ITEM
2.02
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
.
TOR Minerals International, Inc. ("TOR", the "Company",
"We", "Our"), producer of synthetic titanium dioxide and color pigments,
specialty aluminas, and other high performance mineral fillers, recently received
a waiver from Bank of America for being in technical violation of certain financial
coverage ratios in its US Credit Facility, as more fully disclosed on our Form
8-K, filed on August 18, 2008.  One of the provisions of the waiver and amended
agreement required that the Company raise at least $1 million in cash equity
contributions not later than September 15, 2008, which the Company has now
satisfied.  The cash equity contributions are part of a private placement the Company
is conducting with accredited investors as discussed in Item 3.02 below.
ITEM
3.02
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
On September 15, 2008, the Company entered into
agreements for the sale of 60 investment units (each, a "Unit") in exchange for
an aggregate of $1,800,000.  These sales are part of our private placement
involving 70 Units offered at a price of $30,000 per Unit.  Each Unit consists
of 25,000 shares of our common stock, $0.25 par value ("Common Stock"), and a
warrant to purchase an additional 25,000 shares of Common Stock.  Each warrant
is exercisable for three years at a price of $2.00 per share.  We anticipate finalizing
the sale of the remaining 10 units offered in the Private Placement prior to
September 30, 2008.  The funds will be used for working capital purposes.
These securities have not been registered (i) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), on the ground that we believe
these transactions are exempt from registration under the Act by virtue of the
provisions of Section 3(b), Section 4(2) or Regulation D thereof, or (ii) under
the securities laws of the states in which the investors reside on the basis
that the transaction is exempt from registration under said laws.
