FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Jun 30, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) — Woodbridge Holdings
Corporation (NYSE: WDG) (“Woodbridge”) announced today that it has reached an agreement with Levitt
and Sons, LLC, and each of its affiliates which filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtors”) and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Woodbridge has agreed to pay to the Debtors’ bankruptcy
estates the sum of $12.5 million dollars plus accrued interest through the date of payment.
Woodbridge has agreed to waive and release substantially all of the claims it has against the
Debtors, including its administrative expense claims through July 2008. The Debtors (joined by the
Joint Committee) have agreed to waive and release any claims they may have against Woodbridge and
its affiliates.
The Settlement Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the
Bankruptcy Court.
