On August 20, 2009, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release in which
it announced the material terms of its previously announced rights offering of up to $100 million
of its Class A Common Stock to its shareholders of record as of August 24, 2009. A copy of the
Company’s press release relating to the rights offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Matters discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K contain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve
substantial risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risk that, because of
business, economic or market conditions or for any other reasons within the Company’s discretion,
the Company may decide not to pursue the rights offering on the terms proposed, if at all, and that
the rights offering may not be consummated. In addition to the risks and uncertainties identified
above, reference is also made to other risks and uncertainties detailed in reports filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cautions that the foregoing risks
and uncertainties are not exclusive.
