On February 28, and March 1, 2007, two identical complaints were filed in the 17
th
Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida against the Company, Levitt Corporation
(Levitt) and the members of Levitts Board of Directors in (i)
Samuel Flamholz, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, v. James Blosser, Darwin Dornbush, Alan B. Levan,
William Scherer, S. Lawrence Kahn, III, Joel Levy, John E. Abdo, William Nicholson, Alan J. Levy,
Levitt Corporation, and BFC Financial Corp.
and (ii)
Elaine Mount, on behalf of herself and all
others similarly situated, v. James Blosser, Darwin Dornbush, Alan B. Levan, William Scherer, S.
Lawrence Kahn, III, Joel Levy, John E. Abdo, William Nicholson, Alan J. Levy, Levitt Corporation,
and BFC Financial Corp.
, respectively. Each complaint relates to the previously reported
definitive merger agreement entered into by the Company and Levitt, pursuant to which Levitt would,
if the merger is consummated, become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The complaints
allege that the members of Levitts Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duty to Levitts
minority shareholders by approving the merger agreement with the Company. The plaintiffs apparently are incorrectly suggesting
that the Company controls the outcome of the vote of Levitts shareholders with respect to the
merger agreement. However, the merger will be consummated only if, as required by Florida law, it
is approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Levitts Class A Common Stock
(of which the Company holds only approximately 11%) and, as required by the terms of the merger
agreement, it is approved by the holders of a majority of Levitts Class A Common Stock voted at
the meeting without counting the shares of Levitts Class A Common Stock voted by the Company. In
both complaints, the plaintiffs seek to enjoin the merger or, if it
is completed, to rescind it. The Company believes the lawsuits are without merit.
