BOSTON & MAINE RAILROAD
Boston, Mass., August 19, 1915.
To the Noteholders of the Boston & Maine Railroad:
The holders of notes due September 2, 1915, are asked to extend these notes to March 2, 1916, on the
following terms:
' (1) ANY HOLDER OF NOTES MAY EXTEND THE AMOUNT DUE THEREON UNTIL
MARCH 2, 1916, WITH INTEREST DISCOUNTED AT THE RATE OF 6 PER ANNUM. OR
(2) ANY HOLDER OF NOTES MAY EXTEND 80 OF THE AMOUNT DUE THEREON
ON THE TERMS STATED ABOVE AND MAY RECEIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE RE
MAINING 20 FIVE PER CENT. GOLD NOTES OF MAINE RAILWAYS COMPANIES,
DUE APRIL 1, 1919, AT PAR FLAT WITH OCTOBER 1, 1915, COUPON ATTACHED, OF
WHICH ONE-HALF WILL BE NOTES CONVERTIBLE AT THE OPTION OF THE
HOLDER PAR FOR PAR, INTO MAINE CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY CAPITAL
STOCK UNTIL OCTOBER 1, 1918, AND THE REMAINING -ONE-HALF WILL BE NON
CONVERTIBLE. NOTEHOLDERS WILL BE PERMITTED TO INCREASE OR DECREASE
THE PERCENTAGES OF "EXTENDED NOTES" AND OF MAINE RAILWAYS COM
PANIES NOTES SO AS TO OBTAIN EVEN MULTIPLES OF ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
During; the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, by strict economy and with the partial benefit of increased
passenger and freight rates recently granted the road was able, notwithstanding a decrease in operating
revenue of $1,489,236, to come within about $334,000 of -meeting its fixed charges, as against a deficit of
$2,044,742 for the previous year, While this improvement does not remove the necessity of reorganization
it strengthens our belief that if a consolidation with the Leased Lines can be effected on equitable terms,
a financially strong corporation will result which will be to the greatest advantage of all.
If granted, the extension of your notes now asked for will not In any way diminish your security, as
no mortgage can be placed upon the property without securing your notes, and it will enable the manage
ment to continue its efforts toward a sound reorganization, tinder favorable conditions. Should holders oi
Boston & Maine Notes who accept Plan No. 2 desire notes of Maine Railways Companies in excess of
their allotment of 20 they may be permitted to Increase their holding of Maine Railways Companies
Notes and decrease their Boston & Maine Notes accordingly, from any of such notes remaining in the
Treasury, In case of applications in excess of the amount of notes available, allotment will be made as
far as practicable upon a pro-rata basis.
Acceptance of the above offers are to be coustrued as conditional upon action by the Directors, not
later than September 1, 1915, declaring the plan of extension effective. JSJJ
NOTEHOLDERS ARE REQUESTED TO INFORM THE OLD COLONY TRUST COM
PANY, 17 COURT STREET, BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS, BEFORE 2 P, M., PR1DAY,
AUGUST 27, 1918, WHICH OF THE ABOVE ALTERNATIVE OFFERS THEY RESPMC
TPVELY DESIRE TO ACCEPT, AND TO STATE IN THEIR LETTERS GIVING THIS W
FORMATION THE NUMBERS, DENOMINATIONS AND DATES OF MATURITY F TJ
NOTES HELD BY THEM. NOTEHOLDERS WILL SUBSEQUENTLY BE' AJMC&B TO
PRESENT THEIR NOTES FOR EXTENSION OR EXCHANGE.
