Item 1. Description of Registrant’s 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 amendments thereto filed on October 18, 2006 and May 24, 2007, 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 and further amended as of May 21, 2007 (as so amended, the “Rights Agreement”). Such Registration Statement on Form 8-A, as amended, is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
     The Company and the Rights Agent have executed a Third Amendment to the Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Rights Agreement previously provided that three shareholders of the Company, David A. Siegel, David A. Siegel Revocable Trust and Central Florida Investments, Inc. (together, the “Siegel Shareholders”), could avoid becoming Acquiring Persons by divesting shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) beneficially owned by them by the following deadlines: (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 Amendment extends the first of these deadlines from October 16, 2007 to April 16, 2007. The Amendment has no impact on the second or third of these deadlines or the number of shares of Common Stock required to be sold by the Siegel Shareholders.
     The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Initial Rights Agreement, the first and second amendments thereto, and the Amendment, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
