Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On March 21, 2007, Levitt and Sons, LLC (LAS), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a
$100 million Revolving Working Capital, Land Acquisition, Development and Residential Construction
Borrowing Base Facility Agreement (Facility). On March 21, 2007, LAS borrowed $30.2 million
under the Facility and the proceeds were used to finance an intercompany sale of a 150 acre parcel
in Tradition South Carolina from Core Communities, LLC to LAS (by repaying outstanding acquisition
indebtedness on the property owed to Core Communities) and to refinance a $15 million line of
credit. The Facility is due and payable on March 21, 2011 and may be extended for an additional
year at the discretion of the financial institution annually at the anniversary date of the
Facility. The Facility is secured by a mortgage on the 150 acre parcel in Tradition South Carolina
and by a guarantee of the Company. The Companys guarantee of
the $15 million working capital component of the Facility is
secured by a pledge of the Companys membership interest in LAS. The guarantee and the pledge of
the membership interest can be released by payment in full of any amounts outstanding under the $15
million working capital component. Repayment of the working capital
component would serve to reduce the Facility by a
corresponding amount and termination of the working capital provisions of the Facility. Interest
accrues under the Facility at the Prime Rate and is payable monthly. The loan documents contain
customary conditions to funding, collateral release and acceleration provisions and financial,
affirmative and negative covenants.
