Community Development District Obligations

A community development district or similar development authority (“CDD”) is a unit of local government created under various state and/or local statutes to encourage planned community development and allow for the construction of infrastructure improvements through alternative financing sources, including the tax-exempt bond markets. A CDD is generally created through the approval of the local city or county in which the CDD is located and is controlled by a board of supervisors representing the landowners within the CDD. In connection with BBXRE’s development of the Beacon Lakes Community, The Meadow View at Twin Creeks CDD (the “Beacon Lakes CDD”) was formed by St. Johns County, Florida to use bond financing to fund the construction of infrastructure improvements at the Beacon Lakes Community. The Beacon Lakes CDD issues bonds periodically to fund ongoing construction of the Beacon Lakes Community, and in November 2021, May 2020, February 2019, November 2018, and November 2016, the Beacon Lakes CDD issued bonds in the amount of $5.1 million, $8.6 million, $8.1 million, $16.5 million, and $21.4 million, respectively.

The obligation to pay principal and interest on the bonds issued by the Beacon Lakes CDD is assigned to each parcel within the CDD, and the Beacon Lakes CDD has a lien on each parcel. If the owner of the parcel does not pay this obligation, the Beacon Lakes CDD can foreclose on the lien. The CDD bond obligations, including interest and the associated lien on the property, are typically payable, secured, and satisfied by revenues, fees, or assessments levied on the property benefited. The assessments to be levied by the CDD are fixed or determinable amounts.

The CDD bond obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2022 have fixed interest rates ranging from 2.40% to 3.75% and mature at various times during the years 2026 through 2052. The Company at its option has the ability to repay a specified portion of the bonds at the time that it sells developed lots in the Beacon Lakes Community.

Upon the issuance of CDD bond obligations by the Beacon Lakes CDD, the Company records an obligation for the CDD bond obligations with a corresponding increase in other assets. The CDD bonds are secured by a lien on the Beacon Lakes property. The Company relieves the CDD bond obligation associated with a particular parcel when the purchaser of the property assumes the obligation, which occurs automatically upon such purchaser’s acquisition of the property, or upon the repayment of the obligation by the Company. Included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of construction funds receivable from the issuance of CDD bond obligations that the Company does not have the right of setoff on its CDD bond obligations. Construction funds receivable associated with the CDD bond obligations are reduced with a corresponding increase in real estate inventory when the CDD disburses the funds to contractors for the construction of infrastructure improvements.

Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD Bank”) 

Since May 2017, Renin has maintained a credit facility with TD Bank, and in October 2020, Renin amended and restated the facility in connection with the acquisition of Colonial Elegance.

Under the terms and conditions of the initial credit facility, TD Bank provided loans under a revolving operating loan for up to approximately $16.3 million based on available collateral, as defined in the facility, and subject to Renin’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the facility, including certain specific financial covenants. Through February 2020, the credit facility also provided for term loans for up to $1.7 million. However, in February 2020, the credit facility was amended to replace the existing debt service coverage ratio with an interest coverage ratio, and in connection with the amendment to the credit facility, Renin repaid the outstanding balance of the term loans with borrowings from the revolving operating loan. In July 2020, the credit facility was also amended to extend the maturity date of the facility from September 2020 to September 2022.

In connection with the acquisition of Colonial Elegance in 2020, Renin amended and restated the credit facility with TD Bank (the “TD Bank credit facility” or the “credit facility”) to include a term loan with an initial principal balance of $30.0 million increase the availability under its existing revolving line of credit with TD Bank to $20.0 million, and extend the maturity of the credit facility to October 2025. Renin utilized $30.0 million of proceeds under the term loan and approximately $8.0 million of proceeds under the revolving line of credit in connection with the acquisition of Colonial Elegance.

In July 2021, Renin’s credit facility with TD Bank was amended effective June 30, 2021 to temporarily increase the availability under the revolving line of credit from $20.0 million to $24.0 million through December 31, 2021. In addition, the amendment to the credit facility temporarily increased the maximum total leverage ratio included in the financial covenants of the facility but prohibited Renin from making distributions to BBX Capital through July 1, 2022, at which time the leverage ratio and Renin’s ability to make distributions to the Company was to revert to the requirements under the facility immediately prior to the amendment.

In November 2021, the TD Bank credit facility was further amended effective September 30, 2021 to extend the prior increase in the availability under the revolving line of credit from $20.0 million to $24.0 million through December 31, 2022, at which time the availability under the line of credit was to revert to $20.0 million and any amounts outstanding in excess of $20.0 million was to be repaid by Renin. The amendments to the credit facility also (i) waived the requirement for Renin to comply with certain ratios included in the financial covenants of the credit facility, (ii) temporarily increased the maximum total leverage ratio included in the financial covenants of the facility through December 31, 2022, (iii) modified the calculation of the maximum total leverage ratio, and (iv) included an additional financial covenant related to Renin meeting certain minimum levels of specified operating results from November 2021 through December 2022. Further, the amendments prohibited Renin from making distributions to BBX Capital through December 31, 2022. On January 1, 2023, the financial covenants under the facility and Renin’s ability to make distributions to the Company were to revert to the requirements under the facility prior to the amendments in 2021.

However, as Renin was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under the facility from January through March 2022, the TD Bank credit facility was further amended on May 9, 2022 to (i) require $13.5 million of funding from BBX Capital to provide Renin funds to prepay $10.0 million of the term loan and to provide additional working capital to Renin of $3.5 million, (ii) waive compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio included in the financial covenants of the facility until December 31, 2022, (iii) waive compliance with the financial covenant requiring Renin to meet certain minimum levels of specified operating results for January through March 2022, (iv) adjust the required minimum levels of specified operating results through December 31, 2022 beginning in April 2022, and (v) amend the modification period to the later of December 31, 2022 or upon Renin’s compliance with specified financial covenant ratios. The amendment also increased the interest rates on amounts outstanding under the term loan and revolving line of credit during the modification period to (i) the Canadian Prime Rate plus a spread of 3.375% per annum, (ii) the United States Base Rate plus a spread of 3.00% per annum, or (iii) Term SOFR or Canadian Bankers’ Acceptance Rate plus a spread of 4.875% per annum. Under the terms of the amendment, the Term SOFR Rate for loans with one to six-months terms are also subject to an additional credit spread adjustment of 10 to 25 basis points per annum. Renin issued a $13.5 million promissory note to BBX Capital upon execution of the amendment on May 9, 2022, and pursuant to the terms of the amendment, BBX Capital funded $13.5 million of the note to Renin in May 2022. BBX Capital and Renin entered into a subordination, assignment, and postponement agreement with TD Bank that requires all present and future loans or advances from BBX Capital to Renin (including the $13.5 million promissory note) be subordinated and repayments postponed until the TD Bank credit facility has been paid or satisfied in full.

As of June 30, 2022 and continuing through January 2023, Renin was not in compliance with the financial covenants under the credit facility which required Renin to meet certain minimum levels of specified operating results, and while TD Bank continued to allow Renin to utilize its revolving line of credit, TD Bank sent formal notices of default to Renin between August 2022 and January 2023. 

On February 3, 2023, the credit facility was further amended effective January 31, 2023 to, among other things, (i) temporarily increase the availability under the revolving line of credit from $20.0 million to $22.0 million from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, (ii) require $8.0 million of funding from BBX Capital (including amounts funded by BBX Capital during the period from December 2022 through the date of the amendment) to provide Renin funds to prepay the term loan by no less than $1.5 million and to provide additional working capital to Renin, (iii) waive Renin’s non-compliance with the financial covenants under the credit facility through the date of the amendment, (iv) establish a financial covenant requiring Renin to meet minimum levels of specified operating results from January 2023 through December 2023, (v) redefine the maximum total leverage ratio financial covenant under the credit facility and waive the requirement to comply with the covenant until January 1, 2024, (vi) waive the requirement to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant until January 1, 2024, and (vii) amend the modification period to the later of December 31, 2023 or upon Renin’s compliance with specified financial covenant ratios. The amendment also reduced the interest rates on amounts outstanding under the credit facility during the modification period to (i) the Canadian Prime Rate plus a spread of 2.875% per annum, (ii) the United States Base Rate plus a spread of 2.50% per annum, or (iii) Term SOFR or Canadian Bankers’ Acceptance Rate plus a spread of 4.375% per annum. Under the terms of the amendment, the Term SOFR Rate for loans with one to six-months terms are also subject to an additional credit spread adjustment of 10 to 25 basis points per annum. However, the amendment also increased the interest rates on amounts outstanding under the credit facility by 50 basis points per annum during any periods in which the loan is in default.

In December 2022, BBX Capital contributed $1.0 million of capital to Renin, and in connection with the execution of the amendment, BBX Capital contributed $7.0 million of additional capital to Renin pursuant to the terms of the amendment. Renin elected to use a portion of such funds to prepay $2.5 million of the term loan.

If Renin again falls out of compliance and is unable to obtain additional waivers or modifications of the credit facility, Renin may lose availability under its revolving line of credit, be required to provide additional collateral, or repay all or a portion of its borrowings, any of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position, and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2022, the amounts outstanding under the TD Bank credit facility were $19.8 million under the revolving line of credit and $14.7 million under the term loan.

Renin has guaranteed the obligations of the borrowers under the credit facility, and the facility is collateralized by all of Renin’s assets. In addition, the Company entered into a Pledge Agreement pursuant to which it pledged all of its membership interests in Renin as security for the borrower’s obligations under the amended and restated credit facility.

IberiaBank Revolving Line of Credit - LOCS Credit Facility

In July 2021, BBX Sweet Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries, including Las Olas Confections and Snacks, entered into a credit agreement (the “LOCS Credit Facility”) with IberiaBank which provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $2.5 million that matures in July 2023. Amounts outstanding under the LOCS Credit Facility bear interest at the higher of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 50 basis points or 3.0% per annum, and the facility requires monthly payments of interest only, with any outstanding principal and accrued interest due at the maturity date. The LOCS Credit Facility is collateralized by a blanket lien on all of the assets of the borrowers under the facility and is guaranteed by BBX Capital. The facility contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum liquidity requirement for BBX Capital as guarantor under the facility and a requirement that the borrowers must maintain a zero balance on the facility for thirty consecutive days during each calendar year during the term of the facility. As of December 31, 2022, BBX Sweet Holdings was in compliance with all financial covenants under the LOCS Credit Facility.

IberiaBank Note

In August 2021, BBX Sweet Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries, including The Hoffman Commercial Group, Inc., borrowed $1.4 million from IberiaBank and issued a note payable to IberiaBank (the “IberiaBank Note”). The IberiaBank Note was secured by land and buildings owned by The Hoffman Commercial Group, Inc. and was guaranteed by BBX Capital. In March 2022, The Hoffman Commercial Group, Inc. closed on the sale of the land and building held as collateral, and the IberiaBank Note was repaid-in-full. 

Regions Bank Revolving Line of Credit - IT'SUGAR Credit Facility

In January 2023, IT'SUGAR entered into a credit agreement (the “IT'SUGAR Credit Facility”) with Regions Bank which provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $5.0 million that matures in June 2024. Amounts outstanding under the IT'SUGAR Credit Facility bear interest at the higher of a rate equal to the Regions Bank Prime Rate minus 1.50% per annum or 0% per annum, and the facility requires monthly payments of interest only, with any outstanding principal and accrued interest due at the maturity date.
