Item 5.02                                             Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

 

Effective October 1, 2010, the Board of Directors of Titan Machinery Inc. (the “Company”), acting pursuant to authority granted by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, increased the size of the Company’s Board of Directors to nine and elected Stanley Dardis as a Class III director.  Mr. Dardis was not appointed to serve on any committee of the Board at this time.  The newly elected director was not named as director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any third person.  In April 2010, Mr. Dardis retired from his position as Chief Executive Officer and a director of Bremer Financial Corporation, a bank holding company.  The Company has a credit facility, consisting of a term loan and a revolving line of credit, with Bremer Bank National Association, a subsidiary of Bremer Financial Corporation.  The Company’s credit facility with Bremer Bank National Association was made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time such facility was executed for comparable loans with other unrelated banks and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or other unfavorable features.

 

The full text of the press release announcing the appointment of director is set forth in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated in this Current Report as if fully set forth herein.
