Class L (Life Estate) Stock
Ahtna shareholders voted on June 7, 2008 to approve Class L stock to lineal descendants of original Ahtna shareholders meeting the elegibility requirements and born after December 18, 1971. Ahtna is one of five ANCSA Regional Corporations to have extended this benefit to our children.
