Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
On December 11, 2019, Triumph Group, Inc. (the “Company”) contributed 1,730,703 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Securities”), to Vought Aircraft Industries Inc., Master Defined Benefit Trust (the “Trust”), which is the funding vehicle for the Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. Hourly Retirement Plan. The Securities were contributed to the Trust as a discretionary contribution in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the contribution was $28.89 per share (for an aggregate of approximately $50 million). The amount that the Company can recognize in satisfaction of its obligation will vary over time. However, as a result of the contribution, the Company does not expect that it will have any required contribution to the Trust in its 2021 fiscal year. Additionally, the contribution is expected to reduce future required payments, the exact amount of which to be determined at a later date.
The Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission naming the Trust as a selling security holder thereunder (the “Registration Statement”). Concurrently with the contribution, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement, pursuant to which the Trust may resell the Securities from time to time.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
In connection with the contribution of Securities to the Trust, the Company has appointed Newport Trust Company to serve as investment manager and independent fiduciary to, among other things, manage the Securities while held as an asset of the Trust.
