This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) should be read in conjunction with the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 23, 2011 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), by City of London Investment Group PLC (“City of London”) and City of London Investment Management Company Limited relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of The Greater China Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). This Amendment No. 1 amends Items 3, 4, and 5 of the Original Schedule 13D by disclosing transactions resulting in an increase in the percentage of the class of securities and the decrease in the aggregate amount of shares beneficially owned by City of London. All other information in the Original Schedule 13D remains in effect. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.
Beneficial ownership of the Shares to which this statement relates was acquired by the Reporting Persons with invested capital of the City of London Funds and the Segregated Accounts. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,295,507 Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was $22,389,679, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 61,324 Shares owned directly by BMI was $662,184, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 171,617 Shares owned directly by EWF was $1,615,571, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 119,182 Shares owned directly by FREE was $1,191,061, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 226,118 Shares owned directly by GBL was $2,543,985, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,893 Shares owned directly by GFM was $28,812, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 225,788 Shares owned directly by IEM was $2,444,950, inclusive of brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,488,585 Shares owned directly by the Segregated Accounts was $13,897,915, inclusive of brokerage commissions.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The percentage ownership has changed due to a tender and the sale of stock.
Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.
| (a) | and (b). As of the date hereof, CLIG, through its control of CLIM, and CLIM, in its capacity as investment adviser to the City of London Funds and the Segregated Accounts, have voting and dispositive power with respect to all 2,295,507 Shares owned directly by the City of London Funds and the Segregated Accounts, representing approximately 32.0% of the 7.544 million Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2011, as reported by the Fund. As of the date hereof, BMI, EWF, FREE, GBL, GFM, IEM, and the Segregated Accounts owned directly 61,324, 171,617, 119,182, 226,118, 2,893, 225,788 and 1,488,585 Shares, respectively, representing approximately 0.86%, 2.39%, 1.66%, 3.15%, 0.04%, 3.15 %, and 20.77%, respectively, of the 7.167 million Shares outstanding as of November 30, 2011. |
The resulting ownership in excess of 3% of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund by GBL, and IEM, respectively, resulted from a tender instituted by the Fund which had the effect of reducing the total amount of the Fund's voting shares outstanding, and not as a result of a direct purchase or acquisition of Fund shares by GBL, and IEM.
Such ownership in excess of 3% of the Fund's shares by GBL, and IEM is therefore specifically exempted from Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
| (c). | Information with respect to all transactions in the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons that were effected during the past 60 days is set forth below: |
| Portfolio | Tran Type | Trade Date | Par Value / Shares | Trade Price |
| FREE | SELL | 11/25/2011 | 600 | 10.01 |
