Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (KRO) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow KRO and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full KRO filings page.
Kronos Worldwide, Inc. is calling its 2026 annual stockholder meeting for May 13, 2026 in Dallas to elect eight directors and hold a nonbinding Say‑on‑Pay vote on executive compensation. Only holders of common stock at the March 17, 2026 record date may vote, with 115,053,116 shares outstanding.
Valhi and NLKW together own about 81.0% of the common stock and have indicated they will vote for all director nominees and for Say‑on‑Pay, effectively determining the outcomes and ensuring a quorum. Kronos is a NYSE “controlled company” and uses that status to forgo a separate nominating committee.
Executive officers, including CEO Brian W. Christian, are employed by Contran and provided under an intercorporate services agreement. In 2025 Kronos paid Contran about $25.8 million for these shared services, and the listed executive “salary” amounts (for example, $2,293,000 for former CEO James M. Buch in 2025) reflect Kronos’ allocated portion of Contran’s costs rather than direct payroll. Named executives receive no stock options or other equity awards, and there were no plan-based grants or option exercises in 2025. Non‑employee directors are paid cash retainers plus an annual stock grant worth about $20,000 and must maintain shareholdings equal to at least three times the base cash retainer.
