DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT: CTO) (the “Company” or “CTO”) urges shareholders to vote “FOR” all seven of the Company’s experienced and highly qualified director nominees on the WHITE proxy card TODAY.

The Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) is fast approaching; it will be held on April 26, 2017. It is extremely important that shareholders vote as soon as possible – no matter how many shares they own. Even if shareholders have already voted using the green proxy card, they have the right to change their vote to the WHITE proxy card in support of CTO’s director nominees.

Since time is short, shareholders are encouraged to vote by telephone or Internet according to the instructions on the WHITE proxy card. Voting by telephone or Internet is the best way for shareholders to ensure that their votes will be counted.

All materials regarding the Board’s recommendation for the Annual Meeting can be found at www.VoteCTO.com.

THE NATION’S LEADING INDEPENDENT PROXY ADVISORY FIRMS, ISS AND GLASS LEWIS, RECOMMEND SHAREHOLDERS VOTE THE WHITE PROXY CARD “FOR” ALL CTO NOMINEES AND PROPOSALS

• By voting the WHITE proxy card, CTO shareholders guarantee the continued execution of a proven strategy that is delivering outstanding results and maximizing value for ALL shareholders.
• CTO’s Board and management team have a strong track record of value creation; delivering 12% annualized returns over the last five years, exceeding peers and major indexes, and a plan to deliver sustainable growth and value over time.
• CTO’s independent, experienced and highly qualified Board is committed to serving the interests of ALL shareholders.
• The Board’s nominees include three current directors who were previously recommended by Wintergreen Advisers (“Wintergreen”), and are completely engaged as your representatives and fully support the Company’s strategy.

DO NOT BE MISLED BY WINTERGREEN’S INACCURACIES AND CAMPAIGN OF MISREPRESENTATIONS

WINTERGREEN HAS NO CREDIBLE PLAN TO ENHANCE VALUE FOR CTO SHAREHOLDERS

WINTERGREEN’S NOMINEES LACK RELEVANT EXPERIENCE AND ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO SERVE ON YOUR BOARD

Electing Wintergreen’s inexperienced and unqualified nominees at the upcoming Annual Meeting would present significant risks to the value of your investment in CTO. We believe that Wintergreen’s nominees, if elected, would seek to advance Wintergreen’s misguided and value-destructive plan to liquidate the Company at the expense of all other CTO shareholders. Electing Wintergreen’s nominees would undermine the important progress that has been achieved in executing the Company’s strategy under the guidance and leadership of your Board and management team.

In sharp contrast, CTO’s current Board has the independence, leadership, real estate and financial experience to continue executing the Company’s proven strategy to enhance value for ALL CTO shareholders.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT IN CTO - VOTE FOR CTO’S BOARD ON THE WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY!

This is a critical time for the future of CTO shareholders’ investment in the Company. CTO strongly recommends that shareholders vote the WHITE proxy card today “FOR” all seven of the Company’s experienced and highly qualified 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.

Voting by telephone or Internet is the best way for shareholders to ensure that their votes will be counted. Shareholders should refer to the instructions provided on the WHITE proxy card or voting instruction form to quickly and easily do so.
