Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

As previously disclosed, BFC Financial Corporation (the “Company”) holds a 54% equity interest in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), which owns 100% of Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”). BBX Capital Corporation (“BBX Capital”), in which the Company holds an approximately 51% equity interest, holds the remaining 46% equity interest in Woodbridge.

 

On January 29, 2015, Bluegreen completed a private offering and sale of approximately $117.8 million of investment-grade, timeshare receivable-backed notes (the "2015-A Term Securitization"). The 2015-A Term Securitization consisted of the issuance of two tranches of timeshare receivable-backed notes (the “Notes”): approximately $89.4 million of Class A and approximately $28.4 million of Class B notes with note interest rates of 2.88% and 3.47%, respectively, which blended to an overall weighted average note interest rate of approximately 3.02%. The gross advance rate for this transaction was 94.25%. The Notes mature in May 2030. BB&T Capital Markets (“BB&TCM”) acted as the structuring agent, joint bookrunner and co-lead manager and Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) acted as joint bookrunner and co-lead manager. Both BB&TCM and Barclays acted as initial purchasers.

 

The amount of the timeshare receivables sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2015-A (the “Trust”) was approximately $125.0 million, approximately $100.2 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and approximately $24.8 million of which is expected to be sold to the Trust by May 29, 2015. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust are anticipated to be approximately $117.8 million. A portion of the proceeds received to date were used to: repay Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”) and DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main (“DZ Bank”) a total of approximately $42.3 million, representing all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) under Bluegreen's existing purchase facility with BB&T and DZ (the "BB&T/DZ Purchase Facility"); repay Liberty Bank approximately $22.6 million under Bluegreen's existing facility with Liberty Bank (the “Liberty Bank Facility”); capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. Prior to the closing of the 2015-A Term Securitization, Bluegreen, as servicer, funded approximately $9.5 million in connection with the servicer redemption of the notes related to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2006-B, and certain of the timeshare loans in such trust were sold to the Trust in connection with the 2015-A Term Securitization. The remainder of the gross proceeds from the 2015-A Term Securitization of approximately $40 million, of which approximately $23.4 million will be received by Bluegreen as the aforementioned approximately $24.8 million of timeshare receivables are sold to the Trust, are expected to be used by Bluegreen for general corporate purposes. As a result of the facility repayments described above, immediately after the closing of the 2015-A Term Securitization, (i) there were no amounts outstanding under the BB&T/DZ Purchase Facility, which allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $80.0 million on a revolving basis through December 31, 2015 and (ii) there was approximately $16.1 million outstanding under the Liberty Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $50.0 million on a revolving basis through November 30, 2015 subject to eligible collateral and the other terms and conditions of the facility. Thus, additional availability of approximately $64.4 million in the aggregate was created under the BB&T/DZ Purchase Facility and Liberty Bank Facility.

 

While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in the 2015-A Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as


 

a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of this transaction.

 

The Notes were offered and sold to the initial purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were subsequently offered and sold by the initial purchasers only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and, outside the United States, only to non-US investors pursuant to Regulation S. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered (which is not expected), the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

The description of the 2015-A Term Securitization set forth above is a summary only, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements and instruments governing the transaction, which are included as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.5 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
