TO SCHEDULE 13D
This amended statement on Schedule 13D (collectively, this "Statement")
relates to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of
Titanium Metals Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Items 2, 3,
4 and 5 of this Statement are hereby amended as set forth below.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2(a) is amended as follows:
(a) This Statement is filed (i) by Tremont Corporation ("Tremont") and
The Combined Master Retirement Trust (the "CMRT") as the direct holders of
Shares, (ii) by virtue of the direct and indirect ownership of securities of
Tremont (as described below in this Statement), by Tremont Group, Inc. ("TGI"),
Tremont Holdings, LLC ("TRE Holdings"), NL Industries, Inc. ("NL"), Valhi, Inc.
("Valhi"), Valhi Group, Inc. ("VGI"), National City Lines, Inc. ("National"),
NOA, Inc. ("NOA"), Dixie Holding Company ("Dixie Holding"), Dixie Rice
Agricultural Corporation, Inc. ("Dixie Rice"), Southwest Louisiana Land Company,
Inc. ("Southwest"), Contran Corporation ("Contran") and the Harold Simmons
Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation") and (iii) by virtue of his positions with
Contran and certain of the other entities (as described in this Statement), by
Harold C. Simmons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). By signing this
Statement, each Reporting Person agrees that this Statement is filed on its or
his behalf.
Tremont and the CMRT are the direct holders of approximately 38.5% and
9.0%, respectively, of the 31,864,538 Shares outstanding as of August 12, 2002
based on the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June
30, 2002 (the "Outstanding Shares"). Tremont may be deemed to control the
Company.
TGI, TRE Holdings and Valhi are the direct holders of approximately
80.0%, 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Tremont common
stock and together may be deemed to control Tremont. Valhi and TRE Holdings are
the direct holders of 80.0% and 20.0%, respectively of the outstanding common
stock of TGI and together may be deemed to control TGI. NL is the sole member of
TRE Holdings and may be deemed to control TRE Holdings. Valhi and Tremont are
the direct holders of approximately 62.0% and 21.0%, respectively, of the
outstanding common stock of NL and together may be deemed to control NL. VGI,
National, Contran, the Foundation, the Contran Deferred Compensation Trust No. 2
(the "CDCT No. 2") and the CMRT are the direct holders of 80.6%, 9.5%, 2.1%,
1.4%, 0.4% and 0.1%, respectively, of the common stock of Valhi. Together, VGI,
National and Contran may be deemed to control Valhi. National, NOA and Dixie
Holding are the direct holders of approximately 73.3%, 11.4% and 15.3%,
respectively, of the outstanding common stock of VGI. Together, National, NOA
and Dixie Holding may be deemed to control VGI. Contran and NOA are the direct
holders of approximately 85.7% and 14.3%, respectively, of the outstanding

common stock of Dixie Holding and may be deemed to control Dixie Holding.
Contran is the holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dixie Rice and
may be deemed to control Dixie Rice. Contran is the holder of approximately
88.9% of the outstanding common stock of Southwest and may be deemed to control
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. 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 CMRT directly holds approximately 9.0% of the Outstanding Shares
and 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.
The Foundation directly holds approximately 1.4% 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 and chief
executive officer 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.
Valmont Insurance Company ("Valmont") and a subsidiary of NL directly
own 1,000,000 shares and 1,186,200 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock.
Valhi is the direct holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Valmont
and may be deemed to control Valmont. Pursuant to Delaware law, Valhi treats the
shares of Valhi common stock that Valmont 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 chairman of the board and chief executive
officer of TGI, VGI, National, NOA, Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest and
Contran. Mr. Simmons is also chairman of the board of NL and Valhi and a
director of Tremont.
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 Shares
directly held by certain of such other entities. However, Mr. Simmons disclaims
beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
by any of such entities.
Harold C. Simmons' spouse is the direct owner of 69,475 shares of NL
common stock. Mr. Simmons may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership
of such shares. Mr. Simmons disclaims all such beneficial ownership.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is amended as follows:
The total amount of funds the CMRT used to acquire the Shares purchased
by it as reported in Item 5(c) was $1,322,746.78 (including commissions). Such
funds were provided by the CMRT's cash on hand.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
No change to Item 4 except for the addition of the following:
The CMRT purchased Shares for investment purposes.
Depending upon their evaluation of the Company's business and
prospects, and upon future developments (including, but not limited to,
performance of the Shares in the market, availability of funds, alternative uses
of funds, the Reporting Persons' tax planning objectives and money, stock market
and general economic conditions), any of the Reporting Persons or other entities
or persons that may be deemed to be affiliated with Contran may from time to
time purchase Shares, and any of the Reporting Persons, or other entities or
persons that may be deemed to be affiliated with Contran may from time to time
dispose of all or a portion of the Shares held by such entity or person, or
cease buying or selling Shares. Any such additional purchases or sales of the
Shares may be in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
As described under Item 2, Harold C. Simmons, through Contran, may be
deemed to control the Company.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is amended as follows:
No change except for the addition of the following:
(a) Tremont and the CMRT are the direct beneficial owners of 12,280,005
and 2,865,200 Shares, respectively.
By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of this
Statement:
(1) Tremont, TGI, TRE Holdings, NL, Valhi, VGI, National, NOA,
Dixie Holding, Dixie Rice, Southwest, Contran and the Foundation may
each be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 12,280,005 Shares
(approximately 38.5% of the Outstanding Shares) that Tremont holds
