Trinity to Spin-off Company's Infrastructure-Related Businesses

In December 2017, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to pursue a spin-off of its infrastructure-related businesses to its shareholders. The separation is planned as a tax-free spin-off transaction to the Company's shareholders for US federal income tax purposes, and is expected to be completed in the second half of 2018. The transaction is expected to result in two separate public companies that would benefit from leading positions in their respective industries, strong free cash flow generation, and compelling growth opportunities. This would also give the investment community better insight into the potential value that Trinity's businesses can continue to create.
