Persons own.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 is amended and restated as follows:
(a) This Statement is filed (i) by Tremont Corporation ("Tremont") and
Valhi, Inc. ("Valhi") as the direct holders of Shares, (ii) by virtue of the
direct and indirect ownership of securities of Tremont or Valhi (as described

("Dixie Rice"), Southwest Louisiana Land Company, Inc. ("Southwest"), Contran

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.
Valhi and Tremont are the direct holders of approximately 62.7% and
21.3%, respectively, of the 48,067,084 Shares outstanding as of October 9, 2002
according to information provided by the Company (the "Outstanding Shares").
Together, Valhi and Tremont may be deemed to control the Company. TGI, the
Company and Valhi are the holders of approximately 80.0%, 0.1% and 0.1%,
respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock of Tremont and together
may be deemed to control Tremont. Valhi and the Company are the direct holders
of approximately 80.0% and 20.0%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock
of TGI. Together Valhi and the Company may be deemed to control TGI. VGI,

(the "CDCT No. 2") and the CMRT are the direct holders of approximately 80.6%,

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.

that the Trusts hold.

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

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.
Valmont Insurance Company ("Valmont") and a subsidiary of the Company
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 the
Company own as treasury stock for voting purposes and for the purposes of this
Statement 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 the Company 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.
