OVERVIEW OF ENGAGEMENT AND PROPOSED MERGER

The Engagement

Hovde was retained by the Special Committee of BBX Capital to serve as its independent financial advisor in connection with the proposed Merger (as defined below). Specifically, Hovde has been asked to solely provide an opinion (the “Opinion”) to the Special Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) in connection with the Merger.

The Proposed Merger

Hovde understands that BFC Financial Corporation, a Florida corporation (“BFC”), BBX Merger Subsidiary LLC, a Florida limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of BFC (“Merger Sub”), and BBX Capital Corporation, a Florida corporation (“BBX Capital”) are about to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which BBX Capital will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company in the merger (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth therein, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of BFC, Merger Sub, BBX Capital or the holders of any of their respective securities, each share of the Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of BBX Capital (“BBX Capital Class A Common Stock”) and the Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of BBX Capital (together with BBX Capital Class A Common Stock, collectively, “BBX Capital Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for shares of BBX Capital Common Stock owned by BFC or Merger Sub and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, either: (i) 5.40 shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of BFC (the “BFC Class A Common Stock” and, together with the Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of BFC, collectively, “BFC Common Stock”)(the “Per Share Stock Consideration”), or (ii) $20.00 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”). The right of such holders, at their election, to receive either the Per Share Stock Consideration or the Per Share Cash Consideration is referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration.” The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

Any capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the definition ascribed to them in the draft Agreement dated 7/26/2016 provided by the Special Committee to Hovde

reviewed the current and historical market prices and trading volumes for each of BFC’s and BBX Capital’s common stock;

compared the financial performance of each of BFC and BBX Capital and the prices and trading activity of each of BFC’s and BBX Capital’s common stock, and analyzed the financial performance of certain of BFC’s and BBX Capital subsidiaries as compared to certain other publicly-traded companies Hovde deemed comparable to such entities and their securities;

reviewed the terms of recent merger, acquisition and control investment transactions, to the extent publicly available, involving companies that we considered relevant;

assessed the general economic, market and financial conditions; and

performed such other analyses, reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as Hovde deemed appropriate.

IV BLUEGREEN VALUATION ANALYSIS


LOGO

 

BLUEGREEN VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Hovde utilized the following methodologies to determine a range of values for Bluegreen:

Market Approach

Select Public Companies Analysis

Hovde selected four (4) publicly traded companies that it deemed relevant to its analysis.

Hovde analyzed financial performance of each of the selected public companies and then analyzed their respective trading multiples.

Hovde analyzed a number of factors in comparing Bluegreen to the selected public companies, including historical and forecasted growth in revenue and profits, profit margins, and other characteristics that we deemed relevant.

None of the companies utilized for comparative purposes in the following analysis are directly comparable to Bluegreen. Hovde does not have access to non-public information of any of the companies used for comparative purposes. Accordingly, a complete valuation analysis of Bluegreen and the proposed Merger cannot rely solely upon a quantitative review of the selected companies, and involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of Bluegreen. Therefore, the Selected Public Companies Analysis is subject to certain limitations.

V BBX VALUATION ANALYSIS


LOGO

 

BBX VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Hovde utilized the following methodologies to determine a range of values for BBX:

Market Approach

Exchange Ratio and Valuation Based on Relative Book Value

Based on the relative book value of BBX and BFC at March 31, 2016 and each company’s volume weighted average price over 5, 20, 30, 60, 90, 180, and 360 days. Hovde calculated the implied per share values for BBX as well as implied exchange ratios between BBX and BFC

Exchange Ratio and Valuation Based on Relative Volume Weighted Stock Prices

Based on volume weighted average prices over 5, 20, 30, 60, 90, 180, and 360 days. Hovde calculated implied per share values for BBX as well as implied exchange ratios between BBX and BFC assuming BFC’s closing stock price of $2.84 as of July 25, 2016 Comparable Transactions

Majority Shareholder Purchasing Remaining Interest in BBX Capital

Hovde compared BFC’s cash offer of $20 per BBX share to the premium to market paid one day, one week, and one month prior to announcement by majority shareholders in similar transactions

Exchange ratio and valuation based on implied Bluegreen market valuation

Asset Value Approach

Sum-of-the-Parts Valuation

Hovde estimated the implied value of BBX by analyzing individual parts of BBX and BFC

Bluegreen: Based on a market approach Hovde estimated the implied value of Bluegreen (See Bluegreen Valuation Methodology)

Real Estate Owned: Hovde estimated the implied value of real estate owned in two manners: (1) the carrying value of real estate owned as provided by management, and (2) the appraised value of real estate owned as provided by management

Real Estate Development and Joint Ventures: Hovde estimated the implied value of real estate development and joint ventures in two manners: (1) the carrying value of real estate owned as provided by management, and (2) based on discounting future cash flows by management’s 15% IRR hurdle for such projects

Other Holdings: Hovde assumed other holdings of BBX and BFC to be valued at book value

Note: The implied values resulting from these methodologies may not represent the actual price, or the highest or best price, that could be obtained by BBX in the Merger or in a sale, merger, combination, or other corporate transaction with a third party. Expenses and operating results were not considered other than for Bluegreen. Taxes on sale or liquidation were not considered for any entity. The values indicated herein were not intended to be a standalone valuation of BBX.

RELATIVE VALUATION BASED ON IMPLIED BLUEGREEN MARKET VALUATION

Hovde analyzed the implied market valuation of Bluegreen based on the market capitalizations of BBX and BFC and the relative ownership of Bluegreen by each company.

Based solely on the market prices of BBX and BFC and each company’s respective ownership of Bluegreen, Hovde estimated implied values of Bluegreen based on the current trading prices of BBX and BFC and assuming Bluegreen comprised between 50% and 100% of the overall equity value of each company.

Since the market ascribed more value to Bluegreen within BBX’s public stock price, we estimated the market capitalization of BFC using Bluegreen’s value within BBX’s stock price. This allows for an apples-to-apples comparison of the value of Bluegreen within BBX and BFC’s stock prices; however, it does not address the different capitalization structures or other business operations BFC and BBX, respectively, which could materially affect the stock values.
