SCHEDULE 13G/A
This Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to Schedule 13G (the “Schedule 13G”) is an amendment to the initial statement on Schedule 13G relating to shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) of Nicholas Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 28, 2005.
This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Southpoint Capital Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Southpoint CA LLC”), Southpoint GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Southpoint GP LLC”), Southpoint Capital Advisors LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Southpoint Advisors”), Southpoint GP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Southpoint GP”) and John S. Clark II. Southpoint CA LLC is the general partner of Southpoint Advisors. Southpoint GP LLC is the general partner of Southpoint GP. Southpoint GP is the general partner of Southpoint Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Fund”), Southpoint Qualified Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Qualified Fund”), and Southpoint Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Master Fund”). Southpoint Offshore Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Island exempted company (the “Offshore Fund”), is also a general partner of the Master Fund. This Schedule 13G relates to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer purchased by the Fund, the Qualified Fund and the Master Fund.
This Amendment is being filed to amend and restate Item 4 of the Schedule 13G as follows:
Item 4 Ownership.
    Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
  (a)   Southpoint CA LLC, Southpoint GP LLC, Southpoint GP, Southpoint Advisors and John S. Clark II may be deemed the beneficial owners of 1,036,220 shares of Common Stock.
 
  (b)   Southpoint CA LLC, Southpoint GP LLC, Southpoint GP, Southpoint Advisors and John S. Clark II may be deemed the beneficial owners of 8.97% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. This percentage was determined by dividing 1,036,220 by 11,553,114, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on October 31, 2009, as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed November 13, 2009.
 
  (c)   Southpoint CA LLC, Southpoint GP LLC, Southpoint GP, Southpoint Advisors and John S. Clark II have the sole power to vote and dispose of the 1,036,220 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.
Item 10 Certification.
    By signing below each of the reporting persons certifies that, to the best of such person’s knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were acquired and held in the ordinary course of business and were not acquired and were not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.
