Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 7, 2013, the Tejon Ranch Co. (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of 3,000,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Company common stock, par value $0.50 per share (“Common Stock”), to holders of record of Common Stock as of August 21, 2013 (the “Record Date”). The Warrants were distributed to shareholders on August 28, 2013. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $40.00 per share and is exercisable through August 31, 2016, subject to the Company’s right to accelerate the expiration date under certain circumstances when the Warrants are in-the-money. Each holder of Common Stock as of the Record Date received a number of Warrants equal to the number of shares held multiplied by 0.14771, rounded to the nearest whole number. No cash or other consideration was paid in respect of any fractional Warrants that were rounded down. The Company issued the Warrants pursuant to a Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2013, between the Company, Computershare, Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as warrant agent.
At the time of issuance, the Company listed the Warrants on the New York Stock Exchange MKT (“NYSE MKT”). On February 26, 2016, the Company received a notice from NYSE MKT indicating that the Warrants are not in compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standard due to the security’s abnormally low market value of less than $0.01. Consequently, NYSE notified the Company that it has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Warrants pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and has suspended trading in the Warrants. To effect the delisting, NYSE will apply to the SEC to delist the Warrants pending completion of applicable procedures. Based on recent trading prices, the Company estimates the aggregate market value of the Warrants to be less than $0.1 million. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE.
