Valhi, Inc.

(NYSE: NL) from Valhi, then the principal stockholder of Tremont. The defendants in the action include Valhi and the members of Tremont's board of directors. In March 1996, the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled in favor of the defendants after a trial on the merits. Valhi stated that it and the other defendants in the action will continue their vigorous defense of the suit. Valhi is engaged in the chemicals, component products and waste management industries. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
