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

 

BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”) and BBX Capital Corporation (“BBX Capital”) directly own 54% and 46% of Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), respectively.  Woodbridge owns 100% of Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”). In addition, BFC owns shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing an approximately 81% ownership interest in BBX Capital.

 

On June 25, 2015 Bluegreen amended both its timeshare receivables hypothecation and term loan facilities with Pacific Western Bank (as successor-by-merger to CapitalSource Bank). 

 

The timeshare receivables hypothecation facility (the “Hypothecation Facility”) provides for advances on eligible receivables pledged under the facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period.   On June 25, 2015 the Hypothecation Facility was amended to extend the revolving advance period and the maturity date, increase the advance rate for certain eligible receivables, and reduce the interest rate on portions of certain future borrowings.  Maximum outstanding borrowings under the Hypothecation Facility and the Term Loan (as defined below) are $40.0 million, subject to eligible collateral and customary terms and conditions. As of May 31, 2015, approximately $22.6 million was outstanding under the Hypothecation Facility and approximately $2.5 million was outstanding under the Term Loan.  See below for further discussion regarding the increase in the Term Loan.  Pursuant to the terms of the amendment to the Hypothecation Facility, the revolving advance period expiration date was extended from September 2016 to September 2018, subject to an additional 12 month extension at the option of Pacific Western Bank. Eligible “A” receivables that meet certain eligibility and FICO® score requirements, which Bluegreen’s management believes are typically consistent with loans originated under Bluegreen’s current credit underwriting standards, will continue to be subject to an 85% advance rate. The Hypothecation Facility also allows for certain eligible “B” receivables (which have less stringent FICO® score requirements) to be funded at a 53% advance rate as a result of the amendment, compared to a 45% advance rate prior to the amendment. Borrowings under the Hypothecation Facility will continue to accrue interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 4.50%, except that, pursuant to the amendment, the interest rate on the portion of certain future borrowings under the Hypothecation Facility, to the extent in excess of certain established debt minimums, was reduced to 30-day LIBOR plus 4.00%.  Principal repayments and interest on borrowings under the Hypothecation Facility are paid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, subject to future required decreases in the advance rates after the end of the revolving advance period, with the remaining outstanding balance maturing in September 2021, subject to an additional 12 month extension at the option of Pacific Western Bank. Prior to the amendment, the Hypothecation Facility was scheduled to mature in September 2019.

 

The term loan is a non-revolving term loan with Pacific Western Bank secured by unsold inventory and undeveloped land at the Bluegreen Odyssey Dells Resort (the “Term Loan”). On June 25, 2015 the Term Loan was amended to increase its then outstanding balance from $2.4 million to $4.8 million, extend the maturity date from July 2016 to June 2019, and reduce the interest rate from 30-day LIBOR plus 5.75% to 30-day LIBOR plus 5.25%.  Interest payments are paid monthly. Principal payments are effected through release payments upon sales of the timeshare interests in the Bluegreen Odyssey Dells Resort that serve as collateral for the Term Loan, subject to mandatory principal reductions pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement. The Term Loan is cross-collateralized with the Hypothecation Facility described above.

 


 

The foregoing descriptions of the Term Loan and the Hypothecation Facility amendments are a summary only, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the amendments, which are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
