BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE:BXG) announced today that it has settled pending litigation with David A. Siegel, David A. Siegel Revocable Trust and Central Florida Investments over the acquisition by these shareholders of approximately 32% of the outstanding stock of Bluegreen. Central Florida Investments is the parent company of Westgate Resorts, a timeshare company that is a competitor of Bluegreen.

Under the terms of the settlement, the Siegel shareholders must reduce their holdings by at least 5.4 million shares within one year, and fully divest their holdings within two years. Pending their sale, all Bluegreen shares owned by the Siegel shareholders will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of Bluegreen's Board of Directors. The Siegel shareholders have also agreed not to pursue any takeover or other extraordinary transaction with the Company or to seek to control or influence Bluegreen's management.

The Company also amended its rights plan today, as agreed in the settlement. As amended, the rights plan will give the Siegel shareholders additional time to sell their shares, consistent with the schedule set by the settlement. If the Siegel shareholders comply with the schedule and all other terms of the settlement, the fact that they hold more than 15% of Bluegreen's common stock will not trigger the rights and the resulting dilution of the Siegel shareholders' holdings.
