Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On July 2, 2009, BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”) entered into a definitive agreement with Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (“Woodbridge”) which provides for Woodbridge to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. Under the terms of the merger agreement, which has been approved by a special committee of Woodbridge’s independent directors as well as the boards of directors of both BFC and Woodbridge, holders of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock (other than BFC) will receive 3.47 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock they hold at the effective time of the merger. BFC currently owns approximately 22% of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock and all of Woodbridge’s Class B Common Stock, representing approximately 59% of the total voting power of Woodbridge. The shares of Woodbridge’s common stock held by BFC will be canceled in the merger.

     The merger agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants on the part of BFC and Woodbridge. The merger agreement also provides for all seven of the directors of Woodbridge who are not also directors of BFC as well as Seth Wise, President of Woodbridge, and Jarett Levan, President of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Chief Executive Officer and President of BankAtlantic, to be appointed to BFC’s board of directors in connection with the merger. The current executive officers of BFC are anticipated to continue to serve as the executive officers of BFC following the merger and, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, Mr. Wise is expected to be appointed Executive Vice President of BFC.

     The consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary closing conditions, including the approval of both BFC’s and Woodbridge’s shareholders. The companies currently expect to consummate the merger prior to the end of 2009.

     The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On July 6, 2009, BFC and Woodbridge issued a joint press release announcing their entry into the merger agreement. A copy of the joint press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
