Urges Shareholders to Vote “FOR” All Seven of CTO’s Experienced Directors on the WHITE Proxy Card Today

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT: CTO) (the “Company” or “CTO”) today mailed a letter to the Company’s shareholders in connection with its upcoming 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on April 26, 2017. The letter urges CTO shareholders to vote “FOR” all of the Company’s seven experienced and highly qualified director nominees.

All materials regarding the Board’s recommendation for the Annual Meeting can be found at www.VoteCTO.com. The full text of the letter follows:

VOTE FOR ALL OF THE CTO DIRECTOR NOMINEES
ON THE WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY

April 11, 2017

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

The Company’s upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 26, 2017 will provide you with an opportunity to determine which director nominees will best serve the interests of ALL CTO shareholders.

We urge you to vote today by telephone, online or by signing and dating the enclosed WHITE proxy card “FOR” all of the Company’s director nominees - John P. Albright, John J. Allen, Laura M. Franklin, William L. Olivari, Howard C. Serkin, Thomas P. Warlow, III and Casey R. Wold - the most highly qualified and experienced directors for CTO.

THE CTO BOARD IS INDEPENDENT, EXPERIENCED AND
FOCUSED ON THE BEST INTERESTS OF ALL CTO SHAREHOLDERS

The CTO Board has the leadership, real estate and financial experience necessary to continue executing our proven strategy. The Board also has the independent perspective that ensures CTO is always acting in the best interests of you – our shareholders. See for yourself:

Meanwhile, Wintergreen Advisers (“Wintergreen”), on behalf of Wintergreen Fund (the “Wintergreen Fund”), is asking you to vote for four nominees who have NO relevant real estate experience and NO credible plan. Further, two of its nominees would have clear conflicts between their duties to the Wintergreen Fund and their duties to other CTO shareholders. Consider the following:

Wintergreen’s nominees have no experience running a public company, serving on a public company board, or owning, operating or managing commercial real estate assets.

Furthermore, it is important to know that each of Wintergreen’s nominees has either worked for or consulted to Wintergreen. This means that, at a minimum, David Winters and Liz Cohernour will have clear conflicts of interest between their duties to the Wintergreen Fund and their fiduciary duties and responsibilities to all other CTO shareholders. Consider that, if elected, Wintergreen’s nominees will control both the audit and governance committees, without independent oversight. Wintergreen has acknowledged this conflict and expects shareholders to trust that Wintergreen will “manage” its conflicts “fairly.”

Your Board has consistently demonstrated its commitment to acting in the best interests of all CTO shareholders, not simply Wintergreen’s best interests, through strong corporate governance and sustained value creation during the tenure of the current management team. Do not let David Winters and his conflicted and inexperienced Wintergreen nominees take control of your Company. Wintergreen has neither a credible plan nor relevant real estate knowledge, and is seeking to advance its own agenda rather than the interests of all CTO shareholders.

CTO HAS THE RIGHT BOARD AND THE RIGHT STRATEGY
IN PLACE TO DELIVER SHAREHOLDER VALUE
VOTE THE WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY

Your Board is actively engaged and committed to ensuring that CTO remains a well-governed, shareholder-focused Company. This is an important time for CTO and we believe Wintergreen’s self-serving and ill-informed agenda would only serve to destroy value by interrupting the strategy that your Board and management team have been executing and that has delivered outstanding results since 2012.

Whether or not you plan to attend the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, you have the opportunity to protect your investment in CTO by voting the enclosed WHITE proxy card today “FOR” each of CTO’s seven nominees and discarding any materials you may receive from Wintergreen. Please vote each and every WHITE proxy card you receive since you may own CTO shares in multiple investment accounts.

If you have previously returned a green proxy card you received from Wintergreen, you have every right to change your vote by using the enclosed WHITE proxy card to support the CTO Board. Only your validly executed proxy card with the latest date will count toward this critical vote. Please do not send back any green proxy card, even to vote against the Wintergreen nominees, as doing so may cancel out any votes “FOR” the CTO Board.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and management team, we appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely,

The Consolidated-Tomoka Board of Directors
