Committee (the &#147;SMCC&#148;) formed a broad, interdisciplinary and cross-functional committee, which we refer to as the Conflict Minerals Compliance Committee (&#147;CMCC&#148;), comprised of individuals representing multiple TriMas departments
and business units to oversee and drive conflict minerals compliance. The CMCC was charged with establishing a conflict minerals policy applicable to TriMas&#146; suppliers. The SMCC approved and recommended the adoption of the policy to the Audit
Committee of TriMas&#146; Board of Directors, which policy was subsequently adopted. The Company&#146;s conflict minerals policy is publicly available at www.trimascorp.com/supplier.htm and states: </P>

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section&nbsp;1502 and related regulations (the &#147;Act&#148;), which aims to prevent the use of conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in The
Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country defined in the Act and related regulations (collectively, &#147;DRC&#148;). Conflict Minerals include columbite-tantalite (coltan) (i.e. tantalum), cassiterite (i.e. tin), gold, wolframite
(i.e. tungsten) or their derivatives and could expand to include other minerals determined by the United States to be financing the DRC conflict. TriMas will strive to conduct diligence with respect to the sourcing of Conflict Minerals and will
comply with reporting obligations required by the Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the extent required by the Act, TriMas will seek from its suppliers information
related to the country of origin of any Conflict Minerals that are contained in materials, parts and/or products provided to TriMas for manufacture and/or sale of products to our customers. TriMas will request suppliers who supply TriMas with
materials containing Conflict Minerals to procure these materials from a validated supply chain. TriMas may rely on efforts by third party organizations and third party assessments to enhance TriMas&#146; efforts in furtherance of this policy. </P>

better transparency within TriMas&#146; conflict minerals supply chain and to facilitate communication of policies and expectations, TriMas engaged with a third-party information management service provider (Source Intelligence) to complement
internal management processes. The Source Intelligence on-line system is used to identify suppliers in TriMas&#146; supply chain and the relationships between them (e.g., Tier 1, Tier 2, etc.), collect, store and review information on conflict
minerals sourcing practices, track information on SORs, and flag risks based on SOR sourcing practices. This system is designed to allow collection and housing of data on supply chain circumstances, which can be updated to reflect changing realities
within the supply chain, such as new customer-supplier relationships and new products. </P>

were provided various avenues to obtain additional information and guidance regarding TriMas&#146; conflict minerals compliance program, including an on-line supplier education portal (http://www.sourceintelligence.com/supplier/), and contact email
