News Release

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT: CTO) (the “Company”) today announced that it has reached a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) with Wintergreen Advisers, LLC (“Wintergreen”) regarding the complaint filed by Wintergreen in February 2017 against the Company and its Board of Directors (the “Board”) in the Circuit Court of the Seventh Judicial Circuit in Volusia County, Florida (the “Lawsuit”).

Under the terms of the Settlement, Wintergreen’s four candidates may stand for election at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and the Company will not amend its Bylaws or change the intended size of its Board prior to the Annual Meeting. The Company and Wintergreen will each file their own proxy statements and related proxy materials and bear their own costs in connection with their respective proxy solicitations and the Lawsuit. In addition, as part of the Settlement, Wintergreen has agreed to dismiss the Lawsuit after each of the Company’s and Wintergreen’s proxy statements have been mailed to the Company’s shareholders.

The Company issued the following statement:

“In order to avoid the disruption of protracted litigation, the Board determined that it was the prudent course of action to settle the Lawsuit and let the Company’s shareholders choose the composition of the Board and the future direction of the Company. We believe it’s important to note that Wintergreen, by running a slate of four nominees, none of whom are independent of Wintergreen, is seeking to take control of the Company without paying a control premium or making any offer to our other shareholders that is reflective of the value in obtaining control of the Company. ”

“The Board and our management team are unified in the belief that a hurried sale of the Company or liquidation of its assets, at this time, would be destructive to shareholder value, which is obviously contrary to what is in the best interests of all shareholders. The Company is continuing to successfully execute its business plan, completing value-enhancing transactions in an orderly, deliberate, and effective manner.”

“We look forward to engaging with our shareholders regarding the tremendous progress being achieved and value being created by this Board and management team.”
