This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) 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, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on November 25, 2016 and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed on July 24, 2017 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, the “Schedule 13D”).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended to include the following:

On November 13, 2017, Matthew Lindenbaum contacted Marcia Hefter, the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) requesting to be appointed to the Board. The Board acknowledged Mr. Lindenbaum’s request and indicated that it would proceed with its normal process for considering such requests.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a) - 5(b) of the Schedule 13D are amended to reflect the following:

(a) and (b). As of the date of this Amendment No. 4, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns shares of Common Stock in such numbers as set forth on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D. The total number of shares each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns represents such percentages of the Common Stock outstanding as set forth on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D based upon the 19,709,972 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2017, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 8, 2017.

(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 2,466,310 shares of Common Stock or 12.51% of Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Amendment No. 4. 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.
