Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
This statement constitutes Amendment #4 to the schedule 13d
filed September 24,2012. Except as specifically set forth
herein, the Schedule 13d remains unmodified.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
On September 24, 2012, the filing persons filed an initial Schedule 13D.
On September 27, 2012, the filing persons filed an amendment to Schedule
13D in which they stated that they "intend to do everything they can that
is legal and ethical to permit them to sell their shares of GCH at or
close to NAV."
On November 26, 2012, GCH issued a press release in which it announced,
among other things its intent to commence a tender to acquire in exchange
for cash up to 70% of GCH's outstanding shares. As of that date, the filing
persons owned 5.37% of the outstanding shares. Immediately after the November
26, 2012 announcement, the filing persons determined to take no further action
since they intend to tender all of their shares.
All of the shares acquired by the filing persons since November 26, 2012 have
been acquired on their behalf by Brooklyn Capital Management, LLC, a registered
investment advisor, solely for the purpose of tendering them and not for the
purpose of changing or influencing control of GCH or for any other purpose.
The filing persons intend to file a Schedule 13G to reflect this change in
their intention.
