Explanatory Note:

As previously announced, on April 10, 2019, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) issued an Order and Decision allowing Tronox Holdings plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Tronox” or the “Company”), to consummate the acquisition (the “Cristal Transaction”) of the titanium dioxide (“TiO2”) business of The National Titanium Dioxide Company Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“Cristal”), subject to the divestiture of Cristal’s North American TiO2 business to INEOS Enterprises, a division of INEOS.  On April 11, 2019, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the completion on April 10, 2019 of the Cristal Transaction.

Pursuant to the FTC’s Order and Decision issued in connection with the Cristal Transaction, on May 2, 2019, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that on May 1, 2019 the Company completed the sale (the “Ashtabula Transaction”) by Tronox Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, of Cristal Holdings Inc., to INEOS Joliet US Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of INEOS AG, for proceeds of approximately $700 million in cash, subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment. The Cristal Transaction, together with the related Ashtabula Transaction, is referred to as the herein “Acquisition Transactions.”

This amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 11, 2019 is for the purpose of filing the required financial statements of Cristal and the required pro forma financial information relating to the Acquisition Transactions within 71 calendar days after the date of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 11, 2019.
