CLASS L (LIFE ESTATE) STOCK

Ahtna shareholders voted on June 7, 2008 to approve Class L stock to lineal descendants of original Ahtna shareholders that met the eligibility requirements and were born after December 18, 1971. Ahtna is one of five ANCSA Regional Corporations to have extended this benefit to our children.

Below is the Class L stock application booklet for enrolling descendants. Applications are also available at both Ahtna, Inc. offices. You may also request that an application be mailed to you by calling (907) 822-3476 or (907) 868-8250.
