Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On May 5, 2021, Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (“BVH”) completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the approximately 7% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (“Bluegreen”) not previously beneficially owned by BVH. The acquisition was effected by BVH pursuant to a statutory, short-form merger (the “Merger”) under Florida law and a Plan of Merger, dated May 5, 2021 (the “Plan of Merger”), entered into by BVH. Pursuant to the Plan of Merger, BXG Acquisition Sub Corporation (“Merger Sub”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BVH, merged with and into Bluegreen, with Bluegreen being the surviving corporation in the Merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BVH. In accordance with the Plan of Merger, each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that was outstanding at the effective time of the merger, other than shares beneficially owned by BVH, was converted into the right to receive 0.51 shares of BVH’s Class A Common Stock. Any fractional share of BVH’s Class A Common Stock otherwise resulting from the application of the exchange ratio in the Merger will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Under Florida law, BVH, as the holder of more than 80% of the outstanding shares of the outstanding common stock of each of Bluegreen and Merger Sub, approved and effected the Merger (by action of BVH’s Board of Directors) without the approval of, or action by, the Board of Directors or any other shareholders of Bluegreen.
On May 5, 2021, BVH and Bluegreen issued a press release announcing the closing of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
The information included under Item 2.01 above is incorporated into this Item 3.01 by reference.
Prior to the Merger, Bluegreen’s common stock was listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “BXG.”. On May 5, 2021, the companies informed the NYSE of the completion of the Merger and, accordingly, Bluegreen’s common stock will be suspended from trading on the NYSE prior to the opening of trading on May 6, 2021. The companies also requested that the NYSE file a Form 25 with the SEC to delist Bluegreen’s common stock from the NYSE and deregister Bluegreen’s common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Bluegreen intends to file a Certification and Notice of Termination on Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to deregister its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the effective date of the Form 25.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The information included under Items 2.01 and 3.01 above is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference.
As a result of the completion of the Merger, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than BVH, which now indirectly owns 100% of Bluegreen) ceased to have any rights with respect to their shares of Bluegreen’s common stock, except for the right to receive the shares of BVH’s Class A Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to the Plan of Merger, as described above.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

BLUEGREEN VACATIONS HOLDING CORPORATION AND BLUEGREEN VACATIONS CORPORATION ANNOUNCE CLOSING OF MERGER
-- BVH Now Owns 100% of Bluegreen --
BOCA RATON, Florida -- May 5, 2021 – Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (NYSE: BVH; OTCQX: BVHBB) (“BVH”) and Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (NYSE: BXG) (“Bluegreen”) announced today that BVH has consummated its acquisition of all of the approximately 7% of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen’s Common Stock not previously beneficially owned by BVH pursuant to a statutory, short-form merger under Florida law effected on May 5, 2021. As a result of the merger, Bluegreen has become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BVH, and Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than BVH) are entitled to receive 0.51 shares of BVH’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Bluegreen’s Common Stock that they held at the effective time of the merger. Pursuant to the plan of merger, any fractional share of BVH’s Class A Common Stock otherwise resulting from the application of the exchange ratio in the merger will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. As a result of the closing of the merger, Bluegreen’s Common Stock will be suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the opening of trading on May 6, 2021 and will no longer be publicly traded.
“As of the close of business today, BVH will own 100% of Bluegreen and BVH will be a ‘pure play’ company in the timeshare space,” commented Alan B. Levan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation. “We believe that going forward this will end confusion in the market as BVH’s results will now reflect 100% of Bluegreen’s results and will address the inefficiencies of two public companies.”
In connection with the merger, BVH’s June 2020 Rights Agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent, was amended to expire upon consummation of the merger. As a result, the preferred share purchase rights previously issued under the Rights Agreement have become null and void, and no preferred share purchase rights will be attached to, or otherwise accompany, the shares of BVH’s Class A Common Stock to be issued in the merger. BVH is taking steps under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to de-register the preferred share purchase rights issued under the Rights Agreement and to delist those preferred share purchase rights from the NYSE. These actions to de-register and delist the preferred share purchase rights are simply administrative in nature and will have no effect on BVH’s Class
A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, which will continue to trade on the NYSE and the OTCQX, respectively, and remain registered under the Exchange Act.
