Item 8.01 Other Events
The Board of Directors of Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) has approved an amendment to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan as amended, the price of shares purchased directly from the Company will be based on the average closing price of shares of the Company’s common stock for the trailing ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the applicable investment date, instead of the trailing five (5) trading days immediately preceding the applicable investment date. As a result of the amendment, paragraph 14 of the Description of the Plan contained in the Plan prospectus supplement dated June 4, 2013 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Plan prospectus dated June 27, 2012 has been amended. All other paragraphs of the Description of the Plan contained in the Prospectus Supplement remain unchanged. The Company has filed a revised prospectus relating to the Plan, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to rule 424(b)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act. The revised prospectus constitutes the Plan, as amended, and amends and restates in its entirety the Prospectus Supplement.
