<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On September&nbsp;16, 2013, TriMas Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) issued 5,175,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
&#147;Shares&#148;) at an offering price to the public of $35.40 per share pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated September&nbsp;10, 2013 (the &#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;) by and among the Company, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC as representatives of the several Underwriters listed on Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement. The offering of the Shares was conducted pursuant to the Company&#146;s effective shelf registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S&#150;3 (Registration No.&nbsp;333&#150;172525) (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;). In connection with the offering of the Shares, the Company&#146;s executive officers, directors and certain
significant stockholders have entered into 45-day lock-up agreements in the form included in the Underwriting Agreement. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 675,000
shares of its common stock. The Underwriters exercised such option in full on September&nbsp;11, 2013, and such additional shares are included in the Shares. The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report. The opinion of Cahill Gordon&nbsp;&amp; Reindel LLP, relating to the validity of the Shares offered and sold pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this report. The Company is filing the Underwriting Agreement and the opinion as exhibits to this report for the purpose of incorporating them as exhibits to the Registration Statement. </P>

entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#146; obligations in this subsection&nbsp;(e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and
