Tejon Ranch Company Announces Results of Rights Offering

Tejon Ranch Co. (NYSE: TRC) announced today that, based on the preliminary results of its just concluded rights offering, it anticipates raising $90 million, the maximum gross proceeds possible. The rights offering concluded on October 27, 2017 and was extremely well received and oversubscribed with demand for shares more than doubling the total rights shares available through the offering. Tejon previously offered transferable rights to purchase 4,173,067 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $18.00 per share to stockholders of record as of October 4, 2017. In addition, Tejon has the option to issue an additional 833,333 shares to honor over-subscription requests. The $90 million of capital that is anticipated being raised will include the release of 826,933 over-allotment shares and, as a result of the offering, the Company will issue 5,000,000 new shares of common stock. A total of 25,873,235 shares of common stock will be outstanding once all new shares have been delivered.

“The Company and its Board of Directors are appreciative of the continued support of our current and new shareholders,” said Gregory S. Bielli, President and CEO. “Investing the maximum amount possible and, in fact, subscribing for more than twice the shares available, is evidence of their confidence in Tejon Ranch Co. These new capital proceeds will help us maintain our strong balance sheet as we move forward with the completion of our entitlement and land development activities.”

The net proceeds of the offering will be used to provide additional working capital for general corporate purposes, including to fund general infrastructure costs and the development of buildings at Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, to continue forward with entitlement and permitting programs for the Centennial at Tejon Ranch and Grapevine at Tejon Ranch communities and costs related to the preparation of the development of Mountain Village at Tejon Ranch.
