Item 8.01 Voluntary Disclosure of Other Events.

 

TriMas Corporation (the “Corporation”) had previously been notified on March 12, 2009 that it had fallen below the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.’s (“NYSE”) continued listing criterion that requires 30 days average market capitalization of not less than $75 million or total stockholders’ equity of not less than $75 million. Effective retroactively to May 12, 2009, the NYSE received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to lower the numeric thresholds for these listing standards to $50 million at least through October 31, 2009.

 

In a letter dated June 1, 2009 and received on June 2, 2009, the Corporation received written notification from the NYSE that, as a result of the above mentioned pilot program, the Corporation is deemed to be in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements that pertain to market capitalization and stockholders’ equity.

 

As of the close of trading on June 2, 2009, the Corporation’s market capitalization was $124,915,915.
