The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
January 31, 2006 by the Registrants (the "Initial 13D"), with respect to the
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of American
Railcar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), is hereby
amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All capitalized
terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as

On January 20, 2006, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock

"Foundation"), Modal purchased 4,290,918 Shares from the Foundation. The
aggregate purchase price for such Shares was $100,000,000. Modal paid the
purchase price with $10,000,000 in cash and the balance in a five-year
interest-only secured promissory note. The source of funding for the purchase of
these Shares was the general working capital of Modal.
On January 24, 2006, in connection with the closing of the Issuer's initial
public offering, Ms. Golden purchased 23,800 Shares through a directed share
program that was offered by the Issuer. The aggregate purchase price for these
Shares was $499,800. The source of funding for the purchase of these Shares was
Ms. Golden's personal funds.
From November 13, 2007 to November 19, 2007, Hopper purchased an aggregate
of 304,616 Shares in the open market for $4,607,842. The source of funding for
