BUSINESS Overview History On December 15, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of the former BBX Capital Corporation (“BCC”) not previously owned by the Company and following the transaction the Company changed its name from BFC Financial Corporation to BBX Capital Corporation. The acquisition was consummated by the merger of BCC into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, BBX Merger Sub, LLC. As a consequence of the merger, BCC is now a wholly owned subsidiary of BBX Capital. The merger is described in further detail in Item 8 – Note 3 of this report. Prior to the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of BCC, the Company had an 82% equity interest in BCC and a direct 54% equity interest in Woodbridge, the parent company of Bluegreen Corporation. BCC held the remaining 46% interest in Woodbridge. Woodbridge became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of BCC by the Company. BCC’s principal asset until July 31, 2012 was its ownership of BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries (“BankAtlantic”). BankAtlantic was a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. On July 31, 2012, BCC completed the sale to BB&T Corporation (“BB&T”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BankAtlantic (the stock sale and related transactions described herein are collectively referred to as the “BankAtlantic Sale” or the “BB&T Transaction”). Prior to the closing of the BB&T Transaction, BankAtlantic formed two wholly- owned subsidiaries, BBX Capital Asset Management, LLC (“CAM”) and Florida Asset Resolution Group, LLC (“FAR”) and transferred certain non-performing commercial loans, commercial real estate and previously written-off assets to the two wholly owned subsidiaries as described in further detail in Item 8 – Note 1 of this report.
