TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.04 Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plan
Levitt Corporation (“Levitt”) recently retained ING as the new investment and service provider
for Levitt’s 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”). As a result of the retention of a new service
provider, a conversion period is necessary to transition account and 401(k) Plan records. On
October 14, 2005, Levitt sent a notice to each of its employees informing them that in connection
with the conversion, there would be a blackout period under the 401(k) Plan during which no
individual account transactions can be processed. This blackout period is expected to begin on
November 16, 2005 and is expected to end January 6, 2006.
During the blackout period, the directors and executive officers of Levitt will be prohibited
from directly or indirectly purchasing, selling or otherwise transferring certain equity securities
of Levitt as described in the below-mentioned notice.
A copy of the notice sent to Levitt’s directors and executive officers is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
