SCHEDULE TO

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO first filed by Blackstone Alternative Alpha Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Fund”), on June 28, 2013. The Schedule TO relates to the tender offer by the Fund to purchase up to 34,350 of its outstanding shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”), or such fewer number of Shares as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, at a price equal to the net asset value per Share as of September 30, 2013 or a later date determined by the Fund if the Offer (as defined below) is extended. The Offer is made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 28, 2013 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which together with the Offer to Purchase constitutes the “Offer”).

All information in the Offer, including all exhibits thereto, which were previously filed with the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment No. 1, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided for herein.

Items 1 and 4. Summary Term Sheet; Terms of the Transaction.

Items 1 and 4 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The last paragraph of Section 2 of the Summary Term Sheet is deleted and replaced with the following:

As of the close of business on May 31, 2013, there were approximately 229,003 Shares issued and outstanding, with an estimated net asset value per share of $1,099.87. Shareholders may obtain monthly estimated net asset value information until the Expiration Date of the Offer by contacting the Administrator at (888) 386-9490, Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Of course, the value of the Shares tendered by Shareholders likely will change between the most recent time net asset value was calculated and communicated to you and the Valuation Date.
