Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 3, 2007, the Board of Directors of Levitt Corporation (the “Company”) amended
Article VI of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to allow for the issuance of
uncertificated shares of the Company’s capital stock. The Board of Directors adopted this
amendment, which became effective on December 3, 2007, in response to new Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and New York Stock Exchange listing standards which require securities listed on
the New York Stock Exchange to be eligible for a direct registration system by January 2008.
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Bylaws, as amended by such amendment, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. This copy has been “black-lined” to
show such amendment to the Bylaws.
