Item 8.01 Other Events

With respect to a waiver granted on April 29, 2009 by a majority of the lenders participating in a revolving credit facility of which certain subsidiaries of Kronos International, Inc ("KII") are borrowers (the "Borrowers"), the registrant hereby incorporates by reference the information set forth under Item 8.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K that KII (Commission File No. 333-100047) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 4, 2009.

KII is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kronos Worldwide, Inc. ("Kronos Worldwide"). The registrant directly owns 36.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Kronos Worldwide, and accounts for its investment in Kronos Worldwide by the equity method of accounting.

The incorporated information includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statement incorporated into this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. Although the registrant believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot give assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results. It is not possible to identify all of the risks and uncertainties the registrant or KII face that could cause actual results to differ materially from those incorporated into this report. These risks and uncertainties include without limitation, the future conditions in the credit markets, the results of negotiations with the lenders participating in the credit facility of which certain of KII's subsidiaries are borrowers, the future liquidity of KII and its affiliates and the significant risk factors set forth in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 that the registrant filed with the SEC effective March 12, 2009. Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those expected. The registrant disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of changes in information, future events or otherwise.
