This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Third-Party Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relating to the offering by Greater Atlantic Financial Corp. (“Greater Atlantic”), MidAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (“MidAtlantic”) and GAF Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”) to pay $1.05 per share for the 6.50% Cumulative Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (the “Securities”) of Greater Atlantic Capital Trust I. For additional information, refer to the Offer to Purchase and related letter of transmittal, copies of which were previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii). Greater Atlantic has previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relating to the offering of Securities on August 7, 2009, as amended on August 21, 2009, September 4, 2009, September 15, 2009,  October 6, 2009, October 15, 2009, October 27, 2009 and November 9, 2009.

MidAtlantic and Merger Sub entered into a merger agreement on June 15, 2009 with Greater Atlantic to acquire Greater Atlantic Bank.  The obligations of the parties under the merger agreement are subject to satisfaction of various conditions, one of which is that Greater Atlantic conduct a tender offer for all of the Securities and shall have received the irrevocable tender of at least 85% of the outstanding Securities.  Because Greater Atlantic does not have the funds necessary to close the tender offer and because Greater Atlantic Bank is prohibited from paying dividends to Greater Atlantic under the regulatory enforcement orders pursuant to which it is operating, the funds for the purchase of the Securities will be provided at the closing of the tender offer and merger by MidAtlantic, assuming satisfaction of all conditions to the closing of the merger.

This Third-Party Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 14d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the letter of transmittal is incorporated herein by reference in response to all of the items of this Schedule TO, as more particularly described below.

 

Items 4.   Terms of the Transaction 

 

Item 4 of the Schedule TO, which incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

On  November 9, 2009, Greater Atlantic, MidAtlantic and Merger Sub issued a joint press release announcing the extension of the Offer to Purchase to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 16, 2009.

 

In the November 9, 2009 press release, Greater Atlantic also announced that it had successfully completed the consent solicitation to obtain the consent of the holders of the Securities to a supplemental indenture to permit the completion of the tender offer.  The consent solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 6, 2009 .   Greater Atlantic announced that the holders of Securities approved the supplemental indenture by a vote of (i) a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of Securities, and (ii) a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of all outstanding Securities, excluding for this purpose certain Securities owned by Greater Atlantic, any trustee and their affiliates.

 

In addition, the information in the Offer to Purchase under the heading “The Tender Offer—Certain Information About the Offerors—Incorporation by Reference” is revised by amending and restating the third bullet point under that caption to read as follows:

●

“Greater Atlantic’s Current Reports on Form 8-K dated February 10, 2009 (filed February 17, 2009), May 22, 2009 (filed May 27, 2009), June 15, 2009 (filed June 17, 2009), August 26, 2009 (filed August 28, 2009), August 26, 2009 (filed September 2, 2009), September 22, 2009 (filed September 25, 2009), September 29, 2009 (filed October 5, 2009), and October 30, 2009 (filed November 2, 2009).”
