Jacksonville, Florida - December 30, 2014 - FRP Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRPH)
announced today that its board of directors has unanimously approved the
strategic separation of its transportation business, known as Patriot
Transportation Holding, Inc. ("New Patriot") from its real estate business.
FRPH's real estate business will continue under the name FRP Holdings, Inc.

FRPH's Board of Directors approved a dividend of New Patriot common stock on
January 31, 2015, the "distribution date," to FRPH common shareholders of
record as of the close of business on January 9, 2015, the "record date."
On the distribution date, FRPH shareholders will receive one share of
New Patriot common stock for every three shares of FRPH common stock held by
them on the record date. Shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional
shares of New Patriot common stock.

After the distribution, New Patriot will be an independent company, and FRPH
will retain no ownership interest. New Patriot has received approval for the
listing of its common stock on NASDAQ and will begin trading under the symbol
"PATI" on February 2, 2015.

Prior to the distribution date, FRPH and New Patriot will enter into a
separation and distribution agreement and various other agreements related to
the spin-off and the post spin-off relationship of the two companies.

The distribution of New Patriot common stock is subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of certain conditions, all of which FRPH expects to be satisfied by
the distribution date. New Patriot's information statement on Form 10, as
amended, has been filed with the SEC and is available at sec.gov. A copy of
the information statement filed as part of the registration statement will be
mailed to shareholders shortly after the record date.

No action is required by FRPH shareholders to receive the New Patriot shares,
which will be distributed electronically in direct registration (book-entry)
form.

FRPH expects that a "when-issued" public trading market for New Patriot common
stock will commence on or about January 7, 2015 under the symbol "PATI", and
will continue through the distribution date. FRPH also anticipates that
"regular way" trading of New Patriot common stock will begin on February 2,
2015, the first trading day following the distribution date.

FRPH shares will continue to trade "regular way" through and after the
distribution date. FRPH expects "ex-distribution" trading to begin on
January 7, 2015 and to continue through the close of business on the
distribution date. FRPH shareholders as of the record date who sell those
shares ex-distribution will still receive the New Patriot shares to which
they are entitled.

Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough is acting as legal advisor for the
transaction.
