PROXY STATEMENT

The Board of Directors of BBX Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is soliciting proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at the Bank of America Building, Community Room (Main Floor), 401 East Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301, on May 23, 2016 at 11:30 a.m., local time, and at any and all postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice of Meeting and proxy card are first being mailed to shareholders on or about April 25, 2016.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS
AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and (i) vote upon the election of seven directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, (ii) vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (as hereinafter defined), as disclosed in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Executive Compensation” (the “Say on Pay Proposal”), and (iii) approve an amendment to the BBX Capital Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Stock Plan”), to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock available for grant under the plan from 1,000,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares (the “Stock Plan Amendment”). In addition, although the Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting, if any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon such matters. Also, management will be available to report on the Company’s performance during the year ended December 31, 2015 and respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

Record holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and record holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock as of the close of business on April 8, 2016 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on the Record Date, 16,199,145 shares of Class A Common Stock and 195,045 shares of Class B Common Stock were outstanding and, thus, will be eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What are the voting rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock?

Holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock will vote as one class on each of the election of directors, the Say on Pay Proposal and the proposal to approve the Stock Plan Amendment. Additionally, in most cases, holders of Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock will vote as one class on any other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter, with all holders of Class A Common Stock having in the aggregate 53% of the general voting power. The number of votes represented by each share of Class B Common Stock, which represents in the aggregate 47% of the general voting power, is calculated each year in accordance with the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation. At this year’s Annual Meeting, each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to 73.65 votes on each matter. BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”) is the sole holder of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of shares representing a majority of the aggregate voting power (as described above) of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock

outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date will constitute a quorum, permitting the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a “street name” holder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the Company’s stock transfer agent (“AST”), you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of the shares but not the shareholder of record, and your shares are held in “street name.”

How do I vote my shares?

If you are a shareholder of record, you can give a proxy to be voted at the Annual Meeting by mailing the enclosed proxy card or by transmitting your voting instructions by telephone or internet as described on the enclosed proxy card. You may also vote your shares at the Annual Meeting by completing a ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker, bank or other nominee. Your broker, bank or other nominee has enclosed or provided a voting card for you to use in providing your voting instructions.

Can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting by completing a ballot at the Annual Meeting. However, if you are a “street name” holder, you may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a signed proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote the shares.

Shareholders who wish to attend the Annual Meeting may contact the Company’s Investor Relations department at (954) 940-4000 for directions. Even if you currently plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you also submit your vote by proxy or by providing your voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

What are my choices when voting?

With respect to the election of directors, you may vote for all of the director nominees, or your vote may be withheld with respect to one or more of the director nominees. The proposal related to the election of directors is described in this Proxy Statement beginning on page 10.

In addition, you may vote for or against, or abstain from voting on, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers in connection with Say on Pay Proposal. The Say on Pay Proposal is described in this Proxy Statement on page 20.

Further, you may vote for or against, or abstain from voting on, the proposal to approve the Stock Plan Amendment. The proposal related to the Stock Plan Amendment is described in this Proxy Statement beginning on page 22.

What are the Board’s voting recommendations?

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares FOR ALL of the director nominees, FOR the approval of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers in connection with the Say on Pay Proposal, and FOR the approval of the Stock Plan Amendment.

What if I do not specify on my proxy card how I want my shares voted?

If you execute and mail in your proxy card but do not specify on your proxy card how you want to vote your shares, your shares will be voted FOR ALL of the director nominees, FOR the approval of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers in connection with the Say on Pay Proposal, and FOR the approval of the Stock

Plan Amendment. Although the Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting, if any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the individuals named in the enclosed proxy card (or their substitutes if they are unavailable) will vote the proxies in accordance with their judgment on those matters.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record owner of your shares, you can do this in one of three ways. First, you can send a signed written notice to the Company’s Secretary stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second, you can submit a new valid proxy bearing a later date or transmit new voting instructions by telephone or internet. Third, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. However, attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, in and of itself, constitute revocation of a previously executed proxy.

If you are not the record owner of your shares and your shares are held in “street name,” you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to find out how to change your vote.

What vote is required for a proposal to be approved?

With respect to the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as one class is required for a director nominee to be elected. A properly executed proxy marked to withhold a vote with respect to the election of one or more director nominees will not be voted with respect to the nominee or nominees indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum exists.

The compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers in connection with the Say on Pay Proposal will be approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, if the votes cast for the Say on Pay Proposal exceed the votes cast against the Say on Pay Proposal. Abstentions will not have any impact on the Say on Pay Proposal, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum exists. Provided a quorum exists, failures to vote will also not have any impact on the Say on Pay Proposal. The vote on the Say on Pay Proposal is advisory and will not be binding upon the Company, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.

In addition, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal to approve the Stock Plan Amendment will be required for approval of the Stock Plan Amendment. Since abstentions are treated for these purposes as votes cast on the proposal, abstentions will effectively count as votes against the Stock Plan Amendment.

If my shares are held in street name, will my broker, bank or other nominee vote my shares for me?

No. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, whether your broker, bank or other nominee may vote your shares in its discretion depends on the proposals before the Annual Meeting. The Company’s Class A Common Stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Under the rules of the NYSE, if you do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee with voting instructions with respect to your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may vote your shares in its discretion only on “routine matters.” None of the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting are “routine matters” under the rules of the NYSE. Accordingly, your broker, bank or other nominee will not have discretion to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting if you do not provide voting instructions.

What are broker non-votes?

When a broker, bank or other nominee has discretion to vote on one or more proposals at a meeting (“routine matters”) but does not have discretion to vote on other matters at the meeting (“non-routine matters”), the broker, bank or other nominee will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on the “non-routine matters” with respect to shares held for beneficial owners which did not provide voting instructions with respect to the “non-routine matters.” This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Because brokers, banks and other nominees will not have discretion to vote on any items of business at the Annual Meeting if they have not received voting instructions from their clients, there will not be broker non-votes on any matter presented at the Annual Meeting.

Are there any other matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting?

The Company does not know of any other matters to be presented or acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter is presented at the Annual Meeting on which a vote may properly be taken, the shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting those shares.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Company’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Directors are kept informed of the Company’s business through discussions with management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.

Determination of Director Independence

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that Norman H. Becker, Steven M. Coldren, Willis N. Holcombe, Anthony P. Segreto and Charlie C. Winningham, II, who together comprise a majority of the Board, are independent under applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the listing standards of the NYSE. The Board made such independence determinations based on a review of transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as transactions and relationships between each director or his affiliates and members of the Company’s senior management or their affiliates, including the transactions and relationships described below. To assist the Board in making its independence determinations, the Board adopted the following categorical standards of relationships that, in the Board’s opinion, do not constitute material relationships that impair a director’s independence: (i) serving on third party boards of directors with other members of the Board; (ii) payments or charitable gifts by the Company to entities with which a director is an executive officer or employee where such payments do not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of such entity’s consolidated gross revenues; and (iii) investments by directors in common with each other or the Company. In addition, with respect to Messrs. Becker and Coldren, the Board specifically discussed and considered the following relationships, each of which the Board determined did not constitute a material relationship that would impair the director’s independence:

Mr. Becker serves on the Board of Directors of Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”). Bluegreen is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), which is owned 46% by the Company and 54% by BFC, the Company’s controlling shareholder. In addition, Alan B. Levan, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was the Chairman of Bluegreen’s Board of Directors until December 2015. John E. Abdo, who served as Vice Chairman of Bluegreen’s Board of Directors at the time, was appointed to serve as Acting Chairman of Bluegreen’s Board of Directors upon Mr. Levan’s resignation from such position. Mr. Abdo is the Vice Chairman of the Company.

Mr. Coldren is the President of Business Information Systems, Inc., a company which currently leases (and, since 1985, has leased) office space from Abdo Companies, Inc. for approximately $84,000 per year, which was reported to the Board to approximate the market rate. Mr. Abdo is the President of Abdo Companies, Inc.

Committees of the Board of Directors and Meeting Attendance

The Company’s Board of Directors has established Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees. The Board has adopted a written charter for each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees as well as Corporate Governance Guidelines that address the make-up and functioning of the Board. The Board has also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s directors, officers and employees. The committee charters, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are posted in the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website at www.bbxcapital.com , and each is available in print without charge to any shareholder.

The Board of Directors met seventeen times during 2015. Each member of the Board attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which he served during 2015. The Company has no formal policy requiring directors to attend the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders. Four of the Company’s then-serving directors attended the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of Norman H. Becker, Chairman, Steven M. Coldren and Willis N. Holcombe. Mr. Holcombe was appointed to the Audit Committee during December 2015 to replace Bruno L. Di

Giulian, a former director of the Company and member of the Audit Committee, who passed away during December 2015. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “financially literate” and “independent” under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the NYSE. The Board also determined that Mr. Becker is qualified as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, and has “accounting and related financial management expertise” within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE. The Audit Committee met twelve times during 2015.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Company’s independent auditor. Additionally, the Audit Committee assists Board oversight of: (i) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements; (ii) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the qualifications, performance and independence of the Company’s independent auditor; and (iv) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function. In connection with these oversight functions, the Audit Committee receives reports from the Company’s internal audit group, periodically meets with management and the Company’s independent auditor to receive information concerning internal control over financial reporting and any deficiencies in such control, and has adopted a complaint monitoring procedure that enables confidential and anonymous reporting to the Audit Committee of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. A report from the Audit Committee is included in this Proxy Statement on page 29.

The Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of Steven M. Coldren, Chairman, Willis N. Holcombe and Charlie C. Winningham, II. The Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE, including the additional independence requirements set forth therein pertaining to Compensation Committee members, and each is a “Non-Employee Director,” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and an “outside director,” as defined for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Compensation Committee met seven times during 2015.

The Compensation Committee provides assistance to the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers. It reviews and determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and determines or makes recommendations with respect to the compensation of the Company’s other executive officers. It also administers the Company’s equity-based compensation plans. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to retain consultants to assist the Compensation Committee in its evaluation of executive compensation, as well as the sole authority to approve any such consultant’s fees and retention terms.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to its chief executive officer and other employees (other than its chief financial officer) whose compensation is required to be reported to shareholders under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder. However, the statute exempts qualifying “performance-based compensation” from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Compensation Committee believes that it is generally in the Company’s best interest to attempt to structure performance-based compensation, including stock options, performance-based restricted stock awards and annual bonuses, to executive officers who may be subject to Section 162(m) in a manner that satisfies the statute’s requirements. However, the Compensation Committee also recognizes the need to retain flexibility to make compensation decisions that may not meet Section 162(m) standards to assist the Company in its efforts to meet its overall objectives, even if the Company may not deduct all of the compensation. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee has approved, and may in the future approve, compensation arrangements for the Company’s executive officers that are not fully deductible. The compensation paid by the Company to its executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2015 does not constitute “performance-based compensation” exempt from the $1,000,000 deduction limit of Section 162(m).

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee consists of Steven M. Coldren, Chairman, Anthony P. Segreto and Charlie C. Winningham, II. Mr. Segreto was appointed to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee during December 2015 to replace Bruno L. Di Giulian, who, as previously described, passed away during December 2015. The Board has determined that each member of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee met three times during 2015.

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for: (i) assisting the Board of Directors in identifying individuals qualified to become directors; (ii) making recommendations of candidates for directorships; (iii) developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles for the Company; (iv) overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management; (v) overseeing the selection, composition and evaluation of Board committees; and (vi) overseeing the management continuity and succession planning process.

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee reviews, following the end of the Company’s fiscal year, the composition of the Board of Directors and the ability of its current members to continue effectively as directors for the upcoming fiscal year. In the ordinary course, absent special circumstances or a change in the criteria for Board membership, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will re-nominate incumbent directors who continue to be qualified for Board service and are willing to continue as directors. If the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee thinks it is in the Company’s best interest to nominate a new individual for director, or fill a vacancy on the Board which may exist from time to time, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will seek out potential candidates for Board appointments who meet the criteria for selection as a nominee and have the specific qualities or skills being sought as follows. Generally, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will identify candidates for directorships through the business and other organization networks of the directors and management. Candidates for director will be selected on the basis of the contributions the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee believes that those candidates can make to the Board and to management, and on such other qualifications and factors as the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee considers appropriate. Board candidates should have a reputation for honesty and integrity, strength of character, mature judgment and experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility. In addition to reviewing a candidate’s background and accomplishments, candidates for director are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board and the evolving needs of the Company. While the Board does not have a formal diversity policy and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee does not follow any ratio or formula with respect to diversity in order to determine the appropriate composition of the Board, the Board prefers a mix of background and experience among its members. Accordingly, pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, when assessing potential new directors, seeks individuals from diverse professional backgrounds who provide a broad range of skills, experience and expertise relevant to the Company’s business. The goal of this process is to assemble a group of Board members with deep, varied experience, sound judgment and commitment to the Company’s success. The Company also requires that its Board members be able to dedicate the time and resources sufficient to ensure the diligent performance of their duties on the Company’s behalf, including attending Board and applicable committee meetings. If the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to the Board, it will recommend the candidate’s election to the full Board.

Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, nominations for directors may be made only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or by a shareholder entitled to vote who delivers written notice (along with certain additional information specified in the Bylaws) not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders. However, if the date of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders changes by more than 30 days from the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders, written notice of a director nomination must be received by the Company within ten days after the Company first mails notice of or publicly discloses the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. For the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company must receive shareholder notice of a director nomination (i) between January 23, 2017 and February 22, 2017 or (ii) if the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is held more than 30 days before or after May 23, 2017, within ten days after the Company first mails notice of or publicly discloses the date of the meeting.

Leadership Structure

The business of the Company is managed under the direction of the Board, which is elected by the Company’s shareholders. The basic responsibility of the Board is to lead the Company by exercising its business judgment to act in what each director believes to be the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for a combined position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company believes that the combination of these two positions has been an appropriate and suitable structure for the Board’s function and efficiency, as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer serves as the direct link between senior management and the Board.

Alan B. Levan held the dual position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer from 1994 until his resignation from such positions on December 22, 2015. In connection with Mr. Alan Levan’s resignation, Jarett S. Levan, President of the Company and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, was appointed by the Board

of Directors to serve as the Company’s Acting Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Alan Levan remains with the Company in the role of Founder and focuses on strategic planning as a non-executive advisor to management and the Board of Directors. Mr. Jarett Levan is the son of Mr. Alan Levan.

Risk Oversight

The Board is responsible for overseeing management and the business and affairs of the Company, which includes the oversight of risk. In exercising its oversight, the Board has allocated some areas of focus to its committees and has retained areas of focus for itself. Pursuant to its charter and the rules of the NYSE, the Audit Committee is responsible for efforts to assure that the Board is provided the information and resources to assess management’s handling of the Company’s approach to risk management. The Audit Committee also has oversight responsibility for the Company’s financial risk (such as accounting, finance, internal control and tax strategy), and the Audit Committee or the full Board receives and reviews, as appropriate, the reports of the Company’s internal audit group regarding the results of its annual Company-wide risk assessment and internal audit plan. Reports of all internal audits are provided to the Audit Committee. The Compensation Committee oversees compliance with the Company’s executive compensation plans and related laws and policies. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee oversees compliance with governance-related laws and policies, including the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board as a whole has responsibility for overseeing management’s handling of the Company’s strategic and operational risks. Throughout the year, senior management reports to the Board the risks that it believes may be material to the Company, including those disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC. The goal of these processes is to achieve serious and thoughtful Board-level attention to the nature of the material risks faced by the Company and the adequacy of the Company’s risk management processes and systems. While the Board recognizes that the risks which the Company faces are not static, and that it is not possible to identify or mitigate all risk and uncertainty all of the time, the Board believes that the Company’s approach to managing its risks provides the Board with the proper foundation and oversight perspective with respect to management of the material risks facing the Company.

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

During 2015, the Company’s non-management directors met two times in executive sessions of the Board in which management directors and other members of management did not participate. Steven M. Coldren served as the presiding director for the executive sessions. The non-management directors have scheduled future meetings to be held at least annually, and may schedule additional meetings without management present as they determine.

Communications with the Board of Directors and Non-Management Directors

Interested parties who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors, any individual director or the non-management directors as a group can write to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices at 401 East Las Olas Boulevard, Suite 800, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301. If the person submitting the letter is a shareholder, the letter should include a statement indicating such. Depending on the subject matter, the Company will:

forward the letter to the director or directors to whom it is addressed;

attempt to handle the inquiry directly if it relates to routine or ministerial matters, including requests for information; or

not forward the letter if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it is determined to relate to an improper or irrelevant topic.

A member of management will, at each meeting of the Board, present a summary of all letters received since the last meeting that were not forwarded to the Board and will make those letters available to the Board upon request.

Code of Ethics

The Company has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.bbxcapital.com . The Company will post amendments to or waivers from its Code of Business Conduct and

Ethics (to the extent applicable to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer) on its website.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

BFC continues to hold the remaining 54% of Woodbridge’s outstanding equity interests. The Company’s investment in Woodbridge consisted of $60 million in cash and a promissory note in Woodbridge’s favor in the principal amount of $11.75 million. The promissory note had a term of five years, accrued interest at a rate of 5% per annum and provided for payments of interest only on a quarterly basis during the term of the promissory note, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term. During 2014 and 2015, the Company paid to Woodbridge a total of approximately $587,000 and $418,000 respectively, of interest on the note. The Company repaid the note in full during September 2015. In connection with the Company’s investment in Woodbridge, the Company and BFC entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Woodbridge, which sets forth the Company’s and BFC’s respective rights as members of Woodbridge and provides for, among other things, required unanimity on certain specified “major decisions” and for distributions from Woodbridge to be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Company’s and BFC’s respective percentage equity interests in Woodbridge.

On May 7, 2013, the Company and BFC entered into a merger agreement which provided for the Company to merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC.

While the merger was approved by the Company’s and BFC’s respective shareholders on April 29, 2014, consummation of the merger remained subject to certain closing conditions, including BFC’s Class A Common Stock being approved for listing on a national securities exchange at the effective time of the merger. On December 15, 2014, the Company and BFC mutually agreed to terminate the merger agreement as a result of the inability to satisfy the closing condition requiring the listing of BFC’s Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange.

On October 30, 2013, Renin Holdings LLC, a joint venture entity beneficially owned 81% by the Company and 19% by BFC, through newly formed acquisition subsidiaries (Renin Holdings LLC and its acquisition subsidiaries are referred to collectively as the “Renin Purchasers”), acquired substantially all of the assets of Renin Corp. and its subsidiaries, manufacturers of interior closet doors, wall décor, hardware and fabricated glass products, for approximately $12.8 million in cash, net of $1.7 million distributed to Renin Holdings, LLC during the first quarter of 2014 following the finalization of the working capital adjustment and indemnification obligations of Renin Corp. and its subsidiaries under the terms of the purchase agreement. Bluegreen funded approximately $9.4 million of the transaction consideration in a term loan and revolver facility to the Renin Purchasers. The balance of the transaction consideration was funded by the Company and BFC pro rata in accordance with their percentage equity interests in Renin Holdings LLC. The loan made by Bluegreen to the Renin Purchasers included a $3.0 million term loan and provided for additional borrowings of up to $9.0 million on a revolving basis, of which $10.5 million in the aggregate was borrowed by the Renin Purchasers. Amounts outstanding under the loan bore interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum and were collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Renin Purchasers. The loan was repaid in full during June 2014 with the proceeds of an approximately $8.0 million financing received by the Renin Purchasers and pro rata capital contributions to Renin Holdings LLC from the Company and BFC of $2.0 million and $0.5 million respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Renin Purchasers incurred approximately $0.3 million of interest expense relating to the loan from Bluegreen.

BFC provides risk management services to the Company. The Company reimburses BFC for these services based on cost, which was approximately $180,000 during 2015 and $185,000 during 2014.

Beginning in 2013, employees of the Company were provided health insurance under policies maintained by Bluegreen. The Company reimbursed Bluegreen at cost for this expense, which was approximately $1.2 million during 2015 and $524,000 during 2014. This arrangement was terminated in January 2016.

The Company has an agreement with BFC pursuant to which the Company provides office facilities to BFC at the Company’s and BFC’s principal executive offices.

returns. Pursuant to the Consolidated Tax Agreement, the parties calculate their respective income tax liabilities and attributes as if each of them were a separate filer. If any tax attributes are used by another party to the Consolidated Tax Agreement to offset its tax liability, the party providing the benefit will receive an amount for the tax benefits realized.

Under the employment agreements, which were entered into during September 2012, each Named Executive Officer receives an annual base salary and is entitled to receive bonus payments under bonus plans established from time to time by the Compensation Committee or otherwise at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Since entering into his employment agreement, Mr. Abdo has received an annual base salary of $750,000 from the Company. In addition, Mr. Alan Levan received an annual base salary of $750,000 from the Company until his resignation as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company during December 2015.

In connection with the change in his positions, Mr. Alan Levan’s annual base salary was reduced to $350,000. Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise each received an annual base salary of $375,000 from the Company until March 2015, when their respective annual base salaries were increased to $450,000.

The base salaries may not be decreased without the Named Executive Officer’s consent.

Under their respective employment agreements, each of Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo may receive an annual bonus (sometimes hereinafter referred to as an “Annual Bonus”) of up to 200% of his then-current annual base salary, and each of them received an Annual Bonus of $1,500,000 for 2014 and for 2015.

Each employment agreement may be terminated by the Company for “Cause” or “Without Cause” or by the Named Executive Officer for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement). If an employment agreement is terminated by the Company for “Cause,” the applicable Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive his base salary through the date of termination. If an employment agreement is terminated by the Company “Without Cause” or by the Named Executive Officer for “Good Reason,” the applicable executive officer will be entitled to receive (i) his base salary through the date of termination, (ii) the prorated portion of the Named Executive Officer’s Annual Bonus (based on the average Annual Bonus paid to him during the prior two fiscal years) through the date of termination and (iii) a severance payment as follows. Each of Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo will be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to 2 times the sum of his annual base salary and Annual Bonus opportunity at the date of termination (or 2.99 times the sum of his annual base salary and Annual Bonus opportunity at the date of termination if such termination occurs within two years after a “Change in Control” (as defined in the employment agreement)). Each of Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise will be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of his annual base salary and Annual Bonus opportunity at the date of termination (or 2 times the sum of his annual base salary and Annual Bonus opportunity at the date of termination if such termination occurs within two years after a “Change in Control”). In addition, if a Named Executive Officer’s employment agreement is terminated by the Company “Without Cause” or by the Named Executive Officer for “Good Reason,” all incentive stock options and restricted stock awards previously granted to the Named Executive Officer by the Company but not yet vested will immediately accelerate and fully vest as of the termination date, and the Company will be required to provide the Named Executive Officer with continued benefits, including, without limitation, health and life insurance, for the following periods: (i) two years following the year in which the termination occurs (or three years following the year in which the termination occurs, if such termination occurred within two years after a “Change in Control”), in the case of Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo, and (ii) eighteen months following the year in which the termination occurs (or two years following the year in which the termination occurs, if such termination occurred within two years after a “Change in Control”), in the case of each of Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise. Each employment agreement will also be terminated upon the Named Executive Officer’s death, in which case the applicable Named Executive Officer’s estate will be entitled to receive his base salary through the date of his death and the prorated portion of the Named Executive Officer’s Annual Bonus (based on the average Annual Bonus paid to him during the prior two fiscal years) through the date of his death.

Each Named Executive Officer also agreed in his respective employment agreement to enter into a non-disclosure, non-competition, confidentiality and non-solicitation of customers agreement with the Company on terms acceptable to both the Named Executive Officer and the Company. Entry into such agreement is a condition to the Company’s obligation to make and provide the post-termination payments and benefits described in the preceding paragraph.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 - NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON

NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION (SAY ON PAY)

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company’s shareholders will be asked at the Annual Meeting to vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Say on Pay Proposal”).

The vote on the Say on Pay Proposal gives the Company’s shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers. The vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. You are urged to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement above for details regarding the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers during 2015 and other information with respect to their compensation for services on behalf of the Company.

The Board believes that the Company’s compensation program for its executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, is appropriately based upon the Company’s performance, the performance and level of responsibility of the executive officer and the market generally with respect to executive officer compensation. The Board also believes that the Company’s executive compensation program aligns the interests of the Company’s executive officers with those of the Company’s shareholders by compensating the executive officers in a manner designed to advance both the short-and long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. As a result, the Board recommends that the Company’s shareholders indicate their support for the compensation of the Named Executive Officers by approving the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers for 2015, as disclosed pursuant to SEC rules, including the compensation tables and related narrative disclosures included in this Proxy Statement, is hereby APPROVED.”

Shareholders may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or abstain from voting on the Say on Pay Proposal. The vote on the Say on Pay Proposal will be approved by the shareholders if the votes cast “FOR” the proposal exceed the votes cast “AGAINST” the proposal. Abstentions and failures to vote will not have any impact on the proposal.

The vote on the Say on Pay Proposal is advisory only and will not be binding upon the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board and Compensation Committee appreciate the opinions that the Company’s shareholders express in their votes and will consider the outcome of the vote in connection with future executive compensation arrangements.

The Board of Directors Unanimously Recommends that Shareholders

Vote “For” the Say on Pay Proposal.

Compensation of Directors

The Compensation Committee recommends director compensation to the Board based on factors it considers appropriate and based on the recommendations of management. Each non-employee director currently receives $70,000 annually for his service on the Board of Directors, payable in cash. Members of the Audit Committee currently receive an additional $4,000 per quarter for their service on that committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee currently receives an additional fee of $1,000 per quarter for service as Chairman. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee and the Chairman of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee currently receive annual cash fees of $3,500 for his service on Chairman of such committee. Other than the Chairman, members of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee do not currently receive additional compensation for their service on those committees. From time to time, the Board may establish special committees of the Board and approve compensation for service on such special committees. During 2015, the Board established a special committee in connection with BFC’s cash tender offer to purchase 4,771,221 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock which was completed during April 2015. Directors Bruno L. Di Giulian, Steven M. Coldren, Willis N. Holcombe, Anthony P. Segreto and Charlie C. Winningham, II were appointed to serve on the special committee. Mr. Di Giulian received a cash fee of $10,000 for his service as Chairman of the special committee. Each other member of the special committee received a cash fee of $5,000 for his service. Directors who are also officers of the Company or its subsidiaries did not receive additional compensation for their service as directors during 2015.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 – APPROVAL OF THE STOCK PLAN AMENDMENT

General Information

During April 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the BBX Capital Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), and at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting held during June 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the Stock Plan. The Stock Plan, as amended by the Company’s Board of Directors during March 2015, provides for the issuance of restricted stock awards of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, whether in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units, and for the grant of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

Description of Proposed Stock Plan Amendment; Reasons for the Stock Plan Amendment

The Stock Plan currently limits the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock available for grant under the Plan to 1,000,000 shares. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, restricted stock units of a total of 815,574 shares of Class A Common Stock have been granted under the Stock Plan. As a result, 184,426 shares of Class A Common Stock currently remain available for issuance pursuant to awards which may be granted under the Stock Plan. The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee have determined that the current number of shares available for grant under the Stock Plan does not afford the flexibility needed to provide sufficient equity-based incentive compensation. The Board of Directors believes that the ability to grant equity-based incentive compensation awards is an important component of its compensation program and enhances the relationship between employee performance and the creation of shareholder value. Accordingly, and based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors has approved, subject to shareholder approval, the Stock Plan Amendment, which would increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for grant under the Stock Plan pursuant to awards which may be granted under the Stock Plan from 1,000,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares.

Other than as described above, the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan will remain unchanged. Set forth below is a summary of the Stock Plan reflecting the proposed Stock Plan Amendment. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Plan, as proposed to be amended, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A and is incorporated herein by reference.

Summary of the BBX Capital Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan

Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the Stock Plan is to attract, retain and motivate officers and other employees of the Company or its subsidiaries or other affiliates, as well as directors and other individuals who perform services for the Company or its subsidiaries or other affiliates, to compensate them for their services, to encourage ownership by them of stock of the Company, to align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders in the creation of long-term value, and to promote the success and profitability of the Company’s business.

Effective Date; Term. The Stock Plan became effective upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting held on June 12, 2014. No awards may be granted under the Stock Plan after June 12, 2024.

Stock Available Under the Plan. Under the Stock Plan, the Company is permitted to grant stock options to purchase, and restricted stock awards of, shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to eligible individuals under the Stock Plan. Restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan may be in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units. If the Stock Plan Amendment is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock that will be authorized and available for issuance pursuant to stock options and restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan will increase from 1,000,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares. This maximum share amount will be subject to adjustment in the event of any change in the Company’s Class A Common Stock, including, without limitation, by reason of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares. Any shares subject to restricted stock awards or option grants under the Stock Plan which expire or are terminated, forfeited or cancelled without having been exercised or vested in full, will again be available for grant under the plan.

Administration. The Stock Plan is required to be administered by an administrative committee consisting of not less than two members of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee currently serves, and is expected to continue to serve, as the administrative committee for the Stock Plan. The administrative committee has broad discretionary powers. Subject to the terms of the Stock Plan, including those described in further detail below, the administrative committee has discretionary authority to, among other things: (i) determine the individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, options and restricted stock awards will be granted; (ii) determine the terms and provisions of each option and restricted stock award granted, including, without limitation, the number of shares underlying each option and restricted stock award and the vesting schedule applicable to each option and restricted stock award; (iii) modify or amend each option or restricted stock award, including, without limitation, accelerate or defer the exercise or vesting date of any option or the vesting date of any restricted stock award (in each case with the consent of the holder thereof if the modification or amendment would adversely affect the holder’s right with respect to the option or restricted stock award); (iv) re-price previously granted options and/or substitute new options or restricted stock awards for previously granted options or restricted stock awards, as the case may be, which previously granted options or restricted stock awards may contain less favorable terms, including, in the case of options, higher exercise prices; and (v) interpret the Stock Plan and make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration thereof.

Eligibility. The administrative committee has the authority to select the people who will receive awards under the Stock Plan. Any employee or director of the Company or of any subsidiary, parent or other affiliate of the Company, and any independent contractor or agent of the Company or any subsidiary, parent or other affiliate of the Company, may be selected by the administrative committee to receive awards under the plan.

As of December 31, 2015, approximately 6,108 individuals, including five non-employee directors and 6,103 employees of the Company or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, were eligible to be selected to receive stock options and restricted stock awards under the Stock Plan.

The Stock Plan limits the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock underlying stock options and restricted stock awards that may be granted to an individual participant in any calendar year to 300,000 shares.

Awards. The Stock Plan permits the Company to grant stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options) and restricted stock awards (both in the form of restricted stock and restricted stock units).

Stock Options . The administrative committee establishes the terms and conditions of the stock options granted under the Stock Plan. The administrative committee may not grant a stock option with a term of greater than ten years or with a purchase price that is less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

Both incentive stock options that qualify for special federal income tax treatment and non-qualified stock options that do not qualify for special federal income tax treatment may be granted under the Stock Plan. Incentive stock options are subject to certain additional restrictions under the Code and the Stock Plan. The total number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock authorized for grant under the Stock Plan as incentive stock options may not exceed the maximum number of shares authorized for grant under the plan, as described under “Stock Available Under the Plan” above.

Unless otherwise designated by the administrative committee, options granted are exercisable for a period of ten years after the date of grant, but are subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances, including upon, or after the expiration of a specified period following, such time as the individual’s employment with the Company, or any subsidiary, parent or, in certain cases, other affiliate of the Company, is deemed to be terminated under the terms of the Stock Plan. Upon the exercise of an option, the exercise price of the option must be paid in full. Payment may be made in cash and/or shares of the Company’s stock, or in such other consideration as the administrative committee authorizes. Options may be transferred prior to exercise only to certain family members, trusts or other entities owned by the option holder and/or such family members, to charitable organizations or upon the death of the option holder.

Restricted Stock Awards . At the time of grant of a restricted stock award, the administrative committee establishes the terms of the restricted stock award, including, without limitation, whether the award will be delivered

in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units, whether the award is a performance-based restricted stock award, the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock subject to the award and the vesting schedule applicable to the award.

Unless the administrative committee determines otherwise with respect to any restricted stock award, before the shares subject to a restricted stock award are vested and transferred to the award recipient, the administrative committee will hold the underlying shares and any dividends or distributions accumulating on such shares. However, the award recipient will have the right to direct the voting of the shares underlying the restricted stock award unless the restricted stock award is issued in the form of restricted stock units or the administrative committee otherwise determines not to grant voting power to the award recipient prior to vesting.

All restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan are subject to a vesting schedule specified by the administrative committee at the time the award is granted. If the administrative committee does not specify a vesting schedule, the award will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the plan or the award agreement evidencing the restricted stock award, including upon, or under certain circumstances following the expiration of a period after, such time as the award recipient’s services on behalf of the Company, or any subsidiary, parent or other affiliate of the Company, is deemed to have ceased under the terms of the plan.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards . At the time of grant of a restricted stock award (whether in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units), the administrative committee may designate the restricted stock award as a performance-based restricted stock award. In that case, the administrative committee will establish, in addition to or in lieu of service-based vesting requirements, one or more performance goals, which must be attained as a condition of the vesting and/or retention of the shares. The performance goal(s) will be based on one or more of the following:

earnings per share;

total or net revenue;

revenue growth;

operating income;

net operating income after tax;

pre-tax or after-tax income;

cash flow;

cash flow per share;

net income;

EBIT;

EBITDA;

adjusted EBITDA;

profit growth;

return on equity;

return on assets;

return on capital employed;

economic value added (or an equivalent metric);

core earnings;

share price performance or other measures of equity valuation;

other earnings criteria or profit-related return ratios;

total shareholder return;

market share;

expense levels;

working capital levels;

strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified cost, profit, operating profit, sales, revenue, cash or cash generation targets or measures, or goals, including those relating to business expansion, business development, acquisitions or divestitures; or

except in the case of a “covered employee” under Section 162(m) of the Code, any other performance criteria established by the administrative committee.

Performance goals may be established on the basis of reported earnings or cash earnings, and consolidated results or the results of a business segment or individual business unit and may, in the discretion of the administrative committee, include or exclude certain items, including the operations or results of a business segment or individual business unit and/or the results of discontinued operations. Each performance goal may be expressed on an absolute and/or relative basis, may be based on or otherwise employ comparisons based on internal targets, the past performance of the Company (or individual business segments or units) and/or the past or current performance of other companies. Performance goals need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria).

Attainment of the performance goals is measured over a performance measurement period specified by the administrative committee when the award is made. The administrative committee determines, in its discretion, whether the award recipient has attained the performance goals. If the administrative committee determines that the award recipient attained the performance goals, the administrative committee certifies that fact in writing. If the performance goals are not satisfied during the performance measurement period, the relevant award will be forfeited. If the performance goals and any service-based vesting schedule are satisfied, the award will be distributed (or any vesting-related legend removed from any stock certificates previously delivered to the award recipient).

Mergers and Reorganizations. The number of shares available under the Stock Plan and the number of shares subject to stock options and restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan may be adjusted to reflect any merger, consolidation or other business reorganization in which the Company is the surviving entity, and to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, spin-off or other event where the administrative committee determines an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent the enlargement or dilution of an award recipient’s rights. If a merger, consolidation or other business reorganization occurs and the Company is not the surviving entity, any outstanding options, at the discretion of the administrative committee or the Board of Directors, may be canceled and payment made to the option holder in an amount equal to the value of the canceled options or modified to provide for alternative, nearly equivalent securities. Any outstanding restricted stock award shall be adjusted by allocating to the award recipient any money, stock, securities or other property received by the other shareholders of record on account of outstanding shares, and such money, stock, securities or other property shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the restricted stock award on account of which it has been issued, exchanged or paid.

Termination or Amendment. The Board of Directors or the administrative committee has the authority to at any time and from time to time terminate, modify, suspend or amend the Stock Plan, in whole or in part; provided, however, that no such termination, modification, suspension or amendment shall be effective without shareholder approval if such approval is required to comply with any applicable law or stock exchange rule. In addition, no termination, modification, suspension or amendment of the plan will, without the consent of an option holder or restricted stock award recipient, adversely affect such option holder’s or restricted stock award recipient’s rights under any previously granted and then-outstanding stock option or restricted stock award, as the case may be.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is intended to be a summary and is not a comprehensive description of the federal tax laws, regulations and policies affecting the Company and recipients of restricted stock awards or stock options that may be granted under the Stock Plan. Any descriptions of the provisions of any law, regulation or policy are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular law, regulation or policy. Any change in applicable law or regulation or in the policies of various taxing authorities may have a significant effect on this summary. The Stock Plan is not a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code.

Stock Options. Incentive stock options do not create federal income tax consequences when they are granted. If incentive stock options are exercised during the term of the option holder’s employment or within three months thereafter (or within one year thereafter in the case of termination due to death or disability), the exercise does not create federal income tax consequences. When the shares acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option are sold, the seller must pay federal income taxes on the amount by which the sales price exceeds the exercise price. This amount will be taxed at capital gains rates if the sale occurs at least two years after the option was granted and at least one year after the option was exercised. Otherwise, it is taxed as ordinary income.

Incentive stock options that are exercised more than three months after the termination of the option holder’s employment (or more than one year after termination of the option holder’s employment due to death or disability) are treated as non-qualified stock options. Non-qualified stock options do not create federal income tax consequences when they are granted. When non-qualified stock options are exercised, federal income taxes at ordinary income tax rates must be paid on the amount by which the fair market value of the shares acquired by exercising the option exceeds the exercise price. When an option holder sells shares acquired by exercising a non-qualified stock option, he or she must pay federal income taxes on the amount by which the sales price exceeds the exercise price plus the amount included in ordinary income at option exercise. This amount will be taxed at capital gains rates, which will vary depending upon the time that has elapsed since the exercise of the option.

When a non-qualified stock option is exercised, the Company is allowed a federal income tax deduction for the same amount that the option holder includes in his or her ordinary income, subject to certain restrictions and limits set forth in the Code. When an incentive stock option is exercised, the Company is not allowed to claim a deduction unless the shares acquired are resold sooner than two years after the option was granted or one year after the option was exercised.

Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan generally do not result in federal income tax consequences to either the Company or the award recipient at the time of grant. Once the award is vested and the shares subject to the award are distributed, the award recipient is generally required to include in ordinary income, for the taxable year in which the vesting date occurs, an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date. The Company is generally allowed to claim a deduction, for compensation expense, in a like amount. If dividends are paid on unvested shares held under the Stock Plan, such dividend amounts are also included in the ordinary income of the recipient. The Company is generally allowed to claim a deduction for compensation expense for this amount as well.

In certain cases, a recipient of a restricted stock award that is not a performance-based restricted stock award may elect to include the value of the shares subject to a restricted stock award in income for federal income tax purposes when the award is made instead of when it vests.

Section 162(m) Deduction Limits. Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to its chief executive officer and other employees (other than its chief financial officer) whose compensation is required to be reported to shareholders under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder. However, the statute exempts qualifying “performance-based compensation” from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Company designed the Stock Plan so that stock options and performance-based restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan will, if applicable requirements are met, constitute qualified performance-based compensation if the Board determines to seek such treatment. However, the $1,000,000 limit on deductibility would apply to restricted stock awards made to covered employees that are not designated as performance-based restricted stock awards.

The preceding statements are intended to summarize the general principles of current federal income tax law applicable to awards granted under the Stock Plan. State and local tax consequences may also be significant.

New Plan Benefits

Grants of restricted stock awards and stock options under the Stock Plan are at the discretion of the administrative committee. The administrative committee has not yet determined to whom and in what amount any future awards will be made.

Shareholder Vote Required for Approval of the Stock Plan Amendment

Under the Stock Plan and in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules of the NYSE, approval of the Stock Plan Amendment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the Stock Plan Amendment, including abstentions. Holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on the Stock Plan Amendment, with all holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date being entitled to one vote per share and having in the aggregate 53% of the general voting power, and all holders of the Company’s Class B

Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date being entitled to 73.65 votes per share and having in the aggregate the remaining 47% of the general voting power.

The Board of Directors Unanimously Recommends that Shareholders

Vote “For” the Stock Plan Amendment.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C promulgated by the SEC, other than as provided in Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically requests that the following Audit Committee Report be treated as “soliciting material” or specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee’s charter (available at www.bbxcapital.com ) sets forth the Audit Committee’s responsibilities, which include oversight of the Company’s financial reporting on behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 with the Company’s management and internal audit group as well as with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2015, Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”). The Audit Committee also discussed with Grant Thornton the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

The Audit Committee received from Grant Thornton the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Grant Thornton’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with Grant Thornton its independence from the Company. When considering Grant Thornton’s independence, the Audit Committee considered whether Grant Thornton’s provision of services to the Company beyond those rendered in connection with its audit and review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements was compatible with maintaining Grant Thornton’s independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed, among other things, the amount of fees paid to Grant Thornton for audit and non-audit services.

Based on these reviews, meetings, discussions and reports, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Fees to Independent Registered public Accounting Firm

for THE YEARS ENDED dECEMBER 31, 2015 and 2014

On August 11, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2015. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for 2014. The table below presents fees for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton and PwC for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for 2015 and 2014, as well as fees billed for audit-related services, tax services and all other services rendered by Grant Thornton and PwC for those years. On August 11, 2015, Grant Thornton was also engaged by BFC to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm for 2015. The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton to BFC for 2015 were approximately $421,000. PwC served as the independent registered public accounting firm for BFC for 2014. The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by PwC to BFC for 2014 and for the interim period from January 1, 2015 through August 11, 2015 was approximately $579,000 and $369,000, respectively.

Includes primarily fees for services related to the annual financial statement audits, the annual audits of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the review of quarterly financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

(2)

Includes fees for services related to acquisitions and investments made by the Company during 2014, including the acquisitions of Helen Grace Chocolates and Anastasia Confections, Inc., and fees associated with procedures performed following an adverse jury verdict in the litigation brought by the SEC against the Company and its then-serving Chairman.

(3)

The 2014 amount represents, and the 2015 amount includes, a one year licensing fee to access PwC’s accounting research software. The 2015 amount also includes fees related to trial preparation in connection with the litigation brought by the SEC against the Company and its then-serving Chairman.

All audit-related services and other services set forth above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by Grant Thornton or PwC, as the case may be, was compatible with the maintenance of such firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

Under its charter, the Audit Committee must review and pre-approve both audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditor and shall not engage the independent auditor to perform any non-audit services prohibited by law or regulation. Each year, the independent auditor’s retention to audit the Company’s financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the Audit Committee. Under its current practices, the Audit Committee does not regularly evaluate potential engagements of the independent auditor and approve or reject such potential engagements. At each Audit Committee meeting, the Audit Committee receives updates on the services actually provided by the independent auditor, and management may present additional services for pre-approval. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements on behalf of the Audit Committee in the event that a need arises for pre-approval between regular Audit Committee meetings. If the Chairman so approves any such engagements, he will report that approval to the full Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any matters other than those described in this Proxy Statement which may be brought before the Annual Meeting.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF

PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING

TO BE HELD ON MAY 23, 2016

This Proxy Statement (including a form of the accompanying proxy card) and the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2015 are available at www.edocumentview.com/BBX_MTG .

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

On August 11, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the engagement of Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015. The Company formally engaged Grant Thornton pursuant to an engagement letter dated August 17, 2015. A representative of Grant Thornton is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

On August 11, 2015, the Company, upon the approval of its Audit Committee and in connection with the approved engagement of Grant Thornton, dismissed PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of PwC on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the interim period from January 1, 2015 through August 11, 2015: (i) the Company had no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to PwC’s satisfaction, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years; and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K; however, in March 2015, PwC advised the Company that it would rely on management’s representations but would not and did not rely on the representations of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the interim period from January 1, 2015 through August 11, 2015, the Company did not consult with Grant Thornton regarding: (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of either a “disagreement,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

“Householding” of Proxy Material. The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or AST, the Company’s transfer agent, that they or the Company will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of this Proxy Statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single Proxy Statement was delivered. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to

receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple proxy statements and would like to request delivery of a single proxy statement, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or AST if you are the record holder of your shares. You can notify AST by sending a written request to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, 6201 15th Avenue, 2nd Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11219, Attention: Customer Service. You can also contact AST’s Customer Service department at (800) 937-5449.

Advance Notice Procedures . Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, no business may be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders unless it is specified in the notice of the annual meeting of shareholders or is otherwise brought before the annual meeting of shareholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by a shareholder entitled to vote who has delivered written notice to the Company’s Secretary (containing certain information specified in the Bylaws about the shareholder and the proposed action) not less than 90 or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders. However, if the date of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders changes by more than 30 days from the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders, written notice of the proposed business must be received by the Company within ten days after the Company first mails notice of or publicly discloses the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. For the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company must receive written notice of proposed business from a shareholder (i) between January 23, 2017 and February 22, 2017 or (ii) if the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is held more than 30 days before or after May 23, 2017, within ten days after the Company first mails notice of or publicly discloses the date of the meeting. In addition, any shareholder who wishes to submit a nomination to the Board of Directors must deliver written notice of the nomination within the applicable time period set forth above and comply with the information requirements in the Bylaws relating to shareholder nominations. These requirements are separate from and in addition to the SEC’s requirements that a shareholder must meet in order to have a shareholder proposal included in the Company’s proxy statement.

Shareholder Proposals for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Shareholders interested in submitting a proposal for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders may do so by following the procedures relating to shareholder proposals set forth in the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. To be eligible for inclusion, shareholder proposals must be received by the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices by December 26, 2016.

Proxy Solicitation Costs. The Company will bear the expense of soliciting proxies and of reimbursing brokers, banks and other nominees for the out-of-pocket and clerical expenses of transmitting copies of the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. The Company does not currently intend to solicit proxies other than by use of the mail, but certain directors, officers and regular employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, fax, special letter or otherwise.

If an Option or Restricted Stock Award should expire, become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, or be cancelled for any reason during the calendar year in which it was granted, the number of Shares covered by such Option or Restricted Stock Award shall nevertheless be treated as Options or Restricted Stock Awards, as the case may be, granted for purposes of the limitation in the preceding sentence.

4. ADMINISTRATION.

(a) Procedure . This Plan shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors, which initially shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee shall consist of not less than two (2) members of the Board of Directors. Once appointed, the Committee shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board of Directors. From time to time, the Board of Directors, at its discretion, may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause), and appoint new members in substitution therefor, and fill vacancies however caused; provided, however, that at no time shall the Committee consist of less than two (2) members of the Board of Directors. If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board of Directors and permitted pursuant to the terms hereof, the Board of Directors may take any action and exercise any power, privilege or discretion under this Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee.

(b) Powers of the Committee . Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion: (i) to grant Incentive Stock Options, in accordance with Section 422 of the Code, to grant Nonqualified Stock Options, or to grant Restricted Stock Awards; (ii) if applicable, to determine, upon review of relevant information, the Fair Market Value of the Class A Common Stock; (iii) to determine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Options and Restricted Stock Awards shall be granted; (iv) to determine the terms and provisions of each Option or Restricted Stock Award granted (which need not be identical), including, without

limitation, the number of Shares represented by each Restricted Stock Award, the number of shares underlying each Option, the exercise price per share of each Option, the consideration, if any, for each Restricted Stock Award and the vesting schedule of each Option and Restricted Stock Award; (v) to interpret this Plan; (vi) to amend this Plan, if amendment by the Committee is permitted pursuant to the terms hereof; (vii) to modify or amend each Option or Restricted Stock Award, including to accelerate or defer the exercise or vesting date of any Option or the vesting date of any Restricted Stock Award (in each case with the consent of the holder thereof to the extent required); (viii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option or Restricted Stock Award previously granted by the Committee; (ix) to re-price previously granted Options and/or substitute new Options or Restricted Stock Awards for previously granted Options or Restricted Stock Awards, as the case may be, which previously granted Options or Restricted Stock Awards contain less favorable terms, including, in the case of Options, higher exercise prices; and (x) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

(c) Effect of the Committee’s Decision . All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Optionees, Award Recipients or Transferees, if applicable.

5. ELIGIBILITY. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees, including officers, of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. Nonqualified Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards may be granted to Employees as well as directors of, and independent contractors and agents who are natural persons and perform services for, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company (provided that Options and Restricted Stock Awards may not be granted under this Plan to an independent contractor or agent to the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company for services in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction or services that directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities). Any individual who has been granted an Option or Restricted Stock Award may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options and/or Restricted Stock Awards.

Except as otherwise provided under the Code, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares for which Incentive Stock Options (under all stock option plans of the Company and of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) are exercisable for the first time by an Employee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For purposes of this limitation, (a) the Fair Market Value of Shares is determined as of the time the Option is granted and (b) the limitation is applied by taking into account Options in the order in which they were granted.

This Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment nor shall this Plan confer upon any Optionee or Award Recipient any right with respect to continuation of employment or continuation of providing services to the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company’s right to terminate his or her employment or provision of services at any time.

6. TERM OF PLAN. This Plan shall continue in effect until June 12, 2024, unless sooner terminated under Section 11.

7. STOCK OPTIONS.

7.1 Term of Option . The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Stock Option Agreement. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, immediately before the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter time as may be provided in such Optionee’s Stock Option Agreement.

7.2 Exercise Price and Consideration .

(a) Price . The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as determined by the Committee, but shall be subject to the following:

(i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option which is:

(A) granted to an Employee who, immediately before the grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or

(B) granted to an Employee not within (A), the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(ii) In the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(b) Certain Corporate Transactions . In the event an Option is substituted for a stock option issued by another Person in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or partial or complete liquidation involving the Company and such other Person, the exercise price per Share of such substituted Option shall (subject to the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code in the case of a stock option that was intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option”) be in such amount so as to preserve, on a per Share basis with respect to such substituted option, the same ratio of Fair Market Value per Share to exercise price per Share which existed immediately prior to such corporate transaction.

(c) Payment . The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Committee and may consist entirely of cash, check, promissory note, or other shares of the Company’s capital stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, or any combination of such methods of payment, or such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under the law of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation. The Committee may also establish coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms for the “cashless exercise” of Options, whereby Shares issued upon exercise of an Option are delivered against payment by the brokerage firm on the Optionee’s behalf. When payment of the exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option consists of shares of the Company’s capital stock, such shares will not be accepted as payment unless the Optionee or Transferee, if applicable, has held such shares for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes.

7.3 Exercise Of Option .

(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder . Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Committee, including performance criteria with respect to the Optionee, performance criteria with respect to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or in the case of Nonqualified Stock Options, performance criteria with respect to any Affiliate of the Company, and as shall be permissible under the terms of this Plan. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 7.2(c).

(b) Termination of Status as an Employee . If any individual ceases to be in Continuous Status as an Employee, such individual or his or her Transferee may, but only within three (3) months (or, provided that the applicable Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, such longer period of time as may be determined by the Committee) after the date the individual ceases to be in Continuous Status as an Employee, exercise an Option previously granted and

then-outstanding to the extent that the individual or his or her Transferee was entitled to exercise the Option as of the date of such termination of Continuous Status as an Employee and the Option did not otherwise expire prior to the exercise date. To the extent that the individual or his or her Transferee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, or if the individual or any Transferee does not exercise such Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.3(b), (i) if any individual ceases to serve as an Employee as a result of a termination for cause (as determined by the Committee), any Option held by such individual or his or her Transferee shall terminate immediately and automatically on the date of termination as an Employee unless otherwise determined by the Committee, and (ii) if an individual ceases to be in Continuous Status as an Employee solely due to a reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, or other similar corporate transaction or event, the Committee may, in its discretion, suspend the operation of this Section 7.3(b); provided that, in the case of this clause (ii) or if an Employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company is re-assigned to an Affiliate of the Company, the individual shall execute an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Committee, waiving such individual’s right to have his or her Options treated as Incentive Stock Options from and after a date determined by the Committee, which shall be no later than three (3) months after the cessation or re-assignment date, as the case may be, and such individual’s Options shall thereafter be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options for all purposes.

(c) Disability of Optionee . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3(b) above, in the event an Employee is unable to continue his employment as a result of his or her Disability, such individual or his or her Transferee may, but only within three (3) months or such other period of time as is determined by the Committee not exceeding twelve (12) months (or, provided that the applicable Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, such longer period of time as may be determined by the Committee) from the date of cessation of employment for Disability, exercise an Option previously granted and then-outstanding to the extent the individual or his or her Transferee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such cessation of employment for Disability and the Option did not otherwise expire prior to the exercise date.. To the extent that the individual or his or her Transferee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of cessation of employment for Disability, or if the individual or his or her Transferee does not exercise such Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable.

(d) Death of Optionee . In the event of the death of an Optionee:

(i) who is at the time of his or her death an Employee and who shall have been in Continuous Status as an Employee since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months (or, provided that the applicable Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, such longer period of time as may be determined by the Committee) following the date of death or the earlier expiration of the Option in accordance with its terms, in each case by the Optionee’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, or by any Transferee, as the case may be, but only to the extent of the right to exercise in effect as of the date of death or that would have accrued had the Optionee continued living one (1) month after the date of death; or

(ii) within thirty (30) days or such other period of time as is determined by the Committee not exceeding three (3) months (or, provided that the applicable Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, such longer period of time as may be determined by the Committee) after the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee (other than due to a termination for cause, in which case clause (i) of Section 7.3(b) shall govern), the Option may be exercised, at any time within three (3) months following the date of death or the earlier expiration of the Option in accordance with its terms, in each case by the Optionee’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, or by any Transferee, as the case may be, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of termination the Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee.

7.4 Transferability of Options . During an Optionee’s lifetime, an Option may be exercisable only by the Optionee and an Option granted under this Plan and the rights and privileges conferred thereby shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process and may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or otherwise disposed of in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Rule 16b-3, the Committee may determine that an Option may be transferred by an Optionee to any of the following: (i) a family member of the Optionee; (ii) a trust established primarily for the benefit of the Optionee and/or a family member of said Optionee in which the Optionee and/or one or more of his family members collectively have a more than fifty

percent (50%) beneficial interest; (iii) a foundation in which such persons collectively control the management of assets; (iv) any other legal entity in which such persons collectively own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests; or (v) any charitable organization exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code (collectively, a “Transferee”); provided, however, that in no event shall an Incentive Stock Option be transferable if such transferability would violate the applicable requirements under Section 422 of the Code. Any other attempt to sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Option under this Plan or of any right or privilege conferred thereby, contrary to the provisions of this Plan, or the sale or levy or any attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred hereby, shall be null and void.

8. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

8.1 In General .

(a) Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Notice issued by the Committee to the Award Recipient containing such terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as the Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe, including, without limitation, any of the following terms or conditions:

(i) the number of Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Award;

(ii) the amount (if any) which the Award Recipient shall be required to pay to the Company in consideration for the issuance of such Shares (which shall in on event be less than the minimum amount required for such Shares to be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable under applicable law);

(iii) whether the Restricted Stock Award is a Performance-Based Award and, if it is, the applicable Performance Goal or Performance Goals;

(iv) the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Award; and

(v) the vesting date for the Restricted Stock Award.

(b) Restricted Stock Awards may be in the form of issued and outstanding Shares that shall be either:

(i) registered in the name of the Committee for the benefit of the Award Recipient and held by the Committee pending the vesting of the Restricted Stock Award;

(ii) registered in the name of the Award Recipient and held by the Committee, together with a stock power executed by the Award Recipient in favor of the Committee, pending the vesting or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Award; or

(iii) registered in the name and delivered to the Award Recipient.

In any event, the certificates evidencing the Shares shall at all times prior to the applicable vesting date bear the following legend:

The Class A Common Stock evidenced hereby is subject to the terms of a Restricted Stock Award agreement between BBX Capital Corporation and [Name of Award Recipient] dated [Date] made pursuant to the terms of the BBX Capital Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, copies of which are on file at the executive offices of BBX Capital Corporation, and may not be sold, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except in accordance with the terms of such Plan and Agreement.

and/or such other restrictive legend as the Committee, in its discretion, may specify.

(c) Restricted Stock Awards may also be in the form of “restricted stock units,” where no Shares are issued and outstanding until the Vesting Date(s) or, alternatively, until the Performance Goals have been satisfied. Each “restricted stock unit” will represent the right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock upon vesting. On each Vesting Date, or when the Performance Goals are met in the case of a Performance-Based Award, the appropriate number of Shares will then be issued and outstanding, registered in the name of the Award Recipient, and at that

time, such Shares shall be freely transferable without restriction and the Award Recipient shall have all rights of beneficial ownership.

(d) Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, a Restricted Stock Award shall not be transferable by the Award Recipient other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and the Shares granted pursuant to such Restricted Stock Award shall be distributable, during the lifetime of the Award Recipient, only to the Award Recipient.

8.2 Vesting Date .

(a) The vesting date for each Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Committee and specified in the Award Notice and, if no date is specified in the Award Notice, shall be the first anniversary of the date on which the Restricted Stock Award is granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and specified in the Award Notice:

(i) if the Service of an Award Recipient is terminated prior to the vesting date of a Restricted Stock Award for any reason other than death or Disability, any unvested Shares shall be forfeited without consideration (other than a refund to the Award Recipient of an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the cash amount, if any, actually paid by the Award Recipient to the Company for the Shares being forfeited and (B) the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of forfeiture);

(ii) if the Service of an Award Recipient is terminated prior to the vesting date of a Restricted Stock Award on account of death or Disability, any unvested Shares with a vesting date that is during the period of six (6) months beginning on the date of termination of Service shall become vested on the date of termination of Service and any remaining unvested Shares shall be forfeited without consideration (other than a refund to the Award Recipient of an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the cash amount, if any, actually paid by the Award Recipient to the Company for the Shares being forfeited and (B) the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of forfeiture).

8.3 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards .

(a) If the Committee determines that a Restricted Stock Award shall be a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award, at the time of grant of the award, the Committee shall establish one or more Performance Goals, the attainment of which shall be a condition to the vesting and/or retention of the related Shares. The Performance Goals shall be selected from among the following:

(i) earnings per share;

(ii) total or net revenue;

(iii) revenue growth;

(iv) operating income;

(v) net operating income after tax;

(vi) pre-tax or after-tax income;

(vii) cash flow;

(viii) cash flow per share;

(ix) net income;

(x) EBIT;

(xi) EBITDA;

(xii) adjusted EBITDA;

(xii) profit growth;

(xiv) return on equity;

(xv) return on assets;

(xvi) return on capital employed;

(xvii) economic value added (or an equivalent metric);

(xviii) core earnings;

(xix) share price performance or other measures of equity valuation;

(xx) other earnings criteria or profit-related return ratios;

(xxi) total shareholder return;

(xxii) market share;

(xxiii) expense levels;

(xxiv) working capital levels;

(xxv) strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified cost, profit, operating profit, sales, revenue, cash or cash generation targets or measures, or goals, including those relating to business expansion, business development, acquisitions or divestitures;

(xxvi) except in the case of a Covered Employee, any other performance criteria established by the Committee; or

(xxvii) any combination of (i) through (xxvi) above.

Performance Goals may be established on the basis of reported earnings or cash earnings, and consolidated results or the results of a business segment or individual business unit and may, in the discretion of the Committee, include or exclude certain items, including the operations or results of a business segment or individual business unit and/or the results of discontinued operations. Each Performance Goal may be expressed on an absolute and/or relative basis, may be based on or otherwise employ comparisons based on internal targets, the past performance of the Company (or individual business segments or units) and/or the past or current performance of other companies. Performance Goals need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria).

(b) At the time it grants a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall establish a Performance Measurement Period for each Performance Goal. The Performance Measurement Period shall be the period over which the Performance Goal is measured and its attainment is determined. If the Committee establishes a Performance Goal but fails to specify a Performance Measurement Period, the Performance Measurement Period shall be:

(i) if the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award is granted during the first three months of the Company’s fiscal year, the fiscal year of the Company in which the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award is granted; and

(ii) in all other cases, the period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company that begins with the fiscal quarter in which the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award is granted.

(c) Within a reasonable period of time as shall be determined by the Committee following the end of each Performance Measurement Period, the Committee shall determine, on the basis of such evidence as it deems appropriate, whether the Performance Goals for such Performance Measurement Period have been attained and, if they have been obtained, shall certify such fact in writing.

(d) If the Performance Goals for a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award have been determined and certified by the Committee to have been attained:

(i) if the relevant vesting date has occurred, the Committee shall cause the ownership of the Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award, together with all dividends and other distributions with respect thereto that have been accumulated, to be transferred on the stock transfer records of the Company, free of any restrictive legend other than as may be required by applicable law, to the Award Recipient; and

(ii) in all other cases, the Shares shall continue in their current status pending the occurrence of the relevant vesting date or forfeiture of the Shares.

If any one or more of the relevant Performance Goals have been determined by the Committee to not have been attained, all of the Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award shall be forfeited without consideration (other than a refund to the Award Recipient of an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the cash amount, if any, actually paid by the Award Recipient to the Company for the Shares being forfeited and (B) the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of forfeiture).

(e) If the Performance Goals for any Performance Measurement Period shall have been affected by special factors (including material changes in accounting policies or practices, material acquisitions or dispositions of property, or other unusual items) that in the Committee’s judgment should or should not be taken into account, in whole or in part, in the equitable administration of this Plan, the Committee may, for any purpose of this Plan, adjust such Performance Goals and make payments accordingly under this Plan; provided, however, that any adjustments made in accordance with or for the purposes of this section 8.3(e) shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Performance Goals for a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award to a Covered Employee if and to the extent that such adjustments would have the effect of increasing the amount of a Restricted Stock Award to such Covered Employee.

8.4 Dividend Rights . Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock Award and specifies such determination in the relevant Award Notice, any dividends or distributions declared and paid with respect to Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award, whether or not in cash, shall be held and accumulated for distribution at the same time and subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying Shares.

8.5 Voting Rights . Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock Award and specifies such determination in the relevant Award Notice, the Award Recipient shall have the right to direct the voting of the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award (other than Restricted Stock Awards in the form of “restricted stock units”).

8.6 Tender and Other Offers . Each Award Recipient shall have the right to respond, or to direct the response, with respect to the Shares related to his or her Restricted Stock Award, to any tender offer, exchange offer, rights offer or other offer made to the holders of Shares. To the extent applicable, such a direction for any such Shares shall be given by completing and filing, with the inspector of elections, the trustee or such other person who shall be independent of the Company as the Committee shall designate in the direction, a written direction in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee. If no such direction is given, then the Shares shall not be tendered or the Award Recipient shall be deemed to not have participated in such exchange, rights or other offer, as the case may be.

8.7 Designation of Beneficiary . An Award Recipient may designate a Beneficiary to receive any unvested Shares that become available for distribution on the date of his or her death. Such designation (and any change or revocation of such designation) shall be made in writing in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee. In the event that the Beneficiary designated by an Award Recipient dies prior to the Award Recipient, or in the event that no Beneficiary has been designated, any vested Shares that become available for distribution on the Award

Recipient’s death shall be paid to the executor or administrator of the Award Recipient’s estate, or if no such executor or administrator is appointed within such time as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall deem reasonable, to the spouse or the descendants or blood relatives of such deceased person as the Committee may select.

8.8 Taxes . The Company or the Committee shall have the right to require any person entitled to receive Shares pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award to pay the amount of any tax which is required to be withheld with respect to such Shares, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or to sell without notice, or the person receiving the Shares pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award may otherwise satisfy the tax withholding requirement by surrendering, a sufficient number of shares of the Company’s capital stock to cover the amount required to be withheld.

9. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR MERGER. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event any recapitalization, forward or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Class A Common Stock or other securities, stock dividend or other special and nonrecurring dividend or distribution (whether in the form of cash, securities or other property), liquidation, dissolution, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Class A Common Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in the Committee’s discretion in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Optionees and Award Recipients under this Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities deemed to be available thereafter for grants of Options and Restricted Stock Awards under this Plan in the aggregate to all eligible individuals and individually to any one eligible individual, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities that may be delivered or deliverable in respect of outstanding Options or Restricted Stock Awards, and (iii) the exercise price of Options. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Options and Restricted Stock Awards (including, without limitation, cancellation of Options or Restricted Stock Awards in exchange for the in-the-money value, if any, of the vested portion thereof, or substitution of Options or Restricted Stock Awards using stock of a successor or other Person) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or account principles; provided, however, that any such adjustment to an Option or Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award granted to a Covered Employee with respect to the Company or its Parent, Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall conform to the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder then in effect. In addition, each such adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall comply with the rules of Section 424(a) of the Code (or any successor provision), and in no event shall any adjustment be made which would cause any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder to fail to constitute an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code. The Committee’s determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares of Class A Common Stock subject to an Option or Restricted Stock Award.

In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or in the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another Person, the Committee or the Board of Directors may determine, in its discretion, that (i) if any such transaction is effected in a manner that causes holders of Class A Common Stock to be entitled to receive stock or other securities in exchange for such shares, then, as a condition of such transaction, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the provisions of this Plan and the Options granted hereunder shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of any Option or (ii) the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction. The Committee or the Board of Directors may, in the exercise of its discretion in such instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee or the Board of Directors and give each Optionee or Transferee, if applicable, the right to exercise his Option as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable; provided, however, that the Committee may, at any time prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization, direct that all, but not less than all, outstanding Options be cancelled as of the effective date of such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization in exchange for a cash payment per optioned Share equal to the excess (if any) of the value exchanged for an outstanding Share in such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization over the exercise price of the Option being cancelled.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors, in the event of any merger, consolidation, or other business reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving entity, any Restricted Stock Award with respect to which Shares had been awarded to an Award Recipient shall be adjusted by allocating to the Award Recipient the amount of money, stock, securities or other property to be received by the other shareholders of record, and such money, stock, securities or other property shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award that applied to the Shares for which it has been exchanged.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding Options or Restricted Stock Awards granted under this Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i) any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issuance by the Company of debt securities or preferred stock that would rank senior to the Shares subject to outstanding Options or Restricted Stock Awards; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

10. Compliance with Code Section 162(m). It is the intent of the Company that Options granted to Covered Employees and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards to Covered Employees shall constitute qualified “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant of the Option or Restricted Stock Award. Accordingly, the applicable terms hereof, including the definition of “Covered Employee” and the provisions of Section 8.3, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, because the Committee cannot determine with certainty whether a given person will be a Covered Employee with respect to a fiscal year that has not yet been completed, the term Covered Employee as used herein shall mean only a person designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee with respect to a specified fiscal year. If any provision of this Plan or any Option Agreement or Award Notice relating to a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award that is designated as intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

11. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN. The Board of Directors or the Committee may at any time and from time to time terminate, modify, suspend or amend this Plan, in whole or in part, provided, however, that no such termination, modification, suspension or amendment shall be effective without shareholder approval if such approval is required to comply with any applicable law or stock exchange rule. No termination, modification, suspension or amendment of this Plan shall, without the consent of an Optionee or Award Recipient, adversely affect his or her rights under any Option or Restricted Stock Award previously granted to the Optionee or Award Recipient, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Board of Directors or the Committee shall have broad authority to amend this Plan to take into account changes in applicable tax laws, securities laws, accounting rules and other applicable state and federal laws.

12. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or delivered with respect to a Restricted Stock Award unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto or the grant of a Restricted Stock Award and the delivery of Shares with respect thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

As a condition to the exercise of an Option, grant of a Restricted Stock Award or delivery of Shares with respect to an Option or Restricted Stock Award, the Company may require the Person exercising such Option or acquiring such Shares or Restricted Stock Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise, grant or acquisition that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by applicable law. The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares under this Plan prior to (i) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which Shares may then be listed, or (ii) the completion of such

registration or other qualification under any state or federal law, rule or regulation as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

13. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Plan. Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

14. STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT; AWARD NOTICE. Options shall be evidenced by written Stock Option Agreements and Restricted Stock Awards shall be evidenced by written Award Notices, each in such form as the Committee shall approve.

The date of grant of an Option or Restricted Stock Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option or Restricted Stock Award or such later date as the Committee may specify. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Optionee or Award Recipient within a reasonable time after the date of grant.

15. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL . This Plan became effective upon the approval by the shareholders of the Company holding shares of the Common Stock representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on this Plan on June 12, 2014. No Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards shall be granted after June 12, 2019 unless, prior to such date, the listing of permissible Performance Goals set forth in Section 8.3 shall have been re-approved by the shareholders of the Company in the manner required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

16. OTHER PROVISIONS. The Stock Option Agreements and Award Notices authorized under this Plan may contain such other provisions, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Option or vesting of the Restricted Stock Award, as the Board of Directors or the Committee shall deem advisable; provided such provisions may not be inconsistent with the terms hereof. Any Stock Option Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall contain such limitations and restrictions upon the exercise of the Incentive Stock Option as shall be necessary in order to cause such Option to constitute an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code.

17. INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS. In addition to such other rights of indemnification they may have as directors, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal thereon, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or any failure to act under or in connection with this Plan or any Option or Restricted Stock Award granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee member is liable for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties; provided that within sixty (60) days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a Committee member shall in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at the Company’s own expense, to handle and defend the same.

18. NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The granting of an Option shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Option.

19. WITHHOLDINGS; TAX MATTERS.

19.1 The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid by the Company in cash with respect to an Option under this Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such Option. Where any Person is entitled to receive Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Company shall have the right to require such Person to pay to the Company the amount of any tax which the Company is required to withhold with respect to such Shares, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or to sell without notice, a sufficient number of Shares to cover the minimum amount required to be withheld. To the extent determined by the Committee and specified in the Stock

Option Agreement, an Optionee shall have the right to direct the Company to satisfy the minimum required federal, state and local tax withholding by reducing the number of Shares subject to the Option (without issuance of such Shares to the Optionee) by a number equal to the quotient of (a) the total minimum amount of required tax withholding divided by (b) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Option exercise date over the Option exercise price per Share.

19.2 If and to the extent permitted by the Committee and specified in an Award Notice for a Restricted Stock Award other than a Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award, an Award Recipient may be permitted or required to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to include the compensation related thereto in income for federal income tax purposes at the time of issuance of the Shares to such Award Recipient instead of at a subsequent vesting date. In such event, the Shares issued prior to their vesting date shall be issued in certificated form only, and the certificates therefor shall bear the following legend:

The Class A Common Stock evidenced hereby is subject to the terms of a Restricted Stock Award agreement between BBX Capital Corporation and [Name of Recipient] dated [Date] made pursuant to the terms of the BBX Capital Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, copies of which are on file at the executive offices of BBX Capital Corporation, and may not be sold, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except in accordance with the terms of such Plan and Agreement.

or such other restrictive legend as the Committee, in its discretion, may specify.

In the event of the Award Recipient’s termination of Service prior to the relevant vesting date or forfeiture of the Shares for any other reason, the Award Recipient shall be required to return all forfeited Shares to the Company without consideration therefor (other than a refund to the Award Recipient of an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the cash amount, if any, actually paid by the Award Recipient to the Company for the Shares being forfeited and (B) the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of forfeiture).

20. OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS. The adoption of this Plan shall not affect any other stock option or incentive or other compensation plans in effect for the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, nor shall this Plan preclude the Company from establishing any other forms of incentive or other compensation for employees and directors of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or for any other individual who performs services for the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the effective date of this Plan, the Company will not issue any awards under the Company’s 2005 Restricted Stock and Option Plan or the Company’s Amended and Restated 2001 Option Plan; however, this Plan shall not impact in any manner any awards previously granted under such prior plans.

21. SINGULAR, PLURAL; GENDER. Whenever used herein, nouns in the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine gender.

22. HEADINGS, ETC. NO PART OF PLAN. Headings of Articles and Sections hereof are inserted for convenience and reference only; they constitute no part of this Plan.

23. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Plan, and the provision held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be enforced as nearly as possible according to its original terms and intent to eliminate such invalidity or unenforceability.
