Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (NYSE: WDG) announced that its previously announced one-for-five reverse split of its common stock was effected as of the close of business today, September 26, 2008. Woodbridge effected the reverse stock split by filing Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State.

As a result of the reverse stock split, each five shares of Woodbridge's Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock, and each five shares of Woodbridge's Class B Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business automatically converted into one share of Class B Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, any fractional share resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the next largest whole share. Woodbridge's Class A Common Stock will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on a split-adjusted basis upon the opening of the market on Monday, September 29, 2008, and will continue to be traded under its current ticker symbol, "WDG."

The reverse stock split reduced the number of outstanding shares of Woodbridge's Class A Common Stock from 95,197,445 to approximately 19,039,489 (subject to rounding up of fractional shares) and the number of outstanding shares of Woodbridge's Class B Common Stock from 1,219,031 to 243,807. In addition, the number of authorized shares of Woodbridge's common stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under Woodbridge's equity compensation plans and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying stock options and other exercisable or convertible instruments were also ratably decreased in connection with the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split has no impact on shareholders' proportionate equity interests or voting rights in Woodbridge or the par value of Woodbridge's Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, which in each case will remain unchanged at $0.01 per share. However, following the reverse stock split, the CUSIP number of Woodbridge's Class A Common Stock is now 978842201.

American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, transfer agent for Woodbridge's Class A Common Stock and exchange agent for the reverse stock split, will promptly send registered shareholders a letter of transmittal with instructions for the exchange of stock certificates. Shareholders who hold shares in brokerage accounts will be contacted by their brokers with instructions. Shareholders should not destroy any stock certificates and should not submit any certificates for exchange until requested to do so.
