INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

 

This Amendment No. 4 to Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO further amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, filed on May 13, 2005, as amended on June 1, 2005, June 20, 2005, and June 30, 2005, relating to the offer of C&F Financial Corporation, a Virginia corporation, to purchase up to 180,000 (now 450,000) of its common shares, no par value (plus up to an additional 2% of outstanding shares), or such lesser number of shares as are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn. C&F Financial Corporation is offering to purchase these shares at a price of $41.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 1, 2005 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (“Letter of Transmittal”), which, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the tender offer (the “Offer”).

 

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule TO is filed to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal were filed previously with the Schedule TO as Exhibits 99(a)(1)(i) and 99 (a)(1)(ii), respectively.

 

The information in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule TO by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, as amended herein.
