Item 1. Security and Issuer
This statement on Schedule

(the "Common Stock"), of The Gap, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Issuer”). The address of the
principal executive office of the Issuer is: Two Folsom Street, San
Francisco, CA 94105. This Statement amends and supplements the prior statement on Schedule
13D filed by Fisher Core Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership,

for which such individual is the trustee, a "Reporting Person" and
collectively the “Reporting Persons”)
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2004 and
amended on March 16, 2006, and January 29, 2007 (the "Schedule
13D").
Item 2. Identity and Background

Statement is filed on behalf of each of the Reporting Persons to disclose the
execution of agreements with the Issuer to repurchase shares of Common Stock
owned by such Reporting Person (referred to as “Purchase Agreements”) as more

The parties to the LP Agreement entered into such agreement for the

Issuer held by Fisher Core Holdings L.P. will require a majority vote of the
general partners. The limited partners
have no voting or dispositive control over any shares held by Fisher Core
Holdings L.P. All references to the LP
Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the LP Agreement
included as Exhibit 1 to the Schedule 13D, which is incorporated by reference
herein. As general partners of Fisher Core Holdings L.P.,
Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J. Fisher may be deemed to
beneficially own the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned
by Fisher Core Holdings L.P.
Accordingly, through the execution of the LP Agreement, the Reporting
Persons may be deemed to constitute a "group" under Section 13(d)
of the Act, with respect to their beneficial ownership of the shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer. However,
the Reporting Persons expressly declare that the filing of this Statement is
not intended as, and should not be deemed to be, an admission that any
Reporting Person, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or otherwise, is
the individual beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
held by other members of the group, except to the extent of each general
partner's ownership interest in Fisher Core Holdings L.P. b) The
address of the principal business and principal office for the Reporting
Persons is c/o Pisces, Inc., One Maritime Plaza, Suite 1400, San Francisco,
CA 94111. c) (1) Robert J. Fisher is a member of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, which is an international specialty retailer that

Directors and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, which
service ended on August 3, 2007. The
business address of the Issuer is Two Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. (2) John J. Fisher is principally employed as
President of Pisces, Inc., which is a family management company. The business address of Pisces, Inc. is One
Maritime Plaza, Suite 1400, San Francisco, CA 94111. (3) William S. Fisher is a managing director of
Manzanita Capital Ltd., a private equity investment firm. (4) Fisher Core Holdings L.P. is a limited
partnership formed for the purpose of holding, managing and voting the shares

J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J. Fisher. Fisher Core Holdings L.P. is a Delaware
limited partnership. | |

| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
| The Reporting Persons are
deemed to beneficially own certain shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as
reflected in this Statement, including shares beneficially owned by the other
Reporting Persons, as a result of their entry into the LP Agreement as more
specifically described in Item 2a) above.
No consideration was used to acquire beneficial ownership of the shares
of Common Stock of the Issuer which the Reporting Persons are deemed to have
acquired beneficial ownership of as a result of having entered into the LP
Agreement or otherwise since the filing of the Schedule 13D. In addition to the shares
that the Reporting Persons are deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership
of as a result of the LP Agreement, Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and
John J. Fisher also previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
prior to the registration of such shares under the Act or by gift. Robert J. Fisher and William S. Fisher have
also previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the Issuer upon the
exercise of options. All such shares
were acquired with personal funds. From time to time, the Reporting Persons have transferred a portion of
their shares to various entities controlled by them or disposed of certain
shares to third parties by gift.
Additionally, as reported in Form 4 filings made with the SEC pursuant
to Section 16 of the Act, the Reporting Persons have sold shares of Issuer
Common Stock in the open market from time to time. | |
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
| This Statement is being filed to update and
supplement the Issuer Common Stock ownership information included in the
Schedule 13D and to disclose the execution of the Purchase Agreements as more
fully described in Item 6 below. The Reporting Persons intend to review their
respective investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may, at any
time, consistent with the obligations of the Reporting Persons under the
federal securities laws, determine to increase or decrease their respective
ownership of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock through purchases or sales
of such Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions or by gift. The review of
their respective investments in the Issuer by the Reporting Persons will
depend on various factors, including the Issuer's business prospects, other
developments concerning the Issuer, general economic conditions, money and
stock market conditions, and any other facts and circumstances which may
become known to the Reporting Persons regarding their respective investments
in the Issuer. At the time of filing
this Statement, the Reporting Persons have no plans to purchase additional
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions but may engage in such transactions in the future. The Reporting Persons have no present plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate
transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the
Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a sale or transfer of a material
amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any change in
the board of directors or management of the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries, (iv) any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of the Issuer, (v) any other material change in the Issuer's
business or corporate structure; (vi) changes in the Issuer's charter or
bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the
Issuer by any person, (vii) causing a series of securities of the Issuer to
be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities
association, (viii) a series of equity securities of the Issuer becoming
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Act or (ix) any action similar to any of those described above. However, Robert J. Fisher, as a member of
the Board of Directors of the Issuer, may, in such capacity, from time to
time, be involved in discussions which relate to the transactions described
in this Item 4 and thus retains his right to modify his plans with respect to
the transactions described in this Item 4, to acquire or dispose of
securities of the Issuer and to formulate plans and proposals which could
result in the occurrence of any such events, subject to applicable laws and
regulations. The Reporting Persons
disclaim any obligation to report on any plans with respect to the
transactions described in this Item 4 that develop as a result of the Fisher
family members' involvement in the ongoing management as an officer or
director of the Issuer and participation in decisions regarding the Issuer's
transactions. Each of these Reporting
Persons may sell or otherwise dispose of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
from time to time as circumstances dictate. | |
