As you know, banks establish these nominee accounts as convenient vehicles for keeping custody of securities which are beneficially owned by individuals, trusts, mutual funds, or other institutions, and the identity of the beneficial owners is not disclosed to us. Also, the banks holding the shares in nominee name frequently hold some as custodian only without any power to vote the shares and in other cases are not empowered to vote the stock without instructions from the beneficial owners. The banks are, therefore, effectively only a conduit. Sincerely, RUSSELL W. MCFALL, Chairman and President. 30 LARGEST HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES AS OF MAY 1, 1972 Holder Cede & Co.---Barnett & Co...
