TriMas Announces Share Repurchase Authorization

Board Authorizes up to $50 Million Buyback

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TriMas Corporation (NASDAQ: TRS) - a diversified global manufacturer of engineered and applied products - announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program that enables the Company to purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding common stock.

"The board's authorization of the repurchase program provides for another capital allocation alternative, reflecting our commitment to optimizing our capital structure and enhancing shareholder value," said Dave Wathen, TriMas president and chief executive officer. "We expect our level of free cash flow generation to enable us to balance organic growth initiatives, debt reduction, investment in selective, value-creating acquisitions and share repurchases based on highest expected risk-adjusted returns."

The program is effective immediately and has no expiration date. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The extent to which TriMas repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, share price, regulatory requirements, other available uses of capital and other corporate considerations. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
