At the Triumph Group, Inc. (the "Company") annual meeting of the stockholders to be held on Thursday, July 19, 2012, the Company's stockholders will vote on a proposal to approve an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate cumulative voting to allow for the adoption of a majority vote standard in the election of directors. If the proposal is approved by the Company's stockholders, the Board of Directors of the Company will adopt an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws to change the vote standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections from a plurality of votes cast to a majority of votes cast. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” such director. In contested elections, the vote standard will continue to be a plurality of votes cast.
