Note 12 – Related Party Transactions

Under the terms of the Plan, the Company is restricted from paying any distributions, dividends or redemptions until after the former Majority Shareholder payments are made in full. The Certificate of Incorporation of Trinity provides for a preferred series share, held by the former Majority Shareholder and which is pledged as security and held in escrow, entitling the former Majority Shareholder to control a majority of the Board of Directors if the former Majority Shareholder Payments are not made by October 16, 2016, provided that and conditioned upon the General Unsecured Claim Satisfaction having occurred.

In addition, as part of the Plan, Marcy Syms agreed to repay the Company $1,613,559 for all premiums paid by the Company on her behalf after the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as $160,800 for the net present value of pre-Sarbanes-Oxley premiums, for a total of $1,774,359. At November 24, 2012, the value of these premiums was recorded as an offset against the payment due under the Plan to the former Majority Shareholder (i.e., Marcy Syms and her related trusts) on account of the redemption of the former Majority Shareholder’s shares of Company common stock referred to above.

Ms. Syms, the Company and Filene’s, LLC also entered into an agreement in connection with the Plan whereby all rights to the commercial use of the “Syms” name and to any images of Ms. Syms and her family members were assigned to Ms. Syms.
