Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 12, 2007, Trex Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated June 12, 2007 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as Representative of the underwriters identified in the Underwriting Agreement. Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell $85,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”) in an underwritten public offering pursuant to its effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-143171) and a related prospectus supplement dated June 13, 2007 (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The Company also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $12,500,000 in principal amount of Notes from the Company at the same offering price. The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture to be entered into between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee. The closing of the offering of the Notes is expected to occur on or about June 18, 2007, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as exhibit 1.1 to this report and incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01 .

A copy of the Company’s news release dated June 13, 2007 announcing the pricing of the offering of the Notes is filed as exhibit 99.1 to this report.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02.

As described in Item 1.01, on June 12, 2007, the Company agreed to issue and sell up to $97,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes provide for “net share settlement” upon any conversion, pursuant to which the Company will pay an amount in cash up to the principal amount of the converted Notes and will settle in common stock of the Company any excess of the conversion value, as defined in the indenture, over the proportionate principal amount of such Notes. The terms on which the Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock, including the formula prescribed for calculating the number of shares of common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion, are described in the sections of the Prospectus Supplement entitled “Description of notes—Conversion rights” and “—Payment upon conversion,” which description is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02. To the extent that any common stock is issued upon conversion of the Notes, such common stock will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof, because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with the conversion of the Notes and issuance of such common stock.
