News Release

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE American:CTO) (the “Company”) today announced that the Company and Minto Communities (“Minto”) have agreed to an amendment to the contract for the sale of land to Minto Communities (the “Amended Minto II Contract”). The Amended Minto II Contract reduced the acres of land being sold to 1,614 acres (the “Second Parcel”) for a reduced purchase price of $26.5 million, which equates to a price per acre of approximately $16,400. The reduced acreage reflects the removal of certain acres the Company determined to retain to benefit certain other of its land parcels. The reduced price per acre reflects the impact of the resolution of the EPA matter regarding the wetlands impacts on the acreage covered by the original contract with Minto which, as a result, reduced the amount of useable acreage and the efficiency of the original design of Minto’s development thereby lowering Minto’s yield of buildable home sites and adversely impacting certain development costs associated with roadwork and similar design elements. Minto intends to utilize the Second Parcel for the second phase of their active adult community Latitude Margaritaville. The Amended Minto II Contract also accelerated the potential closing date to no later than December 14, 2018 based upon Minto obtaining the necessary development approvals and acknowledges that Minto’s inspection period has concluded. Pursuant to the Amended Minto II Contract, Minto has committed to spend a minimum of $300,000 for the purpose of obtaining the aforementioned development approvals.

The Amended Minto II Contract continued to provide Minto with the option to utilize financing from the Company to fund a portion of the purchase price, in the form of a secured mortgage loan (the “Secured Mortgage Loan”), however, the total financing available was reduced to 50% of the purchase price. The Secured Mortgage Loan would have a term of three years, would be effectively secured by the developable acres of land being acquired by Minto, and would bear a variable interest rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 6.00%.

As a result of the Amended Minto II Contract, the Company currently has seven (7) executed purchase and sale agreements with seven (7) different buyers, which in the aggregate represent the potential sale of nearly 2,000 acres, or approximately 25% of our land holdings, with anticipated sales proceeds of approximately $65 million, or approximately $32,000 per acre. Each of the transactions are in varying stages of due diligence by the various buyers including, in some instances, having made submissions to the planning and development departments of the City of Daytona Beach and other approval and permitting activities with other applicable governmental authorities. In addition to other customary closing conditions, most of the transactions are conditioned upon the receipt of approvals or permits from various governmental authorities, as well as other matters that are beyond the Company’s control. If such approvals are not obtained, the prospective buyers may have the ability to terminate their respective agreements prior to closing. As a result, there can be no assurances regarding the likelihood or timing of any of these potential land transactions being completed or the final terms thereof, including the sales price.
