Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 23, 2011, TriMas Company LLC (“TriMas LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TriMas Corporation (“TriMas Corp.”), entered into an incremental facility agreement among TriMas LLC, TriMas Corp., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Incremental Class A Revolving Lender”) and the other Loan Parties party thereto (the “Incremental Facility Agreement”).
The Incremental Facility Agreement provides a revolving commitment by the Incremental Class A Revolving Lender in an aggregate amount equal to $15,000,000 (“Incremental Class A Revolving Commitment”). The Incremental Class A Revolving Commitment constitutes an additional Class A Revolving Commitment under the Credit Agreement and therefore the terms of the Incremental Class A Revolving Commitment and the Loans and other extensions of credit to be made pursuant to the Incremental Facility Agreement will be identical to those of the Class A Revolving Commitments and Loans and other extensions of credit made pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and will be treated as a single class with such Class A Revolving Commitments and Loans. As of the date of this filing, TriMas LLC has not drawn any amounts under the revolving loan.
The Incremental Class A Revolving Lender, and its affiliates, have performed and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for us and our subsidiaries for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.

The foregoing description of the Incremental Facility Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Incremental Facility Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
