to 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, issued 08-Feb-2010 by
Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. over PR Newswire, we are advised by
the company that new verbiage has been added after the third
paragraph. The complete, corrected release follows: DAYTONA BEACH,
Fla., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.
(NYSE AMEX: CTO) (the "Company") announced today that at a meeting
of the Company's Board of Directors held on February 8, 2010, John
C. Adams, Jr. elected not to stand for re-election to the Board and
will retire when his term in Class I expires in April 2010. William
J. Voges, Chairman of the Board, stated, "Mr. Adams has contributed
greatly to the success of the Company since joining the Board in
1977. He has provided the Board with leadership and distinguished
service over the years, and he will be missed. We all wish him the
best in his retirement." Mr. Adams has also served on the
Executive, Audit, and Compensation Committees, and is currently
Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Board has nominated A.
Chester Skinner, III, Jacksonville, Florida, and Thomas P. Warlow,
III, Orlando, Florida, to replace Mr. Adams and John C. Myers, III,
who retired in January to pursue other obligations. Both candidates
are well-qualified with backgrounds and experience in real estate
similar to the Company's real estate activities. Mr. Warlow was
originally nominated to the Board by Wintergreen Advisers, LLC.
Both Messrs. Skinner and Warlow will be included as Board nominees
in the proxy statement for the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders
in addition to the incumbent director, Linda Loomis Shelley, a
noted land use attorney in Tallahassee, FL, whose Class I term
expires in 2010 and who has been re-nominated by the Board. The
Company also announced that after consideration of two shareholder
proposals submitted by Wintergreen Advisers, LLC, the Board has
decided to include proposals in the Company's proxy statement that
will provide shareholders with the opportunity to advise the Board
as to whether the Company should conduct an annual non-binding,
advisory vote with respect to executive compensation and whether
the Company should adopt a majority voting standard for the
election of directors in uncontested elections. The Board intends
to recommend that shareholders vote in favor of these proposals. In
keeping with good corporate governance practices and because the
positions of chairman and chief executive officer are now
separately held, the Board approved termination of its Executive
Committee. Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida-based company
primarily engaged in converting Company owned agricultural lands
into a portfolio of net lease income properties strategically
located in the Southeast, through the efficient utilization of 1031
tax-deferred exchanges. The Company has low long-term debt and
generates over $9 million annually before tax cash flow from its
real estate portfolio. The Company also engages in selective
self-development of targeted income properties. The Company's
adopted strategy is designed to provide the financial strength and
cash flow to weather difficult real estate cycles. Visit our
