Bluegreen Corporation Extends Maturities and Terms of Existing Credit Facilities

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG) ("Bluegreen"), a leading provider of Colorful
Places to Live and Play®, today announced that it has reached separate
agreements with its lenders that extend, in the aggregate, the maturities of
approximately $130.1 million of liabilities under existing credit facilities.
The Company also extended the revolving advance period under an existing $150
million revolving timeshare receivables purchase facility.

The maturities of approximately $8.0 million of debt due in July 2009 and
approximately $49.6 million of debt due September 2009 under an existing
Bluegreen Communities credit facility with RFC Construction Funding, LLC (the
"GMAC Communities Facility") have been extended to December 2012. The maturity
of approximately $70.8 million of indebtedness due on the Bluegreen Club 36
project loan under the Resorts Acquisition, Development & Construction facility
with GMAC Commercial Finance, LLC (the "GMAC A,D&C Facility") was extended from
November 2011 to June 2012. Both the GMAC Communities Facility and the GMAC
A,D&C Facility have periodic minimum amortization requirements at various times
prior to their respective final maturities.

Bluegreen extended by one year, through June 29, 2010, the revolving advance
period under its existing timeshare receivables purchase facility with Branch
Banking and Trust Company ("BB&T"). This facility allows for the transfer of
notes receivable for a cumulative purchase price of up to $150 million, on a
revolving, non-recourse basis, pursuant to the terms of the facility and subject
to certain conditions precedent. As this facility currently has approximately
$141.2 million outstanding, the current availability under the facility is
approximately $8.8 million. However, additional funding may, subject to the
terms of the facility, be available (up to $150 million) as the facility is paid
down from a portion of the cash flows received from the timeshare receivables
sold under the facility. Bluegreen currently expects that this extension, along
with its other existing receivables-backed credit facilities, should provide
adequate receivables capacity at Bluegreen`s expected sales pace for at least
the next year.

Bluegreen also extended by five years, to May 2014, the maturity of a $1.7
million loan issued by GreenBank and its predecessor, which was used for the
acquisition of a resort property in Sevierville, TN. This loan will amortize
quarterly on a straight-line basis throughout its term.

John M. Maloney Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Bluegreen,
commented, "We appreciate the support of GMAC and GreenBank in extending these
debt maturities and of BB&T in providing potential additional access to funding
to help us advance our strategic initiatives. We value our ongoing relationships
with these and all of our lenders."
