Dow Jones Description
Landmark Land Company, Inc. (the ?company?), is a Delaware corporation that, prior to October 1991, was in the business of real estate development and sales, including owning and operating a number of resort golf courses and tennis clubs, as well as owning a savings bank, a mortgage banking company, a life insurance company, and other financial services companies. Substantially all of the company?s operations were owned and its businesses conducted by subsidiaries of Oak Tree Savings Bank, S.S.B. (?OTSB?), Landmark?s savings bank subsidiary headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1991, as a result of regulations and requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (?FIRREA?), the Office of Thrift Supervision (?OTS?) seized substantially all of the company?s assets and transferred them to a newly chartered federal thrift institution in which the company and its shareholders had no interest. Subsequent to this seizure, the company had little operational activity and extremely limited capital resources and liquidity. Between 1991 and March 2002, the company was essentially dormant, except for the pursuit of a lawsuit captioned Landmark Land Company, Inc. v. United States (Case No. 95-502-C in the United States Court of Federal Claims). The suit included claims by the company for breach of contract, restitution, and deprivation of property without just compensation or due process of law.
