SECTION 13E-3 TRANSACTION STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION

     This Amendment No. 5 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 relates to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 27, 2002 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Levy Acquisition Co., a Florida corporation (“Levy Acquisition”), and Oriole Homes Corp., a Florida corporation (“OHC”), pursuant to which Levy Acquisition will merge into OHC (the “Merger”). This Amendment is being filed by: (1) OHC, the issuer of the equity securities that are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction described herein, (2) Levy Acquisition; and (3) the Levy Group, comprised of Richard D. Levy, individually and as personal representative for the Estate of Beatrice Levy, Harry A. Levy, Davida Levy, Mark A. Levy, Jo Ann M. Levy, Jo Ann Levy, Daniel H. Levy, Allison Sacks, Joel M. Levy, Robert A. Levy, David J. Levy, Elka N. Lampert Irrevocable Trust, Avraham R. Lampert Irrevocable Trust, Harry A. Levy Grandchildren’s Trust, Richard D. Levy Grandchildren’s Trust, Hapco Company, Levor Associates, and Grandco Associates.

     The purpose of this final amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 is to report the results of the Rule 13e-3 transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to supplement Item 10 hereof with information regarding certain loan transactions entered into by OHC.

     At an annual meeting of the shareholders of OHC held on February 6, 2003 (the “Annual Meeting”), at which a quorum was present, the Merger Agreement and the Merger were approved by (1) approximately 94% of the issued and outstanding shares of OHC Class A Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share, and approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of OHC Class B Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (collectively, the “Common Stock”), and (2) approximately 64% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock not held by Levy Acquisition and the Levy Group.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than any outstanding share of Common Stock beneficially owned by Levy Acquisition and the Levy Group) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $4.90 in cash. Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Levy Acquisition and the Levy Group were cancelled. As a result of the Merger, OHC is a privately held corporation, 100% of which is beneficially owned by Levy Acquisition and the Levy Group.

     On February 10, 2003, OHC filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) terminating the registration of its Common Stock under the Exchange Act. The American Stock Exchange delisted the Common Stock at the close of the market on February 10, 2003.
