CUSIP NO. 12008R107

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”).  This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.
 
Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On October 29, 2009, SCM sent a letter (the “October Letter”) to the Board of the Issuer expressing its continuing concerns with both the recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) recently announced in response to the proposal made by controlling stockholders, Warburg and JLL, and the ongoing governance of the Issuer.  In the October Letter, SCM stated that it is considering, among other things, intervening in the pending litigation and asserting objections to the potential settlement of shareholder lawsuits announced.
 
As expressed in the October Letter, SCM’s concerns regarding the Recapitalization and the Issuer’s governance include SCM’s belief that in spite of the various reasons cited in the Issuer’s October 23, 2009 announcement, the Issuer does not need to effect a recapitalization now, and certainly not on the terms outlined in the Recapitalization announcement.  SCM continues to be concerned regarding the unfair terms of the Recapitalization, including a Rights Offering price at $3.50 per share, which represents a discount of more than 50% to the average price of the Issuer’s stock for the 30 days prior to the initial Warburg/JLL announcement, and the current plan for the proceeds to be used by the Issuer to offer to repurchase or redeem the Issuer’s Notes, which would significantly benefit JLL and Warburg.  SCM also believes that the Recapitalization remains an extraordinary example of fiduciary conflicts and self-dealing by Warburg and JLL.  SCM continues to be concerned about the extraordinary conflicts of interest at the Issuer Board level, and believes that in order to restore stockholder confidence in the governance and fiduciary capabilities of the Issuer’s Board, the Board should be reconfigured to include at least two truly independent stockholder representatives.
 
The foregoing description of the October Letter is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to its full text.  A copy of the October Letter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 7.   Material to Be Filed as Exhibits
 
                Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:
 
99.1         Letter, dated October 29, 2009, to the Board of Directors of Builders FirstSource, Inc.
