(the “Company”) on October 5, 2005 as required by the Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1999, between Providian Financial Corporation (“Providian”) and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as the successor trustee to Bank One Trust Company, N.A. and The First National Bank of Chicago, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 19, 2004 and as further supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated October 1, 2005 (the “Indenture”) governing the Company’s 2-3/4% Convertible Cash to Accreting Senior Notes due March 15, 2016 (the “Notes”).

     The Company filed the Schedule TO in connection with the right of each holder of Notes to sell to the Company, and the obligation of the Company to purchase from each holder who exercises this right, the Notes pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Notice of Fundamental Change and Offer to Purchase dated October 5, 2005 (the “Offer to Purchase”) filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), as it may be amended or supplemented, the Indenture and the Notes (the “Offer”). A Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to Providian occurred on October 1, 2005 when Providian merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed all of the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture, including the obligation to make the Offer, and Washington Mutual fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture.

     This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Company and, together with the First Supplement to the Offer to Purchase attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) (the “Supplement”), amends and supplements certain provisions of the Schedule TO to the extent set forth herein.

     The Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, Eastern time, on Wednesday, November 2, 2005, unless extended or earlier terminated pursuant to a requirement of applicable law.

     (b) The Company will not purchase any Notes from any of its or Washington Mutual’s officers, directors or affiliates.

Item 8. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company.

      Sections (a) and (b) of Item 8 of the Schedule TO are amended and restated as follows:

     (a) No Notes are beneficially owned by any person identified in Item 3 of this Schedule TO or any associate or majority owned subsidiary of those persons.

     (b) Except for the Company’s assumption of the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture in connection with the Merger and Washington Mutual’s full and unconditional guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture, no person identified in Item 3 of this Schedule TO, no associate or majority owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual or the Company, and no director or executive officer of any subsidiary of Washington Mutual or the Company has engaged in any transaction in the Notes during the 60 days preceding either the date of the Schedule TO or the date of this Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO.

Item 10. Financial Statements.

     Section (a) of Item 10 of the Schedule TO is amended and supplemented to incorporate by reference the information set forth in “Selected Historical Financial Data of Washington Mutual” of the Supplement.

Item 11. Additional Information.

     Section (a)(1) of Item 11 of the Schedule TO is amended and restated as follows:

     (a)(1) There are no material agreements, arrangements, understandings or relationships between Washington Mutual or the Company and any of their respective executive officers, directors, controlling persons or subsidiaries that are material to a holder’s decision whether to sell, tender or hold the Notes.
