FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1952 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH PAGE SEVENTEEN $94,198 in Stock 793 Area Standard Employes Get 1198 Shares of Stock WOOD RIVER Standard Oil Co. has distributed $94,198.74 worth of Its stock to employes of Us Wood River refinery, it was anounced today by Fred Ordeman, manager. Distribution of 1198 shares was made to 793 local employes who participated in the second year of (lie company's employe savings nnd stock-bonus plan. The average weighted market price of the slock at distribution date was $78.63 a share. About 76 percent of eligible local employes are enrolled in the stock- bonus plan which is now in its third year.

To qualify for the plan, employes of a year or more of service join the company's retirement plan and authorize payroll deductions for buying United States savings bonds. Employes pay nothing for the stock itself. However, under federal law it is considered income and is subject to payroll deductions for income taxes, social security and annuity. "Employes may do what they please with both stock and bonds." Ordeman said, "It is nnutrally our hope that they will be able to retain them. About 82 percent of all employes who received stock last year still have it, and many employes have purchased more on the open market." The manager estimated the present distribution will give the company about 4,500 new stockholders nationally raising the total of Standard share holders to more than 120,000.

Standard's employes' savings and stock-bonus plan provides that an employe enrolled in the company's retirement plan may authorize payroll deductions of two to four percent of his "prior year's earnings for purchase of U.S. Scries E. bonds. He receives his bonds as they are paid for. At the end of the plan-year, the participant is given one share of Standard Oil Co.

Indiana stock for each "bonus unit" that he has invested in bonds during the year. A "bonus unit" is equal to times the book value of the stock the end of the calendar year preceding the plan-year. The bonus for the second plan year was $114. For the third planned year, the bonus unit will be $124 owing to the increase in book value during 1951.
