On March 9, 2026, Tejon Ranch Co. (“Company”) Director Kenneth G. Yee informed the Company that he will not stand for reelection at the 2026 annual meeting, upon completing his current term as a director at the 2026 annual meeting. The Board thanks Director Yee for his service to the Company. In connection therewith and pursuant to authority conferred in Article III, Section 2 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), on March 9, 2026, the Board of Directors (“Board”) unanimously adopted a resolution reducing the size of the Board from ten to nine Directors, effective immediately upon adjournment of the 2026 annual meeting.

On March 9, 2026, the Board unanimously nominated nine incumbent directors to stand for reelection at the 2026 annual shareholder meeting. In seeking nomination to be reelected at the 2026 annual meeting, Board Chair Norman J. Metcalfe and Director Gregory S. Bielli stated that, while they are and will remain fully engaged in Company matters during their service, their intent (if reelected at the 2026 annual meeting) is to retire and not seek reelection at the 2027 annual meeting.

On March 9, 2026, the Board unanimously adopted a resolution expressing the intention to further reduce the number of Directors in light of Board Chair Metcalfe’s and Director Bielli’s stated intentions to retire and not seek reelection at the 2027 annual meeting (if reelected at the 2026 annual meeting), such that by the 2027 annual meeting the Board will be comprised of seven Directors. This further reduction in Board size will be formally approved by Board action at the time of said retirements as provided by Article III, Section 2 of the Bylaws.
