Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On March 17, 2015, BFC Financial Corporation (the “Company”) announced its intention to commence a cash tender offer to the shareholders of BBX Capital Corporation (“BBX Capital”) to purchase up to 4,771,221 shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $20.00 per share. The Company currently owns approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock and all of the issued and outstanding shares of BBX Capital’s Class B Common Stock. Collectively, these shares represent an approximately 51% equity interest and 74% voting interest in BBX Capital. The Company will seek to purchase in the tender offer an additional approximately 30% of BBX Capital’s issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock. If all such shares are purchased by the Company in the tender offer, the Company would own approximately 81% of the issued and outstanding shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock following the tender offer, which together with the shares of BBX Capital’s Class B Common Stock owned by the Company, would represent an approximately 81% equity interest and 90% voting interest in BBX Capital.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing its intention to commence the tender offer is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
