MEDIA RELEASE

TRIMAS SEEKS TO REFINANCE CREDIT FACILITIES

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICH., June 23, 2006 — TriMas Corporation today announced that it is seeking to refinance its existing $410.0 million senior secured credit facilities to enhance financial and operating flexibility and extend maturities. Proceeds from the new credit facilities would be used to refinance all outstanding amounts under the existing senior credit facilities and for general corporate purposes.

The refinancing commitment letter issued by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank NA and J.P. Morgan Securities contemplates terms substantially similar to the company’s existing credit agreement, other than changes contemplated by the term sheet incorporated into the commitment letter and such additional changes as the parties agree upon. Principally, the term sheet provides for: (a) a $260.0 million senior secured Tranche B loan; (b) up to a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility; (c) a $50.0 million senior secured synthetic facility; and (d) additional incremental term loans not to exceed $100.0 million under certain circumstances.

J.P. Morgan’s obligations under the commitment letter are subject to its best efforts to obtain commitments for the portion of the senior credit facility not covered by J.P. Morgan and other conditions to closing.
