Power Concerns Merger Approved by SEC
The SEC approved the merger of Hudson Valley Fuel Corp into New York Power and Light Corp via Niagara Hudson intrasystem transactions. Niagara Hudson will transfer 57,000 Hudson Valley shares to New York Power in exchange for 192,103 New York Power shares. New York Power stock valued at 6.7 million dollars. The ruling notes the merger simplifies the system by eliminating Hudson Valley as a corporate entity while New York Power and Hudson Valley subsidiaries of Niagara Hudson remain. New York Power distributes electric energy and gas in Southeastern New York, purchasing most gas from Hudson Valley.
