This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) is being filed with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (the “Issuer”), to amend the Schedule 13D filed on June 29, 2015 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on June 28, 2016 and this Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”).

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:
Basswood Opportunity Partners, LP acquired 146,731 shares of Common Stock directly owned by it and Basswood Opportunity Fund, Inc. acquired 112,894 shares of Common Stock directly owned by it, upon conversion in the Merger (as defined in Item 4) of its shares of common stock of Community (as defined in Item 4). The additional 33,227 shares of Common Stock directly owned by Basswood Opportunity Partners, LP and 27,601 shares of Common Stock directly owned by Basswood Opportunity Fund, Inc. along with the 1,632,890 shares of Common Stock directly owned by the other Funds and managed accounts were acquired by expending an aggregate of $46,756,548 in cash (including commissions, if any) from their working capital.
The Lindenbaum Reporting Persons directly holding shares of Common Stock acquired all such shares upon conversion in the Merger of shares of Common Stock of Community owned by them.
The Funds and managed accounts generally effect purchases through margin accounts maintained for them with each of J.P Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co., BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage and State Street Bank and Trust Company, which may extend margin credit to the Funds and managed accounts as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable Federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the firm’s credit policies.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of the Schedule 13D are amended to reflect the following:
(a) The beneficial ownership percentages in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the 19,094,800 shares of Common Stock reported in the Prospectus Supplement filed by the Issuer on November 23, 2016.
(b) By virtue of the relationships among the Reporting Persons, as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a “group” under the Federal securities laws. If the Reporting Persons were deemed to be such a “group,” such group would collectively beneficially own 2,808,170 shares of Common Stock or 14.7%.  Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims voting and investment power over shares of the Common Stock, except as set forth on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D.
 (c) During the past sixty days, the Reporting Persons effected the transactions in the Common Stock that are listed on Annex I hereto, all of which were purchases of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering by the issuer.
