INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
On March 11, 1999, the Board of Directors of Trinity Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, $1.00 par value (the “Common Stock”), to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 27, 1999. See the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed April 2, 1999, as amended, for a complete description of the Rights Agreement, as amended (the “Rights Agreement”).
On May 15, 2006 the Company declared a 3-for-2 stock split in the form of a stock dividend (the “Stock Dividend”) to holders of record of the Common Stock as of May 26, 2006. As a result of the Stock Dividend, each holder of two shares of the Common Stock received one additional share of Common Stock as of the distribution date on June 9, 2006.
Before the Stock Dividend, the Rights Agreement provided for one right to purchase one one-hundredth (1/100) of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $200.00 per share, subject to adjustment, for each share of Common Stock. Pursuant to Section 11(p) of the Rights Agreement, following the Stock Dividend, each share of Common Stock outstanding shall have attached to it 2/3 (two-thirds) of a Right, and each full Right will continue to entitle the holder to purchase 1/100 of a share of Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $200.00 (subject to possible future adjustment as provided in the Rights Agreement).
The Company also entered into an Agreement of Substitution and Amendment of Common Shares Rights Agreement dated as of March 6, 2006 with American Stock Transfer and Trust Company (“AST”) pursuant to which AST was substituted as the rights agent under the Rights Agreement.
