Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 13, 2025, Triumph Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to that certain Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, dated
March 11, 2022, effective as of March 13, 2022 (the “Plan”), by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent. In connection with the terms of the Plan and the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
“Merger”), dated as of February 2, 2025, by and among the Company, Titan BW Acquisition Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Titan BW Acquisition Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger
Sub”), (i) the Board of Directors of the Company exempted Parent and Merger Sub from the definition of “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Plan), conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and (ii) the Company committed to terminate the Plan
concurrent with or prior to the consummation of the Merger.
The Amendment (i) increases the purchase price for each one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, from $105.00 to $125.00, (ii) extends the Final Expiration Date (as defined in the Plan) from March 13, 2025 to March 13, 2028 (subject to other earlier termination events, including if stockholder approval of the Amendment has not
been obtained by March 13, 2026), (iii) amends the definition of Expiration Date to provide that, in addition to the existing expiration events, the Plan will expire automatically upon the earlier effectiveness of the Merger and (iv) changes the
Company’s address for notices or demands under the Plan.
The Amendment was not adopted as a result of or in response to, any effort to acquire control of the Company. The Amendment has been adopted in order to
preserve for the Company’s stockholders the long-term value of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards for United States federal income tax purposes and other tax benefits.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which was filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in a Current Report on Form 8-K on March 11, 2022, and the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference.
