Item 8.01

Other Events. 

On September 24, 2015, BBX Capital Corporation (the "Company") and BFC Financial Corporation ("BFC"), the Company's controlling shareholder, issued a joint press release in response to the order entered in the case captioned Securities and Exchange Commission v. BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Alan B. Levan.  Pursuant to the order, the court denied the Securities and Exchange Commission's request for a permanent bar from Mr. Levan serving as an officer or director of any public company, but instead ordered Mr. Levan barred from serving as an officer or director of any public company for a period of two years commencing 90 days after the order is executed. The court also imposed monetary penalties against the Company in the amount of $4,550,000 and monetary penalties against Mr. Levan in the amount of $1,300,000. As a result of the court's decision, Mr. Levan will, unless the order is stayed by the appellate court, resign as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BFC, and as a director of the Company and BFC upon the commencement of the bar. Mr. Levan has been the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since 1994 and the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BFC since 1978. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
