INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 4 (this “Final Amendment”) to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (as amended, this “Schedule 13E-3”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) jointly by the following persons (collectively, the “filing persons”): (a) Bluegreen Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Bluegreen”) and issuer of the common stock that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (b) BFC Financial Corporation, a Florida corporation (“BFC”); (c) Woodbridge Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of BFC (“Woodbridge”); (d) BXG Florida Corporation, a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Woodbridge (“Merger Sub”); (e) BBX Capital Corporation, a Florida corporation (“BBX Capital”); (f) Alan B. Levan; and (g) John E. Abdo.

 

This Final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of this Schedule 13E-3. Except as set forth in this Final Amendment, all information in this Schedule 13E-3 remains unchanged.

 

The information contained in this Schedule 13E-3 concerning Bluegreen was supplied by Bluegreen, and the information contained in this Schedule 13E-3 concerning each filing person other than Bluegreen was supplied by each such filing person.

 

 
 

Item 15. Additional Information.

 

At a special meeting of Bluegreen’s shareholders held on March 28, 2013, Bluegreen’s shareholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 14, 2012, by and among BFC, Woodbridge, Merger Sub and Bluegreen (the “Merger Agreement”).

 

On April 2, 2013, Bluegreen and Merger Sub filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Articles of Merger with the Florida Department of State to effect the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Bluegreen, with Bluegreen continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodbridge.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Merger, each share of Bluegreen’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding at the effective time of the Merger was canceled and (other than shares of Bluegreen’s common stock owned by BFC or Woodbridge, and shares of Bluegreen’s common stock owned by shareholders who duly exercised and perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with Massachusetts law) converted into the right to receive $10.00 in cash (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. The shares of Bluegreen’s common stock owned by BFC and Woodbridge, which represented approximately 53% of the outstanding shares of such stock prior to the Merger, were canceled at the effective time of the Merger without any payment therefor. In addition, each option to acquire shares of Bluegreen’s common stock that was outstanding at the effective time of the Merger, whether vested or unvested, was canceled in exchange for the holder’s right to receive the excess, if any, of the $10.00 Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of the option, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Each Bluegreen restricted stock award that was outstanding at the effective time of the Merger, whether vested or unvested, converted into the right to receive, with respect to each share of Bluegreen’s common stock then subject to the award, the $10.00 Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

 

In connection with the financing of the Merger, on April 2, 2013, BBX Capital entered into a Purchase Agreement with BFC and Woodbridge (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, BBX Capital invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge contemporaneously with the closing of the Merger in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. BFC continues to hold the remaining 54% of Woodbridge’s outstanding equity interests.

 

As a result of the Merger, Bluegreen’s common stock ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) following the close of trading on April 2, 2013 and became eligible for delisting from the NYSE and termination of registration pursuant to Rules 12g-4(a)(1) and 12h-3(b)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act. On April 4, 2013, the NYSE, at Bluegreen’s request, filed an application on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to report that Bluegreen’s common stock is no longer listed on the NYSE. Bluegreen intends to file a Certification and Notice of Termination on Form 15 with the SEC in order to deregister its common stock under the Exchange Act and suspend Bluegreen’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the effective date of the Form 25.
