FORT LAUDERDALE, FL --(Marketwired - July 06, 2017) - BBX Capital Corporation (
The Company anticipates that its Class A Common Stock will begin trading on the NYSE on Thursday, July 13, 2017, under the ticker symbol "BBX".
"We have enjoyed a long standing relationship with the New York Stock Exchange for many years. Our legacy companies, Bluegreen Corporation, Levitt Corporation and BankAtlantic Bancorp were all at one point listed on the NYSE and BBX Capital (then BFC Financial Corporation) was previously listed on the NYSE-Arca. We are pleased to bring BBX Capital 'back home' to the NYSE," commented Alan B. Levan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBX Capital.
"This is an important milestone for BBX Capital. We have witnessed significant progress in our financial and operating platforms, and believe listing on the NYSE offers the potential to enhance shareholder value by improving liquidity and growing our visibility and branding throughout the global investment community," Levan concluded.
The Company's Class B Common Stock will continue trading on the OTCQX under its ticker symbol "BBXTB".
