Trinity Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) has notified Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the Indenture dated as of June 7, 2006 between the Company and the Trustee (the “Indenture”) that the Company’s 3.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2036 (CUSIP No. 89 6522 AF 6) (the “Notes”) remain convertible as a result of the last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock equaling or exceeding 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days ending September 30, 2014. Subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, holders may convert their Notes during the period from October 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. The Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on June 7, 2006.
The current conversion rate of the Notes is 39.5668 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Upon conversion in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, a holder will be entitled to receive cash and, to the extent that the “Daily Conversion Value” (as defined in the Indenture) exceeds $50.00, such whole number of shares of common stock as set forth in the Indenture and the Notes. In addition, the Company has the option to make the entire conversion payment in cash.
