Verbrugge and its creditors have agreed upon a voluntary reorganization plan. In this plan, each share of the noncallable preferred will be exchanged for 1 share of $2.30 preferred with a par value of $38 plus one 8% subordinated income debenture with a par value of $72. The callable preferred issue will be retired with cash generated by reducing current assets.
