TRIMAS CORP

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 about the Transaction. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “plan” or other comparable words, or by discussions of strategy that may involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: the ability to consummate the Transaction on the expected terms and within the anticipated time period, or at all, which is dependent on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, some of which are outside of TriMas’ control; TriMas’s ability to realize the expected benefits of the Transaction; and the risk that regulatory approvals that are required to complete the Transaction may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose adverse conditions. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K. The cautionary statements set forth above should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that TriMas or persons acting on its behalf may issue. TriMas caution readers not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. TriMas does not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
