Substantially all of Contran's outstanding voting stock is held by

The CDCT No. 2 directly holds approximately 0.4% of the outstanding

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

deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such shares.

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,

in the Shares held by the CMRT.
