Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 18, 2013, Blue Ridge Real Estate Company (Blue Ridge) and Big Boulder Corporation (Big Boulder and together with Blue Ridge, the Companies) held a Special Meeting of Shareholders on October 18, 2013 at which the shareholders of the Companies approved and adopted the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 29, 2013 (the Merger Agreement), by and between Blue Ridge and Big Boulder.    

On October 21, 2013, the Companies filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, pursuant to which Big Boulder merged with and into Blue Ridge effective as of 11:59 PM on October 31, 2013, with Blue Ridge continuing as the surviving corporation (the Merger).  As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Big Boulder ceased.

Under the Merger Agreement:

·

at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding common share of Big Boulder, whether represented by a joint unit certificate which represents a combination of an equal number of Blue Ridge common shares and one Big Boulder common shares (the Unit Certificate), or a standalone Big Boulder share certificate, was canceled and converted automatically solely into the right to receive one post-merger Blue Ridge common share;


·

at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding common share of Blue Ridge, whether represented by a Unit Certificate or a standalone Blue Ridge share certificate was canceled and converted automatically solely into the right to receive one post-merger Blue Ridge common share;


·

at the effective time of the Merger, Blue Ridge adopted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation which set forth, among other things, that the number of authorized shares of common stock of Blue Ridge increased to 6,000,000, that the shares of Blue Ridge will be uncertificated, and that immediately after the Merger effective time, every two outstanding post-merger Blue Ridge common shares were combined into and automatically became one post-merger Blue Ridge common share (the Reverse Stock Split);


·

at the effective time of the Merger, Blue Ridge adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws which include, among other things, an amendment to reflect the termination of the Security Combination Agreement between Big Boulder and Blue Ridge dated September 20, 1966 and other requirements of Pennsylvania law; and


·

Immediately following the effective time of the Merger, the Reverse Stock Split was effected in accordance with the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.


The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Companies on August 30, 2013.
