FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
MARGARITAVILLE EXPRESSES “TOTAL SUPPORT” FOR CONSOLIDATED-TOMOKA BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN CONNECTION WITH 2017 ANNUAL MEETING
Another Major CTO Relationship Publicly Supports
Follows Announcement by Long-Term Shareholder J. Hyatt Brown of Intention to Vote FOR CTO Director Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card
|
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – April 3, 2017 – Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE: CTO) (the “Company” or “CTO”) today announced that Margaritaville Holdings (“Margaritaville”), has delivered a letter of support of the Company’s Board of Directors and management team in connection with the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Margaritaville is a key business partner for CTO and is currently the brand of a new active adult community, Latitude Margaritaville, in Daytona Beach on approximately 1,600 acres recently sold by CTO and has signed a lease for a to be built Land Shark Bar & Grill on the Company’s beach property. Margaritaville joins CTO long-term shareholder J. Hyatt Brown, Chairman of Brown & Brown, Inc., in its support for CTO’s Board of Directors and management team.
The full text of the letter from Margaritaville to CTO’s Board of Directors, dated March 22, 2017, follows:
To the Board of Directors:
Please accept this letter as a sign of total support for the current Board of Directors and management team of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. We have been engaged with the management team over the past year, related to multiple investment opportunities, most notably the recent announcement of our very first Latitude Margaritaville development with Minto Communities, as well as, separately announcing a LandShark Bar and Grill restaurant on Consolidated-Tomoka’s beach front parcel.
Latitude Margaritaville is a defining moment for Margaritaville Holdings and could not have been possible without the management team at Consolidated-Tomoka. We believe this first ever 1,600-acre retirement community located in Daytona Beach will be transformative to the area, and has already been very well received by potential new residents. Mr. Albright was instrumental in bringing Margaritaville and Minto Communities together to create this exciting relationship.
Additionally, developing a new LandShark Bar & Grill directly on the beach will be another terrific opportunity to bring another one of our brands to the community. Not only will we deliver great food and fun, we will provide a unique beachfront setting that will create a new excitement to the World’s Most Famous Beach.
In conclusion, all our opportunities in Daytona Beach have been made possible by the Consolidated-Tomoka management team. Had it not been specifically for this team we would not have these great opportunities, nor known or considered Daytona Beach as a potential market.
Best Regards,
Jim Wiseman
President of Development, Margaritaville
