In response to National Land Partners' press release, Atlantic Blue Trust issued a press release stating that it had absolutely no intention of selling its Alico shares to National Land Partners or to anyone else and that Atlantic Blue Trust had previously communicated that position to representatives of National Land Partners. I want to reiterate to the Special Committee that Atlantic Blue Trust's Alico shares are not for sale. In making this statement, I have personally polled the various family member shareholders of Atlantic Blue Trust, and they are unanimous and unequivical in their support for Atlantic Blue Trust's position with respect to its Alico shares. Quite apart from the fact that National Land Partners has not demonstrated any financing source for its purported offer, the simple fact is that, given Atlantic Blue Trust's position that its Alico shares are not for sale, there is no meaningful possibility that National Land Partners' purported offer can lead to a transaction. We remain committed to pursuing the possible restructuring previously discussed with the Special Committee and look forward to meeting with the Special Committee and its advisors as soon as possible to further outline the possible restructuring for the Special Committee's consideration. Sincerely, /s/ John R. Alexander ------------------------ John R. Alexander cc: Charles W. Mulaney, Jr., Esq. Mark Gerstein, Esq. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
