      This is a final amendment to the Tender Offer Statement, or Schedule TO, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2006, by Allied Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and amended on June 20, 2007, relating to the offer by the Company to all optionees who held vested “in-the-money” stock options as of June 20, 2007, the opportunity to receive an option cancellation payment equal to the “in-the-money” value of the stock options cancelled, which would be paid one-half in cash and one-half in shares of the Company’s common stock, in exchange for their voluntary cancellation of their vested stock options. The offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Offer to Exchange Options dated June 20, 2007, and the related Letter of Transmittal, Summary of Terms of the Offer to Exchange Options, Election Form and Withdrawal Form which were filed as exhibits to the Company’s Schedule TO.
      In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer, the value of the option cancellation payment is equal to the Weighted Average Market Price of $31.75 less the exercise price of the vested “in-the-money” options exchanged. The Company has accepted for cancellation 10.3 million vested stock options, which in the aggregate have a weighted average exercise price of $21.50. This results in a total option cancellation payment of approximately $105.6 million, of which $52.8 million is to be paid in cash and $52.8 million is to be paid through the issuance of 1.7 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock determined using the Weighted Average Market Price of $31.75. The Weighted Average Market Price represents the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over the fifteen trading days preceding the first day of the offer period, or June 20, 2007. Cash payments to optionees will be paid net of required payroll and income tax withholdings.
      The Company’s transfer agent will promptly issue unregistered shares in book-entry form and the Company will promptly issue the corresponding cash payment in exchange for the options cancelled in the tender offer.
      This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO is filed in satisfaction of the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(4) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information on Schedule TO filed on June 20, 2007, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment No. 2, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.
Item 11.  Additional Information.
      Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:
      The offer expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 18, 2007.
