On April 2, 2015, in connection with the commencement by BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”) of its tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to acquire up to 4,771,221outstanding shares of BBX Capital Corporation’s (the “Company”) Class A common stock (including the associated preferred share purchase rights) (“Class A Common Stock”), the Board of Directors of the Company caused the Company to enter into, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), as rights agent, an Amendment No. 2 (the “Rights Amendment”) to that certain Rights Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2013 and as amended, between the Company and AST (the “Rights Agreement”).

The effect of the Rights Amendment is to permit the Tender Offer to occur without triggering any distribution or other event under the Rights Agreement. In particular, (i) the Rights Agreement shall be inapplicable to the Tender Offer and the purchase of shares contemplated thereby, (ii) neither BFC nor any of its affiliates will be an Acquiring Person (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) pursuant to the Rights Agreement as a result of the announcement, commencement, extension or the acquisition of shares of the Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, (iii) a Distribution Date and a Stock Acquisition Date (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement) will not occur as a result of the announcement, commencement, extension or the acquisition of shares of the Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and (iv) the Rights will neither separate from the certificates representing shares of common stock of the Company nor be adjusted or become exercisable as a result of the announcement, commencement, extension or the acquisition of shares of the Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

The description of the Rights Amendment set forth in this Item 3.03 is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Rights Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Rights Agreement was previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 7, 2013 and Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 13, 2013.
