Item 3.02                                                                     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On December 11, 2007, immediately prior to the closing of its initial public offering (the “IPO”), Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”) issued 805,696 shares of its common stock pursuant to a Recapitalization Agreement, dated August 16, 2007 whereby the Company agreed to issue the shares to holders of the Company’s subordinated convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $3,350,000 issued in April 2003, in exchange for the retirement of such debentures.  A holder elected to exchange its debentures on November 26, 2007 for 836,285 shares in accordance with the Recapitalization Agreement.

 

On December 11, 2007, immediately prior to the closing of its IPO, the Company issued an aggregate of 907,605 shares of its common stock to CNH Capital America LLC (“CNH”), consisting of 666,667 shares issued in full satisfaction of a $3,000,000 subordinated convertible note issued by the Company in favor of CNH with a conversion rate of $4.50 per share and 240,938 shares issued upon the exercise for cash of warrants held by CNH at $4.50 per share, for which the Company received cash in the amount of $1,084,221.  CNH sold all of these shares in the IPO.

 

On December 11, 2007, the Company issued an aggregate of 235,294 shares of its common stock as consideration for the acquisition of Reiten & Young International, Inc. to the former shareholders of that entity.

 

The Company believes each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based on the limited number of offerees in any such offering, representations and warranties made by such offerees in the particular transactions, or the identity of such offerees as either accredited investors or an executive officer or director of the Company.

 

Following the issuance of these shares and the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, there are approximately 13.36 million shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding.
