Item 8.01 Other Events.
     On November 16, 2009, BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”), indirectly through a wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased approximately 7.4 million shares of our common stock from Central Florida Investments, Inc. (“CFI”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23 million. A portion of the purchase price will be held in escrow to be used toward the payment of any obligation that CFI is determined to have to us in connection with a pending Section 16(b) legal action against CFI and its affiliates. As a result of the share purchase, BFC now owns approximately 16.9 million shares, or approximately 52%, of our issued and outstanding common stock. Prior to the purchase, BFC owned approximately 9.5 million shares, or approximately 29%, of our issued and outstanding common stock. Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo, our Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively, may be deemed to control BFC and serve as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BFC and Vice Chairman of BFC, respectively.
