Allegheny bankruptcy rings up its own costs
Article Abstract:
Companies representing the bankrupt Allegheny health system and its creditors have so far submitted $13 million in bills. Professionals representing 12 companies have requested that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Pittsburgh, PA, approve a total of $13 million in costs and fees so far. Allegheny has a debt of $1.5 billion. The Allegheny case's professional expenses easily surpass the almost $2 million that attorneys and accountants in the liquidation of the Foundation for New Era Philanthropy got for their work. The Allegheny expenses are comparable to those incurred by large corporate bankruptcies around the U.S. in recent years.

Provident Mutual shift to stocks is approved
Article Abstract:
Provident Mutual Insurance Co. has received approval from its shareholders to reorganize into a new corporate structure that would allow it to sell shares to the public. Over 57,400 policyholders voted, mostly through proxies, to approve the plan at the company's headquarters in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. Almost 7,000 voted against the plan and over 22 percent of all proxies were returned. Although Provident has no current intention of issuing stock, the restructuring allows it access to capital markets or the ability to merge with other insurers, said Robert W. Kloss, president and chief executive.
