Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is being filed by BFC Financial Corporation, a Florida
corporation (BFC), and Woodbridge Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and
wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC (Woodbridge LLC), as successor to Woodbridge Holdings Corporation
(Woodbridge Corp.), to amend as set forth herein the Schedule 13D filed on April 22, 2002, as
previously amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on January 14, 2004, relating to the
common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Bluegreen Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the
Issuer).
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is filed on behalf of BFC and its wholly-owned Woodbridge LLC subsidiary (the
Filers).
On September 21, 2009, pursuant to a merger agreement between BFC, Woodbridge LLC and
Woodbridge Corp., Woodbridge Corp. was merged with and into Woodbridge LLC, with Woodbridge LLC
being the surviving company of the merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC.
Woodbridge Corp. previously reported its direct ownership of 9,517,325 shares of the Issuers
common stock which, as a result of the merger, are now directly owned by Woodbridge LLC. BFC, as
the sole member of Woodbridge LLC, may be deemed to beneficially own the 9,517,325 shares of the
Issuers common stock held by Woodbridge LLC.
BFC is a diversified holding company that invests in and acquires private and public companies
in different industries. Woodbridge LLC is the successor company to Woodbridge Corp., which
historically operated primarily within the real estate industry but more recently operated under a
business strategy which included the pursuit of investments and acquisitions within or outside of
the real estate industry as well as the continued development of master-planned communities through
its wholly owned subsidiary, Core Communities, LLC. It is expected that Woodbridge LLC will
conduct its business consistent with Woodbridge Corp.s recent business strategy. Each of BFCs
and Woodbridge LLCs principal executive offices are located at 2100 West Cypress Creek Road, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida 33309.
As described above, BFC is the sole member of, and therefore may be deemed to control,
Woodbridge LLC. In addition, based on their collective ownership position in BFCs Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock, Alan B. Levan, BFCs Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President, and John E. Abdo, BFCs Vice Chairman, may be deemed to control BFC. Messrs. Levan and
Abdo are also Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively, of the Issuer.
All executive officers, directors and control persons of BFC are United States citizens.
Information as to the identity and background of the executive officers, directors and control
persons of BFC is set forth on Appendix A attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
BFC, which is a Florida corporation, is the sole member of Woodbridge LLC. Alan B. Levan
serves as Chief Executive Officer and President, and John K. Grelle serves as Chief Financial
Officer, of Woodbridge LLC. In addition, Messrs. Levan and Grelle as well as John E. Abdo serve
as the managers of Woodbridge LLC. Messrs. Levan, Grelle and Abdo, who are all United States
citizens, also serve as executive officers and (other than Mr. Grelle) directors of BFC.
Accordingly, information required by this Item 2 with respect to Messrs. Levan, Grelle and Abdo is
set forth on Appendix A attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
During the last five years, neither BFC or, to the best of its knowledge, any of its executive
officers, directors or control persons, or Woodbridge LLC or, to the best of its knowledge, any of
its officers, managers or control persons, (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such
proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of,
or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Neither BFC or, to the best of its knowledge, any of its executive officers, directors or
control persons, or Woodbridge LLC or, to the best of its knowledge, any of its officers, managers
or control persons, currently has any plans that would result in any of the occurrences enumerated
in (a) through (j) of this Item 4. However, the Filers, as they deem appropriate in light of the
circumstances existing from time to time, may from time to time make additional investments in
securities of the Issuer, either in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, or sell
some or all of the shares of the Issuers common stock that they own. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, as previously disclosed, BFC intends to allocate resources among its
investments and subsidiaries in a manner which BFCs board of directors believes to be beneficial
to its shareholders, and this strategy may include additional investments in the Issuer.
Additionally, the Filers and/or Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo (who may be deemed to control the
Filers and serve as Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively, of each of BFC and the Issuer) may in
the future formulate a plan or make a proposal relating to any of the occurrences enumerated in (a)
through (j) of this Item 4. Further, as determined and approved by the Compensation Committee of
the Issuers Board of Directors, Messrs. Levan and Abdo, as directors of the Issuer, may from time
to time in the future be awarded equity compensation, including, without limitation, restricted
stock and stock options, under the Issuers stock incentive plan.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Woodbridge LLC directly owns 9,517,325 shares of the Issuers common stock, representing
approximately 28.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of such stock. Because Woodbridge LLC is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC, the 9,517,325 shares of the Issuers common stock directly owned
by Woodbridge LLC may also be deemed to be beneficially owned by BFC. Woodbridge LLC and BFC have
shared voting and dispositive power over these shares.
As described above, Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo may be deemed to control BFC and Woodbridge
LLC and, therefore, may be deemed to beneficially own the 9,517,325 shares of the Issuers common
stock owned by BFC and Woodbridge LLC. Messrs. Levan and Abdo additionally beneficially own and
have sole voting and dispositive power over, 121,100 shares and 121,000 shares, respectively, of
the Issuers common stock, which in each case includes the right to acquire 50,000 shares of the
Issuers common stock within 60 days. Accordingly, Messrs. Levan and Abdo may be deemed to
beneficially own, in the aggregate, 9,638,425 shares and 9,638,325 shares, respectively, of the
Issuers common stock, which in each case represents approximately 28.8% of the issued and
outstanding shares of such stock.
In addition, William Nicholson and Jarett Levan, directors of BFC, own and have sole voting
and dispositive power over 2,200 shares and 100 shares, respectively, of the Issuers common stock,
which in each case represents less than 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of such stock.
To the best of BFCs and Woodbridge LLCs knowledge, except as described above, none of BFCs
executive officers or directors or Woodbridge LLCs officers or managers beneficially owns any
shares of the Issuers common stock.
Neither BFC or, to the best of its knowledge, any of its executive officers, directors or
control persons, or Woodbridge LLC or, to the best of its knowledge, any of its officers, managers
or control persons, has effected any transaction in any shares of the Issuers common stock during
the past 60 days.
