Item 2.04 | Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement. |
On April 23, 2018, Trinity Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) provided notice to Wells Fargo, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee” to the Indenture, dated as of June 7, 2006, between the Company and the Trustee, of the Company’s election to redeem, on June 1, 2018, (the “Redemption Date”), all of the Company’s outstanding 3⅞% Convertible Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”) at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest (including any contingent interest), if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date. As of April 23, 2018, the amount of aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding was approximately $449.4 million. A copy of such Notice is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Holders of the Notes have the right to convert their Notes into the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”), subject to certain terms, conditions and adjustments specified in the Notes and the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 30, 2018 (the “Conversion Deadline”), at a current conversion rate equivalent to 41.4390 per each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Upon any conversion of Notes prior to the Conversion Deadline, the Company will deliver to converting holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted an amount (whether such amount is in cash, common stock or a combination thereof) equal to the sum of the daily settlement amount for each of the 20 consecutive trading days during 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.
