TRONOX INCORPORATED

3301 NW 150 Street

Oklahoma City, OK 73134

            , 2012

Dear Tronox Incorporated Stockholder:

Thank you for your support as we work toward completing the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Transaction Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2012 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among Tronox Incorporated, Tronox Limited, Concordia Acquisition Corporation, Concordia Merger Corporation, Exxaro Resources Limited (“Exxaro”), Exxaro Holdings Sands Proprietary Limited and Exxaro International BV. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, we will combine our existing business with Exxaro’s mineral sands business under a new Australian holding company, Tronox Limited. In addition, Tronox Incorporated will participate in two mergers (the “Mergers”), as a result of which it will become a subsidiary of Tronox Limited. The Mergers will be considered at a special meeting of Tronox Incorporated stockholders to be held on             , 2012. Subject to the receipt of stockholder approval and satisfaction of certain other closing conditions, we presently expect that the transaction, including the Mergers, will be completed during the second calendar quarter of 2012.

Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, in connection with the Mergers, each Tronox Incorporated stockholder has the opportunity to elect to receive, as merger consideration for each share of Tronox Incorporated common stock that he, she or it owns, either (1) one Class A ordinary share in Tronox Limited (each such share, a “Class A Share”) and $12.50 in cash without interest, or (2) one exchangeable share in Tronox Incorporated (an “Exchangeable Share”) (subject to certain limitation and proration discussed below), each of which is exchangeable into one Class A Share and $12.50 in cash without interest. The consideration to be received by holders of Tronox Incorporated common stock in the Mergers is referred to as the “Transaction Consideration”.

In the event that the shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock subject to the Exchangeable Share Election represent less than 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock outstanding on the record date of the special meeting, all Exchangeable Share Elections will be treated as Parent Share Elections and no Exchangeable Shares will be issued in the Mergers. In the event that the shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock subject to the Exchangeable Share Election represent more than 15.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock outstanding on the record date of the special meeting, the number of Exchangeable Shares subject to the Exchangeable Share Election will be subject to proration, meaning that holders making a an Exchangeable Share Election will receive a combination of Exchangeable Shares, Class A Shares and cash, with the total number of shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock that are exchanged for Exchangeable Shares representing 15.0% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock.

Enclosed is an Election Form and Letter of Transmittal and related documents. Please complete, sign and return the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal, with all of your Tronox Incorporated stock certificates or confirmation of book-entry transfer, as applicable, to the exchange agent for the mergers, Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

your stock certificates, confirmation of a book-entry transfer, or a properly completed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to the Exchange Agent. Do not send your stock certificates or any other documents to Tronox Incorporated or Tronox Limited.

The Election Form and Letter of Transmittal, together with either your (1) stock certificate(s) or confirmation of book-entry transfer, as applicable, or (2) Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, must be RECEIVED by the Exchange Agent no later than the election deadline, which will be 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the date that is three business days preceding the closing date of the Mergers (the “Election Deadline”).

If the stock certificate(s) are sent by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested and properly insured is suggested. A return envelope is enclosed.


6. New Certificate/Check Issued In the Same Name: If the stock certificate representing the Class A Shares or Exchangeable Shares to be issued, and/or the check for the cash payable, to the undersigned in the Mergers, as applicable, are to be issued in the same name as the surrendered stock certificate(s), the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal must be completed and signed exactly as the surrendered certificate is registered in Tronox Incorporated’s transfer records. Do not sign the certificate(s) surrendered herewith if (1) such certificate(s) are submitted by the registered owner of the shares represented by such certificate(s) who has not completed the section entitled “Special Issuance/Payment Instructions” or (2) such certificate(s) are submitted for the account of an Eligible Institution (as defined below). If any of the shares surrendered hereby are owned by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal exactly as written on the face of the certificate(s). If any shares are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Election Forms and Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations. Election forms and Letters of Transmittal executed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary capacity who are not identified as such on the applicable registration must be accompanied by proper evidence of the signing person’s authority to act.

7. Special Issuance/Payment Instructions: If checks and new certificates are to be made payable to or registered in other than the name(s) that appear(s) on the surrendered certificate(s), indicate the name(s) and address in this box. The stockholder(s) named will be considered the record owner(s) and must complete the section entitled “Signatures Required” and IRS Form W-9. If the section entitled “Special Issuance/Payment Instructions” is completed, then signatures on this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a firm that is a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents’ Medallion Program (each, an “Eligible Institution”). If the surrendered stock certificates are registered in the name of a person other than the person signing this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal, or if issuance is to be made to a person other than the person signing this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal or if the issuance is to be made to a person other than the registered owner(s), then the surrendered certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owners appear on such certificate(s) or stock power(s), with the signatures on the certificate(s) or stock power(s) guaranteed by an Eligible Institution as provided herein.

8. Special Delivery Instructions: If checks and new certificates are to be delivered to other than the name(s) that appear on the surrendered certificate(s) or to the registered holders of the existing certificates at an address other than that appearing on the “Election Form and Letter of Transmittal” indicate the name(s) and address in this box.

9. Form W-9: Under the Federal income tax law, a non-exempt stockholder is required to provide the Exchange Agent with such stockholder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9, a copy of which is enclosed. If needed, additional Forms W-9 may be obtained from the Exchange Agent or the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov. Failure to provide the information on the form may subject the surrendering stockholder to 28% federal income tax withholding on the payment of any consideration with respect to a Parent Share Election or upon a subsequent exchange of Exchangeable Shares for Class A Shares of Tronox Limited and cash. Exempt stockholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt stockholder should indicate their exempt status on Form W-9. In order for a nonresident alien or foreign entity to qualify as exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax and backup withholding, such person must submit an appropriate IRS Form W-8 signed under penalties of perjury attesting to such exempt status. Such form can be obtained from the Exchange Agent or the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov.

Tronox Incorporated stockholders will be deemed to have made a “PARENT SHARE ELECTION” if,

 

  A. This “Election Form and Letter of Transmittal” is completed incorrectly or they otherwise fail to make a valid election; or

 

  B. A completed “Election Form and Letter of Transmittal,” together with your Tronox Incorporated stock certificate(s) or confirmation of book-entry transfer, as applicable, is not actually received by the exchange agent for the merger, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Exchange Agent” or “Computershare”), by the Election Deadline.

If no option is chosen on the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal, a Tronox Incorporated stockholder will be deemed to have selected the “Parent Share Election” and transaction consideration will be paid under the terms of Option 1 above.

In the event that the shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock subject to the Exchangeable Share Election represent less than 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock outstanding on the record date of the special meeting, all Exchangeable Share Elections will be treated as Parent Share Elections and no Exchangeable Shares will be issued in the Mergers.
