Tejon Ranch Co. (NYSE:TRC) is urging shareholders to vote 'FOR' the Company's 10 director nominees on the WHITE proxy card at the upcoming Annual Meeting on May 13, 2025, while opposing Bulldog Investors' nominees. The company emphasizes its successful track record in real estate development and land use entitlements in California.
