BLUEGREEN CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RIGHTS OFFERING

 

Boca Raton, Fla. -- February 14, 2008 -- Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG), a leading provider of Colorful Places to Live and Play®, today announced that it intends to pursue a rights offering to its shareholders of up to $100 million of its common stock. Bluegreen intends to file a registration statement relating to the rights offering in March. While Bluegreen had $125.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2007, the purpose of the rights offering is to further strengthen Bluegreen’s balance sheet in light of its $55 million of senior secured notes maturing in April 2008 and to support growth, including growth through strategic acquisitions, all with a view to maximizing shareholder value.

 

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the effectiveness of a registration statement nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state.
