Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Tejon Ranch Co., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation
of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement")
with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of 800,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company which have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the
Company's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan and 200,000 shares of the
Common Stock of the Company which have been reserved for issuance
pursuant to the Company's Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive
Plan. The shares reserves for issuance pursuant to the two plans
are referred to as the "Shares," and the two plans are referred
to as the "Plans."
We have examined, among other things, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, the Plans, the related
standard form agreements and an officer's certificate as to
corporate proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the
authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to awards
granted under the Plan. Based on the foregoing and in reliance
thereon, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued pursuant
to awards granted and exercised in accordance with the provisions
of the Plans and related agreements, will be legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
GIBSON, DUNN & CRUTCHER LLP
