Senior Notes Offering

On May 21, 2024, Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity”) issued a press release announcing that it intends to offer (the “Additional Notes Offering”) an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes will constitute a further issuance of Trinity’s 7.750% Senior Notes due 2028 in the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, which were issued on June 30, 2023 (the “Existing Notes”). The Additional Notes will have identical terms and conditions (other than the original issue date, issue price, the first interest payment date and the first date from which interest will accrue) as the Existing Notes. Upon the completion of the Additional Notes Offering, Trinity will have $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Senior Notes due 2028 outstanding. The Additional Notes will be offered to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, subject to market and other conditions.

Trinity intends to use the net proceeds from the Additional Notes Offering, if consummated, together with cash on hand and/or borrowings under its corporate revolving credit facility, to (i) finance the repayment in full of its 4.550% Senior Notes due 2024 and (ii) pay related fees, costs, premiums and expenses in connection therewith and with the Additional Notes Offering.
