ITEM 1. Business
HOME BENEFICIAL CORPORATION
Home Beneficial Corporation ("the Corporation") was incorporated in
Virginia on March 5, 1970, for the purpose of becoming a holding company
for Home Beneficial Life Insurance Company ("the Life Company"), which
originated in 1899. On December 31, 1970, pursuant to a Plan of
Reorganization proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the
stockholders of the Life Company, the Corporation acquired all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Life Company by merger of the
Life Company into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, the name
of which was immediately changed to Home Beneficial Life Insurance
Company. At the present time, the Life Company, which is engaged in the
life and accident and health insurance business, is the major subsidiary
of the Corporation.
There was no material change in the nature of business done by the
Corporation during 1995.
BUSINESS OF THE LIFE COMPANY
The Life Company sells group life insurance and substantially all of
the forms of ordinary insurance, including universal life, whole life,
term, and annuities, together with accidental death and disability
riders. The Life Company's business is concentrated in six Mid-Atlantic
states and the District of Columbia, and its products are marketed
through its own sales force of approximately 1,150 full-time personnel
assigned to some 47 district offices located in principal cities and
towns. In addition to the agency force, there were some 235 supervisory,
administrative, clerical and other personnel employed in the home office.
The following table sets forth the geographic distribution of direct
business premiums received during 1995:
Premiums
Jurisdiction (In 000's)
Delaware $ 2,596
District of Columbia 2,802
Maryland 15,210
North Carolina 10,058
Tennessee 22,084
Virginia 40,012
West Virginia 1,194
The maximum amount of ordinary individual insurance presently retained by
the Life Company without reinsurance is $200,000 plus an additional
$75,000 coverage for accidental death. The total amount of life
insurance in force at December 31, 1995 reinsured by the Life Company
with other companies aggregated $85 million representing less than 1% of
the Life Company's life insurance in force on that date. A contingent
liability exists on insurance ceded to the reinsurer since the Life
Company would be liable in the event that the reinsurer is unable to meet
obligations assumed by it under the reinsurance agreement. The Life
Company participates in several group life insurance programs as a
reinsurer and also assumes reinsurance on a facultative (individual risk)
basis from two other life insurance companies. Life insurance assumed
relates principally to group life and represented approximately 17% of
premium income and 56% of life insurance in force for 1995. Claims
incurred under these group life insurance programs approximate the
related premium income, and no significant assets or liabilities are
required in the balance sheet.
Accident and health insurance premiums accounted for less than 8% of
premium income for 1995. A significant proportion of the accident and
health premium is attributable to medical benefit coverage provided for
the Life Company's employees and their dependents under its Protection
and Retirement Plan. The Life Company offers no health insurance
coverage other than to its own employees. The Life Company writes
individual accident policies with death and dismemberment benefits.
These policies accounted for approximately 30% of total accident and
health premiums for 1995.
The Life Company, as a legal reserve company, is required by the various
laws of the states in which it is licensed to transact business to carry
as liabilities aggregate policy reserves which are considered adequate to
meet its obligations on insurance policies in force. Such required
reserves are considered statutory reserves because the methods and
assumptions used in their calculation are explicitly prescribed by the
laws of the various states. The liabilities shown herein for all
policies issued since 1948 are based on guidelines prescribed by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and have been
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Such liabilities are calculated by the use of assumptions as to mortality
rates, interest rates, withdrawal rates and expense rates in effect at
the time the gross premiums were calculated. Liabilities on paid-up
policies include a liability for future maintenance expenses which the
Life Company expects to incur. See Revenues, Benefits, Claims and
Expenses, Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which
is incorporated herein by reference from pages 11 and 12 of the 1995
Annual Report to Stockholders, for additional information relating to the
Life Company's reserves.
The investment of the Life Company's funds and assets is determined by an
Investment Committee. Generally, investments made must meet requirements
established by the applicable investment statutes of the Commonwealth of
Virginia governing the nature and quality of investments which may be
made by life insurance companies.
The following table shows investments of the Life Company at December 31,
1995. Fixed maturities (bonds, notes and redeemable preferred stocks)
and equity securities (nonredeemable preferred and common stocks) are
stated at fair value; mortgage loans on real estate are stated at cost
adjusted where appropriate for amortization of premium or discount;
short-term investments are at cost; and policy loans are stated at unpaid
balances.

Policy loans 54,480 4.3
Short-term investments 39,620 3.1
Other 5,610 .5
$1,264,702 100.0%
There were no principal and interest payments past due on fixed
maturities at December 31, 1995.
The Life Company's mortgage portfolio consists of approximately 2,400
conventional first mortgages on a wide range of residential and
commercial properties located primarily in those Mid-Atlantic states in
which the Life Company conducts its insurance business. At December 31,
1995 the aggregate carrying value of mortgage loans was $339,773,729,
broken down by category as follows:
Residential $167,751,726
Commercial 172,022,003
Commercial loans include loans on apartments, shopping centers, office
buildings and warehouses. Generally, commercial loans range from
$250,000 to $4,500,000 in principal amount. The Life Company also makes
some mortgage loans to churches. Every property is inspected by a staff
underwriter prior to the issuance of a loan commitment. On commercial
loans of more than $250,000, the property is inspected every two years
after the loan is closed as long as the balance exceeds $250,000.
The Life Company's mortgage lending business is heavily concentrated in
the states of Virginia and North Carolina. At December 31, 1995,
approximately 77% of the Life Company's mortgages, constituting approxi-
mately 75% of the total book value of the Life Company's mortgage port-
folio, were on residential or commercial properties located in the State
of Virginia. Additionally, at the same date approximately 14% of the
Life Company's mortgages, constituting approximately 12% of the total
book value of the Life Company's mortgage portfolio, were on properties
in North Carolina. The relatively high percentage of mortgage loans made
in these two states reflects the geographical concentration of the Life
Company's insurance business activities in the same two states. Although
the Life Company's mortgage loan portfolio is heavily concentrated in
Virginia and North Carolina, the economies of those states are
diversified, and the Life Company does not believe its mortgage loan
portfolio reflects undue risk from the large percentage of its loans
originated in those two states.
Although the economic downturn during 1990 and 1991 was characterized
by troubled real estate loans in the portfolios of many financial
institutions operating in the Life Company's market, the Life Company's
mortgage loan portfolio has not reflected the widely-publicized
experience of other financial institutions. The Life Company presently
holds one real estate parcel acquired through foreclosure with a carrying
value in the financial statements of $670,000. Mortgage loans whose
terms have been restructured over the past five years are immaterial, and
no mortgage loans were in foreclosure proceedings at December 31, 1995.
Except as indicated below, there were no mortgage loans otherwise not
performing in accordance with the contractual terms.
At December 31, 1995, the aging schedule for delinquent mortgage loans in
terms of past due days was as follows:
Past due days
30-60 60-90 Over 90 Total
Principal $1,800,8011 $373,751 $67,955 $2,242,507
Percent of total
mortgage loans .53% .11% .02% .66%
130-60 days past due includes a substantial amount of loan payments that
have been received by the Life Company's brokers after their December,
1995 cut-off reporting date to the Life Company. These amounts will be
included in their next remittance report.
The Life Company believes the quality of its loan portfolio is
attributable to its relatively stringent underwriting standards which
have been in force for many years. At the present time, and for a number
of years, the Life Company's lending policies have restricted mortgage
loans to a maximum loan to value ratio of 75%, based on the lower of cost
or appraisal, except for purchase money mortgages and insured or
guaranteed mortgages. The Life Company's policy is to place mortgage
loans on non-accrual status where any mortgage payment is 90 days or more
past due.
During the period 1986-1995, the Life Company experienced only six
foreclosures on real estate loans, one in each of the years 1986, 1989,
1990 and 1995, two in 1992, none in 1993 and 1994. The total of the
unpaid principal balances of loans in these six foreclosures was approxi-
mately $1.7 million. The Life Company disposed of five properties
acquired in pre-1994 foreclosure proceedings without a net loss. The
Corporation does not provide a provision for loan losses in its financial
statements. Based upon the de minimis loss experience of the mortgage
loan portfolio over many years and the continuing satisfactory
performance of its portfolio, the Corporation's management does not feel
that a provision is required.
See Investment Operations, Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference from pages 12, 13,
14 and 15 of the 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders, and Schedule I
included in Part IV elsewhere herein, for additional information
concerning the Corporation's consolidated investment portfolio.
The Life Company, in common with other insurance companies, is subject to
regulation and supervision in each of the states in which it does
business. Such regulation is primarily for the benefit of the policy-
holders of the Life Company rather than the stockholders. Although the
extent of such regulation varies from state to state, in general, the
insurance laws of the respective states delegate broad administrative
powers to supervisory agencies. These powers relate to the granting and
revocation of licenses to transact business, the licensing of agents, the
approval of the forms of policies used, reserve requirements, and the
type and concentration of investments permitted. In addition, the
supervisory agencies have power over the form and content of required
financial statements and reports, including requirements regarding
accounting practices to be employed in the presentation of such
statements and reports. Certain of the required accounting practices
vary from generally accepted accounting principles. See Notes 1 and 7 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which Notes are
incorporated herein by reference from pages 11, 12 and 18 of the 1995
Annual Report to Stockholders.
Several jurisdictions in which the Life Company does business including
its domiciliary state of Virginia, have enacted legislation providing for
specific regulation of the relationship between licensed insurers and
their holding companies and among affiliated members of a holding company
group. These statutes vary in substance from state to state, but
generally speaking, vest administrative control in the insurance
regulatory authority. Among the provisions found in these statutes are
provisions for the filing of registration statements by insurers which
are members of a holding company group, provisions that the holding
company will be subject to reporting requirements and to visitation by
the insurance regulatory authorities, standards as to transactions
between insurers and their holding companies or between members of a
holding company group, and control over the payment of extraordinary
dividends. See Stockholders' Equity and Restrictions, Note 7 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein
by reference from page 18 of the 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders for
additional information concerning transactions between the Life Company
and its affiliates.
The life insurance business is intensely competitive and the Life
Company competes with many other companies in the states in which it is
licensed. The American Council of Life Insurance in its "1995 Fact
Book", estimates that there were 1,770 life insurance companies doing
business in the United States at the beginning of 1995.
According to figures reported in the October 1995 issue of Best's Review,
Life/Health Edition, calculated on a statutory accounting basis, the Life
Company ranks in the top 12% of all life insurance companies in the
United States based on total admitted assets as of December 31, 1994.
No material portion of the business of the Life Company is dependent
upon a single customer or a very few customers. The group life insurance
sold by the Life Company consists largely of reinsurance participations
described on page 4.
The Corporation's only industry segment is the business of the Life
Company, and its operations have contributed over 98% of the total
consolidated revenues and income before income taxes for each of the past
three years.
Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries engage in material
operations outside of the United States, or derives material business
from customers outside the United States.
ITEM 2. Properties
The principal office of the Corporation is located at 3901 West Broad
Street, Richmond, Virginia 23230, which also serves as the home office
premises of the Life Company. The home office building, which contains
approximately 110,000 square feet of office space, was originally
completed in 1950 with a 30,000 square foot addition completed in 1990.
The building is used solely for company purposes.
The Life Company presently leases space for 61 district and detached
offices in Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, West Virginia,
Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. The termination dates on these
leases range from 1996 to 2005; all of the longer term leases being for
district office purposes. The maximum annual rent paid under any lease
is $28,776. The annualized rent under all leases in effect on December
31, 1995 was approximately $750,000.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
As of the date of this report, neither the Corporation nor any of its
subsidiaries was a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Corporation's security holders
during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

(1) Offices shown are of both the Corporation and the Life Company.
(2) The amounts shown include employee contributions to the Thrift Plan.
(3) All of the amounts shown reflect matching contributions by the
Corporation and the Life Company to the Thrift Plan. The Thrift Plan is
a defined contribution plan available to substantially all salaried
employees. Participants may make thrift contributions to the plan in any
whole percentage of 2-14% of their compensation, and the Corporation and
the Life Company will make a matching contribution to the plan in an
amount equal to three-fourths of the first 4% of each eligible employee's
compensation so contributed for the year. All matching amounts shown for
each executive officer are fully vested. Benefits under the Thrift Plan
are payable at death, retirement or other termination of employment (or
at January of the calendar year of age 70 1/2, if earlier).

service as an employee and salaried officer of the Corporation and
the Life Company
(c) Not applicable
(d) Not applicable
(e) Not applicable
(f) Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefits Plans
The Corporation's Retirement Plan, a defined benefit pension plan,
covers substantially all employees of the Corporation and the Life
Company with two months of service. The Plan provides a retirement
annuity, payable by the Life Company as the insurer under the Plan, to
each employee who is credited with five years of service, who attains his
normal retirement age (which is age 65 or, if the employee becomes a
participant at or after age 60, his fifth anniversary of becoming a
participant) while employed by the Corporation or the Life Company, or
who is totally and permanently disabled while an employee. The
retirement annuity is earned in the form of a single life annuity for the
life of the employee, commencing at the employee's normal retirement age,
and is equal to the sum of retirement annuity credits earned by the
employee for each calendar year he is credited with a year of service.
Retirement annuity benefits under the plan can be paid as early as age 55
if the employee retires with at least ten years of service (or at
disability retirement, if earlier) and must be paid starting in January
of the calendar year the employee reaches age 70 1/2, even though he has
not then retired. The annuity is payable monthly and is subject to
actuarial reduction in the event the employee commences to receive his
retirement annuity prior to his normal retirement age (other than as a
result of disability retirement) or receives his retirement annuity in a
joint and survivor rather than a single life annuity form of payment. A
survivor annuity benefit is provided to the employee's spouse in certain
cases if the employee dies before his retirement annuity payments begin.
The annual annuity credit for years after 1988 is equal to 2% of the
first $10,000 of the employee's compensation for the year, plus 2.5% of
the employee's compensation for the year in excess of $10,000. Once an
employee is credited with 35 years of service, whether before or after
1989, the annual annuity credit after 1988 becomes 2.5% of the employee's
compensation for the year. Prior to 1989, several different benefit
formulas were applied, and employees who were participants before 1989
will retain their annuity credits as determined through December 31, 1988
based on those earlier formulas. Covered compensation for purposes of
the Plan is aggregate cash compensation up to $150,000 per year for years
after 1993 ($200,000 for the year 1993), as adjusted from time to time
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which in the case of
each executive officer is identical to the amount shown as salary in the
Summary Compensation Table appearing in Item 11(a) and (b).
The estimated annual benefits payable under the Plan for each of the
individuals listed in the Summary Compensation Table, other than J. M.
Wiltshire, Jr. are as follows: R. W. Wiltshire, Jr. - $94,110, W. B.
Wiltshire - $89,542, G. T. Richardson - $98,658, and H. D. Garnett -
$73,672. The benefits as shown are estimated on the basis that the per-
sons named will continue to receive, until the end of the calendar year
in which they reach age 65, salaries at the same rates in effect during
1995 and will then retire and elect a single life rather than a joint and
survivor annuity form of payment. J. M. Wiltshire, Jr. retired as an
employee and salaried officer of the Corporation and the Life Company
effective December 31, 1995 and receives an annual benefit of $33,936
under the Plan based upon his election of a joint and survivor annuity.
Amounts payable under the Plan are not subject to deduction for social
security benefits under the Federal Social Security Act.
In addition to the Corporation's defined benefit pension plan, the
Corporation has a postretirement medical benefits plan consisting of
defined benefit medical coverage for pre-1993 retirees and defined
contribution medical coverage for post-1992 retirees who were active
employees on December 31, 1992. The pre-1993 retiree program covers all
employees who had retired under the Corporation's pension plan as of
December 31, 1992. The post-1992 retiree program covers all full time
active employees as of December 31, 1992 who retire under the
Corporation's pension plan thereafter. Employees who joined the
Corporation after December 31, 1992 are not eligible for participation in
either program under the postretirement medical benefits plan.
The pre-1993 retiree program reimburses its participants for actual
covered costs subject to specified deductibles and coinsurance. The pre-
1993 retiree program is contributory and participant contribution
requirements may be increased from time to time and benefits may be
modified or terminated by the Corporation. The post-1992 retiree program
is noncontributory and reimburses its participants for the cost of health
insurance and other health care coverage premiums up to a maximum benefit
amount (stated in terms of health care spending credits) determined in
accordance with the plan based on years of service as of December 31,
1992. The unused maximum benefit amount, initially determined as of
December 31, 1992, is increased thereafter only for interest from January
1, 1993 until it is fully expended.
All current salaried executive officers of the Corporation, upon their
retirement, will be covered under the post-1992 retiree program. The
spending account credit balances determined as of December 31, 1995
(without interest to be credited thereafter) for each of them are as
follows: R. W. Wiltshire, Jr. - $29,823, W. B. Wiltshire - $30,551, G.
T. Richardson - $27,641, and H. D. Garnett - $27,641. J. M. Wiltshire,
Jr. retired as of December 31, 1995 with a spending account credit
balance of $32,733.
The Corporation is self insured with respect to benefits under the
postretirement medical benefits plan.
(g) Compensation of Directors
All directors of the Corporation (other than Messrs. L. W. Richardson, R.
W. Wiltshire, J. M. Wiltshire, Jr., and Hancock and Mrs. Collins) are
salaried executive officers. Messrs. L. W. Richardson, R. W. Wiltshire
and J. M. Wiltshire, Jr. have retired as salaried executive officers of
the Corporation and the Life Company on December 31, 1987, September 6,
1993, and December 31, 1995, respectively. In consideration of their
past services to the Corporation and the Life Company, the Corporation
agreed to pay L. W. Richardson (more than 42 years of continuous service)
$30,000 per year, R. W. Wiltshire (more than 47 years of continuous
service) $90,000 per year and J. M. Wiltshire, Jr. (more than 27 years of
continuous service) $25,000 per year, in addition to their respective
annual benefits of $34,109, $55,002 and $33,936 under the Corporation's
pension plan. The Corporation's agreements with each of them provide
that they will not compete with the Corporation or its subsidiaries,
directly or indirectly, on a full time or a part time or on a consulting
or advisory basis. L. W. Richardson also is a participant in the pre-
1993 retiree program under the Corporation's postretirement medical
benefits plan. R. W. Wiltshire is a participant in the post-1992 retiree
program under the plan and has a spending account credit balance as of
December 31, 1995, after payment of premiums subsequent to his
retirement, of $40,264. (See "Pension and Postretirement Medical
Benefits Plan" in Item 11(f)). Mr. Hancock is a partner in the law firm
of Mays & Valentine. The amount of legal fees paid to that firm by the
Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates in 1995, including
amounts for legal services provided by Mr. Hancock, did not exceed 5% of
the firm's gross revenues for its last fiscal year. C. M. Glenn, Jr. a
director of the Corporation and the Life Company until his death on April
9, 1995, served as a Consultant to the Corporation and its subsidiaries
after his retirement for which he received $10,000 during 1995 in
addition to his normal retirement benefits under the Corporation's
pension and postretirement medical benefits plan. Under the terms of the
contract, Mr. Glenn agreed to perform such services of a consulting and
advisory nature as were requested of him from time to time by the
Chairman of the Board of the Corporation. No director of the Corporation
receives any additional compensation in the form of directors' fees or
otherwise for attendance at meetings of the Board or committees thereof,
or other services performed solely in his or her capacity as a director.

ITEM 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
(a) and (b) As of March 8, 1996, 5,267,275 shares of Class A Common Stock
of the Corporation, constituting 63.3% of the 8,317,827 shares then
outstanding, were held by trustees under a voting trust agreement dated
as of May 1, 1984, which, by virtue of a voting trust extension agreement
dated as of May 1, 1987, continues in force until May 11, 1997 (1984
Voting Trust). The Voting Trustees, each of whom is a director of the
Corporation and the Life Company are R. W. Wiltshire, L. W. Richardson,
R. W. Wiltshire, Jr., G. T. Richardson, and Dianne N. Collins (together,
the Trustees). Their mailing address is 3901 West Broad Street,
Richmond, Virginia 23230. The Trustees are given exclusive voting power
of the Class A Common Stock subject to the 1984 Voting Trust, but must
vote or execute consents in accordance with the instructions of the
holders of voting trust certificates with respect to any action submitted
to a vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock as to which a majority
of the Trustees then in office favor an affirmative vote, where such
action, if approved by the holders of Class A Common Stock in accordance
with and to the extent required by law and the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation, would result in: (a) the increase or decrease of the
authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock; (b) an exchange,
reclassification, or cancellation of all or part of the shares of Class
A Common Stock; (c) an exchange, or right of exchange, of all or any part
of the shares of another class into the shares of Class A Common Stock;
(d) any change that may be adverse to the designations, preferences,
limitations, voting rights or relative to other rights of any nature of
the shares of Class A Common Stock; (e) any change of the shares of Class
A Common Stock into a different number of shares of the same class or
into the same or a different number of shares, either with or without par
value, of other classes of stock; (f) the creation of a new class of
stock, or change of a class with subordinate and inferior rights into a
class having rights and preferences prior and superior to shares of Class
A Common Stock, or any increase of the rights and preferences of any
class having rights and preferences prior or superior to shares of Class
A Common Stock; (g) any limitation or denial of preemptive rights of
shares of Class A Common Stock; (h) the sale, lease, exchange, mortgage,
pledge or other disposition of all, or substantially all, the property
and assets of the Corporation; (i) the merger or consolidation of the
Corporation with or into any other corporation, or of any other
corporation with or into the Corporation; or (j) the dissolution of the
Corporation. If a majority of the Trustees shall oppose any such matter,
the Trustees need not solicit, obtain or follow directions from the
holders of the voting trust certificates, and such majority of Trustees
opposing any such proposal are authorized and empowered to vote all the
shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Trustees under the 1984 Voting
Trust against such proposal. A majority vote of the Trustees controls
actions to be taken by them; they may vote in person or by proxy to
another Trustee with or without direction how to vote. They may vote for
themselves as directors and officers of the Corporation and fix their
compensation provided it be commensurate with the duties and
responsibilities of the office or position held. They may name successor
trustees in event of death, resignation, removal from the Commonwealth of
Virginia or incapacity of any Trustee. They receive no compensation for
their services as Trustees. In the event that by virtue of a stock
dividend, stock split, reclassification of stock or subscription, the
Trustees receive further Class A Common Stock, it is to be held by them
subject to all of the provisions of the 1984 Voting Trust. In the event
that as a result of any merger, consolidation, sale of assets or
property, exchange or other cause, the shares of Class A Common Stock of
the Corporation held by the Trustees should be converted into and become
shares of another corporation, the 1984 Voting Trust shall be terminated
automatically unless the amount of voting stock in such other corporation
received as a result of the conversion would thereafter represent more
than one-third of the issued and outstanding voting stock of such other
corporation if it has no class of stock registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or more than one-twentieth of the issued and
outstanding voting stock of such other corporation if it has a class of
stock so registered, in either of which cases the 1984 Voting Trust shall
continue in force according to its terms.
Class B Common Stock, which has no vote on most matters, is publicly
traded in the over-the-counter market and is not subject to the 1984
Voting Trust.
Due to the substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock held
subject to the 1984 Voting Trust, the Trustees individually and
collectively may be deemed to be "control persons" of the Corporation
under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As of March 8, 1996, the Trustees under the 1984 Voting Trust
beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, voting trust certificates
evidencing an aggregate of 1,288,270 shares of Class A Common Stock
subject thereto, as well as another 465,753 shares of Class A Common
Stock that are not subject to the 1984 Voting Trust.
The following table shows as of March 8, 1996, the beneficial owner-
ship of all Class A and Class B Common Stock by each director of the
Corporation, and the beneficial ownership of the Corporation's Class A
Common Stock by any other person or entity known to the Corporation to
own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of such class. The
Corporation has no executive officers who are not directors. The amounts
shown for Class A Common Stock include beneficial ownership evidenced by
voting trust certificates of the 1984 Voting Trust, but exclude Class A
shares held by the Trustees thereunder.
