USX Capital Trust I Redeems Its `QUIPS'PRNewswire USX Corporation (USX) announced today that its wholly owned business trust subsidiary, USX Capital Trust I (Capital Trust), subject to and conditioned upon the effectiveness of the proposed separation by USX of its energy and steel businesses: USX-Marathon Group (NYSE: MRO) and USX-U.S. Steel Group (NYSE: X), is redeeming on January 2, 2002 or on the first day immediately following the day that the separation becomes effective, whichever comes later (Redemption Date), all of the then outstanding 6.75 Percent Convertible Quarterly Income Preferred Securities (QUIPS) (NYSE: X.Z). This redemption is required pursuant to the terms of the QUIPS as a result of, and is conditioned upon, the effectiveness of the separation. If the Redemption Date is January 2, 2002, Capital Trust will credit holders' accounts at the Depository Trust Company (DTC) an amount in cash equal to $50.01875 per QUIPS held on the Redemption Date, reflecting the redemption price of $50 per share, plus a cash payment for accrued but unpaid distributions through the Redemption Date. If the Redemption Date occurs after January 2, 2002, Capital Trust will further credit holders' accounts for any additional accrued but unpaid distributions. On and after the Redemption Date, distributions on the QUIPS will cease to accrue, and all rights of holders of QUIPS will cease, except the right to receive the redemption price, together with accrued but unpaid distributions through the Redemption Date. The QUIPS were issued in book entry form only through The DTC and the redemption price will be paid through DTC, which in accordance with its procedures will make payment to its member securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations.
