This Amendment No. 8 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, November 9, 2009, November 17, 2009, December 1, 2009 and December 15, 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:

The tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m. on December 10, 2009, and as of that time several conditions to the consummation of the tender offer were not satisfied.  All Securities tendered in the tender offer will be returned to the respective tendering holders or their custodians.  On December 14, 2009, Greater Atlantic, MidAtlantic and Merger Sub issued a joint press release announcing the termination of the tender offer.

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:
