Attachment to Form 4 filed by Winfred L. Thornton
Reporting Beneficial Ownership of
Shares of Florida East Coast Industries
Dated June 10, 1998
Explanation of Response: Pursuant to Instruction 4(b) of Form 4, Winfred L.
Thornton is the Reporting Person. Mr. Thornton, the Afred I. duPont Testamentary
Trust (the "duPont Trust"), the Nemours Foundation and each of the directors and
trustees of those institutions are considered to be members of a single group
("Group") within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"). In Ownership Reports and Trading By Officers,
Directors and Principal Security Holders, Release No. 34-25254 (Feb. 8, 1991)
("Release 34-25254"), the SEC stated that "only those securities in which a
member of a group has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest would be reported
[and] ... while securities holdings of group members may subject the group
members to Section 16, if the group member does not have or share a pecuniary
interest in securities held by other group members, the transactions of the
other group members do not create Section 16 obligations for that member." The
SEC also restates this position in Instruction 4(b) of Form 4.
Mr. Thornton is a trustee of the duPont Trust, a director of the Nemours
Foundation, a director of the Florida East Coast Industries ("FECI") and a
director of St. Joe Corporation ("St. Joe"). As of May 31, 1998, the duPont
Trust, the Nemours Foundation and St. Joe owned 0, 450,224 and 4,902,304 shares
of FECI, respectively. Mr. Thornton has no direct or indirect pecuniary interest
in the shares of FECI held by any other members of the Group, including the
Nemours Foundation and St. Joe. Furthermore, Mr. Thornton does not have the
ability through any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship to
receive a portion of the profits from transactions in any other Group member's
FECI shares. Likewise, the other Group members do not have a direct or indirect
pecuniary interest in Mr. Thornton's FECI shares nor will they receive a profit
from transactions involving Mr. Thornton's FECI shares.
Consistent with Release 34-25254, none of the other Group members, including the
Nemours Foundation and St. Joe, are Reporting Persons on this Form 4. Rather,
Mr. Thornton is the sole Reporting Person and is reporting only those shares of
which he has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest.
