This Amendment No. 2 amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed on May 5, 2008 by Potash Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PAL”), PRV Investors I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PRV”), and J. Landis Martin (“Martin”) with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Intrepid Potash, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) (as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on November 20, 2008, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

On November 24, 2008, Martin sold an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market at a weighted average sale price of $17.8666 per share.

On November 25, 2008, Martin sold an aggregate of 174,800 shares of Common Stock in the open market at a weighted average sale price of $17.9197 per share.

On November 26, 2008, Martin sold an aggregate of 85,200 shares of Common Stock in the open market at a weighted average sale price of $18.3039 per share.

On December 8, 2008, PAL sold an aggregate of 10,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market at a weighted average sale price of $16.8575 per share.

On December 8, 2008, PRV sold an aggregate of 11,046 shares of Common Stock in the open market at a weighted average sale price of $16.8575 per share and distributed 23,954 shares of Common Stock pro rata in accordance with its governing instruments to its members.

Following such sales and distribution:

(a) Martin is the beneficial owner of 1,038,820 shares of Common Stock (approximately 1.4% of the outstanding shares).

(b) Sissel is the beneficial owner of 199,444 shares of Common Stock (approximately 0.3% of the outstanding shares).

(c) PAL and PRV no longer hold any shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, as of December 8, 2008, the Reporting Persons no longer may be deemed a “group”, within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act, with the other Original Stockholders and therefore no longer may be deemed to beneficially own more than 5% of the Common Stock.
