MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--During the last 30 days, Wintergreen Advisers, LLC (“Wintergreen”) has received two unsolicited indications of interest in Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (“CTO”, NYSE American:CTO). Wintergreen has referred both parties to CTO’s Board of Directors. Wintergreen also believes that multiple parties plan to tour CTO’s Daytona Beach properties later this week, and a recently filed Schedule 13G reports a new 5% shareholder of CTO.
Wintergreen strongly believes that these indications of interest, along with recent changes to Federal Tax Law, and the possibility of upcoming interest rate hikes, show that this is an ideal time for CTO to immediately and vigorously pursue these opportunities and any others that present themselves as well as taking steps in accord with the Wintergreen proxy proposal to take steps to narrow the discount between NAV and CTO’s share price by hiring an independent, previously unaffiliated, adviser to maximize shareholder value by evaluating all options for CTO, including through a sale of CTO or through the liquidation of CTO’s assets, even in advance of the upcoming shareholder meeting.
