ITEM 2.03
CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT
 
On August 6, 2009, Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. (the "Company") completed the sale of  an aggregate of $7.2 million in 10 % Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) to certain accredited investors (the “Holders”).  The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and mature on August 4, 2012.  The Debentures are payable with one initial payment of interest only due February 4, 2010, and, thereafter in ten equal quarterly principal payments, plus accrued interest thereon.  At the option of the Holders, the Debentures may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $8.75 per share.  The Debentures are redeemable by the Company at any time if the closing price of its common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least $11.50 per share.  The Debentures provide that an event of default occurs if: the Company should fail to pay any principal or interest when due; the Company should fail to convert any Debenture when required; the Company shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained within the Debenture; there are cross defaults to other indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000; there is a reorganization, liquidation, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or other bankruptcy default; or a final unsatisfied judgment not covered by insurance aggregating an excess of $1,000,000 occurs against the Company and is not stayed, bonded or discharged within seventy-five (75) days.

In connection with the sale of the Debentures, the Company also issued an aggregate of 164,569 warrants (the “Warrants”) to the Holders, on a pro-rata basis.  The Company issued each Holder a number of Warrants equal to 20% of the number of shares of common stock into which each Holder’s Debenture is convertible.  The Warrants have an exercise price of $8.75 and expire on August 5, 2012.  The Warrants provide that the Company has the right to require exercise of the Warrants if the closing price of the Company’s common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least $12.25.

The proceeds from the sale of the Debentures and Warrants are intended to be utilized to make future acquisitions, and may be utilized for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
ITEM 3.02
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On August 6, 2009, the Company sold Debentures and Warrants, as described immediately above in Item 2.03.  Merriman Curhan Ford (“Merriman”) acted as the placement agent in the transaction, and Montgomery Street Research (“Montgomery”) acted as an adviser to the company, whereby Merriman received a commission and Montgomery received compensation in connection with advising the Company.  Merriman and Montgomery received an aggregate of $355,900 in connection with the sale of the Debentures and Warrants.  The Debentures and Warrants were sold under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation D.  All of the offers and sales of the Debentures and Warrants were made exclusively to “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) in offers and sales not involving a public offering.  The Holders purchased the securities for their own account and not with a view towards or for resale.
