Explanation of Responses: |
1. On September 21, 2009, Seth M. Wise, who previously served as President of Woodbridge Holdings Corporation, was appointed to serve as a director and as Executive Vice President of BFC in connection with the merger of Woodbridge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC. On September 23, 2009, Mr. Wise filed a Form 3 reporting his ownership of BFC's common stock at the time of such appointment, including the 3,620 shares of BFC's Class A Common Stock he received in the merger in exchange for his shares of Woodbridge's Class A Common Stock. The previously filed Form 3, however, inadvertently (a) omitted 247 shares of BFC's Class A Common Stock held in an IRA of Mr. Wise's spouse and (b) characterized 62 shares of BFC's Class A Common Stock held by Mr. Wise in a 401(k) plan as being held directly. Accordingly, Mr. Wise is filing this amendment to correct the information included in the previously filed Form 3 relating to his ownership of BFC's Class A Common Stock. |
