Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 14, 2011, Bruce R. Berkowitz and Charles M. Fernandez, members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The St. Joe Company (“St. Joe”), informed the Board of their decision to resign as members of the Board, effective immediately. Messrs. Berkowitz and Fernandez tendered their resignation from the Board in an email to the Board dated February 14, 2011, a copy of which is attached as exhibit 17.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Following their joining the Board of St. Joe on January 1, 2011, Messrs. Berkowitz and Fernandez raised a number of matters regarding St. Joe's business strategy, management, corporate governance and compensation practices. Mr. Berkowitz discussed with management and the Board the level of St. Joe's spending, anticipated future losses, and whether the compensation structure properly aligns management's interests with those of the shareholders. Mr. Berkowitz also raised with the Board his views of St. Joe's corporate governance structure, including the composition of the Board and management. The Board's Governance and Nominating Committee agreed with Mr. Berkowitz that the addition of new, highly-qualified independent directors was desirable and in the best interests of St. Joe and its shareholders. However, the Committee did not agree with him as to the most appropriate way to effect changes to the Board or management, or that those changes needed to be put in place earlier than the anticipated date of mailing in March 2011 of St. Joe's proxy statement for its annual meeting of shareholders.

St. Joe has provided Messrs. Berkowitz and Fernandez a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Item 5.02 no later than the day of filing this Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). St. Joe has also provided Messrs. Berkowitz and Fernandez the opportunity to furnish St. Joe, as promptly as possible, a letter addressed to St. Joe stating whether they agree with the statements made by St. Joe in this Item 5.02, and, if not, stating the respects in which they do or do not agree. St. Joe will file any correspondence received from Messrs. Berkowitz and Fernandez by St. Joe with the SEC as an exhibit by an amendment to this Form 8-K within two business days after receipt by St. Joe.

Exhibit 17.1

Text of e-mail message sent to the St. Joe Board by Bruce Berkowitz and Charles Fernandez on February 14, 2011:

Directors of St. Joe:

The two of us have discussed the situation at St. Joe and its nominating and governance process. We will not stand for reelection except as part of a Board where a majority of the directors are committed to shareholder value, pay for performance, and effective corporate governance.

After working with the current Board over these past weeks, we have concluded that the current Board is not in a position to propose such a slate of directors.

Accordingly, we withdraw our names from consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee for election at the Annual General Meeting, and we resign from the Board of St. Joe effective immediately.

Bruce & Charlie
