Applications by JOHN L. BRAGG, P.O. Box 158, Oxford, Nova Scotia, B0M 1P0, requesting authority to effect an intra-corporate reorgani- zation of its (cable) distribution undertakings.

Bragg.
|
|
PART A
|
|
For authority to transfer all of its interest in licensee companies, through a series of transfers, resulting in the incorporation of New Holdco, a company being controlled by Tidnish Holdings Limited, which in turn is controlled by John L.
