Items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11
The Offer to Purchase and Items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the following information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
1. The following sections of the Offer to Purchase are being amended and supplemented hereby:
| (a) | The response to the question captioned “What is your source of funds for paying for the Shares?” under “Summary Term Sheet”; |
| (b) | The response to the question captioned “Are there any conditions to the Offer?” under “Summary Term Sheet”; |
| (c) | “Introduction” |
| (d) | “The Offer – Section 1 (Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date; Proration)”; |
| (e) | “The Offer – Section 10 (Source and Amount of Funds)”; |
| (f) | “The Offer – Section 12 (Conditions of the Offer)”; and |
| (g) | The “Related Party Transactions” section of “The Offer – Section 13 (Interests of Certain Persons in the Offer; Beneficial Ownership of the Shares; Transactions in the Shares; Related Party Transactions)”. |
Except as described below, each of the above-listed sections of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following two paragraphs at the end of such section or the applicable subsection or portion thereof as indicated above:
“On April 17, 2015, BFC entered into a Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with Bluegreen Specialty Finance, LLC (“Bluegreen Specialty Finance”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bluegreen, pursuant to which Bluegreen Specialty Finance agreed to provide an $80 million loan to BFC which may be used to fund BFC’s purchase of Shares and payment of related fees and expenses in the Offer. Amounts outstanding on the loan will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Payment of interest only will be required on a quarterly basis, with all amounts outstanding being due and payable at the end of five years. BFC may prepay the loan in whole or in part at any time, and prepayments will be required, to the extent necessary, in order for Bluegreen or its subsidiaries to remain in compliance with covenants under their outstanding indebtedness. The loan will not be secured by any assets of BFC or other collateral. As described elsewhere in this Offer to Purchase, BFC and BBX Capital own 54% and 46%, respectively, of Woodbridge, which owns 100% of Bluegreen. A copy of the Loan Agreement and Promissory Note is attached as Exhibit (b)(1) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.
BFC intends to use cash on hand to purchase Shares in the Offer and to pay related fees and expenses to the extent the funds required to do so exceed $80 million. Accordingly, the financing condition to the Offer has been satisfied or waived, and consummation of the Offer is no longer subject to a financing condition. However, the Offer remains subject to certain other conditions as described herein, including that BFC determines that the purchase of Shares in the Offer will not be reasonably likely to result in BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock being delisted from the NYSE or deregistered under the Exchange Act.”
| 4 |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the “Related Party Transactions” section of “The Offer – Section 13 (Interests of Certain Persons in the Offer; Beneficial Ownership of the Shares; Transactions in the Shares; Related Party Transactions)” is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting only the first paragraph set forth above at the end of such section.
