Pursuant to Delaware law, Valhi treats the shares of Valhi common stock that NL 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 vice chairman of the board of TIMET, chairman of the board of CGI, Tremont, Valhi, VGI, National, NOA, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest and Contran and chairman of the board and chief executive officer of NL.

       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 the shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock that are directly held by CGI or TFMC.
