Items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Statement are hereby amended as set forth below. Item 2. Identity and Background. Item 2(a) is amended as follows: (a) This Statement is filed (i) by Tremont Corporation ("Tremont") as the direct holder of Shares, (ii) by virtue of the direct and indirect ownership of securities of Tremont (as described below in this Statement), by Tremont Group, Inc. ("TGI"), Tremont Holdings, LLC ("TRE Holdings"), NL Industries, Inc. ("NL"), Valhi, Inc. ("Valhi"), Valhi Group, Inc. ("VGI"), National City Lines, Inc. ("National"), NOA, Inc. ("NOA"), Dixie Holding Company ("Dixie Holding"), Dixie Rice Agricultural Corporation, Inc. ("Dixie Rice"), Southwest Louisiana Land Company, Inc. ("Southwest"), Contran Corporation ("Contran"), The Combined Master Retirement Trust (the "CMRT") and the Harold Simmons Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation") and (iii) by virtue of his positions with Contran and certain of the other entities (as described in this Statement), by Harold C. Simmons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). By signing this Statement, each Reporting Person agrees that this Statement is filed on its or his behalf. Tremont is the direct holder of approximately 38.5% of the 31,877,497 Shares outstanding as of July 31, 2001 according to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 (the "Outstanding Shares"). Tremont may be deemed to control the Company. TGI, TRE Holdings and Valhi are the direct holders of approximately 80.0%, 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Tremont common stock and together may be deemed to control Tremont. Valhi and TRE Holdings are the direct holders of 80.0% and 20.0%, respectively of the outstanding common stock of TGI and together may be deemed to control TGI. NL is the sole member of TRE Holdings and may be deemed to control TRE Holdings. Valhi and Tremont are the direct holders of approximately 60.9% and 20.6%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of NL and together may be deemed to control NL. VGI, National, Contran, the Foundation, the Contran Deferred Compensation Trust No. 2 (the "CDCT No. 2") and the CMRT are the direct holders of 81.7%, 9.5%, 2.1%, 0.5%, 0.4% and 0.1%, respectively, of the common stock of Valhi. Together, VGI, National and Contran may be deemed to control Valhi. National, NOA and Dixie Holding are the direct holders of approximately 73.3%, 11.4% and 15.3%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of VGI. Together, National, NOA and Dixie Holding may be deemed to control VGI. Contran and NOA are the direct holders of approximately 85.7% and 14.3%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of National and together may be deemed to control National. Contran and Southwest are the direct holders of approximately 49.9% and 50.1%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of NOA and together may be deemed to control NOA. Dixie Rice is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dixie Holding and may be deemed to control Dixie Holding. Contran is the holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dixie Rice and may be deemed to control Dixie Rice. Contran is the holder of approximately 88.9% of the outstanding common stock of Southwest and may be deemed to control Southwest. Substantially all of Contran's outstanding voting stock is held by trusts established for the benefit of certain children and grandchildren of Harold C. Simmons (the "Trusts"), of which Mr. Simmons is the sole trustee. As sole trustee of each of the Trusts, Mr. Simmons has the power to vote and direct the disposition of the shares of Contran stock held by each of the Trusts. Mr. Simmons, however, disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Contran stock that the Trusts hold. The Foundation directly holds approximately 0.5% of the outstanding Valhi common stock. The Foundation is a tax-exempt foundation organized for charitable purposes. Harold C. Simmons is the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the Foundation and may be deemed to control the Foundation. The CDCT No. 2 directly holds approximately 0.4% of the outstanding Valhi common stock. U.S. Bank National Association serves as the trustee of the CDCT No. 2. Contran established the CDCT No. 2 as an irrevocable "rabbi trust" to assist Contran in meeting certain deferred compensation obligations that it owes to Harold C. Simmons. If the CDCT No. 2 assets are insufficient to satisfy such obligations, Contran is obligated to satisfy the balance of such obligations as they come due. Pursuant to the terms of the CDCT No. 2, Contran (i) retains the power to vote the shares of Valhi common stock held directly by the CDCT No. 2, (ii) retains dispositive power over such shares and (iii) may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such shares. The CMRT directly holds approximately 0.1% of the outstanding shares of Valhi common stock. Valhi established the CMRT as a trust to permit the collective investment by master trusts that maintain the assets of certain employee benefit plans Valhi and related companies adopt. Mr. Simmons is the sole trustee of the CMRT and a member of the trust investment committee for the CMRT. Mr. Simmons is a participant in one or more of the employee benefit plans that invest through the CMRT. Valmont Insurance Company ("Valmont") and a subsidiary of NL directly own 1,000,000 shares and 1,186,200 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock. Valhi is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Valmont and may be deemed to control Valmont. Pursuant to Delaware law, Valhi treats the shares of Valhi common stock that Valmont and the subsidiary of NL own as treasury stock for voting purposes and for the purposes of this Statement such shares are not deemed outstanding. Mr. Harold C. Simmons is chairman of the board and chief executive officer of TGI, Valhi, VGI, National, NOA, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest and Contran. Mr. Simmons is also chairman of the board of NL and a director of Tremont. By virtue of the holding of the offices, the stock ownership and his service as trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr. Simmons may be deemed to control the entities described above and (b) Mr. Simmons and certain of such entities may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of Shares directly held by certain of such other entities. However, Mr. Simmons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any of such entities. Harold C. Simmons' spouse is the direct owner of 69,475 shares of NL common stock and 77,000 shares of Valhi common stock. Mr. Simmons may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of such shares. Mr. Simmons disclaims all such beneficial ownership. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Item 3 is amended as follows: The Reporting Persons understand that the funds required by each person named in Schedule B to this Statement to acquire Shares were from such person's personal funds or funds loaned to Mr. Robert E. Musgraves by the Company under the Company's executive stock ownership loan program, the terms of which are set forth in the form of loan and pledge agreement included as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference. Repayment of this loan is secured by the stock purchased with the loan proceeds. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Item 4 is amended as follows: On September 19, 2001, Valhi sent a letter to Tremont and the Company proposing to sell each of Valhi's and Tremont's shares of NL common stock to the Company for Shares and Company debt securities on terms to be appropriately determined. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference. On September 21, 2001, Valhi issued a press release stating that Valhi would not approve any transaction that may be negotiated with an independent committee of the Company's board of directors and its advisors without the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares voting that are held by persons other than Valhi, Tremont and their affiliates. There is no assurance that any transaction will be consummated under the terms of the proposed offer or otherwise. Depending upon their evaluation of the Company's business and prospects, and upon future developments (including, but not limited to, performance of the Shares in the market, availability of funds, alternative uses of funds, the Reporting Persons' tax planning objectives and money, stock market and general economic conditions), any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed to be affiliated with Contran may from time to time purchase Shares, and any of the Reporting Persons, or other entities that may be deemed to be affiliated with Contran may from time to time dispose of all or a portion of the Shares held by such person, or cease buying or selling Shares. Any such additional purchases or sales of the Shares may be in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. As described under Item 2, Harold C. Simmons, through Contran, may be deemed to control the Company. The information included in Item 6 of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Persons understand that prior purchases of Shares by each of the persons named in Schedule B to this Statement and Mr. Simmons' spouse were made for the purpose of such person's personal investment. Certain of the persons named in Schedule B to this Statement, namely J. Landis Martin, Robert E. Musgraves, Harold C. Simmons, Glenn R. Simmons, Thomas P. Stafford, Mark A. Wallace and Steven L. Watson, are directors or officers of the Company and may acquire Shares from time to time pursuant to benefit plans that the Company sponsors or other compensation arrangements with the Company. Except as described in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of such persons, any other person named in Schedule B to the this Statement has formulated any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any matter required to be disclosed in response to paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 is amended as follows: (a) Tremont is the direct beneficial owner of 12,280,005 Shares. By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of this Statement, TGI, TRE Holdings, NL, Valhi, VGI, National, NOA, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest, Contran, the Foundation, the CMRT and Harold C. Simmons may each be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 12,280,005 Shares (approximately 38.5% of the Outstanding Shares) that Tremont holds directly. Mr. Simmons disclaims beneficial ownership of all Shares. (b) By virtue of the relationships described in Item 2, Tremont, TGI, TRE Holdings, NL, Valhi, VGI, National, NOA, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest, Contran, the Foundation, the CMRT and Harold C.

EX-2 3 tie8ex2.txt EXHIBIT 2 [Valhi, Inc. Letterhead] Steven L. Watson President (972) 450-4216 September 19, 2001 Board of Directors Board of Directors Titanium Metals Corporation Tremont Corporation 1999 Broadway 1999 Broadway Suite 4300 Suite 4300 Denver, Colorado 80202 Denver, Colorado 80202 Ladies and Gentlemen: Valhi, Inc. and Tremont Corporation own 30,135,390 shares and 10,215,541 shares, respectively, of the common stock of NL Industries, Inc., representing approximately 81.5% of the outstanding shares of NL. Valhi believes TIMET's acquisition of the NL shares held by Valhi and Tremont in a transaction in which each NL share would be exchanged for 1.65 to 2.00 shares of newly-issued TIMET common stock plus TIMET debt securities in the principal amount of $10.00 to $12.00, with terms to be appropriately determined, would provide an attractive investment opportunity for TIMET at a fair and reasonable price for all parties. Such an acquisition would, among other things, (i) allow TIMET to diversify into an industry that historically would moderate TIMET's business cycles, (ii) provide a significant and consistent level of profitability to offset TIMET's inconsistent financial results, (iii) improve access to capital resources and markets as a result of a significantly larger asset and capital base, (iv) facilitate future growth through expansion of current operations and potential acquisitions, (v) provide for opportunities to achieve administrative cost savings and (vi) result in TIMET and NL becoming members of the same consolidated tax group, which could provide significant tax benefits to TIMET. Your prompt consideration and response to this proposal is appreciated. Sincerely, Steven L. Watson, President
