Levan, a director of BVH and Bluegreen and former President of BVH, and Seth M. Wise, a director of Bluegreen and former Executive Vice President and director of BVH. Together, they may be deemed to beneficially own shares of BVH’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing approximately 79% of BVH’s total voting power. In addition, Raymond S. Lopez, BVH’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, also serves as Bluegreen’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo and Mr. Lopez receive a significant portion of their compensation from Bluegreen on behalf of BVH and Bluegreen. Further, in connection with the spin-off of BBX Capital during September 2020, Mr. Jarett Levan became the Chief Executive Officer and President and a director of BBX Capital, Mr. Alan Levan became the Chairman of BBX Capital, Mr. Abdo became Vice Chairman of BBX Capital and Seth M. Wise became Executive Vice President and a director of BBX Capital. Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo, Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise may also be deemed to control BBX Capital Inc. through their ownership of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
See also “Our Business” under Note 1 above for information regarding the statutory short-form merger effected on May 5, 2021, pursuant to which BVH acquired all of the approximately 7% of the outstanding shares of Bluegreen’s common stock that BVH did not previously beneficially own and Bluegreen became a wholly owned subsidiary of BVH.
Bluegreen paid or reimbursed BVH $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively for management advisory, risk management, administrative and other services. BVH had $0.3 million in accrued expenses for the services described above as of March 31, 2021. There were no amounts accrued for such services as of December 31, 2020.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid Abdo Companies, Inc. $38,000 and $77,000, respectively, in exchange for certain management services. John E. Abdo, the Company’s Vice Chairman, is the principal shareholder and Chief Executive Officer of Abdo Companies, Inc.
In connection with its spin-off of BBX Capital, BVH issued a $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital. See Note 7 for a description of the terms of BVH’s note payable to BBX Capital.
In connection with the spin-off, BVH also entered into a Transition Services Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement and Employee Matters Agreement with BBX Capital.
The Transition Services Agreement generally sets out the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of BVH and BBX Capital with respect to the support services to be provided to one another after the spin-off, as may be necessary to ensure an orderly transition. The Transition Services Agreement establishes a baseline charge for certain categories or components of services to be provided, which will be at cost unless the parties mutually agree to a different charge. The Transition Services Agreement was effective on September 30, 2020 and will continue for a minimum term of one year, provided that after that year, BVH or BBX Capital may terminate the Transition Services Agreement with respect to any or all services provided thereunder at any time upon thirty days prior written notice to the other party. Either party may renew or extend the term of the Transition Services Agreement with respect to the provision of any service which has not been previously terminated. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, BBX Capital reimbursed BVH $0.2 million under this agreement.
The Tax Matters Agreement generally sets out the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of BVH and BBX Capital with respect to taxes (including taxes arising in the ordinary course of business and taxes incurred as a result of the spin-off), tax attributes, tax returns, tax contests, and certain other related tax matters. The Tax Matters Agreement allocates responsibility for the preparation and filing of certain tax returns (and the payment of taxes reflected thereon). Under the Tax Matters Agreement, BVH will generally be liable for its own taxes and taxes of all of its subsidiaries (other than the taxes of BBX Capital and its subsidiaries, for which BBX Capital shall be liable) for all tax periods (or portion thereof) ending on September 30, 2020, the effective date of the spin-off. BBX Capital will be responsible for its taxes, including for taxes of its subsidiaries, as well as for taxes of BVH arising as a result of the spin-off (including any taxes resulting from an election under Section 336(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) in connection with the spin-off). BBX Capital, Inc. will bear liability for any transfer taxes incurred in the spin-off. Each of BVH and BBX Capital will indemnify each other against any taxes to the extent paid by one party but allocated to the other party under the Tax Matters Agreement, or arising from any breach of its covenants thereunder, and related out-of-pocket costs and expenses.
