BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan, May 28, 2015 – TriMas Corporation (NASDAQ: TRS) announced today that Horizon Global Corporation, the newly created company to effect the spin-off of its Cequent businesses, has secured the ticker symbol “HZN” and plans to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange when it becomes a publicly-traded company. The spin-off, which was previously announced in December 2014, is targeted to be completed in mid-2015.

Horizon Global will have approximately 2,800 employees located at 20 facilities throughout the world. Horizon Global’s management team, including A. Mark Zeffiro, president and chief executive officer, and David Rice, chief financial officer, will be located in the new company’s headquarters in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
