formed in 1998 as a bank holding company existing under the laws of the State
of Georgia.&#160; On April&nbsp;24, 1998, we
completed a reorganization of Gainesville Bank &amp; Trust to the current
holding company structure by acquiring all of the outstanding common stock of
Gainesville Bank &amp; Trust in exchange for 1,676,160 shares of $5 par value GB&amp;T
Bancshares common stock.&#160; The acquisition
was accounted for as a pooling of interests.&#160;
We operate as a multi-bank holding company.</font></p>

of our business through our five wholly owned bank subsidiaries, Gainesville
Bank &amp; Trust, United Bank &amp; Trust, Community Trust Bank, HomeTown Bank
of Villa Rica and First National Bank of the South, and a wholly owned consumer
finance company, Community Loan Company. In August of 2004, we completed the
acquisitions of Southern Heritage Bank, based in Oakwood, Georgia, and Lumpkin
County Bank, based in Dahlonega, Georgia, by merging the two banks into
Gainesville Bank &amp; Trust.&#160; Our
subsidiary banks do business through 24 branches in their market areas of Hall,
Polk, Paulding, Cobb, Carroll, Baldwin, Bartow, Putnam, Clarke, and Lumpkin

banks, we offer a wide range of lending services, including real estate,
consumer and commercial loans, to individuals, small businesses and other
organizations that are located in or conduct a substantial portion of their
business in our markets. We complement our lending operations with a full array
of retail deposit products and fee-based services to support our clients
including checking accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and
certificates of deposit.&#160; We also offer a
variety of other traditional banking services to our customers, including
drive-up and night depository facilities, 24-hour automated teller machines,
internet banking, telephone banking and limited trust services.&#160; We operate a consumer finance company, Community
Loan Company, which was formed in 1995.&#160;
This company typically makes loans of less than $3,000 to individuals,
which loans are primarily secured by personal property.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:simple;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On October 4, 2004, we announced the execution of a
definitive agreement to acquire FNBG Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of
the $115&nbsp;million-asset First National Bank of Gwinnett.&#160; Under the terms of the agreement, FNBG
Bancshares shareholders may elect to receive 1.38 shares of our common stock,
$30 in cash, or a combination of cash and our common stock, in exchange for
each share of FNBG Bancshares common stock, subject to an overall cash limit of
$8.7&nbsp;million.&#160; We expect to complete
this acquisition in the first quarter of 2005.</font></p>

can be given that we will be able to integrate our operations after an
acquisition without encountering difficulties including, without limitation,
the loss of key employees and customers, the disruption of our respective
ongoing businesses or possible inconsistencies in standards, controls,
procedures and policies.&#160; Successful
integration of our operations with another entity&#146;s will depend primarily on
our ability to consolidate operations, systems and procedures and to eliminate
redundancies and costs.&#160; If we have
difficulties with the integration, we might not achieve the economic benefits
we expect to result from any particular acquisition or merger.&#160; In addition, we may experience greater than

not repay their loans according to the terms of the loans, and the collateral
securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to assure repayment. We
may experience significant loan losses which could have a material adverse
effect on our operating results. Management makes various assumptions and
judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the
creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other
assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. We
maintain an allowance for loan losses in an attempt to cover any loan losses
which may occur. In determining the size of the allowance, we rely on an
analysis of our loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, volume and
types of loans, trends in classification, volume and trends in delinquencies and
non-accruals, national and local economic conditions and other pertinent
information. As we expand into new markets, our determination of the size of
the allowance could be understated due to our lack of familiarity with
market-specific factors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:hanging;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If our assumptions are
wrong, our current allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses,
and adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or
adverse developments in our loan portfolio. Additions to our allowance would
significantly decrease our net income.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:hanging;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, federal and
state regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may
require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan
charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. Any
increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by
these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our operating
results.</font></p>

depends upon the growth in population, income levels, deposits and housing
starts in our market areas. If the communities in which we operate do not grow
or if prevailing economic conditions locally or nationally are unfavorable, our
business may be negatively impacted.&#160; In
addition, the economies of the communities in which we operate are
substantially dependent on the growth of the economy in metropolitan Atlanta.&#160; To the extent that economic conditions in
metropolitan Atlanta are unfavorable or do not continue to grow as projected,
the economies in our market areas would be adversely affected.&#160; Moreover, we cannot give any assurance that
we will benefit from any market growth or favorable economic conditions in our
market areas if they do occur.</font></p>

value of the real estate securing loans as collateral could be adversely
affected by unfavorable changes in market and economic conditions. As of September
30, 2004, approximately 87% of our total loans were secured by real
estate.&#160; Any sustained period of
increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses caused by adverse
market or economic conditions in our market areas could adversely affect the
value of our assets, our revenues, results of operations and financial
condition.</font></p>

will depend significantly upon the economic conditions in those and the
surrounding counties.&#160; Unfavorable
economic conditions in those and the surrounding counties may result in, among
other things, a deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit
and may harm the financial stability of our customers.&#160; Due to our limited market areas, these
negative conditions may have a more noticeable effect on us than would be
experienced by a larger institution more able to spread these risks of

sustain our historical rate of growth or may not even be able to grow our
business at all. In addition, our recent and rapid growth, including our growth
through acquisitions, may distort some of our historical financial ratios and
statistics. For example, our earnings achieved a compounded annual growth rate
of more than 11% between the end of 1998 and the end of 2003.&#160; Our strong performance during this time
period was, in part, the result of an extremely favorable residential mortgage
refinancing market and our successful integration of acquisitions which
occurred during that period.&#160; In the
future, we may not have the benefit of a favorable interest rate environment, a
strong residential mortgage market, or the ability to find suitable candidates
for acquisition.&#160; Various factors, such
as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations and
competition, may also impede or prohibit our ability to expand our market
presence.&#160; If we experience a significant
decrease in our historical rate of growth, our results of operations and
financial condition may be adversely affected due to a high percentage of our
operating costs being fixed expenses.</font></p>

President and Chief Executive Officer, other members of our senior management
team, including our senior loan officers, and our board of directors, many of
whom have significant relationships with our customers.&#160; Our continued success will depend, to a

institutions both in attracting deposits and in making loans. In addition, we
have to attract our customer base from other existing financial institutions
and from new residents. Many of our competitors are well-established, larger
financial institutions. While we believe we can and do successfully compete
with these other financial institutions in our market areas, we may face a
competitive disadvantage as a result of our smaller size, lack of geographic
diversification and inability to spread our marketing costs across a broader
market. Although we attempt to compete by concentrating our marketing efforts
in our market areas with local advertisements, personal contacts, and greater
flexibility and responsiveness in working with local customers, we can give no
assurance that this strategy will be successful.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;punctuation-wrap:hanging;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We operate in a highly
regulated industry and are subject to examination, supervision, and
comprehensive regulation by various federal and state agencies. Our compliance
with these regulations is costly and restricts certain of our activities,
including payment of dividends, mergers and acquisitions, investments, loans
and interest rates charged, interest rates paid on deposits and locations of
offices. We are also subject to capitalization guidelines established by our
regulators, which require us to maintain adequate capital to support our
growth.&#160; Many of these regulations are
intended to protect depositors, the public and the FDIC rather than
shareholders.</font></p>

applicable to the banking industry could change at any time, and we cannot
predict the effects of these changes on our business and profitability. Because
government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all
commercial banks and bank holding companies, our cost of compliance could
adversely affect our earnings.&#160; In
addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq that are now
applicable to us, have increased the scope, complexity and cost of corporate
governance, reporting and disclosure practices, including the costs of
completing our audit and maintaining our internal controls.</font></p>

common stock on the Nasdaq National Market has been relatively low when
compared with larger companies listed on the Nasdaq National Market or the
stock exchanges. Because of this, it may be more difficult for you to sell a
substantial number of shares for the same price at which you could sell a
smaller number of shares. We cannot say with any certainty that a more active

effect, if any, that future sales of our common stock in the market, or the
availability of shares of common stock for sale in the market, will have on the
market price of our common stock. We, therefore, can give no assurance that
sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the market, or the potential

unenforceable.&#160; In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</p>

REOFFER PROSPECTUS
229,197 SHARES
COMMON STOCK
This reoffer prospectus relates to 229,197 shares of
our common stock that may be offered and resold from time to time by certain
shareholders of the Company, as described under the caption "Selling
Shareholders."  These shareholders are
directors, officers and employees of the Company and its various subsidiary
banks.
The shares of common stock that are being offered by
this reoffer prospectus are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act of
1933 and may also constitute "control securities" under the Securities Act.  This reoffer prospectus has been prepared for
the purpose of registering the shares under the Securities Act to allow for
future sales by selling shareholders, on a continuous or delayed basis, to the
public without restriction.  The selling shareholders
may sell their common stock by means of this reoffer prospectus and any
applicable prospectus supplement or they may decide to sell them by other
means, including pursuant to Rule 144, but they are not obligated to sell their
common stock at all.  The selling shareholders
may sell their common stock directly to purchasers, in private transactions, or
through agents, underwriters or broker-dealers. 
The sales may occur in transactions on the Nasdaq National Market at
prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions.  Each shareholder that sells shares of our common
stock pursuant to this reoffer prospectus may be deemed to be an "underwriter"
within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
Any commissions received by a broker or a dealer in connection with resales
of shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the
Securities Act.
You should read this reoffer prospectus carefully
before you make your investment decision. 
We will not receive any proceeds from any of the sales.  We are paying the expenses in registering the
shares, but all selling and other expenses including any applicable
underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes incurred by each
of the selling shareholders will be borne by that shareholder.
The shares offerred of common
stock pursuant to this reoffer prospectus involve a high degree of risk.  See "Risk Factors" on page 4 of this reoffer
prospectus.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "GBTB."  The last
reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market on January
11, 2005, was $23.98 per share.
Neither the Securities and
Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or
disapproved of these securities or determined if this reoffer prospectus is
truthful or complete.  Any representation
to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this
prospectus is January 12, 2005

ABOUT GB
&T BANCSHARES, INC.
GB&T Bancshares was
formed in 1998 as a bank holding company existing under the laws of the State
of Georgia.  On April 24, 1998, we
completed a reorganization of Gainesville Bank & Trust to the current
holding company structure by acquiring all of the outstanding common stock of
Gainesville Bank & Trust in exchange for 1,676,160 shares of $5 par value GB&T
Bancshares common stock.  The acquisition
was accounted for as a pooling of interests. 
We operate as a multi-bank holding company.
We currently conduct all
of our business through our five wholly owned bank subsidiaries, Gainesville
Bank & Trust, United Bank & Trust, Community Trust Bank, HomeTown Bank
of Villa Rica and First National Bank of the South, and a wholly owned consumer
finance company, Community Loan Company. In August of 2004, we completed the
acquisitions of Southern Heritage Bank, based in Oakwood, Georgia, and Lumpkin
County Bank, based in Dahlonega, Georgia, by merging the two banks into
Gainesville Bank & Trust.  Our
subsidiary banks do business through 24 branches in their market areas of Hall,
Polk, Paulding, Cobb, Carroll, Baldwin, Bartow, Putnam, Clarke, and Lumpkin
Counties, Georgia
Through our subsidiary
banks, we offer a wide range of lending services, including real estate,
consumer and commercial loans, to individuals, small businesses and other
organizations that are located in or conduct a substantial portion of their
business in our markets. We complement our lending operations with a full array
of retail deposit products and fee-based services to support our clients
including checking accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and
certificates of deposit.  We also offer a
variety of other traditional banking services to our customers, including
drive-up and night depository facilities, 24-hour automated teller machines,
internet banking, telephone banking and limited trust services.  We operate a consumer finance company, Community
Loan Company, which was formed in 1995. 
This company typically makes loans of less than $3,000 to individuals,
which loans are primarily secured by personal property.
On October 4, 2004, we announced the execution of a
definitive agreement to acquire FNBG Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of
the $115 million-asset First National Bank of Gwinnett.  Under the terms of the agreement, FNBG
Bancshares shareholders may elect to receive 1.38 shares of our common stock,
$30 in cash, or a combination of cash and our common stock, in exchange for
each share of FNBG Bancshares common stock, subject to an overall cash limit of
$8.7 million.  We expect to complete
this acquisition in the first quarter of 2005.
We recently opened Bank of Athens as a division of
Gainesville Bank & Trust.  Bank of
Athens offers a range of deposit and loan products and services, including
internet banking with cash management for both business and personal accounts.
We also plan to purchase property and develop plans for the construction of a
new bank building for Bank of Athens during 2005.
We also recently completed a public offering of
1,651,680 shares of its common stock at a price of $23.00 per share.  Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. served as
the sole underwriter of the offering.
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia.
Our principal executive offices are located at 500 Jesse Jewell Parkway, S.E.,
Gainesville, Georgia 30501, and our telephone number is (770) 531-1212.  We also have a website at http://www.gbt.com.  The information on our website is not
incorporated by reference in this reoffer prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
An
investment in shares of our common stock involves various risks. Before
deciding to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks
described below in conjunction with the other information in this prospectus
and information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including our
consolidated financial statements and related notes. Our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be harmed by any of the following
risks or other risks, which have not been identified or which we may believe
are immaterial or unlikely. The value or market price of our common stock could
decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your
investment. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements,
and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these
forward-looking statements.
Risks Related to Our Business
Significant risks accompany our recent rapid
expansion.
We have recently
experienced significant growth through acquisitions, including the acquisitions
of Lumpkin County Bank and Southern Heritage Bank in August 2004.  Additionally, we have recently entered into
an agreement to acquire FNBG Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary bank, First
National Bank of Gwinnett, which we expect to complete in the first quarter of
2005.  These acquisitions could place a
strain on our resources, systems, operations and cash flow.  Our ability to manage these acquisitions will
depend on our ability to monitor operations and control costs, maintain
effective quality controls, expand our internal management and technical and
accounting systems and otherwise successfully integrate acquired businesses
into our company.  If we fail to do so,
our business, financial condition and operating results will be negatively
impacted.
We face risks with respect to future expansion and
acquisitions or mergers.
We continuously seek to
acquire other financial institutions or parts of those institutions and may
continue to engage in de novo
branch expansion in the future. 
Acquisitions and mergers involve a number of risks, including:
•
the time and costs associated with
identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and merger partners may negatively
affect our business;
•
the estimates and judgments used to
evaluate credit, operations, management and market risks with respect to the
target institution may not be accurate;
•
the time and costs of evaluating new
markets, hiring experienced local management and opening new offices and the
time lags between these activities and the generation of sufficient assets and
deposits to support the costs of the expansion may negatively affect our
business;
•
we may not be able to finance an
acquisition without diluting our existing shareholders;
•
the diversion of our management's
attention to the negotiation of a transaction may detract from their business
productivity;
•
we may enter into new markets where we
lack experience;
•
we may introduce new products and
services into our business with which we have no prior experience; and
•
we may incur an impairment of goodwill
associated with an acquisition and experience adverse short-term effects on our
results of operations.
4
In addition, no assurance
can be given that we will be able to integrate our operations after an
acquisition without encountering difficulties including, without limitation,
the loss of key employees and customers, the disruption of our respective
ongoing businesses or possible inconsistencies in standards, controls,
procedures and policies.  Successful
integration of our operations with another entity's will depend primarily on
our ability to consolidate operations, systems and procedures and to eliminate
redundancies and costs.  If we have
difficulties with the integration, we might not achieve the economic benefits
we expect to result from any particular acquisition or merger.  In addition, we may experience greater than
expected costs or difficulties relating to such integration.
If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient
to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.
Our loan customers may
not repay their loans according to the terms of the loans, and the collateral
securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to assure repayment. We
may experience significant loan losses which could have a material adverse
effect on our operating results. Management makes various assumptions and
judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the
creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other
assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. We
maintain an allowance for loan losses in an attempt to cover any loan losses
which may occur. In determining the size of the allowance, we rely on an
analysis of our loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, volume and
types of loans, trends in classification, volume and trends in delinquencies and
non-accruals, national and local economic conditions and other pertinent
information. As we expand into new markets, our determination of the size of
the allowance could be understated due to our lack of familiarity with
market-specific factors.
If our assumptions are
wrong, our current allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses,
and adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or
adverse developments in our loan portfolio. Additions to our allowance would
significantly decrease our net income.
In addition, federal and
state regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may
require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan
charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. Any
increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by
these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our operating
results.
Our business is subject to the success of the local
economies where we operate.
Our success significantly
depends upon the growth in population, income levels, deposits and housing
starts in our market areas. If the communities in which we operate do not grow
or if prevailing economic conditions locally or nationally are unfavorable, our
business may be negatively impacted.  In
addition, the economies of the communities in which we operate are
substantially dependent on the growth of the economy in metropolitan Atlanta.  To the extent that economic conditions in
metropolitan Atlanta are unfavorable or do not continue to grow as projected,
the economies in our market areas would be adversely affected.  Moreover, we cannot give any assurance that
we will benefit from any market growth or favorable economic conditions in our
market areas if they do occur.
In addition, the market
value of the real estate securing loans as collateral could be adversely
affected by unfavorable changes in market and economic conditions. As of September
30, 2004, approximately 87% of our total loans were secured by real
estate.  Any sustained period of
increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses caused by adverse
market or economic conditions in our market areas could adversely affect the
value of our assets, our revenues, results of operations and financial
condition.
Risks associated with unpredictable economic and
political conditions may be amplified as a result of our limited market areas.
Conditions such as
inflation, recession, unemployment, high interest rates, short money supply,
scarce natural resources, international disorders, terrorism and other factors
beyond our control may adversely affect our profitability.  Because the majority of our borrowers are
individuals and businesses located and doing business in
5
Hall, Polk, Paulding, Cobb, Carroll, Bartow, Baldwin,
Putnam, Clarke, Oconee, Gwinnett and Lumpkin Counties, Georgia, our success
will depend significantly upon the economic conditions in those and the
surrounding counties.  Unfavorable
economic conditions in those and the surrounding counties may result in, among
other things, a deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit
and may harm the financial stability of our customers.  Due to our limited market areas, these
negative conditions may have a more noticeable effect on us than would be
experienced by a larger institution more able to spread these risks of
unfavorable local economic conditions across a large number of diversified
economies.
Our recent operating results may not be indicative
of our future operating results.
We may not be able to
sustain our historical rate of growth or may not even be able to grow our
business at all. In addition, our recent and rapid growth, including our growth
through acquisitions, may distort some of our historical financial ratios and
statistics. For example, our earnings achieved a compounded annual growth rate
of more than 11% between the end of 1998 and the end of 2003.  Our strong performance during this time
period was, in part, the result of an extremely favorable residential mortgage
refinancing market and our successful integration of acquisitions which
occurred during that period.  In the
future, we may not have the benefit of a favorable interest rate environment, a
strong residential mortgage market, or the ability to find suitable candidates
for acquisition.  Various factors, such
as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations and
competition, may also impede or prohibit our ability to expand our market
presence.  If we experience a significant
decrease in our historical rate of growth, our results of operations and
financial condition may be adversely affected due to a high percentage of our
operating costs being fixed expenses.
Departures of our key personnel may harm our ability
to operate successfully.
Our success has been and
continues to be largely dependent upon the services of Richard A. Hunt, our
President and Chief Executive Officer, other members of our senior management
team, including our senior loan officers, and our board of directors, many of
whom have significant relationships with our customers.  Our continued success will depend, to a
significant extent, on the continued service of these key personnel.  The prolonged unavailability or the
unexpected loss of any of them could have an adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.  We
cannot be assured of the continued service of our senior management team or our
board of directors with us.
Our continued pace of growth may require us to raise
additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it
is needed.
We are required by
federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital
to support our operations. We anticipate that our capital resources will
satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable future.  We may at some point, however, need to raise
additional capital to support our continued growth.
Our ability to raise
additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets
at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial
performance.  Accordingly, we cannot
assure you of our ability to raise additional capital if needed on favorable
terms.  If we cannot raise additional
capital when needed, our ability to expand our operations through internal
growth and acquisitions could be materially impaired.
Competition from financial institutions and other
financial service providers may adversely affect our profitability.
The banking business is
highly competitive and we experience competition in each of our market areas
from many other financial institutions. 
We compete with commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan
associations, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, securities
brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds, and other mutual
funds, as well as other super-regional, national and international financial
institutions such as Bank of America, BB&T, Regions Bank, SunTrust, Synovus
and Wachovia that operate offices in our market areas and elsewhere.
6
We compete with these
institutions both in attracting deposits and in making loans. In addition, we
have to attract our customer base from other existing financial institutions
and from new residents. Many of our competitors are well-established, larger
financial institutions. While we believe we can and do successfully compete
with these other financial institutions in our market areas, we may face a
competitive disadvantage as a result of our smaller size, lack of geographic
diversification and inability to spread our marketing costs across a broader
market. Although we attempt to compete by concentrating our marketing efforts
in our market areas with local advertisements, personal contacts, and greater
flexibility and responsiveness in working with local customers, we can give no
assurance that this strategy will be successful.
We are subject to extensive regulation that could
limit or restrict our activities and adversely affect our earnings.
We operate in a highly
regulated industry and are subject to examination, supervision, and
comprehensive regulation by various federal and state agencies. Our compliance
with these regulations is costly and restricts certain of our activities,
including payment of dividends, mergers and acquisitions, investments, loans
and interest rates charged, interest rates paid on deposits and locations of
offices. We are also subject to capitalization guidelines established by our
regulators, which require us to maintain adequate capital to support our
growth.  Many of these regulations are
intended to protect depositors, the public and the FDIC rather than
shareholders.
The laws and regulations
applicable to the banking industry could change at any time, and we cannot
predict the effects of these changes on our business and profitability. Because
government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all
commercial banks and bank holding companies, our cost of compliance could
adversely affect our earnings.  In
addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq that are now
applicable to us, have increased the scope, complexity and cost of corporate
governance, reporting and disclosure practices, including the costs of
completing our audit and maintaining our internal controls.
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Common Stock
The trading volume in our common stock has been low,
and the sale of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market
could depress the price of our common stock.
The trading volume in our
common stock on the Nasdaq National Market has been relatively low when
compared with larger companies listed on the Nasdaq National Market or the
stock exchanges. Because of this, it may be more difficult for you to sell a
substantial number of shares for the same price at which you could sell a
smaller number of shares. We cannot say with any certainty that a more active
and liquid trading market for our common stock will develop.
We cannot predict the
effect, if any, that future sales of our common stock in the market, or the
availability of shares of common stock for sale in the market, will have on the
market price of our common stock. We, therefore, can give no assurance that
sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the market, or the potential
for large amounts of sales in the market, would not cause the price of our
common stock to decline or impair our future ability to raise capital through
sales of our common stock.
Our ability to pay dividends is limited and we may
be unable to pay future dividends.
Our ability to pay
dividends is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain
sufficient consolidated capital. The ability of our bank subsidiaries to pay
dividends to us is limited by their obligations to maintain sufficient capital
and by other general restrictions on their dividends that are applicable to our
regulated bank subsidiaries. If these regulatory requirements are not met, our
subsidiary banks will not be able to pay dividends to us, and we may be unable
to pay dividends on our common stock.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Some of the statements of
GB&T contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including,
without limitation, matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995.  Forward-looking statements
include statements about the competitiveness of the banking industry, potential
regulatory obligations, our entrance and expansion into other markets, our
other business strategies and other statements that are not historical facts.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results. When
we use words like "may," "plan," "contemplate," "anticipate," "believe," "intend,"
"continue," "expect," "project," "predict," "estimate," "could," "should," "would,"
"will," and similar expressions, you should consider them as identifying
forward-looking statements, although we may use other phrasing. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on our
beliefs and assumptions, and on the information available to us at the time
that these disclosures were prepared. Factors that may cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements include, among others, the following possibilities:
(1) competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions
may increase significantly; (2) changes in the interest rate environment
may reduce margins; (3) general economic conditions may be less favorable
than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit
quality and/or a reduction in demand for credit; (4) legislative or
regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely
affect the businesses in which we are engaged; (5) we may be unable to obtain
required shareholder or regulatory approval for our proposed acquisitions;
(6) costs or difficulties related to the integration of our businesses,
may be greater than expected; (7) deposit attrition, customer loss or
revenue loss following acquisitions may be greater than expected;
(8) competitors may have greater financial resources and develop products
that enable such competitors to compete more successfully than us; and
(9) adverse changes may occur in the equity markets.  You should refer to the risks detailed under
the "Risk Factors" section included in this prospectus and in our periodic and
current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for specific
factors which could cause our actual results to be significantly different from
those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  Many of these factors are beyond our ability
to control or predict, and readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on
such forward-looking statements. We do not intend to, and assume no
responsibility for updating or revising any forward-looking statements contained
in this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale

shareholder.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The 229,197 shares of our common stock to which this
reoffer prospectus relates are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule

(1)  Certain non-affiliates of
GB&T, each of whom own less than 1,000 shares to which this Registration
Statement relates, may use this reoffer prospectus for reoffers and resales,
but are not named herein pursuant to Instruction C(3)(b) of Form S-8.  Such unnamed selling shareholders own an
aggregate of 6,265 shares covered by this reoffer prospectus.
(2)  Assumes the sale of all
securities offered hereby, based upon 11,703,376 shares of common stock
outstanding on November 30, 2004.
Any selling shareholder may from time to time sell
under this reoffer prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock owned by
it.  Because the selling shareholder is
not obligated to sell any or all of the shares of common stock held by it, we
cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock that the selling
shareholder will beneficially own after the offering.
9
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of common stock covered by this reoffer
prospectus are being registered by us for the account of the selling
shareholders.
Each selling shareholder may sell his or her shares of
common stock for value from time to time under this reoffer prospectus in one
or more transactions on the Nasdaq National Market, in negotiated transactions
or in a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the
time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices
otherwise negotiated.  The selling
shareholder may effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through
broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the respective selling
shareholder and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom such broker-dealers
may act as agent.  Such compensation as
to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.
In connection with their sales, a selling shareholder
and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions
they receive and the proceeds of any sale of shares may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration
of the shares of common stock.  Any
commissions or other fees payable to broker-dealers in connection with any sale
of shares will be borne by the selling shareholder or other party selling such
shares.  In order to comply with certain
states' securities laws, if applicable, the shares may be sold in such
jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In certain states, the shares may not be sold
unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state, or
unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is
obtained or complied with.  Sales of the
shares must also be made by the selling shareholders in compliance with all
other applicable state securities laws and regulations.
There can be no assurances that any selling
shareholder will sell any or all of the common stock pursuant to this
prospectus.
In addition, any shares of common stock covered by
this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities
Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The Articles of
Incorporation of GB&T Bancshares,
Inc., as amended, provide that GB&T may indemnify or obligate itself to
indemnify its officers and directors for their actions to the maximum extent
permitted under the Georgia Business Corporation Code.  Article Nine
of GB&T's bylaws provides that GB&T may indemnify or reimburse any
person for reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with any action,
suit, or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, to which such person is made a
party by reason of his or her position as a director, trustee, officer,
employee, or agent of GB&T, or by reason of such person serving, at the
request of GB&T, as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of
another firm, corporation, trust, or other organization or enterprise. However,
GB&T will not indemnify any such person in relation to any matter as to
which he or she is adjudged guilty or liable of gross negligence, willful
misconduct or criminal acts in the performance of his or her duties to
GB&T, or to any firm, corporation, trust, or other organization or
enterprise with which such person was engaged at the request of
GB&T.  In addition, GB&T will not indemnify any such person
with respect to any matter that has been the subject of a compromise
settlement, unless indemnification is approved by:  (a) a court of
competent jurisdiction; (b) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of capital stock of GB&T; or (c) a majority of disinterested directors then
in office.
Article Nine of GB&T's
bylaws further authorizes GB&T, upon approval by GB&T's Board of
Directors, to pay expenses in advance of final disposition of any action, suit
or proceeding involving a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent if
such person submits an undertaking to GB&T that he or she will repay such
amount unless it is ultimately determined that he or she was entitled to such
amount under Article Nine.
As provided under Georgia
law, the liability of a director may not be eliminated or limited (a) for any
appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any business opportunity of
GB&T; (b) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (c) for unlawful corporate distributions; or (d) for
any transaction from which the director received an improper benefit.
GB&T's directors and
officers are insured against losses arising from any claim against them as such
for wrongful acts or omissions, subject to certain limitations.
Item 7.
Exemption from
Registration Claimed.
The shares of GB&T's common stock which are the
subject of the reoffer prospectus contained in Part I of this Registration
Statement were issued by GB&T to certain directors, officers and employees
of GB&T and its wholly owned bank subsidiaries prior to the filing of this
Registration Statement pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the
GB&T Bancshares, Inc. Stock Option Plan of 1997.  Due to the nature of the relationship between
GB&T and these individuals and further due to the fact that all of the
individuals who exercised their options maintain their principal residence in
Georgia, all of the above shares were issued in reliance upon the exemptions
from registration under the Securities Act contained in Section 3(a)(11) and/or
Section  4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
14
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement;
Provided,
however,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of any offering.
(b)
The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that

this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
