AMENDMENT NO. 19
TO SCHEDULE 13D
This amended statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the
common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Shares"), of Tremont Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Items 4 and 7 of this Statement are
hereby amended as set forth below.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is amended as follows.
On September 19, 2001, Valhi, Inc., a Delaware corporation of which the
Company is a majority owned subsidiary ("Valhi"), sent a letter to the Company
and Titanium Metals Corporation, a Delaware corporation that is a 39% owned
subsidiary of the Company ("TIMET"), proposing (the "Proposal") to sell each of
Valhi's and the Company's shares of common stock of NL Industries, Inc., a New
Jersey corporation that is a majority owned subsidiary of Valhi, to TIMET for
shares of TIMET common stock and TIMET debt securities on terms to be
appropriately determined. A copy of the September 19, 2001 letter is attached
hereto as Exhibit 10 and incorporated herein by reference. On September 21,
2001, Valhi issued a press release stating that Valhi would not approve any
transaction that may be negotiated with an independent committee of TIMET's
board of directors and its advisors without the affirmative vote of a majority
of the TIMET shares voting that are held by persons other than Valhi, the
Company and their affiliates. On September 27, 2001, Valhi sent a letter to the
Company and TIMET withdrawing the Proposal. A copy of the September 27, 2001
letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 11 and incorporated herein by reference.
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
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 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 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.
