Valhi – Contran credit facility – During the first six months of 2025, we had no borrowings and repaid $11.5 million under this facility. The average interest rate on the credit facility for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 8.50%. At June 30, 2025, the interest rate was 8.50%, and $116.9 million was available for borrowing under this facility.

Kronos 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2029  At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of the 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (€351.174 million aggregate principal amount outstanding) is $410.7 million and is stated net of $5.2 million of unamortized premium and $6.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. In the first quarter of 2024 Kronos recognized a non-cash pre-tax interest charge of $1.5 million included in interest expense related to the write-off of deferred financing costs.

3.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025  At June 30, 2025, the carrying value of the 3.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (€75 million aggregate principal amount outstanding) is $87.9 million.

Revolving credit facility (the “Global Revolver”) – Effective July 17, 2025, Kronos completed an amendment to its Global Revolver (the “Fourth Amendment”). Among other things, the Fourth Amendment increased the maximum borrowing amount from

$300 million to $350 million and increased the Belgian and German sub-limits from €30 million and €60 million to €55 million and €85 million, respectively, allowing greater access to Euro denominated borrowings. The maturity date of the Global Revolver remains July 2029. After taking into consideration the effects of the Fourth Amendment, Kronos’ total availability for borrowing has increased by approximately $50 million. During the first six months of 2025, Kronos borrowed $314.1 million and repaid $287.1 million under this facility. The average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under this facility for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 5.9%. At June 30, 2025, $37.0 million was outstanding under the Global Revolver and the average interest rate was 5.8%. As defined in the agreement and as calculated for the period ended June 30, 2025, the borrowing base exceeded $350 million. At June 30, 2025, Kronos had total availability for borrowing of approximately $300 million less any amounts outstanding under this facility.
