Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01.
Other Events.

Effective August 10, 2016, Daniel G. Korte, Chief Executive Officer and President of LMI Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”), adopted a stock trading plan (the “10b5-1 Plan”) in accordance with guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Rule 10b5-1 permits corporate officers, directors and others to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, non-public information. Using these plans, insiders may spread stock purchases and other trades over a period of time regardless of any material, non-public information they may receive after adopting their plans.

Pursuant to the 10b5-1 rules, Mr. Korte will not have discretion over the purchase of shares of Company common stock under the 10b5-1 Plan. Under the 10b5-1 Plan, Mr. Korte will purchase 13,250 shares of the Company’s common stock in the marketplace, subject to certain conditions. Purchases under the 10b5-1 Plan will commence September 23, 2016, and will be completed within sixty days. Any purchases under the 10b5-1 Plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission when due.

Except as may be required by law, the Company may not report 10b5-1 trading plans by other officers or directors of the Company in the future, or report modifications or terminations of any such plans, regardless of whether the plan was publicly announced.
