Wise (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of BBX Capital, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Issuer”). As described in further detail below, on September 30, 2020, the Issuer was spun-off by Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation (formerly BBX Capital Corporation) (“BVH”).

The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 401 East Las Olas Boulevard, Suite 800, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Alan B. Levan is the Chairman of the Issuer, and the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BVH and Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (“Bluegreen”).

John E. Abdo is the Vice Chairman of the Issuer, BVH and Bluegreen.

Jarett S. Levan is the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Issuer and a director of BVH and Bluegreen. He is the former President of BVH. Mr. Jarett Levan is the son of Mr. Alan Levan.

Alan B. Levan, John E. Abdo, Jarett S. Levan and Seth M. Wise are all United States citizens.

Levan Partners is a Florida limited liability company. Levan Partners has no operations and its assets include its ownership of securities of the Issuer. Alan B. Levan may be deemed to be the controlling person of Levan Partners, and he serves as a Manager of Levan Partners along with Jarett S. Levan and Susie C. Levan, a United States citizen and the wife of Mr. Alan Levan. Levan Partners does not have any officers as of the date of this Schedule 13D.

Levan BFC Stock Partners is a Delaware limited partnership of which Levan Management LLC (“Levan Management”), a Delaware limited liability company, is the sole general partner. A trust controlled by Alan B. Levan is the sole member of Levan Management. Mr. Alan Levan is the sole executive officer of Levan Management. Levan BFC Stock Partners and Levan Management have no operations, and their sole assets are their ownership of shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock.

The principal business address for each Reporting Person, as well as Susie C. Levan and Levan Management, is 401 East Las Olas Boulevard, Suite 800, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

During the last five years, neither any Reporting Person nor Susie C. Levan or Levan Management (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On September 30, 2020, the Issuer was spun-off by BVH (the “Spin-Off”). BVH effected the Spin-Off by distributing 100% of the shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to BVH’s shareholders. Specifically, on September 30, 2020, BVH distributed to its shareholders one share of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock for each share of BVH’s Class A Common Stock held of record as of the close of business on September 22, 2020, the record date for the distribution of the Issuer’s shares in the Spin-Off, and one share of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock for each share of BVH’s Class B Common Stock held of record as of the close of business on September 22, 2020. A total of 15,624,091 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and 3,693,596 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock were issued in connection with the Spin-Off on September 30, 2020. Each share of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock distributed in connection with the Spin-Off has attached thereto an accompanying preferred share purchase right issued under the Issuer’s previously disclosed Rights Agreement, dated September 25, 2020.

As a result of the Spin-Off, the Issuer is now a separate, publicly-traded company. BVH no longer owns any interest in the Issuer. Rather, the shareholders of BVH who received shares of the Issuer’s stock in the Spin-Off, including the Reporting Persons, have become the initial shareholders of the Issuer following the Spin-Off.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The information regarding the Spin-Off set forth in Item 3 above is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference. All of the shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as reported in this Schedule 13D, were received in the distribution of shares in connection with the Spin-Off on September 30, 2020 in respect of shares of BVH’s Class B Common Stock at the one-for-one distribution ratio described above.

None of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that would result in any of the occurrences enumerated in (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. As previously disclosed, however, Renin Holdings, LLC (“Renin”), a subsidiary of the Issuer which is engaged in the design, manufacture, and distribution of sliding doors, door systems and hardware, and home décor products, has entered into a non-binding letter of intent in connection with a possible acquisition of a Canadian company which is engaged in a complementary business. Renin is currently performing due diligence in connection with the potential acquisition, and there is no assurance that a definitive agreement for the acquisition will be entered into by the parties or that the transaction will be consummated. In addition, Alan B. Levan, the Chairman of the Issuer, John E. Abdo, the Vice Chairman of the Issuer, Jarett S. Levan, the President and Chief Executive Officer

of the Issuer, and Seth M. Wise, Executive Vice President and a director of the Issuer, may at any time and from time to time formulate other plans or proposals with respect to any matters enumerated in (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, with respect to other acquisitions and strategic transactions. Further, the Issuer does not currently have an equity compensation plan but, as previously disclosed, expects that its Board of Directors will adopt an equity compensation plan and present the plan for shareholder approval. To the extent that an equity compensation plan is adopted by the Issuer and approved, it is expected that the Issuer will in the future award to its executives, including Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo, Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise, restricted stock awards or other equity-based compensation, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Issuer’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Reporting Persons may from time to time make additional investments in securities of the Issuer, either in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, and/or, subject to certain restrictions in the case of Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise, sell all or any part of their respective investments in the Issuer, in each case, as each such Reporting Person may deem appropriate in light of circumstances existing from time to time. Mr. Alan Levan, Mr. Abdo, Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise may also formulate plans or proposals in the future relating to certain of the other matters enumerated in Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including asset dispositions, changes in the Board or management of the Issuer, and changes in the Issuer’s business, capitalization and/or organizational documents.

In connection with the Spin-Off, Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo, Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Jarett Levan, and Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise confirmed to each other that such agreements would apply equally to their shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock. As a result, and pursuant to such agreements:

Mr. Jarett Levan will succeed to Mr. Alan Levan’s rights under this agreement in the event of Mr. Alan Levan’s death or disability.

•

Mr. Jarett Levan has agreed to vote the shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock that he owns or otherwise has the right to vote in the same manner as Mr. Alan Levan votes his shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock; Mr. Jarett Levan has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer certain of his shares of Class B Common Stock and not to convert shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock into shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock without Mr. Alan Levan’s approval if, after giving effect to such

conversion, Mr. Jarett Levan would beneficially own less than 200,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock; and Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Jarett Levan have agreed to vote their shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock in favor of the election of the other to the Issuer’s Board of Directors for so long as they are willing and able to serve as directors of the Issuer.

•

Mr. Wise has agreed to vote the shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock that he owns or otherwise has the right to vote in the same manner as Mr. Jarett Levan’s shares of the Issuers’ Class B Common Stock are voted; Mr. Wise has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer his shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock or convert shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock into shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock if, after giving effect to such transfer or conversion, Mr. Wise would beneficially own less than 50,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock; subject to certain limited exceptions, Mr. Wise may only sell his shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock or convert such shares into shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock if he first offers to Mr. Jarett Levan the right to purchase the shares; and Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise have agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, their shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock in favor of the election of the other to the Issuer’s Board of Directors for so long as they are willing and able to serve as directors of the Issuer.

Except for the shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock received in connection with the Spin-Off, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in any shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock during the past 60 days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth in Item 5 above with respect to the agreements between Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo, Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Jarett Levan, and Mr. Jarett Levan and Mr. Wise is incorporated into this Item 6 by reference.
