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 by the parties on January 29, 2010:

 

On January 29, 2010, the Company agreed to sell 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), to NetSpend Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetSpend”).  The sale closed on January 29, 2010, and at the conclusion of the sale NetSpend held approximately 4.9% 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.  No board seats or management rights were provided to NetSpend in connection with its investment in Meta.

 

NetSpend paid $21.40 per share of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,210,000.  The Company paid no fees or commissions in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock to NetSpend.  The bulk of these proceeds will be used to support growth in the Meta Payment Systems division.

 

The sale of the Common Stock was undertaken by the registrant 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.  NetSpend is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D.
