In October, Alicia’s estate received an interest payment of $11,500 ($6,000 accrued before September 4, 2013) paid by Emerald and a cash of $9,000 from Drab. The Drab was declared on August 19 and was payable to date of record shareholders on September 3, 2013. Although Mitch survives Alicia, she is the designated beneficiary of the policy.
