TRIMAS ANNOUNCES AMENDMENT OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACILITY
Company Achieves Further Improvement in Pricing and Terms
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan, December 20, 2012 - TriMas Corporation (NASDAQ: TRS) - a diversified global manufacturer of engineered and applied products - announced today that it entered into an amendment of its accounts receivable facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The amended facility has been extended until October 11, 2017 and provides committed funding of up to $105 million.
The amended accounts receivable facility provides a source of liquidity for the Company at a cost of funds equal to three month LIBOR (currently approximately 0.30%) plus an applicable margin of 1.20% or 1.35%, depending on amounts drawn under the facility. This facility supersedes the Company's existing $90 million accounts receivables facility, while improving pricing and extending the maturity an additional two years.
Mark Zeffiro, TriMas' chief financial officer, commented, “Following the recently completed refinance of our bank facilities, this is yet another step to enhance our liquidity and lower our cost of borrowings, while extending our maturity profile. The Company's continued strong financial performance and attractive financial markets have enabled us to again improve our financial flexibility and better position the Company for future growth. As with all aspects of our business, we are focused on continuous improvement that enhances profitability and shareholder value.”
