Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On May 4, 2012, Bluegreen Corporation (the “Company”) completed the sale to Southstar Development Partners, Inc. (“Southstar”) of substantially all of the assets comprising the Company’s Bluegreen Communities business pursuant to the previously disclosed Purchase and Sale Agreement, as amended (the “Agreement”), between seven of the Company’s subsidiaries and Southstar. Under the terms of the Agreement, Southstar paid $29.0 million in cash for the assets, inclusive of previously paid deposits totaling $4.5 million. Southstar has also agreed to pay an amount equal to 20% of the net proceeds (as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement) that Southstar receives upon its sale, if any, of two specified parcels of real estate purchased by Southstar under the Agreement.

 

Assets excluded from the sale primarily included the Company’s notes receivable portfolio related to Bluegreen Communities. The Company’s subsidiaries will generally remain responsible for commitments and liabilities relating to previously completed developments and assets not sold to Southstar as well as liabilities not assumed by Southstar under the Agreement, including those related to Bluegreen Communities’ operations prior to the closing of the transaction.

 

J. Larry Rutherford, who served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors until April 30, 2011, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Southstar.

 

On May 4, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the consummation of the transaction. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

 

Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

 

As previously disclosed, certain of the assets which were sold to Southstar under the Agreement served as collateral under the Company’s H4BG Communities Facility. Under the terms of the H4BG Communities Facility, the entire amount of the debt outstanding under the facility, which was approximately $20.2 million in principal amount as of May 4, 2012, accelerated and became immediately due upon the closing of the transaction. On May 4, 2012, the Company satisfied this obligation in full, together with accrued interest and the $2.0 million deferred fee required under the terms of the facility, with the proceeds it received in the transaction.
