Grammar Question

Hi,

Please help me on the below questio.

I would like to know the difference between the following sentences,

1. I told that the company is holiday this Friday.
2. I am told that the company is holiday this Friday.

My understanding is,
1. I knew that company is holiday this Friday, and I told to someone.
2. Somebody told me that company is holiday this Friday. I didn't know that.

Is that correct?

Also can you please provide me some more relative sentences.
