Forward-Looking Statements

This report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 about our financial condition, results of operations and business. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “plan” or other comparable words, or by discussions of strategy that may involve risks and uncertainties.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results including, but not limited to: the severity and duration of the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our operations, customers and suppliers, as well as related actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response, each of which is uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict; general economic and currency conditions; inflationary pressures on our supply chain, including raw material and energy costs, and customers; interest rate volatility; risks and uncertainties associated with intangible assets, including goodwill or other intangible asset impairment charges; competitive factors; future trends; our ability to realize our business strategies; our ability to identify attractive acquisition candidates, successfully integrate acquired operations or realize the intended benefits of such acquisitions; information technology and other cyber-related risks; the performance of our subcontractors and suppliers; supply constraints, including the availability and cost of raw materials; market demand; intellectual property factors; litigation; government and regulatory actions, including, without limitation, climate change legislation and other environmental regulations, as well as the impact of tariffs, quotas and surcharges; our leverage; liabilities imposed by our debt instruments; labor disputes and shortages; changes to fiscal and tax policies; contingent liabilities relating to acquisition activities; the disruption of operations from catastrophic or extraordinary events, including natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts and public health crises; the amount and timing of future dividends and/or share repurchases, which remain subject to Board approval and depend on market and other conditions; our future prospects; and other risks that are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and elsewhere in this report. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

The cautionary statements set forth above should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts' expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations implied by our forward-looking statements under Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this report. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributed to us or persons acting on our behalf. When we indicate that an event, condition or circumstance could or would have an adverse effect on us, we mean to include effects upon our business, financial and other conditions, results of operations, prospects and ability to service our debt.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

TriMas Corporation ("TriMas" or the "Company"), and its consolidated subsidiaries, designs, engineers and manufactures innovative products under leading brand names for customers primarily in the consumer products, aerospace & defense, and industrial markets.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from such estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus and related variants (“COVID-19”) as well as input cost inflation, supply chain disruptions, and shortages in global markets for commodities, logistics and labor. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ASU 2021-10 is effective for annual filings in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2021-08"), which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.

10. Long-term Debt

The Company's long-term debt consists of the following (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
4.125% Senior Notes due April 2029	$	400,000	$	400,000
Debt issuance costs	(5,960)		(6,180)
Long-term debt, net	$	394,040	$	393,820

Senior Notes due 2029

In March 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due April 15, 2029 ("2029 Senior Notes") at par value in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). The Company used the proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering to pay fees and expenses of approximately $5.1 million related to the offering and pay fees and expenses of $1.0 million related to amending its existing credit agreement. In connection with the issuance, during the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed the redemption of its outstanding $300.0 million principal amount 4.875% senior notes due October 15, 2025 ("2025 Senior Notes"). The remaining cash proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including repaying all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings. The $5.1 million of fees and expenses related to the 2029 Senior Notes were capitalized as debt issuance costs.

The 2029 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The payment of principal and interest is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The 2029 Senior Notes are pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings provided that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering. In addition, prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make whole" premium. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below:

Year	Percentage
2024	102.063	%
2025	101.031	%
2026 and thereafter	100.000	%

Senior Notes due 2025

In September 2017, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Senior Notes at par value in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. During the second quarter of 2021, and in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 2025 Senior Notes, as permitted under the indenture, at a price of 102.438% of the principal amount.

Credit Agreement

In March 2021, the Company amended its existing credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to extend the maturity date. The Company incurred fees and expenses of approximately $1.0 million related to the amendment, all of which was capitalized as debt issuance costs. The Company also recorded approximately $0.2 million of non-cash expense related to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing fees. The Credit Agreement consists of a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which permits borrowings denominated in specific foreign currencies, subject to a $125.0 million sub limit, maturing on March 29, 2026.

In November 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with a benchmark interest rate determined based on the currency denomination of borrowings. Effective January 1, 2022, the amendment replaced the reference rate terms for U.S. dollar LIBOR borrowings to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British pound sterling LIBOR borrowings to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") and Euro LIBOR borrowings to the Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), all plus a spread of 1.50%. The interest rate spread is based upon the leverage ratio, as defined, as of the most recent determination date.

The Credit Agreement also provides incremental revolving credit facility commitments in an amount not to exceed the greater of $200.0 million and an amount such that, after giving effect to such incremental commitments and the incurrence of any other indebtedness substantially simultaneously with the making of such commitments, the senior secured net leverage ratio, as defined, is no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The terms and conditions of any incremental revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the existing credit facility.

The Company's revolving credit facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit, not to exceed $40.0 million in aggregate. The Company places cash on deposit with a financial institution to be held as cash collateral for the Company's outstanding letters of credit; therefore, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no letters of credit issued against its revolving credit facility. See Note 6, "Cash and Cash Equivalents," for further information on its cash deposit. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $300.0 million potentially available. The Company's borrowing capacity was not reduced by leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The debt under the Credit Agreement is an obligation of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of such parties. Borrowings under the $125.0 million (equivalent) foreign currency sub limit of the $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a cross-guarantee amongst, and a pledge of the assets of, the foreign subsidiary borrowers that are a party to the agreement.  The Credit Agreement also contains various negative and affirmative covenants and other requirements affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, including the ability, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, to incur debt, liens, mergers, investments, loans, advances, guarantee obligations, acquisitions, assets dispositions, sale-leaseback transactions, hedging agreements, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements and amendments to charters, bylaws, and other material documents. The terms of the Credit Agreement also require the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to meet certain restrictive financial covenants and ratios computed quarterly, including a maximum total net leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness plus outstanding amounts under the accounts receivable securitization facility, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined), a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio (total consolidated senior secured indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA, as defined, over the sum of consolidated cash interest expense, as defined, and preferred dividends, as defined). At March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

Other Revolving Loan Facility

In May 2021, the Company, through one of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, entered into a revolving loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $4 million. The facility is guaranteed by TriMas Corporation. There were no borrowings outstanding on this loan facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

11. Derivative Instruments

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company uses cross-currency swap contracts to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated assets against future volatility in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. By doing so, the Company synthetically converts a portion of its U.S. dollar-based long-term debt into Euro-denominated long-term debt. At inception, the Company designates its cross-currency swaps as net investment hedges.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cross-currency swap agreements at notional amounts totaling $250.0 million, which declines to $25.0 million over various contract periods ending between April 15, 2022 and April 15, 2027. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is to receive net interest payments at fixed rates ranging from approximately 0.8% to 2.9% of the notional amounts.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value carrying amount of the Company's derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recorded as follows (dollars in thousands):

		Asset / (Liability) Derivatives
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments	Balance Sheet Caption	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

As of March 31, 2022, the Company was party to foreign currency exchange forward contracts to economically hedge changes in foreign currency rates with notional amounts of approximately $135.8 million. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk associated with fluctuations in currency rates impacting cash flows related to certain of its receivables, payables and intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign exchange contracts primarily mitigate currency exposures between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and the Mexican peso, as well as between the Euro and British pound, and have various settlement dates through December 2022. These contracts are not designated as hedge instruments; therefore, gains and losses on these contracts are recognized each period directly into the consolidated statement of income.

The following table summarizes the effects of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments on the Company's consolidated statement of income (dollars in thousands):

		Amount of Income Recognized in Earnings on Derivatives
		Three months ended March 31,
	Location of Income Recognized in Earnings on Derivatives	2022		2021
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	Other income (expense), net	$	810	$	4,020

Fair Value of Derivatives

The fair value of the Company's derivatives are estimated using an income approach based on valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single, discounted amount. Estimates of the fair value of the Company's cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts use observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves and forward currency exchange rates. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are shown below (dollars in thousands):

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Asbestos

As of March 31, 2022, the Company was a party to 407 pending cases involving an aggregate of 4,782 claimants primarily alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos containing materials formerly used in gaskets (both encapsulated and otherwise) manufactured or distributed by its former Lamons division and certain other related subsidiaries for use primarily in the petrochemical, refining and exploration industries. The following chart summarizes the number of claims, number of claims filed, number of claims dismissed, number of claims settled, the average settlement amount per claim and the total defense costs, at the applicable date and for the applicable periods:

	Claims pending at beginning of period	Claims filed during period	Claims dismissed during period	Claims settled during period	Claims pending at end of period	Average settlement amount per claim during period		Total defense costs during period
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022	4,754	54	25	1	4,782	$	3,000	$	430,000
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021	4,655	265	134	32	4,754	$	16,819	$	1,950,000

In addition, the Company acquired various companies to distribute its products that had distributed gaskets of other manufacturers prior to acquisition. The Company believes that many of its pending cases relate to locations at which none of its gaskets were distributed or used.

The Company may be subjected to significant additional asbestos-related claims in the future, and will aggressively defend or reasonably resolve, as appropriate. The cost of settling cases in which product identification can be made may increase, and the Company may be subjected to further claims in respect of the former activities of its acquired gasket distributors. The cost of claims varies as claims may be initially made in some jurisdictions without specifying the amount sought or by simply stating the requisite or maximum permissible monetary relief, and may be amended to alter the amount sought. The large majority of claims do not specify the amount sought. Of the 4,782 claims pending at March 31, 2022, 35 set forth specific amounts of damages (other than those stating the statutory minimum or maximum). At March 31, 2022, of the 35 claims that set forth specific amounts, there were zero claims seeking more than $5 million for punitive damages. Below is a breakdown of the compensatory damages sought for those claims seeking specific amounts:

	Compensatory
Range of damages sought (dollars in millions)	$0.0 to $0.6	$0.6 to $5.0	$5.0+
Number of claims	—	2	33

Relatively few claims have reached the discovery stage and even fewer claims have gone past the discovery stage. Total settlement costs (exclusive of defense costs) for all such cases, some of which were filed over 30 years ago, have been approximately $10.6 million. All relief sought in the asbestos cases is monetary in nature. Based on the settlements made to date and the number of claims dismissed or withdrawn for lack of product identification, the Company believes that the relief sought (when specified) does not bear a reasonable relationship to its potential liability.

The Company records a liability for asbestos-related claims, which includes both known and unknown claims, based on a study from the Company’s third-party actuary, the Company's review of the study, as well as the Company’s own review of asbestos claims and claim resolution activity.

17

TRIMAS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(unaudited)

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company commissioned its actuary to update the study, based on data as of September 30, 2021, which yielded a range of possible future liability of $28.2 million to $38.6 million. The Company did not believe any amount within the range of potential outcomes represented a better estimate than another given the many factors and assumptions inherent in the projections, and therefore recorded a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $1.5 million to increase the liability estimate to $28.2 million, at the low-end of the range. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total asbestos-related liability is $27.2 million, and is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s primary insurance, which covered approximately 40% of historical costs related to settlement and defense of asbestos litigation, expired in November 2018, upon which the Company became solely responsible for defense costs and indemnity payments. The Company is party to a coverage-in-place agreement (entered into in 2006) with its first level excess carriers regarding the coverage to be provided to the Company for asbestos-related claims. The coverage-in-place agreement makes asbestos defense costs and indemnity insurance coverage available to the Company that might otherwise be disputed by the carriers and provides a methodology for the administration of such expenses. The Company will continue to be solely responsible for defense costs and indemnity payments prior to the commencement of coverage under this agreement, the duration of which would be subject to the scope of damage awards and settlements paid. Based upon the Company’s review of the actuarial study, the Company does not believe it is probable that it will reach the threshold of qualified future settlements required to commence excess carrier insurance coverage under the coverage-in-place agreement.

Based upon the Company's experience to date, including the trend in annual defense and settlement costs incurred to date, and other available information (including the availability of excess insurance), the Company does not believe these cases will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Claims and Litigation

The Company is subject to other claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business, but does not believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

15. Segment Information

16. Equity Awards

Restricted Stock Units

The Company awarded the following restricted stock units ("RSUs") during the three months ended March 31, 2022:

•granted 195,398 RSUs to certain employees, which are subject only to a service condition and vest ratably over three years so long as the employee remains with the Company;

•granted 22,554 RSUs to its non-employee independent directors, which fully vest one year from date of grant so long as the director and/or Company does not terminate the director's service prior to the vesting date; and

•issued 337 RSUs related to director fee deferrals as certain of the Company's directors elected to defer all or a portion of their directors fees and to receive the amount in Company common stock at a future date.

•issued 58 RSUs to certain employees related to dividend equivalent rights on existing equity awards.

During 2022, the Company also awarded 85,156 performance-based RSUs to certain Company key employees which vest three years from the grant date as long as the employee remains with the Company. These awards are earned 50% based upon the Company's achievement of an earnings per share compound annual growth rate ("EPS CAGR") metric over a period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2024. The remaining 50% of the awards are earned based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of the common stock of a pre-defined industry peer-group, measured over the performance period. TSR is calculated as the Company's average closing stock price for the 20 trading days at the end of the performance period plus Company dividends, divided by the Company's average closing stock price for the 20 trading days prior to the start of the performance period. The Company estimates the grant-date fair value subject to a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model, using the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free rate of 1.88% and annualized volatility of 36.5%. Depending on the performance achieved for these two metrics, the amount of shares earned, if any, can vary for each metric from 0% of the target award to a maximum of 200% of the target award. For similar performance-based RSUs awarded in 2019, the Company attained 65.4% of the target on a weighted average basis, resulting in a decrease of 24,975 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, there was approximately $13.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs that is expected to be recorded over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of approximately $2.8 million and $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

17. Earnings per Share

Net income is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to stock options and RSUs. The following table summarizes the dilutive effect of RSUs and options to purchase common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2022	2021
Weighted average common shares—basic	42,799,206	43,185,007
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units	310,487	400,685
Dilutive effect of stock options	—	49,184
Weighted average common shares—diluted	43,109,693	43,634,876

In March 2020, the Company announced its Board of Directors had authorized the Company to increase the purchase of its common stock up to $250 million in the aggregate. This announcement represented the most recent update from the initial authorization, approved in November 2015, of up to $50 million of purchases in the aggregate of its common stock. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased 282,003 shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $9.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company purchased 82,171 shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $2.6 million. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $133.6 million remaining under the repurchase authorization.

Holders of common stock are entitled to dividends at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. In 2021 the Company's Board of Directors declared the first dividend since the Company's initial public offering in 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company's cash dividends declared were $0.04 per share of common stock and total dividends paid on common shares were $1.7 million. No dividends were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

	Three months ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Service costs	$	200	$	330
Interest costs	230		200
Expected return on plan assets	(410)		(390)
Settlement/curtailment loss	150		—
Amortization of net loss	140		230
Net periodic benefit cost	$	310	$	370

The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is recorded in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, while non-service cost components are recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash curtailment expense of approximately $0.2 million, as it transitioned certain active employees previously participating in a defined benefit plan in the United Kingdom to a defined contribution plan, thereby eliminating future service cost accruals for all employees under this defined benefit plan.

The Company contributed approximately $0.3 million to its defined benefit pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company expects to contribute approximately $1.7 million to its defined benefit pension plans for the full year 2022.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition contains forward-looking statements regarding industry outlook and our expectations regarding the performance of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements," at the beginning of this report. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion together with the Company's reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Introduction

TriMas designs, develops and manufactures a diverse set of products primarily for the consumer products, aerospace & defense and industrial markets through its TriMas Packaging, TriMas Aerospace and Specialty Products groups. Our wide range of innovative products are designed and engineered to solve application-specific challenges that our customers face. We believe our businesses share important and distinguishing characteristics, including: well-recognized and leading brand names in the focused markets we serve; innovative product technologies and features; a high-degree of customer approved processes and qualifications; established distribution networks; relatively low ongoing capital investment requirements; strong cash flow conversion and long-term growth opportunities. While the majority of our revenue is in the United States, we manufacture and supply products globally to a wide range of companies. We report our business activity in three segments: Packaging, Aerospace and Specialty Products.

Key Factors Affecting Our Reported Results  

Our businesses and results of operations depend upon general economic conditions. We serve customers in industries that are highly competitive, cyclical and that may be significantly impacted by changes in economic or geopolitical conditions.

Over the past two years, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak has significantly affected each of our businesses and how we operate, albeit in different ways and magnitudes. Sales in our Packaging segment for dispensing and closure products used in applications to fight the spread of germs experienced significant increases in demand, while sales of our industrial and aerospace-related products were significantly depressed from historical levels. Our aerospace-related product sales continue to be depressed while industrial product sales have recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

We have been, and continue to be, focused on making sure the working environments for our employees are safe so our operations have the ability to deliver the products needed to support efforts to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented new work rules and processes, which promote social distancing and increased hygiene to ensure the safety of our employees, particularly at our production facilities. These measures, while not easily quantifiable, have increased the level of manufacturing inefficiencies due to elevated levels of absenteeism, resulting in less efficient production scheduling and, in certain cases, short-term idling of production. While these increased costs and inefficiencies began in second quarter 2020, they continue to persist into 2022. We expect that we will continue to operate with these protocols in place, and that labor-related availability and inefficiencies will be an ongoing challenge.

We continue to actively monitor the spread of certain variants of the virus, and plan for potential future impacts. While conditions related to the pandemic generally have improved in some regions of the world in 2022 compared to 2021, we anticipate conditions will continue to vary by industry as well as geography. Late in first quarter 2022, an increase of COVID-19 related cases in certain parts of China resulted in widespread shut-downs and restrictions (in light of China's zero-covid policy), including the re-institution of stay-at-home and quarantine mandates. While this did not have a significant impact on our first quarter results, it could have a more significant impact in second quarter 2022 and beyond.

Overall, our first quarter 2022 net sales increased approximately $17.6 million, or 8.5%, compared to first quarter 2021, primarily as a result of increased industrial demand in our Specialty Products segment, the impact of our recent acquisitions in our Packaging and Aerospace segments and increased sales of products used in food and beverage markets and industrial markets within our Packaging segment. These factors more than offset the expected decline in sales of our Packaging segment's dispensing and closure products that are used in applications to fight the spread of germs, which reached record-high levels in 2020 and first quarter 2021 when there was a significant spike in demand following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but now have abated to what we believe is a new, and higher, normalized level.

23

The most significant drivers affecting our results of operations in first quarter 2022 compared with first quarter 2021, other than as directly impacted by demand level changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, were the impact of our recent acquisitions, our continued realignment actions in response to reduced certain end-market demand following the outbreak of COVID-19, and the impact of higher energy and utility costs.

On February 28, 2022, we acquired Intertech Plastics LLC and related companies (collectively, "Intertech"), a manufacturer of custom injection molded products used in medical applications, as well as products and assemblies for consumer and industrial applications, for an aggregate amount of approximately $64.0 million, net of cash acquired, subject to customary closing conditions. Intertech, which is reported in the Company's Packaging segment, has two manufacturing facilities located in the Denver, Colorado area. Intertech contributed approximately $2.8 million of net sales during first quarter 2022.

In December 2021, we completed the acquisition of Omega Plastics ("Omega"), which specializes in manufacturing custom components and devices for drug delivery, diagnostic and orthopedic medical applications, as well as components for industrial applications, for an aggregate amount of approximately $22.5 million, net of cash acquired. Omega, which is reported in the Company's Packaging segment, is located in Clinton Township, Michigan. Omega contributed approximately $4.8 million of net sales during first quarter 2022.

In December 2021, we acquired TFI Aerospace ("TFI"), a manufacturer and supplier of specialty fasteners used in a variety of applications, predominately for the aerospace end market, for an aggregate amount of approximately $11.8 million, with additional contingent consideration ranging from zero to approximately $12.0 million to be paid based on 2023 and 2024 earnings per the purchase agreement. TFI, which is reported in the Company's Aerospace segment, is located near Toronto, Canada. TFI contributed approximately $1.4 million of net sales during first quarter 2022.

Beginning in second quarter 2020, we have been executing certain realignment actions in response to reductions in current and expected future end market demand following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We recorded pre-tax facility move/consolidation and employee-related costs of approximately $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2022. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded pre-tax facility consolidation and employee separation costs of approximately $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

We also experienced a significant increase in the cost of energy and utilities in first quarter 2022 compared with first quarter 2021, primarily in our Europe-based operations. Energy costs began to rise during late 2021, and have further increased into 2022, which we believe is primarily due to geopolitical tensions associated with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as realized and expected energy supply constraints. We expect there could be additional cost and supply chain pressures going forward in 2022 as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the conflict in Eastern Europe.

Additional Key Risks that May Affect Our Reported Results

We have executed significant realignment actions since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily in our Aerospace and Specialty Products segments, and also in certain Packaging product areas where demand has fallen, to protect against the uncertain end market demand. We will continue to assess further actions if required. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on global economic activity, and the continued potential impact to our future results of operations, as well if there is an impact to TriMas' market capitalization, we may record additional cash and non-cash charges related to incremental realignment actions, as well as for uncollectible customer account balances, excess inventory and idle production equipment.

Despite the potential for declines in future demand levels and results of operations, at present, we believe our capital structure is in a strong position. We have ample cash and available liquidity under our revolving credit facility to meet our debt service obligations, capital expenditure requirements and other short-term and long-term obligations for the foreseeable future.

The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on our operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future

developments, which cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. Future developments include the duration, scope and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, timing and acceptance of widespread vaccine availability, and the resumption of normalized global economic activity. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, we are unable to predict with any confidence the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

24

Beyond the unique risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, other critical factors affecting our ability to succeed include: our ability to create organic growth through product development, cross-selling and extending product-line offerings, and our ability to quickly and cost-effectively introduce and successfully launch new products; our ability to acquire and integrate companies or products that supplement existing product lines, add new distribution channels or customers, expand our geographic coverage or enable better absorption of overhead costs; our ability to manage our cost structure more efficiently via supply chain management, internal sourcing and/or purchasing of materials, selective outsourcing and/or purchasing of support functions, working capital management, and greater leverage of our administrative functions.

Our overall business does not experience significant seasonal fluctuation, other than our fourth quarter, which has tended to be the lowest net sales quarter of the year due to holiday shutdowns at certain customers or other customers deferring capital spending to the following year. Given the short-cycle nature of most of our businesses, we do not consider sales order backlog to be a material factor. A growing amount of our sales is derived from international sources, which exposes us to certain risks, including currency risks.

We are sensitive to price movements and availability of our raw materials supply. Our largest raw material purchases are for resins (such as polypropylene and polyethylene), steel, aluminum and other oil and metal-based purchased components. In addition to the factors affecting our 2021 results, there has been some volatility over the past two years as a direct and indirect result of foreign trade policy, where tariffs on certain of our commodity-based products sourced from Asia have been instituted, and certain North American suppliers have opportunistically increased their prices. We will continue to take actions to mitigate such increases, including implementing commercial pricing adjustments, resourcing to alternate suppliers and insourcing of previously sourced products to better leverage our global manufacturing footprint. Although we believe we are generally able to mitigate the impact of higher commodity costs over time, we may experience additional material costs and disruptions in supply in the future and may not be able to pass along higher costs to our customers in the form of price increases or otherwise mitigate the impacts to our operating results.

Although we have escalator/de-escalator clauses in commercial contracts with certain of our customers, or can modify prices based on market conditions to recover higher costs, our price increases generally lag the underlying material cost increase, and we cannot be assured of full cost recovery in the open market. If input costs increase at rapid rates, as they did during 2021, our ability to recover cost increases on a timely basis is made more difficult by the lag nature of these contracts.

Our Arrow Engine business in our Specialty Products segment is sensitive to the demand for natural gas and crude oil in North America. For example, demand for engine, pump jack and compressor products are impacted by active oil and gas rig counts and wellhead investment activities. Separately, oil-based commodity costs are a significant driver of raw materials and purchased components used within our Packaging segment.

Each year, as a core tenet of the TriMas Business Model, our businesses target cost savings from Kaizen and continuous improvement initiatives in an effort to reduce, or otherwise offset, the impact of increased input and conversion costs through increased throughput and yield rates, with a goal of at least covering inflationary and market cost increases. In addition, we continuously review our operating cost structures to ensure alignment with current market demand.

We continue to evaluate alternatives to redeploy the cash generated by our businesses, one of which includes returning capital to our shareholders. In 2020, our Board of Directors increased the authorization of share repurchases to a cumulative amount of $250 million. During first quarter 2022, we purchased 282,003 shares of our outstanding common stock for approximately $9.1 million. As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $133.6 million remaining under the repurchase authorization.

In addition, in first quarter 2022, we declared dividends of $0.04 per share of common stock and we paid dividends of $1.7 million. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to return capital to shareholders through the purchase of our common stock, as well as dividends, depending on market conditions and other factors.

Results of Operations

The principal factors impacting us during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2021, were:

•the impact on global business activity of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the volatility in input costs, supply chain and labor availability;

•the impact of our recent acquisitions, primarily Omega and TFI in December 2021, and Intertech in February 2022;

•realignment expenses in response to changes in end market demand; and

•the impact of higher energy and utility costs.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Overall, net sales increased approximately $17.6 million, or 8.5%, to $224.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared with $206.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a result of acquisitions, which added approximately $9.0 million of sales. Organic sales, excluding the impact of currency exchange and acquisitions, increased approximately $11.0 million, as increases in our Specialty Products segment as well as for food and beverage and industrial products in our Packaging segment were partially offset by declines in dispensing products that help fight the spread of germs in our Packaging segment, as demand for these products abated from peak levels in 2020 and first quarter 2021. In addition, net sales decreased by approximately $2.4 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were unfavorably impacted as a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.

Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 23.9% and 24.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross profit margin decreased due to a less favorable sales mix, primarily as a result of lower sales of Aerospace segment customers' stocking orders for highly-engineered fasteners during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as well as due to approximately $2 million of higher energy and utility costs, primarily in our European Packaging segment facilities. Partially offsetting the decline in margin was approximately $0.9 million of lower realignment costs in first quarter 2022 as compared to the first quarter 2021.

Operating profit margin (operating profit as a percentage of sales) approximated 9.8% and 10.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating profit increased approximately $0.8 million to approximately $21.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, from approximately $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to higher sales levels. Although operating profit increased, operating margin declined primarily due to a less favorable product sales mix and higher energy and utility costs, which were partially offset by approximately $1.8 million of lower realignment costs.

Interest expense decreased approximately $0.1 million to approximately $3.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as a lower effective interest rate more than offset an increase in our weighted average borrowings.

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred approximately $0.2 million of non-cash debt financing and related expenses due to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing fees associated with our Credit Agreement.

Other expense decreased approximately $0.7 million to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in losses on transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 22.3% and 20.5%, respectively. We recorded income tax expense of approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to income tax expense of approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is higher than in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in favorable tax benefits in addition to mix of jurisdictional earnings.

Net income increased approximately $1.1 million, to $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in operating profit of approximately $0.8 million, a decrease in other expense of approximately $0.7 million, a decrease in debt financing and related expenses of $0.2 million and a decrease in interest expense of $0.1 million, partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of approximately $0.7 million.

27

See below for a discussion of operating results by segment.

Packaging. Net sales increased approximately $6.4 million, or 4.8%, to $138.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $132.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Acquisition-related sales growth was approximately $7.6 million, comprised of $4.8 million of sales from our December 2021 acquisition of Omega and $2.8 million from our February 2022 acquisition of Intertech. Net sales decreased by approximately $2.4 million due to currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were unfavorably impacted as a result of the strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, as compared to first quarter 2021. Sales of products used in food and beverage markets increased by approximately $11.0 million, primarily due to strong demand for closures, dispensers and flexible packaging as the hospitality sector continues to rebound from prior COVID-19 pandemic-related shutdowns. Sales of products used in industrial markets increased by approximately $4.3 million, primarily as a result of higher demand for closure products, primarily in North America. Sales of dispensing products used in beauty and personal care, as well as home care, applications that help fight the spread of germs decreased largely as anticipated by approximately $14.5 million, as COVID-19-related demand levels have abated for these products from the peak levels in mid-2020 through first quarter 2021.

Gross profit increased approximately $2.5 million to $36.4 million, or 26.3% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $33.9 million, or 25.6% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021. During first quarter 2021, we were impacted by approximately $2 million of higher resin costs than we were able to recover via commercial actions, while in first quarter 2022 we were generally able to recover current resin costs. Gross profit margin further improved as a result of lower facility move and consolidation costs of approximately $0.8 million associated with our realignment efforts. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by approximately $2 million higher energy and utility costs, primarily in our European manufacturing facilities, as well as a result of approximately $0.6 million of currency exchange, as our reported results in U.S. dollars were unfavorably impacted as a result of the strengthening U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.5 million to $15.0 million, or 10.9% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $12.6 million, or 9.5% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to higher ongoing selling, general and administrative costs associated with our acquisitions as well as higher employee-related expenses as a result of our first quarter 2022 realignment actions.

Operating profit remained flat at $21.3 million, or 15.4% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $21.3 million, or 16.1% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, as the impact of lower material costs was offset by higher energy and utility costs, higher selling, general and administrative expenses and the impact of unfavorable currency exchange.

Aerospace.    Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased approximately $0.1 million, or 0.2%, to $44.5 million, as compared to $44.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Acquisition-related sales growth from our December 2021 acquisition of TFI was approximately $1.4 million. Sales of our fasteners products decreased by approximately $0.6 million, as market share gains achieved in first quarter 2022 mostly offset the expected loss of sales of customers' stocking orders for highly-engineered fasteners that were predominantly fulfilled throughout 2021. Sales of our engineered components products decreased by approximately $0.9 million, primarily due to lower end market demand.

Gross profit decreased approximately $2.9 million to $8.0 million, or 18.0% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $11.0 million, or 24.6% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to a less favorable product sales mix in first quarter 2022 with lower sales of the customers' stocking orders for highly-engineered fasteners.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.3 million to $6.2 million, or 13.9% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $6.5 million, or 14.5% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to savings from realignment efforts in response to lower than historical demand resulting from COVID-19.

Operating profit decreased approximately $2.7 million to approximately $1.8 million, or 4.1% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to approximately $4.5 million, or 10.1% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to a less favorable product sales mix, which was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Specialty Products.   Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased approximately $11.3 million, or 37.5%, to $41.3 million, as compared to $30.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Sales of our cylinder products increased approximately $7.6 million due to higher demand for steel cylinders in North America, as industrial activity continues to increase from depressed levels in 2020 and first quarter 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales of engines, compressors and related parts used in stationary power generation and assistance applications for natural gas and crude oil extraction increased by approximately $3.7 million, primarily as a result of higher oil-field activity in North America.

28

Gross profit increased approximately $2.8 million to $9.3 million, or 22.6% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $6.5 million, or 21.6% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross profit increased in the first quarter of 2022 due to higher sales levels, while margins further improved due to favorable product sales mix and continued leveraging of previous realignment efforts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.1 million to $2.1 million, or 5.0% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $2.0 million, or 6.6% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to higher employment and spending levels in support of the increase in sales levels.

Operating profit increased approximately $2.7 million to $7.2 million, or 17.5% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $4.5 million, or 15.1% of sales, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to increased sales levels and a more favorable product sales mix.

Corporate.    Corporate expenses consist of the following (dollars in millions):

	Three months ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Corporate operating expenses	$	5.5	$	6.4
Non-cash stock compensation	2.8		2.4
Legacy expenses	0.2		0.4
Corporate expenses	$	8.5	$	9.2

Corporate expenses decreased approximately $0.7 million to approximately $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from approximately $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily as a result of realignment charges recorded in the first quarter of 2021 relating to streamlining and reorganizing the corporate office legal group.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to approximately $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Significant changes in cash flows provided by operating activities and the reasons for such changes were as follows:

•For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company generated approximately $34.8 million in cash flows, based on the reported net income of approximately $14.2 million and after considering the effects of non-cash items related to depreciation, amortization, loss on dispositions of assets, changes in deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation and other operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company generated approximately $34.6 million in cash flows based on the reported net income of approximately $13.1 million and after considering the effects of similar non-cash items and debt financing and related expenses.

•Increases in accounts receivable resulted in a use of cash of approximately $22.3 million and $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increased use of cash for each of the three month periods is due primarily to the timing of sales and collection of cash related thereto within the periods. Days sales outstanding of receivables increased approximately six days through the three months ended March 31, 2022, and remained relatively consistent through the three months ended March 31, 2021.

•We increased our investment in inventory by approximately $0.9 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our days sales in inventory decreased by approximately three days through first quarter 2022 and decreased approximately six days during first quarter 2021, as we continue to moderate inventory levels in line with sales levels.

•Increases in prepaid expenses and other assets resulted in a use of cash of approximately $0.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These changes were primarily a result of the timing of payments made for income taxes and certain operating expenses.

•A decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in a use of cash of approximately $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, while an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in a source of cash of approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Days accounts payable on hand remained relatively consistent through first quarter of 2022 compared with a decrease of approximately one day in first quarter 2021. Our days accounts payable on hand fluctuate primarily as a result of the timing of payments made to suppliers and the mix of vendors and related terms.

Net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $75.8 million and $9.4 million, respectively. During the first three months of 2022, we invested approximately $11.9 million in capital expenditures, as we continued our investment in growth, capacity and productivity-related capital projects, and paid approximately $64.0 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire Intertech. During the first three months of 2021, we invested approximately $9.4 million in capital expenditures.

Net cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $11.8 million, while net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $340.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the first three months of 2022, we purchased approximately $9.1 million of outstanding common stock, used a net cash amount of approximately $1.0 million related to our stock compensation arrangements and paid dividends of approximately $1.7 million. During the first three months of 2021, we issued $400.0 million principal amount of senior notes and made net repayments of approximately $48.6 million on our revolving credit facilities. In connection with refinancing our long-term debt, we paid approximately $6.2 million of debt financing fees. We also purchased approximately $2.6 million of outstanding common stock and used a net cash amount of approximately $1.8 million related to our stock compensation arrangements.

Our Debt and Other Commitments

In March 2021, we issued the 2029 Senior Notes in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We used the proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering to pay fees and expenses of approximately $5.1 million related to the offering and pay fees and expenses of $1.0 million related to amending our Credit Agreement. In connection with the issuance, during the second quarter of 2021, we completed the redemption of our $300.0 million principal amount 2025 Senior Notes. The remaining cash proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including repaying all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings. The $5.1 million of fees and expenses related to the 2029 Senior Notes were capitalized as debt issuance costs.

30

The 2029 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The payment of principal and interest is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The 2029 Senior Notes are pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Prior to April 15, 2024, we may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings provided that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering. In addition, prior to April 15, 2024, we may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make whole" premium.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our consolidated subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2029 Senior Notes represented approximately 26% of the total of guarantor and non-guarantor net sales, treating each as a consolidated group and excluding intercompany transactions between guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, our non-guarantor subsidiaries represented approximately 37% and 43% of the total guarantor and non-guarantor assets and liabilities, respectively, as of March 31, 2022, treating the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries each as a consolidated group.

In March 2021, we amended our Credit Agreement in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to extend the maturity date. We incurred fees and expenses of approximately $1.0 million related to the amendment, all of which were capitalized as debt issuance costs. We also recorded approximately $0.2 million of non-cash expense related to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing fees. The Credit Agreement consists of a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which permits borrowings denominated in specific foreign currencies, subject to a $125.0 million sub limit, maturing on March 29, 2026.

In November 2021, we amended the Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with a benchmark interest rate determined based on the currency denomination of borrowings. Effective January 1, 2022, the amendment replaced the reference rate terms for U.S. dollar LIBOR borrowings to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British pound sterling LIBOR borrowings to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") and Euro LIBOR borrowings to the Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), all plus a spread of 1.50%. The interest rate spread is based upon the leverage ratio, as defined, as of the most recent determination date.

The Credit Agreement provides for incremental revolving credit commitments in an amount not to exceed the greater of $200.0 million and an amount such that, after giving effect to such incremental commitments and the incurrence of any other indebtedness substantially simultaneously with the making of such commitments, the senior secured net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The terms and conditions of any incremental revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the existing credit facility.

Amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility fluctuate daily based upon our working capital and other ordinary course needs. Availability under our revolving credit facility depends upon, among other things, compliance with our Credit Agreement's financial covenants. Our Credit Agreement contains various negative and affirmative covenants and other requirements affecting us and our subsidiaries, including the ability to, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, incur debt, liens, mergers, investments, loans, advances, guarantee obligations, acquisitions, asset dispositions, sale-leaseback transactions, hedging agreements, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements and amendments to charters, bylaws, and other material documents. The terms of our Credit Agreement require us and our subsidiaries to meet certain restrictive financial covenants and ratios computed quarterly, including a maximum total net leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness plus outstanding amounts under the accounts receivable securitization facility, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA, as defined, over the sum of consolidated cash interest expense, as defined, and preferred dividends, as defined). Our permitted total net leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement is 4.00 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2022. If we were to complete an acquisition which qualifies for a Covenant Holiday Period, as defined in our Credit Agreement, then our permitted total net leverage ratio cannot exceed 4.50 to 1.00 during that period. Our actual total net leverage ratio was 1.98 to 1.00 at March 31, 2022. Our permitted interest expense coverage ratio under the Credit Agreement is 3.00 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2022. Our actual interest expense coverage ratio was 13.73 to 1.00 at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.

(2)    Non-recurring costs and expenses relating to diligence and transaction costs, purchase accounting costs, severance, relocation, restructuring and curtailment expenses.

(3)        Includes approximately $3.8 million of acquisition related contingent consideration as of March 31, 2022.

Our revolving credit facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit, not to exceed $40.0 million in aggregate. We placed restricted cash on deposit with a financial institution to be held as cash collateral for our outstanding letters of credit; therefore, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no letters of credit issued against our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and had approximately $300.0 million available after giving effect to letters of credit issued and outstanding. Our letters of credit, or corresponding restricted cash deposits, are used for a variety of purposes, including support of certain operating lease agreements, vendor payment terms and other subsidiary operating activities, and to meet various states' requirements to self-insure workers' compensation claims, including incurred but not reported claims. Our borrowing capacity was not reduced by leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We rely upon our cash flow from operations and available liquidity under our revolving credit facility to fund our debt service obligations and other contractual commitments, working capital and capital expenditure requirements. At the end of each quarter, we have historically used cash on hand from our domestic and foreign subsidiaries to pay down amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility, as applicable.

Our weighted average borrowings during the first three months of 2022 approximated $400.0 million, compared to approximately $357.5 million during the first three months of 2021, primarily due to a higher aggregate principal balance on our senior notes due to the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes and the redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes during the first half of 2021.

In May 2021, we, through one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, entered into a revolving loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $4 million. The facility is guaranteed by TriMas Corporation. There were no borrowings on this loan facility as of March 31, 2022.

Cash management related to our revolving credit facility is centralized. We monitor our cash position and available liquidity on a daily basis and forecast our cash needs on a weekly basis within the current quarter and on a monthly basis outside the current quarter over the remainder of the year. Our business and related cash forecasts are updated monthly.

While more than half of our cash on hand as of March 31, 2022 is located outside the U.S., given available funding under our revolving credit facility of $300.0 million at March 31, 2022 (after consideration of the aforementioned leverage restrictions) and based on forecasted cash sources and requirements inherent in our business plans, we believe that our liquidity and capital resources, including anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our debt service, capital expenditure and other short-term and long-term obligations for the foreseeable future, as well as dividends and share repurchases.

We are subject to variable interest rates on our revolving credit facility, which is subject to a benchmark interest rate determined based on the currency denomination of borrowings. At March 31, 2022, we had no amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility and, therefore, no variable rate-based borrowings outstanding.

In addition to our long-term debt, we have other cash commitments related to leases. We account for these lease transactions as operating leases, and annual rent expense for continuing operations related thereto approximated $11.0 million in 2021. We expect leasing will continue to be an available financing option to fund future capital expenditure requirements.

33

In March 2020, we announced our Board of Directors had authorized us to increase the purchase of our common stock up to $250 million in the aggregate, an increase of $100 million from the prior authorization.  In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we purchased 282,003 shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9.1 million. Since the initial authorization through March 31, 2022, we have purchased 4,132,818 shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $116.4 million. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to return capital to shareholders through the purchase of our common stock and the payment of dividends, depending on market conditions, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors.

Market Risk

We conduct business in various locations throughout the world and are subject to market risk due to changes in the value of foreign currencies. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are primarily the local currency in the country of domicile. We manage these operating activities at the local level and revenues and costs are generally denominated in local currencies; however, results of operations and assets and liabilities reported in U.S. dollars will fluctuate with changes in exchange rates between such local currencies and the U.S. dollar.

We use derivative financial instruments to manage currency risks associated with our procurement activities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries and the impact of currency rate volatility on our earnings. As of March 31, 2022, we were party to foreign exchange forward and swap contracts to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange rates with notional amounts of approximately $135.8 million. We also use cross-currency swap agreements to mitigate currency risks associated with the net investment in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. See Note 11, "Derivative Instruments," included in Part 1, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements," within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

We are also subject to interest risk as it relates to our long-term debt. See Note 10, "Long-term Debt," included in Part 1, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements," within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Common Stock

TriMas is listed in the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Our stock trades under the symbol "TRS."

Credit Rating

We and certain of our outstanding debt obligations are rated by Standard & Poor's and Moody's. On March 29, 2022, Moody's affirmed a Ba3 rating to our 2029 Senior Notes. See Note 10, "Long-term Debt" included in Part I, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Moody's also affirmed a Ba2 Corporate Family Rating and maintained its outlook as stable. On March 15, 2021, Standard & Poor's assigned a BB- rating to our 2029 Senior Notes. On February 26, 2021, Standard & Poor's affirmed a BB corporate credit rating and maintained its outlook as stable. If our credit ratings were to decline, our ability to access certain financial markets may become limited, our cost of borrowings may increase, the perception of us in the view of our customers, suppliers and security holders may worsen and as a result, we may be adversely affected.

Outlook

We believe our first quarter 2022 financial results continue to demonstrate our ability to effectively leverage our TriMas Business Model, working across our businesses with a high degree of connectivity to respond to changing market conditions, whether they be related to the COVID-19 pandemic, volatile commodity costs or the supply chain and energy cost impacts from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. We have capitalized on opportunities where market demand was high, while also taking swift actions where market demand was sharply reduced. We have continued to take proactive realignment actions to mitigate external pressures as much as practical, while at the same time growing our businesses through organic new products as well as via bolt-on acquisitions.

Looking forward, we believe there will be a continued period of uncertainty related to demand levels for our products, whether it be when production rates for new aircraft builds, which require our fasteners and engineered products, will ramp-up, or whether general industrial activity will continue to its upward trajectory. We expect to continue to mitigate, as much as practical, the impact of low volumes in the most challenged end markets, executing realignment actions as necessary so we are positioned to gain operating leverage when these end markets recover. We believe we remain well positioned to capitalize on the recovery of the aerospace market, just as we have with the improvement in the industrial markets, as well as capture available market growth opportunities.

34

Following our recent acquisitions, we continue to believe our capital structure remains strong and that we have sufficient headroom under our financial covenants, and ample cash and available liquidity under our revolving credit facility, to meet our debt service, capital expenditure and other short-term and long-term obligations for the foreseeable future, as well as dividends and share repurchases.

We expect to continue to leverage the tenets of our TriMas Business Model to manage our multi-industry businesses on a longer-term basis, achieve our growth plans, execute continuous improvement initiatives to offset inflationary pressures, and seek lower-cost sources for input costs, all while continuously assessing the appropriateness of our manufacturing footprint and fixed-cost structure.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

See Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements," included in Part 1, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements," within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions used in calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends, and information from other outside sources, as appropriate.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, there were no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

35

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We are also subject to interest risk as it relates to long-term debt. See Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," for details about our primary market risks, and the objectives and strategies used to manage these risks. Also see Note 10, "Long-term Debt," and Note 11, "Derivative Instruments," in Part I, Item 1, "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements," included within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of March 31, 2022, an evaluation was carried out by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2022, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that they would meet their objectives.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have required certain employees, some of whom are involved in the operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, to work from home. Despite this change, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to minimize any impact it may have on their design and operating effectiveness.

II.    AGREEMENT

    A.    Grant of PSUs. The Company has granted to Grantee (who, pursuant to this award is a Participant in the Plan) the opportunity to earn the number of PSUs described above, subject to the terms of this Agreement (this “Award”). The PSUs evidenced by this Agreement

are payable only in shares of Common Stock as described in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere else in this Agreement, the PSUs subject to this Award are subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

        1.    Vesting. Except as otherwise designated in this Agreement, Grantee must be a Service Provider on the Settlement Date (as such term is defined in Section II.A.7 below) to be eligible to earn and receive payment for any PSUs, and any PSUs subject to this Award will be canceled and forfeited if Grantee terminates as a Service Provider prior to the Settlement Date. Any PSUs that remain unearned after the “Determination Date” (as such term is defined in Appendix A) will be cancelled and forfeited.

        2.    Performance Goals to Earn PSUs. Grantee will only receive shares of Common Stock related to, and to the extent that such shares are earned pursuant to, the Management Objectives and goals specified in Appendix A to this Agreement (“Performance Goals”).

        3.    Dividend Equivalent Rights. Grantee shall be credited with cash per PSU equal to the amount of each cash dividend paid by the Company (if any) to holders of Common Stock generally with a record date occurring on or after the Date of Grant and prior to the time when the PSUs are earned and/or vest and are settled in accordance with Section II.A.7 hereof. Any amounts credited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including earning, vesting, payment, and forfeitability) as apply to the PSUs based on which the dividend equivalents were credited, and such amounts shall be paid in either cash or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, at the same time as the PSUs to which they relate. If such amounts are paid in Common Stock, the number of shares so paid shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and shall be determined by dividing such credited amounts by the Market Value per Share on the payment date.

4.    Rights as a Stockholder. This Award does not entitle Grantee to any ownership interest in any actual shares of Common Stock unless and until such shares of Common Stock are issued to Grantee pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section II.A.3 hereof, until shares of Common Stock are issued to Grantee in settlement of earned PSUs under this Award, Grantee will have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable in settlement of the PSUs, including the right to vote the shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock issuable in settlement of PSUs will be delivered to Grantee on the Settlement Date in book entry form or in such other manner as the Committee may determine.

        5.    Adjustments. The PSUs covered by this Award will be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

        6.    Termination of Service; Forfeiture.

        (a)     Voluntary Termination; Termination by Company; Breach of Other Obligations. Any PSUs subject to this Award will be canceled and forfeited if, prior to the Settlement Date, Grantee voluntarily terminates as a Service Provider (other than for Good Reason or as a result of Retirement as provided below), if Grantee’s status as a Service Provider is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason (other than death, Disability, or Retirement), or if Grantee violates the provisions of Section II.B.3 below.

2

        (b)     Qualifying Termination Prior to a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as set forth in subsection (f) of this Section II.A.6, if Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to the Settlement Date as a result of Grantee’s Qualifying Termination, Grantee shall vest in a pro-rata portion of the number of PSUs, if any, that are earned under Section II.A.2 due to the achievement of the performance measures specified in Appendix A during the performance period specified in the table above (the “Performance Period”). The pro-rata percentage of the number of PSUs to be earned and settled under Section II.A.7 shall be equal to (x) the amount determined under Section II.A.2 above at the end of the Performance Period, multiplied by (y) a fraction (not greater than 1), the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar months Grantee was employed or rendering services from the beginning of the Performance Periodthrough the date of Grantee’s Qualifying Termination, and the denominator of which is 36.

        (c)    Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to the Settlement Date as a result of Grantee’s Disability, Grantee shall become vested at the end of the Performance Period in the number of PSUs that would have been actually earned due to the achievement of the performance measures specified in Appendix A, assuming Grantee had continued to be a Service Provider through the Settlement Date.

        (d)    Death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to the Settlement Date as a result of Grantee’s death, Grantee’s PSUs shall immediately become fully vested based on the Target number set forth in “Number of PSUs in Award” in Section I.

        (e)     Retirement. If Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to the Settlement Date due to Grantee’s Retirement, Grantee shall become vested at the end of the Performance Period in the number of PSUs that would have been actually earned due to the achievement of the performance measures specified in Appendix A, assuming Grantee had continued to be a Service Provider through the Settlement Date.

        (f)    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control that occurs prior to the Settlement Date, the PSUs will vest in accordance with this Section II.A.6(f).

(i)    Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if at any time before the Settlement Date or forfeiture of the PSUs, and while Grantee is continuously a Service Provider, a Change in Control occurs, then the PSUs will vest (except to the extent that a Replacement Award is provided to Grantee in accordance with Section II.A.6(f)(ii) to continue, replace or assume the PSUs covered by this Agreement (the “Replaced Award”)) as follows: (A) the number of EPS CAGR PSUs (as defined in Appendix A) under this Award that shall become vested and non-forfeitable shall equal the Target number of such EPS CAGR PSUs, and (B) the number of RTSR PSUs (as defined in Appendix A) under this Award that shall become vested and non-forfeitable (the “Change in Control TSR Payout Level”) shall equal the greater of (x) the Target number of such RTSR PSUs and (y) the number of RTSR PSUs that would have been actually earned due to the achievement of the RTSR performance measure specified in Appendix A if the date of the Change in Control had been the last day of the Performance Period (as determined by the Committee as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control), in each case, less the number of PSUs that had already become vested as of the date of such Change in Control, but in no event may negative discretion be exercised with respect to the number of

3

PSUs vested. Any PSUs that are not earned and do not vest in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall terminate and be forfeited.

(ii)    For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award: (A) consisting of (1) with respect to the EPS CAGR PSUs, an award of the same type (e.g., performance stock units) as the EPS CAGR PSUs portion of the Replaced Award, and (2) with respect to the RTSR PSUs, an award of time-based restricted stock units that is not subject to performance conditions; (B) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, which, in the case of the RTSR PSUs, shall be the value of the RTSR PSUs at the Change in Control TSR Payout Level as of the date of the Change in Control; (C) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control; (D) if Grantee holding the Replaced Award is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences of which to such Grantee under the Code are not less favorable to such Grantee than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award; and (E) the other terms and conditions of which are not less favorable to Grantee holding the Replaced Award than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award, specifically taking into account the Change in Control TSR Payout Level for any subsequent vesting of the RTSR PSUs portion of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section II.A.6(f)(ii) are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

(iii)    If, after receiving a Replacement Award, Grantee experiences a Qualifying Termination with the Company or a Subsidiary (or any of their successors) (as applicable, the “Successor”) within a period of two years after the Change in Control and prior to the Settlement Date, (A) the portion of the Replacement Award that relates to the RTSR PSUs shall become vested and non-forfeitable in full, specifically taking into account the Change in Control TSR Payout Level for the RTSR PSUs portion of the Replaced Award, and (B) the portion of the Replacement Award that relates to the EPS CAGR PSUs shall become vested and non-forfeitable at the Target level, in each case less the portion of the award that had already become vested as of the date of such termination, but in no event may negative discretion be exercised with respect to the portion of the Replacement Award vested. Any portion of the Replacement Award that does not vest in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall terminate and be forfeited.

(iv)    If a Replacement Award is provided, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding PSUs subject to this Award that at the time of the Change in Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) will be deemed to be vested and nonforfeitable at the time of such Change in Control.

4

Any PSUs that are not earned and do not vest in accordance with this Section II.A.6. shall terminate and be forfeited as of the date Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider. However, in particular, this Award is subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan.

        7.    Determination of PSUs Earned and Vested; Settlement.

(a)General. Subject to Section II.A.7(b), upon the Committee’s certification of achievement of the Performance Goals, and Grantee’s satisfaction of the vesting requirements in Section II.A.1 and Section II.A.6 above, as applicable, this Award shall be settled by issuing to Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to Appendix A (subject to pro-ration as described in Section II.A.6, if applicable), and Grantee’s name shall be entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Company with respect to such shares. This settlement shall occur on March 11, 2025 (the “Settlement Date”).

(b)Other Payment Events. Notwithstanding Section II.A.7(a), to the extent that the PSUs are vested on the dates set forth below, payment with respect to the PSUs will be made as follows:

(i)    to the extent the PSUs are vested as a result of Section II.A.6 (and have not previously been settled) on the date of Grantee’s death, such vested PSUs will be settled by issuing to Grantee one share of Common Stock for each such vested PSU within 30 days of Grantee’s death, and Grantee’s name shall be entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Company with respect to such shares; and

(ii)    to the extent the PSUs are vested as a result of Section II.A.6 (and have not previously been settled) on the date of a Change in Control, such vested PSUs will be settled by issuing to Grantee one share of Common Stock for each such vested PSU within 30 days of the Change in Control, and Grantee’s name shall be entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Company with respect to such shares; provided, however, that if such Change in Control would not qualify as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, Grantee is entitled to receive the corresponding payment on the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to this Agreement had such Change in Control not occurred; and

(iii)    to the extent the PSUs are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) (and have not previously been settled) on the date of Grantee’s “separation from service” with the Company and its Subsidiaries (determined in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) within two years following the occurrence of a Change in Control that constitutes a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, such vested PSUs will be settled by issuing to Grantee one share of Common Stock for each such vested PSU within 30 days of the date of such separation from service.

(c)Any unearned PSUs at the end of the Performance Period, or if earlier, the time of settlement, will be canceled and forfeited. In all circumstances, the number of PSUs earned or vested will be rounded down to the nearest whole PSU, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

    B.    Other Terms and Conditions.

5

        1.    Non-Transferability of Award. Except as described below, this Award and the PSUs subject to this Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The terms of this Award are binding on the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Grantee.

        2.    Withholding. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other amounts in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by Grantee under this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that Grantee make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes or other amounts required to be withheld. If Grantee’s benefit is to be received in the form of shares of Common Stock, then (a) if Grantee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Grantee agrees that the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, and (b) if Grantee is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Grantee may elect that all or any part of such withholding requirement be satisfied by the retention by the Company of a portion of the Common Stock to be delivered to Grantee, by delivering to the Company other Common Stock held by Grantee, or by tendering sufficient funds in cash or cash equivalent to the Company. The shares of Common Stock used for tax or other withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock on the date the benefit is to be included in Grantee’s income. In no event will the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld and/or delivered pursuant to this Section II.B.2 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes or other amounts in connection with the benefit exceed (x) the maximum amount that could be required to be withheld or (y) if so determined by the Committee after the date hereof, the minimum amount required to be withheld.

        3.    Restrictive Covenants.

(a)Generally. The Company would not be providing PSUs or Common Stock to Grantee without Grantee’s agreement to abide by the restrictive covenants described herein. The provisions herein are appropriate in light of the position that Grantee has with the Company and the relationships and confidential and trade secret information that Grantee has been and will be exposed to because of Grantee’s position. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Grantee is subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7 (or any successor provision) of the TriMas Corporation Executive Severance/Change of Control Policy (or any successor policy), then (1) such restrictive covenants, rather than the restrictive covenants in this Section II.B.3, shall apply to Grantee, and (2) Grantee’s violation of such restrictive covenants shall be treated as a violation of the restrictive covenants in this Section II.B.3 for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)Confidentiality. Recognizing Grantee’s fiduciary duties to the Company, as a condition of this Agreement, Grantee agrees that he or she shall not, at any time before or after termination of employment, in any fashion, form or manner, either directly or indirectly, use, divulge, disclose or communicate, or cause or permit any other person or entity to use, divulge, disclose or communicate, to any person, firm, company or entity, in any manner whatsoever, any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company except with the prior written consent of the Board or to the extent specifically required to be disclosed by applicable law. Grantee agrees to notify the Company as soon as reasonably possible after being subpoenaed or otherwise requested by any third party to disclose any Confidential Information. This Section II.B.3 shall not result in the forfeiture of PSUs or any clawback or recoupment of the Award for the disclosure of a trade secret if that disclosure (1) is made in confidence to a federal, state or local

6

government official or to an attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), and as set forth fully therein, notice is hereby given that Grantee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prevents Grantee from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity Grantee is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

    (c)    Covenants Against Competition and Solicitation.

        (i)    Grantee agrees that, while Grantee is employed by the Company, and for 12 months thereafter, Grantee shall not engage, either directly or indirectly, as a principal for Grantee’s own account or jointly with others, or as a stockholder in any corporation or joint stock association, or as a partner or member of a general or limited liability entity, or as an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or in any other advisory capacity in any Competitive Business that designs, develops, manufactures, distributes, sells or markets the type of products or services sold, distributed or provided by the Company, during the one-year period prior to the date of employment termination and with which Grantee was involved and/or oversaw (the “Business”); provided that nothing herein shall prevent Grantee from owning, directly or indirectly, not more than five percent of the outstanding shares of, or any other equity interest in, any entity engaged in the Business and listed or traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter securities market.

    (ii)    Grantee further understands and agrees that while Grantee is employed by the Company and for 12 months thereafter Grantee shall not directly or indirectly solicit business (relating to the Business) from, attempt to entice away from the Company, or interfere with the Company’s relationship with any entity that is a client or customer of the Company at the time of such solicitation, enticement, or interference, or that was identified or solicited as a client or customer of the Company during the time that Grantee performed services for the Company, unless such entity shall have ceased to have been such a customer for a period of at least six months as of the time of such solicitation.

        (iii)    Grantee further understands and agrees that while Grantee is employed by the Company and for 12 months thereafter Grantee shall not directly or indirectly employ or solicit, or receive or accept the performance of services by, any then-current employee of the Company who is employed primarily in connection with the Business, or any former employee of the Company who was employed by the Company primarily in connection with the Business at any time

7

within the 12-month period immediately prior to such employment, solicitation, receipt or acceptance, except in connection with general, non-targeted recruitment efforts such as advertisements and job listings, or directly or indirectly induce any employee of the Company to leave the Company, or assist in any of the foregoing.

(d)    Determination by the Board. Upon entering into this Agreement, Grantee understands and agrees that a determination of the Board shall be final and binding on the issue of whether Grantee’s actions are or will be in violation of this Section II.B.3. Grantee may request in writing from the Board an advance determination as to whether Grantee’s proposed actions will violate this Section II.B.3.

(e)    Certain Definitions. The following definitions shall apply solely with respect to this Section II.B.3:

(i)    “Company” means (A) during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, the Company and any and all direct and indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which the Grantee has worked or had responsibility during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, and (B) after the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company and any and all direct and indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which Grantee worked or had responsibility at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment and at any time during the one-year period prior to such termination of employment.

(f)    Tolling. The restricted time periods in Section II.B.3 shall be tolled during any time period that Grantee is in violation of such covenants, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, so that the Company may realize the full benefit of its bargain. This tolling shall include any time period during which litigation is pending, but during which Grantee has continued to violate such protective covenants.

8

(g)    Relief, Remedies, and Enforcement. Grantee acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and that any breach or threatened breach of any such covenants will cause irreparable injury to the Company for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy. If Grantee breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Agreement,the Company shall have the right to seek appropriate equitable relief, including a permanent injunction or similar court order enjoining Grantee from violating any of such provisions, and that, pending the hearing and the decision on the application for permanent equitable relief, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages or the posting of a bond or other security. No such remedy shall be construed to be the exclusive remedy of the Company and any and all such remedies shall be held and construed to be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies, whether at law or in equity, otherwise available under the terms of this Agreement, at common law or under federal, state or local statutes, rules and regulations. Grantee further agrees to pay any and all legal fees, including without limitation, all attorneys’ fees, court costs, and any other related fees and/or costs incurred by the Company in enforcing this Agreement.

        4.    Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and the Plan comply with or be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force or effect until amended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of the Grantee).

        6.    Effect on Other Benefits. In no event will the value, at any time, of the PSUs or any other payment or right to payment under this Agreement be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other compensation, retirement, or benefit plan offered to employees of, or other Service Providers to, the Company or any Subsidiary unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan.

        7.    Third-Party Beneficiaries. If Grantee is or was employed by a subsidiary of the Company, then such subsidiary is intended to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section II.B.3.

        8.    Unfunded and Unsecured General Creditor. Grantee, as a holder of PSUs and rights under this Agreement has no rights other than those of a general creditor of the

9

Company. The PSUs represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

        9.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances shall not be affected, and the provisions so held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it enforceable and valid.

10.    Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to the PSUs and Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or future awards that may be granted under the Plan, by electronic means or request Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.

    (a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement;

    (b)    the grant of this Award is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of awards, or benefits in lieu of awards, even if awards have been granted repeatedly in the past,

    (c)    all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;

    (d)    Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

    (g)    the future value of the underlying Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

    (i)    in consideration of the grant of the PSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PSUs resulting from termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company or Grantee’s employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and Grantee’s employer from any such claim that may

10

arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim; and

    (j)    in the event Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Grantee’s right to vest in the PSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Grantee is no longer a Service Provider and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Grantee is no longer a Service Provider for purposes of the PSUs.

TO

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT

PERFORMANCE GOALS FOR PSU AWARD

The actual number of PSUs earned by Grantee will be determined by the Committee by March 11, 2025 following the end of the Performance Period (“Determination Date”), using data as of, and including, December 31, 2024 under the rules described below. Any PSUs not earned as of the Determination Date will be canceled and forfeited.

1.    The actual number of shares of Common Stock delivered to Grantee in settlement of the PSUs earned under this Agreement will be determined based on actual performance results as described below, subject to Section II.A.1 of the Agreement.

2.    The PSUs subject to this Award are earned based on the achievement of specific performance measures over the Performance Period (i.e., January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024) and determined on the Determination Date.

3.    50% of the Target PSUs will be earned based on the achievement of EPS CAGR (the “EPS CAGR PSUs”), and 50% of the Target PSUs will be earned based on the achievement of Relative Total Shareholder Return (“RTSR PSUs”).

4.    Definitions. For purposes hereof:

(A)    “EPS CAGR” means the cumulative average growth rate during the Performance Period of the diluted earnings per share from continuing operations as reported in the Company’s Income Statement within the applicable Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, plus or minus special items that may occur from time-to-time that the Committee believes should adjust the as-reported results for measurement of performance.

(B)    “Peer Group” means, of a benchmark group of 90 entities currently in the S&P SmallCap 600 Capped Industrials index (the names of which are attached hereto as Annex A), those entities that remain in the Peer Group as of the end of the Performance Period after application of the Peer Group Adjustment Protocol.

(C)    “Peer Group Adjustment Protocol” means: (i) if an entity listed in Annex A files for bankruptcy and/or liquidation, is operating under bankruptcy protection, or is delisted from its primary stock exchange because it fails to meet the exchange listing requirements, then such entity will remain in the Peer Group, but RTSR for the Performance Period will be calculated as if such entity achieved Total Shareholder Return placing it at the bottom (chronologically, if more than one such entity) of the Peer Group; (ii) if, by the last day of the Performance Period, an entity listed in Annex A has been acquired and/or is no longer existing as a public company that is traded on its primary stock exchange (other than for the reasons as described in subsection (i) above), then such entity will not remain in the Peer Group and RTSR for the Performance Period will be calculated as if such entity had never been a member of the Peer Group; and (iii) except as otherwise described in subsection (i) and (ii) above, for purposes of this performance goal, for each of the entities listed in Annex A, such entity shall be deemed to include any successor to all or substantially all of the primary business of such entity at end of the Performance Period.

    i

(D)    “Relative Total Shareholder Return” or “RTSR” means the percentile rank of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return among the Total Shareholder Returns of all members of the Peer Group, ranked in descending order, at the end of the Performance Period.

(E)    “Total Shareholder Return” means, with respect to the Common Stock and the common stock of each of the members of the Peer Group, a rate of return reflecting stock price appreciation, plus the reinvestment of dividends in additional shares of stock, from the beginning of the Performance Period through the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of calculating Total Shareholder Return for each of the Company and the members of the Peer Group, the beginning stock price will be based on the average closing stock price for the 20 trading days immediately preceding January 1, 2022 on the principal stock exchange on which the stock is then traded and the ending stock price will be based on the average closing stock price for the 20 trading days immediately preceding January 1, 2025 on the principal stock exchange on which the stock then trades.

5.    EPS CAGR Performance Matrix. From 0% to 200% of the EPS CAGR PSUs will be earned based on achievement of the EPS CAGR performance goal during the Performance Period as follows:

EPS CAGR %	EPS CAGR PSUs Earned
	40.0%
	50.0%
	60.0%
	70.0%
	80.0%
	90.0%
	100.0%
	128.6%
	157.1%
	185.7%
	200.0%

6.    Number of EPS CAGR PSUs Earned. Following the Performance Period, on the Determination Date, the Committee shall determine whether and to what extent the EPS CAGR performance goal has been satisfied for the Performance Period and shall determine the number of EPS CAGR PSUs that shall become nonforfeitable hereunder and under the Agreement on the basis of the following:

(A)    Below Threshold. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, EPS CAGR for the Performance Period falls below the lowest EPS CAGR level set forth in the Performance Matrix, no EPS CAGR PSUs shall become nonforfeitable.

(B)    Threshold or Above. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, EPS CAGR for the Performance Period is exactly equal to one of the levels set forth in the Performance Matrix, a percentage of the EPS CAGR PSUs equal to the

ii

percentage set forth opposite such level in the Performance Matrix (rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs) shall become nonforfeitable. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, EPS CAGR for the Performance Period falls between two levels set forth in the Performance Matrix, a percentage of the EPS CAGR PSUs shall become nonforfeitable based on straight-line mathematical interpolation between the percentages applicable to such levels (rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs).

7.    RTSR Performance Matrix. From 0% to 200% of the RTSR PSUs will be earned based on achievement of the RTSR performance goal during the Performance Period as follows:

Performance Level	Relative Total Shareholder Return	RTSR PSUs Earned
Threshold	Ranked below or at __ percentile	0%
Above Threshold	Ranked at __ percentile	50%
Target	Ranked at __ percentile	100%
Intermediate	Ranked at __ percentile	150%
Maximum	Ranked at or above __ percentile	200%

8.    Number of RTSR PSUs Earned. Following the Performance Period, on the Determination Date, the Committee shall determine whether and to what extent the RTSR performance goal has been satisfied for the Performance Period and shall determine the number of RTSR PSUs that shall become nonforfeitable hereunder and under the Agreement on the basis of the following:

(A)    Threshold. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period equals or falls below the “Threshold” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, no RTSR PSUs shall become nonforfeitable.

(B)    Between Threshold and Above Threshold. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period exceeds the “Threshold” level, but is less than the “Above Threshold” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, a percentage between 0% and 50% (determined on the basis of straight-line mathematical interpolation) of the RTSR PSUs (rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs) shall become nonforfeitable.

(C)    Above Threshold. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period equals the “Above Threshold” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, 50% of the RTSR PSUs (rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs) shall become nonforfeitable.

(D)    Between Above Threshold and Target. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period exceeds the “Above Threshold” level, but is less than the “Target” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, a percentage between 50% and 100% (determined on the basis of straight-line mathematical interpolation) of the RTSR PSUs (rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs) shall become nonforfeitable.

(E)    Target. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period equals the “Target” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, 100% of the RTSR PSUs shall become nonforfeitable.

iii

(F)    Between Target and Intermediate. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period exceeds the “Target” level, but is less than the “Intermediate” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, a percentage between 100% and 150% (determined on the basis of straight-line mathematical interpolation) of the RTSR PSUs (rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs) shall become nonforfeitable.

(G)    Intermediate. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period equals the “Intermediate” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, 150% of the RTSR PSUs shall become nonforfeitable.

(H)    Between Intermediate and Maximum. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period exceeds the “Intermediate” level, but is less than the “Maximum” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, a percentage between 150% and 200% (determined on the basis of straight-line mathematical interpolation) of the RTSR PSUs (rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs) shall become nonforfeitable.

(I)Equals or Exceeds Maximum. If, upon the conclusion of the Performance Period, RTSR for the Performance Period equals or exceeds the “Maximum” level, as set forth in the Performance Matrix, 200% of the RTSR PSUs shall become nonforfeitable.

TO

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT

GLOSSARY

For purposes of this Agreement:

“Cause” means (a) Grantee’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime constituting a felony under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or its Subsidiaries conduct business; (b) Grantee’s willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duties to the Company or its Subsidiaries and failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof from the Company; (c) Grantee’s willful failure or refusal to follow directions from the Board (or direct reporting executive) and failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof from the Board; or (d) Grantee’s breach of fiduciary duty to the Company or its Subsidiaries for personal profit. Any failure by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to notify Grantee after the first occurrence of an event constituting Cause shall not preclude any subsequent occurrences of such event (or a similar event) from constituting Cause.

“Disability” (and similar terms) means Grantee’s physical or mental condition resulting from any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that renders Grantee incapable of engaging in any substantial gainful employment and that can be expected to result in death or that has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 365 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee shall not be deemed to be Disabled as a result of any condition that:

(a)    was contracted, suffered, or incurred while Grantee was engaged in, or resulted from Grantee having engaged in, a felonious activity;

(b)    resulted from an intentionally self-inflicted injury or an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or substances which are not administered under the direction of a licensed physician as part of a medical treatment plan; or

(c)    resulted from service in the Armed Forces of the United States for which Grantee received or is receiving a disability benefit or pension from the United States, or from service in the armed forces of any other country irrespective of any disability benefit or pension.

The Disability of Grantee and the date on which Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider by reason of Disability shall be determined by the Committee, in accordance with uniform principles consistently applied, on the basis of such evidence as the Committee and the Company deem necessary and desirable, and its good faith determination shall be conclusive for all purposes of the Plan. The Committee or the Company shall have the right to require Grantee to submit to an examination by a physician or physicians and to submit to such reexaminations as the Committee or the Company shall require in order to make a determination concerning Grantee’s physical or mental condition; provided, however, that Grantee may not be required to undergo a medical examination more often than once each 180 days. If Grantee engages in any occupation or employment (except for rehabilitation as determined by the Committee) for remuneration or profit, which activity would be inconsistent with the finding of Disability, or if the Committee, on the recommendation of the Company, determines on the basis of a medical examination that Grantee no longer has a Disability, or if Grantee refuses to submit to any medical

vi

examination properly requested by the Committee or the Company, then in any such event Grantee shall be deemed to have recovered from such Disability.

“Good Reason” means:

(a)     A material and permanent diminution in Grantee’s duties or responsibilities;

(b)    A material reduction in the aggregate value of base salary and bonus opportunity provided to Grantee by the Company; or

(c)    A permanent reassignment of Grantee to another primary office more than 50 miles from the current office location.

Grantee must notify the Company of Grantee’s intention to invoke termination for Good Reason within 90 days after Grantee has knowledge of such event and provide the Company 30 days’ opportunity for cure, and Grantee must actually terminate Grantee’s employment with the Company prior to the 365th day following such occurrence or such event shall not constitute Good Reason. Grantee may not invoke termination for Good Reason if Cause exists or Grantee has violated Section II.B.3 of the Agreement at the time of such termination.

“Qualifying Termination” means a termination of Grantee’s status as a Service Provider with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other than:

(i)    death;

(ii)    Disability;

(iii)    Cause;

    (iv)    by Grantee without Good Reason; or

    (v)    Retirement.

“Retirement” means termination of Grantee’s status as a Service Provider after attaining age 60 and five years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided that Grantee provides written notice of the date of such Retirement to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at least 90 days prior to the date of such Retirement.

“Service Provider” means an individual actively providing services to the Company or a Subsidiary.

Terms and Conditions

This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) granted to you under the TriMas Corporation 2017 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (referred to as the “Plan”) if you reside in the United Kingdom. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or your award agreement (the “Agreement”) that relates to your award. By accepting your award, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the paragraphs below in addition to the terms of the Plan, the Agreement, and the terms of any other document that may apply to you and your award.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

UK Sub-Plan. Your grant of PSUs is being made pursuant to the UK Sub-Plan, which contains additional terms and conditions that govern your PSUs and participation in the Plan. Please review that document carefully.

Disability. For purposes of the Agreement, the definition of “Disability” in Appendix B hereto shall be qualified by the inclusion of the following phrase after the word “means”: “, subject to and in compliance with the requirements of laws of the United Kingdom,”

Retirement. For purposes of the Agreement, the definition of “Retirement” in Appendix B hereto shall not apply. Further, Section II.A.6(e) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Retirement. If Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to prior to the Settlement Date due to Grantee’s retirement, Grantee shall become vested at the end of the Performance Period in the number of PSUs that would have been actually earned due to the achievement of the performance measures specified in Appendix A, assuming Grantee had continued to be a Service Provider through the Settlement Date.”

Dividend Equivalent Rights. Section II.A.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Grantee shall be notionally credited with cash per PSU equal to the amount of each cash dividend paid by the Company (if any) to holders of Common Stock generally with a record date occurring on or after the Date of Grant and prior to the time when the PSUs are earned and/or vest and are settled in accordance with Section II.A.7 hereof. Any amounts notionally credited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including earning, vesting, payment, and forfeitability) as apply to the PSUs based on which the dividend equivalents were

viii

notionally credited, and such amounts shall be paid in Common Stock at the same time as the PSUs to which they relate. The number of shares so paid shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and shall be determined by dividing the amounts so notionally credited by the Market Value per Share on the payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section II.A.3, Grantee shall not be entitled to the cash notionally credited at any time to the PSUs (or the Common Stock representing the same, as the case may be) either legally or beneficially unless and until Grantee becomes entitled to receive the actual Common Stock in respect of this Award pursuant to Section II.A.7 of this Agreement.”

Withholding. Section II.B.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

    “Grantee hereby indemnifies the Company, Grantee’s employer or any other person in respect of:

(i)    any amount of income tax for which the Company, Grantee’s employer or any other person is obliged to account under the Pay-As-You-Earn system and any amounts of employee’s national insurance contributions arising from the earning and/or vesting of this Award (or which would not otherwise have arisen but for the grant of this Award to Grantee); and

(ii)    any amount of income tax for which the Company, Grantee’s employer or any other person is obliged to account under the Pay-As-You-Earn system and any amounts of employee’s national insurance contributions arising in respect of, or in connection with the holding or disposal by Grantee of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Award or the conversion of such shares of Common Stock into securities of another description whilst such shares of Common Stock are held by Grantee,

    and in pursuance of such indemnity, Grantee hereby agrees that he or she shall pay to the Company (or to such other entity as directed by it) such amount as shall be notified to Grantee by the Company as being due on any occasion under such indemnity, within seven days after being so notified. To the extent that Grantee fails to pay any amount so notified to him or her by the Company within seven days after such notification, Grantee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold, or procure the withholding, from any salary, wages, payment or payments due to Grantee from the Company or Grantee’s employer an amount which is equal to the amount notified to Grantee, sell or procure the sale of sufficient of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Grantee pursuant to this Award on behalf of Grantee to produce a sum which after any costs of sale is sufficient to discharge the amount so notified to Grantee and retain such sum or make such other arrangements, by which Grantee hereby agrees to be bound, so as to ensure that the amount notified to Grantee is discharged in full.

    In the alternative to satisfying the indemnity in (i) above, Grantee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the total number of shares of Common Stock that become issuable to Grantee on vesting of this Award a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Market Value per Share on the date of withholding equal to the amount due under (i) above as determined by the Company, in which case Grantee will be taken to have forfeited the right to be

ix

issued the number of shares of Common Stock so withheld in order to make good the amounts due under (i) above.

    The Company will not be obliged to deliver any shares of Common Stock to Grantee pursuant to this Award, if Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section II.B.2 and Grantee shall not be entitled to receive the delivery of such shares of Common Stock.

    It is a further condition of delivery of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the vesting of this Award that Grantee will, if required to do so by the Company, enter into a joint election under section 431(1) of the United Kingdom Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA”), the effect of which is that the Common Stock will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 of ITEPA will not apply to those shares.”

Whistleblower Protection. The last sentence of Section II.B.3(b) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prevents Grantee, in accordance with applicable law, from (i) making a protected disclosure under section 43A of the Employment Rights Act 1996; (ii) making a disclosure to a regulator regarding any misconduct, wrongdoing or serious breach of regulatory requirements, or reporting a criminal offence to any law enforcement agency; (iii) co-operating with any law enforcement agency regarding a criminal investigation or prosecution; or (iv) otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity Grantee is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.”

Restrictive Covenants. Section II.B.3(c) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

    “(c)    Covenants Against Competition and Solicitation. Each of the restrictions set out in this Section II.B.3(c) constitutes an entirely separate, severable and independent obligation of Grantee. They are entered into in order to safeguard the legitimate business interests of the Company and particularly the goodwill of the Company in connection with its clients, suppliers and employees. Each separate restriction applies whether Grantee undertakes the activity in question directly or indirectly through a third party and whether it is undertaken on his own behalf or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any firm, company or person.

Grantee covenants that Grantee will not for the Restricted Period:

(i)    entice or solicit or endeavour to entice or solicit away from the Company or any Group Company any Relevant Employee;

(ii)    employ or otherwise engage or otherwise facilitate the employment or engagement of any Relevant Employee;

(iii)    solicit or endeavour to supply Restricted Goods or Services to any Relevant Customer;

x

(iv)    supply or be involved with the supply of Restricted Goods or Services to any Relevant Customer;

(v)    have any business dealings with any Relevant Customer on behalf of a Relevant Business;

(vi)    carry on or be concerned as a principal or agent in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(vii)    carry on or be concerned as a partner or member in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(viii)    be employed or engaged as a worker in any Relevant Business that operates or seeks to operate within the Restricted Area;

(ix)    be engaged as a consultant (directly or through another entity) or adviser to any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(x)    carry on or be concerned as a director of any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(xi)    hold a material financial interest in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(xii)    hold a shareholding in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area, disregarding any financial interest of a person in securities which are listed or dealt in on any Recognised Stock Exchange if that person, Grantee and any person connected with Grantee are interested in securities which amount to less than five per cent of the issued securities of that class and which, in all circumstances, carry less than five per cent of the voting rights (if any) attaching to the issued securities of that class; and

(xiii)    be a person with significant control (under part 21A of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006) in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area.

The restrictions above only apply in respect of business activities which compete or seek to compete with the Company and nothing in these provisions seeks to prevent Grantee in connection with activities which do not compete with the Company.

While the restrictions above are considered by Grantee and the Company to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is recognized that such restrictions may fail for unforeseen reasons and, it is therefore agreed that if any of the restrictions are held to be void, but would be valid if part of the wording were deleted or if the periods (if any) specified were reduced or the areas dealt with reduced in scope, such restrictions shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make them valid and effective.”

Definitions. Section II.B.3(e) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(1) “Company” means (A) during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, the Company and any and all direct and indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which the

xi

Grantee has worked or had responsibility during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, and (B) after the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company and any and all direct and indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which Grantee worked or had responsibility at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment and at any time during the one-year period prior to such termination of employment.

CALIFORNIA ADDENDUM

Additional Terms and Conditions for Equity Grants Under the TriMas Corporation 2017 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended

Terms and Conditions

This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) granted to you under the TriMas Corporation 2017 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (referred to as the “Plan”) if you are employed and/or reside in California or if the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or your award agreement (the “Agreement”) that relates to your award. By accepting your award, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the paragraphs below in addition to the terms of the Plan, the Agreement, and the terms of any other document that may apply to you and your award.

Restrictive Covenants. Section II.B.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“3.    Restrictive Covenants.

(a)Generally. The Company would not be providing PSUs or Common Stock to Grantee without Grantee’s agreement to abide by the restrictive covenants described herein. The provisions herein are appropriate in light of the position that Grantee has with the Company and the relationships and confidential and trade secret information that Grantee has been and will be exposed to because of Grantee’s position.

(b)Confidentiality. Recognizing Grantee’s fiduciary duties to the Company, as a condition of this Agreement, Grantee agrees that he or she shall not, at any time before or after termination of employment, in any fashion, form or manner, either directly or indirectly, use, divulge, disclose or communicate, or cause or permit any other person or entity to use, divulge, disclose or communicate, to any person, firm, company or entity, in any manner whatsoever, any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company except with the prior written consent of the Board or to the extent specifically required to be disclosed by applicable law. Grantee agrees to notify the Company as soon as reasonably possible after being subpoenaed or otherwise requested by any third party to disclose any Confidential Information. This Section II.B.3 shall not result in the forfeiture of PSUs or any clawback or recoupment of the Award for the disclosure of a trade secret if that disclosure (1) is made in confidence to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), and as set forth fully therein, notice is hereby given that Grantee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or is made in a complaint or

xviii

other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prevents Grantee from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity Grantee is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

(c)Covenant Against Solicitation. Grantee further understands and agrees that while Grantee is employed by the Company and for 12 months thereafter Grantee shall not directly or indirectly employ or solicit, or receive or accept the performance of services by, any then-current employee of the Company who is employed primarily in connection with the Business, or any former employee of the Company who was employed by the Company primarily in connection with the Business at any time within the 12-month period immediately prior to such employment, solicitation, receipt or acceptance, except in connection with general, non-targeted recruitment efforts such as advertisements and job listings, or directly or indirectly induce any employee of the Company to leave the Company, or assist in any of the foregoing. The “Business” shall mean the design, development, manufacture, distribution, sale or marketing of the type of products or services sold, distributed or provided by the Company during the one-year period prior to the date of employment termination and with which Grantee was involved and/or oversaw.

(d)Determination by the Board. Upon entering into this Agreement, Grantee understands and agrees that a determination of the Board shall be final and binding on the issue of whether Grantee’s actions are or will be in violation of this Section II.B.3. Grantee may request in writing from the Board an advance determination as to whether Grantee’s proposed actions will violate this Section II.B.3.

(e)Certain Definitions. The following definitions shall apply solely with respect to this Section II.B.3:

(1)    “Company” means (A) during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, the Company and any and all direct and indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which the Grantee has worked or had responsibility during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, and (B) after the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company and any and all direct and indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which Grantee worked or had responsibility at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment and at any time during the one-year period prior to such termination of employment.

(2)    “Confidential Information” means trade secrets of the Company and all other confidential or proprietary information that relates to any aspect of the Company’s businesses that cannot freely and readily be obtained from sources outside of the Company. Confidential Information is meant to encompass the broadest enforceable definition of the Company’s intellectual property, and includes but is not limited to: financial and business information; customer and potential customer lists; customer contact information; pricing policies; vendor

xix

lists and information; third-party agreements and relationships; contractual, business, and financial information relating to the Company’s customers or other third parties which the Company is obligated to hold in confidence and/or not disclose; personnel, medical, compensation, and benefits information relating to employees, former employees, and persons affiliated with the Company; systems, login identifications and passwords, processes, methods, and policies; company strategies and plans; databases, company data, and technologies related to the Company’s business; and marketing and advertising materials which have not been published. “Confidential Information” shall not include information that Grantee can establish was already in the public domain at the time of disclosure through no fault of Grantee.

(f)    Separate Covenants. Each of the covenants contained in this Section II.B.3 are separate and distinct covenants of Grantee.”

Privacy. A new Section II.B.17 is added to the Agreement to read as follows:

        “18.    Privacy. The Company respects Grantee’s privacy. In order to administer Grantee’s equity award, the Company collects and uses certain personal information about Grantee, including Grantee’s prior equity grant information where applicable. If Grantee is a California resident, Grantee should refer to the Company’s California Consumer Privacy Act Notice for more information about the personal information the Company collects about Grantee and the purposes for which the Company will use such data.”

TRIMAS CORPORATION

2017 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT

TriMas Corporation (the “Company”), as permitted by the TriMas Corporation 2017 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (“Plan”), and as approved by the Committee, has granted to the individual listed below (“Grantee”), a Restricted Stock Units award (“Award”) for the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth below (“Restricted Stock Units”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Restricted Stock Units Agreement (“Agreement”).

Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or in Appendix A to this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement have the same meanings as defined in the Plan.

I.    NOTICE OF AWARD

Grantee:	[specify Grantee’s name]
Date of Agreement:	As of [enter date]
Date of Grant:	[grant date]
Number of Restricted Stock Units:	[number of Restricted Stock Units]

II.    AGREEMENT

    A.    Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company has granted to Grantee (who, pursuant to this Award is a Participant in the Plan) the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement are payable only in shares of Common Stock as described in Section II.A.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere else in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Award are subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

        1.    Vesting.

(a)General. Subject to Section II.A.1(b), the Restricted Stock Units will vest in three substantially equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject generally to Grantee’s continued status as a Service Provider through each such Vesting Date.

(b)Termination of Service; Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(i)    Voluntary Termination; Termination for Cause; Breach of Other Obligations. Any unvested Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award will be canceled and forfeited if Grantee voluntarily terminates as a Service Provider (other than for Good Reason or as a result of Retirement as provided below), if Grantee’s status as a Service Provider is involuntarily terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause, or if Grantee violates the provisions of Section II.B.3 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination of Grantee’s employment shall qualify as a termination for Cause unless (x) the Company notifies Grantee in writing of the Company’s intention to terminate Grantee’s employment for Cause within 90 days following the initial existence of the occurrence or event giving rise to Cause, (y) Grantee fails to cure such occurrence or event within 30 days after receipt of such notice from the Company and (z) the Company terminates Grantee’s employment within 45 days after the expiration of Grantee’s cure period in subsection (y).

(ii)    Death; Disability. If Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to any Vesting Date as a result of Grantee’s death or Disability, Grantee shall fully vest in the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that have not already vested as of the date on which Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider due to Grantee’s death or Disability.

(iii)    Qualifying Termination Prior to a Change in Control. If Grantee has a Qualifying Termination that occurs prior to (or more than two years after) a Change in Control and before the final Vesting Date, Grantee shall vest in a pro-rata portion of Grantee’s unvested Restricted Stock Units, with the pro-rata amount calculated by (x) multiplying the total number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award by a fraction with (i) a numerator equaling the number of whole calendar months that have elapsed from the Date of Grant to the date of Grantee’s Qualifying Termination, and (ii) a denominator equal to 36, and then (y) subtracting the number of Restricted Stock Units that have already vested under this Award.

(iv)    Retirement. If Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to any Vesting Date due to Grantee’s Retirement, Grantee shall continue to vest in the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award to the same extent that Grantee would have vested in such Restricted Stock Units had Grantee continued to be a Service Provider through the final Vesting Date.

(v)    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control that occurs prior to the vesting of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award, such unvested Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with this Section II.A.1(b)(v).

(A)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time before the vesting or forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award, and while Grantee is continuously a Service Provider, a Change in Control occurs, then the Restricted Stock Units will become nonforfeitable and payable to Grantee in accordance with Section II.A.2 hereof, except to the extent that a Replacement Award is

2

provided to Grantee in accordance with Section II.A.1(b)(v)(B) to continue, replace or assume the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Award (the “Replaced Award”).

(B)    For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award (1) of the same type (e.g., time-based restricted stock units) as the Replaced Award, (2) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award, (3) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control, (3) if Grantee holding the Replaced Award is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences of which to such Grantee under the Code are not less favorable to such Grantee than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award, and (E) the other terms and conditions of which are not less favorable to Grantee holding the Replaced Award than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section II.A.1(b)(v)(B) are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

(C)    If, after receiving a Replacement Award, (1) Grantee experiences a Qualifying Termination with the Company or a Subsidiary (or any of their successors) (as applicable, the “Successor”), or (2) Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of Grantee’s Retirement, in each case within a period of two years after the Change in Control and during the remaining vesting period for the Replacement Award, the Replacement Award shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable with respect to the time-based restricted stock units covered by such Replacement Award upon such termination or Retirement.

(D)    If a Replacement Award is provided, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award that at the time of the Change in Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) will be deemed to be vested and nonforfeitable at the time of such Change in Control.

Any Restricted Stock Units that do not vest in accordance with Section II.A.1(a) or this Section II.A.1(b) shall be canceled and forfeited as of the date Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider. However, in particular, this Award is subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan.

2.    Settlement.

    (a)    General. Subject to Section II.A.2(b) below, and as soon as administratively practicable following (but no later than thirty (30) days following) each applicable Vesting Date, the Company shall issue Grantee one share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that is vested (but has not previously been settled) on such Vesting Date.

    (b)    Other Payment Events. Notwithstanding Section II.A.2(a), to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units are vested on the dates set forth below, payment with respect to the Restricted Stock Units will be made as follows:

(i)    to the extent the Restricted Stock Units are vested as a result of Section II.A.1(b) (and have not previously been settled) on the date of Grantee’s death, the Company shall issue Grantee one share of Common Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit as soon as practicable following (but no later than thirty (30) days following) the date of Grantee’s death;

(ii)    to the extent the Restricted Stock Units are vested as a result of Section II.A.1(b) (and have not previously been settled) on the date of a Change in Control, the Company shall issue Grantee one share of Common Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit as soon as practicable following (but no later than thirty (30) days following) the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if such Change in Control would not qualify as a permissible date of distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, and the regulations thereunder, and where Section 409A of the Code applies to such distribution, payment for the Restricted Stock Units shall be made upon the earlier of (A) a Change in Control that constitutes a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, or (B) the date that would have otherwise applied pursuant to this Agreement had such Change in Control not occurred; and

(iii)    to the extent the Restricted Stock Units are vested as a result of Section II.A.1(b) (and have not previously been settled) on the date of Grantee’s “separation from service” with the Company and its Subsidiaries (determined in accordance with Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) within two years following the occurrence of a Change in Control that constitutes a “change in control” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, the Company shall issue Grantee one share of Common Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit as soon as practicable following (but no later than thirty (30) days following) the date of such separation from service.

        3.    Dividend Equivalent Rights. Grantee shall be credited with cash per Restricted Stock Unit equal to the amount of each cash dividend paid by the Company (if any) to holders of Common Stock generally with a record date occurring on or after the Date of Grant and prior to the time when the Restricted Stock Units are settled in accordance with Section II.A.2 hereof. Any amounts credited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including vesting, payment or forfeitability) as apply to the Restricted Stock Units based on which the dividend equivalents were credited, and such amounts shall be paid in either cash or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate. If such amounts are paid in Common Stock, the number of shares so paid shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and shall be determined by dividing such credited amounts by the Market Value per Share on the payment date.

4

4.    Rights as a Stockholder. Grantee will not have any rights of a stockholder (including voting and dividend rights) with respect to the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Award (except as otherwise provided in Section II.A.3).

        5.    Adjustments. The Restricted Stock Units covered by this Award will be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

    B.    Other Terms and Conditions.

        1.    Non-Transferability of Award. Except as described below, this Award and the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. The terms of this Award are binding on the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Grantee.

        2.    Withholding. To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other amounts in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by Grantee under this Agreement, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that Grantee make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes or other amounts required to be withheld. If Grantee’s benefit is to be received in the form of shares of Common Stock, then (a) if Grantee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Grantee agrees that the Company will withhold shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, and (b) if Grantee is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Grantee may elect that all or any part of such withholding requirement be satisfied by the retention by the Company a portion of the Common Stock to be delivered to Grantee, by delivering to the Company other Common Stock held by Grantee, or by tendering sufficient funds in cash or cash equivalent to the Company. The shares of Common Stock used for tax or other withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock on the date the benefit is to be included in Grantee’s income. In no event will the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld or delivered pursuant to this Section II.B.2 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes or other amounts in connection with the benefit exceed (x) the maximum amount that could be required to be withheld or (y) if so determined by the Committee after the date hereof, the minimum amount required to be withheld.

        3.    Restrictive Covenants.

    (a)    Generally. The Company would not be providing Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock to Grantee without Grantee’s agreement to abide by the restrictive covenants described herein. The provisions herein are appropriate in light of the position that Grantee has with the Company and the relationships and confidential and trade secret information that Grantee has been and will be exposed to because of Grantee’s position. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Grantee is subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7 (or any successor provision) of the TriMas Corporation Executive Severance/Change of Control Policy (or any successor policy), then (1) such restrictive covenants, rather than the restrictive covenants in this Section II.B.3, shall apply to Grantee, and (2) Grantee’s violation of such restrictive covenants shall be treated as a violation of the restrictive covenants in this Section II.B.3 for purposes of this Agreement.

    (b)    Confidentiality. Recognizing Grantee’s fiduciary duties to the Company, as a condition of this Agreement, Grantee agrees that he or she shall not, at any time before or after termination of employment, in any fashion, form or manner, either directly

5

or indirectly, use, divulge, disclose or communicate, or cause or permit any other person or entity to use, divulge, disclose or communicate, to any person, firm, company or entity, in any manner whatsoever, any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company except with the prior written consent of the Board or to the extent specifically required to be disclosed by applicable law. Grantee agrees to notify the Company as soon as reasonably possible after being subpoenaed or otherwise requested by any third party to disclose any Confidential Information. This Section II.B.3 shall not result in the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units or any clawback or recoupment of the Award for the disclosure of a trade secret if that disclosure (1) is made in confidence to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), and as set forth fully therein, notice is hereby given that Grantee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prevents Grantee from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity Grantee is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

    (c)    Covenants Against Competition and Solicitation.

        (i)    Grantee agrees that, while Grantee is employed by the Company, and for 12 months thereafter, Grantee shall not engage, either directly or indirectly, as a principal for Grantee’s own account or jointly with others, or as a stockholder in any corporation or joint stock association, or as a partner or member of a general or limited liability entity, or as an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or in any other advisory capacity in any Competitive Business that designs, develops, manufactures, distributes, sells or markets the type of products or services sold, distributed or provided by the Company, during the one-year period prior to the date of employment termination and with which Grantee was involved and/or oversaw (the “Business”); provided that nothing herein shall prevent Grantee from owning, directly or indirectly, not more than five percent of the outstanding shares of, or any other equity interest in, any entity engaged in the Business and listed or traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter securities market.

6

Company, unless such entity shall have ceased to have been such a customer for a period of at least six months as of the time of such solicitation.

        (iii)    Grantee further understands and agrees that while Grantee is employed by the Company and for 12 months thereafter Grantee shall not directly or indirectly employ or solicit, or receive or accept the performance of services by, any then-current employee of the Company who is employed primarily in connection with the Business, or any former employee of the Company who was employed by the Company primarily in connection with the Business at any time within the 12-month period immediately prior to such employment, solicitation, receipt or acceptance, except in connection with general, non-targeted recruitment efforts such as advertisements and job listings, or directly or indirectly induce any employee of the Company to leave the Company, or assist in any of the foregoing.

    (d)    Determination by the Board. Upon entering into this Agreement, Grantee understands and agrees that a determination of the Board shall be final and binding on the issue of whether Grantee’s actions are or will be in violation of this Section II.B.3. Grantee may request in writing from the Board an advance determination as to whether Grantee’s proposed actions will violate this Section II.B.3.

    (e)    Certain Definitions. The following definitions shall apply solely with respect to this Section II.B.3:

No such remedy shall be construed to be the exclusive remedy of the Company and any and all such remedies shall be held and construed to be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies, whether at law or in equity, otherwise available under the terms of this Agreement, at common law or under federal, state or local statutes, rules and regulations. Grantee further agrees to pay any and all legal fees, including without limitation, all attorneys’ fees, court costs, and any other related fees and/or costs incurred by the Company in enforcing this Agreement.

In no event will the value, at any time, of the Restricted Stock Units or any other payment or right to payment under this Agreement be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other compensation, retirement, or benefit plan offered to employees of, or other Service Providers to, the Company or any Subsidiary unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan.

7.    Third-Party Beneficiaries. If Grantee is or was employed by a subsidiary of the Company, then such subsidiary is intended to be a third-party beneficiary of

8

this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section II.B.3.

        8.    Unfunded and Unsecured General Creditor. Grantee, as a holder of Restricted Stock Units and rights under this Agreement has no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. The Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan.

10.    Nature of Grant. In accepting this Award, Grantee acknowledges that:

    (a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement;

    (b)    the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted stock units, or benefits in lieu of restricted stock units, even if restricted stock units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

    (c)    all decisions with respect to future restricted stock unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;

    (d)    Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

    (e)    the Restricted Stock Units and the Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or Grantee’s employer, and which is outside the scope of Grantee’s employment contract, if any;

    (f)    the Restricted Stock Units and the Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

    (g)    the future value of the underlying Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

    (h)    Awards and resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-

9

service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law;

    (i)    in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company or Grantee’s employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and Grantee’s employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim; and

    (j)    in the event Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Grantee’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Grantee is no longer a Service Provider and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active service would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Grantee is no longer a Service Provider for purposes of the Restricted Stock Units.

11.    Addenda for Certain Participants.

The California Addendum attached hereto as Appendix C constitutes part of this Agreement.

        12.    Amendments.

APPENDIX A
TO
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT

GLOSSARY

For purposes of this Agreement:

“Cause” means (a) Grantee’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime constituting a felony under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or its Subsidiaries conduct business; (b) Grantee’s willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duties to the Company or its Subsidiaries and failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof from the Company; (c) Grantee’s willful failure or refusal to follow directions from the Board (or direct reporting executive) and failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof from the Board; or (d) Grantee’s breach of fiduciary duty to the Company or its Subsidiaries for personal profit. Any failure by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to notify Grantee after the first occurrence of an event constituting Cause shall not preclude any subsequent occurrences of such event (or a similar event) from constituting Cause.

“Disability” (and similar terms) means Grantee’s physical or mental condition resulting from any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that renders Grantee incapable of engaging in any substantial gainful employment and that can be expected to result in death or that has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 365 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee shall not be deemed to be Disabled as a result of any condition that:

(a)    was contracted, suffered, or incurred while Grantee was engaged in, or resulted from Grantee having engaged in, a felonious activity;

(b)    resulted from an intentionally self-inflicted injury or an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or substances which are not administered under the direction of a licensed physician as part of a medical treatment plan; or

(c)    resulted from service in the Armed Forces of the United States for which Grantee received or is receiving a disability benefit or pension from the United States, or from service in the armed forces of any other country irrespective of any disability benefit or pension.

The Disability of Grantee and the date on which Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider by reason of Disability shall be determined by the Committee, in accordance with uniform principles consistently applied, on the basis of such evidence as the Committee and the Company deem necessary and desirable, and its good faith determination shall be conclusive for all purposes of the Plan. The Committee or the Company shall have the right to require Grantee to submit to an examination by a physician or physicians and to submit to such reexaminations as the Committee or the Company shall require in order to make a determination concerning Grantee’s physical or mental condition; provided, however, that Grantee may not be required to undergo a medical examination more often than once each 180 days. If Grantee engages in any occupation or employment (except for rehabilitation as determined by the Committee) for remuneration or profit, which activity would be inconsistent with the finding of Disability, or if the Committee, on the recommendation of the Company, determines on the basis of a medical examination that Grantee no longer has a Disability, or if Grantee refuses to submit to any medical

    i    

examination properly requested by the Committee or the Company, then in any such event Grantee shall be deemed to have recovered from such Disability.

“Good Reason” means:

(a)     A material and permanent diminution in Grantee’s duties or responsibilities;

(b)    A material reduction in the aggregate value of base salary and bonus opportunity provided to Grantee by the Company; or

(c)    A permanent reassignment of Grantee to another primary office more than 50 miles from the current office location.

Grantee must notify the Company of Grantee’s intention to invoke termination for Good Reason within 90 days after Grantee has knowledge of such event and provide the Company 30 days’ opportunity for cure, and Grantee must actually terminate Grantee’s employment with the Company prior to the 365th day following such occurrence or such event shall not constitute Good Reason. Grantee may not invoke termination for Good Reason if Cause exists or Grantee has violated Section II.B.3 of the Agreementat the time of such termination.

“Qualifying Termination” means a termination of Grantee’s status as a Service Provider with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other than:

(i)     death;

(ii)     Disability;

(iii)     Cause;

(iv)    by Grantee without Good Reason; or

(v)    Retirement.

“Retirement” means termination of Grantee’s status as a Service Provider after attaining age 60 and five years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided that Grantee provides written notice of the date of such Retirement to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at least 90 days prior to the date of such Retirement.

“Service Provider” means an individual actively providing services to the Company or a Subsidiary.

APPENDIX B
TO
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT

NON-U.S. ADDENDUM

Additional Terms and Conditions for Equity Grants Under the TriMas Corporation 2017 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended

Terms and Conditions

This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to you under the TriMas Corporation 2017 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (referred to as the “Plan”) if you reside in the United Kingdom. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or your award agreement (the “Agreement”) that relates to your award. By accepting your award, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the paragraphs below in addition to the terms of the Plan, the Agreement, and the terms of any other document that may apply to you and your award.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

UK Sub-Plan. Your grant of Restricted Stock Units is being made pursuant to the UK Sub-Plan, which contains additional terms and conditions that govern your Restricted Stock Units and participation in the Plan. Please review that document carefully.

Disability. For purposes of the Agreement, the definition of “Disability” in Appendix A hereto shall be qualified by the inclusion of the following phrase after the word “means”: “, subject to and in compliance with the requirements of laws of the United Kingdom,”.

Retirement. For purposes of the Agreement, the definition of “Retirement” in Appendix A hereto shall not apply. Further, each use of the capitalized term “Retirement” in the Agreement is hereby amended to read as “retirement”.

Dividend Equivalent Rights. Section II.A.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Grantee shall be notionally credited with cash per Restricted Stock Unit equal to the amount of each cash dividend paid by the Company (if any) to holders of Common Stock generally with a record date occurring on or after the Date of Grant and prior to the time when the Restricted Stock Units are settled in accordance with Section II.A.2 hereof. Any amounts notionally credited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including vesting, payment or

iii

forfeitability) as apply to the Restricted Stock Units based on which the dividend equivalents were notionally credited, and such amounts shall be paid in Common Stock at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate. The number of shares so paid in Common Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and shall be determined by dividing the amounts so notionally credited by the Market Value per Share on the payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section II.A.3, Grantee shall not be entitled to the cash notionally credited at any time to the Restricted Stock Units (or the Common Stock representing the same, as the case may be) either legally or beneficially unless and until Grantee becomes entitled to receive the actual Common Stock in respect of this Award pursuant to Section II.A.2 of this Agreement.”

Withholding. Section II.B.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

    “Grantee hereby indemnifies the Company, Grantee’s employer or any other person in respect of:

(i)    any amount of income tax for which the Company, Grantee’s employer or any other person is obliged to account under the Pay-As-You-Earn system and any amounts of employee’s national insurance contributions arising from the vesting of this Award (or which would not otherwise have arisen but for the grant of this Award to Grantee); and

(ii)    any amount of income tax for which the Company, Grantee’s employer or any other person is obliged to account under the Pay-As-You-Earn system and any amounts of employee’s national insurance contributions arising in respect of, or in connection with the holding or disposal by Grantee of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Award or the conversion of such shares of Common Stock into securities of another description whilst such shares of Common Stock are held by Grantee,

    and in pursuance of such indemnity, Grantee hereby agrees that he or she shall pay to the Company (or to such other entity as directed by it) such amount as shall be notified to Grantee by the Company as being due on any occasion under such indemnity, within seven days after being so notified. To the extent that Grantee fails to pay any amount so notified to him or her by the Company within seven days after such notification, Grantee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold, or procure the withholding, from any salary, wages, payment or payments due to Grantee from the Company or Grantee’s employer an amount which is equal to the amount notified to Grantee, sell or procure the sale of sufficient of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Grantee pursuant to this Award on behalf of Grantee to produce a sum which after any costs of sale is sufficient to discharge the amount so notified to Grantee and retain such sum or make such other arrangements, by which Grantee hereby agrees to be bound, so as to ensure that the amount notified to Grantee is discharged in full.

iv

    In the alternative to satisfying the indemnity in (i) above, Grantee hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the total number of shares of Common Stock that become issuable to Grantee on vesting of this Award a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Market Value per Share on the date of withholding equal to the amount due under (i) above as determined by the Company, in which case Grantee will be taken to have forfeited the right to be issued the number of shares of Common Stock so withheld in order to make good the amounts due under (i) above.

    The Company will not be obliged to deliver any shares of Common Stock to Grantee pursuant to this Award if Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section II.B.2 and Grantee shall not be entitled to receive the delivery of such shares of Common Stock.

    It is a further condition of delivery of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the vesting of this Award that Grantee will, if required to do so by the Company, enter into a joint election under section 431(1) of the United Kingdom Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (“ITEPA”), the effect of which is that the Common Stock will be treated as if they were not restricted securities and that sections 425 to 430 of ITEPA will not apply to those shares.”

Whistleblower Protection. The last sentence of Section II.B.3(b) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prevents Grantee, in accordance with applicable law, from (i) making a protected disclosure under section 43A of the Employment Rights Act 1996; (ii) making a disclosure to a regulator regarding any misconduct, wrongdoing or serious breach of regulatory requirements, or reporting a criminal offence to any law enforcement agency; (iii) co-operating with any law enforcement agency regarding a criminal investigation or prosecution; or (iv) otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity Grantee is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.”

Restrictive Covenants. Section II.B.3(c) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

    “(c)    Covenants Against Competition and Solicitation. Each of the restrictions set out in this Section II.B.3(c) constitutes an entirely separate, severable and independent obligation of Grantee. They are entered into in order to safeguard the legitimate business interests of the Company and particularly the goodwill of the Company in connection with its clients, suppliers and employees. Each separate restriction applies whether Grantee undertakes the activity in question directly or indirectly through a third party and whether it is undertaken on his own behalf or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any firm, company or person.

Grantee covenants that Grantee will not for the Restricted Period:

(i)    entice or solicit or endeavour to entice or solicit away from the Company or any Group Company any Relevant Employee;

v

(ii)    employ or otherwise engage or otherwise facilitate the employment or engagement of any Relevant Employee;

(iii)    solicit or endeavour to supply Restricted Goods or Services to any Relevant Customer;

(iv)    supply or be involved with the supply of Restricted Goods or Services to any Relevant Customer;

(v)    have any business dealings with any Relevant Customer on behalf of a Relevant Business;

(vi)    carry on or be concerned as a principal or agent in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(vii)    carry on or be concerned as a partner or member in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(viii)    be employed or engaged as a worker in any Relevant Business that operates or seeks to operate within the Restricted Area;

(ix)    be engaged as a consultant (directly or through another entity) or adviser to any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(x)    carry on or be concerned as a director of any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(xi)    hold a material financial interest in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area;

(xii)    hold a shareholding in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area, disregarding any financial interest of a person in securities which are listed or dealt in on any Recognised Stock Exchange if that person, Grantee and any person connected with Grantee are interested in securities which amount to less than five per cent of the issued securities of that class and which, in all circumstances, carry less than five per cent of the voting rights (if any) attaching to the issued securities of that class; and

(xiii)    be a person with significant control (under part 21A of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006) in any Relevant Business within the Restricted Area.

The restrictions above only apply in respect of business activities which compete or seek to compete with the Company and nothing in these provisions seeks to prevent Grantee in connection with activities which do not compete with the Company.

While the restrictions above are considered by Grantee and the Company to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is recognized that such restrictions may fail for unforeseen reasons and, it is therefore agreed that if any of the restrictions are held to be void, but would be valid if part of the wording were deleted or if the periods (if any) specified were reduced or the areas dealt with reduced in scope, such restrictions shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make them valid and effective.”

Terms and Conditions

This Addendum includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to you under the TriMas Corporation 2017 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (referred to as the “Plan”) if you are employed and/or reside in California or if the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with applicable law. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or your award agreement (the “Agreement”) that relates to your award. By accepting your award, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the paragraphs below in addition to the terms of the Plan, the Agreement, and the terms of any other document that may apply to you and your award.

Restrictive Covenants. Section II.B.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“3.    Restrictive Covenants.

(a)Generally. The Company would not be providing Restricted Stock Units or Common Stock to Grantee without Grantee’s agreement to abide by the restrictive covenants described herein. The provisions herein are appropriate in light of the position that Grantee has with the Company and the relationships and confidential and trade secret information that Grantee has been and will be exposed to because of Grantee’s position.

(b)Confidentiality. Recognizing Grantee’s fiduciary duties to the Company, as a condition of this Agreement, Grantee agrees that he or she shall not, at any time before or after termination of employment, in any fashion, form or manner, either directly or indirectly, use, divulge, disclose or communicate, or cause or permit any other person or entity to use, divulge, disclose or communicate, to any person, firm, company or entity, in any manner whatsoever, any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Company except with the prior written consent of the Board or to the extent specifically required to be disclosed by applicable law. Grantee agrees to notify the Company as soon as reasonably possible after being subpoenaed or otherwise requested by any third party to disclose any Confidential Information. This Section II.B.3 shall not result in the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units or any clawback or recoupment of the Award for the disclosure of a trade secret if that disclosure (1) is made in confidence to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), and as set forth fully therein, notice is hereby given that Grantee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

xiii

An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prevents Grantee from providing, without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations or otherwise testifying or participating in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental authorities regarding possible legal violations, and for purpose of clarity Grantee is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

(c)Covenant Against Solicitation. Grantee further understands and agrees that while Grantee is employed by the Company and for 12 months thereafter Grantee shall not directly or indirectly employ or solicit, or receive or accept the performance of services by, any then-current employee of the Company who is employed primarily in connection with the Business, or any former employee of the Company who was employed by the Company primarily in connection with the Business at any time within the 12-month period immediately prior to such employment, solicitation, receipt or acceptance, except in connection with general, non-targeted recruitment efforts such as advertisements and job listings, or directly or indirectly induce any employee of the Company to leave the Company, or assist in any of the foregoing. The “Business” shall mean the design, development, manufacture, distribution, sale or marketing of the type of products or services sold, distributed or provided by the Company during the one-year period prior to the date of employment termination and with which Grantee was involved and/or oversaw.

(d)Determination by the Board. Upon entering into this Agreement, Grantee understands and agrees that a determination of the Board shall be final and binding on the issue of whether Grantee’s actions are or will be in violation of this Section II.B.3. Grantee may request in writing from the Board an advance determination as to whether Grantee’s proposed actions will violate this Section II.B.3.

(e)Certain Definitions. The following definitions shall apply solely with respect to this Section II.B.3:

(1)    “Company” means (A) during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, the Company and any and all direct and indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which the Grantee has worked or had responsibility during the Grantee’s employment with the Company, and (B) after the Grantee’s termination of employment with the Company, the Company and any and all direct and indirect subsidiary, parent, affiliated or related companies of the Company for which Grantee worked or had responsibility at the time of the Grantee’s termination of employment and at any time during the one-year period prior to such termination of employment.

(2)    “Confidential Information” means trade secrets of the Company and all other confidential or proprietary information that relates to any aspect of the Company’s businesses that cannot freely and readily be obtained from sources outside of the Company. Confidential Information is meant to encompass the broadest enforceable definition of the Company’s intellectual property, and includes but is not limited to: financial and business information; customer and potential customer lists; customer contact information; pricing policies; vendor lists and information; third-party agreements and relationships; contractual,

xiv

business, and financial information relating to the Company’s customers or other third parties which the Company is obligated to hold in confidence and/or not disclose; personnel, medical, compensation, and benefits information relating to employees, former employees, and persons affiliated with the Company; systems, login identifications and passwords, processes, methods, and policies; company strategies and plans; databases, company data, and technologies related to the Company’s business; and marketing and advertising materials which have not been published. “Confidential Information” shall not include information that Grantee can establish was already in the public domain at the time of disclosure through no fault of Grantee.

(f)    Separate Covenants. Each of the covenants contained in this Section II.B.3 are separate and distinct covenants of Grantee.”

Privacy. A new Section II.B.16 is added to the Agreement to read as follows:

        “17.    Privacy. The Company respects Grantee’s privacy. In order to administer Grantee’s equity award, the Company collects and uses certain personal information about Grantee, including Grantee’s prior equity grant information where applicable. If Grantee is a California resident, Grantee should refer to the Company’s California Consumer Privacy Act Notice for more information about the personal information the Company collects about Grantee and the purposes for which the Company will use such data.”

TRIMAS CORPORATION

2017 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AGREEMENT

TriMas Corporation (the “Company”), as permitted by the TriMas Corporation 2017 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (“Plan”), and as approved by the Committee, has granted to the individual listed below (“Grantee”), a Restricted Stock Units award (“Award”) for the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth below (“Restricted Stock Units”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Restricted Stock Units Agreement (“Agreement”).

Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement have the same meanings as defined in the Plan. The term “Service Provider” as used in this Agreement means an individual actively providing services to the Company or a Subsidiary. A Service Provider includes a member of the Board.

I.    NOTICE OF AWARD

Grantee:	[specify Grantee’s name]
Date of Agreement:	As of [enter date]
Date of Grant:	[grant date]
Number of Restricted Stock Units:	[number of Restricted Stock Units]

II.    AGREEMENT

A.    Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company has granted to Grantee (who, pursuant to this Award is a Participant in the Plan) the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth above, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement are payable only in shares of Common Stock as described in Section II.A.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere else in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award are subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

    1.    Vesting.

(a)General. Subject to Section II.A.1(b), the Restricted Stock Units will vest in full on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Vesting Date”), subject generally to Grantee’s continued status as a Service Provider through such Vesting Date. In particular, this Award is subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan.

(b)Termination of Service; Forfeiture. Any unvested Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award will be canceled and forfeited if Grantee terminates as a Service Provider, or if Grantee’s status as a Service Provider is terminated by the Company, for any reason before the Vesting Date; provided, however, if Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to the Vesting Date as a result of Grantee’s death, Disability or Retirement, Grantee shall fully vest in the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award as of the date on which Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider due to Grantee’s death, Disability or Retirement.

(c)Disability Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” (and similar terms) means Grantee’s physical or mental condition resulting from any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that renders Grantee incapable of engaging in any substantial gainful employment and that can be expected to result in death or that has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 365 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee shall not be deemed to be Disabled as a result of any condition that:

(1)    was contracted, suffered, or incurred while Grantee was engaged in, or resulted from Grantee having engaged in, a felonious activity;

(2)    resulted from an intentionally self-inflicted injury or an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or substances which are not administered under the direction of a licensed physician as part of a medical treatment plan; or

(3)    resulted from service in the Armed Forces of the United States for which Grantee received or is receiving a disability benefit or pension from the United States, or from service in the armed forces of any other country irrespective of any disability benefit or pension.

The Disability of Grantee and the date on which Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider by reason of Disability shall be determined by the Committee, in accordance with uniform principles consistently applied, on the basis of such evidence as the Committee and the Company deem necessary and desirable, and its good faith determination shall be conclusive for all purposes of the Plan. The Committee or the Company shall have the right to require Grantee to submit to an examination by a physician or physicians and to submit to such reexaminations as the Committee or the Company shall require in order to make a determination concerning Grantee’s physical or mental condition; provided, however, that Grantee may not be required to undergo a medical examination more often than once each 180 days. If Grantee engages in any occupation or employment (except for rehabilitation as determined by the Committee) for remuneration or profit, which activity would be inconsistent with the finding of Disability, or if the Committee, on the recommendation of the Company, determines on the basis of a medical examination that Grantee no longer has a Disability, or if Grantee refuses to submit to any medical examination properly requested by the Committee or the Company, then in any such event Grantee shall be deemed to have recovered from such Disability.

(d)Retirement Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means termination of Grantee’s status as a Service Provider with the consent of the Committee after attaining age 55 and five years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries.

    -2-

(b)Other Payment Events. Notwithstanding Section II.A.2(a), to the extent the Restricted Stock Units are vested as a result of Section II.A.1(b) (and have not previously been settled) on the date of Grantee’s separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), the Company shall issue Grantee one share of Common Stock for each vested Restricted Stock Unit as soon as practicable following (but no later than thirty (30) days following) the date of such separation from service.

3.    Dividend Equivalent Rights. Grantee shall be credited with cash per Restricted Stock Unit equal to the amount of each cash dividend paid by the Company (if any) to holders of Common Stock generally with a record date occurring on or after the Date of Grant and prior to the time when the Restricted Stock Units are settled in accordance with Section II.A.2 hereof. Any amounts credited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including vesting, payment or forfeitability) as apply to the Restricted Stock Units based on which the dividend equivalents were credited, and such amounts shall be paid in either cash or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate. If such amounts are paid in Common Stock, the number of shares so paid shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and shall be determined by dividing such credited amounts by the Market Value per Share on the payment date.

4.    Rights as a Stockholder. Grantee will not have any rights of a stockholder (including voting and dividend rights) with respect to the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Award (except as otherwise provided in Section II.A.3).

(4)    Decision. Any decision or award of the arbitrator is final and binding on the parties to the arbitration proceeding. The parties agree that the arbitration award may be enforced against the parties to the arbitration proceeding or their assets wherever they may be found and that a judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(5)    Power. Nothing contained in this Agreement may be deemed to give the arbitrator any authority, power, or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add to, or subtract from any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

TriMas Corporation ("TriMas" or the "Company"), and its consolidated subsidiaries, designs, engineers and manufactures innovative products under leading brand names for customers primarily in the consumer products, aerospace & defense, and industrial markets.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from such estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus and related variants (“COVID-19”) as well as input cost inflation, supply chain disruptions, and shortages in global markets for commodities, logistics and labor. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Long-term debt, net	$	394,040	$	393,820

Senior Notes due 2029

In March 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due April 15, 2029 ("2029 Senior Notes") at par value in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). The Company used the proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering to pay fees and expenses of approximately $5.1 million related to the offering and pay fees and expenses of $1.0 million related to amending its existing credit agreement. In connection with the issuance, during the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed the redemption of its outstanding $300.0 million principal amount 4.875% senior notes due October 15, 2025 ("2025 Senior Notes"). The remaining cash proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including repaying all outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings. The $5.1 million of fees and expenses related to the 2029 Senior Notes were capitalized as debt issuance costs.

The 2029 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The payment of principal and interest is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The 2029 Senior Notes are pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings provided that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering. In addition, prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make whole" premium. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2029 Senior Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below:

Year	Percentage
2024	102.063	%
2025	101.031	%
2026 and thereafter	100.000	%

Senior Notes due 2025

In September 2017, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Senior Notes at par value in a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. During the second quarter of 2021, and in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding 2025 Senior Notes, as permitted under the indenture, at a price of 102.438% of the principal amount.

Credit Agreement

In March 2021, the Company amended its existing credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to extend the maturity date. The Company incurred fees and expenses of approximately $1.0 million related to the amendment, all of which was capitalized as debt issuance costs. The Company also recorded approximately $0.2 million of non-cash expense related to the write-off of previously capitalized deferred financing fees. The Credit Agreement consists of a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which permits borrowings denominated in specific foreign currencies, subject to a $125.0 million sub limit, maturing on March 29, 2026.

In November 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with a benchmark interest rate determined based on the currency denomination of borrowings. Effective January 1, 2022, the amendment replaced the reference rate terms for U.S. dollar LIBOR borrowings to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British pound sterling LIBOR borrowings to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") and Euro LIBOR borrowings to the Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), all plus a spread of 1.50%. The interest rate spread is based upon the leverage ratio, as defined, as of the most recent determination date.

The Credit Agreement also provides incremental revolving credit facility commitments in an amount not to exceed the greater of $200.0 million and an amount such that, after giving effect to such incremental commitments and the incurrence of any other indebtedness substantially simultaneously with the making of such commitments, the senior secured net leverage ratio, as defined, is no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The terms and conditions of any incremental revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the existing credit facility.

The Company's revolving credit facility allows for the issuance of letters of credit, not to exceed $40.0 million in aggregate. The Company places cash on deposit with a financial institution to be held as cash collateral for the Company's outstanding letters of credit; therefore, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no letters of credit issued against its revolving credit facility. See Note 6, "Cash and Cash Equivalents," for further information on its cash deposit. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $300.0 million potentially available. The Company's borrowing capacity was not reduced by leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The debt under the Credit Agreement is an obligation of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of such parties. Borrowings under the $125.0 million (equivalent) foreign currency sub limit of the $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a cross-guarantee amongst, and a pledge of the assets of, the foreign subsidiary borrowers that are a party to the agreement.  The Credit Agreement also contains various negative and affirmative covenants and other requirements affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, including the ability, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, to incur debt, liens, mergers, investments, loans, advances, guarantee obligations, acquisitions, assets dispositions, sale-leaseback transactions, hedging agreements, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements and amendments to charters, bylaws, and other material documents. The terms of the Credit Agreement also require the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to meet certain restrictive financial covenants and ratios computed quarterly, including a maximum total net leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness plus outstanding amounts under the accounts receivable securitization facility, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined), a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio (total consolidated senior secured indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of certain unrestricted cash and unrestricted permitted investments, as defined, over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA, as defined, over the sum of consolidated cash interest expense, as defined, and preferred dividends, as defined). At March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

Other Revolving Loan Facility

In May 2021, the Company, through one of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, entered into a revolving loan facility with a borrowing capacity of $4 million. The facility is guaranteed by TriMas Corporation. There were no borrowings outstanding on this loan facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Fair Value of Debt

The valuations of the Senior Notes and revolving credit facility were determined based on Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as defined. The carrying amounts and fair values were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Derivative Instruments

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company uses cross-currency swap contracts to hedge its net investment in Euro-denominated assets against future volatility in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. By doing so, the Company synthetically converts a portion of its U.S. dollar-based long-term debt into Euro-denominated long-term debt. At inception, the Company designates its cross-currency swaps as net investment hedges.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cross-currency swap agreements at notional amounts totaling $250.0 million, which declines to $25.0 million over various contract periods ending between April 15, 2022 and April 15, 2027. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is to receive net interest payments at fixed rates ranging from approximately 0.8% to 2.9% of the notional amounts.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value carrying amount of the Company's derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recorded as follows (dollars in thousands):

Over the next 12 months, the Company does not expect to reclassify any pre-tax deferred amounts from AOCI into earnings.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

As of March 31, 2022, the Company was party to foreign currency exchange forward contracts to economically hedge changes in foreign currency rates with notional amounts of approximately $135.8 million. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk associated with fluctuations in currency rates impacting cash flows related to certain of its receivables, payables and intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign exchange contracts primarily mitigate currency exposures between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and the Mexican peso, as well as between the Euro and British pound, and have various settlement dates through December 2022. These contracts are not designated as hedge instruments; therefore, gains and losses on these contracts are recognized each period directly into the consolidated statement of income.

The following table summarizes the effects of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments on the Company's consolidated statement of income (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value of Derivatives

The fair value of the Company's derivatives are estimated using an income approach based on valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single, discounted amount. Estimates of the fair value of the Company's cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts use observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves and forward currency exchange rates.

Asbestos

As of March 31, 2022, the Company was a party to 407 pending cases involving an aggregate of 4,782 claimants primarily alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos containing materials formerly used in gaskets (both encapsulated and otherwise) manufactured or distributed by its former Lamons division and certain other related subsidiaries for use primarily in the petrochemical, refining and exploration industries. The following chart summarizes the number of claims, number of claims filed, number of claims dismissed, number of claims settled, the average settlement amount per claim and the total defense costs, at the applicable date and for the applicable periods:

	Claims pending at beginning of period	Claims filed during period	Claims dismissed during period	Claims settled during period	Claims pending at end of period	Average settlement amount per claim during period		Total defense costs during period
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022	4,754	54	25	1	4,782	$	3,000	$	430,000
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021	4,655	265	134	32	4,754	$	16,819	$	1,950,000

In addition, the Company acquired various companies to distribute its products that had distributed gaskets of other manufacturers prior to acquisition. The Company believes that many of its pending cases relate to locations at which none of its gaskets were distributed or used.

The Company may be subjected to significant additional asbestos-related claims in the future, and will aggressively defend or reasonably resolve, as appropriate. The cost of settling cases in which product identification can be made may increase, and the Company may be subjected to further claims in respect of the former activities of its acquired gasket distributors. The cost of claims varies as claims may be initially made in some jurisdictions without specifying the amount sought or by simply stating the requisite or maximum permissible monetary relief, and may be amended to alter the amount sought. The large majority of claims do not specify the amount sought. Of the 4,782 claims pending at March 31, 2022, 35 set forth specific amounts of damages (other than those stating the statutory minimum or maximum). At March 31, 2022, of the 35 claims that set forth specific amounts, there were zero claims seeking more than $5 million for punitive damages. Below is a breakdown of the compensatory damages sought for those claims seeking specific amounts:

	Compensatory
Range of damages sought (dollars in millions)	$0.0 to $0.6	$0.6 to $5.0	$5.0+
Number of claims	—	2	33

Relatively few claims have reached the discovery stage and even fewer claims have gone past the discovery stage. Total settlement costs (exclusive of defense costs) for all such cases, some of which were filed over 30 years ago, have been approximately $10.6 million. All relief sought in the asbestos cases is monetary in nature. Based on the settlements made to date and the number of claims dismissed or withdrawn for lack of product identification, the Company believes that the relief sought (when specified) does not bear a reasonable relationship to its potential liability.

The Company records a liability for asbestos-related claims, which includes both known and unknown claims, based on a study from the Company’s third-party actuary, the Company's review of the study, as well as the Company’s own review of asbestos claims and claim resolution activity.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company commissioned its actuary to update the study, based on data as of September 30, 2021, which yielded a range of possible future liability of $28.2 million to $38.6 million. The Company did not believe any amount within the range of potential outcomes represented a better estimate than another given the many factors and assumptions inherent in the projections, and therefore recorded a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $1.5 million to increase the liability estimate to $28.2 million, at the low-end of the range. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total asbestos-related liability is $27.2 million, and is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s primary insurance, which covered approximately 40% of historical costs related to settlement and defense of asbestos litigation, expired in November 2018, upon which the Company became solely responsible for defense costs and indemnity payments. The Company is party to a coverage-in-place agreement (entered into in 2006) with its first level excess carriers regarding the coverage to be provided to the Company for asbestos-related claims. The coverage-in-place agreement makes asbestos defense costs and indemnity insurance coverage available to the Company that might otherwise be disputed by the carriers and provides a methodology for the administration of such expenses. The Company will continue to be solely responsible for defense costs and indemnity payments prior to the commencement of coverage under this agreement, the duration of which would be subject to the scope of damage awards and settlements paid. Based upon the Company’s review of the actuarial study, the Company does not believe it is probable that it will reach the threshold of qualified future settlements required to commence excess carrier insurance coverage under the coverage-in-place agreement.

Based upon the Company's experience to date, including the trend in annual defense and settlement costs incurred to date, and other available information (including the availability of excess insurance), the Company does not believe these cases will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Claims and Litigation

The Company is subject to other claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business, but does not believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

Equity Awards

Restricted Stock Units

The Company awarded the following restricted stock units ("RSUs") during the three months ended March 31, 2022:

•granted 195,398 RSUs to certain employees, which are subject only to a service condition and vest ratably over three years so long as the employee remains with the Company;

•granted 22,554 RSUs to its non-employee independent directors, which fully vest one year from date of grant so long as the director and/or Company does not terminate the director's service prior to the vesting date; and

•issued 337 RSUs related to director fee deferrals as certain of the Company's directors elected to defer all or a portion of their directors fees and to receive the amount in Company common stock at a future date.

•issued 58 RSUs to certain employees related to dividend equivalent rights on existing equity awards.

During 2022, the Company also awarded 85,156 performance-based RSUs to certain Company key employees which vest three years from the grant date as long as the employee remains with the Company. These awards are earned 50% based upon the Company's achievement of an earnings per share compound annual growth rate ("EPS CAGR") metric over a period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2024. The remaining 50% of the awards are earned based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of the common stock of a pre-defined industry peer-group, measured over the performance period. TSR is calculated as the Company's average closing stock price for the 20 trading days at the end of the performance period plus Company dividends, divided by the Company's average closing stock price for the 20 trading days prior to the start of the performance period. The Company estimates the grant-date fair value subject to a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model, using the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free rate of 1.88% and annualized volatility of 36.5%. Depending on the performance achieved for these two metrics, the amount of shares earned, if any, can vary for each metric from 0% of the target award to a maximum of 200% of the target award. For similar performance-based RSUs awarded in 2019, the Company attained 65.4% of the target on a weighted average basis, resulting in a decrease of 24,975 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Information related to RSUs at March 31, 2022 is as follows:

	Number of Unvested RSUs	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2022	673,732	$	27.38

Outstanding at March 31, 2022	843,370	$	28.97	1.3	$	27,063,743

As of March 31, 2022, there was approximately $13.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs that is expected to be recorded over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of approximately $2.8 million and $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per Share

Net income is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to stock options and RSUs. The following table summarizes the dilutive effect of RSUs and options to purchase common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2022	2021
Weighted average common shares—basic	42,799,206	43,185,007
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units	310,487	400,685
Dilutive effect of stock options	—	49,184
Weighted average common shares—diluted	43,109,693	43,634,876

In March 2020, the Company announced its Board of Directors had authorized the Company to increase the purchase of its common stock up to $250 million in the aggregate. This announcement represented the most recent update from the initial authorization, approved in November 2015, of up to $50 million of purchases in the aggregate of its common stock. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased 282,003 shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $9.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company purchased 82,171 shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $2.6 million. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $133.6 million remaining under the repurchase authorization.

Holders of common stock are entitled to dividends at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. In 2021 the Company's Board of Directors declared the first dividend since the Company's initial public offering in 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company's cash dividends declared were $0.04 per share of common stock and total dividends paid on common shares were $1.7 million. No dividends were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
