Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement among The Monarch Cement Company (the "Company") and the owners of Kay Concrete Materials Co. ("Kay Concrete"), on April 15, 2011 the Company issued a total of 105,750 shares of the Company's capital stock, par value $2.50, having one vote per share, as part of the purchase consideration for the Company's acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Kay Concrete.  The Company's issuance of such shares of its capital stock, par value $2.50, was exempt from the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof because such issuance did not involve a public offering.
 
Kay Concrete is engaged in the ready mix concrete business from facilities located in southwest Missouri, and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
