This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 7”) is being filed with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (the “Issuer”), to amend the Schedule 13D filed on June 29, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on June 29, 2016, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on November 25, 2016, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed on July 24, 2017, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed on November 16, 2017, Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed on December 18, 2017 and Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed on September 10, 2018 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5 and Amendment No. 6, the “Schedule 13D”).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a) - 5(c) of the Schedule 13D are amended to reflect the following:

(a) and (b). As of the date of this Amendment No. 7, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns shares of Common Stock in such numbers as set forth on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D. The total number of shares each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns represents such percentages of the Common Stock outstanding as set forth on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D based upon the 19,835,373 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 8, 2019.

By virtue of the relationships among the Reporting Persons, as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a “group” under the Federal securities laws. If the Reporting Persons were deemed to be such a “group,” such group would collectively beneficially own 2,308,885.64 shares of Common Stock or 11.640% of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on December 18, 2019. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims voting and investment power over shares of the Common Stock, except as set forth on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D.

(c) Schedule I hereto sets forth all transactions with respect to the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days. All such transactions were effected in the open market, and per share prices include any commissions paid in connection with such transactions.
