Woodbridge Holdings Corporation Anticipates a Listing Change
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - November 13, 2008) - Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (NYSE: WDG) announced today that, reflecting the unprecedented decline in the
trading prices of shares of companies engaged in real estate related
activities, Woodbridge's
Class A Common Stock has fallen below the New York Stock Exchange's
requirements
for continued listing. Accordingly, Woodbridge anticipates that its Class
A Common Stock will move off the New York Stock Exchange and instead be
quoted on the OTCQX. Information on the OTCQX can be accessed via the
OTCQX's internet website at www.OTCQX.com.
About Woodbridge Holdings Corporation
Woodbridge Holdings Corporation, directly and through its wholly owned
subsidiaries, seeks to invest opportunistically within and outside the real
estate industry. Historically, the Company's operations were primarily
within the real estate industry; however, the Company's current business
strategy includes the pursuit of opportunistic investments and acquisitions
within or outside of the real estate industry, as well as the continued
development of master-planned communities. Under this business strategy,
the Company may not generate a constant earnings stream and the composition
of the Company's revenues may vary widely due to factors inherent in a
particular investment, including the maturity of the business, market
conditions and cyclicality. Net investment gains and other income that may
occur are to be driven by the Company's strategic initiatives as well as
overall market conditions.

Tradition™ brand with Tradition™ Hilton Head, an approximate
5,400-acre community planned to include 9,500 residences and 1.5 million
