Verbrugge and its creditors have agreed upon a voluntary reorganization plan. In this plan, each share of the $6 preferred will be exchanged for one share of $2.50 preferred with a par value of $35.00 plus one 9% subordinated income debenture with a par value of $77.5. The $10.50 preferred issue will be retired with cash.
