Trinity Industries, Inc. Announces Notice of Redemption of 3⅞% Convertible Subordinated Notes

Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) (the “Company”) today announced that it has given notice of its election to redeem all of the outstanding 3⅞% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2036 (CUSIP No. 89 6522 AF 6) (the “Notes”) on June 1, 2018 (the “Redemption Date”) pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Notes. The outstanding Notes will be redeemed for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, Redemption Date. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding is approximately $449.4 million.

In addition, the Company has notified Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, that pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes have become convertible as a result of the Company’s election to redeem the Notes. Subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, holders may convert their Notes at any time until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 30, 2018. The current conversion rate of the Notes is 41.4390 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver to the holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a “settlement amount,” as defined in the Indenture governing the Notes, equal to the sum of the daily settlement amount for each for the 20 consecutive trading days of the cash settlement averaging period. Although the Company has the option to make the conversion payment in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock (or cash in lieu of some or all of the shares of common stock), the Company intends to make the entire conversion payment with respect to all Notes converted solely in cash. The Company currently expects to fund the redemption and conversion payments through a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds from one or more debt financing transactions by the Company on a non-recourse basis.
