Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 15, 2011, TriMas Corporation (the “Company”) amended and restated its existing accounts receivable facility among TSPC, Inc., as Transferor, the Company, as Collection Agent, TriMas Company LLC, as Guarantor, the persons party thereto from time to time as Purchasers and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as LC Issuer and Administrative Agent (the “Accounts Receivable Facility”). Pursuant to the Accounts Receivable Facility, and subject to certain conditions stated therein, (i) the facility limit is increased to $90.0 million, (ii) the stated termination date of the facility is extended to September 15, 2015, and (iii) TSPC, Inc. has the capacity to request letters of credit under the facility up to an amount equal to the lesser of $45.0 million and the facility limit. Advances under the Accounts Receivable Facility will initially bear discount at a per annum rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.50%. Because availability under the Accounts Receivable Facility is expected to vary depending on the value of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and customary reserves, the Company’s availability under the facility may increase or decrease from time to time.

The foregoing description of the Accounts Receivable Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Amended and Restated Receivables Transfer Agreement which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
