BBX Capital Corporation Contracts to Sell Its Interests in

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL --(Marketwired - April 21, 2015) - BBX Capital Real Estate, a division of BBX Capital Corporation ("BBX Capital," "BBX," and/or the "Company") ( NYSE : BBX ) announced today that a third party purchaser has entered into contracts to purchase two North Flagler properties located in West Palm Beach, Florida. 

The Company's North Flagler properties consist primarily of two land parcels. The first parcel is a 4.5 acre tract overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach, Florida that the Company holds the right to acquire through a majority-owned joint venture. In October 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with JRG USA pursuant to which JRG USA assigned to the joint venture a contract to purchase for $10.8 million the 4.5 acre parcel. The Company invested $0.5 million of cash (as of December 31, 2014) and is entitled to receive 80% of any joint venture distributions until it recovers its capital investment, and thereafter will be entitled to receive 70% of any joint venture distributions. 

The second parcel, owned by the Company directly, is a 2.7 acre parcel located adjacent to the above described 4.5 acre parcel. The 2.7 acre parcel was acquired by the Company through foreclosure and had a carrying value of $3.2 million as of December 31, 2014. 

On April 16, 2015, the joint venture entered into a contract to sell the 4.5 acre parcel to a third party developer for $20.0 million, and the Company entered into a contract to sell the 2.7 acre parcel to the same developer for $11.0 million. The joint venture will either assign its $10.8 million contract to purchase the 4.5 acre parcel to the buyer or acquire the parcel immediately prior to closing the sale with the buyer. The closing of each of these sales is contingent upon the expiration of a feasibility period and other conditions, including the buyer's due diligence, and there is no assurance that these sales will close under the terms of the respective contracts, or at all. Additionally, under the terms of these sales contracts, the buyer is required to purchase both properties, and may not complete the purchase of one parcel without completing the purchase of the other. The buyer has the right to terminate the contracts at any time prior to May 7, 2015 without any financial obligation to the joint venture or the Company.

While we have historically generally not issued a press release when we enter into highly contingent contracts for the sale of real estate, in light of the currently pending tender offer for shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock by BFC Financial Corporation, we have decided to disclose these newly entered contracts at this time.
