Court Issues Opinion on Centennial at Tejon Ranch

Ruling provides clarity on the future of master planned Los Angeles County community

TEJON RANCH, Calif., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tejon Ranch Co. (NYSE:TRC), (“Tejon” or the “Company”), a diversified real estate development and agribusiness company, today released the following statement in response to the California Court of Appeals’ decision to uphold the Los Angeles County Superior Court’s previous decision regarding the Company’s Centennial development.

We disagree with the Court of Appeals’ ruling and importantly note that the decision affirms that the Company prevailed on 20 of the 23 items resolved at the trial court. Furthermore, the ruling does not address any additional issues. In the coming days, we intend to work with Los Angeles County to evaluate how best to advance Centennial in a way that benefits the region and delivers value for our shareholders.

Centennial remains one of the most extensively studied, climate-forward and resilient master planned communities ever proposed in the state. It will bring much needed housing, jobs and open space preservation to a County that urgently needs all three.

Tejon Ranch has a decades-long track record of navigating California’s complex land use process. We are confident in our ability to move Centennial forward, generate value for our shareholders, and deliver housing, jobs, open space and above all, opportunity for the region.
