Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit and Fifth Third Syndicated Term Loan. Bluegreen has a corporate credit facility which at December 31, 2021 included a $100.0 million term loan (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Loan”) with quarterly amortization requirements and a $125.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit”). In February 2022, Bluegreen amended and increased the facility to $300.0 million. The amended facility includes a $100.0 million term loan with quarterly amortization requirements and a $200.0 million revolving line of credit. Accordingly, the amendment and restatement increased the revolving line of credit by $75.0 million. Borrowings generally bear interest at a rate of term SOFR plus 1.75-2.50% and a 0.05%-0.10% credit spread adjustment,

depending on Bluegreen’s leverage ratio (as compared to LIBOR plus 2.00%-2.50% with a 0.25% LIBOR floor under the terms of the facility prior to the amendment and restatement). The amendment also extended the maturity date from October 2024 to February 2027. Borrowings are collateralized by certain VOI inventory, sales center buildings, management fees, short-term receivables and cash flows from residual interests relating to certain term securitizations.

In connection with the 2022 Term Securitization described below, we repaid in full the 2013 Term Securitization notes payable during April 2022. 

In April 2022, Bluegreen completed a private offering and sale of $172.0 million of VOI receivable-backed notes (the “2022 Term Securitization”). The 2022 Term Securitization consisted of the issuance of three tranches of VOI receivable-backed notes (collectively, the “Notes”) as follows: $71.0 million of Class A Notes, $56.5 million of Class B Notes, and $44.5 million of Class C Notes. The interest rates on the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and Class C Notes are 4.12%, 4.61% and 5.35%, respectively, which blends to an overall weighted average note interest rate of approximately 4.60%. The gross advance rate for this transaction was 88.3%. The Notes mature in September 2037.

Approximately $194.7 million of VOI receivables were sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2022-A (the “Trust”) in the transaction. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust were $171.9 million. A portion of the proceeds received at the closing were used to: repay $53.2 million under the Key Bank/DZ Purchase Facility, representing all amounts outstanding under the facility at that time; repay $11.0 million under the Liberty Bank Facility; repay $16.1 million under the Pacific Western Bank Facility; capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. Prior to the closing of the 2022 Term Securitization, Bluegreen, as servicer, funded $4.9 million in connection with the servicer redemption of the notes related to the 2013 Term Securitization, as described above, and certain of the VOI notes in such trust were sold to the Trust in connection with the 2022 Term Securitization. The remainder of the gross proceeds from the 2022 Term Securitization were used for general corporate purposes.

 

Subject to performance of the collateral, Bluegreen will receive any excess cash flows generated by the receivables transferred under the 2022 Term Securitization (excess meaning after payments of customary fees, interest and principal under the 2022 Term Securitization) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI loans.

 

While ownership of the VOI receivables included in the 2022 Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the transaction.

Except as described above, there were no new debt issuances or significant changes related to the above listed facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the receivable-backed notes payable facilities listed above.

Note Payable to BBX Capital

On September 30, 2020, the Company spun-off its subsidiary, BBX Capital, Inc. (“BBX Capital”). As a result of the spin-off, BBX Capital became a separate publicly traded company. In connection with the spin-off, the Company issued a $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital that accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires payments of interest on a quarterly basis. Under the terms of the note, BVH has the option in its discretion to defer interest payments under the note, with interest on the entire outstanding balance thereafter to accrue at a cumulative, compounded rate of 8% per annum until such time as all accrued payments under the note are brought current, including deferred interest. As of June 30, 2022, $50.0 million was outstanding. All outstanding amounts under the note will become due and payable in September 2025 or earlier upon certain other events.
