Explanatory Note:

On April 11, 2019, Tronox Holdings plc , a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Tronox”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Acquisition 8-K”) announcing that the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) 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”), was completed on April 10, 2019, subject to the divestiture of Cristal’s North American TiO₂ business to INEOS Enterprises, a division of INEOS, which was subsequently completed on May 1, 2019. Consummation of the required divestiture was reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 2, 2019. The Acquisition, together with the related divestiture, is referred to herein as the “Acquisition Transactions.”

On May 7, 2019, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the Acquisition 8-K containing the required pro forma financial information relating to the Acquisition Transactions and the audited consolidated financial statements of Cristal as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

This Amendment No. 2 to the Acquisition 8-K (the “Acquisition 8-K, as amended”) is for the purpose of filing the required financial statements of Cristal as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. With this Amendment, the Acquisition 8-K, as amended, has been filed within the period required by Form 8-K following the closing of the Acquisition. Cristal’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 were reported as a part of a consolidated set of financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, which as referenced in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, appear on pages F-2 to F-3 and F-8 to F-52 of Tronox’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on August 31, 2017, and are incorporated by reference herein.
