EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 6 (Amendment No. 6) amends and supplements the information set forth in the Statement on Schedule 13D (the Schedule) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on behalf of Riggs Qualified Partners, LLC and Philip J. Timyan (collectively the Reporting Persons) on April 20, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 (Amendment No. 1) as filed with the SEC on October 1, 2007, as amended by a Statement on Schedule 13D filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons, Donald C. Scott, FJ Capital Long/Short Equity Fund LLC and Martin S. Friedman, with the SEC on February 23, 2009 (the Joint Filing Schedule), as amended by Amendment No. 1 (the Joint Filing Amendment) thereto as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 4 (Amendment No. 4) as filed with the SEC on July 20, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 5 (Amendment No. 5) as filed with the SEC on August 11, 2009, with respect to the Reporting Persons beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock) of GS Financial Corp. (the Company). This Amendment No. 6 speaks only as of its date. The Schedule, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the Joint Filing Schedule, the Joint Filing Amendment, Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5, is further amended only to the extent set forth herein.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On September 21, 2009, the Reporting Persons entered into a shareholders agreement (the September Agreement) with the Company and Guaranty Savings Bank (the Bank), which supersedes the shareholders agreement dated April 3, 2009 (the April Agreement) among the Reporting Persons, the Company, the Bank, Martin S. Friedman (Friedman) and FJ Capital Long/Short Equity Fund LLC (FJ Capital). Each of the parties to the April Agreement have acknowledged its termination and released one another from all obligations under the April Agreement. As a result, the Reporting Persons believe they have addressed the matters raised by the Office of Thrift Supervision, which matters were previously reported in Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons do not believe there is any further basis for them to be deemed to be part of a group with Friedman and FJ Capital.
The September Agreement provides, among other things, that the Reporting Persons will have the opportunity to meet with the Chairman of the board of directors of the Company and the Bank, on a monthly basis, to discuss the condition of the Bank, and the Reporting Persons agreed to vote all of their shares of common stock of the Company in favor of Company nominees to the board of directors and proposals submitted to the Companys shareholders which have been approved by the Companys board of directors; and will not propose or seek to effect a merger or sale of the Company, propose or induce others to propose any nominee for election as a director to the Companys Board, propose or induce others to submit any shareholder proposal to the Company, initiate litigation against the Company, solicit proxies in opposition to any recommendations or proposals of the Companys Board of Directors, or seek to exercise any control or influence over the Companys management. The Reporting Persons also have agreed not to make any statements that reflect negatively on the Company or the Bank. In addition, the Company has a right of first refusal in certain circumstances in connection with the sale of common stock by the Reporting Persons. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of June 30, 2011, or the date on which the Company ceases to exist by reason of merger, sale of assets, liquidation, exchange of shares, or otherwise. The September Agreement is included as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of Item 5 are hereby amended as follows:
(a)
The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are set forth on the cover page, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
Page 5 of 6 Pages
(b)
The number of shares of Common Stock as to which there is (i) sole power to vote or direct the vote, (ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote, (iii) sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, or (iv) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition for each of the Reporting Persons is set forth on the cover pages, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
(c)
Since the filing of Amendment No. 5, the Reporting Person has not engaged in any transactions in the issuers securities.
(d)
On August 5, 2009, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of the Companys common stock, but may have been deemed to be part of a group which continued to beneficially own more than 5% of the Companys common stock. As of September 21, 2009, the Reporting Persons do not believe there is any further basis for them to be deemed to be part of a group which beneficially owns more than 5% of the Companys common stock.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
