Exhibit 99 Additional Information
Exhibit 99 Additional Information
Valhi Group, Inc. (“VGI”), National City Lines, Inc.
(“National”), Contran Corporation (“Contran”), the
Harold Simmons Foundation, Inc. (the “Foundation”), the Contran
Deferred Compensation Trust No. 2 (the “CDCT No. 2”) and The Combined
Master Retirement Trust (the “CMRT”) are the direct holders of
approximately 77.6%, 9.1%, 3.6%, 0.9%, 0.4% and 0.1%, respectively, of the
outstanding common stock of Valhi, Inc. (“Valhi”). National, NOA, Inc.
(“NOA”) and Dixie Holding Company (“Dixie Holding”) are the
direct holders of approximately 73.3%, 11.4% and 15.3%, respectively, of the
outstanding common stock of VGI. Contran and NOA are the direct holders of
approximately 85.7% and 14.3%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of
National. Contran and Southwest Louisiana Land Company, Inc.
(“Southwest”) are the direct holders of approximately 49.9% and 50.1%,
respectively, of the outstanding common stock of NOA. Dixie Rice Agricultural
Corporation, Inc. (“Dixie Rice”) is the direct holder of 100% of the
outstanding common stock of Dixie Holding. Contran is the holder of 100% of the
outstanding common stock of Dixie Rice and approximately 88.9% of the
outstanding common stock of Southwest.
Substantially all of Contran’s outstanding voting stock is held by
trusts established for the benefit of certain children and grandchildren of
Harold C. Simmons (the “Trusts”), of which Mr. Simmons is the sole
trustee, or is held by Mr. Simmons or persons or other entities related to Mr.
Simmons. As sole trustee of each of the Trusts, Mr. Simmons has the power to
vote and direct the disposition of the shares of Contran stock held by each of
the Trusts. Mr. Simmons, however, disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares
of Contran stock that the Trusts hold.
The Foundation directly holds approximately 0.9% of the outstanding
Valhi common stock. The Foundation is a tax-exempt foundation organized for
charitable purposes. Harold C. Simmons is the chairman of the board of the
Foundation and may be deemed to control the Foundation.
The CDCT No. 2 directly holds approximately 0.4% of the outstanding
Valhi common stock. U.S. Bank National Association serves as the trustee of the
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 the CDCT No. 2, (ii) retains dispositive power over such shares
and (iii) may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such shares.
The CMRT directly holds approximately 0.1% of the outstanding shares of
Valhi common stock. Valhi established the CMRT as a trust to permit the
collective investment by master trusts that maintain the assets of certain
employee benefit plans Valhi and related companies adopt. Mr. Simmons is the
sole trustee of the CMRT and a member of the trust investment committee for the
CMRT. Mr. Simmons is a participant in one or more of the employee benefit plans
that invest through the CMRT.
Mr. Harold C. Simmons is chairman of the board of Valhi, VGI,
National, NOA, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest and Contran.
By virtue of the offices held, the stock ownership and his services as
trustee, all as described above, (a) Mr. Simmons may be deemed to control
certain of such entities and (b) Mr. Simmons and certain of such entities may be
deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of, and a pecuniary interest in,
shares of common stock directly held by certain of such other entities. However,
Mr. Simmons disclaims such beneficial ownership of, and such pecuniary interest
in, such shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any of such
entities, except to the extent of his interest as a beneficiary of the CDCT No.
2 and his vested beneficial interest, if any, in the shares of Valhi common
stock the CMRT holds directly.
The reporting person understands that NL Industries, Inc.
(“NL”) and a subsidiary of NL directly own 3,522,967 shares and
1,186,200 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock as of the date of this
statement. Valhi is the direct holder of approximately 83.3% of the outstanding
common stock of NL. As a result of Valhi’s direct and indirect ownership of
NL and its subsidiary, the reporting person further understands that, pursuant
to Delaware law, Valhi treats the shares of Valhi common stock that NL and its
subsidiary own as treasury stock for voting purposes. For the purposes of this
statement, such shares of Valhi common stock that NL and its subsidiary hold
directly are not deemed outstanding.
A trust, of which Harold C. Simmons and his spouse are trustees and the
beneficiaries are the grandchildren of his spouse, is the direct holder of
40,000 shares of the issuer's common stock. Mr. Simmons, as co-trustee of this
trust, has the power to vote and direct the disposition of the shares of the
issuer's common stock the trust holds. Mr. Simmons disclaims beneficial
ownership of any shares of the issuer's common stock that this trust holds.
