REORGANIZATION.

Form 3538.

Reasons for Reorganization-From Letter of President of Pullman Company to Stockholders.

1. It is advisable that the public, the stockholders of your company, and federal and state regulatory bodies shall distinguish clearly the earnings derived by the company from its carrier business. To that end it is the judgment of your board that the property of the company devoted to its carrier business and the property in which the company is interested through stock ownership or otherwise and not devoted to its carrier business, should be placed under the control of separate corporate entities; that the shares of stock of such corporate entities and such other assets, if any, as may seem desirable should be acquired by a new corporation in the form of a holding company, in which, in lieu of the present shares of stock of The Pullman Company, the present shareholders of The Pullman Company should be stockholders.

Broadening scope of corporate activities.

2. The reorganization is desirable because under a new corporate structure the assets of The Pullman Company which are not essential to its carrier activities can be utilized for the benefit of the stockholders of The Pullman Company more advantageously in broadening the scope of its corporate activities than can be done under the present corporate structure.

Larger participation in ownership.

3. The reorganization is desirable because it will increase the total number of outstanding shares and thereby attract a larger number of investors of moderate means, who are deterred from investing in the company's shares by the present high unit price thereof. It is believed that a larger participation in the ownership of the company, both by employees and the public at large, is desirable and will result from the proposed change.

Your directors have therefore approved, and now submit and recommend to the stockholders, the following plan of reorganization:

Reasons for Reorganization-Moving Picture Companies.

It became clear that the varying holdings of stock in these different theatres involved a diversity of interests which might lead to friction at some future date, and which might hinder the development of additional theatres or theatrical interests. For example, it was felt that if a new large theatre were erected in the district dominated by the Riviera Theatre, the immediate effect thereof would be to cut down the earnings of the Riviera Theatre, or cause a change of policy to be instituted there. Obviously, unless the interests of the stockholders of the Riviera Theatre and the stockholders of the corporation that operated the new theatre in the same area were identical, a diversity of interests would at once develop. In addition thereto, there was present at all times the difficult problem of determining a basis of allocation of the cost of special films, special stage settings and scenery, advertising and publicity work, executive and overhead and organization expenses, among the various theatres.

Solution of problem.

After devoting a great deal of time and thought to the situation, the parties in interest decided that the best solution of the general problem would be the organization of a new corporation, which corporation would acquire all, or substantially all, of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the various theatre corporations (and would also acquire the various film interests above referred to), or would acquire all of the assets of the various corporations, including the film interests above described. It was further determined that the film interests should be acquired by a corporation to be created for that purpose and that arrangements be entered into with bankers to sell a sufficient number of shares of the common stock of the new corporation to retire the mortgage indebtedness outstanding against the Tivoli Theatre, the Central Park Theatre and The Chicago Theatre properties, to the end that the property and assets of the new corporation would be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
