the commercial state and to the manu facture and sale of the same will require the expenditure of substantial new cap ital funds in the business. It is also stated that more facilities and personnel will be required not only for this pro gram but for the companys develop ment work in metallurgical and other fields and for the servicing of its in creased volume of contract research and development for others. In order to raise the additional new funds needed Ionics, proposes, after consummation of the recapitalization plan, to sell to the public through underwriters not less than 131,784 additional shares of its new common stock. Research would own 50.5 percent of all of the new com mon stock outstanding after such sale.
At March 31,1953, Research valued its 7,500 shares of common stock of Ionics at $500,000 and its 1,489 shares of pre ferred stock at $148,900. H ie applica tion states that if a similar valuation is placed on the common stock not owned by Research that the entire presently outstanding preferred and common stock of Ionics would have a total value of $915,559. On the basis of such a valua tion the 199,568 shares of new common stock to be issued to Research would have a value of $694,440 as compared with its present valuation of its hold ings of Ionics stocks of $648,900.
