Amendment No. 4 to Statement on Schedule 13D

This Amendment (this “Amendment”) No. 4 to Statement on Schedule 13D (as heretofore amended, the “Statement”) relates to the beneficial ownership of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of TriMas Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment is being filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons (as defined below).

The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment to amend the statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the Common Stock filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2009 pursuant to Rule 13d-1(d).

This Amendment is being filed by the Reporting Persons to update the disclosure in Item 4 in connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

On May 12, 2010, HIP Investment Holdings I, LLC (“Holdings I”) sold 100,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.38 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $1,034,000. On May 13, 2010, Holdings I sold an additional 31,600 shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.40 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $328,640. Subject to market conditions, the Reporting Persons may sell additional shares of common stock to yield proceeds of an additional $2—$5 million over the subsequent six month period. The purpose of these sales is to raise funds to meet Heartland Industrial Associates L.L.C.’s (“Heartland”) internal funding needs for the next twelve months and are not an indication of Heartland’s view of the business prospects of the Issuer.

Except as set forth above, although the Reporting Persons have no specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of their Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons, and/or other investment considerations.

Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more stockholders of the Issuer, one or more officers or employees of the Issuer, one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations, business, results, plans, prospects, ownership structure and management. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected, may result in acquisitions by persons of additional securities of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, changes in the Issuer’s capitalization and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer.

Except as set forth in this Statement, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
