Bluegreen Vacations Renews and Extends $40 Million Timeshare Receivables Loan

Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (NYSE: BXG) ("Bluegreen Vacations" or the “Company") today reported that on August 15, 2018, the Company renewed its revolving timeshare receivables hypothecation facility with Pacific Western Bank. The renewed credit facility agreement extends the revolving advance period which otherwise would have expired in September 2018 to now expiring in September 2021, with the facility maturing in September 2024. In each case, periods are subject to an additional 12-month extension at the option of Pacific Western Bank. Maximum permitted outstanding borrowings under the facility are $40 million, and, subject to the terms and conditions of the facility, approximately $19.8 million of the facility remained available as of August 15, 2018. Commencing on September 21, 2018, all borrowings outstanding under the Pacific Western Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 3.00%; provided, however, that to the extent the borrowings are in excess of established debt minimums, these borrowings will bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75%. This is a decrease from the current interest rate range of 30-day LIBOR plus 3.50% to 4.50%. Bluegreen plans to continue to use the facility to finance vacation ownership interest notes receivable.

"This extension continues to support our strategy of diversifying our sources of liquidity for VOI notes receivable and enhances our flexibility as we add new sales offices in key markets," said Tony Puleo, Bluegreen Vacations’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer. "We value our longstanding relationship with Pacific Western Bank, and we believe this extended financing will help continue to enable us to meet our capital needs as we grow our business."

Chris Hague, Group Head, of Lender Finance at Pacific Western Bank commented, “We are excited to continue our relationship with Bluegreen, and are committed to supporting their ongoing success in the vacation ownership industry.”
