Item 1. Description of Securities to be Registered.
     Reference is hereby made to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed by Bluegreen Corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2006, relating to the Rights Agreement by and between the Company and Mellon Shareholder Services LLC, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”), dated as of July 27, 2006 (the “Rights Agreement”). Such Registration Statement on Form 8-A is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
     On October 16, 2006, in connection with the settlement of litigation between the Company, as plaintiff, David A. Siegel, David A. Siegel Revocable Trust, and Central Florida Investments, as defendants (collectively, the “Siegel Shareholders”), and the directors of the Company, as counter-defendants, the Company and the Rights Agent executed an amendment to the Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Rights Agreement previously provided that after any person, including any affiliates of such person, acquires more than 15% of the outstanding common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) due to the exercise by third parties of contractual rights existing as of July 27, 2006, such person may avoid becoming an Acquiring Person, as defined in the Rights Agreement, by reducing their holdings below the 15% threshold as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 60 days. The Amendment provides that in the case of the Siegel Shareholders, this 60-day deadline will be extended to October 16, 2007 with respect to the divestiture of 5,383,554 shares of Common Stock, and to October 16, 2008 with respect to Siegel Shareholders’ remaining shares of Common Stock. However, if the Siegel Shareholders breach any provision of the stipulation dated October 16, 2006 entered into in connection with the settlement, the Company’s Board of Directors may terminate the extension immediately. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement and the Amendment, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 99.1, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
