INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by CompuCredit Holdings Corporation, a Georgia corporation (“CompuCredit” or the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2010 (as amended or supplemented, the “Schedule TO”), relating to offers by the Company to purchase for cash (i) the Company’s outstanding 3.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), up to the aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to a total purchase price of $100.0 million (the “Tender Cap”) validly tendered and accepted, and (ii) shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”), in a number of shares equal to the number of such shares allowable for purchase from the Tender Cap remaining (if any) after deducting from the Tender Cap the total purchase price of the Notes actually purchased pursuant to this Offer to Purchase (defined below). The Offers are made upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 14, 2010 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(i), and the accompanying Letters of Transmittal (as amended or supplemented, the “Letters of Transmittal”), forms of which have been previously filed. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Offer to Purchase incorporated by reference herein.

This Amendment is filed in satisfaction of the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(2) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letters of Transmittal is incorporated by reference herein in response to all items in this Schedule TO, as more particularly set forth below.

This Amendment is being filed solely to amend the Offer to Purchase as follows:

The Company has revised condition 4(b) under the caption “Conditions to the Offers” on page 17 to read as follows:

“(b) any event that, in the reasonable judgment of CompuCredit, would or would reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse change in the price of the Securities in the United States or other major securities or financial markets,”.

The Company has revised the number of shares of Common Stock appearing in the chart under the section entitled “Interest of Directors and Executive Officers; Transactions and Arrangements Concerning the Notes and the Common Stock” on page 23 to exclude the number of shares of restricted stock that have not vested, thereby reflecting the accurate number of shares of Common Stock that each director and executive officer of the Company expects to the tender in the Offer for Common Stock.

 

Item 1. Summary Term Sheet.

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase under the caption “Summary Term Sheet” is incorporated herein by reference to this Item 1.

 

Item 2. Subject Company Information.

(a) Name and Address. The name of the issuer of the Securities is CompuCredit Holdings Corporation (as successor in interest to CompuCredit Corporation). The address of CompuCredit’s principal executive offices is Five Concourse Parkway, Suite 400, Atlanta, Georgia 30328. Its telephone number is 770-828-2000.

(b) Securities. The subject classes of securities are the Notes and the Common Stock of the Company. The information set forth under the captions “Description of the Notes” and “The Offers — Principal Terms of the Offers” in the Offer to Purchase is incorporated herein by reference. As of April 13, 2010, there were approximately $205.8 million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding and approximately 50.0 million shares of Common Stock outstanding.

(c) Trading Market and Price. The Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange or authorized to be quoted in any inter-dealer quotation system of any national securities association. Certain institutions and securities dealers do provide quotations for and engage in transactions in the Notes. There is, however, no established trading market for the Notes, and we believe that trading in the Notes has been limited. The Notes originally issued in private placement transactions are eligible for trading on the Private Offerings, Resale and Trading through Automated Linkages Market, commonly referred to as the PORTAL Market; however, those Notes registered and resold under our registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 Act, as amended, are not eligible for trading on the PORTAL Market. The Common Stock is currently traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “CCRT.” The closing price of our Common Stock on April 13, 2010 was $5.32 per share. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase under the caption “Market Price Information” is incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 2(c).
