REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
 
The Company has a shareholders’ agreement with One Equity Partners (OEP) and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) which was used for the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia. The agreement contains a settlement put option which is exercisable beginning in July of 2018 and may require Titan to purchase the shares of OEP and RDIF at a value set by the agreement.

The redemption features of the settlement put option are not solely within the Company’s control and the noncontrolling interest is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest separately from Total equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the redemption value of the settlement put option. If the redemption value is greater than carrying value of the noncontrolling interest, the increase is adjusted directly to retained earnings, or additional paid-in capital if there are no available retained earnings applicable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest.

The following is a reconciliation of redeemable noncontrolling interest as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands):
