"I've had the chance to personally welcome Andrew Dakos to the board, and we look forward to working together to maximize the value of Tejon's extraordinary assets and ensure the company's story is better heard — and better understood — in the market," Walker stated. Dakos received 19,785,261 proxy votes in favor to 17,338,888 against, which allowed him to unseat 24-year director Michael Winer, who received 821,536 in favor and 2,974,871 against. The results were announced Monday, having been certified by an independent election inspector following the company's annual shareholder vote on Tuesday of last week. The vote capped what may have been an unprecedented battle for influence on the board of Tejon Ranch, owner of the largest contiguous private property in California. Bulldog won support from at least two other investor groups that agreed it was time for new blood on the board.
