NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Barington Capital Group, L.P. and its affiliates, including The Eastern Company (NasdaqGM: EML) ("Barington" or "we"), which collectively own 1.0% of TriMas Corporation (NasdaqGS: TRS) ("TriMas" or the "Company"), announced today that it has sent a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of TriMas, Thomas Amato, recommending the Company implement a plan to improve long-term shareholder value.

Key Points:

James Mitarotonda, Chairman of Barington, said, "We believe TriMas' poor share price performance is a direct result of the challenges it is experiencing at its Packaging segment and the subscale size of its Aerospace segment.
Furthermore, we believe TriMas' multi-segment structure is not delivering long-term value for stockholders, as the sum of TriMas' segments are worth well in excess of its current share price."
We believe our proposal can be implemented by divesting Arrow Engine, as the business is performing at peak levels, and the Aerospace segment, once its margins normalize.
We are confident that our proposal can maximize shareholder value, unlocking $42-$54 per share for stockholders over three years or approximately 65%-116% above the Company's recent share price.

(NYSE: HBI) (“Hanesbrands” or the “Company”), yesterday sent a letter to Ronald L. Nelson, Chairman of Hanesbrands, calling for immediate and decisive actions to create long-term value for shareholders.
In its letter, Barington highlights that Hanesbrands’ share price has declined by -51.6% in the last year alone.1 Barington believes this destruction in value is due to the Company’s largely ineffective response to recent market challenges, poor operating performance, and excessive debt burden.
Additionally, in its letter, Barington questions the ability of the incumbent board and management team to guide the Company through its current challenges.
Barington invests in undervalued publicly traded companies that Barington believes can appreciate significantly in value when substantive improvements are made to their operations, corporate strategy, capital allocation and corporate governance.
