Bob Bethune, interim chief executive officer, expressed relief on the results. "Considerable management and board time- has been devoted to the preparations for these meetings. Now we'll be able to turn our full attention to achieving our business plans. "Despite our well- publicized difficulties," he added, "we have continued to enjoy solid support from members and customers and we certainly thank them for that support." Garth MacGirr, president of Price Waterhouse and chairman of the creditors' meetings, said in announcing. the result that. over 98 per cent 'acceptance of the plan of arrangement was given. "UCO should take con- siderable pride in the extent of this support. This amount is quite unusual and in- dicates that there are a lot of people who are wanting UCO to become successful." UCO went under court protection on Aug: 27 of this year to provide time to restructure. its financial ar- rangements. Price Water- house Ltd. was named inter- im receiver and administra- tor. These creditors' meet- ings were held as required by the Supreme Court of On- tario to obtain creditor ap- proval for the refinancing. For the .plan of arrange- ment, as the refinancing plan is called, to be approved each creditor group had to vote in support of the propos- al — with a majority in num- bers representing three- quarters in value of the creditors of each class at the meetings in person or by proxy. The new financial plan is scheduled for implementa- tion on April 1, 1985. Hirsh Tadman vice president of finance and research of the Canadian Co- operative Credit Society Ltd., said "Adoption of the' plan of arrangement is a crucial first step in UCO's return to financial heatlh. As a fellow co-operative, we will continue to support the ef- forts of UCO's board of directors and management and, as a creditor, we ap- prove generally of the finan- cial terms of the agree- ment."
