Westinghouse plan to reform Equitable Life control
George Westinghouse proposes a stock control plan for Equitable Life Assurance involving 5000 shares of 20 dollars each, with trustees voting on a charter amendment. The scheme limits directorship to policyholders, sets one share per holder, and annually elects seven new policyholders. Trustees could offer the amended shares to the largest policyholders at 1000 dollars each until all 5000 are sold. Westinghouse claims reforms can be achieved without legislation and notes minimal policyholder engagement so far.
