BKFG was once the closed-end fund known as Baker, Fentress & Co.

I wonder if CTO has received a claim.

Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.

Established over 100 years ago

Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (“Consolidated”) traces its roots back to Jacksonville in the early 1900's. At one time in its history, Consolidated owned more than 1.8 million acres of land in Florida.

Significant dates in the Company’s history include:

•1902 – 7 Naval Store companies were consolidated into Consolidated Naval Stores, the largest company of its kind in the world and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida;

•1923 – Baker, Fentress & Co. (of Chicago) acquired 80% of Consolidated Naval Stores

•1930 – Consolidated purchased a 33.6% interest in Barnett National Bank

•1969 – Consolidated Financial Corporation merged into Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (‘CTO’) and CTO goes public on New York Stock Exchange (minority share of the CTO);

•1985 – CTO moves headquarters to Daytona Beach, Florida

•1999 – Baker, Fentress & Co. spin off 1005 of CTO as fully publicly traded company on NYSE
