Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On June 30, 2010, QCR Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) closed a private placement offering resulting in the issuance of 25,000 shares of Series E Non-Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”) to accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $25 million, or $1,000 per share.  As consideration for the shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Company accepted cash or shares of its Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock” or Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”).  All 268 issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and all 300 issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock were tendered to the Company in the offering in exchange for shares of Series E Preferred Stock based on the aggregate $20.9 million liquidation value of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock.  The Company also received $4.1 million in cash subscriptions for Series E Preferred Stock in the offering.

The shares of Series E Preferred Stock have a stated dividend rate of 7.00%.  Dividends are not accrued and are payable only if declared, and no dividends may be declared on the Company’s common stock unless and until dividends have been declared on the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, issued by the Company to the U.S. Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program.  The shares of Series E Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $1,000 divided by the conversion price then in effect.  The conversion price will initially be $12.15, subject to anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events.  The Company has the right, on or after the third anniversary of the issuance date, to convert the Series E Preferred Stock into the number of shares of common stock equal to $1,000 divided by the conversion price then in effect. The Company may only exercise this option if the Company’s common stock price equals or exceeds $17.22 for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days and the Company has paid full dividends on the shares of Series E Preferred Stock for four consecutive quarters.

The Company has the right, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the issuance date, subject to all required regulatory approvals, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding.  The shares can be redeemed for an amount per share in cash which is equal to: (i) $1,000; plus (ii) any declared but unpaid dividends for the then-current dividend period.  The Company’s Designation of Rights, Preferences and Limitations of Series E Non-Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Series E Preferred Stock issued in the private placement was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation D of the rules promulgated under the Act.
