Industries, Inc. (“NL”), affiliates of the registrant, that he will also retire as an officer of those companies as of such date. Following such retirements, Mr. Swalwell will continue to be employed by Contran Corporation (“Contran”), the
privately-held parent corporation of the registrant, and will continue to serve as executive vice president, chief financial officer and chief accounting officer of Contran.
James W. Brown currently serves as the registrant’s vice president, chief financial officer and controller. Following such
retirement notices of Mr. Swalwell, the board of directors of each of Valhi and Kronos took action, also effective as of June 1, 2019, to elect Mr. Brown as senior vice president and chief financial officer of each of Valhi and Kronos. As a
result, Mr. Brown will no longer serve as an officer of the registrant effective June 1, 2019, and the registrant’s board of directors took action, also effective as of June 1, 2019, to:
|
·
|
elect Amy Allbach Samford, currently the vice president and controller of Valhi, NL and Contran, as the registrant’s vice president
and chief financial officer; and
|
|
·
|
elect Amy E. Ruf, currently the registrant’s assistant controller, as the registrant’s vice president and controller.

Ms. Samford, age 44, has served as vice president and controller of each of Valhi and NL since 2016 and of Contran since
2017. Beginning June 1, 2019, she will also serve as vice president and chief financial officer of NL, and will continue to serve as vice president and controller of Valhi and Contran. Ms. Samford has served in various accounting and financial
positions (including officer positions) in various companies related to us and Contran since 2006.
Ms. Ruf, age 42, has served in various accounting and financial positions in various companies related to us and Contran
since 2004.
Ms. Samford and Ms. Ruf are employees of Contran and will provide their services to the registrant under an intercorporate
services agreement between the registrant and Contran. For a description of the intercorporate services agreement, see “Certain Relationships and Transactions” in the registrant’s 2018 proxy statement, which description is incorporated herein by
