AMENDMENT NO. 48 TO SCHEDULE 13D This amended statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the Common Stock, $.125 par value per share (the "Shares") of NL Industries, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Company" or "NL"). Items 3,4 and 5 of this Statement, previously filed (i) by Valhi, Inc. ("Valhi") and Tremont Corporation ("Tremont") as the direct beneficial owners of Shares, (ii) by virtue of their respective direct and indirect holdings of securities of Valhi and Tremont (as described previously on this Statement), by Contran Corporation ("Contran"); Valhi Group, Inc. ("VGI"); National City Lines, Inc. ("National"); NOA, Inc. ("NOA"); Dixie Rice Agricultural Corporation, Inc. ("Dixie Rice"); Dixie Holding Company ("Dixie Holding"); Southwest Louisiana Land Company, Inc. ("Southwest") and The Combined Master Retirement Trust ("Master Trust") and (iii) by virtue of his positions with Contran, the Master Trust and certain other entities, as described previously on this Statement, Harold C. Simmons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), are hereby amended as set forth below. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration No change except for the addition of the following: The total amount of funds required by Valhi to acquire the Shares reported in Item 5(c) was $440,750 (including commissions). Such funds were or will be provided by Valhi's cash on hand and no funds were borrowed for such purpose. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. No change except for the addition of the following: Valhi and Tremont acquired Shares to obtain a controlling equity interest in the Company. Valhi purchased the additional Shares reported in Item 5(c) of this Statement in order to increase its equity interest in the Company, which the Reporting Persons believe is an attractive investment, and intends, subject to the factors described below, to increase its direct equity interest in the Company to more than 50%. 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, and money, stock market and general economic conditions), any of the Reporting Persons, other than the Master Trust, 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. On November 30, 1994 Valhi filed, with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, Notification and Report Forms pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 regarding the future possible acquisition of a number of Shares that, when combined with Valhi's existing direct holdings of Shares, will exceed the 50% reporting threshold under that Act. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. No change except for the addition of the following: (a) Tremont is the direct beneficial owner of 9,064,780 Shares, or approximately 17.8% of the 51,042,443 Shares outstanding as of November 7, 1994 (the "Outstanding Shares"), according to information contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 (the "Quarterly Report"). By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of this Statement, each of the other Reporting Persons may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares directly beneficially owned by Tremont. Harold C. Simmons disclaims all such beneficial ownership. Valhi is the direct beneficial owner of 25,512,010 Shares, or approximately 49.9% of the Outstanding Shares according to the information contained in the Quarterly Report. By virtue of the relationships reported under Item 2 of this Statement, Valhi may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 34,576,790 Shares, or approximately 67.7% of the outstanding Shares according to information contained in the Quarterly Report. By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of this Statement, VGI, National, NOA, Southwest, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Contran, the Master Trust and Harold C. Simmons may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares directly owned by Valhi. Mr. Simmons disclaims all such beneficial ownership. (c) The table below sets forth purchases of the Shares by the Reporting Persons during the last 60 days. All of such purchases were effected by Valhi on the New York Stock Exchange.
