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 Companys 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 Companys 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
Companys 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
Companys 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 Companys 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.

supplemented to add the following:
The offer expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on
