On January 11, 2005, Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. (BVU), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluegreen Corporation (the Registrant and together with BVU, the Company), entered into a $50 million revolving credit facility (the Facility) with Resort Finance, LLC (RFL). The Registrant is the guarantor on the Facility. The Company will use the proceeds from the Facility to finance the acquisition and development of vacation ownership resorts. The Facility is secured by 1) a first mortgage and lien on all assets purchased with the Facility; 2) a first assignment of all construction contracts, related documents, building permits and completion bond; 3) a negative pledge of BVU's, the Registrant's and any affiliates' interest in any management, marketing, maintenance or service contracts; and 4) a first assignment of all operating agreements, rents and other revenues at the vacation ownership resorts which serve as collateral for the Facility, subject to any requirements of the respective property owners' associations. Borrowings under the Facility can be made through January 10, 2007. Principal payments will be effected through agreed-upon release prices paid to RFL as vacation ownership interests in the resorts that serve as collateral for the Facility are sold. The outstanding principal balance of any borrowings under the Facility must be repaid by January 10, 2008. The interest charged on outstanding borrowings will be the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.90%, subject to a 6.90% floor, and will be payable monthly. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee equal to 1.00% of the $50 million Facility amount, which will be paid at the time of each borrowing under the Facility as 1.00% of each borrowing with the balance being paid on the unutilized Facility amount on January 10, 2007. In addition, the Company is required to pay a program fee equal to 0.125% of the $50 million Facility amount per annum, payable monthly.
The Facility documents include customary conditions to funding, acceleration provisions and certain financial affirmative and negative covenants.
On January 11, 2005, the Company borrowed $9.5 million under the Facility in connection with the acquisition of the Daytona Surfside Inn & Suites resort in Daytona Beach, Florida (the Daytona Resort). The total commitment under the Facility for the Daytona Resort is $14.7 million, the $5.2 million balance of which will be borrowed during 2005 to fund refurbishment of the Daytona Resort. daytona.beach.the-hotels.com |
