Riklis reshapes Rapid American into bondholder empire
Meshulam Riklis, chairman of the $2.6 billion Rapid American Corp., rids common shareholders for bondholders via a merger with Kenton. Bonds yield 20 percent while earnings barely cover interest, and shareholders face tax on bond discounts. Riklis and family hold 60 percent, American Financial 40. The move follows numerous lawsuits, a 1975 stock loss, and a controversial bonus to Riklis.
