Bail Option on Midamerica Stock Dies with Van Sweringens

Report to Probate Judge Brewer states the right to enforce the option granted to Ball and Tomlinson to buy a controlling Midamerica stake remained subject to the original terms if it persisted. Those terms included management by the Van Sweringens heirs, payment for 8250 shares in escrow, and settlement of 75 million in debts. Attorneys Niman and Wykoff noted the option’s status and potential continuance under the same conditions, with the court likely not authorizing a suit to enforce it.
