Transaction Overview


Strategic Rationale
Significant progress has been made over the last several years to improve
and
refine
the
portfolio
and
strengthen
TriMas’
financial
position
Thorough review of strategic options led to the decision to spin-off
Cequent businesses
Spin-off will result in two independent, publicly traded companies with
increased strategic flexibility
Value creation for shareholders, customers and employees:
Allows each company to pursue a more focused strategy that leverages its strengths
Optimizes the financial profiles of each company to pursue distinct investment,
growth and capital allocation strategies
Provides two different and compelling investment opportunities that can be
achieved in a tax efficient manner
5
We believe a tax-free spin-off will create value for shareholders, customers and
employees while accelerating strategic transformation.


Transaction Overview
Creates two strong, highly competitive stand-alone public
companies
Distribute 100% of shares to TriMas shareholders
Expected
to
be
tax-free
to
TriMas’
U.S.
shareholders
Completion targeted for mid-year 2015
Subject to customary closing conditions, final approval by the
TriMas Board of Directors and tax-free opinion
Third party and legal entity reorganization-related expenses
estimated to be approximately $20 million over the next several
quarters
6
Transaction will result in two companies better positioned to
increase long-term value for shareholders.
