TRINITY INDUSTRIES,

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On November 19, 2020, Trinity Rail Leasing 2020 LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("TRL-2020") and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), owned by the Company
through the Company's direct wholly-owned subsidiary Trinity Industries Leasing
Company ("TILC"), issued an aggregate principal amount of (i) $110,000,000
principal amount of TRL-2020's Series 2020-2 Class A-1 Secured Railcar Equipment
Notes (the "Class A-1 Notes"), (ii) $240,300,000 principal amount of TRL-2020's
Series 2020-2 Class A-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "Class A-2 Notes"),
and (iii) $20,500,000 principal amount of TRL-2020's Series 2020-2 Class B
Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "Class B Notes") (the Class A-1 Notes, the
Class A-2 Notes, and the Class B Notes are, collectively, the "Notes"). The
Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated November 19, 2020 (the
"Indenture") between TRL-2020 and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture
trustee, as supplemented by a Series 2020-2 Supplement dated November 19, 2020.
The Notes bear interest at fixed rates as follows: (i) the Class A-1 Notes at
1.83%, (ii) the Class A-2 Notes at 2.56%, and (iii) the Class B Notes at 3.69%.
The Notes are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of November
19, 2050.
Concurrently, TILC purchased (i) TRL-2020's Series 2020-2 Class R-1 Secured
Railcar Equipment Notes (the "Class R-1 Notes") and (ii) TRL-2020's Series
2020-2 Class R-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "Class R-2 Notes") (the
Class R-1 Notes and the Class R-2 Notes are, collectively, the "Subordinated
Notes").
The Notes and the Subordinated Notes are obligations of TRL-2020 only. The Notes
and the Subordinated Notes are secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating
leases thereon acquired and owned by TRL-2020 (the "Railcar Portfolio") and
other assets of TRL-2020. The Notes were offered and sold in a private placement
solely to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to persons who
are not U.S. persons in offers and sales that occur outside the United States in
reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, pursuant to a note purchase
agreement as described in the Company's Form 8-K filed October 23, 2020.
While the stated final maturity of the Notes is November 19, 2050, cash flow
from TRL-2020's assets will be applied, pursuant to the payment priorities of
the Indenture, so as to amortize the Notes to achieve monthly targeted principal
balances. If the cash flow assumptions used in determining the targeted balances
are met, it is anticipated that the Notes will be repaid well in advance of
their stated final maturity date. There can be no assurance, however, that such
cash flow assumptions will be realized. In addition, the Notes may be subject to
acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the
Indenture, including a failure to pay interest on the Notes, and a failure of
the Notes to amortize to the extent that, over time, the outstanding principal
balance of the Notes was to eventually exceed the sum of the depreciated value
of the Railcar Portfolio and the amounts on deposit in certain accounts of
TRL-2020. The decision whether to accelerate or exercise other remedies against
TRL-2020 and its assets will be under the control of holders representing a
majority of the senior class of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes
and, after payment in full of all of the Notes, holders representing a majority
of the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Notes.
TRL-2020 purchased the Railcar Portfolio directly from TILC and from TILC's
affiliate, TRIHC 2018 LLC ("TRIHC"), and Trinity Rail Leasing Warehouse Trust
("TRLWT"). Net proceeds received from the railcars acquired in connection with
the issuance of the Notes will be used to repay approximately $22.1 million of
borrowings under TRLWT's secured warehouse credit facility, to redeem in full
approximately $258.6 million of secured notes issued by TRIHC, and for general
corporate purposes.
As noted above, the Notes are solely the obligations of TRL-2020. TILC has,
however, entered into certain agreements relating to the transfer of the Railcar
Portfolio to TRL-2020 and the management and servicing of TRL-2020's assets.
These agreements contain certain representations, undertakings and indemnities
customary for asset sellers and service providers in transactions of this type.
