Wintergreen
made its first investment in shares of CTO in February
2006.
|
|
·
|
In
March 2006, Wintergreen met with CTO management and initiated discussions
to maximize the value of certain Daytona Beach properties in Volusia
County. Please see Wintergreen’s Schedule 13D (“Schedule 13D”),
filed May 4, 2006.
|
|
·
|
On
January 17, 2007, Wintergreen sent a letter to CTO’s Corporate Secretary
requesting that CTO consider adding James E. Jordan as a director of CTO,
who Wintergreen believed would provide the Board with valuable management
experience, including relevant experience in real estate
matters. During this time, Wintergreen also continued its
dialogue with CTO regarding the development of the Volusia county
properties. James E. Jordan was subsequently elected to the
Company’s Board at the Company’s 2007 annual meeting of shareholders with
the support of the Company’s Board. Please see Amendment No. 4 to Schedule
13D, filed January 19, 2007 – Exhibit
B.
|
|
·
|
On
October 1, 2007, Wintergreen sent a letter to CTO’s Corporate Secretary
and the Board requesting that CTO consider adding Adolfo Henriques as a
director of CTO, who Wintergreen believed would provide the Board with
valuable management experience, including relevant experience in real
estate matters and oversight of financial and accounting best
practices. During this time, Wintergreen also continued its
dialogue with CTO regarding the development of the Volusia County
properties. Please see Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D, filed October 23,
2007 – Exhibit B.
|
|
·
|
On
January 21, 2008, Wintergreen sent a letter to CTO and the Board
highlighting significant concerns with CTO’s business strategy and
expressing its disappointment that, although Wintergreen had encouraged
management to unlock shareholder value by exploring certain strategic
alternatives, over the course of twenty-three months of accumulating CTO’s
stock, Wintergreen had seen no
progress. Wintergreen highlighted in the letter
several areas where progress reasonably should have been made as of that
date: (i) a re-alignment of management compensation to correlate with the
achievement of stated goals rather than the sale of properties; (ii) a
review of the growth and level of operating costs; (iii) the hiring of
outside advisors to address CTO’s long term goals; (iv) an improvement in
corporate governance by separating the role of chairperson of the Board
from management; (v) the hiring of forensic accountants to review the past
years’ activities, including conflicts of interest and travel and
entertainment expenses; (vi) improving public disclosure regarding actions
taken to improve shareholder value; and (vii) a review of CTO’s
activities, particularly, management’s ability to unilaterally enter into
land sale arrangements in an environment where such transactions may not
be appropriate. Please see Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D,
filed January 22, 2008 – Exhibit B.
|
|
·
|
On
February 6, 2008, Wintergreen sent a letter to CTO and the Board
requesting that the Board increase the number of directors and proposing
three candidates to fill the additional Board
seats. Wintergreen stated that an increase in the number of
directors would allow the Board to assist with the initiatives that were
outlined in its letter dated January 21, 2008. Please see
Amendment No. 13 to Schedule 13D, filed February 7, 2008 – Exhibit
B.
|
|
·
|
On
February 6, 2008, Wintergreen also delivered a shareholder proposal to
CTO. In the proposal, Wintergreen sought a requirement that the
chairperson of the Board be an independent
director. Wintergreen reiterated the goal of increasing value
for all CTO shareholders through the separation of the role of chairperson
and Chief Executive Officer. Please see Amendment No. 13 to
Schedule 13D, filed February 7, 2008 – Exhibit
C.
|
|
·
|
On
March 10, 2008, CTO sent Wintergreen a reply to its letters dated January
21, 2008 and February 6, 2008. Please see the Company’s
Schedule 14A, filed March 11, 2008.
|
|
·
|
On
March 17, 2008, CTO filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating that James E. Jordan notified the Board of his decision
to resign from the Board. In his resignation letter, Mr. Jordan
stated that among the reasons for his resignation was the Board’s mistaken
decision to combine the titles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as
this decision is contrary to generally accepted best practices in
corporate governance. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K, filed March 17,
2008 - Exhibit 17.1.
|
|
·
|
On
April 21, 2008, Wintergreen sent a letter to CTO and the Board requesting
that CTO postpone the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders (the “2008 Annual
Meeting”) scheduled for April 23, 2008 until at least July 22,
2008. Wintergreen requested the postponement of the 2008 Annual
Meeting in order for the Board to demonstrate that the Corporate
Governance Committee properly interviewed and nominated independent
director candidates that are truly independent. Wintergreen
stated its belief that several of the proposed independent directors had
conflicts of interests and connections with CTO, which were
not fully disclosed in CTO’s proxy statement. Wintergreen also
noted that CTO rejected one of its proposed candidates due to meeting
schedule conflicts and did not interview the three additional proposed
candidates despite the fact that there was a current Board vacancy to be
filled. Please see Amendment No. 14 to Schedule 13D, filed
April 22, 2008 – Exhibit
B.
|
|
·
|
On
May 14, 2008, CTO sent Wintergreen a reply letter denying its request to
postpone the 2008 Annual Meeting. Please see the Company’s Form
8-K, filed May 15, 2008 – Exhibit
99.1.
|
|
·
|
On
May 19, 2008, Wintergreen sent a letter to CTO’s Corporate Secretary
nominating a candidate to fill a Board vacancy and nominating other
qualified substitute candidates to fill the Board vacancy in the event
that Wintergreen’s nominee was unsuccessful or there were future vacancies
on the Board. Please see Amendment No. 15 to Schedule 13D,
filed May 21, 2008 – Exhibit B.
|
|
·
|
On
May 30, 2008, Wintergreen made a demand to inspect CTO’s corporate records
pursuant to Section 607.1602, Florida Statutes to determine whether CTO’s
affairs were being properly administered by its corporate officers and to
determine the stock value. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K,
filed November 21, 2008 – Exhibit
99.2.
|
|
·
|
From
June 12, 2008 to July 15, 2008, Wintergreen conducted an inspection
pursuant to this demand at CTO’s principal place of
business. The records produced by CTO were
incomplete.
|
|
·
|
On
August 29, 2008, Wintergreen sent a letter to CTO which provided CTO with
detailed examples of types of information that were missing from CTO’s
initial demand response. Wintergreen’s counsel sent a separate letter to
CTO’s counsel informing them of the deficiencies in the record production
and made a second demand for inspection of corporate
records. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K, filed November 21,
2008 – Exhibit 99.3.
|
|
·
|
On
September 8, 2008, Wintergreen’s counsel sent another letter to CTO’s
counsel requesting access to the corporate records after Wintergreen was
informed by CTO’s counsel that they would not comply with its
request.
|
|
·
|
On
September 16, 2008, CTO’s counsel sent Wintergreen’s counsel a letter in
which it stated that CTO was gathering the documents that it had failed to
produce in response to Wintergreen’s initial request on May 30,
2008.
|
|
·
|
On
October 17, 2008, CTO sent Wintergreen a letter in which they provided
incomplete responses to several of the requests made in Wintergreen’s
second document demand. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K,
filed November 21, 2008 – Exhibit
99.4.
|
|
·
|
On
October 24, 2008, CTO sent Wintergreen a letter advising of a vacancy on
the Board and requesting Wintergreen’s input regarding a candidate to fill
this vacancy. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K, filed November
21, 2008 – Exhibit 99.5.
|
|
·
|
On
October 29, 2008, Wintergreen responded to CTO’s letter advising of the
Board vacancy and expressed its regret that this Board vacancy had not
been filled by CTO for six months. However, Wintergreen
expressed its willingness to meet with CTO management to discuss the Board
vacancy and requested information about the proposed candidates to
adequately prepare for such meeting. Please see the Company’s
Form 8-K, filed November 21, 2008 – Exhibit
99.6.
|
|
·
|
On
October 31, 2008, CTO replied to Wintergreen’s letter and enclosed the
requested information regarding the two nominees for the Board
vacancy. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K, filed November 21,
2008 – Exhibit 99.7.
|
|
·
|
On
November 11, 2008, CTO provided Wintergreen with a proposed settlement and
standstill agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement offered to fill a
current vacancy with a candidate proposed by Wintergreen as well as add an
additional candidate proposed by Wintergreen to the Company’s slate of
nominees for the 2009 Annual Meeting. In exchange (among other things),
the Company sought Wintergreen’s agreement that, for a period of
approximately three years, Wintergreen would not: (i) effect or seek to
effect any tender or exchange offer, merger, acquisition or other business
combination, or any form of recapitalization or similar transaction with
respect to the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) acquire any voting
securities of the Company if it would result in Wintergreen beneficially
owning more than 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock; (iii) act alone or in
concert to seek to control or influence the Board or management or
policies of the Company; (iv) propose any matter for submission to a vote
of shareholders of the Company; (v) vote for any matter submitted to a
vote of the shareholders of the Company that is proposed by a third party;
or (iv) make or issue any public statement in support of any proxy
solicitation other than a proxy solicitation by the Company. Wintergreen
responded with a revised Agreement on November 17, 2008, which (among
other things) requested an additional nominee be added to the Company’s
slate (which would have resulted in three Wintergreen nominees on the
Company’s slate for the 2009 Annual Meeting), and generally eliminated any
significant proposed constraints on purchasing additional voting shares,
voting its shares or seeking to control or
influence the Board, management or policies of the Company. Wintergreen
believes these rights to be central to carrying out the fiduciary duties
owed to the interest holders in the Wintergreen Funds and essential in
connection with the exercise of a shareholder’s voice. Wintergreen deems
these rights to be too crucial to give up. In addition, Wintergreen sought
the Company’s agreement to separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer
and chairman of the Board and to name one of its proposed candidates as
chairman of the Board, for the reasons outlined below. For more detail on
the correspondence outlined herein, please see the Company’s Form 8-K,
filed November 21, 2008 – Exhibits 99.8 and
99.9.
|
|
·
|
On
November 19, 2008, CTO informed Wintergreen that CTO rejected the revised
Agreement. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K, filed November
21, 2008 – Exhibit 99.1.
|
|
·
|
On
November 20, 2008, Wintergreen submitted three shareholder proposals to
CTO: (i) to nominate four independent candidates for the Board;
(ii) to request the Board take all steps necessary to de-classify the
Board and require annual election of all directors; and (iii) to request
that the Board adopt a policy requiring that the chairperson of the Board
be an independent director. Please see Amendment No. 17 to
Schedule 13D, filed November 28, 2008 – Exhibit
B.
|
|
·
|
On
November 21, 2008, CTO issued a press release announcing that its Board
reviewed and rejected Wintergreen’s shareholder proposals of November 20,
2008. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K, filed November 21,
2008 – Exhibit 99.1.
|
|
·
|
On
November 25, 2008, CTO’s counsel informed Wintergreen’s counsel that CTO
would not produce any further
documents.
|
|
·
|
On
December 22, 2008, Wintergreen sent a letter to CTO’s Corporate Secretary
in response to comments made by CTO in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
November 21, 2008. In this letter, Wintergreen reiterated its
commitment to pursuing initiatives that are in the best interests of all
the shareholders. In this letter, Wintergreen also sought to
correct several inaccuracies contained in the public letter that CTO filed
such as: the circumstances that surrounded its decision to
decline CTO’s offer of two Board seats due to unacceptable terms in the
Agreement that would have required Wintergreen to forego many crucial
shareholder rights; to reiterate that Wintergreen seeks to have
a Board whose loyalties lie with the shareholders and the
Company rather than with management; that Wintergreen’s proposal for
annual Board elections is a means of improving corporate governance, not
gaining control over the Board; to correct a mischaracterization regarding
the circumstances of the resignation of a Wintergreen-nominated Board
member who resigned at least in part due to his negative view of the
Board’s conduct; and to reiterate its concern regarding CTO’s business
strategy including a review of the income property portfolio, review of
land sales, dividend declarations and development prospects in Volusia
County. Wintergreen also stated that CTO is in violation of a
Florida Statute and its corporate By-Laws by refusing to fully comply with
Wintergreen’s demand to inspect corporate books and
records. Please see Amendment No. 18 to Schedule 13D, filed
December 23, 2008 – Exhibits B and
C.
|
|
·
|
On
December 31, 2008, Wintergreen filed an application for a court ordered
inspection of CTO’s records with the Volusia County Circuit Court in
Florida (the “Court”). The Court subsequently scheduled a
hearing for February 17, 2009. Please see Amendment No. 19 to
Schedule 13D, filed January 12, 2009 – Exhibit
B.
|
|
·
|
On
February 12, 2009, CTO filed a Motion to Postpone the hearing on
Wintergreen's application to inspect the corporate books and
records.
|
|
·
|
On
February 17, 2009, the Court ruled that it would grant CTO's Motion to
Postpone the hearing on Wintergreen's application to inspect the corporate
books and records. The court indicated, however, that it would
only postpone the hearing for approximately 45 days to allow CTO to take
any discovery it claims it needs to challenge Wintergreen's proper purpose
and good faith concerning the inspection
request.
|
|
·
|
On
March 2, 2009, CTO filed its preliminary proxy
statement. Please see the Company’s Schedule 14A, filed March
2, 2009.
|
|
·
|
On
March 3, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had
amended its By-Laws to increase the number of directors constituting the
Board from nine to eleven, and would be nominating on the Company’s slate
of directors, Mr. John J. Allen and Mr. Jeffrey B. Fuqua, two of the
nominees proposed by Wintergreen in its shareholder proposal of November
20, 2008. Please see the Company’s Form 8-K, filed March 3,
2009 – Exhibits 3.2 and 99.1.
