Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
The Registrant hereby furnishes the information set forth in its News Release, dated December 9, 2013, announcing the formation of a strategic alliance with Element Financial Corporation (“Element”) to develop a portfolio of leased railcars.
The information being furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. Exhibit 99.1 is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this Item 7.01. Additionally, the submission of the report on Form 8-K is not an admission of the materiality of any information in this report.
Certain statements in the News Release, which are not historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to earnings and other statements about Trinity's estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, and the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements. Trinity uses the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or our present expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, the cyclical nature of the rail leasing business, railcar purchasing decisions by Element, and the available supply of secondary market railcars for purchase. For a discussion of other risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see “Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year.
