The Company, in partnership with OEP and RDIF, previously acquired all of the equity interests in Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia. The Company is party to the Shareholders' Agreement which was entered into in connection with the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom. The agreement contains a settlement put option which was exercisable during a six-month period beginning July 9, 2018. The settlement put option required Titan to purchase the equity interests from OEP and RDIF in Voltyre-Prom with cash or Titan common stock, at a value set by the agreement.

On January 8, 2019, the Company received notification of exercise of the put option from OEP. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company made a payment to OEP in the amount of $16 million representing the majority of the interest on the amount due to OEP. On July 30, 2019, the Titan Purchaser, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into the OEP Agreement with subsidiaries of OEP, relating to the settlement put option under the Shareholders' Agreement that was exercised by OEP. Pursuant to the terms of the OEP Agreement, on July 31, 2019, the Titan Purchaser paid OEP $30.7 million in cash, which together with the $16 million paid to OEP during the second quarter of 2019, fully satisfies the settlement put option exercised by OEP under the Shareholders' Agreement. Immediately following the closing, OEP ceased to have any ownership interest in, and the Titan Purchaser and RDIF owned 64.3% and 35.7%, respectively, of Voltyre-Prom.

The Company has included the results of Voltyre-Prom in the Company's condensed consolidated statements, as Voltyre-Prom was a variable interest entity for which Titan was the primary beneficiary. Titan will continue to include the results of Voltyre-Prom in the Company's condensed consolidated statements with a decrease in the noncontrolling interest.
