Item 8.01 | Other Events |
The Company has learned that an internet web site provided erroneous information regarding trades in our stock by mutual funds. In particular, the site noted that our largest shareholder Third Avenue Value Fund had sold the majority of its investment in Tejon Ranch Co. This is not true and in fact Third Avenue has added to its position over the last few months. Third Avenue is our largest shareholder, owning approximately 4.8 million shares, or approximately 28% of the outstanding shares.
