Section 3 — Securities and Trading Markets
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The following sets forth the information required by Item 701 of Regulation S-K with respect to the unregistered sales of equity securities by Meta Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 22, 2010:
On January 22, 2010, the Company agreed to sell 265,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), to Cash America International, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Cash America”). Such sale is scheduled to close on January 26, 2010, at which time Cash America will hold approximately 9.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. The Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into by the parties includes a registration rights agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B to the Agreement.
Cash America will pay $21.33 per share of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,652,450. The Company paid no fees or commissions in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock to Cash America. The bulk of these proceeds will be used to fund growth in the Meta Payment Systems division.
The sale of the Common Stock was undertaken by the Company without registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act. Cash America is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D.
