manufacture must'~ meet very definite and increasingly precisee speciifications. This holds true for all our brands, filter and non+- filter alike. Quality standards must be met not once a: week, nor once ai day, but every hour that our factories run. . L To facilitate this program, 1958 ' saw the establishment of a Branch Control Laboratory at our Louisville factory., In keep- ing with, Lorillard practice, thislaboratory is, mod'enn, well equipped, and manned by thoroughly trainedI andlcompetent per- sonnel. While Greensboro remains the center of our research activities, the new Louisville installation, dedicated to the main- tenance of quality, already is contributing,much to the uniformity and precise caliber of our products: •r ts, In our industry, mechanical and engineering improvements and developments are interwovenc The scientist and engineer form a team, and one cannot reach the desired goals without the other. Thus; in 1958 aniEngineering;Research and Develop- ment department was formally established' as an integral part ofl the over-all Research Division. Pilot equipment and adequate shop facilities have beeni provided for this new department. And valuable contributions should be forthcoming in, the months andl years ahead from its highly trained specialists. Special Lorillard-designed laboratory equipment'is used to check rnenthol and mint, determine exactquality and quantity forttsein `7iint ofmintP' 1V'esvportcigarett'es.

Commencing, with January and continuing throughout the year, Lorillard"s production facilities operated in high gear. New equipment, both domestic andd foreign, rolled into bothi our Greensboro and Il.ouisvill'e factories. As fast as this equipment was installed' and set up to produce millions of cigarettes daily, the sal'es surge would necessitate still another upward revision of' our require- ments, and addiitipnal equipment had to be:ordered. From month to month, production quotas increased and at year end final delivery of equipment on order from abroad wasstill ilncomplete.. Production lines in Greensboro operated around the clock-six days a week- throughout 1958. Louisville production was stepped up also and it' operated two shiEtson a maximum basi's~ during most of'the year. While it is, natural to think ofl production in terms ofl machines, the mem and women behind them should not be forgotten; without their efforts!we could not have successfully met the challenge that faced us this year. When it was decided during the year to introduce a king-size, soft-pack version of our "hint of mint" Newport cigarette, a major production problem was faced and' resolved: development of a soft! pack so tightly sealed and air tight that the cigarette's quality is preserved and the mildl menthol' andl mint flavor lockedl in. This package met, with immediate acceptance and is now helping to further establish, our position in; this growing, segment of' our industry.

iI During the year 11958 our requirements of! leaf tobacco were purchasedl at prices higher than 1957. This increase was due, in part,, to higher support prices established by the Ul S. IDepartment of Agriculture: As a result of the continued increase in sales of our products, our activities in~ the tobacco markets reached! an unprecedentedl peak in, 195&'. In order to maintain, the well balanced leaf' inventory necessary for production ofILorillard''shigh, quai'ityciga- rettes, it became necessary for us to, supple« ment existing inventories through purchase of substantial quantities of' properly aged, high qUality tobaccos suitable : for immediate use in our manufacturing operations. Naturally, with leaf purchases exceeding any previous period in the Company's his- tory; the tempo of our processing, facilities had to be accelerated and our stemmeries were operated on an around-the-clock schedule. Further, additional storage facil'i- ties to accommodate. the: larger leaf invent tories became necessary. We; therefore, purchased five storage warehouses and built two others, all strategically located in Lexing- ton, Kentucky. As in, the past, our leaf purchases were coordinated with scientific studies conducted in our Research Division. This program involves the testing of leaf tobacco samples from various growing sections, which helps our leafbuying organizationini the selection of tobaccos ofthehighest quality for our products.

Company and its wholly-ow;aed subsidiary company. At December 31,, 1958 the net assets of the subsidiary exceeded the invest- ment of' the Company in such subsidiary by $666, 097,, which amount represents wndistributed earnings since date of acquisition and has been iinclu$ed in sarrings,.retained for use in the:business'. (2 ): The entire inventory of leaf tobacco~ has been classified as a current asset in accordance with.a generally recognized tradelpractice although, due to the.duration of'agSng processes, the tobacco on hand include&requirements beyond thelperiod of one year. It is not practicable too determine thwamount not realizable within one year.. Inventories at th&beg{nni;nw, and end of the year, priced at averege' eost'„ were: December31„ 1957, $161,449,,360;, December 31, 1958,, $197', 0'69, 209 .

The Federal income tax liabilities of the compesil.es have been settlediup to and including 1955. While the liabilities for subsequent years are subjeet to final determination, the amount provided in the consoliidated' balance sheet is believed to be adequate to cover any additional assessments whichimay be made by the Treasury Department. (6) The aggregate amounts of' me.turiti'es and sinking fund requirements of long-term debt during each of'the next five years, less debentures held by the Compan for sinking fund purposes, are as follows: 1959, 123266,664; ; 1960 to 1962, inclusive, $3,291,664 in eachiyear;, 1963, $12,275',014. (7). (8) (9) Covenants limiting the payment of dividends on common stock and the purchase, redemption, or retirement of'such stock are contained i'nithe debenture indentures and in the note agreement. Under the most restrictive of these couensats the amount whichicould have been expended for the fore- going,purposes at December 31, 1958 was limited'to approx- imately $52,000,000. At December 31, 1958 outstanding commtitments for the purchase of property, plant, and equipnent amounted to approximately $11,200, 000 . The Company and two other tobaccolcompanffes are defendants in a civil action brought by Lawler D. Sharp in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of. Louisiana. The plaintiff's complaint, which1was filed' on March 28, 1958, alleges that the pliaintiff;, alresident of the State of Mississippi, developed cancer of'the larynx by reason of his use of cigarettes manufactured and sold by the defendants. The complaint demands judg- ment against the defendants, jointly and severally, in the amount of $155,000 in actual dsmeges and $1,000,000 in punitive damages under the laws of NLississippi, together with interest and costs. Thelanswer of the Company denies any liability on its part to the plaintiff. Pre-triaii examinations in such action have not been completed. Federal revenue stamps affixed to products solidiin 1958 amountedl to $~08,551,967'. ___.,...-...~, (10'), Under the non-contributory Ehiployees Retirement Plan of the compani'es, retirement allowances (normally at age 65) are being provided for salaried employees who have completed GD three years of service with the companies. The assets rp of the Plan are held'by City Bank Farmers Trust Compsny, ,j as Trustee. The present annual coat of the Plan to the m companies is approximately $270,000, i'ncluding $15,000 ~ for past service. An i'ndependent actuary has estimated ~ that the unfunded past service cost of the Plan at_ Decem_" „ ber 311, 195B approximated $90,000. The Boardiof Directors has followed a practice of authorizing annually the making of supplementary payments to retired employees whose allowances under the above Plan fall below (Continued) - 2.
Page 42: shf30e00 Log in for more options!
certainminim,mm amounts. At present such supplementary payments aggregate approximately $15,000 per annum. As of November 1, 1952 the Company adoptedia non-contributory RetiYrement:Allowance Plan (amended in 11955 and 1958) pro- viding retirement allowances for full time hourly rated and fits and other public pensions. With certain limitations, or piece work emplioyees. To be eligible for a retirement allowance an employee must be in the service of the Com- pany to his sixty-fifth birthday (certain female employeess to sixty-second birthday) and must have completed at the time of retirement not less than twenty years of credited service as defined inithe Plan. Retirement allbwances vary withithe length of credited service or by reason of other factors, the maximum allowance being $135 per month after thirty years of'service. Inialli cases the allow- ances are to be reduced by primary social security bene- the Board of Directors of the Company has the right to modify or terminate the Plan at any time, provided that no retirement allowance being paid at the time of any modification or termination shall be discontinuedior reduced. The retirement allowances presently being paid under this Plan approximate $!+6,Q00'per annum. As of October 1, 1954 the Company's subsidiary adopted a non-contributory Retirement Plan for non-salaried~ employees. The retirement allowances presently being paid under this Plan approximate $2,800 per annum. With respect to the P3ans referred to~in the two preceding paragraphs, it is the poliey of the companies to main- tain reserves equal to the estimated present worth, actuarially calculated, of the future retirement allow- ances payable to the employ.ees who have attained retire- ment age. A't December 31, 1958 such reserves aggregated $578,231. Provision is not made in respect of thei employees who have not attained retirement age; an, independent actuary has estimatedithat the amount that would be necessary to provide for the past service cost in respect of such empLoyees as of September 30, 1958 approximatedi$2,070,000. (,11) Incentive compensation for officers and key personnel pay- able under Article XII of the By-Laws, based on consoli- dated net income after making adjustments specified in such Article XII, amountedito $3„08t+,681 for 1958. amount is included inicurrent Iiabilities.. This (12) Ten-year options to purchase an aggregate of'64,500 shares of authorized but unissuediconffion stock, being,part of a total of 100,000 shares reserved for the purposes of a Restricted Stock Option Plan, were granted in October 1957 to twenty-eight officers andikey personnel at $24.00 per share or a total of'$1,548,000,, subject to approvali of stockholders. These options became exercisable upon approval of the Plan by the stockholders on April 8, 1958 andiat that date the fair value (approximate market value) of the 64,500 shares under option was $51.50 per share or a total of $3,321,750.
