The 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of BFC Financial Corporation (the “Company”) was held on May 23, 2016.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the election of each of the nine director nominees and approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s “named executive officers” for 2015.
