Titan is offering its bondholders USD 199 in principal amount of the new notes it plans to issue, in addition to 3,075 new shares in Titan and USD 12.50 in cash for each USD 1,000 held as the principal amount of the existing notes. Guaranteed on a senior basis, the seven year USD 400 million bonds were previously issued in March 2005 and have an outstanding principal amount of USD 315.4 million.
