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, and the amendment thereto filed on October 18, 2006, in each case 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 “Initial Rights Agreement”), and amended as of October 16, 2006 (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). Such Registration Statement on Form 8-A, as amended, is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
     The Company and Rights Agent have executed a second amendment to the Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Rights Agreement previously provided that, subject to certain exceptions, the beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common stock, par value $.01, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), would cause the acquiror of such Common Stock to become an Acquiring Person, as defined in the Rights Agreement. The Amendment reduces this 15% threshold to 10%.
     The Rights Agreement also previously provided that three shareholders of the Company, David A. Siegel, David A. Siegel Revocable Trust, and Central Florida Investments (together, the “Siegel Shareholders”) could avoid becoming Acquiring Persons by divesting a specified portion of their Common Stock by October 16, 2007, and all of their Common Stock by October 16, 2008. The Amendment provides that these deadlines be extended to (1) October 16, 2007, with respect to the sale (after October 16, 2006) of 1,112,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Siegel Shareholders, (2) October 16, 2008, with respect to the sale (after October 16, 2007) of 4,260,198 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Siegel Shareholders, and (3) October 16, 2009, with respect to the sale (after October 16, 2008) of all of the remaining shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Siegel Shareholders.
     The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Initial Rights Agreement, the first amendment thereto, and the Amendment, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 99.1, and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
