NEWS RELEASE - MAY 15, 1995
KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGE
Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. ("KCSI") announced today that Mr.
Michael R. Haverty, former President of Santa Fe Railway, has been named
President and Chief Executive Officer of The Kansas City Southern Railway
("KCSR"), and also named as a Director and Executive Vice President of KCSI.
Mr. Haverty succeeds George W. Edwards, Jr. who has announced his retirement,
and who also resigned his positions with the Company.
Landon H. Rowland, President and Chief Executive Officer of KCSI, said, "These
management changes signal a renewed and strengthened commitment to our
transportation business. We believe such executives as Mike Haverty do not
often come along. We believe the time is right to accomplish a seamless
transfer which will build on our past record, Mike Haverty will provide us
with an excellent opportunity to do just that."
Rowland also said, "George W. Edwards has accomplished numerous goals at the
KCS and looks forward to continuing his contribution to this industry. He
presided over the largest expansion of the KCS Railway in its history. The
acquisition of the MidSouth and expansion into Dallas/Fort Worth are
especially important events in George's term. We wish him well."
George Edwards said, "I have appreciated the opportunity to serve this fine
Company. It has been a great experience and the railroad is well positioned
for the future."
Mike Haverty, age 50, is a native of Atchison, Kansas. He is a graduate of
the University of Southwestern Louisiana (BS) and the University of Chicago
(MBA). He is married with three children.
