Dear Fellow Shareholder:
On behalf of Tronox’s entire Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Tronox Holdings plc (“Tronox” or the Company”) in London, England.
From the perspective of myself and the entire Board, our primary focus during 2025 was severalfold:
Continuing to navigate an unprecedented industry downturn caused by prolonged weakness in demand for our principal products — titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zircon — coupled with excess supply caused primarily by Chinese dumping of TiO2 in every jurisdiction other than the United States.
Ensuring the Company has a disciplined cost management approach. Our efforts resulted in meaningfully reduced 2025 capital expenditures and the implementation of a sustainable cost improvement plan that delivered over $90 million in annualized savings by year end 2025 and is expected to deliver annualized savings of $125-$175 million by the end of 2026.
Prudently investing in our mineral sands portfolio which resulted in the completion of two major South African mining projects that we believe will deliver years of high-value minerals.
Advancing our rare-earth strategy as the Board believes the Company is uniquely positioned to play a significant role across the rare earth value chain.
Shareholders will have an opportunity to express their support for the Board and our executive leadership team at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Tronox Holdings plc, which will be held at 10:00 a.m. BST on April 28, 2026.
We encourage you to read the Proxy Statement which describes the matters to be voted on at the meeting. Shareholders may vote via the Internet, by telephone or by completing and returning a proxy card. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR all the proposals set forth in the accompanying notice of meeting and Proxy Statement.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we want to thank you for your continued support of Tronox.
Sincerely,


Ilan Kaufthal
Chair of the Board

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROXY SUMMARY
Throughout 2025 we continued to experience an extremely challenging operating environment as end-market demand for TiO2 and zircon did not recover to the levels initially anticipated at the beginning of the year. Compounding the weak demand environment, Chinese TiO2 continued to be dumped in key markets around the world despite the imposition of antidumping duties in the European Union, Brazil, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and India. Notwithstanding these challenges, Tronox continued to make progress on key strategic initiatives, including prudently investing capital to maintain our mineral resource base as well as advancing our rare earth strategy.
2025 Highlights
Strengthening Vertical Integration and Prudent Capital Discipline
Throughout 2025, the Company reinforced its commitment to sustaining and enhancing its vertical integration competitive advantage. Key milestones were the successful commissioning of the Fairbreeze extension and the completion of construction of Namakwa East OFS which is currently in the process of being commissioned – two major mining projects in South Africa which replace existing mines approaching end of life. These new sites are expected to provide abundant reserves of natural rutile and zircon, along with high-grade ilmenite suitable for direct use or slag processing, ensuring a secure and cost-effective feedstock supply for years to come. These strategic investments are projected to deliver returns above the Company’s cost of capital, underscoring our disciplined approach to capital allocation. At the same time, we remained focused on disciplined capital management by prudently reducing overall capital expenditures while prioritizing essential investments to maintain safe and reliable operations across all sites. We believe this balanced strategy positions the Company to preserve financial strength, support long-term growth, and maximize shareholder value while navigating near-term market challenges.
Sustainable Cost Improvement Plan
In 2025, management launched a comprehensive Sustainable Cost Improvement Program designed to enhance cost efficiency and optimize asset performance across all aspects of our business. This initiative delivered over $90 million in annualized savings by year-end 2025 and is projected to achieve $125–$175 million in annualized savings by the end of 2026. The program focuses on four key pillars: Operational Excellence, Technology Enablement, Supply Chain Optimization and SG&A Alignment. We believe this strategic approach will position us to sustain long-term value creation while maintaining operational resilience.
Strengthening our Balance Sheet and Liquidity Position
In 2025, we remained focused on the Company’s financial strength and liquidity position. We took decisive actions to bolster liquidity and preserve flexibility. Key achievements included the successful execution of a $400 million senior secured bond offering which enhanced balance sheet resilience. In addition, we reduced the quarterly dividend by 60% to provide near-term balance sheet flexibility. At the same time, throughout 2025, we implemented targeted operational measures to manage near-term cash flow, including: shutting down the Botlek pigment plant in the Netherlands, idling the Fuzhou pigment plant in China and idling one furnace at the Namakwa smelter. We believe these actions reflect our commitment to prudent cash preservation, operational safety, and long-term value creation, even in a challenging market environment.
Rare Earth Initiatives
2025 saw the Company advance its rare earth strategy which we believe we are uniquely positioned to benefit as the world focuses on diversifying supply away from China. In October 2025, we took an approximate 5% equity interest in Lion Rock Minerals (ASX:LRM) (“LRM”), a mineral exploration company whose Minta and Minta Est deposits have the potential to be a major source of high quality monazite and rutile. In addition, in December 2025, we received coordinated, non-binding and conditional Letters of Support / Interest from Export Finance Australia and Export-Import Bank of the United States, respectively, for up to US$600 million, in limited or non-recourse financing to support the development of Tronox’s rare earth supply chain.

PROXY SUMMARY
What We Do and How We Do It
We are the world’s leading integrated manufacturer of TiO2 pigment. We operate titanium-bearing mineral sand mines and beneficiation and smelting operations in Australia and South Africa to produce feedstock materials that can be processed into TiO2 for pigment, high purity titanium chemicals, including titanium tetrachloride, and ultrafine TiO2 used in certain specialty applications. Our strategy is to be vertically integrated and produce enough feedstock material so as to be as self-sufficient as possible in the production of TiO2 at our 7 pigment facilities located in the United States, Australia, Brazil, UK, France, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We believe that vertical integration is the best way to achieve our ultimate goal of delivering low cost, high-quality pigment to our approximately 1,200 TiO2 customers throughout the world. The mining, beneficiation and smelting of titanium bearing mineral sands also creates meaningful quantities of co-products including zircon, pig iron and the rare-earth bearing mineral, monazite, which we also supply to customers around the world.
The following chart highlights our fully integrated business across the TiO2 value chain.

Shareholder Engagement
At our most recent annual meeting of shareholders held on May 7, 2025, our Say-on-Pay advisory vote passed with the affirmative vote of approximately 97% of the votes cast and our Say-on-Pay advisory vote has passed with the affirmative vote of at least 96% for each of the last 7 years. We believe the positive 2025 Say-on-Pay advisory vote continued to reflect the focus and commitment by the Board and the Company’s Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “HRCC”) to align our compensation program with the interests of our stakeholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROXY SUMMARY
During the past year and into 2026, we continued our practice of active engagement with shareholders on many levels. These interactions were aimed at providing insight and transparency into our financial results, operations and long-term strategy.
In terms of shareholder engagement specifically related to compensation, governance and sustainability, we invited our top shareholders to meet telephonically with our Board Chair and members of management in late 2025 and early 2026. Two shareholders representing approximately 3% of our outstanding ordinary shares responded to our invitation and met with the Company. At those meetings, shareholders continued to express strong support for our governance and executive compensation practices. Shareholders were particularly complimentary that our long-term incentive program and annual incentive plan metrics are aligned with shareholder interests.
Corporate Governance Highlights
The Board is committed to continually improving its corporate governance processes, practices and procedures. Our governance policies and structures are designed to promote the Board’s thoughtful oversight of Tronox’s business decisions and ensure intelligent risk-taking, with the goal of furthering our long-term strategic goal of being the world’s most vertically integrated and lowest cost producer of TiO2 as well as becoming a sustainable mining and materials company.
Highlights include:

A diverse Board with the appropriate mix of skills, experience and perspective. Assuming all director nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, ~12% will be women, including the chair of our Audit Committee, ~50% will be non-U.S. citizens;

Assuming all director nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, ~20% of the independent directors will be gender diverse;

Separation of Board Chair and CEO roles enables our CEO to focus on managing the Company while our independent Board Chair takes a more active role in oversight of management and the Company’s overall corporate governance;

Enhanced oversight of ESG at the Board level through the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee. Management is required to regularly report to the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee on key ESG initiatives;

Sustainability disclosures align with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Framework For Sustainability Reporting, while our climate-related disclosures are aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD);

Assuming all director nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, five of our eight Directors will be independent under NYSE listing standards, with the non-independent Directors consisting of John Romano, our CEO, Jean-Francois Turgeon, our former Co-CEO who is considered non-independent, and Moazzam Khan, the one member appointed by Cristal Netherlands, our largest shareholder;

Directors are elected annually under a majority voting standard;

All Board Committees are fully independent;

Policy limiting the number of public company boards on which Directors may serve;

Minimum share ownership requirements for Directors and executive officers;

Anti-Hedging of Company Securities Policy; and

Adoption of Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy.

PROXY SUMMARY
Executive Compensation Program Highlights
Our executive compensation program is designed to incentivize and motivate our executive officers to manage our business well over the long-term, to drive performance improvements, and to increase shareholder value. The incentive compensation elements of our program are designed to closely align the financial interests of our executive with those of our shareholders. Highlights include:

In 2026, similar to 2025, we will include a reduction in our carbon emissions, measured as tons of CO2 emissions per ton of production, as one of the metrics used to determine the cash bonus payable to our executives. Of the 80% of our NEOs’ target cash bonus that is tied to overall Tronox performance, 20% is linked to ESG metrics - 15% to safety and 5% to carbon emission reduction;

In response to shareholder feedback, similar to 2025, 50% of the long-term incentive program equity grants only vest if the Company achieves pre-determined performance metrics (i.e., TSR, ROIC) aligned with shareholder interests;

Emphasis on performance-based compensation: in 2025, 86% of our CEO target compensation and average of 70% of our other current NEOs’ target compensation is “at-risk”;

Use of metrics in the annual incentive compensation plans for the CEO and other NEOs which are expected to drive long-term shareholder value;

Minimum share ownership requirements for the CEO (5x base salary) and other NEOs, (3x base salary) which reinforce our focus on shareholder alignment;

No excise tax gross-up provisions in any change-in-control provisions;

No re-pricing of stock options without shareholder approval;

No cash buyout of underwater options;

Annual review of executive compensation design, market competitiveness, and best practices; and

Retention of an independent compensation consultant to provide guidance and support to the HRCC.

SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Sustainability has always been a part of how we do business at Tronox. As a sustainable mining and chemical company, our operations connect us closely to the land, the environment and the communities in which we operate. We believe operating as a vertically integrated mining and chemicals enterprise gives us greater control over our supply chain and provides a competitive advantage as our end customers are increasingly focused on sustainability of their suppliers, particularly when it comes to Scope 3 emissions.
We believe in taking accountability for the economic, environmental and social consequences of our activities. Our goal is to minimize the unintended consequences of our actions while becoming a more efficient business that creates long-term value. The table below sets forth our goals and aspirations in 4 key areas related to sustainability.


2025 Accomplishments
Carbon Emission Reductions
Our detailed and actionable roadmap for reducing carbon emissions in the short-, medium- and long-term demonstrates Tronox’s commitment to mitigating the impact of climate change. Our roadmap covers 100% of our operations and is based on a thorough analysis of our carbon footprint and step-by-step plans to reduce it. The roadmap is not just a paper exercise, but is supported by well-resourced projects and initiatives. The majority of our GHG emissions are generated from our TiO2 slag furnaces in South Africa, synthetic rutile kiln in Western Australia, and TiO2 pigment plants in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Australia, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
We are proud that we achieved our previously announced target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission intensity 25% by the end of 2025, with total reduction of 27%, against a 2019 baseline. In addition, we are continuing to actively progress GHG reduction plans to enable us to achieve our target of a 50% reduction by the end of 2030 also against a 2019 baseline. During 2025, we were able to realize the full benefits of the 200 MW solar energy project in South Africa which contributed to approximately 40% of our South African electricity needs. Not only is the project one of South Africa’s largest renewable power projects which will help address the country’s chronic electricity shortage, but it also reducing Tronox’s global Scope 1 and 2 emissions by approximately 13%. Management regards this as a substantial achievement. In addition, in June 2024, we announced a second large-scale renewable energy project in South Africa that is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2027. Upon completion of such project, the Company expects that approximately 70% of its South African needs will be satisfied by renewable energy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Furthermore, during the third quarter of 2025, we started to receive power from the new 26 MW hybrid renewable power system for our Atlas mine site in New South Wales, Australia. This power system provides up to 40% renewable energy to the mine site’s power supply which will reduce our annual carbon emissions by approximately 13,000 tonnes and diesel usage by nearly five million liters per year.
We believe the Company’s determination to bring on-stream these significant renewable energy projects are just a few examples of how Tronox is committed to being a leader when it comes to corporate sustainability and protection of the environment.
In another example of our leadership in sustainability, in 2023 we publicly announced targets to reduce upstream Scope 3 carbon emission intensity by 9% by 2025 and 16% by 2030, each against our 2021 baseline. We achieved our 2025 target by reducing Sope 3 carbon emission intensity by 17%.
Key Highlights of Tronox’s Roadmap for CO2 Emission Reduction


Established a GHG and energy reduction project portfolio for our entire business.
Achieved 40% renewable electricity for our South African operations through a 200MW solar project which globally increased our share of renewables from purchased electricity globally to over 27%.
Announced a second large renewable energy project in South Africa with the objective of increasing renewable energy usage in our South African operations to 70% by the end of 2027
Commencing in the third quarter 2025, began drawing on a 26 MW power purchase agreement for our Atlas mine in Australia to provide up to 40% renewable energy for the site.
Completed a pre-feasibility study exploring the viability of green steam at our Kwinana pigment plant.
Commenced a definitive feasibility study relating to the generation of renewable energy for our mining and pigment operations in Western Australia.

PERIOD
HOW WE’LL DO IT
TARGET
2030
The 2030 target is premised on the conversion of electricity supply in substantially all of the jurisdictions in which we operate to renewable energy sources. We also intend to commence conversion of some of our natural gas-fired industrial boilers at our TiO2 facilities to green electricity or bio-sources.
50% (1)
2050
Achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is dependent on a range of initiatives. First and foremost, we will need to eliminate the use of fossil-based reductants (e.g., coal, coke and anthracite) in our ilmenite beneficiation operations and pigment production. All of our purchased power will need to be generated by renewable sources. We will also need to electrify our mining and earthmoving equipment which currently runs on diesel, or switch to bio-alternatives. Further, carbon capture will be explored where we believe it is technically and economically feasible. Though we are not relying on purchasing third-party carbon off-set credits, we may need to consider this as a last resort if feasible technologies are not available for “hard-to-abate” carbon sources.

Projects in the pipeline to achieve our greenhouse gas emissions reduction roadmap will, however, depend on partners and third parties in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and therefore, are subject to adjustments based on delays outside of our control.
Other Highlights
Achieved our 2025 target of reducing waste sent to external landfills by 38% on an absolute basis versus the 2019 baseline. The reduction was mainly due to acid recycling and reuse efforts at our sulfate plants, together with polyferric sulfate (PFS) production from waste acid in Fuzhou, China in addition to the spadable mud project at our Bunbury pigment plant in Australia where a reduction of over 50,000 tons of waste was realized in 2025. The reduction in waste at our Bunbury pigment plant is expected to be over 100,000 tons when all waste from the pigment plant is diverted from an external dedicated landfill to the Cooljarloo mine.
At our Yanbu chloride pigment plant in Saudi Arabia and sulfate pigment plant in Bahia, Brazil, we progressed solid waste beneficial re-use projects working closely with third party partners.
Worked with a number of our largest pigment customers to help them reduce their Scope 3 emissions by providing more information and transparency on the carbon content of our pigment products.
In 2025, our water withdrawal intensity was reduced by 30% as compared to 2024 mainly due to the closure of the Botlek plant.
During 2024, we entered into a strategic relationship with an external consultancy group to assist us in water and risk management and also help us develop context based water targets. In 2025, we utilized the same consultancy group to further develop water governance practices and update the water risk assessments for all our sites.
Conducted a 3rd party verification audit against the Global International Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) for our high and medium classification tailings storage facilities and established an internal steering committee. In 2025, we continued to address and close gaps to ensure compliance with the standard. We expect to achieve compliance in the first half of 2026.
Life Cycle Assessment updated for all our products and sites.

SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Addressing Climate Change and the Environment Through Product Innovation
Our business development and new product initiatives are supporting the global fight against climate change and improving the environment in numerous ways.
Rare Earth Minerals. Our mines produce significant quantities of a mineral co-product, monazite, which is rich in various rare earth-bearing minerals needed to produce powerful permanent magnets required in the manufacture of the latest generation of electric motors and wind turbines, to name the two most prominent applications. We are significantly increasing our focus on recovering and processing monazite from both our ongoing production and tailing piles with a goal of becoming one of the world’s significant suppliers of rare earth oxides to alloy and metallization customers.
Catalysts for NOx Emissions Control. Tronox has developed innovative Titania-based catalysts essential for the global automotive industry to comply with stricter regulations and for the power generation sector, particularly in supporting AI deployment.
Lithium Direct Extraction (DLE). Tronox is working with a French business partner to scale up the titanium-based product for extracting lithium from various brines. This technology will ensure more environmentally friendly lithium production and support the battery industry supply chain in the European Union and globally.
Safety and Emission Targets and Goals Included in the Annual Incentive Program
As further described in the CD&A section included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the Annual Incentive Program (AIP) includes two safety and sustainability-related metrics. Of the 80% of our NEOs’ target cash bonus that is tied to overall Tronox performance, 20% is linked to ESG metrics – 15% to safety and 5% to carbon emission reduction. The AIP is the annual broad-based cashed incentive program in which all salaried employees participate. The carbon-related targets are described above.
Safety Component of AIP
The Board has historically believed that the two key metrics for measuring our overall safety performance for purposes of the AIP should be Disabling Injury Frequency Rate (DIFR) and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR), each of which are measured per 200,000 work hours (employees plus contractors).
In 2025 we exceeded both the TRIFR and DIFR safety targets setting new Tronox records for both. We are very proud that our employees and contractors remained dedicated to working in a safe manner.

SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Emission Reduction Component of AIP
We measure carbon intensity of TiO2 (CO2 per ton of TiO2) for Scope 1 (direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by us) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy). We believe using pro forma 2019 as the baseline is appropriate as it is our most reliable carbon intensity data due to the closing of the Cristal acquisition in April 2019.
In 2025, we reduced our GHG emission intensity by 27% versus our 25% target which was primarily the result of realizing the full benefits of the 200 MW solar energy project in South Africa.
2025 EMISSION REDUCTION TARGETS
2025 ACTUAL EMISSION REDUCTION PERFORMANCE
1.260 tCO2e/t product (represents a 25%
reduction against the 2019 baseline)
1.229 tCO2e/t product (represents a 27% reduction against the 2019 baseline)
For 2026, the HRCC again approved an emission reduction target. The Company is in the process of establishing a new baseline as a result of the closure of our Botlek and Fuzhou TiO2 pigment plants. The 2026 emission reduction target has been impacted by the decision to reduce production at the Company’s mining assets.
Culture and Workforce
Tronox employs approximately 5,700 people across six continents. The rich diversity and exceptional operational and technical expertise of our employees is one of our key competitive advantages.

Each of the nominees, other than Mr. Khan, have been nominated by the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee in accordance with our Articles of Association. Each of the nominees must be elected by a majority of votes cast in favor of the proposal at the Annual Meeting to hold office until their successors are duly named and approved at the next annual general meeting of the Company. Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR these nominees by shareholders. Shares represented by proxy will be voted FOR the nominees unless you specify otherwise in your voting instructions.
We expect each nominee for election as a Director to be able to serve if elected. Separate resolutions for the election of each nominee will be submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting.
Cristal Nominees. Upon closing of the Cristal transaction, Cristal Netherlands, which is under the control of a Saudi Arabian publicly listed company, Tasnee, became our largest single shareholder. Pursuant to the terms of a shareholders agreement with Cristal Netherlands and Cristal which was signed in April 2019, Cristal Netherlands has the right to nominate two of our directors. Similar to last year, Cristal Netherlands has again nominated Mr. Moazzam Khan to stand for re-election, but has currently decided not to nominate another Board member to which it is entitled. Mr. Khan brings a wealth of business experience in the TiO2 and chemical industries and will be of invaluable assistance in managing our operations in Saudi Arabia. Due to Mr. Khan’s lack of independence under NYSE listing standards, he will not serve on any of our committees.
In addition, upon consummation of the Cristal transaction, the Board appointed Dr. Talal Al-Shair as director emeritus for the purpose of providing such consulting and advisory service to the Board as the Board shall request from time to time. Dr. Talal is the founder of Cristal, was formerly on the Board of Tasnee, and has extensive experience and knowledge regarding Cristal and industry-related matters.

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Board Diversity and Qualifications
Our Board consists of world-class directors with the diversity of skills, experience, ethnicity, and gender necessary to provide exceptional leadership for Tronox. The selection criteria for our directors includes, among other things:
high professional and personal ethics and values consistent with our long-standing values and standards;
sufficient time to devote to the Board and our Company; and
diversity of ethnicity, gender, background, geographic location and experience including: senior leadership and operating experience in a publicly-listed company; board experience in a publicly-listed company; financial, industrial/mining and/or international expertise.
We continually assess whether our Board maintains the right balance of skills, experience, diversity and business acumen required for exceptional leadership. The Board believes it brings a diverse set of backgrounds, skills, and experiences to Tronox to provide effective oversight of management and drive Tronox’s strategy forward. Our Board represents a balance of longer-tenured members with in-depth knowledge of our business and newer members who bring valuable additional attributes, skills and experience.
Gender Diversity
The Board is committed to having a Board that is gender diverse. As such, in 2024 and 2025, respectively, the Board appointed two new directors – Lucrece Foufopoulos-De Ridder and Julie Beck, and immediately following the Company’s 2025 AGM, ~40% of the independent directors were gender diverse, with ~30% of the total Board represented by women. However, in September 2025, Ms. Beck resigned from the Board due to her appointment as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of MSA Safety Incorporated (NYSE:MSA) and the time commitments which such position will require. Moreover, in February 2026, we announced that Mrs. Lucrece Foufopoulos-De Ridder had informed the Board that she would not be seeking re-election at the 2026 AGM. Mrs. Foufopoulos De-Ridder’s decision not to seek re-election was due to the time commitments associated with the other public company boards on which she is a director. As such, assuming all the director nominees are elected at this Annual Meeting, ~20% of the independent directors will be gender diverse, with ~12% of the total Board represented by women, including the Chair of the Audit Committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight, Our Board Structure and Other Governance Matters
Tronox’s Board as a whole takes a uniquely active, hands-on role in the risk oversight function. The Board sees its primary functions as setting the right “tone at the top” and promoting strong governance at every level of the enterprise. Management control is the first line of defense to identify and mitigate not only commercial and financial risks but the wide range of environmental and sustainability risks that can derail a company like Tronox.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
Board-level oversight
Our entire Board is actively engaged in the ERM process and views it as an important component of its risk oversight responsibilities. Feedback from our directors is used to help identify key risks and improve the effectiveness of the mitigation activities. After the ERM process is complete, the Vice President, Internal Audit and other key “risk owners” presents the results of the analysis to the full Board typically at its February meeting. A more in-depth discussion on key risks is led by the key “risk owner” as part of the Board’s ERM discussion. Frequently, these reviews lead to requests for additional work and analysis on sub-components of each risk.
Management-level oversight
At the management level, Tronox has formed a Global Risk Committee (GRC), comprising senior leaders from around the globe representing all functions and business units, which is charged with assisting Tronox’s Board to identify significant enterprise risks, assess its risk mitigation strategies and, where appropriate, help implement those strategies, and review and suggest specific risk tolerances and risk appetite. The GRC meets at least annually to review the scope and appropriateness of the ERM plan, taking into consideration any changes since the prior year ERM process, including changes in Tronox’s scope of business activities, events in the prior year suggesting lapses in the prior year’s ERM process, geopolitical events, and evolving stakeholder expectations. In addition, the GRC reviews the results of any specific risk mitigation activities that resulted from the prior year’s ERM process and the implementation of any specific risk tolerances or “risk appetite” adopted.
Oversight of ESG
Our sustainability-related governance structure starts at the highest level of the enterprise: a dedicated committee of the Board of Directors called, “The Governance and Sustainability Committee,” comprised of independent members of the Board of Directors, including the Company’s non-executive chair who is also the chair of the committee. Management briefs the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee quarterly on ESG topics covering risks and opportunities, impacts, and strategies. With the ever-growing importance of the “social” aspect within ESG, our Board and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee play important roles in overseeing critical topics such as gender and diversity metrics. Underneath the Board is a governance structure comprised of multiple layers, starting with Tronox’s senior executives and cascading down to each local site. Climate change is a core focus: reducing emissions, mitigating risk and optimizing opportunities. The governance structure includes processes and initiatives to align the activities of the cross-enterprise global functions with individual sites and regions to effectively implement the sustainability and climate change-related strategies.

ESG oversight by Management
The Company has established a Global Sustainability Council that meets on a periodic basis and which is comprised of senior leaders from Tronox’s key functional groups to drive progress on our various sustainability initiatives and support the Board to make informed decisions on sustainability strategy. The Sustainability Council also ensures implementation of the Company’s ESG strategy across all the Company’s relevant regions and groups. During 2025, the primary focus of the Global Sustainability Council was to ensure that management understood the wide range of new and enhanced ESG legislation promulgated by various governmental authorities around the world which may be applicable to Tronox as well as putting in place the resources, policies and practices to comply with such legislation.
In addition, the Company has formed regional GHG leadership teams that meet monthly to, among other things, develop GHG regional roadmaps and integrate such roadmaps into the relevant region’s business planning. Furthermore, we have established internal Centers of Excellence focused on carbon neutrality,

Our dedicated team of cybersecurity specialists has implemented a robust program designed to detect, prevent and respond to threats and malicious activity. We also maintain a Security Operations Center (SOC) that provides a mechanism for addressing cyberthreats before they compromise data security. Through a combination of a threat management platform and our dedicated team of cybersecurity specialists, our SOC continuously monitors and proactively isolates and analyzes cybersecurity alerts to enable rapid mitigation of cybersecurity risks and events. Through company-wide policies, mandatory training and end-user testing, we train our employees to recognize threats and report (and when appropriate, escalate) them quickly. We have developed an incident response plan to handle suspected loss of, or unauthorized access to, information. We work with third-party industry experts to conduct annual vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. Like most major corporations, during the normal course of business, we have been the target of cyberattacks, from time to time, and we expect to be the target of such attacks in the future. In the past three years, however, we have not experienced a material information security breach. As such, we have not incurred any material expenses from cybersecurity breaches or any expenses from penalties or settlements related to a cybersecurity breach.
At the executive level, cybersecurity risk is managed through the IT Security Council which establishes corporate risk tolerance and related policy. The council meets quarterly, is chaired by the General Counsel and managed by our VP, Global Digital Operations and Security with senior level representation from key functions and business units. The Board believes that the substantial investments being made by the Company in a multi-year operational and business transformation program will continue to advance the cybersecurity protection and IT capabilities of the Company.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee oversees the management of risks related to the Company’s financial performance and financial statements, the financial reporting process and internal controls, internal and external audit functions, tax and accounting matters, anti-bribery and corruption, and other exposures. The primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to:
Oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company as well as its affiliated and subsidiary companies, as well as oversee the internal and external audit processes;
Assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information which is provided to shareholders and others, and the system of internal controls which management has established;
Oversee the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, including their independence and objectivity; and
Review with management and our independent registered public accounting firm financial risk exposures, including risks related to financial reporting, tax, accounting, disclosure, internal control over financial reporting, financial policies and credit and liquidity matters, steps taken to manage those exposures and our Company’s risk tolerance in relation to our overall strategy.
However, the committee members are not acting as professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or substitute for the activities of management and our independent registered

public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is empowered to retain independent legal counsel and other advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate to assist the Audit Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities, and to approve the fees and other retention terms of the advisors. The Company maintains an internal audit function to provide management and the Audit Committee with ongoing assessments of the Company’s risk management processes and system of internal control.
The Audit Committee is currently comprised of three members, each of whom was elected by the Board of Directors. Ginger Jones because of her accounting background and extensive financial experience meets the NYSE listing standard of having accounting or related financial management expertise and the SEC definition of an “Audit Committee financial expert”. Each of the other members of our Audit Committee has financial management experience or is financially literate. Each committee member meets the additional independence requirements for members of an Audit Committee under the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules.
Human Resources and Compensation Committee
The HRCC has oversight responsibility with respect to the risks relating to the design and implementation of our compensation and benefit plans. In addition, the HRCC administers our executive compensation program and assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the compensation we pay to our executive officers. Among its duties, the HRCC:
Evaluates and determines the salary, incentives and benefits making up the total compensation of our CEO and other executive officers;
Reviews and monitors management succession planning and development, including promotability of all officers;
Defines the terms and conditions, including performance metrics, for the restricted shares units and other long-term equity awards for our executive officers and approves all grants made to the executive officers;
Reviews and approves the annual corporate goals and objectives of our CEO; and
Considers industry conditions, relevant market conditions and our prospects and achievements when making recommendations with respect to compensation matters.
Each member of the HRCC is independent as defined by SEC rules and NYSE listing standards and is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and an “outside director” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee’s focus is to ensure that the Board has the policies, practices and procedures in place to adequately oversee risk through board membership and structure, succession planning for our Directors, and corporate governance more generally. In addition, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee promotes, supports, monitors and assesses the Company’s corporate social responsibility and sustainability programs, including environmental initiatives.
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee assists the Board with respect to the following governance-related matters:
the organization and function of the Board including the structure, format and frequency of Board meetings;
corporate governance principles applicable to the Company;
the Company’s policies and programs that relate to matters of corporate responsibility and community engagement;

the policies, programs and actions underlying Tronox’s sustainability targets whether related to emissions, solid waste, or water conservation;
remuneration of non-executive Directors; and
if and when the Board determines to recruit new members, establishing the requirements, qualities and characteristics such new Board members should possess and obtaining suitable candidates for the Board to select.
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee has not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by each candidate for the Board or specific qualities or skills that are necessary for one or more of the members of the Board to possess.
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee also assists the Board with respect to environmental and sustainability matters as described above under “ESG Oversight by the Board of Directors.”
Board Leadership Structure
Chair of the Board of Directors
Since March 2021, Mr. Ilan Kaufthal has served as our non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors. The Board believes that this leadership structure, in which the roles of Chair and CEO are separated, best serves the Board’s ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of the Company’s shareholders and other stakeholders, including its oversight of management, and the Company’s overall corporate governance.
The Company’s Articles of Association allows the roles of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer to be filled by the same or different individuals. The Board does not have a policy on whether the roles of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined. This approach gives the Board flexibility to determine whether the two roles should be separate or combined based on the Company’s needs and the Board’s assessment of the Company’s leadership from time to time. However, if the Chair of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer roles are vested in the same person then the Board considers it to be useful and appropriate that an independent lead director be designated to perform such duties, and have specific responsibilities, as described in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
As Chair, Mr. Kaufthal presided over numerous executive sessions in which the Directors met without the presence of the Company’s executive management team, including the CEO. At these executive sessions, the Directors review, among other things, the performance of the Company’s management. In fiscal year 2025, the Directors met in executive session 5 times.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, a copy of which is available on Tronox’s website at www.tronox.com, under “Investors - Governance,” sets forth the policy and procedure with respect to meetings of non-management Directors and the role, if applicable, of lead independent Directors at such executive sessions, including the procedure by which a lead independent Director is chosen.
Human Resources and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, none of our HRCC members: (i) have ever been an executive officer or employee of our Company; or (ii) is or was a participant in a “related person” transaction in fiscal year 2025. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, no executive officer of our Company served on the compensation committee (or its equivalent) or board of directors of any company that has an executive officer that serves on the Board or our HRCC.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
Tronox’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) applies to all officers, directors and employees of Tronox as well our agents, suppliers, contractors and other partners who are providing goods and services to Tronox or acting on our behalf. The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to ensure that Tronox conducts business ethically, honestly, and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This applies to every business decision in every area of the company worldwide.
The Code of Conduct is available on the Company’s website at https://investor.tronox.com/governance/governance-documents. If the Company makes any substantive amendments to the Code of Conduct or grants any waiver from a provision of the Code of Conduct to any executive officer or Director, the Company will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on our website.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Tronox has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines which address qualifications for members of the Board, Director responsibilities, Director access to management and independent advisors, Director compensation and many other matters related to the governance of the Company. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on Tronox’s website at www.tronox.com, under “Investors—Governance.”
Director Independence
The listing standards of the NYSE, as well as our Corporate Governance Guidelines, require that a majority of the Board be comprised of independent directors. For a director to be considered independent under these standards:
The director must meet the bright–line independence tests under the listing standards of the NYSE; and
The board must affirmatively determine that the director otherwise has no material relationship with us, directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us.
Based on these standards, the Board has affirmatively determined that all of the current Directors, except for Messrs. Romano, Turgeon and Khan, are independent. The Board based these determinations primarily on a review of the responses of our Directors to questions regarding employment and compensation history, affiliations and family and other relationships and on discussions with the Directors.
Majority Vote Standard
Pursuant to our Articles of Association, we have adopted a majority vote standard for the election of our Directors. Each Director shall be elected if such Director receives a majority of the votes cast by the holder of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. For this purpose, a “majority of the votes cast” shall mean that number of votes cast “for” a Director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that Directors’ election.
Over-Boarding Policy
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines limit the number of public company directorships Board members may hold. Specifically, a Director cannot sit on the board of directors of more than five public companies (including the Company’s Board); however, any Director who is a chief executive officer of a public company cannot sit on more than two public company boards (other than the company for which he or she serves as the chief executive officer). All current Directors are in compliance with this policy.

Share Ownership Guidelines
We have share ownership guidelines that apply to each of our CEO, all executive officers and all other direct reports of the CEO at the Vice President level, as well as our Directors. The guidelines ensure that executives and Directors are aligned with the interests of our shareholders by requiring them to hold significant levels of Company stock. All shares owned outright and 60% of time-based restricted share units count towards share ownership. Unvested performance-based restricted share units do not count towards share ownership. Executives and Directors have five years to reach their ownership guidelines.
The share ownership guidelines provide that once a covered person has satisfied their respective share ownership guidelines, a decrease in the Company’s share price will not be considered to result in non-compliance on a subsequent determination date as long as such covered person holds the guideline or greater number of shares held at the time the guidelines were initially met.
The ownership guidelines are as follows:
POSITION
PERCENTAGE OF
BASE SALARY
 
Chief Executive Officer
500%
 
Executive Officers
300%
 
Other Direct Reports of the CEO at VP Level and Above
100%
 
 
Percentage of
Annual Cash Retainer
 
Non-employee Directors
500%
 
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, all of our current NEOs other than Mr. AlJunaidi have met their ownership guideline. In addition, as of the date hereof, each of our current non-executive director nominees have met their ownership guidelines.
Claw-Back Policy
In October 2023, the HRCC approved a new Company clawback policy in compliance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange requirements. Under the clawback policy, the Company may recoup “excess” incentive compensation, if any, earned by current and former executive officers during a three-year look back period in the event of a financial restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws (with no fault required). The foregoing summary of the clawback policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the clawback policy, a copy of which can be found as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Insider Trading Policy
The Company has adopted an Insider Trading Policy that governs the purchase, sale and/or disposition of securities of the Company by directors, officers and employees of the Company. In addition, the Insider Trading Policy establishes that the Company shall not buy or sell securities of the Company on the basis of material, non-public information relating to the Company in violation of federal or state securities laws. We believe that the Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and with any listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of the Insider Trading Policy is included as Exhibit 19.0 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026.
The Insider Trading Policy, amongst other things, prohibits Directors, executive officers, employees on our restricted trading list and related persons thereto from hedging or entering into monetization transactions or similar arrangements with respect to Company securities. This Insider Trading Policy was established in order

to avoid the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct by any such Director, executive officer, employee or related person. In addition, all Directors, executive officers, employees on our restricted trading list and related persons thereto are prohibited from engaging in short sales of our securities. Further, such individuals are prohibited from buying or selling puts or calls or other derivative securities on the Company’s securities.
Political Contributions
Our Code of Conduct prohibits us from using any corporate funds to make political contributions, whether direct or indirect.
Board Meetings and Committees
During 2025, the Board of Directors held a total of 9 meetings. All Directors attended or participated in ~90% of the Board meetings held during 2025 and all Directors attended or participated in ~90% of the committee meetings on which they served that were held during the aforementioned period. The Board of Directors has established three committees: a Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, a Human Resources and Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee. During 2025, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee held a total of 5 meetings, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee held a total of 5 meetings, and the Audit Committee held a total of 6 meetings. Each such committee is governed by a written charter, and a current copy of each such charter is available on Tronox’s website at www.tronox.com, under “Investors—Governance”.

Annual Board and Committee Self-Evaluations
Annual Board Self-Evaluations
The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation that is intended to determine whether the Board, its committees, and each member of the Board are functioning effectively, and to provide an opportunity to reflect upon, and improve, processes and effectiveness. The self-evaluations provide each director with an opportunity to assess the effectiveness and performance of the Board, its committees, as well as topics such as, among others, Board and committee composition and refreshment; timing, agenda, and content of Board and committee meetings; Board dynamics and function; and executive succession planning. A summary of the results is presented to the Board on an anonymous basis, identifying any themes or issues that have emerged. The Board considers the results and ways in which Board processes and effectiveness may be improved.
Annual Committee Self-Evaluations
Each committee conducts its own annual self-evaluation and reports the results to the Board. Each committee’s evaluation includes an assessment of the committee’s compliance with the committee’s charter, as well as ways in which committee processes and effectiveness may be improved.

2025 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Non-employee directors receive compensation for Board service, which is designed to fairly compensate them for their Board responsibilities and align their interests with the long-term interests of shareholders. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, which consists solely of independent directors, has the primary responsibility to review and consider any revisions to directors’ compensation.
The principal components of our non-employee directors’ compensation are as follows:
Each non-employee director receives:
An annual cash retainer of $100,000 for service on the Board of Directors payable quarterly in arrears; and
An annual equity grant of time-based restricted share units (RSUs) with a grant value of $150,000 that is granted on the date of the Company’s annual general meeting (AGM) of shareholders and vests the earlier of (a) the date of the next annual general meeting of shareholders or (b) May 31st of the year following the grant date (assuming such individual is a Board member at the time of vesting). Dividend equivalents accrue and are paid when the RSUs vest.
A non-executive Chair of the Board will receive an additional annual retainer of $120,000. A Lead Independent Director (in the situation whereby the Chair of the Board role is held by an executive of the Company) will receive an additional annual retainer of $50,000;
The chair of the Audit Committee will receive an additional annual retainer of $50,000;
The chair of the HRCC will receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000;
The chair of the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee will receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000; and
A committee member of each of the Audit Committee, HRCC, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, or any other committee established by the Board of Directors, respectively, who is not serving as chair of such committee, will receive an additional annual committee retainer of $15,000.
In addition to the foregoing components of non-employee director compensation, because none of our Directors are tax residents of the UK, we tax equalize our Directors to eliminate any additional incremental tax burden that arises due to the fact that we are a company domiciled in the UK. We also pay the cost to prepare our directors’ UK tax filings.
On March 18, 2021, the Board elected Mr. Kaufthal to the role of Chair of the Board, after initially electing him in an interim capacity in December 2020, and approved a monthly cash stipend of $15,000 for his role as Chair. The monthly cash stipend is in addition to the other components of non-employee director compensation he receives (described above). Mr. Kaufthal is involved in a wide range of Tronox matters that far exceeds the involvement of other non-executive Chair at similarly situated NYSE companies of which the Board is aware. Examples of Mr. Kaufthal’s contributions to Tronox include:
Spearheading the search for new directors which has resulted in the appointment of two new female directors – Mrs. Foufopoulos-De Ridder and Ms. Beck – in 2024 and 2025, respectively;
Providing guidance and advice on capital market activities including the opportunistic $400 million bond offering that occurred during 2025 which enhanced balance sheet resilience;
Assistance in formulating and implementing our rare earth growth strategy;
Advising on our investor relations strategy and holding frequent meetings with shareholders, particularly to discuss corporate governance and executive compensation matters; and
Managing the relationship with our largest shareholder, Tasnee.
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee periodically reviews Mr. Kaufthal’s compensation package to ensure that it remains appropriate and commensurate with his activities on behalf of Tronox.

Mr. Al-Morished retired from the board on May 7, 2025. Ms. Beck commenced board service on February 19, 2025 and voluntarily stepped down from the board effective September 30, 2025.
 (1)
Amounts reported in this column include quarterly cash fees paid in arrears. For Mr. Kaufthal, this column also includes a total of $180,000 paid as cash stipend. For Mr. Al-Morished and Ms. Beck, this column reflects pro-rated fees earned.
 (2)
Amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value for restricted share units granted to each Director in 2025 computed in accordance with the share-based compensation accounting guidance under ASC Topic 718. Each Director received the annual equity grant on the date of the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders (on May 7, 2025) that vests the earlier of (a) the date of the next annual general meeting of shareholders or (b) May 31st of the year following the grant date (assuming such individual is a Board member at the time of vesting). As such, on May 7, 2025, each Director (other than Mr. Al-Morished and Ms. Beck) received a grant of 27,223 (for Ms. Beck 32,940) restricted share units, reflecting the annual equity grant value of $150,000 (for Ms. Beck a pro-rated grant value of $181,500) divided by the ten (10) day average closing price for the Company’s shares prior to the grant date of $5.51 and valued at the NYSE closing price on May 7, 2025 of $4.91. Dividends will be accrued on all restricted share units until the units vest and will be paid at that time. As of December 31, 2025, each non-employee Director (other than Mr. Al-Morished and Ms. Beck) held 27,223 unvested restricted share units. Mr. Al-Morished did not receive an equity grant on May 7, 2025 as he retired from the board on that date. Ms. Beck forfeited her outstanding 32,940 RSUs on September 30, 2025.
 (3)
Amounts reported below are excluded from this column. The Company maintains certain tax equalization and other tax-related benefits for Directors to mitigate or eliminate additional incremental tax burden because the Company is a UK domiciled company. Although all of our directors are non-resident UK taxpayers, they are liable for UK tax on items such as accommodations and meals while conducting business in the UK that are not considered taxable benefits in the US. Because of these unusual circumstances, the Company pays the cost to prepare their UK income tax filings, provides tax reimbursements associated with the UK travel-related expenses and cost of the UK tax filing, and may make certain tax equalization payments as reflected in the table below (based on December 31, 2025 Fx rate). In 2025, UK tax preparation fees include one UK tax filing (UK tax filing period ending April 2025 and filed in December 2025). Tax reimbursements reflect those paid along with the UK filling. In 2025, Mutlaq Al-Morished received a total of $5,410 in tax equalization payments. In 2025, Mr. Turgeon received a total of $59,697 in tax equalization payments as a result of his 2025 equity vest that corresponds to compensation from his prior role as our former Co-CEO. While the Company anticipates that only some of our future Board meetings will take place in the UK, we intend to continue to mitigate or eliminate any associated incremental tax burden our Directors might incur as a consequence of those meetings.

The Company has adopted a written Related Party Transactions Policy that is administered by the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee. A copy of the Company’s Related Party Transactions Policy can be found on the Company’s website, http://www.tronox.com, under “Investors – Governance.”
The Related Party Transactions Policy applies to any transaction or series of transactions in which the Company or a subsidiary is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. Related persons subject to the policy include executive officers, Directors, nominees for election as a Director, owners of more than 5% of our total equity, and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons. Under the Related Party Transactions Policy, our General Counsel determines whether a transaction requires review by the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, and transactions requiring review are referred to the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee for a determination as to whether or not the related party transaction is fair, reasonable and consistent with the policy, and whether it or the Board has the authority under the laws of the United Kingdom to approve or ratify the Related Party Transaction or whether it should be ratified or approved by shareholders. The ratification or approval by the Governance and Sustainability Committee, or recommendation that such transaction needs to be approved by shareholders, shall be made in accordance with applicable law, including the laws of the United Kingdom, and the Company’s organizational documents as from time to time in effect. If the Company becomes aware of an existing transaction with a related person that has not been approved under this policy, the matter is referred to the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee. The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee then evaluates all options available, including ratification, revision, termination or whether the approval of shareholders should be sought.
In conjunction with the closing of the Cristal acquisition, we entered into agreements with Tasnee and certain of its affiliates related to transition and technical services, as well as certain commercial-related agreements. For further details with respect to these related-party transactions, see Note 24 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

PROPOSAL 2—ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (SAY-ON-PAY)
In accordance with Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are seeking a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. We encourage shareholders to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement and the executive compensation tables that follow such section for a more detailed discussion of our compensation program and policies, the compensation and governance-related actions taken in fiscal year 2025 and the compensation awarded to our named executive officers.
The primary goal of our executive compensation program is the same as our goal for operating the Company—to maximize corporate performance and thereby create value for our shareholders. To achieve this goal we have designed an executive compensation program based on the following principles:
Paying for performance - A significant portion of each executive’s potential cash compensation is made subject to achieving business performance measures.
Alignment with the interests of shareholders - Equity awards align our executives’ financial interests with those of our shareholders by providing value to our executives if the market price of our shares increases.
Attracting and retaining top talent - The compensation of our executives must be competitive so that we may attract and retain talented and experienced executives in our industry.
Integration of ESG into executive compensation: 20% of our executives’ annual incentive compensation is determined by their individual performance, a significant portion of which is an evaluation of how they lead, manage and live our values, the first one of which is: We have an uncompromising focus on operating safe, reliable and responsible facilities. Of the 80% of our NEOs’ target cash bonus that is tied to overall Tronox performance, 20% of our annual bonus plan is linked to ESG metrics - 15% to safety and 5% to carbon emission reduction. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis also discusses the compensation objectives and principles that underlie the Company’s executive compensation program, the elements of the program and how performance is measured, evaluated and rewarded.
Our executive compensation program is aligned with our business strategy and with creating long-term shareholder value by paying for performance consistent with an acceptable risk profile. The foundation of our compensation philosophy is to:
Promote creation of long-term shareholder value;
Recruit and retain qualified high performing executive officers;
Motivate high levels of performance; and
Offers compensation that is competitive in the marketplace.
Our executive compensation program emphasizes delivering compensation at a competitive market level which will allow executive officers who demonstrate consistent on-target performance over a multi-year period to earn compensation that is competitive and consistent with targeted performance levels of total compensation. For executives where performance is above target over the long term, we believe the program will reward above the competitive median. Conversely, the program will provide less than the annual target compensation when performance does not meet expectations. Individual executive compensation may be above or below the annual target level, based on the Company’s performance; economic and market conditions; the individual’s performance, contribution to the organization, experience, expertise, and skills; and other relevant factors.
For these reasons, our Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED, on an advisory basis.”

PROPOSAL 2—ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (SAY-ON-PAY)
This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation that is paid to our named executive officers resulting from our compensation objectives, policies and practices as described in this Proxy Statement. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors and the HRCC value the opinions expressed by our shareholders and will review the voting results in connection with their ongoing evaluation of our executive compensation program.
The accompanying proxy will be voted in favor of the proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as stated in the above advisory resolution, unless the shareholder indicates to the contrary on the proxy.
Vote Required to Approve, on an Advisory Basis, the Executive Compensation Paid to our Named Executive Officers
The advisory vote on executive compensation will be approved if the votes cast favoring the proposal exceed the votes cast opposing the proposal. The proxies will be voted for or against the proposal or as an abstention in accordance with the instructions specified on the proxy form. If no instructions are given by owners of record, proxies will be voted for approval of the executive compensation.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR”, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Philosophy - How Executive Pay is Linked to Company Performance
Our executive compensation program is designed to incentivize and motivate our executive officers to lead and manage our business over the long-term, drive performance improvements, and increase shareholder value. It is also designed to enable us to compete effectively with other chemical and mining companies in attracting, motivating and retaining talented executives.
The incentive compensation elements of our program are designed to closely align the financial interests of our executives with those of our shareholders. We believe the portion of compensation that is at-risk and tied to organization-wide performance metrics should increase as the level of responsibility increases.
We also believe a portion of at-risk compensation should be tied to an executive’s individual performance, and those leaders should be measured not just on results, but also on how each leader delivers results. We expect our executives to manage wisely and with good judgment, to develop strong, engaged and motivated management teams, and to lead with our values. Due to the inherent risk in mining and chemical operations, we place a high priority on our leaders’ ability to create, maintain and reinforce a strong culture of safety. Because of the environmental risks in our business, we also place a high priority on sustainably.
We regularly assess how our executive compensation program compares to companies with a similar profile to ours. Our objective is to deliver compensation at a competitive market level which will enable executive officers who demonstrate consistent performance over a multi-year period to earn compensation that is competitive and consistent with targeted performance levels of total compensation. For executives who deliver performance that is above target over the long-term, we believe the program will reward above the competitive median. Conversely, the program will pay less than the annual target compensation when performance does not meet expectations. Individual executive compensation may be above or below the annual target level, based on our performance; economic and market conditions; the individual’s performance, contribution to the organization, experience, expertise, and skills; and other relevant factors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Tronox’s executive compensation is aligned with and reflects the Company’s challenging business environment over the past few years and subsequent impact on Tronox financial performance and stock price as demonstrated by the following compensation outcomes:
In 2025, CEO and other executive leadership did not receive salary increases.
Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) payouts were below target for fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Performance-based LTIP vesting in 2024 were below target and performance-based LTIP vesting in 2025 and 2026 were forfeited based on below threshold performance.
Summary of our Executive Compensation Program
Set forth below is a summary of our key executive compensation practices.
We seek and carefully consider shareholder feedback regarding our compensation practices.
We strive to link our executive compensation to our performance as follows:

In 2025, 86.0% of the target compensation for CEO and an average of 70.0% of the target compensation for other NEOs is “at-risk”.

We select metrics in our short-term incentive plan that focus our NEOs on achieving key annual financial and operational goals and objectives that drive overall performance that are expected to drive long-term shareholder value. Our short-term incentive plan also has an individual performance metric whereby our CEO and other NEOs performance is measured against pre-defined objectives.

Metrics in our long-term incentive plan focus our NEOs on achieving long-term financial goals that are expected to lead to increased shareholder value; annual grants with overlapping performance periods reward sustained performance over the long-term.

For our NEOs, 80% of targeted 2025 short-term incentive plan payout was linked to overall Tronox results, including Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA Margin Relative to TiO2 Peers, safety metrics and a CO2 emissions metric.

50% of the annual long-term equity awards are performance-based RSUs with 50% linked to three-year TSR performance percentile ranking versus a peer group and the other 50% based on Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) performance in 2027 (the third year of the measurement period). The maximum overall vesting payout is subject to 200% of target RSUs.

50% of the annual long-term equity awards are time-based RSUs that vest over a three-year time period. These time-based RSUs are intended to incentivize executives to create shareholder value through share price appreciation and provide an employee retention incentive.

Metrics and targets for both the short-term and long-term incentive plans are based on the Company’s strategic and business plans and annual budgets that are approved by the full Board and are analyzed and tested for reasonableness by the HRCC at the beginning of the performance period. The HRCC actively evaluates the appropriateness of the financial measures used in incentive plans and the degree of difficulty in achieving specific performance targets.
The HRCC also reviewed compensation programs in hindsight when evaluating any future proposed changes.
The HRCC also assesses the effectiveness of our compensation programs based on past pay versus performance when evaluating any future proposed changes.
We review our Peer group annually to ensure appropriateness.

Our 2025 compensation benchmarking peer group includes 16 companies that the HRCC believes reflect appropriate industry, size, geographic scope, and market dynamics.
We do not re-price stock options.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Our compensation consultants are independent.

The HRCC directly retained Frederic W. Cook & Co. (“FW Cook”) and FIT Remuneration Consultants, LLP for 2025. Neither consulting firm provided any other services to the Company.
2025 Business Performance & Accomplishments
Throughout 2025 we continued to experience an extremely challenging operating environment as end-market demand for TiO2 and zircon did not recover to the levels initially anticipated at the beginning of the year. Compounding the weak demand environment, Chinese TiO2 continued to be dumped in key markets around the world despite the imposition of antidumping duties in the European Union, Brazil, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and India. Notwithstanding these challenges, Tronox continued to make progress on key strategic initiatives, including prudently investing capital to maintain our mineral resource base which resulted in the successful commissioning of the Fairbreeze extension and the completion of construction of Namakwa East OFS which is currently in the process of being commissioned - two major mining projects in South Africa which replace existing mines approaching end of life, as well as advancing our rare earth strategy. In addition, we launched a comprehensive Sustainable Cost Improvement Program designed to enhance cost efficiency and optimize asset performance across all aspects of our business. This initiative delivered over $90 million in annualized savings by year-end 2025 and is projected to achieve $125–$175 million in annualized savings by the end of 2026.
During 2025, we also remained focused on the Company’s financial strength and liquidity position. Key achievements included strengthening the balance sheet through a $400 million senior secured bond offering; improving cash preservation and flexibility by reducing the quarterly dividend by 60%; and implementing targeted operational measures to manage near-term cash flow, including the closure or temporary idling of select pigment and mining operations.
As it relates to the Company’s sustainability initiatives, in 2025, we were able to exceed our previously announced target of reducing Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 27% against the 2019 baseline, primarily due to a 200 MW solar energy project in South Africa becoming fully operational in the first half of 2024. As it relates to the Company’s emphasis on safety, we are proud that in 2025 we achieved record improvements in injury frequency rates.
The Executive Compensation Process
Role of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee
The HRCC administers our executive compensation program and assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the compensation of executive officers. Among its other duties, the HRCC:
Evaluates and determines the salary, incentives, and benefits making up the total compensation of our CEO, other NEOs and other executive officers;
Reviews and monitors management succession planning and development, including the readiness for promotion of all officers;
Defines the terms and conditions, including performance metrics, for restricted shares/units, and other long-term equity awards for our executive officers and reviews and approves all grants made to the executive officers;
Reviews and approves the annual corporate goals and objectives of our CEO; and,
Considers industry conditions, relevant market conditions and our prospects and achievements when making recommendations with respect to compensation matters. The HRCC cannot delegate this authority and regularly reports its activities to the Board.
The HRCC is comprised of three members, each of whom is independent as defined by SEC rules and NYSE listing standards and is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and an
42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
“outside director” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Currently, the members of the HRCC are Stephen Jones, Chair, Peter Johnston, and Sipho Nkosi.
The HRCC operates pursuant to a written charter (available on Tronox’s website at www.tronox.com, under “Investors – Governance”) which is reviewed by the HRCC on an annual basis with any changes approved by the Board. The HRCC meets at least three times a year and more frequently as circumstances require, including in executive session with the HRCC’s independent compensation consultant.
The compensation of our CEO is reviewed and approved by the non-employee, independent members of the Board of Directors. When making recommendations with respect to our executive officers other than the CEO, the HRCC considers the recommendations made by the CEO and his evaluation of the other executive officers’ performance.
Aspects considered by the HRCC and our CEO when reviewing the Company’s performance include: share price, the Company’s performance as measured against the performance goals established for the previous year, non-controllable events that may impact the Company’s performance, attainment of significant non-financial milestones and any other factors or goals it determines to be relevant to measuring the Company’s performance. The individual performance of our executive officers is measured against individual performance goals that were set for each executive officer by our CEO.
Use of Compensation Consultants
The HRCC has the sole authority to hire and terminate its consultant, approve its compensation, determine the nature and scope of its services, and evaluate its performance. The HRCC engaged two consulting firms during 2025, FW Cook and FIT Remuneration Consultants, LLP.
The HRCC has engaged FW Cook since 2016 as its compensation consultant to provide information to the HRCC to assist it in making determinations regarding our compensation programs for executives. For the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, FW Cook provides information regarding non-employee director compensation.
In October 2024, FW Cook provided the HRCC with, among other things, a competitive pay analysis comparing the compensation of our executive officers against benchmark compensation statistics to assist the HRCC in determining 2025 executive officer compensation actions. During 2025, FW Cook provided the HRCC with program design advice, an independent review of 2025 compensation proposals developed by management, review of trends and regulatory developments, review of the Company’s proxy advisory firm reports, assistance with peer group review, risk assessment review of incentive programs, review of CD&A disclosure, and program advice on 2026 compensation programs. In October 2025, FW Cook provided the HRCC with a competitive pay analysis comparing the compensation of our executive officers against benchmark compensation statistics to assist the HRCC in determining 2026 executive officer compensation actions. In October 2025, FW Cook also provided the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee with a comparative analysis of non-employee director compensation.
A representative from FW Cook attended all HRCC meetings in 2025, and FW Cook did not perform any other services for the Company or its management other than those described above.
FW Cook provides information and data to the HRCC from surveys, proprietary databases and other sources, which the HRCC utilizes along with information provided by management and obtained from other sources. In making its decisions, the HRCC reviews such information and data provided to it by FW Cook and management and also draws on the knowledge and experience of its members as well as the expertise and information from within the Company, including from the human resources, legal, and finance groups. The HRCC considers executive compensation matters at its quarterly meetings and at special meetings as needed based on our annual compensation schedule.
During 2025, the HRCC also engaged FIT Remuneration Consultants, LLP to assist the HRCC and the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee in drafting required fiscal year end 2024 UK disclosure as a result of the Company’s re-domiciling to the UK in March 2019. A representative from this firm participated in the combined relevant committee meeting during 2025 to discuss draft UK required disclosures for fiscal year end 2024.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In connection with its engagement of FW Cook and FIT Remuneration Consultants, LLP, the HRCC considered various factors bearing upon each firm’s independence including, but not limited to, the amount of fees received by each firm from Tronox as a percentage of each firm’s respective total revenue, their policies and procedures designed to prevent conflicts of interest, and the existence of any business or personal relationship that could impact their independence. After reviewing these and other factors, the HRCC determined that both firms were independent and that their engagements did not present any conflicts of interest. Both FW Cook and FIT Remuneration also determined that they were independent from management and confirmed this in written statements delivered to the Chair of the HRCC.
CEO’s Role in the Compensation-Setting Process
Typically, at an HRCC meeting early in the year, the CEO makes recommendations to the HRCC regarding compensation for the executive officers other than himself. The CEO participates in the HRCC discussion at the HRCC’s request to provide background information regarding our strategic objectives and to evaluate the performance of and make compensation recommendations for the executive officers. The HRCC utilizes the information provided by the CEO along with other information from within the Company, input from its independent compensation consultant, and the knowledge and experience of the HRCC members in making compensation decisions. The Chair of the HRCC recommends the CEO’s compensation to the HRCC in executive session, not attended by the CEO.
Annual Evaluation
At the end of the fiscal year, the CEO prepares a self-evaluation of his and the executive team’s performance and provides it to the HRCC. In executive session, the full board also provides its input on the CEO’s performance for consolidation by the HRCC. The Chair of the HRCC and the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee communicate to the CEO the Board’s assessment of the CEO’s performance. The HRCC also determines the incentive amount, long-term incentive award, and any base salary change for the CEO.
In addition, each executive officer provides a self-evaluation for his/her own performance and reviews his/her evaluation with the CEO. The CEO then provides his recommendation for each executive’s base salary increase, annual incentive award, and long-term incentive award. The HRCC then determines the amounts for any base salary increase and annual and long-term incentive awards for each executive officer.
Performance Objectives
At the beginning of the year our CEO recommended, and the HRCC approved, performance objectives for the 2025 fiscal year based, in part, on an active dialogue with the CEO regarding strategic objectives and performance targets for the Company. Metrics are tied to our strategic business plans and to annual budgets reviewed by the full Board. Short-term management objectives are designed to achieve specific goals that are expected to drive long-term shareholder value. Metrics are analyzed and tested for reasonableness prior to HRCC approval at the beginning of the performance period. The HRCC actively evaluates the appropriateness of the financial measures used in incentive plans and the degree of difficulty in achieving specific performance targets.
Competitive Market Overview
Our executive compensation program is designed to be competitive within the various marketplaces in which we compete for employees. While the HRCC does not believe that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based solely on benchmarking, it believes that information regarding pay practices at peer companies is useful in two respects. First, the HRCC recognizes that our compensation practices must be competitive in the marketplace and reviewing market pay practices provides a framework for assessing competitiveness. Second, marketplace information is one of the many factors that the HRCC considers in assessing the reasonableness of compensation and for our NEOs we start by targeting to deliver median levels of each element of target direct compensation compared to the peer group. Although the HRCC considers compensation levels for executive officers of other companies, it does not mechanically apply the data but rather engages in a rigorous quantitative and qualitative review and weighing of the competitive information with other Company and individual performance factors, such as our specific business strategy, financial situation, and performance, in making its compensation determinations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
With the input of its independent compensation consultant, the HRCC reviews the peer group annually and revises such group as appropriate. We endeavor to identify companies that are comparable to our core businesses as well as comparable from a size perspective.
In August 2024, the HRCC, with the assistance of FW Cook, conducted its annual review of the Company’s peer group to be used in connection with 2025 compensation determinations and determined the continued suitability of the peer group. After reviewing various attributes (e.g. annual revenues and number of employees) of the 2024 Peer Group, the HRCC approved the addition of three companies (Axalta Coating Systems, Element Solutions, and Ingevity Corporation) given that three peer companies had dropped out in recent years (Cleveland Cliffs was acquired in 2020, Ferro Corporation was acquired by Prince International in April 2022 and Venator Materials filed for bankruptcy in 2023). The addition of the three companies resulted in the number of peer companies increasing from 13 to 16 that would be used for 2025 (the “2025 Peer Group”).
Our peer group for fiscal year 2025 (the “2025 Peer Group”) includes the following 16 companies:
Chemical Companies
with TiO2 Segments
Specialty and Diversified
Chemical Companies
Commodity Chemical
Companies & Other
The Chemours Co.
Albemarle Corp
H.B. Fuller Co.
Cabot Corp
 
Ashland Global Holdings
Huntsman Corp.
Koppers Holdings
 
Avient Corp1
Ingevity Corporation
Olin Corp.
 
Axalta Coating Systems
Minerals Technologies
Trinseo
 
Celanese Corp
Stepan Co.
 
 
Element Solutions

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Elements of Compensation
These are the components of the 2025 fiscal year executive compensation included in the Summary Compensation Table, and benefits under broad-based benefit plans in which executive officers participate. As described above, we target the median of each element of direct compensation as compared to the 2025 Peer Group (as described under “The Executive Compensation Process – Competitive Market Overview”). We also provide additional benefits and perquisites to be competitive with local practices and with our peer group.

Objectives
Principal 2025 Actions
Base Pay
Fixed annual cash amount, paid at regular payroll intervals

Reviewed annually and adjusted if needed based on performance and market comparison
Provide a regular source of income at reasonable, competitive levels.
In February 2025, the Board approved a salary increase for our CEO and the HRCC approved salary increases for the other NEOs. However, in response to the downturn in market conditions and in order to preserve cash, management decided to forgo these increases for 2025.
Short-term Incentive
Performance-based cash compensation opportunity: committee determines payout based on company, regional or site performance, if applicable, and levels of individual contributions.

Proxy officers participate in the same AIP with our other executives and our other employees, but payout is determined based on overall company performance and levels of individual contribution.
Focus executive officers and organizations they lead on achieving key annual financial and operational goals and objectives that drive overall performance and reward for successful performance.
AIP payments were calculated using a predetermined formula based on overall company metrics established at the beginning of the year, plus personal performance results.

In February 2025, the Board approved Mr. Romano’s 2025 Target AIP of 130% of salary (consistent with 2024). The 2025 Target AIP percent of salary also remained consistent with 2024 for the other NEOs (Target AIP of 80% of salary for Mr. Srivisal, 70% for Mr. Neuman and 60% for Messrs. Engle and AlJunaidi).

2025 AIP payments for the NEOs resulted in payouts of 67.0% of target on the overall Tronox component.
Long-term Incentive (1)
Equity-based compensation: amount realized, if any, dependent on company achieving long-range financial goals and sustained or increased stock price.

LTIP opportunity delivered through:

– Time-based RSUs (50% of total LTIP award):

• 
Vest in 3 equal annual installments
over a three-year service period.

• 
Award settled in ordinary shares of company stock.

• 
Dividend equivalents accrue and paid only upon vesting.

– Performance-based RSUs (50% of total LTIP award):

• 
50% eligible for vesting based on achievement of Company
Focus executive officers on achieving and sustaining longer-term business results and reward performance.

Performance-based RSUs motivate officers to achieve three-year financial goals that are expected to lead to increased shareholder value; annual grants with overlapping performance periods reward sustained performance over the long-term.
On February 19, 2025, as part of the annual equity grant cycle, LTIP awards were granted to each NEO. For the CEO, the Board approved a Target LTIP award with a dollar value of $5,500,000 (consistent with his award in 2024). LTIP grants were awarded to other NEOs with a dollar value based on the guideline of 180% of base salary for Messrs. Srivisal and Neuman and 150% for the remaining NEOs.

The LTIP dollar value is converted to number of RSUs based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

Amounts actually earned will vary based on stock price and corporate performance.

Benefits
Additional elements defined by local practice including medical and other insurance benefits, pension and other long-term savings plans, and post-employment compensation. Cost of health and welfare benefits partially borne by employees, including executive officers. Cost of executive physical examination program (plus associated tax reimbursements) is offered to executives to encourage them to proactively manage their health.
Intended to provide competitive benefits that promote employee health, financial security, and income security in the event of an executive’s involuntary termination.
No significant changes to programs in 2025.
Limited Perquisites
Financial counseling assistance valued at up to $13,000 per year per executive officer to assist with financial planning given significant Company stockholdings and/or complex foreign tax situations.

Full or partial tax equalization payments (inclusive of any additional tax reimbursements associated with the tax paid, as appropriate) and payment of UK tax incurred on accommodation and meals while conducting business in the UK (inclusive of any additional tax reimbursements associated with the tax paid).
Intended to provide assistance to executives in making strategic decisions regarding their financial and tax arrangements.

Intended to mitigate or eliminate incremental tax burden as a result of the Company conducting business in the UK, where applicable for UK activities.
Due to our jurisdiction of incorporation in the UK, Mr. Romano, as an executive director of Tronox and Mr. Turgeon, as a former executive director, were subject to UK tax and we provided tax payments and related tax reimbursement payments regarding UK tax to mitigate or eliminate incremental tax burden. Aso, the financial counseling assistance benefit increased from $10,000 to $13,000 per year after review of market data.

The LTIP dollar value awarded may differ from the Fair Value of the award as reported in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table which reports the value of long-term incentives granted in accordance with applicable accounting rules.
We combine the aforementioned elements in order to formulate compensation packages that provide competitive pay, reward the achievement of financial, operational and strategic objectives, but do not reward failure to perform on these objectives, and align the interests of our executive officers and other senior personnel with those of our shareholders.
We utilize the particular elements of compensation described above because we believe that they provide a mix of secure compensation, retention value and at-risk compensation which produce short-term and long-term performance incentives and rewards. By following this approach, we provide the executive with a measure of financial security, while motivating him or her to focus on business metrics that will produce a high level of short-term and long-term performance for Tronox that will create value for shareholders. Our compensation mix, which includes short-term and long-term incentives as well as time and performance

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
vesting features, is competitive and reduces the risk of recruitment of our top executive talent by competitors. The mix of metrics used for our annual performance bonus and long-term incentive program likewise provides an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term financial and stock performance. All incentives are intended to be aligned with our stated compensation philosophy of providing compensation commensurate with performance, while targeting pay at approximately the 50th percentile of the competitive market. For purposes of compensation competitiveness, the competitive market consists of our current peer group as described previously under “The Executive Compensation Process – Competitive Market Overview.”
The HRCC focuses on the total compensation opportunity for each NEO but also on the mix of compensation. A substantial portion of the compensation opportunity beyond base salary is at-risk and must be earned based upon achievement of annual and long-term performance goals. The proportion of compensation designed to be delivered in base salary versus variable pay depends on such NEO’s position and the opportunity for that position to influence performance outcomes; the relative levels of compensation are based on differences in the levels and scope of responsibilities of the NEOs. Generally, the more senior the level of such NEO and the broader his or her responsibilities, the greater the amount of pay opportunity that is variable.
The relationship between fixed and variable pay and between fixed and short-term and long-term incentives in our compensation program is illustrated by the following charts which show the relative portions of base salary, target annual incentive, and the target value of equity awards that, in aggregate, comprised the 2025 fiscal year target total direct compensation.
For purposes of the illustration below, we have modeled the pay mix of our CEO and other NEOs.


AIP = Annual Incentive Plan; LTIP = Long-Term Incentive Plan; RSUs = Restricted Stock Units.
Components of Compensation
Base Salary
We consider base salary an element of total compensation that is tied to job responsibility and individual contributions to our success and is intended to attract and retain highly talented executive officers. While the HRCC uses benchmark statistics to guide it in its decisions regarding levels of base salary, it has considerable discretion and considers the experience, tenure and recent individual performance of our NEOs when making decisions regarding base salary.
In February 2025, the Board approved a salary increase for our CEO and the HRCC approved salary increases for the other NEOs. However, management decided to forgo these increases for 2025.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2025 Short-Term Incentive Plan
For 2025, Tronox’s executive officers were eligible to receive cash awards under the 2025 Annual Incentive Plan. This plan is covered under the Tronox Holdings plc Amended and Restated Annual Bonus Incentive Plan.
The size of the target incentive payable to each executive officer is set as a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary (the “Target Percentage”). The target incentive is paid for achieving the targeted objectives described below. The threshold level of performance pays 50% of target and achieving maximum performance pays 200% of target.
Annually, the HRCC reviews the competitive analysis of total cash compensation and total direct compensation for the NEOs, and considers the input of our CEO and our independent compensation consultant, FW Cook. Based on this evaluation, the HRCC may selectively adjust the annual incentive award target of the NEOs. In February 2025, the Board approved Mr. Romano’s 2025 Target AIP of 130% of salary (consistent with 2024). The 2025 Target AIP percent of salary also remained consistent with 2024 for the other NEOs (Target AIP of 80% of salary for Mr. Srivisal, 70% for Mr. Neuman and 60% for Messrs. Engle and AlJunaidi).
Our NEOs have a portion of their incentive tied to overall Tronox performance (80%) and a portion tied to individual performance (20%). Each year the HRCC determines appropriate metrics for measuring overall Tronox performance and makes changes from time-to-time to drive shareholder value and to best measure and motivate management’s delivery of the Company’s strategic priorities at that point in time.
Historically, financial results have represented 80% of the overall Tronox performance metrics and 20% have represented sustainability and safety metrics. For 2025, the plan structure with regard to Tronox financial performance metrics was changed. The HRCC approved replacing the Adjusted EBITDA less Capital Expenditures metric (formerly weighted at 50%) with two metrics: Adjusted EBITDA (weighted at 25%) and Free Cash Flow (weighted at 25%). All other metrics (and corresponding weightings) remained the same as 2024. This change incents management to specifically focus equally on both profit and cash generation.
Thus, for 2025, the HRCC established the following metrics:
Tronox Financial Performance Metrics (80%):
2025 Adjusted EBITDA weighted at 25%. This metric is a primary metric that our investors use to evaluate our financial performance.
2025 Free Cash Flow weighted at 25%. This metric is another primary metric that our investors use to evaluate our financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin Relative to TiO2 Peers (Adjusted EBITDA margin as compared to the average Adjusted EBITDA margin achieved by the Company’s TiO2 Peers) weighted at 30%. Given that our Adjusted EBITDA can rise or fall with TiO2 market demand, irrespective of management actions, the HRCC has incorporated a metric that measures management’s performance independent of market cyclicality. Since we typically see our direct TiO2 peers’ financial performance rise and fall in a similar fashion to ours, we sought a metric that would assess whether Tronox management had delivered differentiated performance relative to its TiO2 peers. This metric rewards management only if Tronox management outperforms its peers, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA margin. For 2025, the HRCC approved 3 peer companies for this metric (Chemours Titanium Technologies Segment, Kronos Holdings and LB Group).
Sustainability and Safety Metrics (20%):
2025 Disabling Injury Frequency Rate (DIFR) weighted at 7.5%. This metric measures the frequency of serious injuries to our employees and contractors. Safety is one of our highest priorities, and we have observed that a strong safety culture and work environment has a correlation with financial and operating performance.
2025 Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) weighted at 7.5%. This metric measures the frequency of all injuries, with the exception of first aid cases, to our employees and contractors.
2025 Tons of CO2 Emissions Per Ton of Production weighted at 5%. This metric measures the number of tons of CO2 emissions per ton of product. CO2 emissions include both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and the percentage reductions are tied to a 2019 baseline.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For purposes of the 2025 Annual Incentive Program, the results were calculated as follows:
2025 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. We define EBITDA (also a non-GAAP measure) as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, interest income and depreciation, depletion and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the impact of nonrecurring items such as restructuring charges, gain or loss on debt extinguishments, impairment charges, gains or losses on sale of assets, acquisition-related transaction costs and pension settlements and curtailment gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes non-cash items such as share-based compensation costs, pension and postretirement costs, and realized and unrealized foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses.
2025 Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that is derived from the Company’s reported Statement of Cash Flow and calculated as Cash provided by operating activities less Capital Expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin Relative to TiO2 Peers is determined by first calculating the Adjusted EBITDA Margin for each of our peer companies (Chemours Titanium Technologies Segment, Kronos Holdings and LB Group) and then calculating a simple average Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the peer companies. The TiO2 Peer’s simple average Adjusted EBITDA Margin is then deducted from Tronox’s Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
2025 Disabling Injury Frequency Rate is calculated by dividing the total reported number of employee and contractor lost time injuries and restricted work injuries during the year by the number of total employee and contractor hours worked during the year and multiplying by 200,000.
2025 Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate is calculated dividing the total reported number of employee and contractor recordable injuries during the year by the number of total employee and contractor hours worked during the year and multiplying by 200,000.
CO2 emissions is calculated by dividing the number of tons of CO2 emissions (both Scope 1 and Scope 2) by total number of tons of product.
In the event of a fatality to an employee, contractor or visitor at a Tronox location, or the loss of life to someone in the community near a Tronox site caused by a site-specific event, the HRCC has full discretion to adjust safety payouts downward for individuals, sites, regions or all of Tronox, including eliminating the payout of any and all safety components. In determining the scale and application of the downward adjustment, the HRCC evaluates and considers:
The facts and circumstances of the fatality, and the response to the incident at the site;
The trended monthly and full year safety metrics for the site where the incident occurred and for all of Tronox, compared to prior year and to target, assessing whether safety improved following the incident; and,
The actions taken by management following the incident to address gaps and prevent something like it from occurring again, at the site, in the region, and across all of Tronox.
To reflect performance above or below targets, the overall Tronox metrics each have sliding scales that provide for annual incentive bonus payouts greater than the target bonus if results are greater than target (up to a maximum 200% payout) or less than the target bonus if results are lower than the target (down to a threshold of 50% of target payout, below which there would be no payout).

At its February 10, 2026 meeting, the HRCC reviewed the Company’s performance compared to the overall Tronox objectives and determined the following:
For the fiscal year 2025, Tronox reported actual Adjusted EBITDA of $336 million. This performance corresponded to below threshold performance and resulted in a payout of 0% for this component.
For the fiscal year 2025, Tronox reported actual Free Cash Flow of $(281) million. This performance corresponded to below threshold performance and resulted in a payout of 0% for this component.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin Relative to TiO2 Peers was determined by first calculating the Adjusted EBITDA Margin for Tronox and each of our peer companies (Chemours Titanium Technologies Segment, Kronos Holdings and LB Group) for the four quarters ending September 30, 2025 and then calculating a simple average Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the peer companies. The TiO2 Peer’s simple average Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 11.4% was then deducted from Tronox’s Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 14.3% resulting in a difference of 2.9%. This performance corresponded to approximately target performance and resulted in a payout of 100.5% for this component.
In the fiscal year 2025, our disabling injury frequency rate (DIFR) of 0.09 injuries to employees and contractors per 200,000 hours corresponded to above maximum performance level, resulting in a payout

of 200% for this component. Our total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) of 0.24 injuries to employees and contractors per 200,000 hours worked corresponded to above maximum performance level, resulting in a payout of 200% for this component.
For fiscal year 2025 Tronox achieved 1.229 tons of CO2 emissions per ton of product. This performance corresponded to performance between target and maximum performance levels and resulted in a payout of 136.9% for this component.

TOTAL PAYOUT %:
67.0%
At the February 10, 2026 meeting the HRCC approved the overall 2025 Tronox results that resulted in a payout of 67% of target. The overall Tronox payout represents 80% of our NEOs’ annual incentive opportunity. The remaining 20% is based on the HRCC’s evaluation of individual performance.
At the same Committee meeting, our CEO, Mr. Romano, reviewed his own performance and that of the other NEOs with the Committee.
Regarding decisions on the 2025 cash compensation for the CEO and other NEOs with respect to the 20% component of AIP linked to individual performance, the HRCC and the independent members of our Board considered the Company’s execution against key strategic, operational, and financial priorities in 2025. Despite continued challenging market conditions, management delivered meaningful progress on long-term value creation initiatives while taking decisive actions to strengthen liquidity and enhance operational resilience.
Strengthening Vertical Integration & Capital Discipline:
• 
Successful commissioning of the Fairbreeze extension and the completion of construction of Namakwa East OFS which is currently in the process of being commissioned - two major mining projects in South Africa which replace existing mines approaching end of life and which we believe will secure long-term, low-cost feedstock for rutile, zircon and ilmenite.
• 
In response to a prolonged industry downturn and need to preserve liquidity, reduced 2025 capital expenditures in a manner which enabled continued investment in essential safety and reliability initiatives.
Sustainable Cost Improvement Execution:
• 
Launched the Sustainable Cost Improvement Program, a comprehensive initiative focused on operational excellence, technology enablement, supply chain optimization, and SG&A alignment.
• 
Achieved over $90 million in annualized savings by year end 2025; on track to deliver $125–$175 million in annualized savings by the end of 2026.
Enhancing Liquidity & Financial Flexibility:
• 
Strengthened the balance sheet through a $400 million senior secured bond offering.
• 
Improved cash preservation and flexibility by reducing the quarterly dividend by 60%.
• 
Implemented targeted operational measures to manage near-term cash flow, including the closure or temporary idling of select pigment and mining operations.
Advancing Rare Earth Strategic Initiatives:
• 
Acquired an approximately 5% equity interest in Lion Rock Minerals, providing access to promising monazite and rutile resources.
• 
Received coordinated, non-binding indications of support for up to an aggregate of $600 million in potential limited or non-recourse financing from Export Finance Australia and the U.S. Export-Import Bank to advance development of the Company’s rare earth supply chain.

Safety and Sustainability:
• 
As it related to safety, in 2025, the Company achieved record results in injury frequency rates and leading indicators, reflecting continued maturation of its global safety programs and the effectiveness of risk-based controls. Six of our operating sites achieved zero injuries for the year, reinforcing our belief that zero is possible.
• 
On sustainability, we achieved our 2025 environmental targets: a 27% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emission; a 17% reduction in Scope 3 emissions intensity in our supply chain; and a 38% reduction in waste to external landfills.

Long-Term Incentive Program
We provide a long-term incentive opportunity to motivate and reward our executive officers for contributions in driving our overall performance and for retention purposes. The amounts of the grants were determined by a pre-established formula guideline (unchanged since the original appointment of each executive to their positions) that was formulated using competitive market data. Our CEO’s LTIP award is based on a dollar amount, not based on a percent of salary.
On February 19, 2025, as part of the annual equity grant cycle, the HRCC recommended and the Board approved a Target LTIP award for Mr. Romano with a dollar value of $5,500,000 consistent with his award in 2024. The CEO’s Target LTIP was determined and recommended by the HRCC following their review of benchmark peer data provided by FW Cook.
The guideline Target LTIP award for all other participants is tied to the level of the role and denominated as a percentage of base salary. For our NEOs this equates to 180% of base salary for Messrs. Srivisal and Neuman and 150% of base salary for the remaining NEOs. The HRCC has discretion to adjust actual LTIP awards above or below the guideline. The guideline Target LTIP awards were determined and recommended by the HRCC following their review of benchmark peer data provided by FW Cook.
The LTIP dollar value awarded is divided by the company’s closing stock price on the date of grant to determine the number of RSUs granted. The Target LTIP dollar value may differ from the Fair Value of the award as reported in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table which reports the value of long-term incentives granted in accordance with applicable accounting rules. RSU awards are granted consistently throughout all jurisdictions in which we operate. We believe RSUs provide value based on the NYSE value of our shares without any discount, but there is the risk that some or all of the granted RSUs will not vest if the executive does not remain employed with us, and with respect to performance-based RSUs, if performance is not achieved. Commencing with awards granted in February 2019, the Company moved the vest date for employee equity from anniversary date of grant to fixed vesting date of March 5 so that the vesting date is always outside of a black-out period. Hence, performance-based RSUs vest on March 5 following the three-year measurement period and time-based RSUs vest one-third on each March 5 starting with March 5 in the calendar year following the grant date.
Dividend equivalents on both performance-based and time-based RSUs are accumulated and paid only when the RSUs vest. Dividends equivalents will not be paid in the event that such RSUs do not vest. Time-based RSUs are intended to incentivize executives to create shareholder value through share price appreciation and provide an employee retention incentive. We believe performance-based RSUs provide value by linking the award vesting and payments to the long-term results of the Company.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2025 Long-Term Incentive Program
The 2025 long-term incentive program maintains the same allocation between time-based and performance-based RSUs.
On February 19, 2025, the HRCC granted long-term incentives using a mix of performance-based RSUs and time-based RSUs to each of the NEOs. The 2025 grant (dated February 19, 2025) to our NEOs was allocated as follows:
AWARD TYPE
PERCENTAGE
Performance-based Restricted Share Units
50%
Time-based Restricted Share Units
50%
For 2025, the HRCC approved utilizing Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) as the two metrics for performance-based awards whereby 50% of the performance-based RSUs are tied to each respective metric. TSR has been utilized as a long-term incentive metric since 2019 and ROIC has been utilized as a long-term incentive metric since 2021. The HRCC determined that the use of both TSR and ROIC best balances the focus of our NEOs on achievement of building shareholder value and long-term profitable growth of the business.
Since 2019, TSR performance-based awards, including the 2025 awards, utilized three-year TSR performance of a “Capital Markets Peer Group” (see below for listing of companies) versus the peer group used for compensation purposes that must also consider companies of similar size and scope. The HRCC determined that the Capital Markets Peer Group, regardless of company size, better reflects companies that have similar market characteristics, economics (margins, capital intensity, and cycle dynamics), and trade at similar EBITDA multiples. The Capital Markets Peer Group was also developed as part of our strategic planning efforts and reflect companies that our NEOs regularly monitor our company’s performance against. As such, the HRCC determined it was in the best interest of shareholders to continue to align the incentives of our NEOs with the performance of our company versus the performance of those companies in the Capital Markets Peer Group.
RSUs vest annually on March 5. Hence, the vest date for the performance-based RSUs, subject to performance criteria as specified below is March 5, 2028 and the vest dates for the service-based RSUs are March 5, 2026, March 5, 2027, and March 5, 2028. If the vest date is not a trading day then the award vests on the next trading day.
Details of the long-term incentives granted during 2025 are shown below:
50% of the performance-based RSUs granted are tied to Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and will vest based on the percentile rank of our TSR (defined as share price appreciation plus dividends reinvested) over the three-year measurement period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 as compared to companies in the “Capital Markets Peer Group” as defined below. For purposes of calculating TSR, the starting price for the period will be based on the 30-day average closing price prior to the measurement period and the ending price will be based on the 30-day average closing price prior to the end of the measurement period. The actual number of units that will vest will be equal to the aggregate number of units granted multiplied by the applicable TSR payout percentage. The TSR payout percentage will be determined using straight-line interpolation between Threshold and Target and between Target and Maximum.

(OEC); Quaker Chemical Corporation (KWR); Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (RYAM); RPM International Inc.(RPM); and The Chemours Company (CC).
50% of the performance-based RSUs granted are tied to Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and will vest based on ROIC in the third year of the measurement period. The ROIC performance measure has been set with relevant Threshold, Target and Maximum target levels; however, the actual targets are not being disclosed at the current time due to these being considered by the Company to be commercially sensitive. For Threshold, Target, and Maximum ROIC performance, the corresponding ROIC payout percentages are 25%, 100% and 200%, respectively. The actual number of units that will vest will be equal to the aggregate number of units granted multiplied by the applicable ROIC payout percentage. The ROIC payout percentage will be determined using straight-line interpolation between Threshold and Target and between Target and Maximum.
Performance Results for Prior Performance-based Long-Term Incentive Awards Vesting in March 2026
During the first quarter of 2026, the performance-based restricted share units from the February 2023 long-term incentive plan, covering the 2023 to 2025 performance period vested. The performance-based restricted share units vested based upon two metrics each weighted as follows:
50% of the performance-based RSUs vested based upon the percentile rank of our Total Shareholder Return (“TSR” defined as share price appreciation plus dividends reinvested) over the three-year measurement period of January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 as compared to companies in the “Capital Markets Peer Group” as defined below. The targets applying for the TSR measure are as follows:
Performance Metric
Below threshold
(0% vesting)
Threshold
(25% vesting)
Target
(100% vesting)
Maximum
(200% vesting)
TSR percentile ranking
<35th percentile
35th percentile
50th percentile
≥ 65th percentile
For purposes of calculating TSR, the starting price for the period was based on the 30-day average closing price prior to the performance period and the ending price was based on the 30-day average closing price prior to the end of the performance period. The Company achieved -66.5% TSR over the period that equated to a 14.3rd percentile ranking that resulted in a below threshold (below 35th percentile performance level) payout of 0.0% for this metric. The actual number of units that vested based on this metric equaled the aggregate number of shares granted multiplied by 50% and then multiplied by the 0.0% TSR payout percentage.
The 2023 Capital Markets Peer Group included the following companies: Ashland Inc (ASH); Avient Corporation (AVNT); Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (AXTA); Cabot Corporation (CBT); Eastman Chemical Company (EMN); FMC Corporation (FMC); H.B. Fuller Company (FUL); Iluka Resources Limited (ILU.AX); Koppers Holdings Inc. (KOP); Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (KRO); Minerals Technologies Inc. (MTX); Olin Corporation (OLN); Orion Engineered Carbons, S.A. (OEC); Quaker Chemical Corporation (KWR); Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (RYAM); RPM International Inc. (RPM); Univar Solutions Inc. (UNVR); U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (SLCA); and Venator Materials PLC (VNTR). Since the award grant date, Univar Solutions was acquired in 2023 and U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. was acquired in 2024. Therefore, the Capital Markets Peer Group excluded the results of these two companies for purposes of determining the final payout. Venator Materials PLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023 and TSR results for this company was counted as negative 100% TSR for the three-year period.
50% of the performance-based RSUs vested based upon the Company’s Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) in the third year of the measurement period (2025) for the three-year measurement period which covered calendar years 2023, 2024, and 2025. The Company’s 2025 ROIC was 0.0% that resulted in a 0.0% payout (below threshold) for this metric. The actual number of units that vested based on this metric equaled the aggregate number of shares granted multiplied by 50% and then multiplied by the 0.0% ROIC payout percentage.

2026 Long-Term Incentive Program
For 2026, the long-term incentive program maintains the same mix between time-based (50%) and performance-based RSUs (50%). The HRCC approved utilizing Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) as the two metrics for performance-based awards whereby 50% of the performance-based RSUs will be tied to each respective metric. TSR has been utilized as a long-term incentive Company financial metric for performance-based RSUs granted since 2019. The HRCC determined that the use of both TSR and ROIC continues to best balance the focus of our NEOs on achievement of building shareholder value and long-term profitable growth of the business.
For RSUs tied to TSR, the HRCC approved utilizing the same long-term incentive metric design utilized since the 2019 TSR RSU awards (3-year TSR performance of the Capital Markets Peer Group versus Company TSR performance). The HRCC continues to support using the Capital Markets Peer Group for long-term incentives as this peer group better reflects companies that have similar market characteristics, economics (margins, capital intensity, and cycle dynamics), and trade at similar EBITDA multiples, regardless of company size.
For RSUs tied to ROIC, the HRCC approved utilizing ROIC in the third year of the measurement period as the performance metric.
U.S. Savings & Retirement Plans
All our U.S. employees, including our U.S. executive officers, are eligible to participate in our savings plans. These plans are intended to provide our employees, including our executive officers, with the opportunity to save for retirement and have the Company contribute to these savings.
We sponsor a tax-qualified retirement savings plan (the “Savings Plan”) pursuant to which all our U.S.-based employees, including our U.S. based executive officers, are able to contribute the lesser of up to 85% of their annual salary or the limit prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service to the Savings Plan on a before-tax basis. During 2024, the Company matched 100% of the first 6% of pay that each employee contributed. In addition, there was a discretionary profit-sharing Company contribution to the Savings Plan of 6% of employee’s eligible compensation. All contributions to the Savings Plan, as well as any Company matching contributions, are fully vested upon contribution. All Company profit sharing contributions vest after three years of service.
In addition to the Savings Plan, U.S. executive officers and certain other eligible executives can participate in a nonqualified retirement savings plan (the “Savings Restoration Plan”). Pursuant to the Savings Restoration Plan, the Company will contribute at the appropriate level to the Savings Restoration Plan on a before-tax basis any amounts that would be provided under the Savings Plan but for limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on qualified retirement plans. Also, U.S. executive officers and certain other eligible executives can participate in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, which allows deferral of up to 20% of base salary and annual bonus.
Tronox also sponsors a qualified defined benefit retirement plan (the “Qualified Plan”) for its U.S. employees, which was frozen in April 2009, following Tronox Incorporated’s filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. As part of Tronox’s Plan of Reorganization, the Qualified Plan is frozen going forward and the Savings Plans are our sole employee retirement plans. Messrs. Romano and Engle are the only NEOs participating in this plan as described in the Pension Benefits as of December 31, 2025 table.

Other Compensation Practices
Compensation Recoupment Policy
In October 2023, the HRCC approved a new Company recoupment or “claw-back” policy in compliance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange requirements. Under the claw-back policy, the Company may recoup “excess” incentive compensation, if any, earned by current and former executive officers during three year look back period in the event of a financial restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws (with no fault required). The foregoing summary of the Claw-back policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the claw-back policy, a copy of which can be found as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), compensation paid to each of the CEO, the CFO, and certain of our other current or former named executive officers (together, “covered employees”)” that exceeds $1 million per taxable year is generally non-deductible. Although the HRCC may review and consider tax implications as one factor in determining executive compensation, the HRCC also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to provide compensation for the Company’s covered employees in a manner consistent with the goals of the Company’s executive compensation program and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which may include providing for compensation that is not deductible by the Company due to the deduction limit under Section 162(m) of the Code.
Annual Equity Grant Timing Practices
We make equity grants to our NEOs under our shareholder-approved Equity Incentive Plan on pre-established dates pursuant to our equity grant guidelines. Each year, the HRCC approves the dollar value of the annual awards to our NEOs and other direct reports of our CEO at its regularly-scheduled February meeting. The HRCC has delegated authority to our CEO to make annual grants, within certain parameters, to all other LTIP eligible employees, and at quarterly intervals to newly hired or newly promoted LTIP eligible employees as required. The grant date varies each year, but is typically before the end of the month in which the grants were approved by the HRCC. The grant price is the “fair market value” of a share of our ordinary shares on the grant date, which we define as the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the grant date.
Post Termination and Change of Control
Pursuant to relevant employment agreements and subject to applicable UK law, we are obligated to make certain payments to our executive officers and/or accelerate the vesting of their equity awards upon a termination of their employment, including termination of their employment in connection with a Change of Control. For further details on these arrangements, please refer to the sections “—Potential Payments upon Termination” and “—Employment Agreements.” We offer the benefits provided by such employment agreements, the retirement plans and awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan upon a change of control in order to be competitive with other employers who provide similar or enhanced benefits and to diminish the potential distraction due to personal uncertainties and risks that are inevitable in a Change of Control situation or threat. We believe that maintaining such benefits will help keep the management team focused on our performance and the benefit to the shareholders in the event of a Change of Control.
Moreover, under the UK Companies Act 2006, a payment for loss of office may not be made to a person who is, or has been, a director of Tronox Holdings unless either: (a) the payment is consistent with the Company’s approved directors’ remuneration policy prepared in accordance with the UK Companies Act 2006; (b) the payment is approved by resolution of the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the UK Companies Act 2006; or (c) an exemption applies. The Company’s directors’ remuneration policy was approved by shareholders in 2023.
Risk Assessment and Monitoring
The HRCC has analyzed and continues to monitor whether our compensation practices with respect to executive officers or any of our employees create incentives for risk-taking that could harm Tronox or its

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
business. Our compensation programs and policies mitigate risk and guard against undue risk-taking through careful balancing of short-term and long-term incentive compensation opportunities and by employing different and diverse performance measures in each compensation plan. The combination of performance measures for annual bonuses and the equity compensation programs as well as the multiyear vesting schedules for equity awards encourage employees to maintain both a short and a long-term view with respect to company performance. The HRCC has determined that none of our compensation practices creates a risk that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Human Resources and Compensation Committee Report
The HRCC of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the HRCC has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. This report is provided by the following independent Directors, who comprise the HRCC.

Mr. Romano was appointed Chief Executive Officer effective April 1, 2024.
 (2)
In February 2025, the Board approved a salary increase for our CEO and the HRCC approved salary increases for the other NEOs. However, management decided to forgo these increases for 2025.
 (3)
Amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value for our shares (without a discount to reflect the risk of some or all of the performance vested shares not vesting) in each respective year computed in accordance with the share-based accounting guidance under ASC Topic 718. Further information regarding the 2025 awards is included in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards During 2025” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2025” tables appearing later in this Proxy Statement. Further details related to these awards can be found in the “Long Term Incentive Plan” section in this Proxy Statement. For assumptions for these awards, please see Note 22 to our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 108 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
 (4)
Amounts reflected in this column represent the incentive compensation earned for each year’s performance against predetermined objectives. Amounts also include payments that were deferred at the election of the NEOs under the terms of the Savings Restoration Plan. For 2024 AIP paid in 2025, the NEOs did not defer any amount of this payout.
 (5)
Messrs. Romano and Engle are the only NEOs that participate in the Tronox Inc. Retirement plan. The present value of accumulated benefits as of December 31, 2025 was determined using the estimated ASC 715 assumptions in effect on December 31, 2025. The ASC 715 discount rate was 5.52%. Our deferred compensation program does not allow for above-market earnings and therefore there is no value included for this amount. Includes the actuarial increases/decreases in the present values of the named executive officer’s benefits under our pension plans determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements. For a full description of the pension plan assumptions used by us for financial reporting purposes, see Note 23 to our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 109 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

For performance-based units granted on February 19, 2025, the payout for 50% of the performance-based RSUs is determined at the end of the three-year measurement period based on the percentile rank of our TSR (defined as share price appreciation plus dividends reinvested) as compared to companies in the “Capital Markets Peer Group”. The payout for 50% of the performance-based awards is determined at the end of the three-year measurement period based on the Company’s 2027 ROIC. Further details regarding these grants can be found in the sections titled “Long-Term Incentive Program” and “2025 Long-Term Incentive Program”.
 (4)
Amounts in this column represent the number of time-based restricted units granted to the NEOs under the equity program. The units granted on February 19, 2025 vest one-third on March 5, 2026, March 5, 2027, and March 5, 2028.
 (5)
The amounts in this column have been calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For the grants made on February 19, 2025, the value of both the time-based restricted share units and 50% of total performance-based restricted share units (with ROIC metric) is the number of units granted multiplied by the closing price of our ordinary shares on the grant date of $8.06 and the value of 50% of total performance-based restricted share units (with TSR metric) is the number of units granted multiplied by the grant date fair value of $8.99 which was determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation and is 112% of the closing price of our ordinary shares on that date of $8.06.

PENSION BENEFITS
Messrs. Romano and Engle are participants in the Tronox Incorporated Retirement Plan. We maintain this Qualified Plan and related trust, which were frozen in April of 2009, for all U.S. employees. As part of Tronox Incorporated’s separation from Kerr-McGee, it established the retirement plan and the trusts related to our retirement plan and accepted the transfer of assets and liabilities from the corresponding trusts for the Kerr-McGee retirement plans. All employees received credit for their service as Kerr-McGee employees prior to the establishment of our retirement plan. All amounts set forth in the table below reflect normal retirement benefits that would be paid to each executive officer who is a participant in the Plan assuming the executive officer retired at the earliest retirement age that they could receive unreduced benefits (generally age 65). In addition, as part of the Cristal acquisition, we assumed Cristal’s U.S. Pension Plan which was frozen in December 2020 and merged into the Qualified Plan.

The years of credited service is fixed as of the date the plan was frozen in 2009.

The present value of accumulated benefits for the Tronox Incorporated Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2025 was determined using the estimated ASC 715 assumptions in effect on December 31, 2025. The ASC 715 discount rate was 5.52%.
The lump sum assumption for the Tronox Incorporated Retirement Plan is based on the most recently published IRS 417(e) interest rates available and mortality based on PPA 2024 optional combined, unisex.
The present value of accumulated benefit amount shown above is determined according to prescribed SEC assumptions and may not reflect the benefits actually payable from the retirement plan if the named executive had retired during the last fiscal year. The above present value assumes that the executive commences his accrued benefits at his earliest unreduced age under the plan provisions in effect at December 31, 2025.
Retirement benefits are calculated based upon years of service and “final average monthly compensation”. For benefits earned prior to January 1, 2009, an employee’s final average monthly compensation is the highest average compensation for any period of 36 consecutive calendar months out of the final 120 consecutive calendar months prior to that employee’s termination. For benefits earned beginning January 1, 2009, final average monthly compensation is the highest average compensation for any period of 60 consecutive calendar months out of the final 120 consecutive calendar months prior to that employee’s termination. Upon retirement, benefits are payable in a lump-sum or various annuity forms.
Tronox did not pay any retirement benefits to its NEOs in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
All U.S. employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our Savings Plan. In addition, we offer a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, known as the Savings Restoration Plan. This plan allows certain employees the ability to defer up to 20% of their base salary and/or their annual incentive award. This plan also provides Company match and profit sharing credits for compensation in excess of the IRS maximum limit. The Company match was 100% up to 6% of employee contributions and the profit-sharing match is 6%. Employees have immediate vesting of the Company match and the Company profit sharing match vests after three years of service. Distributions from the plan for employer contributions will be in the form of a lump sum and paid six months following separation from service. All payments from these plans are made from the general assets of the Company and no special fund or trust has been established for this money.
Employees who elect to defer any of their base salary or annual incentive award have their funds contributed into the Savings Restoration Plan. Employees elect the investment options for this money from the range of investment choices in the Savings Plan, including money market funds, equity funds, and bond funds. Because this is an unfunded plan, the investment elections are used only for the purpose of crediting earnings and determining the future benefit to be received from the plan. Distributions from the plan for employee contributions will be made either as a lump sum at a specified date in the future or within six months of separation from service.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 (1)
Resignation for Good Reason only applies to Mr. Romano.
 (2)
For Mr. Romano, Cash Severance amount is two times the sum of base salary plus target bonus for Involuntary without Cause Termination or Termination for Good Reason and three times the sum of base salary plus target bonus for Involuntary without Cause Termination or Termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control. For Messrs. Srivisal, Neuman, Engle, and AlJunaidi, Cash Severance amount is one times base salary plus target bonus for Involuntary without Cause Termination and two times base salary plus one times target bonus for Involuntary without Cause Termination following a Change in Control.
 (3)
Per each NEO’s employment agreement or company policy, accrued vacation (for all NEOs) and sick leave balances (for CEO only) will be paid out upon termination.
 (4)
Accrued Bonus is defined as the prorated incentive amount due for performance up to the date of termination. For this schedule, this amount is shown at target amounts for the full calendar year. However, for Mr. Romano, if his termination is due to Involuntary without Cause or for Good Reason, his actual payment will be based on actual time worked and actual performance results for the Company. For Messrs. Srivisal, Neuman, Engle, and AlJunaidi for all terminations other than voluntary and for cause (and for Mr. Romano for death or disability terminations), their actual payment will be based on actual time worked and target bonus amount.
 (5)
The treatment of the Restricted Share Units is based on the Company’s Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan, award agreement, or employment agreement. For Death and Disability, all outstanding units, including performance-based units will vest immediately (performance-based units vest at target levels). For Involuntary without Cause Terminations (and for Mr. Romano, this includes Termination for Good Reason), if the termination date is before the March 5 of the calendar year following the grant date, then the grant of performance-based RSUs is forfeited. If the termination date is on or after the March 5 of the calendar year following the grant date, a pro-rated portion (pro-rated based on time worked from Grant date to Termination date) of the unvested performance-based RSUs that would have been eligible to vest on the vesting date will remain outstanding and be eligible to vest on the normally scheduled vest date based upon the Company’s actual performance. The portion of the unvested time-based RSUs that would have become vested on the next regularly scheduled time-based vesting date, for example March 5, 2026, is pro-rated based on time worked from the Grant date (or last vesting date of the previous tranche) to Termination date. In the event of Involuntary without Cause Terminations resulting from a Change in Control, all outstanding units, including performance-based units, will vest immediately; value of performance-based units is based on target number of performance-based units. For Mr. Romano, the Change in Control termination window is any time during the 90-day period preceding, or twenty-four (24) month period following a change in control of the Company. For all other NEOs, the Change in Control termination window is any time during the twenty-four (24) month period following a change in control of the Company. Amounts are calculated using December 31, 2025 NYSE closing price of our stock of $4.17. Includes dividend equivalent payments for RSUs that vest on December 31, 2025.
 (6)
None of our NEOs have any unvested options.
 (7)
For Mr. Romano, the Company will pay 100% of their healthcare premiums for a maximum of 18 months.
 (8)
Pension benefits are calculated as the lump-sum walk-away value under the U.S. Pension Plan. The lump-sum assumption is based on IRS 417(e) interest rates and mortality using a one-year stability period with a two-month look-back period.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
CEO PAY RATIO
The Company has selected December 31 of each fiscal year as the determination date for the calculation of the CEO pay ratio.
Our methodology for identifying the median employee for the 2025 determination date (December 31, 2025) included the following:
Our total global employee workforce was 6,230, and we did not exclude any employees (other than our CEO) from this total using permitted exceptions.
We used a consistently applied compensation measure of “annual total compensation paid”. We collected annual total compensation paid information for calendar year 2025 from each of our respective payroll registers for all employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Annual total compensation paid generally included an employee’s gross income, including wages, overtime, bonuses and other cash incentives paid during 2025, allowances, employer retirement contributions, benefits, and equity vests.
We then converted these amounts in local currencies to U.S. dollars by applying the exchange rate as of the determination date.
We annualized total compensation paid for our new and mid-year hires and for those employees on unpaid leave for any period of time during the respective measurement period.
We then sorted the annual total compensation paid for each employee (excluding the CEO) from lowest to highest and identified the employee who was paid the median 2025 annual total compensation paid amount. Our fiscal year 2025 median employee is employed in Saudi Arabia at our Yanbu location.
For the median employee, we then excluded 2024 bonus paid in 2025 and included bonus attributable to fiscal year 2025 and calculated total compensation for 2025 for purposes of calculating the CEO pay ratio.
Our analysis determined that our median employee earned $68,061 in total compensation for 2025 and the total compensation value as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 for Mr. Romano was $8,254,510. Based on this information, the ratio of CEO to median employee pay was 121 to 1 for Mr. Romano.
As the SEC rules allow for companies to adopt a wide range of methodologies to calculate their CEO pay ratio, therefore, the estimated ratio should not be used as a basis for comparison to that of other companies.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
The table below provides the following information regarding compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers (NEOs) as required by the SEC for five fiscal years (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025):
Total Compensation from the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) for our CEO, former Co-CEO, former CEO, and other NEOs.
Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) for our CEO, former Co-CEO, and former CEO and “Average CAP” for all other NEOs calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Footnotes (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) below set forth the adjustments from the Total Compensation for NEOs reported in the Summary Compensation Table. The dollar amounts are presented in accordance with the SEC rules and hence do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by, or paid to, each NEO during the applicable year.
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for both Tronox and the Company Selected Peer Group (S&P Midcap 400 Chemicals Index) as reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Each year reflects what the cumulative value of $100 would be, including the reinvestment of dividends, if such amount had been invested on December 31, 2020.
Net income attributable to Tronox Holdings plc as reported in accordance with US GAAP.
The financial metric we selected as the most important for linking CAP to performance: Adjusted EBITDA. We selected this metric because it also represents a significant weighting (20%) of the NEOs’ overall AIP target payout opportunity.

Mr. Quinn requested, and the Board approved, a leave of absence starting December 27, 2020, during which period he continued to receive his salary. Messrs. Turgeon and Romano were each appointed as Interim Co-CEO during the period of Mr. Quinn’s leave of absence. On March 18, 2021, the Company entered into a retirement agreement with Mr. Quinn pursuant to which he retired from his positions with Tronox at which point Messrs. Turgeon and Romano were appointed permanent Co-CEOs of the Company and received the same compensation including salary, AIP payouts and equity grants since this date. Effective April 1, 2024, Mr. Romano became the Company’s sole CEO and effective April 1, 2024 Mr. Turgeon retired from the Company and transitioned to become a board member as of April 2, 2024.
 (2)
Our other NEOs for which SCT Total Compensation and CAP are shown as an average in the table above include the following individuals: For 2025, Messrs. Srivisal, Neuman, Engle, and AlJunaidi. For 2024, Messrs. Srivisal, Neuman, Engle, AlJunaidi, and Austin and Ms. Zona; for 2023, Messrs. Neuman, Srivisal, Austin, Engle, and Carlson; and for 2022 and 2021, Messrs. Carlson, Neuman, Srivisal, and Austin. For 2024, if Mr. Austin and Ms. Zona (both separated from the Company during 2024) were excluded, the Average SCT Total would be $1,845,802 and the Average CAP would be $1,110,314. For 2023, if Mr. Carlson (retired in April 2023 and received no LTIP award in 2023) was excluded, the Average SCT Total would be $1,768,752 and the Average CAP would be $1,588,413.
 (3)
For the portion of Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) that is based on year-end stock prices, the following prices were used: for 2025: $4.17 (58.6% reduction from prior year), for 2024: $10.07 (31.1% reduction from prior year), for 2023: $14.16 (3.3% increase from prior year), for 2022: $13.71 (42.9% reduction from prior year), for 2021: $24.03 (64.4% increase from prior year), and for 2020: $14.62 (28.0% increase from prior year).

Company Selected Metric is Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) as net income (loss) excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, interest income and depreciation, depletion and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the impact of nonrecurring items such as restructuring charges, gain or loss on debt extinguishments, impairment charges, gains or losses on sale of assets, acquisition-related transaction costs and pension settlements and curtailment gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes non-cash items such as share-based compensation costs, pension and postretirement costs, and realized and unrealized foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Pay for Performance Alignment
We list below the most important financial measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs for 2025 to Company performance. These measures are used to determine the AIP payouts or long-term incentive vesting for each of the NEOs. For further information regarding these performance measures and their function in our executive compensation program, please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 0 of this proxy statement. The following most important performance measures are not ranked by relative importance:
EBITDA
EBITDA Margin
Relative Total Shareholder Return versus Peers
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
The following graphs further illustrate the relationship between the pay and performance figures that are included in the pay versus performance tabular disclosure above. As noted above, “compensation actually paid” for purposes of the tabular disclosure and the following graphs were calculated in accordance with SEC rules and do not fully represent the actual final amount of compensation earned by, or actually paid to, our NEOs during the applicable years.
Relationship between CAP and Company/Peer Group TSR. In the chart below, the calculated CAP for the CEO (for 2024 this includes the CEO and former Co-CEO as separate and for years 2021 to 2023 this includes both the Co-CEOs (shown as an aggregate amount)) and the other NEOs is correlated with both the Company’s TSR and the Peer Group’s TSR (S&P Midcap 400 Chemicals Index) for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The data shows significant alignment because a significant component of our NEOs’ compensation is in the form of equity. In addition, the impact of equity incentive compensation is even greater for our CEO (and historically for the Co-CEOs) because the portion of his compensation that is delivered in the form of equity incentives is even greater than the equity portion of compensation for the other NEOs. Tronox grants its NEOs equity awards in the long-term incentive compensation plan in order to align the value of our executives’ outstanding and unvested awards with shareholder interests.

For 2022, the CAP decreased significantly driven primarily by a 42.9% decrease in the stock price from $24.03 at the end of 2021 to $13.71 at the end of 2022. In addition, the projected payout of the performance-based ROIC RSUs granted in 2022 was reduced to 0%.

For 2023, the CAP increased primarily from a board-approved increase in LTIP for the Co-CEOs and an increase in the value of the equity that vested during 2023 at a stock price of $16.24 versus prior fiscal year-end stock price of $13.71. Regarding the value of outstanding equity awards granted in prior years, the impact of the increase in the year-end stock price from 2022 ($13.71) to 2023 ($14.16) was more than offset by a decrease in projected vesting percent (200%) versus actual vesting percent (95.3%) of the RSUs granted in 2021 whose payout in 2024 was tied to Tronox’s ROIC and a decrease in the Monte Carlo valuation ($14.09 as of year-end 2022 to $6.21 as of year-end 2023) of the TSR RSUs granted in 2022.

For 2024, the CEO received a larger LTIP award as a result of his promotion to sole CEO, but this increase was offset primarily due to the decrease in the value of outstanding equity awards from prior years. This decrease in equity value included the Company’s stock price decrease of 29% (from $14.16 at the end of 2023 to $10.07 at the end of 2024), 100% forfeiture of the performance-based TSR RSUs granted in 2022 with performance period ending December 31, 2024, the decrease in the Monte Carlo valuation of the TSR RSUs granted in 2023 by 53% (from $18.93 at the end of 2023 to $8.93 at the end of 2024) and 100% forfeiture at the end of 2024 of the ROIC RSUs granted in 2023. For the other NEOs, the increase in 2024 SCT values as a result of separation payments of two of the other NEOs were also offset primarily due to the decrease in value of outstanding equity awards from prior years.

For 2025, the CAP decreased driven primarily by a 59% decrease in the stock price from $10.07 at the end of 2024 to $4.17 at the end of 2025. In addition, 100% forfeiture of the performance-based
75

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
TSR RSUs granted in 2023 with performance period ending December 31, 2025, the decrease in the Monte Carlo valuation of the TSR RSUs granted in 2024 by 89% (from $10.49 at the end of 2024 to $1.11 at the end of 2025) and the projected vesting percentage of the ROIC RSUs granted in 2024 decreased from 100% at the end of 2024 to 0% at the end of 2025 also contributed to the decrease in CAP for both the CEO and NEOs.


Relationship between CAP and Net Income. As shown in the chart below, the Company’s net income attributable to Tronox Holdings plc increased from 2021 to 2022, then decreased from 2022 to 2023, then increased from 2023 to 2024, and then decreased from 2024 to 2025. This measure is not directly correlated to CAP for the CEO (and historically for the Co-CEOs) and the other NEOs. As described above, changes in the Company’s year-end stock price have a significant impact on CAP primarily because the portion of compensation paid in the form of equity is high. Notably, the Company does not use net income as a measure in our AIP or LTIP.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Relationship between CAP and Selected Financial Measure. As shown in the chart below, the Company’s selected financial measure (Adjusted EBITDA), as a result of the global economic downturn in 2022, and in particular, the downturn in end market demand for TiO2 during the second half of 2022, decreased from 2021 to 2022, again significantly decreased from 2022 to 2023, then slightly increased from 2023 to 2024, and then significantly decreased from 2024 to 2025 from continued low end market demand in addition to industry and macroeconomic challenges. This measure directly correlates to CAP for both the CEO (and historically for the Co-CEOs) and the other NEOs by impacting their AIP payout (from 2021 to 2024, this measure was incorporated as “Adjusted EBITDA less Cap Ex” and had a weighting of 40% of target AIP and for 2025 “Adjusted EBITDA” measure was specifically weighted as 20% of target AIP). As noted above, Tronox stock price also significantly impacts CAP for our NEOs.

For 2022, the CAP decreased significantly driven primarily by a 42.9% decrease in the stock price from $24.03 at the end of 2021 to $13.71 at the end of 2022. In addition, the projected payout of the performance-based ROIC RSUs granted in 2022 was reduced to 0%.

For 2023, the CAP increased primarily from a board-approved increase in LTIP for the Co-CEOs and an increase in the value of the equity that vested during 2023 at a stock price of $16.24 versus prior fiscal year-end stock price of $13.71. Regarding the value of outstanding equity awards granted in prior years, the impact of the increase in the year-end stock price from 2022 ($13.71) to 2023 ($14.16) was more than offset by a decrease in projected vesting percent (200%) versus actual vesting percent (95.3%) of the ROIC RSUs granted in 2021 and a decrease in the Monte Carlo valuation ($14.09 as of year-end 2022 to $6.21 as of year-end 2023) of the TSR RSUs granted in 2022.

For 2024, the CEO received a larger LTIP award as a result of his promotion to sole CEO, but this increase was offset primarily due to the decrease in the value of outstanding equity awards from prior years. This decrease in equity value included the Company’s stock price decrease of 29% (from $14.16 at the end of 2023 to $10.07 at the end of 2024), 100% forfeiture of the performance-based TSR RSUs granted in 2022 with performance period ending December 31, 2024, the decrease in the Monte Carlo valuation of the TSR RSUs granted in 2023 by 53% (from $18.93 at the end of 2023 to $8.93 at the end of 2024) and 100% forfeiture at the end of 2024 of the ROIC RSUs granted in 2023. For the other NEOs, the increase in 2024 SCT values as a result of separation payments of two of the other NEOs were also offset primarily due to the decrease in value of outstanding equity awards from prior years.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For 2025, the CAP decreased driven primarily by a 59% decrease in the stock price from $10.07 at the end of 2024 to $4.17 at the end of 2025. In addition, 100% forfeiture of the performance-based TSR RSUs granted in 2023 with performance period ending December 31, 2025, the decrease in the Monte Carlo valuation of the TSR RSUs granted in 2024 by 89% (from $10.49 at the end of 2024 to $1.11 at the end of 2025) and the projected vesting percentage of the ROIC RSUs granted in 2024 decreased from 100% at the end of 2024 to 0% at the end of 2025 also contributed to the decrease in CAP for both the CEO and NEOs.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and its internal and external audit processes. The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that it devotes the attention necessary to each of the matters assigned to it under its charter.
In discharging its oversight responsibility, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the independent registered public accounting firm’s report on those financial statements and report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, with our management and with PwC our independent registered public accounting firm. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Audit Committee has discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed under Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
As part of its responsibilities for oversight of risk management, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed Company policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including discussions of individual risk areas.
The Audit Committee recognizes the importance of maintaining the independence of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Consistent with its charter, the Audit Committee has evaluated PwC’s qualifications, performance, and independence, including that of the lead audit partner. The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee, and has discussed with PwC, its independence from the Company.
Based on the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 3–RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We are asking shareholders to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (U.S.) (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The accounting firm of PwC has been appointed by our Audit Committee as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026. Although the appointment of PwC does not require ratification, the Board of Directors has directed that the appointment of PwC be submitted to the shareholders for ratification because we value our shareholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance. A representative of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In the event that shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the audit committee will reconsider the appointment.
The accompanying proxy will be voted for the ratification of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm unless the shareholder indicates to the contrary on the proxy.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.

The following table shows the fees for professional services rendered by PwC for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and fees billed for other services rendered by PwC during those periods:

PROPOSAL 3–RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent accountants must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee to assure that such services do not impair the accountants’ independence from the Company. Accordingly, all audit and non-audit services provided by PwC to us must be pre-approved in advance by our Audit Committee unless the following conditions are met:
The service is one of a set of permitted services that the independent registered public accounting firm is allowed to provide; and
The services must be brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the annual audit.
All other permitted services must be pre-approved by either the Audit Committee or a delegate of the Audit Committee. If pre-approval is obtained from a delegate of the Audit Committee, the service may be performed provided that the service must be presented to the Audit Committee at the next scheduled meeting. In 2025 and 2024, all the fees paid to our independent auditors were approved in advance by the Audit Committee.

PROPOSAL 4–VOTE TO RECEIVE THE ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS
Along with this Proxy Statement, we are providing shareholders with our U.K. audited annual report and accounts and related directors’ and auditor’s reports for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 which are included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement (the “Annual Report and Accounts”).
Under the U.K. Companies Act 2006 (the “Companies Act”), we are required to present the Annual Report and Accounts at a meeting of shareholders, which include the U.K. statutory audited annual accounts and related directors’ and auditor’s reports for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and we are providing our shareholders at the Annual Meeting an opportunity to receive the Annual Report and Accounts. The Annual Report and Accounts will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in the U.K. following the Annual Meeting.
We will also provide our shareholders an opportunity at the Annual Meeting to ask relevant questions of the representative of PwC in attendance at the Annual Meeting.
The following resolution is submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the shareholders hereby receive, on an advisory basis, Tronox Holdings plc’s annual report and accounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, together with the reports of the directors and the auditors thereon.”
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution. Please note that this vote is advisory and not binding on us or the Board in any way.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the receipt of the Annual Report and Accounts for fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

PROPOSAL 5–VOTE TO APPROVE THE U.K. DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION POLICY
The ordinary resolution in this proposal is required to approve the Company’s U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy as set out in the Company’s U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report. Pursuant to the Companies Act, we are required to obtain binding shareholder approval of our U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy and we are therefore seeking such binding approval at the Annual Meeting. We are required subsequently, pursuant to the Companies Act, to seek re-approval for the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy at least every three years, provided that it remains unchanged during this time. The Company’s last UK Directors’ Remuneration Policy was approved at our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders and we are therefore seeking the approval of the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy at this Annual Meeting. The Directors’ U.K. Remuneration Policy proposed for approval by shareholders at the Annual Meeting is substantially consistent with the prior policy approved by our shareholders at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders. Where any material changes from the prior policy are proposed these are shown as indicated.
We are asking shareholders to approve our prospective U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy, which is set out on pages A-88 to A-99 of the Directors’ Remuneration Report contained in the Annual Report and Accounts included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy describes our forward-looking policy on directors’ remuneration, including the components of the remuneration of our executive and non-executive directors and information on the provision of payments for loss of office to our CEO currently in place under severance arrangements. We believe that our U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy will serve to attract, motivate and retain key executives who are important to our long-term success.
In accordance with the Companies Act, the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy has been approved by and signed on behalf of the Board. We encourage shareholders to read the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy.
The following resolution is submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Policy as set out on pages A-88 to A-99 of the Directors’ Remuneration Report as included in Tronox Holdings plc’s annual report and accounts for the year ended December 31, 2025.”
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution.
If the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy is approved at the Annual Meeting, it will take effect immediately and will be valid for three financial years without the need for new shareholder approval, unless changes are proposed. All payments by us to our directors and former directors (in their capacity as directors) will be made in accordance with the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy, unless a payment has been separately approved by the shareholders.
If the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy is not approved at the Annual Meeting, we will incur additional expenses to comply with English law as we will be required to hold additional shareholder meetings until the policy is approved. In addition, if the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy is not approved, we may not be able to pay expected compensation to our directors which could materially harm our ability to retain top executive and non-executive directors and manage our business.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Policy as contained in the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report.

PROPOSAL 6–VOTE TO APPROVE, AS A NON-BINDING ADVISORY RESOLUTION, THE U.K. DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
The Company is required, pursuant to the Companies Act, to seek an annual non-binding advisory vote from its shareholders to approve the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report.
We are therefore asking our shareholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report has been approved by and signed on behalf of the Board and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in the U.K. following the Annual Meeting.
This proposal is similar to Proposal 2 in respect of the compensation of our NEOs, however, the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report solely considers the remuneration of our executive and non-executive directors as is required under the Companies Act during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
We encourage shareholders to read the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report, which can be found in pages A-99 to A-113 of the Annual Report and Accounts contained in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
The following resolution is submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, to approve, on an advisory basis, the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 as included in Tronox Holdings plc’s annual report and accounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.”
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution.
Please note that this vote is advisory and not binding on our company or the Board in any way. Our directors’ entitlement to receive remuneration is not conditional on it and payments made or promised to directors will not have to be repaid, reduced, or withheld in the event that the resolution is not passed.
The resolution and vote are a means of providing shareholder feedback to the Board. The Board values shareholders’ feedback, and the HRCC and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee, respectively, will review and consider the outcome of the vote in connection with its ongoing review of our executive director and non-executive director compensation programs.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the advisory approval of the U.K. Directors’ Remuneration Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as included in the Annual Report and Accounts.

PROPOSAL 7–RE-APPOINTMENT OF OUR U.K. STATUTORY AUDITOR
The statutory auditor of an English-incorporated company is responsible for conducting the statutory audit of such company’s U.K. statutory accounts in accordance with the Companies Act.
Under the Companies Act, our U.K. statutory auditor must be appointed at each meeting at which the annual report and accounts are presented to shareholders. Our current U.K. statutory auditor is PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and our Audit Committee has approved their re-appointment to serve as our U.K. statutory auditor for 2026. We are asking shareholders to approve the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers U.K. to hold office from the conclusion of the Annual Meeting until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which the annual report and accounts are laid.
The following resolution is submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Tronox Holdings plc’s U.K. statutory auditor under the U.K. Companies Act 2006, to hold office from the conclusion of the annual general meeting held on April 28, 2026 until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which the annual report and accounts are laid be, and it hereby is, approved.
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution.
If the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers U.K. as our U.K. statutory auditor is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Board may appoint an auditor to fill the vacancy.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (U.K.) as our statutory auditor to hold office until the conclusion of the next general meeting at which the annual report and accounts are laid.

PROPOSAL 8–AUTHORIZATION OF THE

Under the Companies Act, the remuneration of our U.K. statutory auditor must be fixed in a general meeting or in such manner as may be determined in a general meeting.
We are asking our shareholders to authorize the Board to determine the remuneration of PwC U.K. in its capacity as our U.K. statutory auditor. It is proposed that, going forward, the Board would delegate this authority to determine the remuneration of our U.K. statutory auditor to the Audit Committee in accordance with the Board’s procedures and applicable law.
The following resolution is submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the directors on the board of, or the Audit Committee of, Tronox Holdings plc be, and they hereby are, authorized to determine PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s remuneration as Tronox Holdings plc’s U.K. statutory auditor.”
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 9–AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD TO ALLOT SHARES
The resolution described in this Proposal 9 is required under the Companies Act for the Company to have the on-going flexibility to allot shares or to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares and is customary for public limited companies incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. This authorization is required as a matter of English law and is an additional step not generally required when companies organized within the United States are issuing shares.
Under the Companies Act, directors are, with certain exceptions, unable to allot, or issue, shares without being authorized either by the shareholders in a general meeting or by the company’s articles of association. In either case, any such authorization may only last for a maximum period of 5 years. The Company’s existing authorization (granted pursuant to a shareholder resolution passed on May 7, 2025) expires at the end of this 2026 Annual General Meeting.
The directors have no present intention to exercise the authority sought under this resolution other than to satisfy awards under the Company’s incentive schemes in the ordinary course of business. However, the directors believe that it is important for the Company to retain the flexibility to allot shares on an accelerated basis should circumstances change and the directors determine it is necessary or advisable and in the best interests of shareholders, without incurring the costs or delays associated with calling a special meeting and preparing and circulating proxy materials to approve specific allotments of shares.
The Company therefore proposes that the shareholders at the 2026 Annual Meeting provide the directors of the Company with a new authorization to allot shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of $317,115, which represents an amount that is approximately 20% of the Company’s existing issued share capital as of March 3, 2026. If granted, this authorization will replace the existing authorization passed on May 7, 2025 and will expire at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date on which the resolution is passed, which is in line with the approach taken by public companies listed in the UK. Going forward, the Company intends to seek renewal of this authorization at each year’s annual general meeting.
The following resolution is submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, to generally and unconditionally authorize the directors, for the purposes of section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the “Companies Act”) to exercise all powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares in the Company up to an aggregate nominal amount of 317,115, provided that:
(A)
(unless previously revoked, varied or renewed by the Company) this authority will expire at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date on which this resolution is passed, save that the directors may, before this authority expires, make offers or agreements which would or might require shares in the Company to be allotted, or rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, shares to be granted, after its expiry and the directors may allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, shares pursuant to such offers or agreements as if this authority had not expired, and
(B)
this authority replaces all subsisting authorities previously granted to the directors for the purposes of section 551 of the Companies Act which, to the extent unused at the date of this resolution, are revoked with immediate effect without prejudice to any allotment of shares or grant of rights already made, offered or agreed to be made under such authorities.”
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution.
The approval of this resolution by the Company’s shareholders will not substitute for any approvals that may be required for a specific transaction under any applicable NYSE listing rules.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the authorization of the Board to allot shares.
87

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 10–AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD TO ALLOT SHARES WITHOUT RIGHTS OF PRE-EMPTION
This action, like Proposal 9, is required because the Company is incorporated in England and Wales. Under the Companies Act, when an allotment of shares is for cash, the Company must first offer those shares on the same terms to existing shareholders of the Company on a pro-rata basis (commonly referred to as statutory pre-emption rights) unless disapplied by authorization of the shareholders in a general meeting or by the company’s articles of association. In either case, any such disapplication may only last for a maximum period of 5 years. The Company’s existing disapplication (granted pursuant to a shareholder resolution passed on May 7, 2025) expires at the end of this 2026 Annual General Meeting.
The requirement to first offer shares to existing shareholders is an additional step not generally required when companies domiciled in the United States are issuing securities. The directors believe that it is important for the Company to retain the flexibility to issue shares for cash on an accelerated basis should the directors determine it is necessary or advisable and in the best interests of shareholders, without incurring the costs or delays associated with calling a special meeting and preparing and circulating proxy materials to disapply pre-emption rights in connection with specific allotments of shares.
The directors have no present intention to exercise the authority sought under this resolution other than to satisfy awards under the Company’s incentive schemes in the ordinary course of business, but believe it is in the interests of shareholders for the directors to have this flexibility to allot shares for cash, should circumstances change.
In this proposal, the Company is requesting that when the Board allots (issues) shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal amount of $317,115, which is equivalent to approximately 20% of the Company’s existing issued share capital as of March 3, 2026, it not be required to offer pre-emption rights to existing shareholders.
If granted, this authorization will replace the existing authorization passed on May 7, 2025 and will expire at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date on which the resolution is passed, which is in line with the approach taken by public companies listed in the UK. The Company intends to seek renewal of this authorization at each year’s annual general meeting.
The following resolution is submitted as a special resolution for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that, subject to the passing of resolution 9 and in accordance with sections 570 and 573 of the Companies Act, to empower the directors generally to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the Companies Act) for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by resolution 9, and/or to sell ordinary shares (as defined in section 560 of the Companies Act) held by the Company as treasury shares for cash, in each case as if section 561 of the Companies Act (existing shareholders’ pre-emption rights) did not apply to any such allotment or sale, provided that this power is limited to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal amount of $317,115, provided that:
(A)
(unless previously revoked, varied or renewed by the Company) this power will expire at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date on which this resolution is passed, save that the directors may, before this power expires, make offers or agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted and/or treasury shares to be sold after its expiry and the directors may allot equity securities and/or sell treasury shares pursuant to such offers or agreement as if this power had not expired; and
(B)
this power replaces (except for any power conferred by resolution 9) all subsisting powers previously granted to the directors for the purposes of section 570 of the Companies Act which, to the extent unused at the date of this resolution, are revoked with immediate effect, without prejudice to any allotment of equity securities already made, offered or agreed to be made under such powers.”
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of 75% (or more) of the total ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution.

PROPOSAL 11–APPROVAL OF FORMS OF SHARE REPURCHASE CONTRACTS AND COUNTERPARTIES
Under the Companies Act, we may only repurchase ordinary shares in accordance with specific procedures for “off-market purchases” of such shares because, and solely for the purposes of the Companies Act, any repurchase of our shares through the NYSE constitutes an “off-market” transaction. As such, these repurchases may only be made pursuant to a form of share repurchase contract that has been approved by our shareholders. In addition, we must only conduct share repurchases under these contracts through counterparties approved by our shareholders. Approval of the forms of contracts and counterparties is not an approval of the share repurchase program or the amount or timing of any repurchase activity (subject to the limits set forth below). The Company will repurchase shares at its discretion in accordance with a repurchase program to be approved by the Board. There can be no assurance as to whether the Company will repurchase any of its shares or as to the amount of any such repurchases or the prices at which such repurchases may be made, save as set out below.
Material Contract Terms
We are seeking approval of two share repurchase contract forms. The form of agreement attached as Annex B to this proxy statement provides that the counterparty will purchase shares on the NYSE at such prices and in such quantities as Tronox may instruct from time to time, subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, as amended. The agreement provides that the counterparty will purchase the ordinary shares as principal and sell any ordinary shares purchased to Tronox in record form.
The form of agreement attached as Annex C to this proxy statement is a form of repurchase plan that we may execute from time to time to purchase a specified dollar amount of ordinary shares on the NYSE each day if our ordinary shares are trading below a specified price. The amount to be purchased each day, the limit price and the total amount that may be purchased under the agreement will be determined at the time the agreement is executed (subject to the limits set forth below). The agreement provides that the counterparty will purchase the ordinary shares as principal and sell any ordinary shares purchased to Tronox in record form.
Counterparties for Approval
We may only enter into share repurchase contracts with counterparties approved by our shareholders. As a result, we are seeking approval to conduct repurchases through any of the counterparties (or their subsidiaries or affiliates from time to time) set out in Annex D to this proxy statement. Copies of the share repurchase contracts and the list of repurchase counterparties will be made available for shareholders to inspect at the Company’s registered office at Laporte Road, Stallingborough, Grimsby DN40 2PR, United Kingdom for the period of 15 days ending on the date of the Annual Meeting. Copies of the share repurchase contracts and list of repurchase counterparties also will be available for inspection at the Annual Meeting.
Under the UK Companies Act, we must seek authorization for share repurchase contracts and counterparties at least every five years. The Company intends to seek authorization for this proposal on an annual basis. If this proposal is approved, we may repurchase shares pursuant to the form of contracts attached at Annex B and Annex C with the approved counterparties set out in Annex D until the end of the Annual Meeting of the Company to be held in 2027 or the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date on which this resolution is passed, whichever is the earlier.
In February 2024, the Board authorized a share repurchase program up to $300 million which program shall expire in February 2027. As of the date hereof, the Company has not repurchased any ordinary shares pursuant to this share repurchase program. To the extent the Board believes that our shares may be undervalued at the market levels at which they are then trading, repurchases of our share capital may represent an attractive investment for us. The reduction in our issued capital resulting from any such purchases would increase the proportionate interest of the remaining shareholders in our net worth and whatever future profits we may earn. However, the number of shares repurchased, if any, and the timing and manner of any repurchases would be determined by the Board, in light of prevailing market conditions, our available resources and other factors that cannot be predicted now.

The following resolution is submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED THAT the terms of the proposed share repurchase agreements set out in Annex B and Annex C of this proxy statement (the “Share Repurchase Agreements”) be and hereby are, approved, provided that:
a.
the maximum price that may be paid to purchase an ordinary share shall be 110% of the last reported sale price per share for ordinary shares on the NYSE or such other exchange on which the ordinary shares are principally listed from time to time, in each case determined at the time that the purchase is made;
b.
the maximum aggregate number or ordinary shares that may be purchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreements shall not exceed 20% of the total issued ordinary shares of the Company as at 5:00 pm (NY time) on March 3, 2026, as adjusted on a proportionate basis to take into account any consolidation or division of shares from time to time; and
c.
the authority conferred by this resolution shall, unless varied, revoked, or renewed prior to such time, apply until the earlier of the end of the next annual meeting of the Company and the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date on which this resolution is passed, and the directors and officers of the Company, any one of whom individually or jointly with other director(s) and/or officer(s), be and are hereby authorized to enter into and complete the Share Repurchase Agreements between the Company and any of the approved counterparties listed in Annex D of this proxy statement as the Company may determine.”
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the forms of share repurchase contracts and the approval of the counterparties.

PROPOSAL 12–APPROVAL TO AMEND TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN FOR SOLE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARES THEREUNDER
Tronox is seeking shareholder approval to amend the Tronox Holdings plc Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “MEIP”) solely for the purpose of increasing by 2,600,000 the number of shares available for management and director grants. If this proposal is approved then, as of December 31, 2025: (i) 2,600,000 additional shares will be added to the current authorized ordinary shares under the MEIP of 31,981,225 ordinary shares for a total of 34,581,225 authorized ordinary shares, and (ii) there will be a total of 6,404,983 authorized shares remaining available to grant. No other changes are being made to the material terms of the MEIP.
RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES UNDER THE MEIP
The Board recommends a vote for the approval of this proposal and believes the increase in shares available under the MEIP is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders for the following reasons:

Attracts and retains talent. Talented employees, executives and directors are essential to the successful execution of our business strategies. The purpose of the MEIP is to enable the Company to attract and retain key personnel and to provide our employees, executives and directors with an opportunity to acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company and to receive incentive compensation opportunities tied to our long-term performance.

Motivates and rewards key personnel. The MEIP supports our business objectives by linking the compensation of key personnel to Company performance, as well as the value of our common stock. Our compensation program currently provides for (i) annual cash incentives that motivate and reward key personnel to achieve our annual business objectives and (ii) long-term equity incentives that motivate and reward key personnel to achieve our multi-year business objectives and to drive the long-term value of our common stock.

Aligns with shareholder interests. The MEIP provides for the grant of equity awards to eligible participants, including equity incentives that are based on the long-term value of our common stock and the achievement of strategic performance goals over a specified performance period. These awards encourage key personnel to focus on the Company’s long-term performance and increase their investment in the Company. If the additional share reserve request is approved, we will be able to maintain our primary means of aligning the interests of our employees, executives and directors with the interests of our shareholders.
SUMMARY OF GOVERNANCE FEATURES OF THE MEIP
The Board and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “HRCC”) believe the MEIP contains several features that are aligned to the interests of our shareholders and sound corporate governance practices, including the following:

No “evergreen” provision. The number of shares available for issuance under the MEIP is fixed and will not automatically replenish without subsequent shareholder approval or adjust based upon the number of ordinary shares outstanding.

No liberal share recycling. The MEIP restricts liberal share recycling by providing that shares withheld or surrendered for payment of taxes with respect to any award and shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise price of options will be counted toward the share reserve and not be available for re-issuance under the MEIP.

No payment of accrued dividend equivalents on unvested awards. To the extent an award provides for or includes a right to dividends or dividend equivalents, such dividends or dividend equivalents will remain subject to any vesting requirements to the same extent as the applicable
92

PROPOSAL 12–APPROVAL TO AMEND TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN FOR SOLE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARES THEREUNDER
award (although dividends and dividend equivalents may be accumulated during such period) and may only be paid if such vesting requirements are satisfied. No dividend equivalents will be payable in respect of outstanding stock options or SARs.

“Double-trigger” vesting in the context of a change of control. In connection with a change in control, the MEIP provides, generally, for “double trigger” vesting whereby, unless provided otherwise in an award, employment or similar agreement between the Company and a participant, awards will only vest upon a change of control of the Company if, during the 24-month period following the change in control date, the participant’s employment is terminated by such successor (or an affiliate) without Cause or by the participant for Good Reason (as such terms are defined under the MEIP).

Cap on annual equity awards for non-employee directors. For each non-employee director, the aggregate grant date fair value of all awards granted under the MEIP during a calendar year may not exceed $750,000. 
Though Tronox currently solely utilizes Restricted Share Units to compensate its executives and no longer issues stock options or stock appreciation rights, the following provisions of the MEIP may also be considered as evidence of the alignment of our compensation plans and the interests of investors.

Stock option exercise prices and stock appreciation right (“SAR”) strike prices may not be lower than the fair market value on the date of grant. The MEIP prohibits granting stock options with exercise prices and SARs with strike prices lower than the fair market value of an ordinary share on the date of grant, except in connection with the issuance or assumption of awards in connection with certain corporate transaction involving the Company. The Company has not granted any stock options or SARs since 2014.

No repricing of stock options or SARs without shareholder approval. The MEIP prohibits the cash buyout of underwater stock options or SARs and the repricing of outstanding stock options or SARs without shareholder approval, except in connection with certain corporate transactions involving the Company.

No reload options. The MEIP does not allow additional stock options to be granted upon the exercise of previously issued options.

The total sum of the current remaining share reserve and proposed additional share reserve is subject to reduction for any awards granted under the MEIP after December 31, 2025.
Dilution and Expected Duration
The Board recognizes the impact of dilution on our shareholders and has evaluated the proposed share reserve under the MEIP carefully in the context of our need to attract and retain talented employees, executives and directors and to motivate and reward key personnel for achieving our business objectives and strategic priorities. The total fully-diluted overhang as of December 31, 2025 assuming the share reserve is granted in full-value awards only, would be 7.1%. The Company’s historical practice has been to grant full-value awards as the last awards of stock options were granted under the MEIP in 2014 and there are no stock options outstanding. In this context, fully-diluted overhang is calculated as the sum of grants outstanding and shares available for future awards (numerator) divided by the sum of the numerator and basic shares of common stock outstanding, with all data effective as of December 31, 2025. The Board believes that the proposed share reserve represents a reasonable amount of potential equity dilution to accommodate our long-term strategic priorities.
We expect that the proposed share reserve under the MEIP will provide an adequate number of shares of common stock to fund our equity compensation needs for approximately one to two years. Expectations regarding future share usage could be impacted by a number of factors such as award type mix, hiring and promotion activity, particularly at the executive level, the rate at which shares are returned to the MEIP’s reserve under permitted addbacks, the future performance of our stock price, and other factors. While we believe that the assumptions we used are reasonable, future share usage may differ from current expectations. If our shareholders do not approve the addition share reserve request, our future ability to issue equity-based compensation would be materially limited, which we believe would place us at a significant competitive disadvantage.
The HRCC retained FW Cook, its independent compensation consultant, to assist in the determination of the additional share reserve request. FW Cook reviewed, among other things, the terms of the MEIP, potential dilution, potential burn rate and our historical grant practices.
For the foregoing reasons, our Board recommends that shareholders approve the proposed amendment to the MEIP.
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE MEIP
The following is a summary of the key provisions of the MEIP. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the MEIP and is qualified in its entirety by a copy of the MEIP which is included as Appendix E to this Proxy Statement.
Purpose
The MEIP provides a variety of incentives designed to attract, retain and motivate highly competent officers, directors, employees and consultants by providing them with appropriate incentives and rewards either through a proprietary interest in our long-term success or compensation based on their performance in fulfilling their personal responsibilities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 12–APPROVAL TO AMEND TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN FOR SOLE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARES THEREUNDER
Administration
The MEIP is administered by our HRCC. Our HRCC has the discretion to grant awards under the MEIP, to determine the terms thereof, to interpret the provisions of the MEIP and to take action as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the MEIP.
Available Shares
Subject to Section 4.2 of the MEIP, the maximum number of shares which may be the subject of awards (inclusive of incentive options) granted under the MEIP is currently 31,981,225 ordinary shares. If this proposal is approved, 2,600,000 additional shares will be added to the current authorized ordinary shares under the MEIP for a total of 34,581,225 authorized ordinary shares. 
In addition, the MEIP restricts liberal share recycling by providing that shares surrendered in payment of the exercise price of an option, shares withheld or surrendered for payment of taxes with respect to any award and shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise price of options will be counted toward the share reserve and not be available for re-issuance under the MEIP.
Eligibility for Participation
Members of our Board, as well as our employees and independent contractors of, and advisors to, us or any of our subsidiaries and affiliates, are eligible to receive awards under the MEIP.
Award Agreements
Awards granted under the MEIP are evidenced by award agreements providing additional terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations covering the grant of the award, as determined by our HRCC in its sole discretion.
Adjustments
The aggregate number of shares under the MEIP and the exercise price of any number of shares covered by each outstanding award are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization or certain other corporate transactions.
Type of Awards
The following types of awards are available under the MEIP. Currently, the Company solely utilizes Restricted Share Units to compensate its executives.
Share Options. The HRCC may grant nonqualified share options and incentive stock options (only to eligible employees) to purchase shares. The HRCC determines the number of shares subject to each option, the term of each option (which may not exceed ten years (or five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% shareholder)), the exercise price, the vesting schedule (if any), and the other material terms of each option. No incentive stock option granted to a 10% shareholder may have an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value of a share at the time of grant. Options are exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the HRCC at the time of the grant and the exercisability of such options may be accelerated by the HRCC in its sole discretion.
Share Appreciation Rights. The HRCC may grant share appreciation rights (which are referred to herein as “SARs”) either with a share option, which may be exercised only at such times and to the extent the related option is exercisable (a “Related SAR”), or independent of a share option. A SAR is a right to receive a payment in shares or cash equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of one share on the date of exercise over the base price per share established in connection with the grant of the SAR. The term of each SAR may not exceed ten years. The base price per share covered by a SAR is the exercise price per share of the related option in the case of a Related SAR.
Restricted Share and Restricted Share Units. The HRCC may award restricted shares and restricted share units (RSUs). Upon the award of restricted shares, the recipient generally has the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote the restricted shares. The
95

PROPOSAL 12–APPROVAL TO AMEND TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN FOR SOLE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARES THEREUNDER
recipient of RSUs do not have the voting and dividend rights of shareholders, but are eligible to receive accrued dividend equivalents for only RSUs that actually vest. Both restricted shares and RSUs are conditioned upon full vesting of such restricted shares or RSUs at which point the recipient has the right to sell or transfer such shares. The HRCC may determine at the time of a restricted share award that the payment of dividends or other distributions, if any, will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying award and may be deferred until the expiration of the applicable restriction period. If a restricted share award or RSU is forfeited, the HRCC may either cause the forfeited shares to be bought back by the Company in accordance with applicable law for a nominal purchase price (in which case the shares would then be cancelled) or to be sold or transferred to another person, at its discretion. The MEIP provides that if the forfeited shares are sold or transferred, the Company will be entitled to receive the consideration for the sale or transfer (or a sum equivalent thereto) from the recipient.
Other Share-Based Awards. The HRCC may, in its discretion, grant other share-based awards that are payable in, value in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon or related to our shares, including dividend equivalent units, share equivalent units and deferred share units. The terms applicable to any such share-based award, including the vesting schedule and the exercise price for such an award, if any, are determined by the HRCC in its sole discretion.
Performance Awards. The HRCC may grant a performance award to a participant payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals. If the performance award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant performance goals either in cash or in restricted shares, as determined by the HRCC, in its sole discretion. The HRCC will establish the value or range of value of any performance award, the form in which it will be paid and the date(s) or timing of any payments made pursuant to such an award.
These awards may be granted, vest and be paid based on attainment of specified performance goals established by the HRCC. These performance goals may be based, but not limited, to the following criteria selected by the HRCC: (i) revenue, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) net income per share, (iv) share price, (v) pre-tax profits, (vi) net earnings, (vii) net income, (viii) operating income, (ix) cash flow, (x) EBITDA, (xi) earnings before interest and taxes, (xii) sales, (xiii) total shareholder return relative to assets, (xiv) total shareholder return relative to peers, (xv) financial returns, (xvi) cost reduction targets, (xvii) customer satisfaction, (xviii) customer growth, (xix) employee satisfaction, (xx) gross margin, (xxi) revenue growth, (xxii) market share, (xxiii) book value per share, (xxiv) expenses and expense ratio management, (xxv) system-wide sales or growth, (xxvi) traffic or customer counts, (xxvii) new product sales, or (xxviii) any combination thereof and such other criteria as the HRCC may determine. Performance objectives may be in respect of: (a) our performance, (b) the performance of any of our subsidiaries or affiliates, or (c) the performance of any of our divisions or business units. The HRCC may also include or exclude items it deems necessary, including, but not limited to, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items, expenses for restructuring, and acquisition expenses and may adjust previously established performance goals to reflect major unforeseen events.
Where the Company is required to deliver shares to a participant under the MEIP, the MEIP allows the Company to choose whether to: (i) issue new shares to the participant; or (ii) cause previously issued shares to be acquired (e.g., on market) by or for the benefit of, and transferred to, the participant at the Company’s cost.
Cap on Annual Equity Awards for Non-Employee Directors
For each non-employee director, the aggregate grant date fair value of all awards granted under the MEIP during a calendar year may not exceed $750,000.
Change in Control
In connection with a change in control, the MEIP, provides, generally, for “double trigger” vesting whereby, unless provided otherwise in an award, employment or similar agreement between the Company and a participant, awards will only vest upon a change of control of the Company if, during the 24-month period following the change in control date, the participant’s employment is terminated by such successor (or an affiliate) without Cause or by the participant for Good Reason.
96

PROPOSAL 12–APPROVAL TO AMEND TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN FOR SOLE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARES THEREUNDER
Shareholder Rights
Under the MEIP, except as otherwise provided with respect to awards of restricted shares and restricted share units, a participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to shares covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such shares.
Amendment and Termination
Under the MEIP, the Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate any or all of the provisions of the MEIP, subject to any requirement of shareholder approval required by applicable law; provided, however, that the Board may make any amendment necessary to avoid the imposition of any taxes under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), without shareholder approval. Subject to the foregoing, the amendment, suspension or termination of the MEIP may not, without the consent of a participant, materially adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any award granted to such participant.
Transferability
Awards granted under the MEIP are generally intended to be nontransferable (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), except that a participant may, with prior consent, transfer without consideration, awards other than incentive stock options to certain family members, to a trust for the exclusive benefit of such family members, or to a partnership or limited liability company, the partners or members of which are exclusively such family members.
Requirements of Law
The MEIP provides that the granting of awards and the delivery of shares under the plan is subject to all applicable laws. Nothing in the MEIP will require us or any other person to do any act or thing, or refrain from doing any act or thing, if to do or not do the act or thing (as the case may be) would contravene applicable law. Accordingly, if a participant would be entitled to receive a payment or other benefit under the MEIP, or an award in connection with the participant’s termination of service, and payment of such amount or the giving of such benefit would result in us contravening applicable law, the participant will be entitled to receive only the maximum amount that may lawfully be paid, or the benefit to the extent that it may lawfully be given, in connection with the participant’s termination of service.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following discussion covers the material federal income tax consequences, based on the current provisions of the Code, and applicable regulations issued thereunder, with respect to awards that may be granted under the MEIP. It is a brief summary only. The discussion is limited to federal income tax consequences for individuals who are U.S. citizens or residents for U.S. federal income tax purposes and does not describe state, local or foreign tax consequences of an individual’s participation in the MEIP. Changes to these laws could alter the federal income tax consequences described below.
Share Options. The grant of a share option will have no tax consequences to the grantee or to us at the time of the grant. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified share option, the grantee will generally recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the acquired shares’ fair market value on the exercise date over the exercise price, and we will generally be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount. If a grantee exercises an incentive stock option during employment or within three months after his or her employment ends, other than as a result of death (12 months in the case of disability), the grantee will not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction (although the grantee generally will have taxable income for alternative minimum tax purposes at that time as if the option were a nonqualified share option). With respect to both non-qualified share options and incentive stock options, special rules apply if a grantee uses shares already held by the grantee to pay the exercise price or if the shares received upon exercise of the option are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture by the grantee.
Share Appreciation Rights. The grant of a SAR will have no tax consequences to the grantee or to us at the time of grant. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the grantee will recognize ordinary income equal to the received shares’ fair market value on the exercise date, and we will generally be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.
97

PROPOSAL 12–APPROVAL TO AMEND TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN FOR SOLE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARES THEREUNDER
Restricted Share, Restricted Share Units and Other Equity Awards. In general, the grant of restricted shares, restricted share units, or other equity awards that are subject to restrictions will have no tax consequences to the grantee or to us. When the award is settled (or, in the case of restricted shares, when the restrictions applicable to such award lapse), the grantee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the applicable shares’ fair market value on the date the award is settled or the restrictions lapse, as applicable, over the amount, if any, paid for the shares by the grantee. We will generally be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount. If the award is settled in cash or other property, the grantee will recognize ordinary income equal to the net amount or value received, and we will generally be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount, subject to the application of Section 162(m). A grantee will recognize income upon the receipt of restricted shares if he or she elects under Section 83(b) of the Code, within 30 days of receipt, to recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the restricted shares at the time of receipt, less any amount paid for the shares. We will generally be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount. If such election is made, the grantee will not be allowed a deduction for amounts subsequently required to be returned to us.
Sale of Shares. When a grantee sells shares received under any award other than an incentive stock option, the grantee will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale proceeds and the grantee’s basis in the shares. In general, the basis in the shares is the amount of ordinary income recognized upon receipt of the shares (or upon the lapsing of restrictions, in the case of restricted shares) plus any amount paid for the shares. When a grantee disposes of shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, the difference between the amount realized by the grantee and the exercise price will generally constitute a capital gain or loss, as the case may be. However, if the grantee does not hold these shares for more than one year after exercising the incentive stock option and for more than two years after the grant of the incentive stock option, then: (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired upon exercise on the exercise date over the exercise price will generally be treated as ordinary income for the grantee; (2) the difference between the sale proceeds and the shares’ fair market value on the exercise date will be treated as a capital gain or loss for the grantee; and (3) we will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the grantee.
Vote Required for Approval of the TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, as amended
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of ordinary shares cast at the Annual Meeting is required to pass the aforementioned resolution.
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the above amendment to the Tronox Holdings plc Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan.

The approval of the aforementioned proposals (other than Proposal 10) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and actually cast on each such specific proposal. Proposal 10 is proposed as a special resolution and requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and actually cast on Proposal 10. In determining the number of shares present and entitled to vote, and in counting how many votes are cast for each specific proposal, broker non-votes may or may not be counted as described below. Under English law, an abstention (including a broker non-vote) is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes ‘for’ or ‘against’ the resolution.
With respect to Proposal 1, separate resolutions for the election of each director will be submitted for shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting.
Each of our current Directors is standing for re-election to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.
With respect to Proposals 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10, if your shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee, they will have discretion to vote on your behalf if you do not provide voting instructions. If you own your ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee and you do not provide them with specific voting instructions, the bank, broker or nominee will be permitted to vote only on routine matters and will submit a “broker non-vote” on non-routine matters. So called broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether Proposals 1, 2, 5, 6, 11 and 12 have been approved by shareholders, and thus will not be counted as votes “for” or “against” on such proposals.
Certain proposals on which shareholders are being asked to vote are customary, or required for public limited companies incorporated in England and Wales to present to shareholders at each annual general meeting.

If your ordinary shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent you are considered, with respect to those shares, the registered shareholder of record, and we are sending this Proxy Statement and the other proxy materials directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the named proxy holder or to vote in person at the meeting. We have enclosed a Proxy Card for you to use.
Most shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. If your shares are held by a broker or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of these shares even though they are held in “street-name,” and these proxy materials should be forwarded to you by the broker, trustee or nominee together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote and you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Since a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares.
Each registered shareholder will receive one copy of each such Notice per account even if at the same address, while most banks and brokers will deliver only one copy of such Notice to consenting “street-name” shareholders (you own shares beneficially in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record on the books of our transfer agent) who share the same address. This procedure reduces our printing and distribution costs. Those who wish to receive separate copies may do so by contacting their bank, broker or other nominee. Similarly, “street-name” shareholders who receive multiple copies of the Notice at a single address may request that only a single copy be sent to them in the future by contacting their bank, broker or other nominee. If you hold your shares in “street-name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote the shares.
Please follow the voting instructions provided by the bank or broker. Brokers, banks and other nominees who hold Tronox Holdings plc ordinary shares on behalf of their beneficial owners may not give a proxy to Tronox Holdings plc to vote those shares with respect to any proposals other than Proposals 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 and without specific voting instructions from such beneficial owners, as none of these other matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting are considered routine matters under the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Rule 452 and brokers, banks and other nominees do not have discretionary voting power for such non-routine matters. Any votes cast by street-name shareholders or brokers, banks or other nominees will be treated as though they were votes cast by the shareholder of record. You may not vote shares held in street-name by returning a proxy card directly to Tronox Holdings plc or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee. Any votes cast pursuant to a “legal proxy” will be treated as though they were cast by the shareholder of record.
Procedural Matters
Only holders of shares as of 5:00 p.m., U.S. Eastern Daylight Time, on Tuesday, March 3, 2026 will be entitled to attend and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of March 3, 2026, there were 158,557,858 shares outstanding. Each of our shares entitles its holder to one vote on all matters on which holders of such shares have the right to vote. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Quorum Requirements and Effect of Abstention and Broker Non-Votes
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present and entitled to vote for the purposes of determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting. A shareholder present in person, or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting, who abstains from voting on any or all proposals will be included in the determination of shareholders present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, as will broker non-votes. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the proposal is not a routine matter, and the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. All items on this year’s ballot are “non-routine” matters under NYSE rules except Proposals 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Under NYSE rules, a depository cannot cast a vote in favor of non-routine matters absent instruction from the underlying beneficial owner.
Our Articles of Association require that a quorum of shareholders—the holders of a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting—be present or represented by proxy to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Any shareholder that is a shareholder of record may authorize such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at the Annual Meeting and the person so authorized shall (on production at the Annual Meeting of a certified copy of such resolution) be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder of Tronox Holdings plc.
Although abstentions and broker non-votes count as “shares present” at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, they will not be counted as votes in favor of or against the election of the Director nominees or other proposals.
Revocation of Proxies
Shareholders of record may revoke their proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by either:
Submitting another timely, later-dated proxy by mail;
Delivering timely written notice of revocation to our Secretary in accordance with our Articles of Association; or,
Voting during the Annual Meeting via the Internet. If your ordinary shares are held beneficially in street-name, you may revoke your proxy by following the instructions provided by your broker, trustee, nominee or depositary, as applicable.
Vote Confidentiality
Tronox has a confidential voting policy to protect our shareholders’ voting privacy. Under this policy, ballots, proxy forms and voting instructions returned to brokerage firms, banks and other holders are kept confidential. Only the proxy tabulator and Inspector of Elections have access to the ballots, proxy forms and voting instructions. The proxy tabulator will disclose information taken from the ballots, proxy forms and voting instructions only if there is a proxy contest, if the shareholder authorizes disclosure, to defend legal claims or as otherwise required by law.
Annual Meeting Admission
Attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to shareholders (or their proxies) and a guest. Admission to the Annual Meeting is on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., British Summer Time, on April 28, 2026, and you will be asked to present a valid picture identification and proof of Tronox share ownership as of the record date. If you hold Tronox shares in a brokerage account, you must bring a copy of a brokerage account statement reflecting your share ownership as of the record date. If you plan to attend as the proxy or attorney of a shareholder, the shareholder must provide valid proof of your appointment no later than 11:59 p.m., U.S. Eastern Daylight Time, on Monday, April 27, 2026. If you plan to attend as a representative of a body corporate you must bring evidence of appointment to the Annual Meeting. Submitting your proxy now will not prevent you from voting your shares at the Annual Meeting if you desire to do so, as your proxy is revocable at your option. The use of cameras at the Annual Meeting is prohibited and they will not be allowed into the Annual Meeting or any other related areas. We realize that many cellular phones have built-in digital cameras, and while these phones may be brought into the meeting room, they may not be used at any time.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
HOUSE HOLDING AND COMBINING ACCOUNTS
Each registered shareholder (those that own shares in their own name on the books of our transfer agent) will receive one copy each of this Proxy Statement per account, even if at the same address.
The SEC permits companies and intermediaries (such as brokers and banks) to satisfy delivery requirements for Proxy Statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Proxy Statement and annual report to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “house holding,” is intended to reduce the volume of duplicate information shareholders receive and also reduce expenses for companies. While we do not utilize house holding, some intermediaries may be house holding our proxy materials and annual report. Once you have received notice from your broker or another intermediary that it will be house holding materials to your address, house holding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If you hold your shares through an intermediary that sent a single Proxy Statement and annual report to multiple shareholders in your household, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of each of these documents to you if you send a written request to: 263 Tresser Boulevard, Suite 1100, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, USA or fax a request to +1 (203) 705-3703 (USA). You may also submit a request by telephone (from U.S. and Canada only) using the toll-free number listed on the proxy card. If you hold your shares through an intermediary that is utilizing house holding and you want to receive separate copies of our annual report and Proxy Statement in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials and annual report and wish to receive only one, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder.

Annual Report and Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2025
STRATEGIC REPORT
The Directors present their Strategic Report on the group for the year ended 31 December 2025, which further complies with the requirements of s414CB of the Companies Act 2006 by including certain non-financial information. Tronox Holdings PLC is a public limited company listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is incorporated under the laws of England and Wales.
Financial Overview
Similar to 2024, 2025 was a challenging year for the overall industry. Net revenues decreased from $3,074 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $2,898 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the Company generated a net loss of $512 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($53 million net loss for 2024). For the year ended December 31, 2025, TiO2 revenue decreased $109 million, or 5%, compared to the prior year due to a $83 million decrease in average selling prices including mix and a $54 million decrease in sales volumes. Foreign currency positively impacted TiO2 revenue by $28 million due primarily to the strengthening of the Euro. Zircon revenues decreased $48 million primarily due to a 14% decrease in average selling prices including mix and a 1% decrease in sales volumes. Other products revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in sales volumes of heavy mineral concentrate tailings. In addition to the reduced sales, the main contributors to the increased net loss generated during the current year was due to gross margin decreasing from 17% to 8.6% due to higher production costs and a $227 million restructuring charge that was recorded related to related to the closure of its Botlek and Fuzhou facilities.
Business Overview
Tronox is the world’s leading vertically integrated manufacturer of TiO2 pigment. We operate titanium-bearing mineral sand mines and beneficiation and smelting operations in Australia and South Africa to produce feedstock materials that can be processed into TiO2 for pigment, high purity titanium chemicals, including titanium tetrachloride, and ultrafine TiO2 used in certain specialty applications. Our strategy is to be vertically integrated and produce enough feedstock materials to be as self-sufficient as possible in the production of TiO2 at our seven pigment facilities located in the United States, Australia, Brazil, UK, France, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We believe that vertical integration is the best way to achieve our ultimate goal of delivering low cost, high-quality pigment to our approximately 1,200 TiO2 customers throughout the world. The mining, beneficiation and smelting of titanium bearing mineral sands also creates meaningful quantities of co-products including zircon, pig iron and the rare-earth bearing mineral, monazite, which we also supply to customers around the world.

2025 Key Strategic Initiatives
The following sets forth the key strategic initiatives underway in 2025:
Become the Low Cost TiO2 Producer by Investing in our Business Processes and Strengthening Vertical Integration
Our ability to compete effectively in the TiO2 industry is determined by many factors, including innovation, reliability, product quality, customer service and price. The business processes that allow us to maximize the benefit of our vertical integration and global footprint --- the so-called “hidden factory” --- needs to be optimized if we are to successfully meet the pricing and other competitive pressures that characterize our industry. Throughout 2025, the Company reinforced its commitment to sustaining and enhancing its vertical integration competitive advantage. Key milestones were the successful commissioning of the Fairbreeze extension and the completion of construction at Namakwa East OFS which is currently in the process of being commissioned - two major mining projects in South Africa which replace existing mines approaching end of life. These new sites are expected to provide abundant reserves of natural rutile and zircon, along with high-grade ilmenite suitable for direct use or slag processing, ensuring a secure and cost-effective feedstock supply for years to come. These strategic investments are projected to deliver returns above the Company’s cost of capital.
Sustainable Cost Improvement Plan
In 2025, we launched a comprehensive Sustainable Cost Improvement Program designed to enhance cost efficiency and optimize asset performance across all aspects of our business. This initiative delivered over $90 million in annualized savings by year-end 2025 and is projected to achieve approximately $125-$175 million in annualized savings (including the $90 million realized in 2025) by the end of 2026. The program focuses on four key pillars: Operational Excellence, Technology Enablement, Supply Chain Optimization, and Selling, General & Administrative Expenses Alignment. We believe this strategic approach will position us to sustain long-term value creation while maintaining operational resilience.
Maintaining Adequate Liquidity
We took proactive measures to bolster liquidity and preserve flexibility, which included the successful execution of a $400 million senior secured bond offering which closed in September 2025, and reducing the quarterly dividend by 60%, effective in the third quarter of 2025. At the same time, throughout 2025, we implemented targeted operational measures to manage near-term cash flow, including: shutting down the Botlek pigment plant in the Netherlands, idling the Fuzhou pigment plant in China, and temporarily idling one furnace at the Namakwa smelter.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Develop Our Position as a Significant Supplier of Rare Earth Oxides
Tronox’s existing mining operations and tailing piles in South Africa and Australia contain significant quantities of monazite, a mineral containing rare earth elements (REEs) widely recognized as a critical mineral for the energy transformation underway to decarbonize the world’s economy. For these applications, REE must first be processed into an oxide form --- rare earth oxides or “REO” --- that can then be metallized for the production of permanent magnets. Every step of the REE supply chain today is dominated by China. China’s dominance of the processing of REO and production of permanent magnets is widely recognized as a serious strategic challenge by democratic governments around the world.
The separation, beneficiation and processing technologies that Tronox uses to turn titanium-bearing ores into TiO2 are applicable for turning monazite into REO. In the past, we sold our monazite in unconcentrated form as a waste product but given the increased value associated with REE, we are now seeking to maximize the value of our existing geologic resources and deploy our substantial technical know how and human capital to become a significant supplier of REO to non-Chinese producers of metals and permanent magnets.
In 2025, we received coordinated, non-binding and conditional letters of support/interest from Export Finance Australia and Export-Import Bank of the United States, respectively for up to an aggregate of US $600 million in limited or non-recourse financing to support the development of Tronox’s rare earth supply chain. In addition, we took an approximate 5% equity interest in Lion Rock Minerals (ASX-LRM) (“LRM”), a mineral exploration company whose Minta and Minta Est deposits have the potential to be a major source of high quality monazite and rutile. Continuing to seek funding sources and develop a rare earth minerals business is an ongoing focus of management. See “Risk Factors - The Company may not be successful in arranging required financing and/or developing a financeable structure for its rare earth initiatives, and even if the required financing is obtained and/or a financing structure is achieved, the Company may not be successful in developing a viable rare earth supply chain.”
Our Principal Products
TiO2
TiO2 Pigment
TiO2 pigment is used in a wide range of products due to its ability to impart whiteness, brightness, and opacity. TiO2 pigment is used extensively in the manufacture of paint and other coatings, plastics and paper, and in a wide range of other applications. Moreover, it is a critical component of everyday consumer applications due to its superior ability to cover or mask other materials effectively and efficiently relative to alternative white pigments and extenders. TiO2 pigment is considered to be a quality of life product. At present, it is our belief that there is no effective substitute for TiO2 pigment because no other white pigment has the physical properties for achieving comparable opacity and brightness or can be incorporated as cost effectively.
Ultrafine Specialty TiO2
We produce ultrafine TiO2 at our manufacturing facility in Thann, France. We market ultrafine TiO2 products under the CristalActiv® trademark. Ultrafine TiO2 has highly catalytic properties due to the relatively high surface area of each TiO2 molecule. The principal use of ultrafine TiO2 products is in NOx emission control products utilized in stationary, mobile and marine applications.
In 2025, we generated $2.3 billion in net revenue from sales of TiO2.
Zircon
Zircon (ZrSiO4) is a co-product of mining mineral sands deposits for titanium feedstock. Zircon is used as an additive in ceramic glazes, which makes the ceramic glaze more water, chemical and abrasion resistant. It is also used for the production of zirconium metal and zirconium chemicals, in refractories, as molding sand in foundries, and for TV screen glass, where it adds its structural stability at high temperatures and resistance to abrasive and corrosive conditions. Zircon typically represents a relatively low proportion of the in-situ heavy mineral sands deposits we mine, but has a relatively high value compared to other heavy mineral products. Refractories containing zircon are expensive and are only used in demanding, high-wear and corrosive applications in the glass, steel and cement industries. Foundry applications use zircon when casting articles of high quality and value where accurate sizing is crucial, such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and other high-end applications.
In 2025, we generated $274 million in net revenues from sales of zircon.

Other Products
High Purity Pig Iron
During the process of smelting ilmenite at our smelters to increase the concentration of titanium and produce titanium slag, high purity pig iron is produced as a co-product. High purity pig iron is used as a raw material in foundries for the production of high-quality ductile iron castings. Ductile iron is used extensively throughout the world for the production of safety critical automotive parts, such as engine blocks, brake calipers and steering knuckles in cars and trucks.
Monazite
Like zircon, monazite is a co-product of mining mineral sands deposits for titanium feedstock. Monazite is concentrated and processed to remove contaminants, such as uranium and thorium, before being sold to rare earth processors and separated into specific rare earth oxides (REOs) such as neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), terbium (Tb), and dysprosium (Dy). These REOs can then be metallized and formed into permanent magnets, particularly NdFeB magnets, that are needed to manufacture electric vehicle motors, wind turbines and other green economy applications.
Feedstock
Most TiO2 products are derived from three naturally occurring minerals which are commonly referred to as heavy minerals or mineral sands: ilmenite, leucoxene and rutile. Ilmenite, rutile, leucoxene, as well as titanium slag and synthetic rutile which are processed from ilmenite, are the primary feedstock materials that we use for the production of TiO2 pigment. Titanium slag is produced by smelting ilmenite in an electric arc furnace to separate titanium-oxide from the iron and other impurities. Synthetic rutile is produced by reducing ilmenite in a rotary kiln, followed by leaching under various conditions to remove the metallic iron from the reduced ilmenite grains. The purpose of both processes is to increase the titanium concentration of the ilmenite. There is substantial overlap amongst each of the aforementioned with the primary differentiating factor being the level of titanium content. For instance, rutile has the highest titanium dioxide content of approximately 94% to 96%, while ilmenite has the lowest of approximately 45% to 65%.
Titanium Tetrachloride
We sell titanium tetrachloride (“TiCl4”) from our facilities in Thann, France and Yanbu, KSA. At our Thann facility in France, we produce TiCl4 dedicated for merchant market sales to customers for use mainly in the production of various types of pigments and catalyst products. At our Yanbu facility, we produce excess TiCl4 which we both sell directly to a joint venture between Advanced Metal Industries Cluster and Toho Titanium Metal Co. Ltd. (“ATTM”) for use at ATTM’s titanium sponge plant facility that is adjacent to our Yanbu facility and in the merchant market.
In 2025, we generated $326 million in net revenue from the sale of high purity pig iron, monazite, titanium tetrachloride and other products.
The demand for certain of our products during a given year is subject to seasonal fluctuations. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to our Business - The markets for many of our products have seasonally affected sales patterns”.

Perth Basin operations in Western Australia consisting of the Wonnerup mine and a mineral separation plant.
Zircon and monazite are often, but not always, found in mineral sands deposits containing ilmenite. They are extracted, alongside ilmenite and rutile, as part of the initial mineral sands separation process.
The mining of mineral sands deposits is conducted either “wet,” by dredging or hydraulic water jets, or “dry,” by using earth-moving equipment to excavate and transport the sands. The type of mining operation we deploy is dependent upon the characteristics of the ore body. Dredge mining is generally the favored method of mining mineral sands, provided that the ground conditions are suitable, water is readily available and the deposit is low in slime content. Dry mining techniques are generally preferred in situations involving hard ground, discontinuous ore bodies, small tonnage, high slimes contents and/or very high grades.
Regardless of the type of mining technique, the first step in the beneficiation process after the mineral sands have been mined is to utilize wet concentrator plants to produce a high grade of heavy mineral concentrate (typically approximately 90% to 98% heavy mineral content). Screened ore is first de-slimed, a process by which slimes are separated from larger particles of minerals, and then processed through a series of spiral separators that use gravity to separate the heavy mineral sands from lighter materials, such as quartz. Residue from the concentration process is pumped back into either the open pits or slimes dams for rehabilitation and water recovery.
After producing heavy mineral concentrate in our wet concentrator plants, we separate the non-magnetic (rutile, zircon and monazite) and magnetic (ilmenite) fractions utilizing a variety of techniques. Through the separation process, we produce zircon which is sold directly to customers, rutile and leucoxene which can immediately be used as feedstock material to make TiO2 pigment, and monazite which we currently sell in a relatively unconcentrated form but which we plan on further processing before sale to extract greater value.
Ilmenite is generally further refined for use in our TiO2 pigment manufacturing processes. Depending on the characteristics of the ilmenite we use two fundamental processes to refine ilmenite. Both processes involve the removal of iron and other non-titanium material.
Titanium slag is made by smelting ilmenite in an electric arc furnace to separate titanium-oxide from the iron and other impurities. The result is two products: “slag” which contains 86% to 89% titanium dioxide and is considered a TiO2 feedstock material, and high purity pig iron which is ready for sale to end-use customers.
Synthetic rutile is made by reducing ilmenite in a rotary kiln, followed by leaching under various conditions to remove the iron from the reduced ilmenite grains. Activated carbon is a byproduct of this process. Our synthetic rutile has a titanium dioxide content of approximately 89% to 92% and is also considered a TiO2 feedstock material.
Our current mining and beneficiation operations have an annual production capacity of approximately 832,000 metric tons (“MT”) of titanium feedstock, which is comprised of 182,000 MT of rutile and leucoxene, 240,000 MT of synthetic rutile and 410,000 MT of titanium slag. We currently have the capability to produce approximately 297,000 MT of zircon and 250,000 MT of pig iron per year.
Competitive Conditions of Mining and Feedstock Production
Globally, there are a large number of mining companies that mine mineral sand deposits containing ilmenite, as well as zircon. However, there is a smaller number of mining companies that are also involved in upgrading the underlying ilmenite to produce feedstock typically utilized by TiO2 producers.
Pigment producers procure a range of types of feedstocks from multiple feedstock producers to create varying blends of feedstock materials that maximize the efficiency and economic returns of their unique production technique under conditions applicable at the time of production. Pigment producers frequently switch the relative amount of each feedstock they procure based on a number of factors including: the relative cost of feedstocks, feedstock logistics costs, the cost of, and availability of, chemicals used to process feedstocks, as well as waste management costs. Hence, there is a high degree of substitutability between and among titanium feedstocks.

Production of TiO2 Pigment
TiO2 pigment is produced using a combination of processes involving the manufacture of base pigment particles through either the chloride or sulfate process followed by surface treatment, drying and milling (collectively known as finishing). Currently, approximately 90% of our TiO2 pigment production capacity is produced using the chloride process and approximately 10% of our TiO2 production capacity is produced using the sulfate process.
We use the sulfate process at our manufacturing facility in Thann, France to produce ultrafine TiO2 products.
In the chloride process, feedstock (slag, synthetic rutile, natural rutile or ilmenite ores) are reacted with chlorine (the chlorination step) and carbon to form TiCl4 in a continuous fluid bed reactor. Purification of TiCl4 to remove impurities is accomplished using selective condensation and distillation processes. The purified TiCl4 is then oxidized in a vapor phase form to produce raw pigment particles and chlorine gas. The latter is recycled back to the chlorination step for reuse. Raw pigment is then typically slurried with water and dispersants prior to entering the finishing step. Due to the nature of the production process, the final pigment product is not sensitive to the feedstocks used to create it, as substantially all substances other than TiO2 are removed during the process. The chloride process currently accounts for substantially all of the industry-wide TiO2 production capacity in North America, and approximately 40% of industry-wide capacity globally.
In the sulfate process, ilmenite and/or slag are dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid. After removing impurities, dissolved titanium is hydrolyzed and separated from the remaining sulfuric acid. The titanium hydrolysate is subsequently calcined in a rotary kiln to produce a raw TiO2. The product is then further finished in a similar way to TiO2 produced through the chloride process.
Commercial production of TiO2 pigment results in one of two different crystal forms: rutile, which is manufactured using either the chloride process or the sulfate process, or anatase, which is only produced using the sulfate process. Rutile TiO2 is preferred over anatase TiO2 for many of the largest end-use applications, such as coatings and plastics, because its higher refractive index imparts better hiding power at lower quantities than the anatase crystal form and it is more suitable for outdoor use because it is more durable.
The primary raw materials used in the production of chloride TiO2 pigment include titanium feedstock, chlorine and coke. As discussed above, we believe we are unique in the degree to which we produce our own high-grade titanium feedstock. Other chemicals used in the production of TiO2 are purchased from various companies under short and long-term supply contracts. In the past, we have been, and we expect that we will continue to be, successful in obtaining extensions to these and other existing supply contracts prior to their expiration. We expect the raw materials purchased under these contracts, and contracts that we enter into the near term, to meet our requirements over the next several years.
Marketing of TiO2
We supply and market TiO2 under the brand name TIONA® and CristalActiv® to approximately 1,200 customers in approximately 120 countries, including market leaders in each of the key end-use markets for TiO2, and we have supplied each of our top ten customers with TiO2 for more than 10 years. We have implemented a margin stabilization program which we believe provides relative certainty over availability of product and price stability to customers who choose to participate, and have also initiated a long-term partnership strategy that we believe will strengthen the commitments from our customers across all regions and products. The long-term partnership strategy and margin stabilization programs are key parts of our TiO2 marketing and sales strategy, enabling us to focus on predictability and reliability of TiO2 delivery across the supply and demand cycle.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following sets forth the percentage of our TiO2 sales volume by end-use market for the year ended December 31, 2025:

In addition to price and product quality, we compete on the basis of technical support and customer service. We sell our products through both a direct sales force and third-party agents and distributors. Our direct sales, marketing and technical service organizations execute our sales and marketing strategy on a global basis. Due to the technical requirements of TiO2 applications, our technical service organization and direct sales offices are supported by a regional customer service staff located in each of our major geographic markets.
Our sales and marketing strategy focuses on aligning ourselves with customers growing faster than the market and effective customer management through the development and maintenance of strong relationships. We develop customer relationships and manage customer contact across multiple contact points within the organization including our sales, technical service and marketing, research and development, and customer service teams. These primary points of contact are supplemented by direct contact with plant operations personnel, supply chain specialists, and senior management. We believe that multiple points of customer contact facilitate efficient problem solving, supply chain support, formula optimization and co-development of products.
Competitive Conditions of TiO2 Pigment
The global market in which our TiO2 pigment business operates is highly competitive. Competition is based on a number of factors such as price, product quality and service. We face competition from both chloride process pigment producers and sulfate process pigment producers. Moreover, because transportation costs are minor relative to the cost of our product, there is also competition between products produced in one region versus products produced in another region.
We face competition from global competitors with headquarters in Europe, the United States and China, including Chemours, LB Group, Kronos Worldwide Inc., and INEOS. In addition, we compete with numerous regional producers particularly in Eastern Europe and China.
Research and Development
We have research and development facilities that aim to develop new products, service our products, and focus on applied research and development of both new and existing processes. The majority of scientists supporting our TiO2 pigment product development and testing are located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA and Stallingborough, UK, while the majority of scientists supporting our TiO2 ultrafine specialty business are located in Thann, France. In addition, the research and development personnel relating to our mineral sands operations are located in Australia and South Africa. Our research and development initiatives for concentration and separation of REOs is centered in Perth, Australia.
New process developments are focused on increased throughput, efficiency gains and general processing-related improvements for our customers. Ongoing development of process technology contributes to cost reduction, enhanced production flexibility, increased capacity, and improved consistency of product quality. Process technology research also pertains to concentration and separation of monazite into neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), terbium (Tb), and dysprosium (Dy), the types of REOs that are most in demand for EV and wind turbine applications.
During 2025, we commercialized several new products, including two new products to address both masterbatch and engineering resin markets. We also continued to focus on incorporating long-term sustainable solutions in

our TiO2 products with the successful implementation of organic substitutions in several new product offerings. Moreover, with the closure of our Botlek pigment plant, we were able to successfully transfer certain technology to our Stallingborough pigment plant which we believe will enable us to maintain and grow our footprint in durable plastic pigment applications. We also continued to utilize our large global footprint by expanding the product capabilities at our Yanbu pigment plant which we believe will be able to efficiently and effectively service a broad array of geographic markets, including Europe.
In addition, we also continued to support our rare earth initiatives which resulted in improvements in the characterization and transformation of raw materials that could be used in the rare earth space. Tronox has also completed a pre-feasibility study with respect to the development of a rare earth “cracking and leaching” facility. Further development of this facility is expected to be conducted in 2026.
Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets and Other Intellectual Property Rights
Protection of our proprietary intellectual property is important to our business. At December 31, 2025, we held 67 patents and 3 patent applications in the U.S., and approximately 470 in foreign counterparts, including both issued patents and pending patent applications. Our U.S. patents have expiration dates ranging through 2043. Additionally, we have 11 trademark registrations in the U.S. and 3 trademark applications in the U.S., as well as 316 trademark counterpart registrations and applications in foreign jurisdictions.
We also rely upon our unpatented proprietary technology, know-how and other trade secrets. The substantial majority of our patents and trade secrets relate to our chloride products, surface treatments, chlorination expertise, and oxidation process technology, and this proprietary chloride production technology is an important part of our overall technology position. However, much of the fundamental intellectual property associated with both chloride and sulfate pigment production is no longer subject to patent protection. At Namakwa Sands, we rely on intellectual property for our smelting technology, which was granted to us in perpetuity by Anglo American South Africa Limited for use on a worldwide basis, pursuant to a non-exclusive license.
While certain of our patents relating to our products and production processes are important to our long-term success, more important is the operational knowledge we possess. We also use and rely upon unpatented proprietary knowledge, continuing technological innovation and other trade secrets to develop and maintain our competitive position. We conduct research activities and protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets through reasonable measures, including confidentiality agreements and security procedures. We protect the trademarks that we use in connection with the products we manufacture and sell, and have developed value in connection with our long-term use of our trademarks. See “Risk Factors—If our intellectual property were compromised or copied by competitors, or if competitors were to develop similar intellectual property, our results of operations could be negatively affected. Further, third parties may claim that we infringe on their intellectual property rights which could result in costly litigation.”
Human Capital
Tronox employs approximately 5,700 people across six continents, and we believe it is our rich diversity and exceptional operational and technical expertise that, combined with our vertical integration model, position Tronox as the world’s leading vertically integrated manufacturer of titanium dioxide pigment. Recognizing the importance of our human capital, one of our core strategies is to foster a high-performance culture in which we strive for zero harm and operational excellence, while harnessing technology and encouraging innovation to create value, all while empowering our people.

Accordingly, we place a high priority on knowledge transfer, including, but not limited to, by relocating skilled leaders across countries and between mining and TiO2 pigment operations, by staffing high-potential employees in regions on global projects, and by enabling collaboration in global centers of excellence). We are committed to creating an organization where leaders encourage a diverse workforce, where people feel valued and respected, have access to opportunities, and in which a variety of different voices are encouraged and heard. For instance, during 2025, we focused our efforts on inclusion through developing learning opportunities and surveying our employees. In addition, in 2025, we focused on, among other things, promoting women in STEM and celebrating our different cultures through local events.
We also place an uncompromising focus on operating safe, reliable, and responsible facilities, and we measure our progress with both safety metrics and leading indicators. We believe every employee and contractor has a responsibility for safety, and we proactively identify and manage risk, conduct ourselves responsibly, exercise good judgment, and take accountability for our actions. In 2025, our employees worked approximately 11 million hours with 11 recordable injuries and no fatalities from our operations, and our contractors worked approximately 12 million hours with 16 recordable injuries and no fatalities from our operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Culture
We aim to create an organizational culture where employees unleash their full value through living our values, and fostering a high-performance culture. In 2025, we developed a program, Living our Values, which we expect to launch in 2026. Through this program, employees will learn how they can live our values in everything they do. In addition, such program will emphasize employees working with a Growth Mindset where we believe everyone can improve, feedback is a gift, and challenges are an opportunity to learn. We believe we can have the most success fostering a high performance culture by setting high expectations for each other and modelling ways of work done well, enrolling our people into fulfilling our vision and strategy, and investing in the success and fulfillment of our people.
Today, we are a collaborative group of people who naturally want to be helpful to others, and we adjust our own efforts to make our colleagues’ work easier, however we can.
We have adopted a set of core values that describes our expectations of one another, starting with safety. Every performance review starts with a self-assessment and manager’s assessment of our consistency in living our values. Employees are encouraged – and provided a toolkit – to develop in the values where they are weak, and to help coach others in the values where they are strong.
Tronox Core Values
We have an uncompromising focus on operating safe, reliable and responsible facilities.
We honor our responsibility to create value for stakeholders.
We treat others with respect, and act with personal and organizational integrity.
We build our organization with diverse, talented people who make a positive difference and we invest in their success.
We are adaptable, decisive and effective.
We are trustworthy and reliable, and we build mutually rewarding relationships.
We share accountability, and have high expectations for ourselves and one another.
We do the right work the right way in every aspect of our business.
We celebrate the joy of working together to accomplish great things.
Capabilities
At Tronox we lead with safety. To ensure we live this value with impact, a key focus of our strategy is to drive risk reduction with an updated safety program focused on leading indicators. This program is intended to help find areas for the Company to make improvements and make our business safer with initiatives that would not be accomplished otherwise. In 2025, we completed numerous projects aimed at reducing risk and increasing workplace pride which we believe will make our operations safer.
In addition, our employees are further guided by our code of conduct and business ethics and we conduct annual global training to help them fully understand and comply with our code of conduct.
We also have a rigorous succession planning process with respect to key positions throughout the organization. We believe such process allows us to proactively develop the talent of the future and allows us to move with speed and agility when leadership changes are required. As part of the succession planning process, high potential leaders are identified and development plans are completed for each candidate.
Sustainability
Our business requires an unwavering focus on sustainable operating practices, and our commitment to sustainability supports our overall vision to be the leader in shaping a sustainable, thriving world through enriched and refined minerals and a key pillar of our strategy to be the benchmark for sustainability. As such, we integrate sustainability into every aspect of our business—from our culture and our strategy to our operating practices. We believe sustainable operations enable us to better control costs and manage our environmental

footprint. Sustainability also encompasses providing our employees with a safe, diverse workplace and offering them opportunities to grow and develop. Ultimately, safe, environmentally sustainable operations demonstrates our respect for our communities and supports our continued privilege to operate.
Our sustainability efforts are also focused on reducing Tronox’s carbon footprint. Our detailed and actionable roadmap for reducing carbon emissions in the short-, medium- and long-term demonstrates Tronox’s commitment to mitigating the impact of climate change. Our roadmap covers 100% of our operations and is based on a thorough analysis of our carbon footprint and step-by-step plans to reduce it. The majority of our greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions are generated from our TiO2 slag furnaces in South Africa, synthetic rutile kiln in Western Australia, and TiO2 pigment plants in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Australia, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
We are proud that we achieved our previously announced target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission intensity 25% by the end of 2025 against a 2019 baseline. In addition, we are continuing to actively progress GHG reduction plans to enable us to achieve our target of a 50% reduction by the end of 2030 also against a 2019 baseline. During 2025, we were able to realize the full benefits of the 200 MW solar energy project in South Africa which contributed to approximately 40% of our South African electricity needs. The project is expected to reduce Tronox’s global Scope 1 and 2 emissions by approximately 13%. In addition, in June 2024, we announced a second large-scale renewable energy project in South Africa that is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2027. Upon completion of such project, the Company expects that approximately 70% of its South African needs will be satisfied by renewable energy. It remains our long-term goal to achieve “net zero” carbon emissions by 2050. We believe the Company’s dedication to these significant renewable energy projects are just two examples of how Tronox is committed to being a leader when it comes to corporate sustainability and protection of the environment.
Environmental, Health and Safety Authorizations
Mining
Our facilities and operations are subject to extensive general and industry-specific environmental, health and safety regulations in jurisdictions where we operate, but particularly South Africa and Australia. These regulations include those relating to mine rehabilitation, liability provision, water management, the handling and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials, and occupational health and safety. The various legislation and regulations are subject to a number of internal and external audits. We believe our mineral sands operations are in compliance, in all material respects, with existing health, safety and environmental legislation and regulations.
Regulation of the Mining Industry in South Africa
The South African mining regulatory regime is comprehensive and requires regular reporting to applicable government departments. A failure to, among other things, comply with any such reporting requirements or the conditions of any mining license could result in extended mandatory shutdown periods, license and/or mining right suspensions or revocations all of which could impact our business.
In South Africa, the primary legislative enactments with which our mines are required to comply are the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (“MPRDA”) which governs the acquisition and retention of prospecting and mining rights. In addition, the Mine Health and Safety Act governs the manner in which mining must be conducted from a health and safety perspective, while the National Environmental Management Act (and its subsidiary legislation) provides the underlying framework with respect to environmental rules and regulation for which our operations must comply. For additional details regarding other South African legislative enactments that govern our mining licenses please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth elsewhere in these financial statements.
Regulation of the Mining Industry in Australia
Each Australian state and territory has its own legislation regulating the exploration for and mining of minerals. Our key exploration and mining operations are regulated by the Mining Act 1978 (WA), the Mining Act 1992 (NSW) and their related regulations.
In Western Australia, State Agreements are contracts between the State and the proponents of major resources projects within Western Australia, and are intended to foster resource development and related infrastructure

investments. These agreements are approved and ratified by the Parliament of Western Australia. The State Agreement relevant to the development of certain of our Western Australian operations is the agreement authorized by the Mineral Sands (Cooljarloo) Mining and Processing Agreement Act 1988 (WA). This agreement concluded in March 2020 and Tronox’s rights and obligations are now covered by the Western Australian Mining Act.
Regulation of Finished Product Manufacturing
Our business is subject to extensive regulation by federal, state, local and foreign governments. Governmental authorities regulate the generation and treatment of waste and air emissions at our operations and facilities. At many of our operations, we also comply with worldwide, voluntary standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”), a nongovernmental organization that promotes the development of standards and serves as a bridging organization for quality and environmental standards, such as ISO 9002 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management.
Chemical Registration
As a chemical manufacturer with global operations, we are subject to a wide array of regulations regarding the import, export, labelling, use, storage and disposal of our products. We are obliged to comply with the regulation of chemical substances and inventories under the Toxic Substances Control Act in the United States and the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (“REACH”) regulation in Europe, as well as a growing list of analogous regimes in other parts of the world, including China, South Korea and Taiwan. Manufacturers and importers of chemical substances must register information regarding the properties of their existing chemical substances with the European Chemicals Agency (“ECHA”). REACH regulations require chemical substances which are newly imported or manufactured in the EU to be registered before being placed on the market, assessed for human health or environmental risk and for registrations to be updated periodically such as when new information emerges relevant to human health or environmental risks associated with the production or use of the substance. For additional information on this topic, see section entitled “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to our Legal and Regulatory Environment - Our TiO2 products are subject to increased regulatory scrutiny that may impede or inhibit widespread usage of TiO2 and / or diminish the Company’s ability to sustain or grow its business or may add significant costs of doing business.”
Greenhouse Gas Regulation
Globally, our operations are subject to regulations that seek to reduce emissions of GHGs. We currently report and manage GHG emissions as required by law for sites located in jurisdictions requiring such managing and reporting of GHGs, primarily the European Union, United Kingdom and Australia. For additional information on this topic, see section entitled “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to our Legal and Regulatory Environment - Sustainability issues as they may be applicable in certain jurisdictions, including those related to climate change, may subject us to additional costs and restrictions, including increased energy and raw material costs, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as damage our reputation.”
Environmental Matters
We are subject to a broad array of international, federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to safety, pollution, protection of the environment, and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal, and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent environmental inspections and monitoring, and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. Under these laws, we are or may be required to obtain or maintain permits or licenses in connection with our operations. In addition, under these laws, we are or may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of chemical, petroleum, low-level radioactive and other substances at our facilities. We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under environmental, health, and safety laws, including costs to acquire, maintain, and repair pollution control equipment. Environmental laws and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and compliance costs are significant and will continue to be significant in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that such laws and regulations or any environmental law or regulation enacted in the future is not likely to have a material effect on our business. We believe we are in compliance with applicable environmental rules and regulations in all material respects.

Overview of Our Vertical Integration
Tronox is the world’s leading vertically integrated manufacturer of TiO2 pigment. We produce the majority of our internal TiO2 pigment feedstock requirements internally at our mine and mineral processing facilities. Our supply chain consists of mining operations in South Africa and Australia, separation and upgrading facilities located near our mines where we separate and process raw ore and then “upgrade” the titanium content of the raw ore to produce specialized chloride TiO2 feedstock materials (titanium slag and synthetic rutile) and seven TiO2 pigment production facilities located on six continents. The internal TiO2 feedstocks we produce include titanium slag, synthetic rutile, natural rutile, leucoxene, chloride ilmenite and sulfate ilmenite.
As part of our TiO2 value chain, we explore, acquire, mine and process heavy mineral sands to produce Heavy Mineral Concentrate (“HMC”) from which the Valuable Heavy Mineral (VHM) titanium and zircon products are made. HMC is produced from heavy mineral sands primarily through spiral gravity concentration at our mines. Mined material is transported to our nearby integrated mineral separation plants (MSP) to separate and concentrate VHMs by gravity, magnetic and electrostatic techniques. Multiple grades of titanium minerals and zircon may be produced from each MSP. The three titanium feedstocks which result from the MSP process (natural rutile, leucoxene and ilmenite) are each handled differently. Natural rutile and leucoxene are ordinarily shipped from the MSP to one of our TiO2 pigment production facilities. Depending on the TiO2 content of mined ilmenite, we either use it directly to produce TiO2 pigment or we upgrade it to produce titanium slag at our two South African smelter operations and synthetic rutile (SR) at our Chandala metallurgical complex in Western Australia. Our internally sourced titanium mineral products provide a secure, long-term low-cost supply of high-grade feedstock for our TiO2 pigment manufacturing facilities.
There is a high degree of substitutability among natural rutile, synthetic rutile, titanium slag, leucoxene and chloride ilmenite as titanium feedstocks for chloride pigment production. The commercial value of titanium feedstock is a function not only of TiO2 content and supply and demand balances, but also particle size, trace element geochemistry, logistics and other factors. The global TiO2 industry is a value-added supply chain, with final product prices for TiO2 pigment, typically significantly higher than that of chloride or sulfate ilmenite, the backbone of the global titanium mineral supply. The revenue assumptions for titanium feedstocks we applied to determine our reserve estimates, as described below, are based on market intelligence gathered from internal and external experts, sales contracts and historic pricing. The economic assessment is done on a minerals only basis and no value of downstream upgrading is attributed to the minerals units.
In 2025, we produced concentrates of ilmenite, rutile, leucoxene, and zircon from five operations:
Namakwa Sands, Western Cape, South Africa;
KwaZulu-Natal (“KZN”) Sands, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa;
Northern Operations, Western Australia;
Southern Operations, Western Australia; and
Eastern Operations, Murray Basin, New South Wales, Australia.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Ilmenite from our Namakwa and KZN Sands mines in South Africa is converted to titanium slag at our smelters at Saldanha Bay, Western Cape and Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal, respectively. Ilmenite from our Cooljarloo mine in Western Australia is converted to SR at our Chandala metallurgical complex which is most commonly used as feedstock to our TiO2 pigment plants at Kwinana and Kemerton, both of which are south of Perth in Western Australia.
Mining Operations
Tronox owns and operates five mining and mineral processing operations, each including one or more heavy mineral sand (“HMS”) mines producing HMC which is separated into valuable co-products, primarily zircon and TiO2 feedstocks --- ilmenite, natural rutile or leucoxene --- in a dedicated mineral separation plant.
In South Africa, the Namakwa Sands operations include two open-pit mines at Brand-se-Baai, each with a dedicated primary gravity concentration plant and a secondary concentration plant (SCP) that processes the HMC from both primary plants. Products from the SCP are further processed to finished mineral products at a nearby MSP in Koekenaap. Ilmenite product is further processed into titanium slag and pig iron at a two-furnace smelter at Saldanha, Western Cape, South Africa which is two hundred kilometers south of Koekenaap. The KZN operations have an open pit hydraulic mine at Fairbreeze with a primary gravity concentration plant, a MSP at nearby Empangeni alongside a two-furnace smelter complex, and export facilities at the port of Richards Bay.
In Australia, the Northern Operations consist of the Cooljarloo dredge mine and floating primary gravity concentration plant, and the Chandala metallurgical complex, consisting of a mineral separation plant and SR plant. The Southern Operations consist of a dry open pit mine and primary concentration at Wonnerup and a mineral separation plant at Bunbury.
The Eastern Operations in the Murray Basin of Australia consists of a dry open pit mine at Atlas Campaspe and a mineral separation plant at Broken Hill, NSW. The Snapper mine ceased production in April 2022 after 12 years of production. The Gingko and Crayfish mines ceased production in June 2024 after 20 years of production. Construction at Atlas commenced in 2022 and ramped up to full production in the first quarter of 2023. The Atlas Campaspe mine is abundant in natural rutile and high value zircon and will be a significant source of high-grade ilmenite suitable for direct use or upgraded feedstock production.

Mining and Mineral Tenure
Our heavy mineral exploration and mining activities in South Africa and Australia are regulated by the South African Department of Mineral Resources, the Western Australia Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration, and the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - Resources. All exploration and mining activities are subject to multiple levels of environmental regulatory review, including approvals of environmental plans and public comment periods as pre-conditions to granting of mineral tenure.
Mineral Tenure - South Africa
Our two South African mineral sand mining processing chains are operated by Namakwa Sands and KZN Sands, both indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tronox Holdings plc. The South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (“DMRE”) is the regulatory administrator of mineral rights in South Africa, subject to the provisions of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (“MPRDA”), No. 28 of 2004, as amended in 2016. The MPRDA vests all mineral rights in South Africa in the national government and establishes conditions for the acquisition and maintenance of prospecting and mining rights. Prospecting rights and mining rights may only be granted by the DMRE. Prospecting rights are granted for a maximum period of five years and can be renewed once for an extension of up to three years. Prospecting rights may be revoked for non-compliance with the terms of the prospecting right.
Mining right applications require additional approvals by the Department of Environmental Affairs (“DEA”) of an Environmental Management Program (“EMP”) and an Integrated Water and Land Use License.
Mining rights are valid for up to 30 years and may be extended by 30-year renewals, subject to compliance with conditions established in the EMP and by the MPRDA. Environmental permitting and compliance are co-administered by the regional offices of DEA and Development Planning. All rights, licenses and permits for Namakwa Sands and KZN Sands are in good standing.
On the Western Cape of South Africa, Tronox holds mining rights over an area of 19,205 hectares (47,457 acres) and surface rights totaling 17,111 hectares (43,542 acres) at the active mining site near Brand-se-Baai, commonly referred to as our Namakwa Sands operation. On the Eastern coast of South Africa, Tronox controls mining and prospecting rights covering approximately 4,041 hectares (9,986 acres) at KZN, where surface access rights are either owned directly by KZN Sands or secured by agreements with Mondi Ltd. A further 4,790 hectares (11,836 acres) of prospecting rights are held by a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of KZN Sands at the nearby Port Durnford and Waterloo project areas which we are currently in the process of converting into a mining right.
Mineral Tenure - Australia
Our Australian mineral properties are divided into the Northern and Southern Operations on the Swan Coastal Plain of Western Australia and the Eastern Operations in the Murray Basin of New South Wales and Victoria. Mining tenements in Australia are managed at the State or Territorial level. In Western Australia, Mining Leases,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Exploration Licenses and Retention Licenses are granted and administered by the Western Australian Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration, and in New South Wales by the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - Resources, under the authority of the Western Australian Mining Act 1978 and the New South Wales Mining Act 1992, respectively. Principal environmental authorities are the Western Australian Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and the NSW Environment Protection Authority.
At the Northern Operations in Western Australia, Tronox controls mining leases, exploration and other licenses and rights covering a total 45,322 hectares (111,993 acres). Mining and Public Environmental Review plans are approved for the Cooljarloo mine and approval to extend the environmental plans for Dongara were recently approved. Environmental Protection Agency approval of Cooljarloo West has also been approved. The main Cooljarloo Mining Lease covers 9,744 hectares (24,078 acres). We hold 11 mining leases at the Dongara project and one exploration license. Three older mining leases are held at our Jurien property, the site of a former heavy minerals open pit mine operated by another party in the 1970’s.
Tronox holds mining and exploration licenses totaling 512,410 hectares (1,306,693 acres) in the South Perth Basin and Murray Basin heavy mineral provinces of Australia.
The Southern Operations in the southwest of Western Australia comprises 29 mining leases, 1 exploration license, 2 retention licenses, 2 general purpose leases, and 2 miscellaneous licenses totaling 8,485 hectares.
Tronox holds 6 mining leases, 15 exploration licenses, and 2 retention licenses in our Eastern Operations in the Murray Basin of New South Wales and Victoria. The tenements cover approximately 435,900 hectares (4,359 sq km). Four mining leases west of Pooncarie, NSW cover approximately 6,800 hectares (16,803 acres) surrounding our rehabilitation sites at Snapper, Ginkgo and Crayfish. Two mining leases of 6,159 hectares are located at the Atlas Campaspe mining project in NSW.
Mineral Sands - South Africa and Australia
HMS deposits are natural concentrations of granular minerals of high density (conventionally above about 2.85 gm/cm3). Titanium-rich HMS deposit source rocks are typically granitic and/or high-grade metamorphic crystalline rocks. The heavy mineral assemblage of a particular HMS deposit generally reflects the ilmenite, leucoxene, natural rutile and zircon contained in local and regional source rocks. Factors that influence the formation of HMS deposits include erosion of crystalline source rocks, fluvial transport to the coastline, longshore drift, coastal geomorphology, deposition of heavy minerals, and prolonged natural sorting of heavy minerals by water and wind, according to the density, size and shape of HM grains. Post-depositional geological processes that can affect the economic viability of a HMS deposit include in situ weathering, induration of the host sands, and natural preservation or destruction of the HMS deposit.
Not all heavy minerals have commercial value, and a distinction is made between the Total Heavy Minerals (“THM”) and VHM. Typical VHM assemblages include the titanium-iron oxide mineral, ilmenite (FeTiO3); rutile, a premium TiO2 feedstock mineral; leucoxene, a natural alteration product of weathered ilmenite; and zircon, a zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) valuable for its use in a diverse range of industrial and construction applications. Other HM of commercial value, such as garnet, staurolite, kyanite and monazite, may be recovered as by-products.
Of interest recently is the potential use of monazite, both in contained ore bodies and in stockpiled sources located near the mineral separation processes at Namakwa Sands. Monazite has increasing commercial value due to a high concentration of rare earth metals which can be separated by well-established methods. Rare earths are expected to remain in high demand as demand grows for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and consumer goods that require rare earth-containing permanent magnets. We currently do not know the metallurgical recovery potential for the monazite as our processes have historically focused on traditional value minerals. Given the increasing importance of monazite, we are evaluating new processes to better understand the grade and recoverability of monazite in our mining tenements.
Reporting of Reserves and Resources
The following tables summarize our reserves and resources as well as their contained in situ total heavy minerals (THM) and heavy mineral (HM) assemblages as of December 31, 2025 based on long-term price assumptions. The sole purpose of the operational and related financial data presented is to demonstrate the economic feasibility of the mineral reserves for the purpose of reporting in accordance with subpart 1300 of
A-21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Regulation S-K, and should not be used for other purposes. The information presented originates from comprehensive techno-economic modelling, which is subject to change as assumptions and inputs are updated, and as a result does not guarantee future operational or financial performance. Consistent with industry standards, Tronox values its mineral reserves based on the prices at which its titanium and zircon mineral products would sell on freely traded markets, as forecasted by third-party industry consultancies.
All of our reserves are reported on the basis of our 100% ownership of in-place, economically extractable ore, determined from comprehensive geological, mining, processing and economic models. Reserve classifications of proven or probable are based on the level of confidence in the appropriate resource estimates. Our residual resources are those areas of mineralized ground which have either had insufficient drilling to confidently define the shape, grade and recoverability of the valuable minerals as well as not yet having been subjected to a detailed assessment of the impact of validated “modifying factors” on the revenue generating potential of a deposit.
Our mineral resource and reserve estimates are based on extensive geological resource models modified by various mining and processing factors and assessed in a techno-economic model for commercial viability. This constitutes a Life-of-Mine-Plan (LOMP) for each operation. Our LOMP and reserve estimates are optimized with respect to anticipated revenues and costs.
Assumptions are developed from our extensive experience and include mining parameters, processing recoveries, operating costs, foreign exchange, and rehabilitation. Each of our operations reconcile predicted mining and processing metrics with actual production and recovery data on a monthly basis. Our models are updated as necessary and used to determine ore boundaries based on economic assumptions, certain of which are set forth below the following tables. For reserves where there is substantial asset investment post the minerals production stage, parameters that best utilize the whole value chain may take precedence over maximizing value from the minerals business unit, therefore impacting the optimal mining shell and effective cut-off grade.
Not all HMS deposits are alike. Our reserves, as set forth in the table below, have a higher confidence level because we have undertaken sufficient drilling density and validation. Resources present unconfirmed continuity and variability in grade, HM assemblage, or other characteristics, as well as the indeterminate impact of modifying factors, and hence are not classified as reserves.
Within the broad category of resources, inferred resources have a lower level of geological confidence than do indicated resources with measured resources being the highest confidence level from a geological perspective. Only indicated resources and measured resources can be converted to reserves with proven reserves having a higher level of economically exploitable confidence than probable reserves. The following tables have been determined to be economically- exploitable by individuals competent and qualified to act under the new disclosure requirements as “Qualified Persons.” Each of the Qualified Persons is an employee of an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For clarity, in the tables below, our reserves have been excised from the resources as they can be proven to be profitably mined and processed. The remaining deposit exceeds cut-off grade, but have not yet been demonstrated to be profitable by virtue of either recoverable grade, operating cost or capital required to develop, are separately defined as resources.
The overall 2.5% decrease in resources at all operating sites in 2025 as compared to 2024 is primarily attributed to the reclassification of material into reserves at Cooljarloo and KZN.
The overall 0.8% decrease in reserves at all operating sites in 2025 as compared to 2024 is primarily attributed to mining depletion, which has been mostly offset by increases in reserves at Cooljarloo and KZN.

Abbreviations, Definitions, and Notations
Reserves —mineralized material inclusive of dilution, determined to be economically and legally exploitable as of December 31, 2025, classified as either Probable Reserves or Proven Reserves, based on level of confidence.
Resources – mineralized ground which has either had insufficient drilling to confidently define the shape, grade and recoverability of the valuable minerals as well as not yet having been subjected to a detailed assessment of the impact of validated modifying factors on the revenue generating potential of a deposit.
LOMP — Life-of-Mine-Plans (LOMPs) have been developed for each mine site by teams of Tronox professionals based on the mineral reserves and resources, realistic assumptions of geological, mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social, governmental, engineering, operational and all other modifying factors in sufficient detail to demonstrate at the time of reporting that extraction is reasonably justified.
THM — total heavy minerals, densities >2.85 g/cm3 regardless of commercial value
VHM — valuable heavy minerals, including Ilmenite, Rutile, Leucoxene & zircon, reported as percentage of THM.
Minor computational discrepancies may be due to rounding.
Cooljarloo Dredge Mine reserves include Cooljarloo and Cooljarloo West
Key Assumptions — economic viability is determined by techno-economic modeling that integrates geological, analytical and geotechnical databases, mining parameters, metallurgical recoveries, known or forecast operating costs, cost of capital, and product sales prices at time of production. Historical sales prices by themselves are unreliable predictors of future prices, and our forecasts are based on our private contracts, internal and external market research.
Disclosures of mineral reserves traditionally include a cut-off grade, the grade in a mineral deposit below which material cannot be profitably mined and processed. However, economic exploitability is determined by many modifying factors other than grade, and most modern mining operations, including ours, use detailed computer models utilized by employees who possess the experience and technical expertise to identify what parts of a deposit are economically exploitable.
Production forecasts of commercial-quality titanium mineral and zircon concentrates from reserves are taken from our Life-of-Mine Plans. Mining recoveries are typically close to 100%, but metallurgical recoveries in each concentration step can vary widely, as a function of ore and mineral characteristics. We apply recovery factors based on actual operating data.
Mineral reserve estimates, life-of mine projections, and revenue assumptions are inherently forward-looking and subject to market conditions, uncertainties, and unanticipated events beyond our control.

Tronox has one active mine site at Cooljarloo that was originally controlled by a State Agreement Act with the State of Western Australia. This area was covered by State Agreement Act MSA 268 which was originally granted in 1989 for a period of 21 years. It was extended for a further 10-year term which expired in 2020. MSA 268 was replaced by Mining Lease M70/1398 which will expire in 2041.
Cooljarloo West is located within Mining Leases 70/1314 and 70/1333. Osprey is located within Mining Lease 70/1413.
Granting of rights to mine are pending environmental approval.
The minerals in Western Australia belong to the Crown (the State of Western Australia) and Tronox is obligated to pay a 5% revenue- based royalty on saleable mineral products. This is factored into the valuation models and optimizations conducted by Tronox.
A private royalty of 10c/t of VHM is paid for a portion of the northern section of the Cooljarloo tenement. Based on the current mine plan, mining in this royalty agreement area will cease by 2025 and the amounts paid are not material to the business.
On Mining Lease 70/1333 Tronox agrees to pay the previous holder of the exploration lease a royalty of 1% of a previously agreed price for each tonne of Valuable Heavy Mineral recovered from the Mining Lease. The cost will also be immaterial to the business.

The Cooljarloo Mine is located at coordinates latitude 30"39’s and longitude 115"27'E.
Location of Western Australian Operations

Infrastructure
The Brand Highway is a major bitumen road running from Muchea, just North of Perth up to Geraldton, a provincial city 450 km north of Perth. The road runs just past the Western boundary of the Chandala site and just past the Eastern boundary of the Cooljarloo mine site. It is suitable for all weather and wide loads.
There is a 132 kV power line that also runs from Perth to Geraldton which passes near the Chandala site and through the mine site. Tronox has a substation on its property that draws and reticulates 22 kV power from the sub-station connected to the main high voltage distribution line. At the various locations power is ultimately transformed down to 415 V. The same situation exists for Chandala and it gets power from the same main line.
Two gas pipelines run just a kilometer to the West of the Chandala site. They are referred to as the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas pipeline (DBNG) and also the Parmelia line which originates just south of Geraldton. The Chandala Mineral Separation Plant currently gets supply for driers and re-heaters from the Parmelia line.
The countryside surrounding both Chandala and Cooljarloo is relatively flat. This made the construction of buildings and fixed plant straightforward. Storage ponds for solid waste from the MSP were able to be made quite shallow only being a few meters above natural ground level.
There is a large freshwater aquifer (Yarragadee) immediately to the west of the Brand highway adjacent to the Chandala site. Tronox has a borefield there that supplies the licensed 1 megaliter per annum of water that the site requires. Even in times of severe drought, supply from this aquifer has never been at risk. Cooljarloo draws from an extensive field of relatively shallow bores and also an extension of the Yarragadee aquifer. To limit pumping distances, it has been preferable to have multiple smaller bores around the site since the dredging operation has travelled more than 40 km within the mining lease area since 1989. Tailings disposal at Cooljarloo is all placed behind the dredging operations and incorporated into the rehabilitated profile. There is a registered waste disposal pit where wastes from the MSP, the Synthetic Rutile plant and from the Kwinana pigment plant are licensed to be stored. These pits cells are constructed above the water table and are clay lined. When each cell is full it is capped to minimize the ingress and egress of water.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Chandala operation utilizes two port facilities. The Port of Fremantle is used for export of bagged and containerized mineral products and the Port of Bunbury is used for bulk shipments. Tronox rents storage and warehousing facilities at or nearby to those sites.
For Cooljarloo there is a well-equipped modern permanent single person’s quarters (SPQ), capable of accommodating up to 160 people or approximately 70% of the work force. At Chandala, employees and contractors are primarily sourced from the Perth metropolitan and surrounding areas.
History
Cooljarloo
The Cooljarloo tenements were originally pegged in 1972 by Kamilaroi Oil Company following the discovery of the Eneabba Deposits. They were subsequently obtained by Yalgoo Minerals Pty Ltd and Tific Pty Ltd in 1985 which became part of TiO2 Corporation NL (TiO2).
In 1988 prior to mining commencing, the Cooljarloo Joint Venture was formed between Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp and Minproc Ltd, subsequent reorganizations of both partners led to 100% ownership under Tronox in 2012.
No geological data generated by owners prior to the formation of the Cooljarloo Joint Venture is in use.
Cooljarloo West
In 1990 drilling by Peko Exploration Ltd delineated a zone of deep low-grade mineralization but further drilling failed to intercept economic mineralization. The tenements were relinquished in 1992.
Image Resources later pegged the area which were acquired by Tronox in 2005. Drilling completed by Tronox in 2007 delineated the deposits named Woolka Road, Harrier and Kestrel and Resources and Reserves are based only on data generated by Tronox.

Conversion of in ground grade to saleable product yield (recovery), considering all the losses during mining and processing, is typically 85% for ilmenite, 88% for rutile, 79% for Leucoxene and 83% for zircon.
For a comparison of the reported reserves as of December 31, 2025with the reserves as of December 31, 2024, see table on page 24. The increase in reserves in 2025 as compared to 2024 is primarily attributable to the inclusion of Osprey and 33,000S satellite pits into reserves. This has offset depletion due to mining.
Condition of Property
The Cooljarloo project was established in 1988. Being situated on an historical coastline, the ore body is made up of conventional mineral sands strandlines and eminently suited to dredge mining and gravity concentration.
Since commencement, the operation has been running continuously and has thus far consumed 671 Mt of ore at approximately 2.77% HM grade. The current reserves are 304 Mt tons at 1.8% HM grade, which gives a further 15 years of life. The current resources, which are exclusive of reserves, are 239 Mt at 1.6% HM.
Extensive and systematic exploration drilling activities are conducted at Cooljarloo and adjacent deposits on an annual basis to upgrade resources and reserves. Final reserve delineation drilling is completed to a 50m x 40m or 50m x 20m spacing depending on the geological complexities of the orebody. Final drilling is completed three or more years in advance of the mining face to allow timely and accurate mine planning to be completed. Over the past 15 years there has been an average of 52,000 meters of drilling completely annually at Cooljarloo. Drilling will continue in 2026.
Cooljarloo mine has operated with 2 dredges in the one pond since 1999. The original Ellicott Cooljarloo1 dredge operates in tandem with the smaller capacity Neumann built Pelican dredge which was brought into service in 2012. These bucket wheel dredges operate in a purpose-built pond which sits within the ore mining limit. The original dredge and concentrator were sized to operate at 12 Mt per annum but the original dredge has progressively been expanded and addition of the second dredge has seen the project expand to a maximum of 25Mt per annum to counteract the impact of lower ore grades and also enable improved resource utilization through economies of scale and increased product values.
A wet concentrator also floats in the dredge pond and is on two pontoons covering 2,250 square meters. Spiral gravity concentrators separate the higher density valuable minerals from the lower density trash mineral and lowest density tailings quartz grains. The spiral circuit consists of five stages. Roughers, middlings, cleaners, recleaners and classifiers. Both dredges pump their feed simultaneously to the floating wet concentrator via floating pipelines and high voltage cables for power.
Over the past 37 years of operation the metallurgical circuitry of the wet plant has remained relatively unchanged save for expanding the throughput to approximately 2850 tph. This allowed the processing of lower grade ore which has been shown to have a better revenue to cost ratio compared to the original project assumptions. At the time of the capacity increase, spirals that were at the end of their useful life were replaced with more modern

units, of higher efficiency, to cope with both additional throughputs, the lower average feed grade, higher clay fines in the ore and maintain an acceptable mineral recovery.
HMC at Cooljarloo is loaded by front end loader into 93 tonne triple road trains for haulage to the Chandala Mineral Separation Plant (MSP). Both the mine and MSP are based on physical separation processes. There is no need for chemical or physical alteration to achieve good product recovery and quality. Attritioning is a critical process step to ensure clean mineral surfaces that are responsive to the electrostatic HT separators. The attritioned HMC is presented by filter belt to a natural gas fired drier that not only removes the moisture but heats the mineral so that it is most responsive to the primary stage electrostatic separation circuit.
The unit operations at the MSP are many and varied but the significant ones are as follows:
vibrating and reciprocating woven wire screening;
mechanical slurry attritioning;
gas fired fluid bed drying, reheating and cooling;
HT Roll, Coronastat and Plate electrostatic separators;
Rare Earth Drum, Rare Earth Roll, Induced Roll and Semi-Lift magnetic separators;
Hydrosizing; and
spiral gravity and centrifugal jig concentrators.
The equipment and infrastructure at both Cooljarloo and Chandala are in good order having been upgraded several times such that the total throughput of the mining operation now averages 21 Mt per annum and whilst the MSP has not needed capacity increase, updated technology and implementation of continuous improvement programs have resulted in significant increases in mineral recoveries.
Since Cooljarloo is an operating mine and processing plant, capital is mostly a sunk cost. There is minor stay in business capital incurred annually and there is US$55M of capital forecast with the move to the nearby Cooljarloo West dredging orebody expected in approximately 2033.
Tronox Eastern Operations (Atlas-Campaspe)
Tronox Mining Australia Ltd is a subsidiary of Tronox Holdings plc and is the operator of Tronox Eastern Operations which includes:
The Snapper, Ginkgo and Crayfish rehabilitation sites, located 110 km north of Wentworth in southwestern New South Wales, where former mineral sands mines are undergoing restoration following the completion of mining;

The minerals in New South Wales belong to the Crown (the State of NSW) and Tronox is obligated to pay a 4% revenue-based royalty on all saleable minerals produced.
All the land encompassing the intended mining area has been purchased by Tronox so no mining compensation payments to landowners will be required as part of the Atlas-Campaspe Project.
The Atlas mine is located at coordinates latitude 33"53’S and longitude 143"21’E. The Campaspe mine is located at coordinates latitude 33"49’S and longitude 143"22’E.
Regional location of Atlas/Campaspe Project

Infrastructure
Atlas
The Atlas mine site is located in southwestern New South Wales, 120 km northeast of Mildura and 90 km north of Balranald. Access to the license area is via the Balranald Ivanhoe Hwy, the Boree Plains – Gol Gol road and then through the official Atlas Mine Access Road. The Atlas mine consists of a centrally based Wet Concentrator Plant (WCP) and a Dry Mining Unit (DMU) both rated to 500 tph.
An on-site 200-person accommodation village has been constructed to house the workforce and consists of permanent and demountable buildings and facilities such as: Administration and Office Building; Workshops; Process Area Crib Room and Amenities; Gymnasium; Basketball Court and Main Store. Electrical power is supplied directly from a centralized 5 Mwh diesel generation system.
Hydrological investigations identified a bore field location at the Northern end of the mine path, approximately 5km from the central start-up pit location. This bore field supplies water for the mining operations and ancillaries. A total of seven bore pumps supply the required volume.
A RO Plant and potable water treatment plant sized to deliver 115m3/hour has been installed to supply wash water for the HMC and potable water for site buildings, wash pads and the accommodation village.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A communication building is located adjacent to the communication tower for telecom and the Local Area Network (LAN). Data and telephone connection between the communications building, process area, administration area and accommodation village are via a buried fiber optic cable.
HMC from the Atlas mine is transported by a combination of trucks and train. The road network consists of approximately 37 km of existing unsealed roads between the Atlas-Campaspe Mine site access road and the intersection with the sealed Balranald-Ivanhoe Road. The remaining section is a 138 km long bitumen road leading to the Ivanhoe rail siding. HMC is loaded into a train for transport to the Broken Hill Mineral Separation Plant (BH MSP) over approximately 301 km of railway.
Campaspe Project Status and Site Development Works
At the conclusion of mining at Atlas production is expected to transition to Campaspe. Detailed mine planning and final approvals are underway. The development of the Campaspe site and required plant to operate includes:
fencing of the mine lease (47 km);
construction of the access road (11 km);
construction of the mine corridor road (5.4 km);
construction of the process water dam (210,000 m3);
development of the mining pit;
development of the bore field and water reticulation systems;
relocation of workshops and amenities;
expansion of the accommodation village from 200 to 300 beds;
construction of a Primary Concentration Plant (PCP) and
relocation of Ginkgo/Snapper field booster pumps and piping
History
In the Murray Basin fine heavy mineral occurrences were identified from 1982 to 1986 by Rio Tinto. Subsequently many smaller, coarser and high-grade deposits were also identified, and these formed the first mineral sands mines to be developed in the region. Bemax Resources discovered the Ginkgo, Snapper and Crayfish deposits at Pooncarie in the early to mid-2000’s. Mining commenced at Ginkgo in 2005 and Snapper in 2010. Mining at Snapper was completed in April 2022, Crayfish was completed in July 2023 and Ginkgo was completed in June 2024.
The Atlas-Campaspe Project replaced production from the completed Snapper, Ginkgo and Crayfish deposits. Atlas commenced full production in early 2023.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Condition of Property
Construction at Atlas commenced in 2022 and ramped up to full production in the first quarter of 2023. The Atlas deposit is mined using a dry mining method for both the overburden stripping and ore extraction.
We believe the equipment and infrastructure (including the DMU, WCP and all associated infrastructure) at Atlas is in good condition.
Dry mining at Campaspe is expected to replace production from Atlas when Atlas finishes during 2028. Detailed design work and additional approvals are presently being undertaken.
Extensive and systematic exploration drilling activities have been conducted at Atlas and Campaspe on an annual basis to upgrade resources and reserves. Final reserve delineation drilling is completed to 100m x 20m spacing. Final drilling is completed three or more years in advance of the mining face to allow timely and accurate mine planning to be completed. As such, all drilling has been completed at Atlas. Final infill drilling has also been completed for the first five (5) years of mining at Campaspe. Over the past 13 years there has been an average of 50,000 meters of drilling completed annually at Tronox’s Eastern Operations. Drilling will continue at Campaspe and surrounding areas in 2026.
Namakwa Mine
Tronox Mineral Sands Pty Ltd is a subsidiary of Tronox Holdings Plc and holds 100% of the rights at the Namakwa Sands Operations, which is located along the west coast of the Western Cape province, South Africa. The Namakwa Sands Operations includes:
The Northern operations consisting of the Namakwa Sands Mine at Brand-se-Baai and the Mineral Separation Plant at Koekenaap.
The Southern operations that consist of the Smelting Operations at Saldanha Bay along with administrative headquarters.
Run of mine production at the Namakwa Sands Mine comes from two shallow open-cast mines where excavators and front-end loaders extract free-flowing and lightly cemented sand. The ore is conveyed to two primary concentrator plants (PCP) that utilize wet spirals to produce a heavy mineral concentrate. These concentrates are pumped to a secondary concentrator plant (SCP) where wet high-intensity magnetic separators (WHIMS) and spirals are used to produce a zircon-rich non-magnetic concentrate, and a magnetic concentrate comprising mainly ilmenite. An ilmenite rich secondary stream from the SCP is reprocessed at a separate plant called the UMM Plant to produce a crude ilmenite. SCP and UMM concentrates are separately trucked to and treated at the MSP near Koekenaap, where a series of magnetic and electrical high-tension separators are employed to produce finale saleable ilmenite, rutile, and zircon products. These products are transported from the Mineral Separation Plant to the Smelter using the Saldanha-Sishen railway network.
The Southern Operations consist of the administrative headquarters and smelter operations and are located 3 km from the Saldanha export harbor. The smelting process comprises the carbonaceous reduction of ilmenite using DC arc furnaces to produce titanium slag and pig iron. The received rutile and zircon products as well as the titanium slag are stored in on-site silos from where it is distributed in bag, container, or bulk shipment format.
Mining tenements in South Africa are managed at a national level. In the Western Cape, Mining Rights and Prospecting Rights are granted and administered by the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMR&E).

Infrastructure
Potable water is sourced from the Olifants River Irrigation Scheme canal system. Water is distributed to the MSP and Brand-se-Baai (BsB) for process and domestic use. Water is pumped to BsB via a 56 km pipeline at the rate of 280 m3/h. This line also provides water to farmers along the line and rehabilitation areas at the Namakwa Sands Mine. Namakwa Sands holds servitude rights in the area adjacent to the tar sealed road between the Mineral Separation Plant and the Mine. Seawater is used in the primary and secondary separation processes and is pumped via the seawater pump station installation close to the Namakwa Sands Mine.
ESCOM supplies the MSP via the 132 kV line from the Juno substation. A 132/22 kV, 20 MVA transformer from ESCOM supplies both the MSP and a local farm.
A-35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The minerals are transported with purpose-built trailers and trucks between the Namakwa Sands and the MSP at Koekenaap. The trucks travel on a tar seal road constructed for this purpose. A Sishen-Saldanha railway line connects the MSP and Smelter sites. The minerals are transported from the MSP to the Smelter/port storage in closed container trucks, to prevent mineral losses and contamination.
History
Exploration for heavy minerals along the coastal strip of southwest Africa led to the discovery and subsequent delineation of the Namakwa Sands deposit near Brand-se-Baai in 1987. In September 1994 Anglo Operations Ltd commenced mining and processing at the West mine ore body. In 2008 Exxaro Resources acquired the Namakwa operations from Anglo and then in 2012 Tronox acquired 74% of Namakwa Mineral Sands Pty Ltd. In 2021 Tronox acquired the whole of Namakwa Mineral Sands Pty Ltd.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Condition of Property
The operations at Namakwa Sands were originally established by Anglo in 1996 and have operated continuously since that time. Open-cast mining, also known as strip mining, both classified as surface mining techniques, takes place in two distinct areas known as the East and West Mines. The East Mine comprises predominantly shallow mineral sands stripping, whereas the West Mine entails shallow stripping of mineral sands followed by a deeper open-cast mining operation recovering lightly cemented materials to about 40 meters.
More than 200,000 meters of drilling has been completed to date, to define the pre-mine Namakwa mineral resources base from surface down to bedrock. In-fill drilling, assaying and metallurgical test work will continue over the next decade with the strategy to upgrade current mineral resources to fully measured status, as well as converting mineral resources to mineral reserves, with a focus on proven mineral reserves realization.
The mining and mineral processing flowsheet and equipment of the Northern Operations have remained basically the same since the last throughput upgrade in 2008. The equipment and infrastructure at both mines are in sound working order, having been upgraded such that the total throughput of the mining operations now averages around 23 Mt per annum. A major mine development project, is to be operational in 2026 is currently in the execution stage to extract and beneficiate the deeper lying ore in the East Mine beneath the shallow sands that are nearing its end of life.
Other changes include minor equipment replacements and technology updates, as well as circuit re-configurations as part of an embedded continuous improvement drive. Most recently, a small standalone scavenger plant has been added to the SCP flowsheet to augment attritioned magnetic concentrate production by consuming excess unattritioned ilmenite produced from the WHIMS circuit. Routine work maintenance programs are solidly entrenched, being directed by physical asset care plans targeting the maximum life and efficiency of plant, property and equipment holistically.
KZN Sands
Tronox KZN Sands Operations, which are located along the east coast of the Kwa-Zulu Natal province, South Africa are wholly owned subsidiaries of Tronox Holdings Plc, and include the:
Fairbreeze Mine, immediately south of the Mtunzini township with the Primary Wet Plant (PWP) situated a further 8 km south of Mtunzini.
Central Processing Complex (CPC), 50 road km north of Mtunzini, just outside the town of Empangeni, is where heavy mineral concentrates are processed into mineral products and ilmenite is further converted to titanium rich slag and pig iron in two direct current arc furnaces. The laboratory and mineral testing facilities are also located at CPC.
A hybrid mining method is employed at Fairbreeze Mine, utilizing track dozers to break lightly cemented ore layers in combination with high- pressure hydraulic mining using water monitor guns to pump slurried ore to the Primary Wet Concentrator (PWP) for wet gravity recovery of heavy minerals.
The resultant heavy mineral concentrate is trucked to the CPC, which is configured with relatively standard equipment to produce saleable ilmenite, rutile and zircon products. The ilmenite is dispatched to the bordering smelting process encompassing the carbonaceous reduction of ilmenite using DC arc furnaces to produce titanium slag and pig iron. The rutile and zircon products as well as the titanium slag are stored in on-site silos from where it is distributed in bag, container, or bulk shipment format destined for the Richards Bay harbor.
Mining tenements in South Africa are managed at a national government level. In KwaZulu-Natal, Mining Rights and Prospecting Rights are granted and administered by the regional office of the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE).

Mining Rights and Surface Ownership

Infrastructure
Fresh water is sourced from the Mhlathuze River upgraded installation that originally supplied the Hillendale Mine. This system was upgraded to a pipeline of 750 mm nominal diameter over approximately 33 km to the Fairbreeze Mine and discharging into the raw water dam, from where it is further distributed for mining and minerals processing, as well as potable use.
Bulk electricity supply for the Fairbreeze Mine is from 88 kV and 132 kV ESCOM power lines that run adjacent to the residue storage facilities and feeds the Fairbreeze substation.
Access to the PWP is from off ramps at Bridge 4 on the national highway N2, south of the town of Mtunzini. Road transport for HMC to the MSP at Empangeni, a distance of 50 km, is along the N2 highway utilizing side tipping trucks. Gypsum waste and MSP sand tailings are returned on the backhaul. There is another route between Fairbreeze and the MSP along the R102 that can be used in emergencies. Railway networks in and around the region are suitable for the cargo requirements of the harbor and local industry and are directly connected to the national network for import/export purposes. The Richards Bay harbor operates a very large coal-handling terminal and controls a wide range of import and export cargos. Durban also has port facilities that Tronox uses to export containerized and bagged product from.
History
Natal Mineral Sands (NMS), prospected for mineral sands on Hillendale and Fairbreeze in the northern coast of KwaZulu-Natal during the 1980’s. Iscor Limited purchased NMS in 1994 and mining activities commenced in 2001 at the Hillendale Mine. In 2012, Tronox announced the acquisition of 74% of KZN Mineral Sands operations. Production commenced at Fairbreeze in 2015 and in 2021 Tronox acquired the whole of the remaining portion it did not own of the KZN Sands operations.

Conversion of in ground grade to saleable product yield (recovery), considering all the losses during mining and processing, is typically 76% for ilmenite, 75% for rutile, and 80% for zircon.
For a comparison of the reported reserves as of December 31, 2025 with the reserves as of December 31, 2024, see table on page 24. The increase in reserves in 2025 as compared to 2024 is primarily attributable to updated information.
Condition of Property
In 2001, the Hillendale Mine started to supply HMC concentrate to the CPC, in Empangeni for further minerals processing to saleable mineral products. In 2015 after its useful life, and a production-break, most of the Hillendale Mine’s useful, movable equipment was transferred to the nearby newly established Fairbreeze Mine. Mining at Hillendale Mine was exclusively hydraulic mining, but due to the partially semi-consolidated nature of the Fairbreeze ore bodies, a hybrid open-cast mining method is employed at Fairbreeze Mine, utilizing track dozers to break up the ore where required to assist high- pressure hydraulic mining using water monitor guns to pump slurried ore to the PWP for wet gravity recovery of heavy minerals.
Close to 90,000 meters of drilling has been completed to date to define the pre-mine Fairbreeze mineral resources base from surface down to bedrock. Drilling, assaying and metallurgical test work will continue over the next decade with the strategy to upgrade current mineral resources to fully measured status, as well as converting mineral resources to mineral reserves, with a focus on proven mineral reserves realization. The
A-39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

equipment and infrastructure of the Fairbreeze Mine and PWP are in sound working order, having been upgraded as such that the total throughput of the mining operation averaged around 10 Mt per annum for the initial Phase 1 upgrade. Freshly supplied HMC continued to utilize the existing infrastructure at the CPC, Empangeni, being a fully functional mineral separation plant for zircon, ilmenite and rutile products and smelting operations using two DC arc furnaces to produce of TiO2 slag and pig iron, on the same site.
More recently a Phase 2 expansion of the operation at Fairbreeze Mine was commissioned in order to maintain heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) production due to lower THM grades in the ore. The expansion involves increasing the mining and PWP processing rate to about 16 Mt per annum, which require upgrades to the upfront desliming circuit, a further upgrade of the clay fines thickening and residue disposal equipment, rougher spiral capacity, increased concentrator building and additional process water pumping capacity. Mineral recoveries will be maintained following the expansion as will product quality. A residue storage facility (RSF) called MegaSebeka is currently in place and operational, however with the recent increase in mineral reserves, mine life and planned mining rate, an adjacent area called the Everglades RSF will be constructed nearby.
Otherwise, the MSP used to convert HMC into saleable mineral products is the same that was used for the KZN project’s original mining at Hillendale. Other changes include minor equipment replacements and technology updates, as well as circuit re-configurations as part of an embedded continuous improvement drive. Routine work maintenance programs are solidly entrenched, being directed by physical asset care plans targeting the maximum life and efficiency of plant, property and equipment holistically.
Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, as well as the other information contained in this report, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The following risk factors are not necessarily presented in order of relative importance and should not be considered to represent a complete set of all potential risks that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
Market conditions, as well as global and regional economic downturns that adversely affect the demand for our end-use products, could adversely affect the results of our operations and the prices at which we can sell our products, thus, negatively impacting our financial results.
Our revenue and results of operations are significantly dependent on sales of TiO2 products and zircon. Demand for these products historically have been linked to global, regional and local GDP and discretionary spending, which can be negatively impacted by regional and world events or economic and market conditions. Such events can cause a decrease in demand for our products and market prices to fall, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. A substantial portion of our products and raw materials are commodities that reprice as market supply and demand fundamentals change, and we have recently been experiencing a depressed trend in the commodity cycle for TiO2. Accordingly, product margins and the results of operations tend to vary with changes in the business cycle.
A significant portion of the demand for our TiO2 products comes from manufacturers of paint and plastics. A significant portion of the demand for zircon comes from construction and other industrial end markets. Our customers may experience significant fluctuations in demand for their own end products because of economic conditions, changes in consumer demand, or increases in raw material and energy costs. In addition, with respect to the zircon market, we believe that China currently accounts for approximately 50% of the world’s demand for zircon. However, there is currently a weakening demand in the domestic Chinese ceramics end-market as well as an increase in domestic Chinese zircon sand production, partially attributable to the Chinese continued focus on mining rare earth bearing minerals, which is adding to the global zircon supply. A prolonged economic downturn in China could result in reduced zircon and TiO2 demand in China as well as Chinese domestic zircon producers increasing exports of zircon at low prices which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
A-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The price of our products, in particular, TiO2, zircon, and pig iron, have been, and in the future may be, volatile. Price declines for our products will negatively affect our financial position and results of operations.
Historically, the global market for TiO2, zircon and pig iron have been volatile, and those markets are likely to remain volatile in the future. Prices for TiO2, zircon and pig iron may fluctuate in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of, and demand for, these products, market uncertainty and other factors beyond our control, and we have recently been experiencing a depressed trend in the commodity cycle for TiO2. Factors that affect the price of our products include, among other things:
overall economic conditions;
the level of customer demand particularly in the paint, plastics and construction industries;
the level of production and exports of our products globally, including the impact of competitors increasing their capacity and exports, in particular Chinese competitors, as well as the price of such exports being offered to customers at lower prices;
the level of production and cost of materials, such as chlorine, sulfuric acid, sulfur, and anthracite, used to produce our products, including rising prices of raw materials due to inflation;
the cost of energy consumed in the production of TiO2, feedstock and zircon, including the price of natural gas, pet coke and electricity, in particular, the increasing electricity costs relating to our South African operations;
domestic and foreign governmental regulations, tariffs or other trade disputes, regulations and taxes;
political conditions or hostilities and unrest in regions where we manufacture and/or export our TiO2, zircon and feedstock/other products; and
major public health issues which could cause, among other things, macroeconomic disruptions.
Pricing pressure, along with demand fluctuations, with respect to our TiO2 products, zircon and pig iron can make it difficult to predict the cash we may have on hand at any given time, and a continued period of price declines and/or demand declines may materially and adversely affect our financial position, cash generation, liquidity, ability to service and repay our debt, pay dividends, operate our business, fund our liquidity and capital needs, including through the capital markets and for the purpose of financing planned capital expenditures and results of operations.
Our industry and the end-use markets in which we compete are highly competitive and are characterized by excessive production capacity, particularly in China. Competition and excess production capacity may adversely affect our results of operations and operating cash flows.
Each of our markets is highly competitive. Competition in the TiO2 industry is based on a number of factors such as price, product quality, and service. We face significant competition from major international and smaller regional competitors, especially producers in China. Chinese producers have significantly expanded their TiO2 production capacity in recent years and the volume of their exports and certain Chinese producers have also publicly announced their intention to continue to expand their TiO2 production capacity and aggressive exports efforts. Moreover, the increased Chinese TiO2 production capacity, along with the prolonged economic downturn in China, is resulting in increasing quantities of TiO2 being exported to other regions of the world in which we compete typically at lower prices.
We compete with a large number of mining companies with respect to zircon. Zircon producers generally compete on the basis of price, quality, logistics, delivery, payment terms and consistency of supply. Moreover, increased Chinese production of zircon from both heavy mineral concentrates imported from Africa and Australia, and the mining of monazite to support the Chinese domestic rare earth industry, along with the prolonged economic downturn in China, is resulting in increasing quantities of zircon being exported by China to other regions of the world in which we compete typically at lower prices.
In addition, we face substantial risk that our customers could switch to our competitors’ products in response to any number of developments including lower price offerings by our competitors for substantially the same
A-41

products, new product development by competitors, or with respect to zircon customers, switching to lower priced substitute products. Our inability to develop, produce or market our products to compete effectively against our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Although certain jurisdictions have imposed anti-dumping duties or similar duties against TiO2 imports from China, there can be no assurance that such duties will benefit our business, and if such duties are reduced, removed or not extended, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
The European Commission, Brazil, India, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on the importation of TiO2 products originating in China. The anti-dumping duties imposed by the European Commission in January 2025 will remain in effect for an initial period of five years until January 2030 with the possibility of an extension for an additional five years. The anti-dumping duties imposed by Brazil’s Chamber of Foreign Trade in October 2025 are also definitive and will be in place for an initial period of five years until October 2030 with the possibility of an extension for an additional five years. The antidumping duties imposed by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in October 2025 will also be in place for an initial period of five years until October 2030 with the possibility of an extension for an additional five years. The Indian anti-dumping duties became definitive in May 2025, but such duties were stayed by an Indian state court due to perceived procedural issues. Although we believe such definitive duties will ultimately be reinstated, we cannot predict when such duties will be reinstated, or if they will be reinstated at all. If reinstated, the Indian duties will also have the possibility of an extension for an additional five years when they expire in May 2030.
We may benefit from these duties due to the impact they may have on the price at which Chinese importers sell TiO2 in these jurisdiction as well as on the volume of exports of Chinese-made TiO2 to these jurisdictions. However, there can be no assurance that these duties will prove effective in increasing the price at which such Chinese producers sell TiO2 in the jurisdictions that have or will impose anti-dumping duties nor in decreasing the volume of TiO2 sold by Chinese exporters. In addition, Chinese TiO2 producers are also increasingly looking for alternative ways to evade such anti-dumping duties, including through the acquisition of non-Chinese TiO2 pigment plants. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. Anti-dumping duties are generally subject to periodic reviews and, occasionally, legal challenges, which can result in their revocation, suspension or reduction. If these anti-dumping duties and tariffs were to be revoked or reduced in the future, or if they do not adequately combat China’s unfair trade practices, our results of operations and financial position could be adversely impacted.
We also benefit from the duties issued by the U.S. government pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on Chinese-origin TiO2 products, which are currently set at 25% (“Section 301 Duties”). Similar to anti-dumping duties, these duties impact the volume and price of Chinese TiO2 products originating in China imported into the United States. Section 301 Duties may be modified, removed, extended, reduced or increased by executive action, or TiO2 could be excluded from the Section 301 Duties in the future. Any such changes to the Section 301 Duties on TiO2 products could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
An increase in the price of energy or other raw materials, or an interruption in our energy or other raw material supply, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our mining, beneficiation, smelting and production processes consume significant amounts of energy and raw materials, the costs of which can be subject to worldwide, as well as, local supply and demand, as well as other factors beyond our control. Fuel and energy linked to commodities, such as diesel, natural gas, heavy fuel oil and pet coke, and other consumables, such as chlorine, sulfuric acid, illuminating paraffin, electrodes, sulfur and anthracite, consumed in our TiO2 manufacturing and mining operations form an important part of our TiO2 operating costs. We have no control over the costs of these consumables, many of which are linked to some degree to the price of oil, and the costs of many of these raw materials may fluctuate widely for a variety of reasons, including changes in availability, major capacity additions or reductions, or significant facility operating problems. In addition, certain key raw materials used in our operations are currently primarily sourced from China so any export restrictions or limits imposed by the Chinese government on such raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Moreover, the ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict has resulted in,
A-42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and may continue to result in, increased uncertainty with respect to the supply of energy and other energy-dependent commodities for our TiO2 production facilities located in the European Union and the United Kingdom, as well as other raw materials, such as anthracite, for our slag furnaces located in South Africa. Increased costs of electricity and disruptions in the supply of electricity due to long-standing operational issues at the sole, state-owned energy supplier in the Republic of South Africa, Eskom, could increase the costs of production, or disrupt operations, at our mines and beneficiation operations in that country. Availability of such consumables could also be impacted by transportation capacity constraints or other interruptions. These fluctuations could negatively affect our operating margins, our results of operations or planned capital expenditures. In addition, due to our global footprint and reliance on key raw materials from around the world, we are particularly reliant on shipping vessels to transport such raw materials as well as our finished goods. If the costs of raw materials, utilities, transportation and similar costs rise, our operating expenses will increase and could adversely affect our business, especially if we are unable to pass price increases relating to raw materials, utilities, transportation and similar costs through to our customers.
The markets for many of our products have seasonally affected sales patterns.
Historically, the demand for our products is subject to seasonal fluctuations. TiO2 is widely used in paint and other coatings where demand increases prior to the painting season in the Northern Hemisphere (spring and summer). Additionally, although zircon is generally a non-seasonal product, it is negatively impacted by the winter and Chinese New Year celebrations due to reduced zircon demand from China. We may be adversely affected by existing or future cyclical changes, and such conditions may be sustained or further aggravated by anticipated or unanticipated changes in regional weather conditions. For example, poor weather conditions in a region can lead to an abbreviated painting season, which can depress consumer sales of paint products that use TiO2.
We are dependent on, and compete with other mining and chemical businesses for, key human resources in the countries in which we operate, and our business will suffer if we are unable to hire or deploy highly skilled employees.
We compete with other chemical and mining companies, and other companies generally, in the countries in which we operate to attract and retain key human resources at all levels with the appropriate technical skills and operating and managerial experience necessary to continue operating and expanding our businesses. These operations use modern techniques and equipment and accordingly require various types of skilled workers. The success of our business will be materially dependent upon the skills, experience and efforts of our key officers and skilled employees. Competition for skilled employees may cost us in terms of higher labor costs or reduced productivity. In addition, certain of our production facilities and mining operations are situated in remote locations which may make it more difficult to attract and retain the skilled workers required. As a result, we may not be able to attract, retain and deploy skilled and experienced employees. Should we lose any of our key personnel or fail to attract, retain and deploy key qualified personnel or other skilled employees, our business may be harmed and our operational results and financial condition could be affected.
Given the nature of our chemical, mining and smelting operations, we face a material risk of liability, production delays and additional expenditures from industrial accidents.
Our business is exposed to, among other things, industrial accidents the occurrence of which could delay production, suspend operations, increase repair, maintenance or medical costs and, due to the vertical integration of our operations, could have an adverse effect on the productivity and results of operations of a particular manufacturing facility or on our business as a whole. Furthermore, during operational breakdowns resulting from any such industrial accident, the relevant facility may not be restored to full operations within the anticipated timeframe, which could result in further business losses. Over our operating history, we have incurred incidents of this nature. If any of the equipment on which we depend were severely damaged or were destroyed by fire or otherwise, we may be unable to replace or repair it in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost, which would impact our ability to produce and ship our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Equipment failures and deterioration of assets may lead to production curtailments, shutdowns or additional expenditures.
Our operations depend upon critical equipment that must be periodically maintained and upgraded in order to avoid suffering unanticipated breakdowns or failures. The occurrence of equipment failures or deterioration of assets could delay production, suspend operations, increase repair, maintenance or medical costs and, due to the
A-43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

vertical integration of our operations, could have an adverse effect on the productivity and results of operations of a particular manufacturing facility or on our business as a whole. In addition, assets critical to our mining and chemical processing operations may deteriorate due to wear and tear or otherwise sooner than we currently estimate. Such deterioration may result in additional maintenance spending and additional capital expenditures. If these assets do not generate the amount of future cash flows that we expect, and we are not able to refurbish them or procure replacement assets in an economically feasible manner, our future results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Our results of operations and financial condition could be seriously impacted by security breaches, including cybersecurity incidents.
We rely on information technology systems across our operations to manage our business including, but not limited to, our accounting, finance, and supply chain functions. Our information technology is provided by a combination of internal and external services and service providers. Further, our business involves the use, processing, storage and transmission of information about customers, suppliers and employees using such information technology systems. Our ability to effectively operate our business depends on the security, reliability and capacity of these systems.
Like most major corporations, during the normal course of business, we have been the target of cyberattacks, including phishing or ransomware attacks, from time to time, and we expect to be the target of such cyberattacks in the future. For instance, the Cristal business we acquired in April 2019 was subject to a significant cybersecurity attack in 2017. Failure to effectively prevent, detect and recover from security breaches, including attacks on information technology and infrastructure by hackers; viruses; breaches due to employee error or actions; or other disruptions could seriously harm our operations as well as the operations of our customers and suppliers. Such serious harm can involve, among other things, misuse of our assets, business disruptions, loss of data, unauthorized access to trade secrets and confidential business information, unauthorized access to personal information, legal claims or proceedings, reporting errors, processing inefficiencies, negative media attention, reputational harm, loss of sales, remediation and increased insurance costs, and interference with regulatory compliance. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, these types of cybersecurity threats and incidents, which may be material.
We have put in place training and security measures designed to protect against cyberattacks, phishing, security breaches and misappropriation or corruption of our systems, intentional or unintentional disclosure of confidential information, or disruption of our operations. As these threats continue to evolve, particularly around cybersecurity, we may be required to expend significant resources to enhance our control environment, processes, practices and other protective measures. Despite these efforts, we may not be able to prevent cyberattacks and other security breaches and such events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ore resources and reserve estimates are based on a number of assumptions, including mining and recovery factors, future cash costs of production and ore demand and pricing. As a result, ore resources and reserve quantities actually produced may differ from current estimates.
The mineral resource and reserve estimates are estimates of the quantity and ore grades in our mines based on the interpretation of geological data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques, as well as from feasibility studies. The accuracy of these estimates is dependent on the assumptions and judgments made in interpreting the geological data in accordance with established guidelines and standards. Our mineral reserves represent the amount of ore that we believe can be economically mined and processed, and are estimated based on a number of factors.
There is significant uncertainty in any mineral reserve or mineral resource estimate. Factors that are beyond our control, such as the ability to secure mineral rights, the sufficiency of mineralization to support mining and beneficiation practices and the suitability of the market may significantly impact mineral resource and reserve estimates. The actual deposits encountered and the economic viability of mining a deposit may differ materially from our estimates. Since these mineral resources and reserves are estimates based on assumptions, we may revise these estimates in the future as we become aware of new developments. To maintain TiO2 feedstock and zircon production beyond the expected lives of our existing mines or to increase production materially above projected levels, we will need to access additional reserves through exploration or discovery.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we are unable to innovate and successfully introduce new products, or new technologies or processes reduce the demand for our products or the price at which we can sell products, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our industries and the end-use markets into which we sell our products experience periodic technological change and product improvement. Our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to gauge the direction of commercial and technological progress in key end-use markets or if we fail to fund and successfully develop, manufacture and market products in such changing end-use markets.
In addition, new technologies or processes have the potential to replace or provide lower-cost alternatives to our products, such as new processes that reduce the amount of TiO2 or zircon content in consumer products which in turn could depress the demand and pricing for TiO2 or zircon, respectively. We cannot predict whether technological innovations will, in the future, result in a lower demand for our products or affect the competitiveness of our business. We may be required to invest significant resources to adapt to changing technologies, markets and competitive environments.
The Company may not be successful in arranging required financing and/or developing a financeable structure for its rare earth initiatives, and even if the required financing is obtained and/or a financing structure is achieved, the Company may not be successful in developing a viable rare earth supply chain.
The Company’s ability to successfully implement its rare earth initiatives is contingent upon arranging adequate financing and/or structuring a financeable model. In 2025, for example, we received coordinated, non-binding and conditional letters of support / interest from Export Finance Australia and Export-Import Bank of the United States, respectively, for up to an aggregate of $600 million in limited or non-recourse financing to support the development of Tronox’s rare earth supply chain. There can be no assurance that the required funding will be available on acceptable terms - or at all - or that the Company will be able to satisfy any conditions imposed by potential governmental agencies or other third-party lenders, investors, or partners, including without limitation as to structuring. Additionally, the Company’s plans to develop a rare earth supply chain outside of China, in particular in the US and Australia, depend on numerous uncertain factors, including but not limited to, the outcomes of pre-feasibility studies, negotiations with third parties, access to processing and infrastructure, regulatory approvals, favorable market demand, availability of skilled personnel, and geopolitical considerations. Failure to secure the necessary funding or to achieve progress in developing such supply chains and structuring could materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to meaningfully develop a rare earth business. In addition, historically, the Company has sold the monazite contained in its mines in unconcentrated form as a waste product rather than processing it into rare earth oxide, and the Company has no experience in managing a standalone rare earth business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard.
RISKS RELATING TO THE GLOBAL NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS
We are exposed to the risks of operating a global business.
We have operations in jurisdictions around the globe which subjects us to a number of risks, including:
adapting to unfamiliar regional and geopolitical conditions and demands, including political instability, civil unrest, expropriation, nationalization of properties by a government, imposition of sanctions, changes to import or export regulations and fees, renegotiation or nullification of existing agreements, mining leases and permits;
increased difficulties with regard to political and social attitudes, laws, rules, regulations and policies within countries that favor domestic companies over non-domestic companies, including customer- or government-supported efforts to promote the development and growth of local competitors;
economic and commercial instability risks, including those caused by sovereign and private debt default, corruption, and new and unfamiliar laws and regulations at national, regional and local levels, including taxation regimes, tariffs and trade barriers, including any additional tariffs in the United States or retaliatory tariffs imposed by other governments, exchange controls, repatriation of earnings, and labor and environmental and health and safety laws and regulations;
implementation of additional technological and cybersecurity measures and cost reduction efforts, including restructuring activities, which may adversely affect our ability to capitalize on opportunities;
A-45

major public health issues which could cause, and have caused, disruptions in our operations or workforce;
war, political conditions, hostilities, including, but not limited to, the ongoing Russia and Ukraine and Middle East conflicts, or terrorist activities;
difficulties enforcing intellectual property and contractual rights in certain jurisdictions; and
unexpected events, including fires or explosions at facilities, and natural disasters, including as a result of climate-related events.
South Africa, where we have large mining assets and derive a significant portion of our revenue and profit, poses distinct operational risks which could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In South Africa, we currently operate two significant mining assets, as well as accompanying separation plants and smelting operations, and derive a significant portion of our profit from the sale of zircon. Our mining and smelting operations depend on the electrical grid operated by Eskom, the sole-state-owned energy supplier, as well as the electrical power generated by Eskom. In the past, Eskom has not been able to reliably provide electrical power and there is no assurance that such reliability of electrical power and the associated energy grid will continue in the future which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we have also recently experienced increased electricity prices in South Africa and although we have been trying to reduce our dependency on Eskom through the use of renewable energy sources, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively mitigate any future electricity prices that are expected to occur in the future. If Eskom continues to increase the price of electricity in the future and we are unable to effectively mitigate such prices it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operations in South Africa are reliant on services provided by the State-owned, sole provider of rail transport, Transnet Freight Rail and ocean transport, Transnet National Port Authority (collectively “Transnet”). Furthermore, Transnet provides extensive dockside services at both the ports of Richards Bay and Saldanha Bay from where we export bulk quantities of TiO2 feedstock to our pigment plants worldwide and pig iron. Like Eskom, Transnet faces chronic operational and financial challenges. In the past, the Port of Richards Bay, which is owned and operated by Transnet, was impacted by two separate events, including a significant fire, which damaged part of the Port’s infrastructure, causing increased shipment delays and costs to us. Currently, Transnet’s rail transport services at the Port of Richards Bay is not operational, and as such, we are presently using trucking services to transport all of our raw material from our KZN operations to the port of Richards Bay. Shipment delays at the port of Richards Bay have persisted for the last several years, including 2025, and we believe such delays will continue in 2026 and beyond. Delays or interruptions at either the rail service or the ports in which we receive and/or export material could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, our KZN Sands operations currently use approximately 316,000 gigajoules of Sasol gas annually, which is currently available only from Sasol Limited (Sasol). As such, an interruption in the supply of gas from Sasol could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
In addition, under South African law, our South African mining operations are subject to various environmental authorizations that govern each operation. These authorizations require, among other conditions, that mining operations maintain certain environmental standards, including air and water quality limits and post-rehabilitation obligations. Any changes by governmental authorities to these limits and license conditions could increase our costs of operations thereby affecting our operational results and financial condition.
The aforementioned operational risks, as well as any other foreseen or unforeseen operational risks primarily related to doing business in South Africa, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As an emerging market, South Africa poses a challenging array of long-term political, social and economic risks.
South Africa continues to undergo political, social and economic challenges. South Africa has also experienced instances of civil unrest which resulted in significant damage to the national supply chains and logistics. The area near our KZN operations is one of the areas in which such unrest has occurred. Changes to, or instability in, the
A-46

TABLE OF CONTENTS

economic, social or political environment in South Africa which cause civil unrest, shortages of production materials, interruptions to transportation networks, or labor unrest could result in production delays and production shortfalls, and materially impact our production and results of operations.
The South African government has recently embarked on a process of identifying and securing land for persons who were previously dispossessed of such land as a result of Apartheid policies. For instance, the South African government has released a draft land expropriation bill which contemplates that, where it is in the “public interest”, land may be expropriated by the South African government, without compensation being payable to the current owners. While the South African government has indicated that such measures will be applied initially to state-owned land, it is possible that such measures may extend to agricultural and mining areas. In the event that the land on which the Namakwa Sands and KZN Sands operations are situated become the subject of a land claim under any such proposed or future land expropriation bill, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The South African government’s exchange control regulations require resident companies to obtain the prior approval of the South African Reserve Bank to raise capital in any currency other than the Rand, and restrict the export of capital from South Africa. While the South African government has relaxed exchange controls in recent years, it is difficult to predict whether or how it will further change or abolish exchange control measures in the future. These exchange control restrictions could hinder our financial and strategic flexibility, particularly our ability to use South African capital to fund acquisitions, capital expenditures, and new projects outside of South Africa.
Our South African operations have been affected by inflation in South Africa in recent years. Employment costs and wages in South Africa have increased in recent years, resulting in significant cost pressures for the mining industry. Prolonged or heightened inflation and associated cost pressures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our South African operations have entered into various collective agreements with organized labor regulating wages and working conditions at our mines and smelter operations. There have been periods when various stakeholders have been unable to agree on dispute resolution processes, leading to threats of disruptive industrial action disputes. Due to the high level of employee union membership, our South African operations are at risk of production stoppages for indefinite periods due to strikes and other labor disputes. Although we believe that we have good labor relations with our South African employees, we may experience labor disputes in the future.
In addition, although we believe that our relationships with our various local communities are good, the areas in which our South African operations are situated are the traditional homelands of various tribal groupings that are historically politically volatile. This volatility persists today and frequently results in violent, destructive behaviors. In addition, the physical security situation continues to deteriorate and we have been the victim of immaterial theft and are aware that other industrial mining operations near ours are frequently the target of sophisticated mineral syndicates capable of stealing industrial minerals on a relatively large scale. Increased volatility, related civil unrest and further deterioration in the security situation may result in production stoppages and/or the destruction and theft of assets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Political and social instability, and unrest, and actual, or potential, armed conflicts in the Middle East region may affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
Our operations in KSA have been affected in the past, and may be affected in the future, by political, social and economic conditions from time to time prevailing in, or affecting, KSA or the wider Middle East region, including by rocket attacks from armed rebel groups. For example, since 2011, a number of countries in the Middle East region have witnessed, and are currently witnessing, significant social unrest, including widespread public demonstrations, and, in certain cases, armed conflict, terrorist attacks, diplomatic disputes, foreign military intervention and a change of government. In addition, in the recent past there have been a number of attacks related to the conflicts in the Middle East on commercial shipping vessels in and around the Red Sea which could ultimately impact the availability of shipping routes and/or ocean freight, as well as increase the shipping costs, for raw material to our Yanbu pigment plant as well as TiO2 exports out of our Yanbu plant. Specifically, KSA faces a number of challenges arising mainly from the relatively high levels of unemployment among the Saudi youth population, requests for political and social changes, and the security threat posed by certain groups. Should KSA experience similar political and social unrest as found in other countries in the Middle East, the
A-47

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Saudi Arabian economy could be adversely affected, our TiO2 plant located in Yanbu could be temporarily disrupted or materially adversely affected and our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Our results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
The financial condition and results of operations of our operating entities outside the U.S. are reported in various foreign currencies, primarily the South African Rand, Australian Dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling and Brazilian Real and then converted into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate for inclusion in the financial statements. A significant portion of our costs are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, any volatility of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies creates uncertainty for, and may have a negative impact on, reported sales and operating margin. In addition, our operating entities often need to convert currencies they receive for their products into currencies in which they purchase raw materials or pay for services, which could result in a gain or loss depending on fluctuations in exchange rates. In order to manage this risk, we have from time to time, entered into forward contracts to buy and sell foreign currencies.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR DEBT AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
We may need additional capital in the future and may not be able to obtain it on favorable terms or at all, including as a result of downgrades in our credit ratings, which may make it difficult for us to meet our financial commitments.
Our ability to obtain cash or other credit from external sources is impacted by many factors, including (i) debt covenants that limit our total borrowing capacity; (ii) the total amount of our outstanding secured and unsecured debt and the financial ratios and metrics thereof; (iii) increasing interest rates applicable to our floating rate debt; (iv) increasing demands from third parties for financial assurance or credit enhancement; (v) credit rating downgrades, which could limit our access to additional debt; (vi) a decrease in the market prices or value of our common stock and outstanding debt obligations; and (vii) volatility in public debt and equity markets.
Our substantial level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay amounts due in respect of our indebtedness, and could limit our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, or other general corporate requirements; require a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes, thereby reducing the amount of cash flows available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes; and increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and general industry conditions.
For example, our credit ratings may impact the cost and availability of future borrowings and, accordingly, our overall cost of capital. Our credit ratings reflect each rating organization’s opinion of our financial strength, operating performance, and ability to meet our debt obligations. The Company’s credit ratings were downgraded in 2025 by both Moody’s Ratings and S&P Global Ratings to “B2” and “CCC+,” respectively. Ratings by rating agencies may be changed or withdrawn at any time and no assurance can be given that we will not be subject to further downgrades. There is no guarantee that debt or equity financings will be available in the future to fund working capital, capital expenditures, or other general corporate purposes, or that such financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section and Note 19 of notes to consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the market price of our debt obligations is based upon many factors, including expectations regarding the likelihood of future ability to effectuate repayment, the amount recoverable in the event of a default, our ability to pay interest and other ongoing debt service obligations, and the risk tolerance of each debt holder. If these or other factors cause the market price of our debt obligations to decrease, it may make it difficult or impossible for us to obtain additional capital in the future or meet our financial commitments.
Our capital expenditure projects may need additional capital in the future and may not realize expected investment returns.
Our business is capital intensive, and our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to maintain our manufacturing operations and invest in those operations to expand capacity and remain competitive from a cost perspective. We may require additional capital in the future to finance capital investments, for a variety of purposes, including (i) replacement of mines that are end of life, (ii) repair, maintenance, expansion, or optimization of existing production facilities or mining operations, (iii) ongoing research and development
A-48

TABLE OF CONTENTS

activities, (iv) business development opportunities in rare earth or other critical minerals, and (v) general working capital needs. For instance, we have substantially implemented the multi-year global business transformation that began in 2020 and includes the acquisition and implementation of new operational and financial systems, technology and processes, including a global ERP system, with additional work that will be necessary to complete projects in certain countries. Although we have taken, and will continue to take, significant steps to mitigate the potential negative impact of the implementation of such new digital systems, there can be no assurance that these procedures will be completely successful.
Additionally, if we undertake other capital expenditure projects, they may not be completed on schedule, at the budgeted cost, or at all. Moreover, our revenue may not increase immediately upon the expenditure of funds on a particular project. As a result, we may not be able to realize our expected investment return, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and ability to access additional sources of capital.
We are a holding company that is dependent on cash flows from our operating subsidiaries to fund our debt obligations, capital expenditures and ongoing operations.
All of our operations are conducted, and all of our assets are owned, by our operating companies, which are our subsidiaries. We intend to continue to conduct our operations at the operating company level. Consequently, our cash flows and our ability to meet our obligations or make cash distributions depends upon the cash flows of our operating companies, and the payment of funds by our operating companies in the form of dividends or otherwise. The ability of our operating companies to make any payments to us depends on their earnings, ability to generate cash, the terms of their indebtedness, including the terms of any credit facilities, or indentures, and legal restrictions regarding the transfer of funds.
Our ability to service our debt and fund our planned capital expenditures and ongoing operations will depend on our ability to generate and increase positive cash flows, and our access to additional liquidity sources. Our ability to generate and increase positive cash flows is dependent on many factors, including many of the other risks described in this section entitled “Risk Factors”.
The agreements and instruments governing our debt contain restrictions and limitations that could affect our ability to operate our business, as well as impact our liquidity.
As of December 31, 2025, our total principal amount of debt outstanding was approximately $3.4 billion. Our credit facilities and senior secured notes indenture contain covenants that could adversely affect our ability to operate our business, our liquidity, and our results of operations. These covenants may restrict, among other things, our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:
incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;
complete asset sales, acquisitions or mergers;
make investments and capital expenditures;
prepay other indebtedness;
enter into transactions with affiliates; and
fund additional dividends or repurchase shares.
Certain of our credit facilities and notes indentures include requirements relating to the ratio of indebtedness or certain fixed charges to adjusted EBITDA. For instance, our Credit Agreement (as defined elsewhere herein) contains a springing financial covenant solely for the benefit of the revolving lenders of the Cash Flow Revolver (as defined elsewhere herein) under the Credit Agreement. The springing financial covenant requires compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of not greater than 4.75x (measuring the ratio of Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) if, on the last day of any fiscal quarter, revolving exposure (excluding undrawn or cash collateralized letters of credit) exceeds 35% of the aggregate principal amount of all revolving commitments under the Cash Flow Revolver. In addition, the breach of any covenants or obligations in our credit facilities or notes indentures, not otherwise waived or amended, could result in a default under the applicable debt obligations (and potentially cross-defaults to certain other debt obligations) and could trigger acceleration of those obligations, which in turn could trigger other cross defaults
A-49

TABLE OF CONTENTS

under other existing or future agreements governing our long-term indebtedness. In addition, the secured lenders under the credit facilities and/or secured note holders under our secured indenture could foreclose on their collateral, which includes substantially all our assets (including, among other things, inventory, receivables and related assets, and equipment, equity interests in subsidiaries and material real property, in each case subject to certain limitations and exceptions), and exercise other rights generally available to secured creditors. Any default under those credit facilities and/or secured indenture, could adversely affect our growth, our financial condition, our results of operations and our ability to make payments on our credit facilities, notes, and other financial obligations, and could force us to seek the protection of bankruptcy laws.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Our South African mining rights are subject to onerous regulatory requirements imposed by legislation and the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, the compliance with which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Black economic empowerment (BEE) legislation was introduced in South Africa to address inequalities from the Apartheid system by including historically disadvantaged South Africans in the mainstream economy. BEE legislation requires certain operations to be partially owned by historically disadvantaged South Africans and comply with provisions related to procurement and employment opportunities. On March 1, 2019, Mining Charter III came into effect requiring a 30% BEE shareholding structured through a special purpose vehicle as well as setting forth stringent requirements for procurement, employment quotas, and workers’ living conditions. In September 2021, the South African High Court ruled certain provisions of Mining Charter III unconstitutional, creating uncertainty about its status. Prior to Mining Charter III, Mining Charter II governed BEE in the mining sector, with a 26% ownership obligation. Our two South African operating subsidiaries are considered “once empowered always empowered” meaning that those companies with the requisite shareholding base as of December 31, 2014, will always qualify as “empowered” for retaining existing mining rights. This principle was confirmed by the South African High Court and applies to the renewal and transfer of mining rights. However, there is no assurance that any new legislation won't undermine this ruling, potentially having a material adverse effect on the South African companies ownership regime, requiring re-empowerment which will impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. However, there is no assurance that new legislation will not be enacted that would undermine the court’s ruling regarding the applicability of “once empowered always empowered” to the renewal and transfer of mining rights. In the event that “once empowered always empowered” does not ultimately apply to the renewal or transfer of mining rights it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our failure to comply with the anti-corruption laws of the U.S. and various international jurisdictions could negatively impact our reputation and results of operations.
Doing business on a global basis requires us to comply with the laws and regulations of the U.S. government and those of various international jurisdictions, and our failure to successfully comply with these rules and regulations may expose us to liabilities. In particular, our operations are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption laws and regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 (“U.K. Bribery Act”), as well as anti-corruption laws of the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Our global operations may expose us to the risk of violating, or being accused of violating, the foregoing or other anti-corruption laws. Such violations could be punishable by criminal fines, imprisonment, civil penalties, disgorgement of profits, injunctions, and exclusion from government contracts, as well as other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be very expensive, disruptive, and damaging to our reputation. Although we have implemented anti-corruption policies and procedures, there can be no guarantee that these policies, procedures, and training will effectively prevent violations by our employees or representatives in the future. Additionally, we face a risk that our distributors and other business partners may violate the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or similar laws or regulations. Such violations could expose us to FCPA and U.K. Bribery Act liability and/or our reputation may potentially be harmed by their violations and resulting sanctions and fines.
We are subject to many environmental, health and safety regulations.
Our operations and production facilities are subject to extensive environmental and health and safety laws and regulations at national, international and local levels in numerous jurisdictions relating to use of natural resources, pollution, protection of the environment, mine site remediation, transporting and storing raw materials
A-50

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and finished products, and storing and disposing of hazardous wastes among other materials. Moreover, certain environmental laws impose joint and several and/or strict liability for costs to clean up and restore sites where pollutants have been disposed or otherwise spilled or released. We cannot be certain that we will not incur significant costs and liabilities for remediation or damage to property, natural resources or persons as a result of spills or releases from our operations or those of a third party.
The costs of compliance with the extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or the inability to obtain, update or renew permits required for operation or expansion of our business could negatively impact our results of operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. If we fail to comply with the conditions of our permits governing the production and management of regulated materials, mineral sands mining licenses or leases or the provisions of the relevant jurisdictional laws in which we operate, these permits, mining licenses or leases and mining rights could be canceled or suspended, and we could be prevented from obtaining new mining and prospecting rights, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Additionally, we could incur substantial costs, including fines, damages, criminal or civil sanctions and remediation costs, or experience interruptions in our operations, for violations arising under these laws and regulations, including operating without the required permits, mining licenses or leases and/or mining rights. In the event of a catastrophic incident involving any of the raw materials we use, or chemicals or mineral products we produce, we could incur material costs as a result of addressing the consequences of such event.
Changes to existing laws governing operations, especially changes in laws relating to transportation of mineral resources, the treatment of land and infrastructure, contaminated land, the remediation of mines, tax royalties, waste handling and management, exchange control restrictions, environmental remediation, mineral rights, ownership of mining assets, or the rights to prospect and mine may have a material adverse effect on our future business operations and financial performance. There is risk that onerous conditions may be attached to authorizations in the form of mining rights, water-use licenses, miscellaneous licenses and environmental approvals, or that the grant of these approvals may be delayed or not granted.
Our TiO2 products are subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, that may impede or inhibit widespread usage of TiO2 and / or diminish the Company’s ability to sustain or grow its business or may add significant costs of doing business.
Current regulatory and societal demands for increased protection against products which may cause cancer, genetic mutations or other long-term health problems are resulting in increased pressure for more stringent regulation of our TiO2 products. We expect these trends to continue and the ultimate cost of compliance could be material. In particular, changes to product safety regulations could limit the use of, and demand for, our TiO2 products, require investment in new product development or the way we manufacture our existing products, and increase regulatory compliance expenditures for us and our suppliers.
For instance, the Health and Safety Executive in the U.K. has published the U.K.’s mandatory classification and labelling list, which includes the classification of TiO2 as a suspected carcinogen (in a powder form containing 1% or more of particles with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm). The classification became mandatory in the U.K. in October 2021.
In May 2021, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announced new guidelines which concluded that a certain digestible form of TiO2 known as E171 is no longer considered safe as a food additive due to uncertainty for genotoxicity. Though we do not manufacture E171, the EFSA guidelines indicate additional regulatory review of our TiO2 products is likely which could result in more stringent qualifications and use-restriction being applied or to the introduction of further classifications. It is also possible that heightened regulatory scrutiny could lead to claims by consumers or those involved in the production of such products alleging adverse health impacts. Any adverse outcomes with respect to regulatory investigations into the ongoing use of TiO2 in various sectors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there is no assurance that other materials which we add to our TiO2 products could be subject to increased regulations which could negatively impact our business.

Sustainability issues as they may be applicable to certain jurisdictions, including those related to climate change, may subject us to additional costs and restrictions, including increased energy and raw material costs, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as damage our reputation.
Climate change resulting from increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could present risks to our present and future operations from natural disasters and extreme weather conditions, such as flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires. Such extreme weather conditions could pose physical risks to our facilities and disrupt the operation of our supply chain, increase operational costs and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, if any of the equipment on which we depend were severely damaged or were destroyed by environmental hazards or otherwise, we may be unable to replace or repair it in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost, which would impact our ability to produce and ship our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. For instance, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the region of New South Wales, Australia where our Eastern Operations mining operations are located experienced historic flooding which resulted in, among other things, a delay in the commissioning of our Atlas mine as well as prevented feedstock mined at such site from being transported to our Australian pigment plants in a timely manner. Such flooding had an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in 2022 and 2023. Moreover, the impacts of climate change on global water resources may result in water scarcity, which could impact our ability to access sufficient quantities of water in certain locations and result in increased costs. For instance, we use significant amounts of water in our South Africa operations. Certain regions of South Africa have experienced in the past, and are prone to, drought conditions resulting in water restrictions being imposed in such areas. A prolonged drought in a region of South Africa where our operations are located may lead to water use restrictions which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The majority of our greenhouse gas emissions are generated from our TiO2 slag furnaces in South Africa, synthetic rutile kiln in Australia, and TiO2 pigment plants in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Australia, and Saudi Arabia. Concerns about the relationship between greenhouse gases and global climate change, and an increased focus on carbon neutrality, may result in new or increased legal and regulatory requirements on both national and supranational levels, to monitor, regulate, control and tax emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. A number of governmental bodies have already introduced, or are contemplating, regulatory changes in response to climate change, including regulating greenhouse gas emissions. Any laws or regulations that are adopted to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases could, among other things, (i) cause an increase to our raw material costs, (ii) increase our costs to operate and maintain our facilities including potentially causing the operation or maintenance of certain sites to be uneconomical, and (iii) increase costs to administer and manage emissions programs.
In addition, companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny relating to their sustainability policies. Increased focus and activism related to sustainability may hinder the Company’s access to capital, as investors may reconsider their capital investment as a result of their assessment of the Company’s sustainability practices. In particular, customers, investors and other stakeholders are increasingly focusing on environmental issues, including climate change, water use, and other sustainability concerns. Moreover, increased regulatory requirements, including in relation to various aspects of sustainability including disclosure requirements, may result in increased compliance or input costs of energy, raw materials or compliance with emissions standards, which may cause disruptions in the manufacture of our products or an increase in operating costs. Any failure to achieve our sustainability goals or a perception of our failure to act responsibly with respect to the environment or to effectively respond to new, or changes in, legal or regulatory requirements concerning environmental or other sustainability matters, or increased operating or manufacturing costs due to increased regulation, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our reputation.
If our intellectual property were compromised or copied by competitors, or if competitors were to develop similar intellectual property independently, our results of operations could be negatively affected. Further, third parties may claim that we infringe on their intellectual property rights which could result in costly litigation.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to protect and preserve our patents and unpatented proprietary technology, operational knowledge and other trade secrets (collectively “intellectual property rights”). The undetected or unremedied unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights or the legitimate development or acquisition of intellectual property related to our industry by third parties could reduce or eliminate any
A-52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

competitive advantage we have as a result of our intellectual property rights. If we must take legal action to protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property rights, any suits or proceedings could result in significant costs and diversion of our resources and our management’s attention, and we may not prevail in any such suits or proceedings. A failure to protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property rights could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Although there are currently no pending or threatened proceedings or claims known to us that are material relating to alleged infringement, misappropriation or violation of the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the future in which third parties allege that their patents or other intellectual property rights are infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated by us or our products or processes. In the event that any such infringement, misappropriation or violation of the intellectual property rights of others is found, we may need to obtain licenses from those parties or substantially re-engineer our products or processes to avoid such infringement, misappropriation or violation. We might not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or be able to re-engineer our products or processes successfully. Moreover, if we are found by a court of law to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of others, we could be required to pay substantial damages or be enjoined from making, using or selling the infringing products or technology. We also could be enjoined from making, using or selling the allegedly infringing products or technology pending the final outcome of the suit. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to litigation, the disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
The nature of our operations and status as a public company exposes us to possible litigation claims, including disputes with competitors, customers, shareholders (including purported class actions), equipment vendors, environmental groups and other non-governmental organizations, providers of shipping services as well as governmental agencies. Some of the lawsuits may seek fines or penalties and damages in large or indeterminable amounts, or seek to restrict our business activities. Because of the uncertain nature of any litigation and coverage decisions, we cannot predict the outcome of these matters or whether insurance claims may mitigate any damages to us. Litigation is very costly, and the costs associated with prosecuting and defending litigation matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. See Note 22 of notes to our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this report for further information regarding our commitments and contingencies.
We may be subject to claims that arise from activities prior to our emergence from bankruptcy in 2011.
On November 30, 2010, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) confirmed our plan of reorganization (the “Plan”), which became effective in February 2011. The Plan included a discharge and release of any and all claims based on liabilities arising prior to emergence from the bankruptcy. Nonetheless, from time to time, we have received and in the future may receive inquiries or notices of potential or asserted claims arising under certain environmental laws or regulations with respect to properties our predecessor companies, or companies they acquired, may have owned or operated before our emergence from bankruptcy. We believe that the Plan confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court extinguished all such claims, and intend to vigorously defend against such claim. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against such claims and any adverse outcomes with respect to such claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our flexibility in managing our labor force may be adversely affected by labor and employment laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, many of which are more onerous than those of the U.S.; and some of our labor force has substantial workers’ council or trade union participation, which creates a risk of disruption from labor disputes and new laws affecting employment policies.
The vast majority of our employees are located outside the U.S. In most of those countries, labor and employment laws are more onerous than in the U.S. and, in many cases, grant significant job protection to employees, including rights on termination of employment. Moreover, many of our workforce outside the U.S. belong to unions and/or are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. As such, in such jurisdictions we are required to consult with, and seek the consent or advice of, various employee groups or works’ councils that represent our employees for any changes to our activities or employee benefits. This requirement could have a significant impact on our flexibility in managing costs and responding to market changes.

RISKS RELATING TO ACCOUNTING AND TAXATION
If our intangible assets or other long-lived assets become impaired, we may be required to record a significant noncash charge to earnings.
We have a significant amount of intangible assets and other long-lived assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Under IFRS, we review our intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances, indicating that the carrying value of our intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable, include, but are not limited to, a significant decline in share price and market capitalization, changes in the industries in which we operate, particularly the impact of a downturn in the global economy, as well as competition or other factors leading to reduction in expected long-term sales or results of operations. We may be required to record a significant noncash charge in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our intangible assets and other long-lived assets is determined, negatively impacting our results of operations.
Our ability to use our tax attributes to offset future income may be limited.
Our ability to use net operating losses (“NOLs”) and Section 163(j) interest expense carryforwards generated by us could be substantially limited if we were to experience an “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). In general, an ownership change would occur if our “5-percent shareholders,” as defined under Section 382 of the Code and including certain groups of persons treated as “5-percent shareholders,” collectively increased their ownership in us by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Although we believe we have sufficient protection of our approximately $4.3 billion of NOLs and/or approximately $370 million of Section 163(j) interest expense carryforwards, there can be no assurance that an ownership change for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes will not occur in the future. A corporation that experiences an ownership change will generally be subject to an annual limitation on the use of certain pre-ownership change losses and/or credits. Such a limitation could, for any given year, have the effect of increasing the amount of our U.S. federal and/or state income tax liability, which would negatively impact our financial condition and the amount of after-tax cash available for distribution to holders of our ordinary shares if declared by our board of directors.
We could be subject to changes in tax rates, adoption of new tax laws or additional tax liabilities.
We are subject to taxation in all of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our future effective tax rate could be affected by, among other things, changes in statutory rates and other legislative changes, or changes in determinations regarding the jurisdictions in which we are subject to tax or changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. From time to time, the U.S. federal, state and local and foreign governments make substantive changes to tax rules and their application, which could result in higher corporate taxes than would be incurred under existing tax law and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. From time to time, we are also subject to tax audits by various taxing authorities. For instance, we are currently under audit by the Australian Taxation Office for the calendar years 2017 - 2022. Although we believe our tax positions are appropriate, the final determination of any future tax audits could be materially different from our income tax provisions, accruals and reserves and any such unfavorable outcome from a future tax audit could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Failure to meet some or all of our key financial and non-financial targets could negatively impact the value of our business and adversely affect our stock price.
From time to time, we may announce certain key financial and non-financial targets that are expected to serve as benchmarks for our performance for a given time period, such as, projections for our future revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow. Our failure to meet one or more of these key financial targets may negatively impact our results of operations, stock price, shareholder returns and the prices of our debt securities. The factors influencing our ability to meet these key financial targets include, but are not limited to, changes in the global economic environment relating to our TiO2 products and zircon, changes in our competitive landscape, including our relationships with new or existing customers, our ability to introduce new products, applications, or technologies, our inability to complete strategic projects on budget or on schedule, our undertaking an acquisition, joint venture, or other strategic arrangement, and other factors described within this report, many of which are beyond our control.

RISKS RELATING TO INVESTING IN OUR ORDINARY SHARES
Concentrated ownership of our ordinary shares by Cristal may prevent minority shareholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest.
As of December 31, 2025, Cristal International Holdings B.V. (formerly known as Cristal Inorganic Chemical Netherlands Cooperatief W.A.), an affiliate of the National Titanium Dioxide Company Limited (“Cristal”), owned approximately 24% of our outstanding ordinary shares. As such, Cristal International may be able to influence fundamental corporate matters and transactions. This concentration of ownership, may delay, deter or prevent acts that would be favored by our other shareholders. The interests of Cristal International may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of our other shareholders. Also, Cristal International may seek to cause us to take courses of action that, in their judgment, could enhance their investment in us, but which might involve risks to our other shareholders or adversely affect us or our other shareholders.
In addition, under the shareholders agreement (the “Cristal Shareholders Agreement”) we entered into at the closing of the Cristal transaction with Cristal, as long as Cristal International and the three shareholders of Cristal (collectively, the “Cristal Shareholders”) collectively beneficially own at least 24,900,000 or more of our ordinary shares, they have the right to designate for nomination two directors of our board of directors (the “Board”). As long as the Cristal Shareholders collectively beneficially own at least 12,450,000 ordinary shares but less than 24,900,000 ordinary shares, they have the right to designate for nomination one director of the Board. The Cristal Shareholders Agreement also provides that as long as the Cristal Shareholders collectively beneficially own at least 12,450,000 ordinary shares they have certain preemptive rights. Also, pursuant to the Cristal Shareholders Agreement, Cristal has certain registration rights requiring the Company to register with the SEC shares that are owned and may be resold by Cristal.
As a result of these or other factors, including as a result of any offering of shares by Cristal, or the perception that such sales may occur, the market price of our ordinary shares could decline. In addition, this concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our ordinary shares because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning shares in a company with significant shareholders or with significant outstanding shares with registration rights.
English law and provisions in our articles of association may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our shareholders, and may prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management.
Certain provisions of the U.K. Companies Act 2006 (the “Companies Act”) and our articles of association may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us or changes in our management. For example, our articles of association include provisions that:
maintain an advance notice procedure for proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors;
provide certain mandatory offer provisions, including, among other provisions, that a shareholder, together with persons acting in concert, that acquires 30 percent or more of our issued shares without making an offer to all of our other shareholders that is in cash or accompanied by a cash alternative would be at risk of certain sanctions from our board of directors unless they acted with the prior consent of our board of directors or the prior approval of the shareholders; and
provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by a vote of the directors or by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders.
In addition, public limited companies are prohibited under the Companies Act from taking shareholder action by written resolution. These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.
Although we do not anticipate being subject to the U.K. City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, such Takeover Code may still have anti-takeover effects in the event the Takeover Panel determines that such Code is applicable to us.
The U.K. City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Takeover Code”) applies, among other things, to an offer for a public company whose registered office is in the U.K. (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man) and whose securities are not admitted to trading on a regulated market in the U.K. (or on any stock exchange in the
A-55

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Channel Islands or the Isle of Man) if the company is considered by the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Takeover Panel”) to have its place of central management and control in the U.K. (or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man). This is known as the “residency test.” The test for central management and control under the Takeover Code is different from that used by the U.K. tax authorities. Under the Takeover Code, the Takeover Panel will determine whether we have our place of central management and control in the U.K. by looking at various factors, including the structure of our board of directors, the functions of the directors and where they are resident.
Given that currently all of the members of our Board of Directors reside outside the United Kingdom, we do not anticipate that we will be subject to the Takeover Code. However, if at the time of a takeover offer, the Takeover Panel determines that we have our place of central management and control in the U.K., we would be subject to a number of rules and restrictions, including but not limited to the following: (1) our ability to enter into deal protection arrangements with a bidder would be extremely limited; (2) we might not, without the approval of our shareholders, be able to perform certain actions that could have the effect of frustrating an offer, such as issuing shares or carrying out acquisitions or disposals; and (3) we would be obliged to provide equality of information to all bona fide competing bidders.
As a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales, certain capital structure decisions requires approval of our shareholders, which may limit our flexibility to manage our capital structure.
The Companies Act generally provides that a board of directors of a public limited company may only allot shares (or grant rights to subscribe for or convertible into shares) with the prior authorization of shareholders, such authorization stating the maximum amount of shares that may be allotted under such authorization and specifying the date on which such authorization will expire, being not more than five years, each as specified in the articles of association or relevant shareholder resolution. We obtained previous shareholder authority to allot additional shares for a period from May 7, 2025 through the end of the Company’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholder, or if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after May 7, 2025.
The Companies Act generally provides that existing shareholders of a company have statutory pre-emption rights when new shares in such company are allotted and issued for cash. However, it is possible for such statutory pre-emption right to be disapplied by either shareholders passing a special resolution at a general meeting, being a resolution passed by at least 75% of the votes cast, or by inclusion of relevant provisions in the articles of association of the company. Such a disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights may not be for more than five years. We obtained previous shareholder authority to disapply statutory pre-emption rights for a period from May 7, 2025 through the end of the Company’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholder, or if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months of May 7, 2025.
The Companies Act generally prohibits a public limited company from repurchasing its own shares without the prior approval of its shareholders by ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of votes cast, and subject to compliance with other statutory formalities. Such authorization may not be for more than five years from the date on which such ordinary resolution is passed. We obtained previous shareholder authority to repurchase shares for a period from May 7, 2025 through the end of the Company’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholder, of if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after May 7, 2025.
Transfers of our ordinary shares outside The Depository Trust may be subject to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax in the U.K., which would increase the cost of dealing in our shares.
Except for ordinary shares received by a holder deemed to be an affiliate of us for purposes of U.S. securities laws, our ordinary shares have been issued to a nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and corresponding book-entry interests credited in the facilities of DTC. On the basis of current law and HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) practice, no charges to U.K. stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (“SDRT”) are expected to arise on the issue of the ordinary shares into DTC’s facilities or on transfers of book-entry interests in ordinary shares within DTC’s facilities.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to hold their ordinary shares in book entry form through DTC. Transfers of shares held in book entry form through DTC currently do not attract a charge to stamp duty or SDRT in the U.K. A transfer of title in the shares from within the DTC system out of DTC, including to certificate shares, and any subsequent transfers that occur entirely outside the DTC system will attract a charge to stamp duty at a rate of 0.5% of any consideration, which is payable by the transferee of the shares. Any such duty must be paid (and the
A-56

TABLE OF CONTENTS

relevant transfer document, if any, stamped by HMRC) before the transfer can be registered in our books. However, if those shares are redeposited into DTC, the redeposit will attract stamp duty or SDRT at the rate of 1.5% to be paid by the transferor.
We have put arrangements in place such that directly held ordinary shares cannot be transferred into the DTC system until the transferor of the ordinary shares has first delivered the ordinary shares to a depositary specified by us so that SDRT may be collected in connection with the initial delivery to the depositary. Any such ordinary shares will be evidenced by a receipt issued by the depositary. Before the transfer can be registered in our books, the transferor will also be required to put the depositary in funds to settle the resultant liability to SDRT, which will be charged at a rate of 1.5% of the value of the shares.
Our articles of association provide that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to determine any dispute brought by a shareholder in that shareholder’s capacity as such and certain other matters.
Our articles of association provide that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to determine any dispute brought by a shareholder in that shareholder’s capacity as such, or related to or connected with any derivative claim in respect of a cause of action vested in us or seeking relief on our behalf, against us and/or the board and/or any of the directors, former directors, officers, employees or shareholders individually, arising out of or in connection with our articles of association or (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) otherwise. This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the shareholder believes is favorable for disputes with us or our directors, former directors, officers, employees or shareholders which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, former directors, officers, employees or shareholders.
There may be difficulty in effecting service of legal process and enforcing judgments against us and our directors and management.
We are incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and a substantial portion of our assets are located outside of the U.S. The U.S. and the U.K. do not currently have a treaty providing for the recognition and enforcement of judgments, other than arbitration awards, in civil and commercial matters. The enforceability of any judgment of a U.S. federal or state court in the U.K. will depend on the laws and any treaties in effect at the time, including conflicts of laws principles (such as those bearing on the question of whether a U.K. court would recognize the basis on which a U.S. court had purported to exercise jurisdiction over a defendant). In this context, there is doubt as to the enforceability in the U.K. of civil liabilities based solely on the federal securities laws of the U.S. In addition, awards for punitive damages in actions brought in the U.S. or elsewhere may be unenforceable in the U.K.. An award for monetary damages under U.S. securities laws would likely be considered punitive if it did not seek to compensate the claimant for loss or damage suffered and was intended to punish the defendant.
Results from Operations and Key Performance Indicators (“KPI”)
Business Environment
The following discussion includes trends and factors that may affect future operating results:
Fourth quarter revenue increased 8% compared to the prior year, driven by higher sales volumes of TiO2 and zircon, higher sales of other products, and favorable exchange rate impacts partially offset by lower average selling prices, including mix of TiO2 and zircon. For the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, TiO2 revenue increased 8%, driven by a 13% increase in volumes and a 3% exchange rate tailwind partially offset by an 8% decrease in average selling prices including mix. Zircon revenue increased 4% driven by a 27% increase in volumes partially offset by a 23% decrease in average selling prices including mix. Revenue from other products increased 10% mainly due to higher sales volumes of pig iron. Gross profit decreased for the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 due to unfavorable impacts of average selling prices and mix and higher production costs and freight costs. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by higher TiO2 and zircon sales volumes and favorable exchange rate movements.
Sequentially, revenue increased 4% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2025 driven by higher sales volumes of TiO2 and zircon partially offset by unfavorable average selling prices including mix and lower sales volumes of heavy mineral concentrate tailings. TiO2 revenue increased 5% in the fourth quarter of
A-57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 compared to the third quarter of 2025 driven by a 9% increase in volumes partially offset by a 4% decline in average selling prices including mix. Zircon revenue increased 32% driven by a 42% increase in volumes partially offset by an 10% decrease in average selling prices including mix. Other products revenues decreased 17% sequentially primarily due to higher heavy mineral concentrate tailings sales in the third quarter. Gross profit decreased sequentially from the third quarter of 2025 to the fourth quarter of 2025 due to lower average selling prices and mix, lower other products revenue partially offset by higher sales volumes of TiO2 and zircon and improved production costs.
As of December 31, 2025, our total available liquidity was $674 million, including $199 million in cash and cash equivalents and $475 million available under revolving credit agreements. At December 31, 2025 our Noncurrent borrowings, net of unamortized discount and issuance costs was $3.4 billion. The Company also has no financial covenants on its term loans or bonds and only one springing financial covenant on its Cash Flow revolver facility.

Net revenues of $2,898 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by 6% compared to $3,074 million for the same period in 2024. Revenue decreased primarily due both lower sales volumes and average selling prices of Tio2 and zircon. Net revenues by type of product for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

volumes. Foreign currency positively impacted TiO2 revenue by $28 million due primarily to the strengthening of the Euro. Zircon revenues decreased $48 million primarily due to a 14% decrease in average selling prices including mix and a 1% decrease in sales volumes. Other products revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in sales volumes of heavy mineral concentrate tailings.
Gross profit of $250 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 9% of net revenues compared to 17% of net revenues for the same period in 2024. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to:
the unfavorable impact of 4 points due to a decrease in TiO2 and Zircon selling prices,
the unfavorable impact of 3 points due to higher production costs and freight costs, and
the unfavorable impact of 1 point due to decreased volumes of TiO2 and Zircon, partially offset by
the favorable impact of 1 point due to changes in foreign currency exchanges rates, primarily as a result of the South Africa Rand and Australian dollar.
Restructuring and other charges of $227 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 was related to both the Botlek and Fuzhou plant closures. Refer to Note 20 of notes to consolidated financial statements for further details.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $10 million when comparing the year ended December 31, 2025 to the prior year. The SG&A expenses decrease was primarily driven by a $7 million decrease in employee costs and a $3 million decrease in travel and entertainment.
Other operating (expense) income, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $(16) million loss, decreased $24 million from income of $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This was primarily driven by foreign exchange headwinds encountered during the current year versus the previous year.
Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $(261) million loss, decreased by $(514) million or (203)% compared to the same period in 2024 which was primarily driven by a $273 million decrease in gross profit combined with the $227 million of restructuring charges taken during the current year.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $24 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase is primarily due to the higher levels of both short-term and long-term borrowings balances during the current year.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $4 million compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to an overall decrease in our cash investments period over period.
Other non-operating (expense) income, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $(9) million of expense as compared to $22 million of income for the prior year. This decrease of $31 million was primarily driven by a $28 million (net of associated transaction costs) related to a sale of royalty interest in certain Canadian mineral properties that occurred in 2024 however did not recur during the current year.
The effective tax rate was 3% and (173)% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are iimpacted by a variety of factors, primarily income and losses in jurisdictions with unrecognized deferred tax assets, changes in tax rates, non-taxable income and expenses, prior year accruals, and rates different than the United Kingdom statutory rate. Additionally, the effective tax rates for each year is significantly influenced by the derecognition of previously recognized tax losses, credits and temporary differences in Brazil and the Netherlands during the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 11 of notes to consolidated financial statements for further information.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
There was an other comprehensive income of $172 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to other comprehensive loss of $72 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase of $244 million in comprehensive income was primarily driven by increased favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $261 million period over period, partially offset by a $11 million of unfavorable change in our derivative instruments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2025, our liquidity increased by $96 million to $674 million.

Historically, we have funded our operations and met our commitments through cash generated by operations, issuance of secured and unsecured notes, bank financings, borrowings under lines of credit and other financing arrangements. In the next twelve months, we expect that our operations will provide sufficient cash for our operating expenses, capital expenditures, interest payments and debt repayments, however, if necessary, we have the ability to borrow under our short-term credit facilities (see Note 19 of notes to consolidated financial statements). This is predicated on our achieving our forecast which could be negatively impacted by items outside of our control, including, among other things, macroeconomic conditions including tariffs, inflationary pressures, political instability including the ongoing Russia and Ukraine and Middle East conflicts and any expansion of such conflicts, and supply chain disruptions. If negative events occur in the future, we may need to reduce our capital spend, cut back on operating costs, and other items within our control to maintain appropriate liquidity.
Working capital (calculated as current assets less current liabilities) was $1.6 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2024.
At December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $155 million.
Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include (i) debt covenants that limit our total borrowing capacity; (ii) increasing interest rates applicable to our floating rate debt; (iii) increasing demands from third parties for financial assurance or credit enhancement; (iv) credit rating downgrades, which could limit our access to additional debt; (v) a decrease in the market price of our common stock and debt obligations; and (vi) volatility in public debt and equity markets.
Our credit rating with Moody’s changed from Ba3 stable outlook at December 31, 2024 to B2 negative outlook at December 31, 2025. Our credit rating with Standard & Poor’s rating changed from B positive and stable outlook at December 31, 2024 to CCC+ and negative outlook at December 31, 2025.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were invested in money market funds and we also receive earnings credits for some balances left in our bank operating accounts. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and money market accounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The financial institutions where our cash and cash equivalents are held are highly rated and geographically dispersed, and we have a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk.
The use of our cash includes payment of our operating expenses, capital expenditures, servicing our interest and debt repayment obligations, cash taxes, making pension contributions and making quarterly dividend payments. Going forward, we expect to continue to invest in our businesses through cost reduction, as well as growth and vertical integration-related capital expenditures including various mine extension and development projects, continued reductions in our debt and continued dividends.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Repatriation of Cash
At December 31, 2025, we held $199 million in cash and cash equivalents in these respective jurisdictions: $7 million in the United States, $33 million in South Africa, $57 million in Australia, $35 million in Brazil, $19 million in Saudi Arabia, $21 million in China, $26 million in Europe and $1 million in India. Our credit facilities limit transfers of funds from subsidiaries in the United States to certain foreign subsidiaries. In addition, at December 31, 2025, we held approximately $12 million of restricted cash of which $10 million is in the US related to the annual payment for the Hawkins Point Plant environmental liability, with the remaining balance in South Africa related to a profit-sharing arrangement and in Australia related to performance bonds.
At December 31, 2025, Tronox Holdings plc had foreign subsidiaries with undistributed earnings. Although we would not be subject to income tax on these earnings, we have asserted that amounts in specific jurisdictions are indefinitely reinvested outside of the parent’s taxing jurisdictions. These amounts could be subject to withholding tax if distributed, but the Company has made no provision for tax related to these undistributed earnings. The Company has removed its assertion that earnings in China are indefinitely reinvested, and the withholding tax accruals for potential repatriations from that jurisdiction are now reflected in the effective tax rate reconciliation in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.
Stock Repurchases
On February 21, 2024, in connection with the expiration in February 2024 of the Company’s previous share repurchase program, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company’s stock through February 21, 2027. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we made no repurchases of the Company’s stock.
Cash Dividends on Ordinary Shares
On February 11, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share to holders of our ordinary shares at the close of business on February 23, 2026, which will be paid on April 2, 2026.
Inventory Financing Arrangement
On July 29, 2025, we entered into an inventory financing arrangement whereby we agree with our counterparty to sell certain inventory, with short payment terms, and subsequently we repurchase such inventory at an agreed upon price with terms not to exceed 360 days. The agreed upon repurchase price is generally calculated as the original sale price plus financing charges and a nominal spread. As of December 31, 2025, we had financed inventory of $50 million and $2 million of accrued interest, which were included in “Obligations under inventory financing arrangements” and “Trade and other payables”, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 of financing charges that were recorded within “Interest and debt expense” on the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (loss).
In January 2026, we repaid in cash our payable due to the counterparty and shortly thereafter, we entered into a new inventory financing arrangement on terms similar to those referenced above. The amount financed in this new transaction remains at $50 million.
Debt Obligations
On September 26, 2025, Tronox Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Tronox Holdings plc, closed an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.125% senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered at par and issued under an indenture dated as of September 26, 2025 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer and the Company and, as described below, certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries as guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent.
The Indenture and the Notes provide, among other things, that the Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Notes are scheduled to mature on September 30, 2030, subject to a springing maturity date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Company’s 4.625% Senior Notes due 2029, if on such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2029 outstanding is greater than $250 million. The terms of the Indenture, among other things, limit,

in certain circumstances, the ability of the Issuer and the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur secured indebtedness, incur indebtedness at a non-guarantor subsidiary, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions and merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of their assets.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Noncurrent borrowings, net of unamortized discount and issuance costs was $3.4 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net debt (the excess of our borrowings over cash and cash equivalents) was $3.2 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.
As of March 2, 2026, the total outstanding principal balance on our short-term debt facilities was approximately $78 million.
Securitization Program
In March 2022, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (“Securitization Facility”) with a financial institution, through our wholly-owned special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, Tronox Securitization LLC (“SPE”). The Securitization Facility permitted the SPE to sell accounts receivable up to $75 million.
In November 2022, the Company amended the receivable purchase agreement to expand the program to include receivables generated by its wholly-owned Australian operating subsidiaries, Tronox Pigment Pty Ltd., Tronox Pigment Bunbury Ltd. and Tronox Mining Australia Ltd. which increased the facility limit to $200 million and extended the program term to November 2025.
In June 2023, the Company entered into an additional amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to further include receivables generated by our wholly-owned European operating subsidiaries, Tronox Pigment Holland BV and Tronox Pigment UK Limited. Neither the facility limit nor the program term were changed as a result of the Second Amendment, and remained at $200 million and November 2025, respectively.
In March 2024, we entered into a Securitization Facility technical amendment (the “Third Amendment”), to increase the percentage of certain receivables eligible for sale to the Purchaser. In April 2024, we again amended the Securitization Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”), to increase the Facility Limit from $200 million to $230 million.
In March 2025, the Securitization Facility was amended (the “Fifth Amendment”) to extend the program term to March 2028.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $86 million in 2025 as compared to $291 million in 2024. The decrease of $205 million period over period is primarily due to a $236 million increase in net loss net of non-cash adjustments which was partially offset by a $31 million reduction in the use of cash for net assets and liabilities. The reduction in use of cash for working capital was primarily driven by an $89 improvement in inventory and $19 million improvement in prepaids and other assets which were partially offset by a $67 million higher use of cash for provisions.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities — Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $328 million as compared to $343 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The $15 million decrease in use of cash year over year is primarily driven by $29 million of lower capital expenditures and a $15 million repayment of a loan receivable partially offset by a $6 million purchase of investment and a $23 million reduction in the proceeds from sale of assets.
Cash Flows provided by (used in) Financing Activities — Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $295 million as compared to cash used in financing activities of $62 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The current year is primarily comprised $370 million of net proceeds for all debt transactions consummated throughout the year, including a new $50 million inventory financing arrangement, which was partially offset by $48 million of dividends paid during the current year and $27 million of lease payments.

Other Information
Directors’ Duties
The Directors of Tronox Holdings plc (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) must act in accordance with a set of general duties. As a company incorporated in the UK, these duties are detailed in Section 172 of the UK Companies Act 2006, which is summarized as follows:
A director of a company must act in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole and, in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to:
1.
The likely consequences of any decisions in the long-term;
2.
The interests of the company’s employees;
3.
The need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
4.
The impact of the company’s operations on the community and the environment;
5.
The desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
6.
The need to act fairly as between shareholders of the company.
As part of their induction, a director of the Company (each a “Director” and together the “Directors” or “Board”) is briefed on their duties and they can access professional advice on these, either from the Company’s Corporate Secretary, of if they judge it necessary, from an independent adviser. Additionally, we believe that it is important to recognize that in a large organization such as ours, the Directors fulfill their duties partly through a governance framework that delegates day-to-day decision-making authority to senior management of the Company.
One key principal decision taken by the Board in 2025 was the approval of a reduced quarterly $0.05 dividend payments to shareholders which will result in approximately $32 million being returned to shareholders annually going forward. In addition, the Board was supportive of streamlining operations through the closure of both the Botlek and Fuzhou locations during 2025.
Decision-Making / Governance and Performance Oversight / Risk
Boards of large companies typically delegate day-to-day management and decision-making to senior management. Directors should maintain oversight of a company’s performance and ensure that management is acting in accordance with the strategy and plans agreed by a board, and its delegated authorities. The culture, values and standards that underpin this delegation should help ensure that when decisions are made, their wider impact has been considered. A board should also reserve certain matters for its own consideration so that it can exercise judgment directly when making major decisions, and in doing so promote the success of the company while having regard to all necessary matters. A board needs assurance that a company’s financial reporting, risk management, and governance and internal control processes are operating efficiently.
Overview of how the Board discharges its duties
The Board administers its risk oversight function directly and through its various standing committees, namely the Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. The charters of each of these committees can be found at investor.tronox.com/governance/governance-documents. The Audit Committee works closely with members of senior management to ensure that management undertakes a robust annual Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) program whereby members of management assess the key risks inherent to, among other things, the Company’s commercial, operational and environmental sustainability activities, as well as the efficacy of the
A-64

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company’s mitigation efforts to ensure that those risks do not impact long- term shareholder value. A detailed report-out of the results of the ERM process is made to the full Board and throughout the year the Board receives periodic reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to our Company, including operational, financial, competitive, human capital, cybersecurity and legal risks. The Board routinely discusses with senior management our major risk exposures, their potential financial impact on our Company, and the steps (both short-term and long-term) we take to manage them.
In addition, each year, the Board undertakes an in-depth review of the Company’s business plan and budget for the following year. In conducting its review, the Board has regard to a variety of matters, including the need to balance the achievement of short-term financial and commercial objectives against the creation of long-term stakeholder value and sustainability.
Culture, Values and Standards
Culture, values and standards underpin how a company creates and sustains value over the longer term and are key elements of how it maintains a reputation for high standards of business conduct. They also guide and assist in decision making and thereby help promote a company’s long-term success and positive impact on all stakeholders. The Board recognizes its role in establishing appropriate values and standards that positively influence the behavior of executives, employees and other parties who represent, and interact with, the Company.
Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
The Board sets the values and standards required of all employees through the review and approval of the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The Code of Conduct applies to employees and Directors, as well as our agents, suppliers and contractors. Each employee is responsible for demonstrating integrity and leadership by complying with the provisions of the Code of Conduct, Company policies and all applicable laws. By fully including ethics and integrity in our ongoing business relationships and decision making, we believe we demonstrate a commitment to a culture that promotes the highest ethical standards.
In addition, the Company has deployed an Ethics and Compliance Hotline throughout its global operations. The Ethics and Compliance Hotline allows any individual, including employees, to report alleged violations of the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct anonymously, free of any concern that the Company will retaliate. The Audit Committee of the Board regularly monitors the nature of issues reported through such hotline.
Shareholders, Employees, Customers, Suppliers and Community and Environment
A board should communicate effectively with stakeholders and understand their views, and also to act fairly between different shareholders. Employees are central to the long-term success of a company, and as such, a board should consider their interests, and, to assist in doing so, have means of engaging with and understanding their views. Fostering business relationships with key stakeholders, such as customers and suppliers, is also important to a company’s success. In their decision making, directors need to have regard to the impact of a company’s operations on the community and environment.
In our UK Statutory Directors’ Report under “Stakeholder Engagement” we describe how we identify and communicate with our key stakeholders, and why the Board believes each stakeholder group is important to the Company. By engaging with stakeholders on a regular basis, the Board is able to understand stakeholder concerns and incorporate those concerns, where possible, into its decision making.
Shareholders
The Board is committed to regularly and consistently engaging with our shareholders on many levels. During 2025, we continued our practice of active engagement with shareholders on many levels. Members of our executive team interacted frequently with shareholders during our quarterly earnings calls, at 1:1 meetings and at investor conferences. Our Chair and members of the executive team periodically meet 1:1 with our largest institutional holders to discuss ESG matters. These interactions were aimed at providing insight and transparency into our financial results, operations and long-term strategy. During these shareholder interactions, we received valuable insight into how shareholders view our executive compensation and governance practices that the Board will take into consideration in making future decisions. Shareholders appreciated our transparency and the willingness by our senior management and members of the Board to engage with, and listen to, them.
A-65

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Furthermore, the Board has established a process to receive communications from shareholders and other interested parties. Shareholders and other interested parties may contact any member (or all members) of the Board of Directors, including our Board Chair, any Board committee or any chair of any such committee by mail or electronically through our Corporate Secretary.
Our intention is to treat shareholders fairly and equally, so they may benefit from the successful delivery of our strategy. The Company implements an outward mindset approach that allows it to see beyond itself and be accountable for the whole. We believe such an outward mindset approach results in producing safe, quality, low-cost, sustainable tons for customers and delivering shareholder returns.
Community and Environment
The Company is the world’s leading vertically integrated manufacturer of TiO2 pigment. With an unmatched global footprint on 6 continents, the Company has approximately 1 million tons of nameplate TiO2 pigment capacity. The Company’s global footprint allows the Company, among other things, to better serve its global customer base. In addition, the Company has the most geographically diverse employee population in the industry with deep expertise at every step of the value chain. The Company is committed to investing in, and developing, our employees throughout the world.
Tronox strives to be a good corporate citizen everywhere it operates. We believe that our business can and should play a leadership role in improving the quality of life in the communities in which we operate. We are continually challenging ourselves to promote sustainable growth, be more transparent in all our business operations, and make positive contributions in the communities where we live and work. We believe that these efforts promote the long-term interests of all our stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, shareholders, local communities, and the mining and minerals industry at large.
In addition, we believe purposeful and positive engagement in our communities is key to our success. We understand the social impacts of our activities and are committed to being viewed as good stewards of our communities. Our employees act as advocates for the community within our organization, fostering a culture of employee volunteerism, and promoting community initiatives related to education in science and the arts.
In addition, each year we publish a comprehensive sustainability report available on our external website that is prepared in accordance with the guidance from Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Framework, Sustainability Accounting Standards Boards (SABS) and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). Our Sustainability Report provides disclosure on a variety of economic, environmental and social sustainability indicators we deem material to us, including energy, water, biodiversity, emissions, effluents and waste. We believe the Sustainability Report serves several purposes. For our Directors and management, we believe the Sustainability Report helps us better understand risk and ensures that we are taking appropriate steps to mitigate those risks. For stakeholders, customers and suppliers, we believe the Sustainability Report highlights the commitment of the Company and its employees to environmental, social and governance values.

Statement of directors’ responsibilities in respect of the financial statements
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulation.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have prepared the group financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and the parent company financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”, and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and parent company and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to:
1.
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
2.
state whether applicable UK-adopted internal accounting standards have been followed for the group financial statements and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102, have been followed for the company financial statements, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
3.
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
4.
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group and parent company will continue in business.
The directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and parent company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group and parent company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and parent company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements and the Directors’ Remuneration Report comply with the Companies Act 2006.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the parent company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions
Directors’ Indemnity
The Company has entered into deeds of indemnification with each of its directors pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the directors to the fullest extent permissible under English law against liabilities arising out of, or in connection with, the actual or purported exercise of, or failure to exercise, any of his or her powers, duties or responsibilities as a director or officer, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Directors’ confirmations
In the case of each director in office at the date the directors’ report is approved:
1.
so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company and parent company’s auditors are unaware; and
2.
they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company and parent company’s auditors are aware of that information.
Stakeholder Engagement
Tronox places considerable value on the involvement of our employees and ensure that we keep them informed on matters affecting them, the overall organization as well as on the performance of the Company.
Tronox conducts formal and informal meetings with employees and maintains a company intranet website with key information and other matters of interest. Tronox arranges periodic town halls at its operations in the UK where senior executives provides updates on the group affairs and answers questions from employees regarding the state and strategy of Tronox.
The Company is committed to being a responsible business. For our business to succeed we need to manage people’s performance and develop and bring talent while ensuring we operate as efficiently and safely as possible. We must also ensure that we share common values that inform and guide our behavior, so we achieve our goals in the right way. Accordingly, the Company has established a set of core values that we have communicated throughout the organization, such as: (i) we have an uncompromising focus on operating safe, reliable and responsible facilities, (ii) we honor our responsibility to create value for stakeholders, iii) we treat others with respect, and act with personal and organizational integrity, (iv) we build our organization with talented people who make a positive difference and we invest in their success, (v) we are adaptable, decisive and effective, (vi) we are trustworthy and reliable, and we build mutually rewarding relationships, (vii) we share accountability and have high expectations for ourselves and one another, (viii) we do the right work the right way in every aspect of our business, and (ix) we celebrate the joy of working together to accomplish great things.
In addition, throughout the year, members of our senior management hold employee town halls, either in person or virtually, at our operating sites throughout the world in order to communicate directly with employees and address any questions or concerns that employees may have. During such town halls, our senior executives provide updates on the group’s affairs and the state and strategy of Tronox.
Tronox is dedicated to creating an ethical, engaged and thriving diverse corporate culture, and as such has implemented an ethics and compliance hotline for employees to confidentially report any concerns or violations of the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, or any other corporate policies, as well as violations of government laws, rules and regulations, or any other ethical concerns. Through regular updates by management, the Board’s audit committee is made aware of any issues raised through the ethics and compliance hotline.
The Company’s commitment to safety is also reflected by its requiring employees who visit any Company site around the world to participate in a safety training prior to entering such facility.
The Company values its partnerships with suppliers and fully recognizes that its mutual success is built on open communication and a commitment to common principles and business practices. The Company undertakes a due diligence process prior to entering into commercial arrangements with any new supplier.
In addition, the Company’s sales and marketing strategy focuses on effective customer management through development of strong relationships with our customers around the world. We believe that multiple points of customer contact facilitate efficient problem solving, supply chain support, formula optimization and co-development of products.
Furthermore, the Board has established a process to receive communications from shareholders and other interested parties. Shareholders and other interested parties may contact any member (or all members) of the Board of Directors, including our Chair of the Board, any Board committee or any chair of any such committee by mail or electronically through our Corporate Secretary.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various price, capital, market, credit, operational, and liquidity risks in the normal course of business, which are discussed below. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, with derivative instruments. We do not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes, but historically have entered into, and may enter into, derivative instruments for hedging purposes in order to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, natural gas prices and exchange rates.
Price Risk
Our products and raw materials are subject to price fluctuations as market supply and demand change. Accordingly, product margins and the level of profitability tend to fluctuate with changes in the business cycle. At December 31, 2025, with all other variables held constant, if the price of pigment strengthened by 5% against the prevailing prices, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $121 million higher (2024: pre-tax income, $127 million higher), and, with all other variables held constant, if the price of pigment weakened by 5% against the prevailing prices, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $121 million lower (2024: pre-tax income $127 million lower). At December 31, 2025, with all other variables held constant, if the price of zircon and other products strengthened by 5% against prevailing prices, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $23 million higher (2024: pre-tax income $27 million higher), and, with all other variables held constant, if the price of zircon and other products weakened by 5% against prevailing prices, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $23 million lower (2024: pre-tax income $27 million lower).
Foreign Exchange Risk
We manufacture and market our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, we enter into transactions that give rise to financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. The following tables disclose our exposure to foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

At both December 31, 2025 and 2024, our primary foreign exchange exposure is to the Australian dollar denominated trade payables and asset retirement obligation balances in our U.S. dollar functional currency entities. If the U.S. dollar had weakened by 5% against the Australian dollar, with all variables held constant, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $9 million lower; and if the U.S. dollar had strengthened by 5% against the Australian dollar, with all other variables held constant, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $9 million higher.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will impact our financial results. We are exposed to interest rate risk on our floating rate debt, the 2024 Term Loan Facility, the 2024-B Term Loan Facility, the RMB Term Loan Facility, the Cash Flow Revolver, the RMB Revolving Credit Facility and the Emirates Revolver balances. Using a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2025, a hypothetical 1% increase in
A-69

TABLE OF CONTENTS

interest rates would result in a net decrease to pre-tax income of approximately $7 million on an annualized basis. This is due to the fact that earnings on our interest earning financial assets of $35 million at December 31, 2025 would increase by the full 1%, offsetting the impact of a 1% increase in interest expense on our floating rate debt of $748 million.
During 2019, we entered into interest-rate swap agreements for a portion of our previous Term Loan Facility, which effectively convert the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the loan. The agreements were to expire in September 2024.
On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into amendments with two of our existing interest rate swap agreements with the counterparty banks. As a result of these amendments, the Company terminated two of our existing interest rate swap contracts which were indexed to LIBOR with an aggregate notional value of $500 million which had maturity dates of September 2024. At the time of these amendments, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged are still probable to occur, therefore, the gains accumulated of $11 million on the interest rate swaps prior to the amendments are being amortized into interest expense through September 22, 2024, the original maturity of the interest rate swap agreements.
We simultaneously entered into two SOFR-indexed forward starting interest rate swaps with the same counterparty banks with no change to the aggregate notional value. The forward starting swaps became effective from June 2023 and will mature in March 2028 which will align with the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Indexing forward starting swaps to SOFR will also ensure that the reference rates in our hedge instruments will align with the interest rate terms of the Term Loan Facility which changed from LIBOR to SOFR effective June 30, 2023 as a result of Reference Rate Reform and pursuant to the loan agreement. We elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to the following: 1) the assertion that the future forecasted transaction is still probable of occurring despite reference rate changes and 2) the assumption that the index of the future hedged transactions will match the index of the corresponding hedge instruments for the assessment of effectiveness.
Additionally, on March 27, 2023, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap with a $200 million notional value which matures in March 2028 and effectively converts the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility.
On May 17, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with the counterparty bank to amend the remaining $250 million notional of the three original interest rate swap contracts of $750 million aggregate notional value. As a result of this amendment, the Company changed the rate indexed in the contract from LIBOR to SOFR, effective June 30, 2023 as a result of the Reference Rate Reform and to align the index rate in this contract to that in the Term Loan Facility, as described above. This amendment did not change the notional value and the expiration date of this contract, which expired in September 2024. We completed a hedge effectiveness test as a result of this amendment and determined that this hedge instrument continues to be highly effective, enabling us to continue to apply hedge accounting over the remaining term of this hedge relationship.
As a result of the 2024 Amendment (discussed in Note 19), the Company noted that the hedged transaction associated with the interest rate swap with a notional value of $200 million (which converted the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility) had changed as the hedged transaction would now convert the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the 2024 Term Loan Facility. There were no amendments to the terms of the $200 million interest rate swap, including the notional value, index rate, or expiration date as a result of the 2024 Amendment. However, given the change in the hedged transaction, we completed a hedge effectiveness test and determined that this hedge instrument continues to be highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows related to the hedged transaction, enabling us to continue to apply hedge accounting over the remaining term of this hedge relationship.
In line with the original maturity date, one of the interest rate swap agreements (notional value of $250 million) expired in September 2024. As a result of this, on September 26, 2024, the Company entered into two new interest-rate swap agreements for a notional of $125 million each with two counterparty banks, for an aggregate notional of $250 million. These new agreements are effective as of September 30, 2024 and will mature on September 30, 2031, in line with the maturity date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility following Amendment No.6 (discussed in Note 19). The Company has designated these two new hedges as cash flow hedges with the objective of ensuring that the Company continues to achieve the offsetting effect to the interest rate volatility associated with the $250 million portion of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, on September 26, 2024, the counterparty bank associated with one of the existing interest rate swap contracts (notional value of $250 million) novated its rights and obligations in the interest rate swap contracts to a new counterparty. No other terms and conditions of the interest rate swap contract were impacted by this transaction. We also determined that it is probable the new counterparty will perform its obligations under the interest rate swap agreements. However, following the novation, the Company terminated the existing interest rate swap agreement and simultaneously entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with the new counterparty bank with an effective date of September 30, 2024 and expiring on September 30, 2031 (in line with the maturity date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility). At the time of this change, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged are still probable to occur, therefore, the gains accumulated of $3 million on the previous interest rate swap are being amortized into interest expense through March 11, 2028, the original maturity of the previous term loan agreement. As a result of this transaction, we completed a hedge effectiveness test and determined that this hedge instrument is highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows related to the hedged transaction, enabling us to apply hedge accounting over the term of the new hedge relationship.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company maintains a total of $950 million of interest rate swaps (with $450 million maturing in March 2028 and $500 million maturing in September 2031) with the objective in using the interest-rate swap agreements to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements. These interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in reserves and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or a counterparty will fail to meet their obligations. A significant portion of our liquidity is concentrated in trade accounts receivable that arise from sales of our products to customers. In the case of TiO2, the high level of industry concentration has the potential to impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions. We have significant exposure to credit risk in industries that are affected by cyclical economic fluctuations. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers from time to time, as deemed appropriate, to mitigate credit risk but generally do not require collateral. Our contracts typically enable us to tighten credit terms if we perceive additional credit risk; however, historic losses due to write offs of bad debt have been relatively low. In addition, due to our international operations, we are subject to potential trade restrictions and sovereign risk in certain countries in which we operate. We maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on specific customer review and current financial conditions. During 2025 and 2024, our ten largest third-party TiO2 customers represented 36% and 37%, respectively, of our consolidated net revenues. During both 2025 and 2024, no single customer accounted for 10% of our consolidated net revenues.
We apply the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. We have concluded that the lifetime expected losses on trade receivable under the new expected loss model approximates the allowance for credit losses estimated under our current method. This conclusion was based on historical payment profile of sales over the last three years. We do not expect this profile to change as our business model and our customer profile is not expected to change significantly in the foreseeable future.
The financial institutions where our cash and cash equivalents are held are generally highly rated and geographically dispersed, and we have a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk. The maximum exposure is the carrying values which were $199 million and $151 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not be able to meet or settle our financial liabilities and obligations as they fall due. Our liquidity position is managed to ensure that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet our financial obligations in a timely manner. We manage liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring that we have the ability to access required funding.
A-71

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our non-derivative financial liabilities include trade payables and borrowings. Trade payables are recorded at undiscounted contractual amounts, and maturities are based on the earliest date on which we may be required to pay. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, trade payables of $481 million and $483 million, respectively, were due within one year. See Note 19 for the maturity analysis for borrowings.
Capital Risk Management
Our objectives when managing capital are to safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Additionally, our objective is to establish funding sources and a debt management structure that is appropriate for and supports our corporate initiatives. To achieve these objectives, we follow a disciplined and prudent capital management strategy that focuses on developing reputable, low cost, flexible, and committed sources of funding from funding providers over time. We continuously monitor our credit ratings to preserve funding flexibility. We have also entered into covenants that give us access to credit facilities, which further enhances our funding flexibility. Our treasury policy includes securing a mix of funding sources at acceptable terms and conditions to ensure we can meet our financial obligations as they are due. To mitigate liquidity pressures, we manage maturity profiles of debt to avoid large concentrations of debt maturing or being reissued in periods where credit margins are high.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net debt (the excess of our debt over cash and cash equivalents) was $3.2 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.
We manage our capital structure and make adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, we may adjust the dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during 2025 and 2024.
We are subject to externally imposed capital requirements in the form of loan covenants, which may have an impact on the manner in which capital is utilized. We have complied with these capital requirements during the reporting years.
Branches outside the UK
As of December 31, 2025 several branches were maintained by the Company outside of the United Kingdom:
1.
Singapore Branch - Branch for Tronox Pigment Bunbury Ltd
2.
Germany, Spain, Belgium and French branches - Branches for Tronox Pigment UK Limited
Share Repurchases
On February 21, 2024, in connection with the expiration in February 2024 of the Company’s previous share repurchase program, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase up to $300 million of the Company’s stock through February 21, 2027. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we made no repurchases of the Company’s stock.
Dividends
During 2025, the Board approved two quarterly dividends of $0.125 per share and two quarterly dividends of $0.05 per share resulting in a new annual dividend of $0.20 per share going forward. This resulted in approximately $56 million returned to the shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Independent Auditors
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, have indicated their willingness to continue in office, and a resolution that they be re-appointed will be proposed at the annual general meeting.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report
Carbon emissions disclosure
In compliance with the Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Guidance March 2019, as stipulated by the Companies Act 2006, Tronox Holdings plc (“Tronox”) has calculated the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions for the whole Tronox group for the year ended 31 December 2025.
A-72

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The period presented in the GHG reporting is the same annual period as covered by the Directors’ Report for year ended 31 December 2025.
The method used is in line with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. The organization reporting boundary is based on operational control.
This report constitutes Tronox’s mandatory statement for 2025, outlining Energy Consumption, Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, water consumption, waste generation and emission to air, alongside associated intensities.
Scope 1 Emissions: These include emissions from activities owned or controlled by your organization that release emissions into the atmosphere. They are direct emissions. Examples of Scope 1 emissions include emissions from combustion owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles; emissions from chemical production in owned or controlled process equipment.
Scope 2 Emissions: These include emissions released into the atmosphere associated with the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, heat, steam and cooling. These are indirect emissions that are a consequence of your organization’s activities, but which occur at sources you do not own or control.
We achieved our target 25% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity by 2025 and we believe we remain on track to achieve 50% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity by 2030, in each case against our 2019 baseline. In addition, in 2022 we completed our accounting of Scope 3 emissions, established for ourselves specific targets to reduce the intensity of those emissions against our 2021 baseline, and completed work on a methodology for including carbon pricing when assessing capital projects which we began to implement in 2023. We also achieved the 2025 target Scope 3 GHG emission intensity reduction.
Performance Data Standards, Methodologies and Assumptions
Energy consumption
Energy consumption includes the following components:
a.
Non-renewable fuel consumed.
b.
Electricity and steam sold. Efficiencies of the equipment, which generates electricity and steam, are taken into account to arrive at primary energy.
c.
Electricity and steam purchased for consumption, based on net energy intake.
In case non-renewable fuel sources were consumed to produce electricity or steam used on-site, only the non-renewable fuel sources were counted, in order to prevent double counting of energy consumption.
Calorific values that were used to convert volumes of non-renewable fuel sources into primary energy were taken from the energy suppliers where possible, or from the Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
In addition, efficiencies used for electricity and steam sold were based on local metered input and output values and annual efficiency samples, respectively.
Energy Intensity
The total primary energy intensity is calculated by dividing the sum of direct and indirect energy consumption by the total weight of products produced. All energy sources (non-renewable fuel, electricity and steam, minus electricity and steam sold) are included in the energy intensity calculations.
Direct (Scope 1) GHG Emissions and Energy Indirect (Scope 2) GHG Emissions
Greenhouse gases included are in line with the GHGs covered by the United Nations Kyoto Protocol, the World Resources Institute, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and include the following, (i) Carbon dioxide (CO2), (ii) Methane (CH4), (iii) Nitrous oxide (N2O), (iv) Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), (v) Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and (vi) Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6).
Furthermore, the reporting of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions is in line with the WBCSD Standard’s Operational Control Approach.
A-73

TABLE OF CONTENTS

GHG emission factors for CO2 are based on data provided by local energy suppliers. In case this data is not readily available, the emission factors used are in line with the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Guidelines (IPCC) for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (default emission factors on a net calorific basis). For GHGs other than CO2, Global Warming
Potentials (GWPs) are used to convert GHG emissions into CO2 equivalents. These GWPs are in line with the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report.
GHG Emissions Intensity
The GHG emissions intensity is calculated by dividing the sum of direct and indirect GHG emissions by the total weight of products produced. All GHG emissions included (Scope 1 and Scope 2) are included in the GHG emissions intensity calculations.
Water Withdrawal by Source
Total water withdrawal only takes into account water that is used for the first time. Water that is reused or recycled to be consumed twice or more times, either in the same process or in a different process, is not included in this indicator.
Waste by Type and Disposal Method
This indicator reflects the total weight of waste produced.

Governance (414CB (2A)(a, b))
Creating a strong governance structure and polices to support that structure reflects our belief that management control is the first line of defense to identify and mitigate not only commercial and financial risks, but environmental and sustainability risks that can derail a company.
In addition to core business risks, such as human capital management, the viability of our business model and supply chain resilience, Tronox’s Board of Directors is actively engaged in monitoring sustainability-related risks, like progress on our decarbonization roadmap to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
We continually assess whether our Board of Directors maintains the right balance of skills, experience, diversity and business acumen to provide effective oversight of management and drive our strategy forward.
Tronox’s sustainability-related governance structure starts at the highest level of the enterprise: a dedicated committee of the Board of Directors called, “The Governance and Sustainability Committee,” comprised of four independent members of the board of directors, including the non-executive chairman of the Board, Ilan Kaufthal.
The Board of Directors is evaluated by the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee at least annually.
The Chief Sustainability Officer identifies and updates the climate-related risks and opportunities (CRROs) and presents to the Board of Directors annually an update about CRROs and progress in the climate transition plan. The CSO also shares with the Board members the key outcomes of the enterprise risk management reviews related to CRROs. The CSO will also discuss the achievement of GHG reduction target for the previous year against the annual incentive program and propose the GHG reduction target for the following year together with information on the key projects to support achieving target. The proposal includes three levels: threshold level (50% annual incentive) which demonstrate progress but not achieving the pre-set target, full achievement of the pre-set annual target (100% annual incentive) and stretch target exceeding the pre-defined GHG reduction target (200% annual incentive).
Underneath the board is a governance structure comprised of multiple layers, starting with Tronox’s senior executives and cascading down to each local site. Climate change is a core focus: reducing emissions, mitigating risk and optimizing opportunities.
The governance structure includes processes and initiatives to align the activities of the cross-enterprise global functions with individual sites and regions to effectively implement the sustainability and climate change-related strategies.
The Sustainability Council is the most senior level executive body charged with managing sustainability-related matters at Tronox. In 2022, to reflect the importance of sustainability to our investors, customers and employees, we increased the seniority of the members and shrank its size to create more of a sense of ownership. The Council is now comprised of Tronox’s most senior executives responsible for operations, finance, commercial, supply chain, legal and investor relations. It is chaired by the Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of Investor

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Relations and External Affairs. The council reviews and provides the direction on management of climate related risks and opportunities leveraging updates from the Sustainability team.
The Council meets on regular basis. During 2025, the primary focus of the Council was to ensure that management understood the wide range of new and enhanced ESG legislation promulgated by various governmental authorities around the world which may be applicable to Tronox as well as putting in place the resources, policies and practices to comply with such legislation. In pursuit of that goal, the Council established a sub-committee comprised of Company executives responsible for implementing and complying with such new ESG regulations, particularly those related to public disclosure.
The Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of Investor Relations and External Affairs, as well as the Vice President of Sustainability who reports to the Chief Sustainability Officer continue to lead the sustainability strategy.
The Sustainability team led by the VP, Sustainability, is tasked with identifying climate-related risks and opportunities (CRROs). The CRROs were updated in 2025 to proactively address rapid changes in the regulatory and macro-economic environment. The CRROs are documented through the Enterprise Risk Management Review processes, which are used to shape the company’s strategy and tactics. The CRROs were identified at the site, region and global levels for all Tronox operational sites.
The Sustainability team also monitors a wide spectrum of sustainability workstreams, ensuring the timely execution of improvement projects and mitigation initiatives. Similar to the governance of GHG, each workstream is overseen by a senior leader who acts as a portfolio owner, supported by a cross-functional team to achieve project milestones.
Responding to emerging market opportunities, in 2024 the Sustainability team was expanded to now include a Regional Sustainability Advisor for Europe, who also leads the global Waste Center of Excellence. Management believes that the addition of this position will assist in driving circular economy opportunities, increase stakeholder collaboration, embed sustainability improvements and escalate the achievement of sustainability goals.
Under senior-level executive direction, our operating sites and the regional leadership teams are responsible for the development and execution of their respective GHG reduction roadmaps and integrating key GHG and energy reduction projects into their 5-year execution plans. 5% of the executive Annual Incentive Plan is associated with the achievement of annual GHG reduction goals.
b.
Strategy (414CB (2A)(g))
Our strategy on climate change is three-fold.
Achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 to mitigate climate-related risks.
Ensure the resilience of our communities and operations against the physical impacts of climate change.
Realize climate-related opportunities through enhancing energy efficiency programs and offering our customers products with the lowest carbon-content that is reasonably achievable to help them transition to a low carbon economy.
To move towards net zero carbon emissions, we continue to track initiative execution and work to ensure that our short, medium and long term GHG reduction roadmaps are integrated into regional strategic and capital planning processes.
Our goals are set forth below and we continue to publicly disclose annually our progress against these goals.

50% (Intensity)

16% (Intensity) for upstream Scope 3
The 2030 target is premised on the conversion of electricity supply in substantially all of the jurisdictions in which we operate to renewable energy sources. We also intend to commence conversion of some of our natural gas-fired industrial boilers at our TiO2 facilities to green electricity or bio-sources.

Target*
How We’ll do it
2050
Net Zero
Achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is dependent on a range of initiatives. First and foremost, we will need to eliminate the use of fossil-based reductants (e.g., coal, coke and anthracite) in our ilmenite beneficiation operations and pigment production. All of our purchased power will need to be generated by renewable sources. We will also need to electrify our mining and earthmoving equipment which currently runs on diesel, or switch to bio-alternatives. Further, carbon capture will be explored where we believe it is technically and economically feasible. Though we are not relying on purchasing third-party carbon off-set credits, we may need to consider this as a last resort if feasible technologies are not available for “hard-to-abate” carbon sources.
*
In the event of any mergers, acquisitions or divestments the baseline will be re-calculated based on the GHG Protocol Accounting Standards. Additionally, our GHG intensity targets are in each case against a 2019 baseline.
One of the most significant projects that was completed in 2025 was the solar energy project in the Australia, which partially replaces power that we consume from the diesel-fired online generators at our Atlas mine. This project came on-line in August, with renewable penetration around 40% of the total electricity supply to the mine. During 2025, we are progressing a second large renewable power project in South Africa, which we believe will bring the penetration of renewable energy for our South African operations to around 70%. The project is expected to supply our operations during 2027.
In 2025 we also sustained the renewable energy usage in our pigment plant in Brazil at 99% and realized the full benefit of the solar power project in South Africa at 40%.
In 2025 we also continued to work on efficiency improvement and process optimization programs that help to reduce energy intensity. These initiatives and projects helped reduce our global Scope 1&2 emissions intensity by 27% against our baseline, hence achieved the 2025 GHG reduction Target.
The pie chart below shows the key contributors to 2025 Scope 1 & 2 emissions. The main contributor is CO2 emissions for purchased electricity, accounting for approximately 1.1 million tons (down from around 2 million tons in 2019), followed by carbon-based reductants for minerals beneficiation and pigment production contributing approximately 1.1 million tons (down from 1.2M in 2019). The third largest contributor is natural gas contributing approximately 0.87 million (down from 0.95 in 2019). Other sources contribute around 0.18 million tons (down from 0.25 in 2019).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our global decarbonization roadmap stems from extensive analysis using a ISSB-compliant methodology, involving all our internal climate governance teams and as well as representatives of each business unit and operational function. This work was two-fold:
Undertaking detailed climate-related transition risk assessment based on various scenarios (see Climate Risks and Opportunities and Scenario Analysis) to identify the key transition risks for the business.
Identification of key climate mitigation opportunities and a techno-economic performance assessment to model their potential future impact on GHG emissions, energy consumption and mix, and economic performance.
As a result, we have been able to model projections of GHG emission reduction strategies for Tronox based on market insights (e.g. evolution of energy prices and national electrical grid carbon intensities) and a range of the most significant transition mitigation opportunities that could be implemented through to 2050.
Our roadmap covers three key focus areas to achieve our long-term emissions reductions goals: sourcing of 100% renewable electricity, switching to low-carbon reductants, and phaseout of fossil fuel energy for thermal needs (natural gas in particular).
In 2025, we updated the transitional risk assessment to align with the reporting requirements for IFRS S2 Disclosure and CSRD ESRS E1 – Climate Change. This includes: better definition of short, medium and long-term time horizons; disclosing further details on the scenario analysis undertaken; and use a scenario limiting warming to 1.5"C.
The confirmed time-horizons for Tronox are shown below:

To meet our emissions reduction target of 25% (intensity) by 2025 compared with our 2019 baseline, we focused most intensively on commencing the decarbonization of our electricity supply in geographies where the power grid supply has a high carbon content. As noted, the first significant project in South Africa has already been implemented, with further significant renewable power to be come online during 2027. Also, our first solar power project in Australia was commissioned in Q3’ 2025.
In addition to Scope 2 reductions, we continue to tackle Scope 1 emissions related to our consumption of fossil fuels and carbon-intensive reductants. We deployed energy efficiency projects, such as automated process control, as well as energy management systems in 2025. In addition we are continuing an operational excellence program to optimize our chemical yield and coke consumption. We started with three key pigment plants in 2025.
Medium-term up until 2030
2030 Targets will be underpinned by sourcing renewable energy at all available operations. Mirroring activities in South Africa, work is currently underway in Australia assessing a variety of PPA-type style projects to provide green energy prior to 2030.
There will also be a significant focus on reducing Scope 1 emissions, as they will become the main contributor to our product carbon intensity by 2030. Our strategy is to electrify certain pieces of equipment such as natural-gas powered steam/boilers, which will result in a switch from fossil fuels to the newly available renewable electricity.
A-79

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other renewable fuels will also be introduced if available and economically viable. Improved process efficiency will remain a continuous focus as part of our Operational Excellence program. Such initiatives are being explored within regional decarbonization roadmaps.
Long-term up until 2050
To reach our long-term 2050 net zero target, our main challenge will be to develop and implement projects to tackle our remaining “hard-to-abate” GHG emissions. Within our global decarbonization roadmap, we have so far identified four main opportunities to be explored further.
The first opportunity focuses on finding alternative reductants to switch from anthracite and coke, which currently represent 1 Mt CO2 of total GHG emissions. A few concept study projects are currently underway to including: pre-reduction with green hydrogen at our smelting operations; and the introduction of bio sourced reductants. These initiatives will require significant investment in R&D programs, pilots and plant revamps over the next 10 years in order for possible deployment by 2035+, depending on the development scenario.
The second key opportunity in the long-term roadmap is the increased electrification of operating activities that will benefit from the renewable supply projects implemented in the 2020-2030 period. For example, as OEM’s develop viable electric powered heavy machinery or haulage equipment, we will be positioned to take advantage of this technological breakthrough.
It should be noted that by increasing the electrification of our operations and the potential for green hydrogen production through electrolysis, will lead to greater electricity consumption in all scenarios modelled. A cheap and clean electricity supply is therefore critical both to mitigate scope 2 emissions and optimise costs.
Residual scope 1 emissions related to thermal energy needs will also need to be tackled, with a focus on switching from natural gas across all sites. Relatively mature solutions to phase out natural gas from our processes are being explored as part of the region-specific decarbonisation roadmaps (e.g. switch to synthetic methane or biomethane), as they can gain maturity and become cost-competitive over time.
Finally, as all emissions may not be reduced to zero to reach our net zero target, several actions are being contemplated in the long-term to mitigate those residual emissions such as CCUS projects.
Scope 3 Emissions and Becoming the Low-Carbon Supplier of TiO2
Tronox management approved the following Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity targets against our revised 2021 baseline:
9% reduction in upstream Scope 3 emissions intensity by 2025
16% reduction in upstream Scope 3 emissions intensity by 2030
To be able to publicly announce Scope 3 targets, throughout 2022 we worked to ensure the methodology used meets the latest international standards. Refinements to our methodology continued into 2025. We also worked with our key suppliers to obtain direct product carbon footprint data. By the end of 2025, we were able increase the percentage of product carbon footprint data coming directly from our suppliers to over 50%.
In 2025, 67% of our carbon footprint arises from Scope 1 and 2 emissions and hence lies within our operational control under. This is important because by aggressively reducing these emissions, we can offer our customers TiO2 products that will help them reduce their Scope 3 emissions. Significantly reducing our own Scope 3 emissions is also part of our strategic goal of offering our customers products with the lowest carbon-content that is reasonably achievable.
In 2025, our upstream Scope 3 emissions were approximately 1.6M tons (down from 2.1M tons in 2021). The main contributor to our Scope 3 emissions is the manufacturing and transportation of the chemical and other raw materials used in our production processes. A detailed breakdown of our Scope 3 emissions performance including the categories quantified are shown in the table below:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The bulk of our Scope 3 emissions are from the manufacturing and transportation of raw materials for our intermediate or final products. For example: pet coke to produce an intermediate product (TiCl4); or alumina to produce pigment.
It is important to note that we are focused on cradle-to-gate greenhouse gas emissions. The diversity of our products in terms of number of end-markets we serve (e.g. everything from architectural paint to coatings for plastics and paper) and the global geographical distribution of our sales makes it very difficult to estimate downstream Scope 3 emissions.

Risk Management (414CB (2A)(c))
Tronox’s primary tool for managing risk is through the Enterprise Risk Management process (ERM).
Board-Level Oversight
Our entire Board is actively engaged in the ERM process and views it as an important component of its risk oversight responsibilities. Feedback from our directors is used to help identify key risks and improve the effectiveness of the mitigation activities. After the ERM process is complete, the Vice President, Internal Audit and other key “risk owners” presents the results of the analysis to the full Board typically at its February meeting. A more in-depth discussion on key risks is led by the key “risk owner” as part of the Board’s ERM discussion. Frequently, these reviews lead to requests for additional work and analysis on sub-components of each risk.
Management-Level Oversight
At the management level, Tronox has formed a Global Risk Committee (GRC), comprising senior leaders from around the globe representing all functions and business units, which is charged with assisting Tronox’s Board to identify significant enterprise risks, assess its risk mitigation strategies and, where appropriate, help implement those strategies, and review and suggest specific risk tolerances and risk appetite. The GRC meets at least annually to review the scope and appropriateness of the ERM plan, taking into consideration any changes since the prior year ERM process, including changes in Tronox’s scope of business activities, events in the prior year suggesting lapses in the prior year’s ERM process, geopolitical events, and evolving stakeholder expectations. In addition, the GRC reviews the results of any specific risk mitigation activities that resulted from the prior year’s ERM process and the implementation of any specific risk tolerances or “risk appetite” adopted.
Climate Risks and Opportunities (414CB (2A)(d))
In 2024 and early 2025 we worked to update the physical and transitional risk assessments originally conducted in 2021, aligning with the ISSB S2 standards. These “transition scenarios” were based on the global community’s ability to act against climate change ranging from inaction to sustainable development. We discussed with our internal and external stakeholders how these transition scenarios would impact Tronox and ways Tronox could adjust under each scenario. Next, we conducted a quantitative evaluation of how each scenario would likely impact Tronox’s commercial activity. The outcomes of the quantitative risk assessment were reviewed through a cross functional team to prioritize risks and explore opportunities with the aim of updating our climate change roadmap and review our strategy on climate change. The outline of the roadmap is presented above.
A-81

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Internal Carbon Pricing
As part of our commitment to sustainably transition to low carbon economy, we recognize the potential cost of inaction as a key risk. For that purpose, we established an internal carbon pricing mechanism covering all our functional and regional operations.
The main objectives for this initiative are to accelerate low-carbon investment, improve energy efficiency and accelerate the evolution of our corporate culture to be even more climate and sustainability conscious. Establishing an internal carbon pricing mechanism will also help us better identify and benefit from new low-carbon opportunities, adapt to evolving GHG regulations, and stress test our investment decisions against possible future regulatory scenarios.
The methodology measures the financial impact of business decisions that increase or decrease our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions based on actual or potential per-ton emission costs in the jurisdictions where we operate. We apply an evolutionary internal carbon price covering Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions based on the actual or potential per-ton cost to emit carbon in the relevant jurisdiction. The average global carbon price in 2030, based on jurisdiction, is approximately US$70 per ton gradually rising up to US$200 per ton by 2050. The tool is initially applied to capital investment decisions and be expanded over time to include long-term impacts of our major investments and large operational spend (e.g. Scope 2 and 3).
In 2025 we reviewed the recommendations of the Expert Analysis conducted for our carbon pricing mechanism and we updated our regional carbon pricing, especially for the medium term, to align with developments in the past three years.

Transitional Risks and Opportunities Methodology Summary
Updated Climate Scenarios
In 2021, Tronox undertook an exercise to review transition risks from policy and legal, technology, market and reputation (aligning with the TCFD framework). These risks where then reviewed and reported in the 2023 TCFD report. The assessments used three scenarios:
1.
Announced Actions (~+2.7°C in 2100) a scenario reflecting current and announced polices but does achieve net-zero pledges made by countries. Technology development is insufficient to meet decarbonization needs.
2.
Fast Technological Change (~+2°C in 2100) a scenario where rapid technological progress decreases energy and carbon intensity of the economy.
3.
Sustainable World (~ <2°C in 2100) a scenario reflecting a combination of technology developments, ambitious policies and a rapid shift in socioeconomic behaviors, where all current net zero pledges are fully achieved
In 2024, we updated the well-below 2°C scenario (previously sustainable world) to include a 1.5ºC scenario. Additionally, in the 2022 IEA World Energy Outlook the ‘Sustainable Development Scenario’ was removed as the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS) outcomes are stated to be somewhat similar. As 2030 approaches, mandatory climate-related reporting and legislation is increasing and the urgency of 1.5"C is reflected in these policies. The table below details the updated scenarios

Qualitative Scoring methodology
The figure below illustrates the scoring method

Sensitivity:
Scored from 1-5 with 5 indicated that a large number of critical assets or operations will be significantly affected by physical or transition risks and 1 meaning that the company does not have any critical assets that will be affected by physical or transition risks.
Adaptive capacity:
Scored from 1-5 with 5 being that the company is well positioned to manage transition or physical risks (e.g. able to easily implement steps to reduce sensitivity and easily able to reduce carbon footprint) and 1 being that the company is poorly positioned to manage transition or physical climate risks (e.g. high costs associated with addressing the risk and significant alteration to business).
Likelihood:
Scored from 1-5 where a score of 5 means there is a 90-100% probability of the risk occurring within a given timeframe and a score of 1 means there is a 0-10% probability of the risk occurring within a given timeframe.
Magnitude:
Scored from 1-5 with 5 meaning that the impact has the potential to be catastrophic (e.g. complete need to cease operations, financial losses resulting in bankruptcy, and litigation against company directors) and a score of 1 means the impact does not have the potential to materially impact profitability, operations, reputation etc (i.e. minimal impact).
A-83

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Summary of Scored Transitional Risks
1
Carbon Mechanisms
The expansion and increase of carbon pricing and the adoption of carbon border adjustments (CBAM) taxes could lead to direct costs and indirect costs associated with raw materials. The risk is most prominent over fast technology changes and climate first scenarios in the medium to long-term. For vulnerability, Tronox is exposed and sensitive to the risk as it operates in a carbon intensive industry but has a medium adaptive capacity due to the internal carbon price and detailed net-zero roadmap.

2
Customer Pressure
Reporting regulation on climate change puts a spotlight on companies’ ability to act, therefore many customers have increasing climate commitments and decarbonization goals. This results in an increasing demand from clients and customers for products with a lower carbon footprint. The risk is most prominent over fast technology changes and climate first scenarios in the medium to long-term. For vulnerability, Tronox is exposed and sensitive to the risk as it operates in a carbon intensive industry supplying may end users but has a medium adaptive capacity due the detailed net-zero roadmap and robust reporting.

3
Stricter Regulations & Eco-design
Tighter regulations for end products like paints, coatings and plastics are expected to impose stricter requirements around sustainability and waste management. These measures may limit the production of less environmentally friendly products. The risk is most prominent over fast technology changes and climate first scenarios in the long-term. For vulnerability, Tronox is exposed and sensitive to the risk but has a medium to high adaptive capacity as it is actively reviewing eco-design, product strategy and replacement of substances.

4
Fossil Fuel Phase Out
Increasing number of countries with regulations to phase out coal and other fossil fuels. This could decrease the availability of natural gas for Tronox’s direct use, lowering production and therefore revenue. Tronox may also experience increased raw material costs due to the indirect impact of fossil fuel phase out on petroleum companies supplying petroleum coke, anthracite and sulfur. In the short-term the risk is low as fossil fuel production remains similar to today but over the med-long term, in the lower warming scenarios the risk increases as supply is limited and raw material costs will increase significantly. Tronox’s decarbonization plan will increase the adaptive capacity, but it will still be reliant on reductants.

5
Cost of Reaching Net Zero
Tronox may experience challenges reaching net zero by 2050 if some technologies are unavailable at a sufficiently competitive cost (e.g. green hydrogen, carbon capture, biocoke, etc.). Tronox can also face a high cost to implement those technologies. The risk is low under the climate first and fast technology changes scenarios as nascent technology becomes more cost competitive. The risk in the announced actions scenario only emerges in the med-long-term aligning with Tronox net-zero roadmap and technologies used.


A-84

TABLE OF CONTENTS

6
Natural Resources Restrictions
Increased pressure on natural resources could lead to increasing pressure on supply. This is likely to impact energy security and nature related dependencies. Inability to access energy would impact production while emissions resulting from land use or use of natural resources (e.g. water) could lead to direct costs. Tronox may also experience higher energy costs to processes lower quality ores. The risk in the short term is medium in announced actions and fast technology changes as energy resources and prices recover from the global crisis. The climate first scenario relies on international cooperation and easy access to clean energy so presents as a low risk.

We also updated the assessment of climate-related physical risks. We scored the risks considering pre and post mitigation. The figure below illustrates method used

Hazard: climate hazards that have the potential to impact operations. Full hazards assessed and thresholds are detailed.
Exposure: presence of processes that could be affected.
Sensitivity: the degree to which processes could be affected. Highly sensitive would be where a large number of critical assets or operations will be significantly affected by risks.
Adaptive capacity: the ability to adjust or respond to risks. High adaptive capacity would be where the company is well positioned to manage risks.
Risk (pre-mitigation): level of risk to the site without any adaptation or mitigation measures based on impact, exposure, sensitivity.
Risk (post-mitigation): level of risk to the site considering adaptation or mitigation measures that are already in place (not planned for future implementation) based on impact, exposure, sensitivity.

Pre-mitigation – Top Physical Risks
Climate hazard
Impact
Risk Scoring
Drought
Mining and mineral processing are water intensive processes. Sulfate pigment processing plants are similarly water intensive. Water shortages caused by drought can lead to operation disruptions and equipment damage. Impact is significantly greater in the long-term SSP5-8.5 scenario where extreme drought events become increasingly common.
Drought is a risk for all sites. However, risk scores vary across sites ranging from very low to very high. Risk scores are significantly higher in the long-term
SSP5-8.5 scenario where the probability of extreme drought is greater. Drought is a high to very high risk for regions such as Australia, South Africa, Brazil, and the Middle East which are particularly prone to drought.
Extreme wind speed
High winds can disrupt operations by forcing aerial equipment and height work to cease. In some sites across Europe and Australia, wind speeds are sufficient to cause slight to widespread damage to assets and equipment as well. Impact is more significant in mine sites which are mostly unsheltered compared to processing plants.
Extreme wind is a risk for multiple sites across Australia, Europe, and South Africa. Extreme wind is particularly high risk in mine sites which are unsheltered and vulnerable to aerial equipment disruptions. Extreme wind is a medium to very high risk in Atlas Campaspe, Cooljarloo Mine, Wonnerup Mine, and all sites in South Africa where wind speeds can reach up to 30 m/s.
Heat wave
Heat waves put workers at increased risk of heat-related illness which can lead to operation disruptions and reduced productivity. Impact is similarly more significant in mine sites which are mostly unsheltered and/or unshaded and workers are particularly exposed to the elements as compared to processing plants.
Heat waves are particularly evident in Yanbu where it is a medium to high risk. In other sites, like Fuzhou, Bahia, Hamilton, and KZN Sands Fairbreeze, heatwaves are a low risk but increase to medium and high in the long-term. Heat waves are similarly a risk in Europe and Australia although to a lesser extent. It is a low risk in the long-term for Thann and Cooljarloo.
Acute heavy rain
Acute heavy precipitation can flood sites and impede access, leading to operation disruptions and damage to assets. Like extreme wind speed and heat waves, impact is more significant in mine sites which are particularly vulnerable to land slides, runoff, etc. due to the nature of the site.
Acute heavy precipitation is a low risk in the long-term for multiple sites across Australia, Europe, South Africa and Brazil. Due to acute heavy precipitation being defined as a 1-in-100-year event, the likelihood of this risk occurring in the next 27 years is low (>25%) and the highest risk scoring attainable for this risk is similarly low and limited to the long-term.
Post-mitigation
Climate hazard
Impact
Adaptation and Mitigation Measures
Additional measures for consideration when feasible
Drought
Drought remains a medium to very high risk for several sites post mitigation. While most sites already have a water efficiency management plan in place, some sites do not. Drought remains very high risk particularly in some Australian sites where likelihood of and sensitivity to extreme drought is high but there are few high impact adaptation and mitigation measures currently in place
• 
Many sites rely on groundwater which is less exposed to drought although some of these sites will see a decrease in seasonal rainfall in the future which can impact aquifers
• 
Many sites also have water efficiency programs in place, particularly in regions identified as high-water stress areas such as Australia, South Africa, and the Middle East
• 
Regular inspection and maintenance of equipment and processes
• 
Install more water efficient equipment
• 
Water recovery, treatment, and recycling
• 
Rainwater harvesting
• 
Install water storage units onsite
Extreme
wind speed
Extreme wind remains a generally medium risk post mitigation except in Atlas Campaspe where speeds reach 30 m/s and high wind remains a very high risk. At such speeds, widespread damage is likely. While some sites have windbreaks in place, additional reinforcement may be required especially in sites where winds reach sufficient speeds to cause damage and assets are particularly vulnerable (e.g. old building).
• 
Provide training and guidance on managing high winds
• 
Some sites have also installed windbreaks
• 
Some sites, particularly mine sites, additionally carry out dust suppression
• 
Review and assess wind levels for critical infrastructure and provide suitable reinforcement (e.g. reinforce walls)
• 
Where not already done, install windbreaks in areas prone to erosion
Heat wave
Heat waves remains a medium risk for Bahia and KZN Sands Fairbreeze. While some adaptation and mitigation measures are already in place, additional measures such as limiting outdoor work during the hottest times and providing hydration, supplements, and PPE can further reduce risk
• 
Provide training and guidance on managing high temperatures
• 
Some sites additionally provide hydration, supplements, and PPE particularly in regions with regular high temperatures such as the Middle East and China
• 
Legislations in these regions also limit outdoor work during the hottest times of the day
• 
Continue to provide guidance and emphasize this to high-risk workers
• 
Ensure suitability and redundancy in HVAC systems to cope as temperatures rise
• 
Investigate options for lighter or more breathable PPE as alternatives where feasible
• 
Where not already done, limit outdoor work during the hottest times of the day

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Acute heavy rain
While acute heavy rain is a very low to low risk in the post mitigation scenario, it remains the 4th greatest physical risk for Tronox based on overall cumulative score. While most sites have pumps, drainage systems, and/or culverts in place to remove floodwater from the site, operations may be impacted by floods in the surrounding areas which can impede access to and from the site.
• 
Some sites have pumps, drainage systems, and/or culverts in place to remove floodwater and redirect it into more suitable locations
• 
Most of these locations also carry out regular inspections, maintenance, and upgrades of existing systems
• 
Fuzhou also stockpiles raw materials in the event of road closures that impede access to and from the site
• 
Review and assess flood immunity levels for critical infrastructure and provide suitable reinforcement
• 
Where not already done, carry out regular inspections, maintenance, and upgrades of drainage systems
• 
Inspect stockpiles in mine sites during heavy rain to ensure stability and safety
• 
Consider a divergent system to divert floodwater in the site and surrounding areas to more suitable locations or an attenuation pond where space permits
• 
Implement water sensitive urban design principles to slow the conveyance, increase the infiltration, or actively attenuate rainwater (e.g. porous pavements)

Directors’ Remuneration Report
Introduction
Tronox Holdings plc (the “Company”) is subject to disclosure regimes in both the United States and United Kingdom. While some of the disclosure requirements in these jurisdictions overlap or are otherwise similar, some differ and require distinct disclosures. This report represents our UK statutory Directors’ Remuneration Report which includes disclosures required by English law and which forms part of the statutory Annual Accounts and Reports of Tronox Holdings plc for the year ended December 31, 2025. The UK government has enacted “The Companies (Directors’ Remuneration and Audit) (Amendment) Regulations 2025”, however this is applicable for financial years beginning on or after May 11, 2025 and therefore has not been applied in preparing this remuneration report. Related and complementary information is included in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) section of the proxy statement for the year ended December 31, 2025 as required by the United States SEC. The CD&A section of the proxy statement for the year ended December 31, 2025 can be found at investor.tronox.com. The UK Directors’ Remuneration Report is approved by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (“HRCC”) with respect to the compensation for any Executive Directors and by our Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee (“G&S” Committee) with respect to the Non-Executive Directors (defined as non-employee Directors who serve on the Company’s board), in each case, on behalf of the Board of Directors on March 11, 2026. In addition, the UK Directors’ Remuneration Report has been approved by and signed on behalf of the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the HRCC oversees the remuneration of any Executive Directors and the G&S Committee oversees the remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors.
Annual statement by the Chairs of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee
On behalf of the Board, we are pleased to introduce the statutory UK Directors’ Remuneration Report for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In line with UK remuneration reporting regulations, the Company is required (i) to seek binding approval from shareholders for a UK Directors’ Remuneration Policy (at least every three years) and (ii) to seek, annually, advisory approval for an Annual Report on Remuneration which describes the implementation of the Policy.
The most recent Directors’ Remuneration Policy was approved by the shareholders at the AGM on May 3, 2023. This UK Directors’ Remuneration Report, therefore, includes a Directors’ Remuneration Policy - in line with UK regulations - that will be proposed as a resolution subject to a binding shareholder vote at the Company’s 2026 AGM. Subject to approval by shareholders, the UK Directors’ Remuneration Policy will become effective from the 2026 AGM date and shall be in place for the next three-year period unless a new policy is presented to shareholders for approval before then. All payments to Directors (both Executive and Non-Executive) during the policy period will be consistent with the approved policy.
This UK Directors’ Remuneration Report includes this Annual Statement along with the Annual Report on Remuneration for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 which, together, will also be subject to an advisory shareholder vote at the AGM on April 28, 2026.
Although we are required to report on remuneration in the UK, being solely US listed, the HRCC and the G&S Committee continue to design and implement the compensation arrangements for Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors respectively, primarily within a US context. As stated above, related and complementary information is included in the CD&A section of the proxy statement for the year ended December 31, 2025 which can be found at investor.tronox.com.
In the year ended December 31, 2025, all decisions taken on remuneration were in accordance with the terms of reference of the HRCC and the G&S Committee and involved the exercise of appropriate commercial judgement. No positive discretions were exercised in relation to directors’ remuneration in the year beyond the exercise of the commercial judgement of the Committees.
UK Directors’ Remuneration Policy
The UK Directors’ Remuneration Policy which will be proposed for approval by shareholders at the 2026 AGM is substantially consistent with the prior policy approved by our shareholders at the 2023 AGM. Where any material changes from the prior policy are proposed these are shown as indicated.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Overview of Policy
As a solely US listed company, changing the domicile of the Company to the UK in 2019 did not change the HRCC and G&S Committee’s approach to compensation arrangements which continue to be set within a US context. Whilst set with a US context, the approach also aligns with UK requirements.
For more information regarding the context of our compensation philosophy and objectives as applied to our Executive Directors, please see the CD&A.
The UK Directors’ Remuneration Policy set out herewith applies to:
Executive officers appointed to the Board of Directors (“Executive Directors”); and
Non-Employee Directors appointed to the Board of Directors (“Non-Executive Directors”).
Currently, our Chief Executive Officer (John D. Romano) is the only Executive Director on the Board. All other Board directors are Non-Executive Directors. Tronox’s other senior executives who we refer to as “Named Executive Officers” in the CD&A are not subject to the UK Directors’ Remuneration Policy and are not discussed in the UK Directors’ Remuneration Report.
Future Policy table
Our policy is designed to provide sufficient flexibility for unanticipated changes in compensation practices and business conditions to ensure the HRCC and G&S Committee, respectively, have appropriate discretion to react as is deemed prudent. Periodic reviews of market practice and shareholder input are undertaken in order to determine the appropriate level of flexibility in the policy. Nothing in the following policy is intended to broaden or change the powers currently available to the HRCC and G&S Committee, respectively, or to impact the manner in which decisions are assessed. Maximum caps are provided to comply with the required legislation and should not be taken to indicate an intent to make payments at that level. The HRCC will continue to consider whether, in its view, compensation arrangements are in the overall interests of shareholders.
Slightly different formats have been used in respect of the tables for the Executive Directors and the Non-Executive Directors. All dollar amounts are shown in US dollars, unless indicated otherwise.

Annual Bonus (Annual Incentive Plan) (“AIP”))
To focus our Executive Directors on achieving key annual financial and operational goals and
objectives that drive overall performance and reward for successful performance.
At or following the commencement of each fiscal year, the HRCC determines the individual AIP incentive target (denominated as a percentage of base salary) for our Executive Director and the annual performance metrics and discretionary component(s), if any, of the AIP plan.

AIP payout levels are determined by the HRCC after the fiscal year end and normally made in cash.

The HRCC determines the actual bonus payout by assessing the performance of the Company and individual against the targets set for
For our CEO, his current AIP target is set at 130% of base salary.

Depending upon performance, a payout of 0% – 200% of the target level may be earned.

The HRCC may increase the target and maximum amounts available, and may alter the threshold payout level, from time to time.

The HRCC may set such conditions to the AIP plan as it considers appropriate.
Those conditions may be financial, non-financial, corporate, divisional, team or individual measures and in such proportions as the HRCC considers appropriate.

the fiscal year.

The Company has adopted a recoupment or “Claw-Back” Policy for executives, including the CEO. This policy allows for clawback of incentive compensation, from the AIP, if payments pursuant to the plan were based on financial results that were subsequently restated due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws and the payment was greater than it would have been if calculated based on the accurate financial statements.
Consistent with US practice, the HRCC reserves the right to make other bonus payments on an exceptional basis which it considers to be a fair reflection of the particular contribution of an executive and, in the view of the HRCC, appropriate and in the interests of shareholders. While there is no current intent to utilize this flexibility, the HRCC has reserved discretion to make such further bonus payments up to an extra amount equal to the prevailing AIP maximum.
that supports the Company’s core values.

Performance is normally measured over a period of one financial year.
 
Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”)
To focus our Executive Directors on achieving and sustaining longer-term business results
and reward performance.

Amounts realized, if any, dependent on company achieving long-range financial goals and sustained or increased stock price.

Performance
-based RSUs motivate officers to achieve medium- to long-term financial and strategic goals that are expected to lead to increased shareholder value; annual grants with overlapping performance periods reward sustained performance
over the long-term
The Company operates a long-term incentive program under which awards may be made in the form of Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Share Options, Share Appreciation Rights, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Awards and Other Share-Based Awards, cash payments and such other forms as the HRCC in its discretion deems appropriate, including any combination of the above.

Within this framework, the Company’s current approach is to normally make awards of the following types of Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”):

 • 
Time-based RSUs: subject to a service condition and normally vesting in installments over a three-year period

 • 
Performance-based RSUs: subject to performance measures and a service condition and normally vesting shortly after the end of a three-year performance period.

Dividends may accrue on vested shares only and are payable in shares or cash.

The terms of each form of award, including vesting periods, the application of any performance conditions and the relative proportions of each form of award within an annual equity award grant will be determined by the HRCC prior to each grant.

Awards are normally settled in shares. However, they may be settled in shares, cash or a
combination of the two, at the discretion of the HRCC.
The Company’s current, shareholder approved incentive plan provides that no participant may be granted total performance-based awards in any one-year period of more than $6,000,000 (based on grant date value) and the maximum amount
that can be earned in respect of a performance award denominated in cash or value other than shares on an annualized basis is $7,500,000. The
company reserves the right to make additional time-based awards in any one-year period up to the same maximum value as for performance-based awards (i.e. a total of
$12,000,000 (based on a grant date value)).

The grant level in any year in normal circumstances is expected to be significantly lower than the overall maximum set out above. In 2026, the CEO will be granted a LTI award with a dollar value of
$5,750,000.

It is the Company’s current practice to normally deliver this award as 50% performance-based RSUs and 50% time-based
RSUs, whereby 0%
to 200% of performance-based RSUs can vest depending upon performance.
Other than the vesting period, time-based RSUs are not presently subject to additional pre-vest performance conditions. This is consistent with US practice and provides for simplicity in the reward structure and direct alignment of a portion of the Executive Director’s compensation with shareholder outcomes.

Performance
-based RSUs (and other awards as determined by the HRCC) may be awarded subject to such performance conditions as the HRCC considers appropriate (whether financial or non-financial, relative or absolute and whether corporate, divisional, team
or individual).

For 2026, 50% of performance
-based RSUs are subject to a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”)
performance measure and 50% are based on Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”).

The HRCC reviews and selects the performance metrics and targets annually in advance of each grant and the HRCC may use other criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”)
(continued)
 
The Company has adopted a recoupment or “Claw-Back” Policy for executives, including the CEO. This policy allows for clawback of incentive compensation, from the LTI program, if payments pursuant to the plan were based on financial results that were subsequently restated due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws and the payment was greater than it would have been if calculated based on the accurate financial statements.
The HRCC
expressly reserves discretion to make such awards as it considers appropriate within these limits having regard to such factors it considers appropriate including performance, market factors and/or competitive practice and retention needs of the Company.

The HRCC may also increase or decrease the award level to be
made in any year (though always subject to the overall
plan maximum set out above) and the threshold vesting level, and the mix of performance-based and time-based awards in any year in light of performance and/or competitive practice.
Any
such goals may be determined on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published or special index or internal benchmark
deemed applicable by the HRCC.

Performance for the performance-based RSUs is normally measured over a period of three years.
 
Benefits
Intended to provide competitive benefits that promote employee health, financial security, and income security in the event of an executive’s involuntary termination.
An Executive Director is eligible to receive all benefits available to senior staff from time to time as determined by the HRCC. The HRCC periodically considers both the range of such benefits and whether such benefits may be appropriate for a particular Executive Director or more generally.

Benefits are defined by local practice but typically include medical and other insurance benefits, financial counselling assistance, and annual executive wellness exam.

Executive Directors will also be entitled to participate in the Company’s relocation program on a basis that is no less favorable than for any other participants (current or former) in such program.

In addition, the Company may pay for expenses related to business travel, accommodations and meals while conducting business.

Recognizing that an Executive Director may incur (i) taxes outside their home country which he/she would not bear but for the UK domicile of the Company and/or (ii) taxes at a higher rate than may otherwise be the case, the HRCC may authorize full or partial tax equalization payments (inclusive of any additional tax reimbursement associated with the tax paid, as appropriate) to mitigate or eliminate such additional burden.
Unlike other elements of compensation, the cost of providing benefits may change without any action by the HRCC. However, the HRCC monitors the overall costs to ensure that the provision of benefits remains an appropriate use of the Company’s funds.
Reimbursement or payment by the Company for expenses, such as travel, accommodation and meals, are not considered to be benefits in the normal US sense.
As such, the Company pays these expenses and also pays any UK tax (inclusive of any additional tax reimbursement associated with the tax paid) on these expenses, where applicable for UK activities.
Tax equalization payments will be capped at such amount as would result in an after-tax position under which the individual could reasonably be expected to be in as if the Executive Director had worked from their home country instead of incurring UK workdays and incurring UK tax relating to UK benefits (as advised by a reputable tax advisor), inclusive of any tax to be paid on such tax equalization payment.
None.
No material changes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pension (retirement plan)
To attract and retain Executive Directors.
The Company operates pension
arrangements in which an Executive Director may participate
as follows:

 • 
Tax-qualified retirement savings plan (the “Savings Plan”): all US-based employees are able to contribute the lesser of up to 85% of their annual salary or the limit prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service on a before-tax basis. The Company may provide a match on a proportion of the employee’s contribution (during 2025 the Company matched 100% of the first 6% of pay that each employee contributed). In addition, there may be a discretionary profit sharing Company contribution applied (this was 6% of an employee’s eligible compensation for 2025). All contributions to the Savings Plan, as well as any Company matching contributions, are fully vested upon contribution. All Company profit sharing contributions vest after three years of service.

 • 
Nonqualified retirement savings plan (the “Savings Restoration Plan”): provided to US executives in addition to the Savings Plan. The Company may contribute at the appropriate level to the Savings Restoration Plan on a before-tax basis any amounts that would be provided under the Savings Plan but for limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on qualified retirement plans. Also, US Executive Directors can participate in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, which allows deferral of up to 20% of base salary and annual bonus.
The limits relating to pension contributions will be as set out in
the Operation column of the policy table.

Where an Executive Director is not a US resident, the Company may make retirement savings contribution provisions for that individual at a level which the Company considers appropriate, taking account of the relative value of provisions available to US executives and local practice in the country of residence of the Executive Director.
None.
No material changes.
Pension (retirement plan) (continued)
 
 • 
Qualified defined benefit retirement plan (the “Qualified Plan”): has been frozen since April 2009 and Mr. Romano is the only Executive Director participating in this plan.

The Company periodically reviews pension provisions and reserves the right to amend the level of benefits provided to an Executive Director in line with the normal operation of the above plans.

The Company will honor the pensions obligations entered into under all previous policies in accordance with the terms of such obligations.
 
 
 
Notes:
1.
The HRCC administers the AIP and LTI consistent with its charter and the discretion granted to the HRCC under each program as described in the above remuneration policy table. The HRCC retains certain discretions in relation to the operation and administration of these plans including: (i) the timing of awards and payments; (ii) the size of awards, within the overall limits disclosed in the policy table; (iii) the determination of performance measures and targets and resultant vesting and pay-out levels; (iv) the determination of the treatment of individuals who leave employment, based on the rules of the incentive plans, and the treatment of the incentive plans on
A-92

TABLE OF CONTENTS

exceptional events, such as a change of control of the company; and (v) the ability to make adjustments to existing awards made under the incentive plans in certain circumstances (e.g. rights issues, corporate restructurings or special dividends). While performance conditions will generally remain unchanged once set, the HRCC has the usual discretions to amend the measures, weightings and targets in exceptional circumstances (such as a major transaction) where the original conditions would cease to operate as intended. Any such changes would be explained in the subsequent annual remuneration report and, if appropriate, be the subject of consultation with the company’s major shareholders.
2.
The Company’s pay policy for other employees is based on broadly consistent principles as that for the Executive Directors. Annual salary reviews take into account individual performance, Company performance, local pay and market conditions, and salary levels for similar roles in comparable companies. Most employees are eligible to participate in the annual incentive bonus, but opportunity and performance measures vary depending on level, region, and role. Senior executives are eligible to participate in the annual incentive bonus and the LTI program on broadly similar terms to the Executive Directors.
3.
The 2026 performance measures for the AIP comprise a mix of overall Company financial and operational metrics alongside a mix of personal performance objectives as set out in the “Implementation of policy for fiscal year 2026” section of this report. These metrics are aligned with key performance indicators used within the business to monitor performance and we believe are appropriate measures for incentive purposes. There is a threshold to maximum payout range of 50% to 200% of target. Each year the performance measures and targets are determined by the HRCC.
4.
The current LTI performance awards comprise a mix of 50% time-based RSUs (which, consistent with US practice, are not subject to pre-vest performance criterion) and 50% performance-based RSUs in respect of which performance is normally measured over a three-year performance period. For 2026, 50% of the performance-based RSUs are based on a TSR performance measure with TSR measured relative to a peer group of companies over a three-year period. There is a threshold to maximum vesting range of 25% to 200% of the initial target number of units with threshold set at achieving a 35th percentile ranking and maximum vesting set at 65th percentile ranking. The other 50% of performance-based RSUs are based on the third year (2028) annual Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). There is a threshold to maximum vesting range of 25% to 200% of the initial target number of units with ROIC targets established for threshold, target, and maximum vesting levels. A 50/50 mix of a TSR and ROIC-linked metrics have been selected as the most effective means for focusing our executives on achievement of long-term growth and shareholder value creation. Each year the perfomance measures and targets are determined by the HRCC.
5.
UK tax rules require us to include certain costs incurred for our Executive Director when attending board meetings held in the UK (such as accommodations and food) as taxable benefits. Under parallel US rules, these expenses are considered business expenses and not considered taxable benefits. Therefore, the HRCC expressly reserves the right for the Company to authorize such expenditure at such events within its agreed policies and not to count such items towards the maximum limit.

Non-Executive Directors’ fees
To appropriately recruit, retain and compensate Non-Executive Directors of the highest caliber.
Fee levels are reviewed annually having regard to external comparators such as the Company’s peer group and other market and economic factors, as well as a consideration of the time commitment and responsibilities associated with the role, and the caliber and experience of the individual.

Judgement is then exercised as to what is considered to be reasonable in all the circumstances regarding both quantum and the mix of pay having regard to competitive position and such other
factors as are considered relevant.

Flexibility is retained on how the Non-Executive Directors’ fees are structured and whether general retainer fees, committee membership fees, chairmanship fees, attendance fees, or board attendance or time based or travel allowances are utilized.

Non-Executive Directors currently receive an annual retainer fee plus additional fees for serving as non-executive Chair, Lead Director, Chair of board committees and for membership of board committees.

Fees are normally paid quarterly in arrears in cash.
There is no maximum fee level or increase. All factors set out under

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Non-Executive Equity Awards
To appropriately recruit, retain and compensate Non-Executive Directors of the highest caliber.
To align Non-Executive Directors’ interests with shareholders.
Time-based RSUs are typically granted annually to Non-Executive Directors. All such awards shall be subject to vesting periods as set by the G&S Committee.

RSUs will be granted on the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders and vest the earlier of:
a) the date of the next annual general meeting of shareholders or
b) May 31st of the year following the grant date (assuming such individual is a board member at the time of vesting).

Dividends equivalents accrue and are paid (in cash) when the RSUs vest.

The value of equity awards granted to Non-Executive Directors is periodically reviewed having regard to the same factors as for the cash fees set out above.

New Non-Executive Directors may receive a pro-rated annual equity grant upon joining the Board or a pro-rated equity award added to their annual equity award to reflect service prior to the annual grant date.
The current annual award level is
$150,000, subject to normal increases from time to time.

The Company’s current shareholder approved incentive plan provides for a maximum annual equity grant value of
$750,000 for any Non-Executive Director of the Company.
No performance conditions apply to Non-Executive Director equity grants in order to ensure Non-Executive Directors
maintain their independence.
No material changes.
Benefits
To take account of the Company’s UK-domicile
Non-Executive Directors are not eligible for Company benefits or pension.

The Company may pay for, or may reimburse, expenses such as travel, accommodations and meals while conducting business.

Recognizing that a Non-Executive Director may incur taxes outside their home country which he/she would not bear but for the UK (non- US) domicile of the Company
and/ or incur taxes at a higher rate than may otherwise be the case, full or partial tax equalization payments (inclusive of any additional tax reimbursement associated with the tax paid, as applicable) may be authorised to mitigate or eliminate such additional taxes.

The Company pays for annual UK tax preparation for all Non-Executive Directors (inclusive of any tax reimbursement associated
with payment of this benefit, as applicable).
Unlike other elements of compensation, the cost of providing benefits may change without any action by the G&S Committee. However, the overall costs are monitored to ensure that the provision of benefits remains an appropriate use of the Company’s funds.

Reimbursement or payment by the Company for expenses, such as travel, accommodation and meals, are not considered to be benefits in the normal US sense. As such, the Company pays these expenses and also pays any UK tax (inclusive of any additional tax reimbursement associated with the tax paid) on these expenses, where applicable for UK activities.

Tax equalization payments will be capped at such amount as would
result in an after-tax position under which the individual could reasonably be expected to be in as if the Company was not subject to UK tax and reporting requirements due to the UK domicile of the Company (as advised by a reputable tax advisor), inclusive of any tax to be paid on such tax equalization payment.

UK tax preparation fees are subject to vendor increases for this service.

Under parallel U.S. rules, these expenses are considered business expenses and not considered taxable benefits. Therefore, the G&S Committee expressly reserves the right for the Company to authorize such expenditure at such events within its agreed policies and not to count such items towards the maximum limit.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Historical benefits and incentive plan awards
All benefits including under prior pension or sick pay arrangements which were entered into by the Executive Director prior to the approval of this Directors’ Remuneration Policy and which continue to be applicable remain available to the Executive Director on their continuing terms. Also, all historical awards that were granted under any current or previous incentive or equity arrangements to the Executive Director or to any Non-Executive Directors prior to the approval of this Directors’ Remuneration Policy, and which remain outstanding, remain eligible to vest on the basis of their original award terms.
Recruitment remuneration policy
In terms of the principles for setting a package for a new Executive Director, the starting point for the HRCC will be to look to the general policy for Executive Directors as set out above and structure a package in accordance with that policy.
In accordance with the UK regulations:
there is no cap on fixed pay on recruitment;
the maximum for variable pay will be in line with the Policy for existing Executive Directors as set out in the Remuneration Policy Table; and
in addition, buy-out awards may be made in order to facilitate a recruitment and any such buyouts are not subject to a cap.
In exceptional circumstances, the HRCC may award additional variable pay (outside of the normal ongoing variable pay arrangements and any buy-out awards) on a recruitment, but with the overall amount not exceeding the limits as set out in the Remuneration Policy Table.
Service contracts and policy on payments for loss of office
The Company does not have employment agreements with Executive Directors with defined notice periods other than if the Executive Director provides notice of resignation due to good reason, the Executive Director must provide the Company with continued service for a period of up to six months after such notice (although such period may be reduced in the discretion of the Company).
Non-Executive Directors do not have formal service contracts or letters of appointment and are appointed annually by shareholders for one-year terms.
Pursuant to the relevant employment agreement for our Executive Director and subject to applicable UK law, we are obligated to make certain payments to our executive officers and/or accelerate the vesting of their equity awards upon a termination of their employment, including termination of their employment in connection with a change of control.
The UK legislation does not require the inclusion of a cap or limit in relation to payments for loss of office. The HRCC will take all relevant factors into account in deciding whether any discretion should be exercised in an individual’s favor in these circumstances, and the HRCC will aim to ensure that any payments are appropriate in a US context and are fair and reasonable.
Non-Executive Directors do not have change in control arrangements or any notice periods prior to termination of service and are not entitled to any compensation on termination. However, all vested equity awards will be settled in cash or shares, at the discretion of the G&S Committee, upon termination of service. The G&S Committee also reserves the right to accelerate vesting of any unvested equity awards.
In addition, with respect to their service for Tronox, individuals may receive benefits in relation to assistance with tax returns as well as any tax equalization payments.
Details regarding the employment agreement and the potential payments upon termination of the current Executive Director are set out below. These include the principles regarding potential amounts payable under the change of control agreements (including in respect of LTI awards).

Employment agreement;
2.
Our retirement plans; and,
3.
Award agreements issued under the Company’s Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan.

Vesting of all equity-based incentive compensation, and with respect to any equity-based incentive awards subject to performance-based vesting, such vesting will assume performance at target.
Retirement plans
Executive officers who are eligible under our US Pension Plan will receive benefits upon their termination and achievement of certain age and service requirements. Executive officers could also be eligible for early enhanced retirement benefits in the event that their position is eliminated involuntarily or due to death, disability or retirement. (See the discussion under US Savings and Retirement Plans for a summary of the US retirement plans.) Mr. Romano, participates in the US Pension Plan.
Long-term incentives
Other than with respect to terminations without cause or for good reason in connection with a Change in Control, the following termination vesting definitions are contained in the standard award agreements for the annual grants of equity awards for all Executive Directors:
1.
In the event of Involuntarily Termination without Cause or for Good Reason (not resulting from a Change in Control), if the Termination date is before the March 5 of the calendar year following the grant date, then the grant of performance-based RSUs is forfeited. If the Termination date is on or after the March 5 of the calendar year following the grant date, a pro-rated portion (prorated based on time worked from Grant date to Termination date) of the unvested performance-based RSUs that would have been eligible to vest on the vesting date will remain outstanding and be eligible to vest on the normally scheduled vest date based upon the Company’s actual performance. The portion of the unvested time-based RSUs that would have become vested on the next regularly scheduled time-based vesting date, for example March 5, 2027, is pro-rated based on time worked from the Grant date (or last vesting date of the previous tranche) to Termination date.'
2.
In the event of death or disability, all unvested stock options and all restricted share units will vest immediately (performance-based units vest at target levels).
3.
If the Executive Director is terminated for any other reason, all unvested shares will be forfeited upon termination.
Employment agreement – John D. Romano
On February 28, 2024, the Company entered into an employment agreement with John D. Romano (the “CEO Employment Agreement”) for Mr. Romano to serve as sole CEO of the Company effective as of April 1, 2024. Under the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Romano shall be entitled to the following: (1) a base salary of not less than $1,100,000 per year; (b) an annual target bonus of not less than 130% of his annual salary; (c) a grant of long-term incentive compensation under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) for 2024 in the amount of $5,500,000; (d) employee benefits as are made available by the Company to its senior executives, including medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, as well as participation in the Company’s 401(k) plan; and (e) an annual stipend of $10,000 for personal financial advisory and/or tax preparation services.
In the event that Mr. Romano is terminated from his position without “Cause” or for “Good Reason” (as those terms are defined in the CEO Employment Agreement), he shall be entitled to a severance payment that includes: (a) two times the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus; (b) his Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) expenses for up to the earlier of 18 months or the date on which he becomes eligible for group medical insurance through another employer; (c) a pro-rata portion of his annual bonus for the year in which his termination occurs with such calculation being based on the Company’s actual results of that year multiplied by the percentage of the year that he worked at the Company prior to his termination; and (d) the vesting of any equity awards based on the terms of such awards and their underlying plans. In order to receive such severance benefits, Mr. Romano shall be obligated to enter into a Release Agreement that waives and releases any and all claims that he may have against the Company as of the date of the Release Agreement.

Performance scenarios
The UK legislation requires the inclusion of a scenario chart showing the levels of compensation that an Executive Director could earn in respect of his or her service over the coming year under the policy in certain circumstances. The legislation was drafted with UK-oriented compensation practices in mind and does not make clear how to treat certain US-oriented compensation such as time-based RSUs. The HRCC considers these awards to be performance related and aligning the interests of executives to those of the Company’s shareholders. For the purposes of the scenarios below, based on advice regarding the interpretation of the UK legislation, we have shown time-based RSUs as fixed pay even though the HRCC considers RSUs to be a key element of variable compensation. To assist the reader, the table distinguishes between such awards and the other elements of fixed pay.
We show below the projected FY26 scenario chart for our CEO.
Chief Executive Officer – John D. Romano


The assumptions used for the performance scenarios chart are as follows:
Minimum
Total fixed pay: base salary for fiscal year 2026 plus estimated value of 2026 benefits (based on fiscal year 2025 benefits, including pensions contributions) plus anticipated grant date value of time-based RSU award for fiscal year 2026 (i.e. 50% of $5,750,000 LTIP dollar amount award)

No accrued dividend equivalent payments on vested RSUs or investment assumptions have been included; and no share price growth assumptions have been included other than for the final performance scenario – in line with the UK reporting requirements.
Consideration of employment conditions elsewhere in the group
In accordance with prevailing commercial practice, the Committee evaluates the compensation of employees of the Company in determining the compensation policy and the compensation payable to an Executive Director, including CEO to workforce pay ratios.
The Company seeks to promote and maintain good relationships with employees as part of its employee engagement strategy, but does not normally formally consult with employees on pay policy.
Consideration of shareholders’ views
As described in the Proxy Statement, we regularly seek and carefully consider shareholder feedback regarding our compensation practices. In particular, each year the HRCC takes into account the results of the shareholder vote on compensation related matters and any discussions with shareholders on compensation matters over the year when making future compensation decisions in respect to our Executive Director.
Annual Report on Remuneration
The Annual Report on Remuneration sets out how we implemented our remuneration arrangements in 2025 and how we intend to implement the Directors’ Remuneration Policy for the 2026 financial year. An advisory resolution to approve this report will be put to shareholders at the 2026 AGM.
Where sections of the Annual Report on Remuneration have been audited in accordance with UK statutory requirements, this has been indicated.

Notes:
1.
On March 18, 2021, Messrs. Turgeon and Romano were appointed as permanent Co-CEOs and members of the Board of Directors. On April 1, 2024, John Romano was appointed sole Chief Executive Officer effective April 1, 2024. Mr. Turgeon retired from his role of Co-CEO of the Company on April 1, 2024 and transitioned to a Non-Executive Director effective April 2, 2024 (his Non-Executive Director compensation paid to him commencing April 2, 2024 is reported with other Non-Executive Directors).
2.
For Mr. Romano this figure reflects benefit amounts (assuming December 31, 2025 GBP to USD Fx rate of 1.35, where applicable) that include the following: $4,216 for disability & life insurance premiums, $13,000 for financial consulting (increased from $10,000 based on market review), $371 for UK tax preparation fees and corresponding estimated $304 tax reimbursement, $6,362 for UK BOD meeting accommodations/meals and corresponding estimated $4,241 tax reimbursements, and $118,216 for tax equalization.
3.
For Mr. Romano the reported 2024 benefits value in the table above has been updated from that reported as $101,798 for Mr. Romano in the corresponding table in the 2024 Directors’ Remuneration Report. The reason for the update to this figure in the 2024 Directors’ Remuneration Report is that the figure in that report included estimates for tax reimbursements related to travel and accommodation for Board meetings in London. This item has now been finalized. The amount of the update for Mr. Romano is an additional $1,861 in benefits value.

For Mr. Romano, the details of the performance measures, targets, and results applicable to the AIP for 2025 are as follows:

More details of the calculation methodologies for the performance metrics in the above table are in the CD&A.
At the February 10, 2026 meeting the HRCC approved the overall 2025 Tronox results that resulted in a payout of 67% of target. The overall Tronox payout represents 80% of our CEO’s annual incentive opportunity. The remaining 20% is based on the HRCC’s evaluation of individual performance.
Mr. Romano has a target Annual Incentive of 130% of base salary, or $1,430,000 in 2025 with 80% of target, or $1,144,000, linked to overall Tronox results, and 20% of the target, or $286,000, linked to individual results.
The HRCC recommended a payout of $766,480 (67% of $1,144,000) for overall Tronox results and an Individual Performance payout of $286,000 (100% of $286,000) resulting in a total payout of $1,052,480 for Mr. Romano and the Tronox Board of Directors approved the payment.
Regarding decisions on the 2025 cash compensation for the CEO with respect to the 20% component of AIP linked to individual performance, the HRCC and the independent members of our Board considered the Company’s execution against key strategic, operational, and financial priorities in 2025. The HRCC noted the following Tronox results in making this determination:
Strengthening Vertical Integration & Capital Discipline:
Successful commissioning of the Fairbreeze extension and the completion of construction of Namakwa East OFS which is currently in the process of being commissioned - two major mining projects in South Africa which replace existing mines approaching end of life and which we believe will secure long-term, low-cost feedstock for rutile, zircon and ilmenite.
A-100

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 
In response to a prolonged industry downturn and need to preserve liquidity, reduced 2025 capital expenditures in a manner which enabled continued investment in essential safety and reliability initiatives.
Sustainable Cost Improvement
Execution:
Launched the Sustainable Cost Improvement Program, a comprehensive initiative focused on operational excellence, technology enablement, supply chain optimization, and SG&A alignment.
Achieved over $90 million in annualized savings in 2025; on track to deliver $125–$175 million in annualized savings by the end of 2026.
Enhancing Liquidity & Financial Flexibility:
Strengthened the balance sheet through a $400 million senior secured bond offering.
Implemented targeted operational measures to manage near term cash flow, including the closure or temporary idling of select pigment and mining operations.
Advancing Rare Earth Strategic Initiatives:
Acquired an approximately 5% equity interest in Lion Rock Minerals, providing access to promising monazite and rutile resources.
Received coordinated, non-binding indications of support for up to an aggregate of $600 million in potential limited or non-recourse financing from Export Finance Australia and the U.S. Export Import Bank to advance development of the Company’s rare earth supply chain.
Safety and
Sustainability:
As it related to safety, in 2025, the Company achieved record results in injury frequency rates and leading indicators, reflecting continued maturation of its global safety programs and the effectiveness of risk based controls. Six of our operating sites achieved zero injuries for the year, reinforcing our belief that zero is possible.
On sustainability, we achieved our 2025 environmental targets: a 27% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emission; a 9% reduction in Scope 3 emissions intensity in our supply chain; and a 38% reduction in waste to external landfills.

Details of the performance measures and targets applicable to the performance-based RSUs granted on February 21. 2023 with a performance period ending on December 31, 2025 and that were eligible to vest on March 5, 2026 are as follows:

50% of the performance-based RSUs vested based upon the percentile rank of our Total Shareholder Return (“TSR” defined as share price appreciation plus dividends reinvested) over the three-year measurement period of January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 as compared to companies in the “Capital Markets Peer Group” as defined below. The targets applying for the TSR measure are as follows:

Target
(100% vesting)
Maximum
(200% vesting)
TSR percentile ranking
<35th percentile
35th percentile
50th percentile
≥ 65th percentile
For purposes of calculating TSR, the starting price for the period was based on the 30-day average closing price prior to the performance period and the ending price was based on the 30-day average closing price prior to the end of the performance period. The Company achieved -66.5% TSR over the period that equated to a 14.3rd percentile ranking that resulted in a below threshold (below 35th percentile performance level) payout of 0.0% for this metric. The actual number of units that vested based on this metric equaled the aggregate number of shares granted multiplied by 50% and then multiplied by the 0.0% TSR payout percentage.
The 2023 Capital Markets Peer Group included the following companies: Ashland Inc (ASH); Avient Corporation (AVNT); Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (AXTA); Cabot Corporation (CBT); Eastman Chemical Company (EMN); FMC Corporation (FMC); H.B. Fuller Company (FUL); Iluka Resources Limited (ILU.AX); Koppers Holdings Inc. (KOP); Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (KRO); Minerals Technologies Inc. (MTX); Olin Corporation (OLN); Orion Engineered Carbons, S.A. (OEC); Quaker Chemical Corporation (KWR); Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (RYAM); RPM International Inc. (RPM); Univar Solutions Inc. (UNVR); U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (SLCA); and Venator Materials PLC (VNTR). Since the award grant date, Univar Solutions was acquired in 2023 and U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. was acquired in 2024. Therefore, the Capital Markets Peer Group excluded the results of these two companies for purposes of determining the final payout. Venator Materials PLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023 and TSR results for this company was counted as negative 100% TSR for the three-year period.

50% of the performance-based RSUs vested based upon the Company’s Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) in the third year of the measurement period (2025) for the three-year measurement period which covered calendar years 2023, 2024, and 2025. The Company’s 2025 ROIC was 0.0% that resulted in a 0.0% payout (below threshold) for this metric. The actual number of units that vested based on this metric equaled the aggregate number of shares granted multiplied by 50% and then multiplied by the 0.0% ROIC payout percentage.
The table below details the ROIC performance metric targets, actual performance, and resulting payout %:

For 2025, the figure for Mr. Romano reflects the value of the time-based restricted share unit award (341,191 RSUs) granted on February 19, 2025 with closing stock price on the date of grant of $8.06. The amount for Mr. Romano has nil value from the vesting of performance-based RSUs that were granted on February 21, 2023 for which the vesting was based on two performance metrics as described in footnote 5 and measured to December 31, 2025 and resulted in a final overall payout percent of 0.0%.

Employer contributions to retirement plans for 2025 include the following: The Company match into the US Savings Plan was 100% of the first 6% of employee’s contributions up to the IRC limits for each year and the same match went into the Savings Restoration Plan
A-101

TABLE OF CONTENTS

for all eligible income above the IRC limit. The Company made a discretionary contribution of 6% of employee’s earnings into the US Savings Plan up to the IRC limit for each year and the same contribution went into the Savings Restoration Plan for all eligible income above the IRC limit. For Mr. Romano amounts reflect employer contributions to the US retirement plans described above. Mr. Romano is also a deferred member of the Tronox Incorporated Retirement Plan which was frozen for new benefit accruals from 2009 and, as such, the value included in his 2025 amount relating to this plan is $0. The present value of Mr. Romano’s accumulated benefits for the Tronox Incorporated Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2025 as determined using the estimated IFRS assumptions in effect on December 31, 2025 was $718,734. The earliest retirement age that Mr. Romano can receive unreduced benefits under the plan is age 65.
Non-Executive Directors
The following is provided on an audited basis.
Non-Executive Directors receive annual fees in lieu of a base salary. As non-employees of the Company and in accordance with Non-Executive Director compensation practices in the US, Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to receive an annual bonus or other benefits, including participation in the Company’s pension plans. The figures below for Mr. Turgeon for 2024 reflect only the fees, benefits, and RSU awards that he received pertaining to his Non-Executive Director role that commenced as of April 2, 2024. The table below provides cash fees, benefits, and equity grants attributable to 2025 (the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025) and 2024 (the period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024).

Amounts in the table below are based on December 31, 2025 Fx rate. After April 2025, there were two Board meetings held in the UK, and therefore, there are UK taxable benefits associated with accommodations and meals shown in the table below. In 2025, UK tax preparation fees relates to one UK tax filing (UK tax filing period ending April 2025 and filed in December 2025). Figures shown under Tax Reimbursements represent estimated tax reimbursements related to the UK tax preparation fees and tax estimates related to accommodations and meals for 2025. In addition, in 2025, tax equalization payments totaling $5,410 were paid to Mutlaq Al-Morished. We intend to continue to mitigate or eliminate any associated incremental tax burden our Directors might incur as a consequence of Board meetings held in the United Kingdom.

The figures in the Benefits 2024 column have been updated from those reported in the corresponding table in the 2024 Directors’ Remuneration Report excluding benefits figures for Messrs. Kaufthal, Jones, Khan, and Nkosi whose benefits figures remained the same. The reason for the updates to the figures in the 2024 Directors’ Remuneration Report is that the figures in that report included estimates for tax reimbursements related to UK tax preparation and estimates for tax reimbursements related to travel and accommodation for Board meetings in London and these items have now been finalized. The aggregate amount of the updates across all Non-Executive Directors is an additional $2,712 in benefits.

Subject to a service condition and vesting in three equal annual installments on March 5, 2026, March 5, 2027 and March 5, 2028. Fifty percent (50%) of the Target Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) award is delivered as time-based RSUs. The number of time-based restricted share units (RSUs) awarded has been calculated based on the LTIP award dollar amount divided by the grant date closing price (NYSE closing price on February 19, 2025 of $8.06). The face value is calculated based on the number of RSUs awarded multiplied by the grant date closing price (NYSE closing price on February 19, 2025 of $8.06). Dividend equivalents will be accrued on all RSUs until the units vest and will be paid at that time.

For Threshold, Target, and Maximum ROIC performance, the corresponding ROIC payout percentages are 25%, 100% and 200%, respectively.
The number of performance-based RSUs awarded has been calculated based on the LTIP award amount divided by the grant date closing price (NYSE closing price on February 19, 2025 of $8.06. The face value is calculated based on the number of RSUs awarded multiplied by the grant date closing price (NYSE closing price on February 19, 2025 of $8.06).
Dividend equivalents on both performance-based RSU awards are accumulated and paid only when the RSUs vest. Dividends equivalents will not be paid in the event that such RSUs do not vest.

Subject to a service condition and cliff vest on the earlier of (a) the date of the next AGM (anticipated to be April 28, 2026) or (b) May 31 of the year following the grant date. The number of RSUs awarded has been calculated based on $150,000 divided by the ten (10) trading day average closing price prior to the grant date of $5.51. The face value is calculated based on the number of RSUs awarded multiplied by the grant date NYSE closing price on May 7, 2025 of $4.91. Dividend equivalents will be accrued on all RSUs until the units vest and will be paid at that time.

Notes:
1.
For Mr. Kaufthal the increase in fees for 2021 is primarily due to the addition of $15k per month stipend.
A-108

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2.
For Non-Executive Directors, the decrease in benefits for 2021 is a result of COVID travel restrictions and, as such, no Board meetings took place in the UK, however tax preparation services were continued for Mr. Khan for tax equalization continuity purposes since he personally files a UK tax return.
3.
Both Messrs. Turgeon and Romano were appointed as Interim Co-CEOs on December 27, 2020 and neither served as a member of the Board of Directors in 2020. As such, there is not a full year of 2020 data to allow for comparison.
4.
For Non-Executive Directors, the increase in benefits in 2022 is a result of the lifting of COVID travel restrictions and, as such, two Board meetings took place in the UK during 2022. Accordingly, as the 2022 figure compares to a 2021 year of nil benefits, we show the percentage increase for 2022 as “N/A”. In addition, tax preparation services were continued for Mr. Khan for tax equalization continuity purposes since he personally files a UK tax return. The % Change for Benefits for Mr. Khan is updated to reflect the actual 2022 benefit figure of $5,555 that results in a slightly higher % Change for Benefits than disclosed in the equivalent table in the 2022 Directors’ Remuneration Report that reflected the estimated 2022 benefit figure of $5,402.
5.
On March 18, 2021, Messrs. Turgeon and Romano were appointed as permanent Co-CEOs and members of the Board of Directors, so salary for 2021 includes lower pre-CEO salary level for period January 1, 2021 to March 17, 2021. The increase in benefits is a result of the lifting of COVID travel restrictions and, as such, two Board meetings took place in the UK during 2022. The % Change for Benefits for Messrs. Turgeon and Romano is updated to reflect actual 2022 benefit figures ($29,073 and $31,203, respectively) that results in a slightly higher % Change for Benefits than disclosed in the equivalent table in the 2022 Directors’ Remuneration Report that reflected estimated benefit figures ($28,088 and $29,696, respectively). The decrease in bonus payout is a result of lower Company performance results for 2022 versus 2021.
6.
For Non-Executive Directors, the increase in benefits in 2023 is primarily due to general increases in the costs of related travel and accommodation for Board meetings in London and associated tax reimbursements. Mr. Johnson attended more UK board meetings than in the prior year. Mr. Al-Morished’s increase in benefits is primarily due to a total of $53,258 in tax equalization payments. The % Change for Benefits for Mr. Kaufthal, Mr. Al-Morished, Ms. Guthrie, Mr. Jones, Mr. Khan and Mr. Nkosi is updated to reflect the actual 2023 benefit figures of $18,722, $63,714, $11,270, $9,938, $7,797, and $13,752, respectively that results in a higher % Change for Benefits than disclosed in the equivalent table in the 2023 Directors’ Remuneration Report that reflected the estimated 2023 benefit figures ($17,162, $61,200, $8,452, $7,454, $5,848, and $10,314, respectively). For Mr. Johnston and Ms. Jones their % Change for Benefits remains the same as disclosed in last year’s report since there was no difference between the 2023 projected benefits and 2023 actual benefits figures.
7.
For Messrs. Turgeon and Romano, the increase in benefits in 2023 is primarily due to tax equalization payments. For Messrs. Romano and Turgeon their % Change for Benefits remains the same as disclosed in the 2023 Directors’ Remuneration Report since there was no difference between the 2023 projected benefits and 2023 actual benefits figures. The decrease in bonus payout is a result of lower Company performance results for 2023 versus 2022.
8.
For Non-Executive Directors (excluding Ms. Foufopoulos-De Ridder and Ms. Guthrie), the increase in 2024 fees reflects the increase of the annual board retainer from $75,000 to $100,000 annually that commenced as of January 1, 2024. Since Ms. Foufopoulos-De Ridder commenced her board service on May 8, 2024, we show the % Change from 2023 to 2024 as “N/A” for both fees and benefits. Since Ms. Guthrie voluntarily stepped down from the board effective February 21, 2024, the decrease in fees reflects the pro-rated fees she received in 2024 versus a full year of fees she received in 2023. The increase in 2024 benefits is primarily due to the cost of doing two UK filings during 2024 and the related tax reimbursements. The % Change for Benefits for Mr. Al-Morished and Mr. Johnson is updated to reflect the actual 2024 benefit figures of $105,919 and $18,474, respectively that results in a higher % Change for Benefits than disclosed in the equivalent table in the 2024 Directors’ Remuneration Report that reflected the estimated 2024 benefit figures ($105,174 and $14,354, respectively).
9.
For Mr. Romano, the increase in salary in 2024 reflects the promotional salary increase he received as a result of him transitioning from Co-CEO to the sole CEO as of April 1, 2024, the increase in benefits is primarily due to increased tax equalization amount, increased cost of UK accommodation & meals and related tax reimbursements, and cost of executive physical exam and related tax reimbursement, and the increase in bonus payout reflects the increase in target bonus opportunity from 100% to 130% of salary as a result of his promotion to sole CEO in 2024. The % Change for Benefits for Mr. Romano is updated to reflect the actual 2024 benefit figure of $103,659 that results in a higher % Change for Benefits than disclosed in the equivalent table in the 2024 Directors’ Remuneration Report that reflected the estimated 2024 benefit figure ($101,798). For Mr. Turgeon, the decrease in salary reflects his retirement from the Company as Co-CEO on April 2, 2024, the increase in benefits is primarily due to increased tax equalization amount and retirement gift and related tax reimbursement, and the decrease in bonus reflects that he was not eligible to receive a performance-based bonus payment for 2024 given his retirement date of April 2, 2024.
10.
For Non-Executive Directors, Ms. Foufopoulos-De Ridder and Mr. Turgeon, the increase in 2025 fees reflects their pro-rated fees for board service in 2024 to annual fees in 2025 as both commenced board service in 2024. Since Mr. Al-Morished retired from the board on May 7, 2025, the decrease in fees reflects the pro-rated fees he received in 2025 versus a full year of fees he received in 2024. Since Ms. Beck commenced her board service on February 19, 2025 and voluntarily stepped down from the board effective September 30, 2025, we show the % Change from 2024 to 2025 as “N/A” for both fees and benefits. The decrease in 2025 benefits is primarily due to the decrease in cost of doing UK filings (one versus two in 2024) and the related tax reimbursements. Mr. Al-Morished’s tax equalization payment was significantly less in 2025 versus 2024 since he retired in 2025.
11.
For Mr. Romano, the Board approved a salary increase for our CEO in 2025. However, management decided to forgo salary increases for 2025. His 2024 salary of $1,059,616 reflects year-end payroll cut-off prior to December 31, 2024 and his 2025 salary of $1,100,000 reflects full year salary, resulting in a 3.8% salary increase, but his annualized salary did not increase. The increase in benefits is primarily due to increased tax equalization amount. The decrease in bonus payout is a result of lower Company performance results for 2025 versus 2024.

As allowed for under method C of the UK reporting requirements, the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile ranked individuals have been identified from the UK sub-set of our global employee data set used for determining the CEO pay ratio for US disclosure purposes. The global data set includes annual total compensation paid information for all employees on our payrolls as of December 31 of the respective calendar year. Annual total compensation paid generally includes an employee’s gross income, including wages, overtime, bonuses and other cash incentives paid during 2025, allowances, employer retirement contributions, benefits, and equity vests. We then convert these amounts paid in local currencies to US dollars by applying the exchange rate as of December 31. We annualize the amounts for our new and mid-year hires and for those employees on unpaid leave for any period of time during the respective measurement period. We then extract the UK employee data, sort the annual total compensation paid for each employee from lowest to highest and identified the employees who were paid the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile. This methodology was deemed to be the most reasonable, consistent, and practical approach to identifying the relevant individuals for the purposes of this disclosure. Once the three employees were identified, we determined the breakdown of pay elements (salary, employer paid benefits and employer retirement contributions that reflect the time period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025), backed out the 2024 bonus paid in 2025 and added the 2025 bonus paid in 2026. The day by reference to which the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile employees were determined was December 31, 2025.
The CEO pay figure is the total remuneration figure as set out in the single figure table within this report and equivalent figures (on a full-time equivalent basis) have been calculated for the relevant 25th, 50th and 75th percentile employees as described above. For 2025, a CEO pay ratio has been calculated based on full year 2025 pay for Mr. Romano. For 2024, a CEO pay ratio has been calculated based on full year 2024 pay for Mr. Romano who transitioned to CEO as of April 2, 2024. As Mr. Turgeon ceased to be Co-CEO on April 1, 2024, no CEO pay ratio is shown in respect to his part-year service as Co-CEO. For 2022 and 2023, a separate CEO pay ratio has been calculated based on full year 2022 and 2023 pay, respectively, for Messrs. Turgeon and Romano who each served as Co-CEO and members of the Board of Directors for the full year. For 2021, a separate CEO pay ratio has been calculated based on full year 2021 pay for Messrs. Turgeon and Romano who each served as Interim Co-CEO from December 27, 2020 to March 17, 2021 and then each were appointed as Co-CEO and members of the Board of Directors as of March 18, 2021. The 2019 CEO pay figure reflects compensation from March 27, 2019 (the date of the Company’s re-domicile to the UK) to December 31, 2019. The HRCC is comfortable that the resulting calculations are representative of pay levels at the respective quartiles.
The table below shows the breakdown of remuneration for each percentile employee used to calculate the CEO to employee pay ratios.

Remuneration which are based on Single Figures of $4,060,384 and $3,930,530, respectively. The reason for the updates to the Single Figures in the 2022 Directors’ Remuneration Report is that the figures in that report included estimates for Tax Reimbursements related to travel and accommodation for Board meetings in London and included assumed average stock price from October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 to determine the value of performance-based RSUs with performance periods that ended in 2022. Both the actual value of the Tax Reimbursements and the final value of the performance-based RSUs have been determined and are reflected in the Single Figures for 2022 which have been used to recalculate the 2022 ratios in the table above.

The disclosed CEO to employee pay ratios for 2023 shown above for Messrs. Turgeon and Romano are based on Single Figures of $3,809,292 and $3,776,145, respectively and differ from the ratios disclosed in the equivalent table in the 2023 Annual Report on Remuneration which are based on Single Figures of $3,723,050 and $3,690,094, respectively. The reason for the updates to the Single Figures in the 2023 Directors’ Remuneration Report is that the figures in that report included assumed average stock price from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 to determine the value of performance-based RSUs with performance periods that ended in 2023. The final value of the performance-based RSUs have been determined and are reflected in the Single Figures for 2023 which have been used to recalculate the 2023 ratios in the table above.

Consideration by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of matters relating to Executive Directors’ remuneration and the Governance and Sustainability Committee of matters relating to Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration
The HRCC is responsible for overseeing the remuneration of the pay of the Executive Directors while the G&S Committee oversees the pay of the Non-Executive Directors. The members of the HRCC during 2025 were Stephen Jones (Chair), Peter Johnston, and Sipho Nkosi. The members of the G&S Committee during 2025 were Ilan Kaufthal (Chair), Lucrèce Foufopoulos-De Ridder, Ginger Jones and Sipho Nkosi.
The members of the HRCC have no personal financial interest, other than as shareholders, in matters to be decided, and no potential conflicts of interest arising from cross-directorships. The members of the HRCC are all independent Directors and have no day to day involvement in running the business.
The HRCC Committee Chair, with input from the other committee members, directs the agenda for each committee meeting and seeks input from management and the HRCC’s independent compensation consultants.
The HRCC retained Frederic W. Cook & Co, Inc. (“FW Cook”) as its external independent compensation consultant to the HRCC and FIT Remuneration Consultants LLP (FW Cook’s associated firm in the UK) to assist with UK related issues. The HRCC has determined that both consulting firms are independent. The compensation consultants provide no other services to the Company and accordingly are considered to be independent by the HRCC and to provide independent and objective advice.
Fees paid to the HRCC’s external compensation consultants with respect to 2025 were approximately $238,865 to FW Cook and approximately $5,750 to FIT Remuneration Consultants LLP, such fees being charged on the firms’ standard terms of business for advice provided.

Implementation of policy for fiscal year 2026
Details of how the Policy will be implemented with respect to the CEO for fiscal year 2026 is set out in the table below:
Executive Director (CEO)
Remuneration Element
Implementation of Remuneration Policy for FY 2026
Base salary
On February 11, 2026, the HRCC recommended and the Board approved a 4.18% salary increase for Mr. Romano. Effective April 1, 2026, Mr. Romano’s salary will increase from $1,100,000 to $1,145,980.
AIP
On February 11, 2026, the HRCC recommended and the Board approved Mr. Romano’s AIP target of 130% of salary for 2026.

The HRCC’s approach for the 2026 AIP will be the same as for the 2025 AIP. Measures for 2026 will be based 80% on overall Tronox results and 20% on individual performance. For the 2026 AIP, for the overall Tronox component, we are removing the Disabling Injury Rate metric (with current weighting of 7.5%) and replacing it with a Safety Leading Indicator metric (with 5% weighting). In addition, we will be increasing the Total Recordable Injury Rate metric weighting from 7.5% to 10%. Further details of the measures and targets will be set out in next year’s Directors’ Remuneration Report to the extent the information is not considered to be commercially sensitive at that time.
LTI
On February 11, 2026, the HRCC recommended and the Board approved an increase in LTIP target in the amount of $250,000 for Mr. Romano. On February 11, 2026, Mr. Romano’s target LTIP increased from $5,500,000 to $5,750,000.

Consistent with 2025, awards in 2026 will be made as a mix of 50% time-based and 50% performance-based RSUs and the target LTI award amount. The 2026 LTI award is structured as follows:

 • 
Time-based RSUs: subject to a service condition and normally vesting in three equal installments each March 5 commencing on the March 5 after the year of grant.

 • 
Performance-based RSUs: subject to performance measures and a service condition and normally vesting shortly after the end of the performance period. Performance measures in 2026 will be as follows:

   – 
50% of performance-based RSUs: based on Total Shareholder Return measured relative to a Capital Markets Peer Group of companies. There is a threshold to maximum vesting range of 25% to 200% of the initial target number of units based on the level of actual performance achievement.

   – 
50% of performance-based RSUs: based on the third year 2028 Annual Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). There is a threshold to maximum vesting range of 25% to 200% of the initial target number of units with ROIC targets established for threshold, target, and maximum vesting levels.
Pension (retirement plan) and benefits
Mr. Romano participates in the US Savings Plan and Savings Restoration Plan and in the Qualified retirement plan. Details of these pension arrangements and benefits are provided in footnote 7 of the Executive Director Single Figure Table. With regard to pension and benefits arrangements no material changes are anticipated for 2026 other than the Company will continue to tax equalize Mr. Romano for any individual income and/or social taxes in the UK that become due and payable from him in connection with his executive/board business conducted in the UK. The Company will engage an external accounting firm to assess and manage any tax payments required in the UK and cover any costs associated with those accounting services, including the preparation and filing of any required UK tax return on his behalf.

Fees
There were no changes to Non-Executive Director compensation for 2026. Fees for 2026 are:

• 
Board annual fee: $100,000

• 
Non-Executive Chair annual fee (in addition to Board annual fee): $120,000

• 
A Lead Independent Director (in the situation whereby the Chair of the Board role is held by an executive of the Company) will receive an additional annual retainer of $50,000

On March 18, 2021, the Board elected Mr. Kaufthal to the role of Chair of the Board, after initially electing him in an interim capacity in December 2020, and approved a monthly cash stipend of $15,000 for his role as Chair. The monthly cash stipend is in addition to the other components of non-employee director compensation he receives (described above) and is paid to Mr. Kaufthal in recognition of his involvement in a wide range of Tronox matters that far exceeds the involvement of other non-executive Chairs at similarly-situated NYSE companies of which the Board is aware.
Equity-based awards
As in 2025, Non-Executive Directors will also receive an equity grant of time-based RSUs in 2026 with a face value of $150,000. RSUs will be granted on the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders and vest the earlier of: a) the date of the next annual general meeting of shareholders or b) May 31st of the year following the grant date (assuming such individual is a board member at the time of vesting).

Our responsibilities under ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We remained independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, which includes the FRC’s Ethical Standard, as applicable to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our audit approach
Overview
Audit scope
Tronox Holdings plc is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange: therefore, the group is subject to group financial statement audits in both the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (US).
A-114

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The group’s headquarters are in the UK, however it maintains its head office finance team in Stamford, Connecticut, USA. We have directed, supervised and reviewed the US corporate component team who perform the on-site testing in the US in relation to testing of balances accounted for on a centralized basis, including the audit of the consolidation, as well as for the Hamilton (USA) component. We have also directed, supervised and reviewed other component teams to perform the on-site testing for other global sites in scope. The UK group team have performed the remainder of the audit work, which principally relates to the audit of specified areas on the UK site in Stallingborough and the audit of the parent company financial statements.
We identified three reporting units which, in our view, required a full scope audit based on their size and risk. In addition, we determined that audit procedures over certain accounts or balances were required at a further five reporting units to provide sufficient overall group coverage of particular financial statement line items.
We used component teams in five countries to perform a combination of full scope audit procedures and audits of specific accounts or balances. Certain group financial statement disclosures and a number of complex areas, prepared by the head office finance function, were audited by the US corporate component team.
Our full scope audits combined with our audits of specific accounts or balances accounted for 88% of group revenue, 89% of group total assets and 57% of group loss. Our audit scope provided sufficient appropriate audit evidence as a basis for our opinion on the group financial statements as a whole. Where work was performed by teams outside of the UK, we determined the level of independent involvement needed at those local operations to be able to conclude whether sufficient, appropriate audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. We issued formal, written instructions to the teams outside the UK, setting out the work to be performed by each of them and maintained regular communication throughout the audit cycle. These interactions included participating in planning and clearance meetings with our teams in US, Australia, South Africa and Dubai, holding regular video conference calls, as well as reviewing working papers remotely and assessing matters reported.

Materiality
Overall group materiality: $14,000,000 (2024: $14,000,000) based on 0.5% of revenue. Overall company materiality: $17,500,000 (2024: $19,600,000) based on 1% of total assets.
Performance materiality: $10,500,000 (2024: $10,500,000) (group) and $13,000,000 (2024: $14,700,000) (company).
The scope of our audit
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditors’ professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by the auditors, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters, and any comments we make on the results of our procedures thereon, were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets (group)
 
As described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, as of 31 December 2025, the Company has $633 million of net deferred tax assets, however an additional $1,855 million has not been recognised as it has been deemed to be irrecoverable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The principal considerations relating to the recoverability of deferred tax assets are the significant judgement by management, particularly as it relates to the assessment of cumulative tax losses, estimates of future taxable income and assessment of factors that may limit the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets.
We evaluated the recoverability of deferred tax assets by performing the following procedures:

- Tested the effectiveness of controls relating to the income tax process, including controls over management’s assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets;

- Tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in management’s assessment; and

- Evaluated management’s assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets by jurisdiction including considering management’s assumptions relating to the assessment of cumulative tax losses by jurisdiction and management’s assessment of factors that may limit the recoverability of deferred tax assets. We did not identify any material misstatement as a result of the procedures performed.
 
 
Revenue recognition (group)
 
As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, Tronox has recorded $2,898m of revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025. Tronox recognise revenue at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised products. For most transactions this occurs when products are shipped from the manufacturing facilities or at a later point when control of the products transfers to the customer at a specified destination or time. Accruals are made for sales returns, rebates and other allowances, which are recorded in “Net Revenues” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) and are based on historical experience and current business conditions. We determined that a high degree of resources and effort were required in performing procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition.
Testing of revenue has been performed by the component teams which cover 88% of the overall group revenue balance. The procedures performed are as follows:

- Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of management’s controls to ensure revenue is correctly recognised in the correct period;

- For certain locations, tested revenue transactions through data auditing techniques, alongside certain controls testing to support this approach, that enabled us to test whether the entire revenue has been matched to receivables or cash recorded;

- For the remaining locations, tested a sample of revenue transactions recognised to the appropriate support such as signed contracts, purchase orders, invoices, proof of delivery and cash receipts;

- Tested unusual manual journal entries that credited revenue;

- Tested a sample of shipments made in the year to the revenue ledger to ensure the revenue transactions recorded are complete;

- Tested a sample of credit notes raised, including sales returns and rebates, to appropriate supporting documentation; and

How our audit addressed the key audit matter
 
- For components not in scope, we have performed disaggregated revenue analytics based on products and location to assess the revenue balances and any unusual movements.

We did not identify any material misstatement as a result of the procedures performed.
 
 
Valuation of investment in subsidiary and intercompany receivable (parent)
 
As described in notes 4 and 5 to the parent company financial statements, the parent company has an investment in the Tronox group subsidiaries and an intercompany receivable with Tronox Investment Holdings Limited. The valuation of this investment and intercompany receivable is significant to the company balance sheet.

The value of the investment held by the company at year end was fully impaired to $0 and the intercompany receivable is $1,730 million. Investments are tested for impairment where indicators exist and given the reduction in the share price from $10.07 on 31 December 2024, to $4.17 on 31 December 2025, an impairment trigger is deemed to have occurred.

Accounting standards require the recoverable amount to be calculated as the higher of fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCD) and value in use (VIU). Management determined that VIU was higher. This was calculated using a discounted cashflow forecast. Due to the investment’s significance and the judgements used within the impairment assessment calculation and managements qualitative assessment, this was identified as a key audit matter.
For the investment in subsidiary balance, we have performed the work below:

- Obtained management’s impairment assessment and ensured the calculation is mathematically accurate;

- Assessed managements determination that there is one cash generating unit and one asset group;

- Performed sensitivity analysis to identify the key assumptions in the model;

- Obtained supporting evidence for the key assumptions used in the model;

- Engaged our PwC valuation specialist team to evaluate the appropriateness of the WACC rate; and

- Considered the adequacy of management’s disclosure in the financial statements, including the key sensitivities in their estimates.

Based on the work performed, as summarised above, we concluded that the carrying value of the Investment in the Tronox group subsidiary has been appropriately fully impaired to $0.

For the intercompany receivable balance, we have performed the work below:

- Obtained management’s qualitative assessment and ensured the assessment is appropriate and in accordance with the requirements of FRS102 Section 11;

- Obtained supporting evidence for the qualitative assessment performed by management;

- Considered the adequacy of management’s disclosure in the financial statements.

Based on the work performed, as summarised above, we concluded that the carrying value of the intercompany receivable with Tronox Investment Holdings Limited is appropriate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How we tailored the audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the group and the company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which they operate.
The group’s accounting process is structured around a local finance function in each of the group’s reporting units. These functions maintain their own accounting records and controls (although transactional processing and certain controls for some reporting units are performed at a shared service centre) and report to the head office finance team through an integrated consolidation system.
In establishing the overall group audit strategy and plan, we determined the type of work that needed to be performed at the reporting units by the group engagement team and by component auditors from other PwC network firms. Where the work was performed by component auditors, we determined the level of involvement we needed to have in the audit work at those reporting units so as to be able to conclude whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our opinion on the group financial statements as a whole.
For each reporting unit, we determined whether we required an audit of their complete financial information (“full scope”) or whether procedures on specified accounts or balances would be sufficient. Those where a full scope audit was required included the largest reporting units (Hamilton plant and Australian business), determined as significant because of their size. We performed a full scope audit at one further reporting unit (Corporate) based on its size and risk. We maintained regular communication with the local teams during the planning, execution and completion phases of their audits. We directed the work of the component teams, reviewed their approach and findings and participated in the closing meetings of the significant components.
In addition, we determined that audit procedures over certain accounts or balances were required at a further five reporting units (UK, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Botlek and France) to provide sufficient overall group coverage of particular financial statement line items. We performed a detailed review of the working papers for the significant components and other component teams as deemed appropriate. We maintained regular communication with the local teams during the planning, execution and completion phases of their audits. We directed the work of the component teams, reviewed their approach and findings and participated in the closing meetings of the components.
The US corporate component team performed audit procedures over certain areas that are being managed by the corporate finance team based in Stamford. These include revenue for five components (Hamilton, Australia, Botlek, France and UK), current income tax receivable/payable, deferred tax asset/liabilities, derivative financial instruments and related hedge accounting, bonus accruals and bank and other borrowings and related finance costs.
Our full scope audits combined with our audits of specific accounts or balances accounted for 88% of group revenue, 89% of group total assets and 57% of group loss.
In determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures to be performed at non-significant components, the US corporate component team performed analytical procedures at a group level. Those not subject to analytical review procedures were individually, and in aggregate, immaterial. This gave us the evidence we needed for our opinion on the financial statements as a whole.
The impact of climate risk on our audit
As part of our audit, we made enquiries of management to understand the process management adopted to assess the extent of the potential impact of climate risk on the group and parent’s financial statements and support the disclosures made within the Directors’ Report. In addition to enquiries with management, we also:
-
Understood managements processes in place to assess climate risk; and
-
Read additional reporting made by the entity on climate including its sustainability report which includes Management’s commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
We considered the consistency of the disclosures in relation to climate change within the Annual Report and Financial Statements and our knowledge obtained from our audit.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our procedures did not identify any material impact in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, or our key audit matters for the year ended.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative thresholds for materiality. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures on the individual financial statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the financial statements as a whole as follows:
 
Financial statements - group
Financial statements - company
Overall materiality
$14,000,000 (2024: $14,000,000).
$17,500,000 (2024: $19,600,000).
 
 
 
How we determined it
0.5% of revenue
1% of total assets
 
 
 
Rationale for benchmark applied
We considered materiality in a number of different ways, including revenue benchmarks, average adjusted loss metrics and asset benchmarks. We determined that an appropriate level of materiality for performing the 2025 audit would be within the range of the above benchmarks, whilst at neither the upper nor lower ends. Based on our professional judgment, we selected an overall materiality level of $14,000,000 which represents 0.5% of revenue and 5.2% of adjusted loss before tax (adjusted for the $228m restructuring charge).
We determined materiality to be calculated as 1% of total assets. Total assets is the primary measure used by shareholders in assessing the performance of the entity. The parent company is primarily a holding company with an investment in a subsidiary company.
For each component in the scope of our group audit, we allocated a materiality that is less than our overall group materiality. The range of materiality allocated across components was $2.6 million to $13.3 million. Certain components were audited to a local statutory audit materiality that was also less than our overall group materiality.
We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds overall materiality. Specifically, we use performance materiality in determining the scope of our audit and the nature and extent of our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures, for example in determining sample sizes. Our performance materiality was 75% (2024: 75%) of overall materiality, amounting to $10,500,000 (2024: $10,500,000) for the group financial statements and $13,000,000 (2024: $14,700,000) for the company financial statements.
In determining the performance materiality, we considered a number of factors - the history of misstatements, risk assessment and aggregation risk and the effectiveness of controls - and concluded that an amount at the upper end of our normal range was appropriate.
We agreed with those charged with governance that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above $1,100,000 (group audit) (2024: $1,100,000) and $2,000,000 (company audit) (2024: $980,000) as well as misstatements below those amounts that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Conclusions relating to going concern
Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the group’s and the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included:
Understanding and evaluating the group’s assessment of its going concern;
Performing a risk assessment to identify factors that could impact the going concern basis of accounting;
Evaluating the financial forecasts and the group’s stress testing of liquidity, including the severity of the downside scenarios that were used to support the going concern assumption and testing the mathematical accuracy of the model;
Reading loan agreements to identify all relevant terms and covenants in order to test compliance with all objectively determinable debt covenants; and
Reading and evaluating the adequacy of the disclosures made in the financial statements in relation to going concern.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s and the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the group’s and the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Reporting on other information
The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report based on these responsibilities.
With respect to the Strategic report and Directors’ Report, we also considered whether the disclosures required by the UK Companies Act 2006 have been included.
Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the Companies Act 2006 requires us also to report certain opinions and matters as described below.
Strategic report and Directors’ Report
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the Strategic report and Directors’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2025 is consistent with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic report and Directors’ Report.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Directors’ Remuneration
In our opinion, the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of directors’ responsibilities in respect of the financial statements, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the group and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to mining regulations, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as tax legislation and the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting unauthorised manual journal entries to create fictitious revenue during the reporting period and management bias in significant accounting estimates or judgments to manipulate results. The group engagement team shared this risk assessment with the component auditors so that they could include appropriate audit procedures in response to such risks in their work. Audit procedures performed by the group engagement team and/or component auditors included:
Holding discussions with Group management, Internal Audit, legal and tax advisors, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
Evaluation of management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
Review of Board meeting minutes;
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates and judgments, particularly in relation to the key audit matters above;
Identifying and testing journal entries based on our risk assessment and evaluating whether there was evidence of management bias that represents a risk of material misstatement due to fraud; and
Incorporating elements of unpredictability into the audit procedures performed.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher
A-121

TABLE OF CONTENTS

than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Our audit testing might include testing complete populations of certain transactions and balances, possibly using data auditing techniques. However, it typically involves selecting a limited number of items for testing, rather than testing complete populations. We will often seek to target particular items for testing based on their size or risk characteristics. In other cases, we will use audit sampling to enable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample is selected.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report.
Use of this report
This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the company’s members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.
Other required reporting
Companies Act 2006 exception reporting
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
we have not obtained all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
the company financial statements and the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.
We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.

(Millions of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data and metric tons data or unless otherwise noted)
1.
The Company
Tronox Holdings PLC (referred to herein as “Tronox”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates titanium-bearing mineral sand mines and beneficiation operations in Australia and South Africa to produce feedstock materials that can be processed into TiO2 for pigment, high purity titanium chemicals, including titanium tetrachloride, and Ultrafine© titanium dioxide used in certain specialty applications. Our strategy is to be vertically integrated and produce enough feedstock materials to be as self-sufficient as possible in the production of TiO2 at our 7 pigment facilities located in the United States, Australia, Brazil, UK, France and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”). We believe that vertical integration is the best way to achieve our ultimate goal of delivering low cost, high-quality pigment to our coatings and other TiO2 customers throughout the world. The mining, beneficiation and smelting of titanium bearing mineral sands creates meaningful quantities of zircon, pig iron and the rare-earth bearing mineral, monazite, which we also supply to customers around the world.
We are a public limited company listed on the New York Stock Exchange and are registered under the laws of England and Wales. For the year ended December 31, 2025 the consolidated financial statements of the Tronox Holdings Plc group have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards.
These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issue on March 11, 2026 by the Board of Directors.
2.
Basis of Presentation
We are considered a domestic company in the United Kingdom (“UK”) and, as such, are required to comply with filing requirements in the United Kingdom. The consolidated financial statements of the Tronox Holdings Plc group have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards.
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiary companies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) which are recognized at fair value.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that the effect on the financial statements of a change in estimate due to one or more future confirming events could have a material effect on the financial statements.
See note 5 for additional information.
Going concern
At the time of preparing and approving these financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements based on the operations and activities of its subsidiaries. The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
Foreign Currency
The U.S. dollar is the reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements. We determine the functional currency of each subsidiary based on a number of factors, including the predominant currency for revenues, expenditures and borrowings. Adjustments from the remeasurement of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in “Other operating (expense) income, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). When the subsidiary’s functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translation adjustments resulting from translating the functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollar equivalents, are charged or credited to Reserves, a component of shareholders’ equity, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Translation adjustments on intercompany foreign currency receivables and payables that are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments.
None of our subsidiaries operated in a hyper-inflationary economy for the years presented. The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is our presentation currency.
Rounding of Amounts
All the amounts contained in this financial report have been rounded to the nearest million dollars, except share, per share and metric tons data or unless otherwise noted.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised products. For most transactions this occurs when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities or at a later point when control of the products transfers to the customer at a specified destination or time. All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are reported as “Net revenues” in the Consolidated Statements of Profit or (Loss).
Accruals are made for sales returns, rebates and other allowances, which are recorded in “Net revenues” in the Consolidated Statements of Profit or (Loss) and are based on our historical experience and current business conditions. See Note 4.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes costs for purchasing, receiving, manufacturing, and distributing products, including raw materials, energy, labor, depreciation, depletion, shipping and handling, freight, warehousing, and other production costs.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are accounted for in accordance with IAS 38, Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”). Costs associated with the creation of intangible assets are classified into research phase costs and development phase costs. Costs in the research phase are always expensed. Costs in the development phase are capitalized, if all of the following criteria in IAS 38 are met:
1.
it is technically feasible to complete the project so that it will be available for use;
2.
management intends to complete the project and use or sell the resulting intangible asset;
3.
there is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
4.
it can be demonstrated how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
A-130

TABLE OF CONTENTS

5.
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset are available; and
6.
the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development can be reliably measured.
Research and development costs were $15 million and $14 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively. Development costs are capitalized; however, there were no development costs capitalized for the years presented.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to marketing, research and development, agent commissions, and legal and administrative functions such as corporate management, human resources, information technology, investor relations, accounting, treasury, and tax compliance.
Income Taxes
We have operations in countries around the world and are subject to income and similar taxes in these countries. The estimation of the amounts of income tax involves the interpretation of complex tax laws and regulations, as well as the analysis of the realizability of deferred tax assets, tax audit findings and uncertain tax positions.
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss), except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case, the tax expense is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where we and our subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. Any estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The amount of deferred tax recognized is based on the expected manner and timing of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by us, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the United Kingdom enacted legislation consistent with guidance from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) for the implementation of Pillar Two, effective in 2024. Additionally, various jurisdictions have now implemented Domestic Minimum Taxes which are also effective for 2024. Neither the UK Multinational Top-up Tax nor any jurisdiction’s Domestic Minimum Tax have an impact on our income tax provisions for both 2025 and 2024.
See Note 11.
A-131

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Value Added Tax (VAT)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of associated VAT, unless the VAT incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. If the VAT is not recoverable, it is recognized as part of the cost of the asset or as part of the expense. The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included in “Prepaid and Other” or “trade and other payables,” respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The VAT components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Fair Value Measurement
We use the following hierarchy when determining fair values:
Level 1 –
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 –
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and,
Level 3 –
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the Consolidated Balance Sheet dates. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The fair value for these instruments is determined using Level 1 inputs.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is fair valued using level 2 inputs.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is fair valued using Level 3 inputs. Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments;
The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves;
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the Consolidated Balance Sheet dates, with the resulting value discounted back to present value;
Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
See Note 6.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and money market accounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The financial institutions where our cash and cash equivalents are held are generally highly rated and geographically dispersed, and we have a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk.
At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $12 million and $1 million, respectively, of restricted cash.
A-132

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Trade Receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts
We apply the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. See Note 13.
Inventories, net
Pigment inventories are stated at the lower of actual cost or net realizable value, net of allowances for obsolete and slow-moving inventory. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Carrying values include material costs, labor, and associated indirect manufacturing expenses. Costs for materials and supplies, excluding titanium ore, are determined by average cost to acquire. Feedstock and co-products inventories including titanium ore are stated at the lower of the weighted-average cost of production or market. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding distribution costs. Raw materials are carried at actual cost.
We review, annually and at the end of each quarter, the cost of our inventory in comparison to its net realizable value. We also periodically review our inventory for obsolescence (inventory that is no longer marketable or suitable for its intended use). In either case, we record any write-down equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about alternative uses, market conditions and other factors. Inventories expected to be sold or consumed within twelve months after the balance sheet date are classified as current assets and all other inventories are classified as non-current assets. See Note 14.
Long Lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method as follows:
Land improvements
10 — 20 years
Buildings
10 — 40 years
Machinery and equipment
2 — 25 years
Furniture and fixtures
10 years
Land is not depreciated. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, except the costs of replacements or renewals that improve or extend the lives of existing properties, which are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective account, and any resulting gain or loss is included in “Other operating (expense) income, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). See Note 15.
Borrowing costs are recognized in “Interest and debt expense” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) in the period in which they are incurred. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. See Note 19.
We capitalize costs associated with our asset retirement obligations which are generally included in machinery and equipment. See Note 15.
Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized as tangible assets when management determines that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and anticipated exploration and development expenditures. Mineral leaseholds are depleted over their useful lives as determined under the units of production method. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property through the commencement of production are capitalized. See Note 15.
Finite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 20 years. See Note 16.
A-133

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets that are held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Under such circumstances, we evaluate impairments by cash-generating units for which the lowest level of independent cash flows can be identified. If the sum of the recoverable amount (the higher of fair value less cost of disposal and value in use) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its recoverable amount. Fair value is determined either using prices for similar assets in the marketplace (market approach) or discounted future cash flows (income approach). For assets that satisfy the criteria to be classified as held for sale, an impairment loss, if any, is recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less cost to sell.
The amount of the impairment of long-lived assets is written off against earnings in the period in which the impairment is determined. Long-lived assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed to profit or loss if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
Stripping costs
Costs associated with stripping activity, which is the process of removing mine waste materials to gain access to the mineral deposits underneath, during the production phase of surface mining are accounted for as either inventory or other asset in accordance with IFRIC 20, Stripping costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine. To the extent that the benefit from the stripping activity is realized in the form of inventory produced, we account for the costs of that stripping activity in accordance with the principles of IAS 2, Inventories (“IAS 2”). To the extent the benefit is improved access to ore, we recognize these costs as a noncurrent asset provided that:
it is probable that the future economic benefit (improved access to the ore body) associated with the stripping activity will be realized;
the component of the ore body for which access has been improved can be identified; and
the costs relating to the stripping activity associated with that component can be measured reliably.
Stripping activity assets are initially measured at cost, being the accumulation of costs directly incurred to perform the stripping activity that improves access to the identified component of ore plus an allocation of directly attributable overhead costs. In addition, stripping activity assets are accounted for as an addition to, or as an enhancement to, an existing asset. Accordingly, the nature of the existing asset determines whether we classify the stripping activity asset as tangible or intangible, and the basis on which the stripping activity asset is measured subsequent to initial recognition.
Trade Payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as noncurrent liabilities. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-60 days of recognition. See Note 17.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in “Other operating (expense) income, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). The effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow hedges is deferred in other comprehensive loss and is subsequently recognized in “Cost of goods sold” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) for commodity hedges, when the hedged item impacts earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities designated as hedging instruments are shown in “Other non-cash affecting net loss” within operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Any portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in “Other operating (expense) income, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss).
A-134

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is expensed over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method with amortization expense recorded in “Interest and debt expense” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). See Note 19.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless we have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. See Note 19.
Provisions
Litigation
We recognize a provision when litigation has commenced, or a claim or assessment has been asserted, or, based on available information, commencement of litigation or assertion of a claim or assessment is probable, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. See Note 22.
Asset Retirement Obligations
We recognize a decommissioning liability when we have a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. Accretion expense is recognized over time in “Interest and debt expense” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. Fair value is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted using a discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and risk specific to the liability. See Note 20.
Financial Assets and Liabilities
Our financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, net, environmental rehabilitation trust fund, derivative financial instruments and investment securities. Our financial liabilities include trade and other payables, and borrowings. Financial assets and liabilities are recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”).
We classify our financial assets in the following measurement categories:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or through profit or loss; and
those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on our business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this depends on whether we have made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). For assets measured at amortized costs, the interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the asset and are recorded in profit or loss.
We reclassify debt investments when and only when our business model for managing those assets change.
A-135

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Recognition and derecognition
We recognize purchases and sales of financial assets on trade-date, the date on which we commit to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and we have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement
At initial recognition of financial assets at amortized costs or a FVOCI asset, we measure a financial asset at its fair value plus, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”), are expensed in profit or loss. We measure trade receivables at their transaction price at initial recognition if the trade receivables do not contain significant financing component.
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on our business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which we classify debt instruments:
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in “other non-operating (expense) income, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss).
FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to “other non-operating (expense) income, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). Interest income from these financial assets is included in “interest income” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) using the effective interest rate method.
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is measured at FVPL is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) within “other non-operating (expense) income, net” in the period in which it arises.
We assess on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with our debt instruments carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, we apply the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. See Note 21.
Our exposure to financial risks is discussed in Note 6. The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in Note 21.
Leases
We determine if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Leased assets primarily include office buildings, rail cars and motor vehicles, forklifts, and other machinery and equipment. Our leases primarily have fixed lease payments, with real estate leases typically requiring additional payments for real estate taxes and occupancy-related costs. Certain of our leases also have variable lease payments. Variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate are initially measured at the commencement date, with any future changes in the index or rate excluded from the lease liability until they take effect, at which point the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset. Variable lease payments that are not index or rate based, such as variable payments based on our performance or use of the leased assets, are recorded as an expense when incurred and excluded from the measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Our leases typically have initial lease terms ranging from 1 to 25 years. Some of our lease agreements include options to renew, extend or early terminate the leases. Lease term is the non-cancellable

TABLE OF CONTENTS

period of a lease, adjusted by the period covered by an option to extend or terminate the lease if we are reasonably certain to exercise (or not exercise) that option. Our leases typically do not contain purchase options we expect to exercise, residual value guarantees or other material covenants.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of (a) fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, (b) variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date, (c) amounts expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees, (d) the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and (e) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising that option. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit discount rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Each lease payment is allocated between repayment of the lease liability and interest expense. The interest expense is charged to the income statement over the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the lease liability.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising (a) the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability, (b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, (c) any initial direct costs, and (d) restoration costs. Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.
Payments associated with (a) leases of low-value assets where the value of the asset when it is new is $15,000 or lower, and (b) short-term leases where the lease term is 12 or fewer months, are recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). See Note 23.
Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Dividends
Dividends declared to our shareholders are recognized as a liability in our financial statements in the period in which the dividends are declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at our discretion, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed. See Note 24.
Self-Insurance
We are self-insured for certain levels of general and vehicle liability, property, workers’ compensation and health care coverage. The cost of these self-insurance programs is accrued based upon estimated fully developed settlements for known and anticipated claims. Any resulting adjustments to previously recorded reserves are reflected in current operating results. We do not accrue for general or unspecific business risks.
Share-Based Compensation
We account for our share-based compensation in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, (“IFRS 2”). See Note 25.
Equity Restricted Share and Restricted Share Unit Awards (“RSUs”) – In accordance with IFRS 2, compensation expense related to restricted share awards that contain service, market and/or performance conditions and have graded vesting provisions is determined using the grant date fair value of our shares, excluding the effects of any non-market-based vesting conditions.
However, the grant date fair value excludes the service and performance conditions, as they are included in the assumptions about the number of awards expected to vest. We reassess the effects of non-market vesting conditions on the number of awards expected to vest at the end of each reporting period and recognize the impact of any revisions to the original estimate as a result of the reassessment in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). For awards containing a market condition, the fair value of the award is measured using the Monte Carlo simulation under a lattice model.
A-137

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under IFRS 2, each vesting tranche of a graded vesting award is considered a separate award and is amortized separately over its requisite vesting period resulting in accelerated recognition of the compensation expense. See Note 25.
Employee Benefits
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits
We provide pension and other postretirement plans for qualifying employees in certain jurisdictions, which are accounted for in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”). See Note 26.
Defined contribution plans – Contributions are recognized as expenses when they are due.
Defined benefit plans – The obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflow using interest rates of high-quality bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and with durations similar to those of the benefit obligations. In jurisdictions with no active market for such bonds, the market rates on government bonds are used. The liability is the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the fair value of the plan assets at the end of the reporting period. We charge or credit actuarial gains (losses) arising from changes in actuarial assumptions to equity in “Accumulated (losses) gains” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the period in which they arise. We recognize prior service costs in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss).
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit plans resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). Settlement gains or losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) when the settlement occurs.
Postretirement healthcare plans – The expected costs are accrued over the period of employment using the same accounting methodology as the defined benefit plans. We recognize actuarial gains and losses that arise from changes in assumptions as a charge or a credit to Accumulated (losses) gains within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The obligation that arises from these plans is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Changes in the present value of the postretirement healthcare plans resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). Settlement gains or losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) when the settlement occurs.
Short-term compensated absences – Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
Consolidations
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which we have control. We control an entity when we are exposed to, or have rights to, variable returns from our involvement with the entity and have the ability to affect those returns through the existence of power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to us. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform to our accounting policies.
Noncontrolling interests are that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to the interests which are not owned directly or indirectly by us. They are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss), Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the noncontrolling interests based on their respective interests in a subsidiary, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
A-138

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Business Combinations
We apply the acquisition method to account for business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the net assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by us. The identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are measured initially at their fair values on the acquisition date. We recognize noncontrolling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition by acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs and transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
If a business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held undivided interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit and loss.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. See Note 29.
Recently issued accounting standards to be Implemented
The standards and interpretations that are issued and applicable to Tronox, but not yet effective as of the date of issuance of the financial statements, are disclosed below. We intend to adopt these standards when they become effective. We are currently assessing the potential impact of adopting these new standards and interpretations on the financial statements of the group and the company.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7- Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
In May 2024, the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 were published focusing on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. These amendments clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of certain financial assets and liabilities, including a new exception for financial liabilities settled via electronic cash transfers. They also provide additional guidance on assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion. Furthermore, the amendments introduce new disclosure requirements for instruments with contractual terms that may alter cash flows, such as those linked to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets, and update disclosure requirements for equity instruments designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI). The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of these changes on its financial statements and will adopt the guidance as of the effective date.
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
On April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which introduces new requirements for structuring the statement of profit or loss, disclosing management-defined performance measures, and enhancing principles on aggregation and disaggregation. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The company is currently evaluating the guidance and will adopt the guidance as of the effective date.

Revenue
Nature of Contracts and Performance Obligations
We primarily generate revenue from selling TiO2 pigment products and related co-products, primarily zircon and pig iron, to our customers. These products are used for the manufacture of paints, coatings, plastics, paper, and a wide range of other applications. We account for a contract with our customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.
Our promise in a contract typically relates to the transferring of a product or multiple distinct products that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer, representing a single performance
A-139

TABLE OF CONTENTS

obligation within a contract. We account for shipping and handling activities that occur before control of the products has transferred to the customer as contract fulfillment activities, and shipping and handling activities that occur after control of products has transferred to customers as a separate performance obligation. Based on our contract terms and timing of control transfer, unsatisfied performance obligation related to shipping and handling at any given time is not expected to be material. Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling activities continue to be reported as “Net revenues” and related costs as “Cost of goods sold” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss).
The duration of our contract period is one year or less. As such, we have elected to recognize incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts, which primarily consist of commissions paid to third-party sales agents, as “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). Furthermore, we have elected not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations at each period end, given the original expected duration of our contracts are one year or less.
Transaction Price
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring products to the customer. The transaction price typically consists of fixed cash consideration. We also offer various incentive programs to our customers, such as rebates, discounts, and other price adjustments that represent variable consideration. We estimate variable consideration and include such consideration amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Sales returns rarely happen in our business, therefore it is unlikely that a significant reversal of revenue will occur.
Sales and similar taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities are excluded from the transaction price for the determination of revenue. The expected costs associated with product warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. Customer payment terms and conditions vary by contract and customer, although the timing of revenue recognition typically does not differ from the timing of invoicing. Additionally, as we generally do not grant extended payment terms, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised products. For most transactions this occurs when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities or at a later point when control of the products transfers to the customer at a specified destination or time.
Contract Balances
Contract assets represent our rights to consideration in exchange for products that have transferred to a customer when the right is conditional on situations other than the passage of time. For products that we have transferred to our customers, our rights to the consideration are typically unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payments become due. These unconditional rights are recorded as accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we did not have material contract asset balances.
Contract liabilities represent our obligations to transfer products to a customer for which we have received consideration from the customer. When a customer has poor credit worthiness, we may receive advance payment that is accounted for as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is earned when control of the product transfers to the customer, which is typically within a short period of time from when we received the advanced payment. Contract liability balance as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $4 million and less than $1 million, respectively. Contract liability balances were included within “Trade and other payables” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 were recognized as revenue within “Net revenues” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) during the first quarter of 2025.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Disaggregation of Revenue
We operate under one operating and reportable segment, TiO2. See Note 29 for details. We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by product type and geographic area. We believe this level of disaggregation appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors and reflects how our business is managed.
Net revenues to external customers by geographic areas where our customers are located were as follows:
 
Year Ended December 31,
 
2025

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Pensions Benefits Plan
The following are considered significant assumptions related to our retirement plan, with a brief description of the methodology used by management to develop the significant assumptions included below:
Discount Rate — The discount rates selected for estimation of the actuarial present value of the benefit obligations are determined based on the prevailing market rate for high-quality, fixed-income debt instruments with maturities corresponding to the expected timing of benefit payments as of the annual measurement date for each of the various plans. These rates change from year to year based on market conditions that affect corporate bond yields. Our two material pension plans comprised of our international plans: the U.S. Qualified Plan and Saudi Arabia End of Service Plan.
The 2025 and 2024 discount rates of 5.52% and 5.76%, respectively for the U.S. Qualified Plan were selected based on the results of a cash flow matching analysis, which projected the expected cash flows of the plan using a yield curve model developed from a universe of Aa-graded U.S. currency corporate bonds (obtained from Bloomberg) with BVAL score of 6 or greater. The 2025 and 2024 discount rates of 4.60% and 5.4%, respectively for the Saudi Arabia End of Service Plan were selected based on the prevailing market rate for high-quality U.S. bond yields (as the Saudi Riyal is pegged to the US dollar) adjusted for inflation differential between the US and Saudi Arabia with maturities corresponding to the expected timing of benefit payments as of the annual measurement date. This rate changes from year to year based on market conditions that affect U.S. bond yields. A 100 basis points reduction in discount rates would increase the pension obligation by approximately $19 million whereas a 100 basis point increase in discount rates would decrease the pension obligation by approximately $17 million.
Long-lived Assets
Key estimates related to long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment, mineral leaseholds, and intangible assets) include useful lives, recoverability of carrying values, and the existence of any retirement obligations. As a
A-141

TABLE OF CONTENTS

result of future decisions, such estimates could be significantly modified. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment range from two to forty years, and depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis. Useful lives are estimated based upon our historical experience, engineering estimates and industry information. These estimates include an assumption regarding periodic maintenance. Mineral leaseholds are depreciated over their useful lives as determined under the units of production method based on mine reserves. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortization methods and remaining useful lives are reviewed quarterly.
We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Under such circumstances, we calculate the recoverable amount (being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value in use) and compare this to the carrying amount of the assets being tested. If the carrying amount is greater than the recoverable amount then the excess is recorded as an impairment. The amount of the impairment is written off against earnings in the period in which the impairment is determined.
We performed an impairment assessment for our cash generating unit in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets as of 31 December 2025. This assessment was triggered by the decrease in our earnings because of the longer than expected macro-economic impact on market demand in the TiO2 industry coupled with decreases in our market capitalization as of the balance sheet date. We determined the recoverable amount using value-in-use (VIU) calculation based on the cash flow projections that management expects to generate covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond this period were extrapolated using a long-term growth rate of 2%. We discounted the cash flows using our pre-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as of 31 December 2025 of 12.2%. This assessment resulted in headroom of $2,270 million and as a result no impairment charge was recorded.
We consider the discount rate, long-term growth rate and operating income to be the assumptions most sensitive to change and have the most impact on our VIU. If the pre-tax discount rate had been increased by 1% with all other factors held constant, the headroom would have decreased by $192 million, still indicating no impairment charge. Additionally, if the long-term growth rate had been reduced by 0.5% with all other variables held constant, the headroom would have decreased by $194 million, again indicating no impairment charge. Moreover, if our operating income had been reduced by 10% with all other variables held constant, the headroom would have decreased by $449 million, indicating no impairment charge. These changes in the key assumptions are what management considers to be reasonably possible to occur.
Asset Retirement Obligations
To the extent a legal obligation exists, a liability is recorded at its estimated fair value and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. Fair value is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at a pretax discount rate which reflects both the time-value of money as well as the risk specific to the obligation.
Management used the following assumptions in determining obligations associated with mine closure and rehabilitation costs:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Income taxes and deferred taxes
We have operations in countries around the world and are subject to income and similar taxes in these countries. The estimation of the amounts of income tax involves the interpretation of complex tax laws and regulations, as well as the analysis of the realizability of deferred tax assets, tax audit findings and uncertain tax positions.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
We are subject to ongoing audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. Any estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We assess our income tax positions, and record tax provisions for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties are accrued as part of tax expense, where applicable. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized.
See Note 11 Income Taxes.

Financial Risk Management
In the normal course of our operations, we are exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risks. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative instruments. We do not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes, but have entered into derivative instruments for hedging purposes in order to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and natural gas prices. Our management of financial risks is aimed at ensuring that net cash flows are sufficient to meet financial commitments, and to maintain the capacity to fund our forecast project development strategy by:
Safeguarding our core earnings stream from our major assets through the effective control and management of financial risk;
Effective and efficient usage of credit facilities through the adoption of reliable liquidity management planning and procedures; and
Ensuring that investment and hedging transactions are undertaken with creditworthy counterparts.
Price Risk
Our products and raw materials are subject to price fluctuations as market supply and demand change. Accordingly, product margins and the level of profitability tend to fluctuate with changes in the business cycle. At December 31, 2025, with all other variables held constant, if the price of pigment strengthened by 5% against the prevailing prices, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $121 million higher (2024: pre-tax income, $127 million higher), and, with all other variables held constant, if the price of pigment weakened by 5% against the prevailing prices, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $121 million lower (2024: pre-tax income $127 million lower). At December 31, 2025, with all other variables held constant, if the price of zircon and other products strengthened by 5% against prevailing prices, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $23 million higher (2024: pre-tax income $27 million higher), and, with all other variables held constant, if the price of zircon and other products weakened by 5% against prevailing prices, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $23 million lower (2024: pre-tax income $27 million lower).
Foreign Exchange Risk
We manufacture and market our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, we enter into transactions that give rise to financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign

currencies. The following tables disclose our exposure to foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

At both December 31, 2025 and 2024, our primary foreign exchange exposure is to the Australian dollar denominated trade payables and asset retirement obligation balances in our U.S. dollar functional currency entities. If the U.S. dollar had weakened by 5% against the Australian dollar, with all variables held constant, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $9 million lower; and if the U.S. dollar had strengthened by 5% against the Australian dollar, with all other variables held constant, pre-tax income for the year would have been approximately $9 million higher.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will impact our financial results. We are exposed to interest rate risk on our floating rate debt, the 2024 Term Loan Facility, the 2024-B Term Loan Facility, the RMB Term Loan Facility, the Cash Flow Revolver, the RMB Credit Facility and the Emirates Revolver balances. Using a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2025, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would result in a net decrease to pre-tax income of approximately $7 million on an annualized basis. This is due to the fact that earnings on our interest earning financial assets of $35 million at December 31, 2025 would increase by the full 1%, offsetting the impact of a 1% increase in interest expense on our floating rate debt of $748 million.
During 2019, we entered into interest-rate swap agreements for a portion of our previous Term Loan Facility, which effectively convert the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the loan. The agreements expired in September 2024.
On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into amendments with two of our existing interest rate swap agreements with the counterparty banks. As a result of these amendments, the Company terminated two of our existing interest rate swap contracts which were indexed to LIBOR with an aggregate notional value of $500 million which had maturity dates of September 2024. At the time of these amendments, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged are still probable to occur, therefore, the gains accumulated of $11 million on the interest rate swaps prior to the amendments were amortized into interest expense through September 22, 2024, the original maturity of the interest rate swap agreements.
We simultaneously entered into two SOFR-indexed forward starting interest rate swaps with the same counterparty banks with no change to the aggregate notional value. The forward starting swaps became effective from June 2023 and will mature in March 2028 which will align with the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Indexing forward starting swaps to SOFR will also ensure that the reference rates in our hedge instruments will align with the interest rate terms of the Term Loan Facility which changed from LIBOR to SOFR effective June 30, 2023 in anticipation of Reference Rate Reform and pursuant to the loan agreement. We elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients in related to the following: 1) the assertion that the future forecasted transaction is still probable of occurring despite reference rate changes and 2) the assumption that the index of the future hedged transactions will match the index of the corresponding hedge instruments for the assessment of effectiveness.
A-144

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, on March 27, 2023, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap with a $200 million notional value which matures in March 2028 and effectively converts the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility.
On May 17, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with the counterparty bank to amend the remaining $250 million notional of the three original interest rate swap contracts of $750 million aggregate notional value. As a result of this amendment, the Company changed the rate indexed in the contract from LIBOR to SOFR, effective June 30, 2023 in anticipation of the Reference Rate Reform and to align the index rate in this contract to that in the Term Loan Facility, as described above. This amendment did not change the notional value and the expiration date of this contract, which expired in September 2024. We completed a hedge effectiveness test as a result of this amendment and determined that this hedge instrument continues to be highly effective, enabling us to continue to apply hedge accounting over the remaining term of this hedge relationship.
As a result of the 2024 Amendment (discussed in Note 19), the Company noted that the hedged transaction associated with the interest rate swap with a notional value of $200 million (which converted the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility) had changed as the hedged transaction would now convert the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the 2024 Term Loan Facility. There were no amendments to the terms of the $200 million interest rate swap, including the notional value, index rate, or expiration date as a result of the 2024 Amendment. However, given the change in the hedged transaction, we completed a hedge effectiveness test and determined that this hedge instrument continues to be highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows related to the hedged transaction, enabling us to continue to apply hedge accounting over the remaining term of this hedge relationship.
In line with the original maturity date, one of the interest rate swap agreements (notional value of $250 million) expired in September 2024. As a result of this, on September 26, 2024, the Company entered into two new interest-rate swap agreements for a notional of $125 million each with two counterparty banks, for an aggregate notional of $250 million. These new agreements are effective as of September 30, 2024 and will mature on September 30, 2031, in line with the maturity date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility following Amendment No.6 (discussed in Note 19). The Company has designated these two new hedges as cash flow hedges with the objective of ensuring that the Company continues to achieve the offsetting effect to the interest rate volatility associated with the $250 million portion of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility.
Additionally, on September 26, 2024, the counterparty bank associated with one of the existing interest rate swap contracts (notional value of $250 million) novated its rights and obligations in the interest rate swap contracts to a new counterparty. No other terms and conditions of the interest rate swap contract were impacted by this transaction. We also determined that it is probable the new counterparty will perform its obligations under the interest rate swap agreements. However, following the novation, the Company terminated the existing interest rate swap agreement and simultaneously entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with the new counterparty bank with an effective date of September 30, 2024 and expiring on September 30, 2031 (in line with the maturity date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility). At the time of this change, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged are still probable to occur, therefore, the gains accumulated of $3 million on the previous interest rate swap are being amortized into interest expense through March 11, 2028, the original maturity of the previous term loan agreement. As a result of this transaction, we completed a hedge effectiveness test and determined that this hedge instrument is highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows related to the hedged transaction, enabling us to apply hedge accounting over the term of the new hedge relationship.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company maintains a total of $950 million of interest rate swaps (with $450 million maturing in March 2028 and $500 million maturing in September 2031) with the objective in using the interest-rate swap agreements to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements. These interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in reserves and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

Currency Risk
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or a counterparty will fail to meet their obligations. A significant portion of our liquidity is concentrated in trade accounts receivable that arise from sales of our products to customers. In the case of TiO2, the high level of industry concentration has the potential to impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions. We have significant exposure to credit risk in industries that are affected by cyclical economic fluctuations such as mining. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and use credit risk insurance policies from time to time, as deemed appropriate, to mitigate credit risk but generally do not require collateral. Our contracts typically enable us to tighten credit terms if we perceive additional credit risk and historic losses due to write offs of bad debt have been relatively low. In addition, due to our international operations in our TiO2 segment, we are subject to potential trade restrictions and sovereign risk in certain countries in which we operate. We maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on specific customer review and current financial conditions. During 2025 and 2024, our ten largest third-party TiO2 customers represented 36% and 37%, respectively, of our consolidated net revenues. During both 2025 and 2024, no single customer accounted for 10% of our consolidated net revenues.
We apply the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. We have concluded that the lifetime expected losses on trade receivable under the new expected loss model approximates the allowance for credit losses estimated under our current method. This conclusion was based on historical payment profile of sales over the last three years. We do not expect this profile to change as our business model and our customer profile is not expected to change significantly in the foreseeable future.
The financial institutions where our cash and cash equivalents are held are generally highly rated and geographically dispersed, and we have a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk. The maximum exposure is the carrying values which were $199 million and $151 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not be able to meet or settle our financial liabilities and obligations as they fall due. Our liquidity position is managed to ensure that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet our financial obligations in a timely manner. We manage liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring that we have the ability to access required funding.
Our non-derivative financial liabilities include trade payables and borrowings. Trade payables are recorded at undiscounted contractual amounts, and maturities are based on the earliest date on which we may be required to pay. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, trade payables of $481 million and $483 million, respectively, were due within one year. See Note 19 for the maturity analysis for borrowings.
Capital Risk Management
Our objectives when managing capital are to safeguard our ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Additionally, our objective is to establish funding sources and a debt management structure that is appropriate for and supports our corporate initiatives. To achieve these objectives, we follow a disciplined and prudent capital management strategy that focuses on developing reputable, low cost, flexible, and committed sources of funding from funding providers over time. We continuously monitor our credit ratings to preserve funding flexibility. We have also entered into covenants that give us access to credit facilities, which further enhances our funding flexibility. Our treasury policy includes securing a mix of funding sources at acceptable terms and conditions to ensure we can meet our financial obligations as they are due. To mitigate liquidity pressures, we manage maturity profiles of debt to avoid large concentrations of debt maturing or being reissued in periods where credit margins are high.
A-146

TABLE OF CONTENTS

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net debt (the excess of our debt over cash and cash equivalents) was $3.2 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.
We manage our capital structure and make adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, we may adjust the dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during 2025 and 2024.
We are subject to externally imposed capital requirements in the form of loan covenants, which may have an impact on the manner in which capital is utilized. We have complied with these capital requirements during the reporting years.
Fair Value Estimation
For financial instruments that are subsequently measured at fair value, the fair value measurement is grouped into levels. See Note 3 for additional information on Level descriptions. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, financial instruments that are measured at fair value include the environmental rehabilitation trust (see Note 21). At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the environmental rehabilitation trust of $19 million and $16 million, respectively, was categorized as Level 2.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. See Note 19 for additional information regarding our borrowings.

Tronox Holdings plc is a U.K. public limited company and the parent company for the business group. The statutory tax rate in the U.K. at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 25%.
The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are impacted by a variety of factors, primarily income and losses in jurisdictions with unrecognized deferred tax assets, changes in tax rates, non-taxable income and expenses, prior year accruals, and rates different than the United Kingdom statutory rate.
At each reporting date, we perform an analysis to determine the likelihood of realizing our deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income (including the reversals of deferred tax liabilities) during the periods in which those deferred tax assets will become deductible. Our analysis takes into consideration all available positive and negative evidence, including prior operating results, the nature and reason for any losses, our forecast of future taxable income, utilization of tax planning strategies, and the dates on which any deferred tax assets are expected to expire. These assumptions and estimates require a significant amount of judgment and are made based on current and projected circumstances and conditions.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified negative evidence concerning our ability to realize our deferred tax assets in Brazil and the Netherlands. This evidence primarily relates to operational losses generated during the year, a three-year cumulative loss threshold crossed during the year, and fluctuating levels of income and expenses which have led to uncertainty regarding the ability to generate net income in these regions for the foreseeable future. After weighing all the positive and negative evidence, we determined that it is more likely than not that Brazil and the Netherlands deferred tax assets may not be realized. As a result, we recorded non-cash charges of $10 million and $34 million to tax expense for Brazil and the Netherlands, respectively.

The net deferred tax assets reflected in the above table include deferred tax assets related to grantor trusts, which were established as Tronox Incorporated emerged from bankruptcy during 2011. The balances relate to the assets contributed to such grantor trusts by Tronox Incorporated and the proceeds from the resolution of previous litigation of $5.2 billion during 2014, which resulted in additional deferred tax assets of $2.0 billion. As the grantor trusts continue to spend funds received from the litigation and earn income from the investment of those funds, the U.S. net operating loss will increase or decrease.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We continue to derecognize the total net deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom, as we cannot objectively assert that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Until these deferred tax assets are recognized, future provisions for income taxes in Australia, Brazil, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom will include no tax benefits with respect to losses incurred and tax expense only to the extent of current tax payments. Additionally, we continue to derecognized specific deferred tax assets in China, South Africa, and the United States.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent of deferred tax liabilities in a jurisdiction which has full derecognition of its total net deferred tax assets. The unrecognized deferred tax assets associated with tax losses at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1,753 million and $1,661 million, respectively, while the total unrecognized deferred tax assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1,855 million and $1,752 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2025, Tronox Holdings plc had foreign subsidiaries with undistributed earnings. Although we would not be subject to income tax on these earnings, amounts totaling $720 million could be subject to withholding tax if distributed. We have made no provision for deferred taxes for Tronox Holdings plc related to these undistributed earnings because they are in the specific jurisdictions which we assert are indefinitely reinvested outside of the parents’ taxing jurisdictions. The Company has removed its assertion that earnings in China are indefinitely reinvested, and the withholding tax accruals for potential repatriations from that jurisdiction are now reflected in the effective tax rate reconciliation above.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the United Kingdom enacted legislation consistent with guidance from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) for the implementation of Pillar Two, effective in 2024. Additionally, various jurisdictions have now implemented Domestic Minimum Taxes which are also effective for 2024. Neither the UK Multinational Top-up Tax nor any jurisdiction’s Domestic Minimum Tax have an impact on our income tax provisions for 2025.

Our exposure to financial risks is discussed in Note 6.
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognized at fair value. We hold trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measure them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Details about our impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in Note 21.
The carrying amounts of the trade receivables include receivables which are subject to a securitization facility—see Note 19.
Under this arrangement, Tronox has transferred the relevant receivables to the financial institution in exchange for cash. However, the company has retained late payment and credit risk. The company therefore continues to recognize the transferred trade receivables in their entirety in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amount repayable under the securitization arrangement is presented as secured borrowing. The Company considers that the held to collect business model remains appropriate for these receivables and hence continues measuring them at amortized cost.

In addition to the above, there was $57 million of inventory recorded as a noncurrent asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as it is not expected to be sold within one year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest Rate Risk
During the second quarter of 2019, we entered into interest-rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $750 million representing a portion of our Term Loan Facility, which effectively converted the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the loan. The agreements were to expire in September 2024.
On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to two of our existing interest rate swap agreements with the counterparty banks. As a result of these amendments, the Company terminated two of our existing interest rate swap contracts which were indexed to LIBOR with an aggregate notional value of $500 million which had maturity dates of September 2024. At the time of these amendments, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged are still probable to occur, therefore, the gains accumulated of $11 million on the interest rate swaps prior to the amendments were being amortized into interest expense through September 22, 2024, the original maturity of the interest rate swap agreements.
We simultaneously entered into two SOFR-indexed forward starting interest rate swaps with the same counterparty banks with no change to the aggregate notional value. The forward starting swaps became effective in June 2023 and will mature in March 2028 which is aligned with the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Indexing forward starting swaps to SOFR also ensured that the reference rates in our hedge instruments are now aligned with the interest rate terms of the Term Loan Facility which also changed from LIBOR to SOFR in June 2023 as a result of Reference Rate Reform and pursuant to the loan agreement. We elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to the following: 1) the assertion that the future forecasted transaction is still probable of occurring despite reference rate changes and 2) the assumption that the index of the future hedged transactions will match the index of the corresponding hedge instruments for the assessment of effectiveness.
Additionally, on March 27, 2023, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap with a $200 million notional value which matures in March 2028 and effectively converted the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility.
On May 17, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with the counterparty bank to amend the remaining $250 million notional of the three original interest rate swap contracts of $750 million aggregate notional value. As a result of this amendment, the Company changed the rate indexed in the contract from LIBOR to SOFR, effective June 30, 2023 as a result of the Reference Rate Reform and to align the index rate in this contract to that in the Term Loan Facility, as described above. This amendment did not change the notional value and the expiration date of this contract, which expired in September 2024. We completed a hedge effectiveness test as a result of this amendment and determined that this hedge instrument continues to be highly effective, enabling us to continue to apply hedge accounting over the remaining term of this hedge relationship.
As a result of Amendment No. 4 (discussed in Note 19), the Company noted that the hedged transaction associated with the interest rate swap with a notional value of $200 million (which converted the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the then outstanding term loan facility entered into in April 2022) had changed as the hedged transaction would now convert the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the 2024 Term Loan Facility. There were no amendments to the terms of the $200 million interest rate swap, including the notional value, index rate, or expiration date as a result of the amendment. However, given the change in the hedged transaction, we completed a hedge effectiveness test and determined that this hedge instrument continues to be highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows related to the hedged transaction, enabling us to continue to apply hedge accounting over the remaining term of this hedge relationship.
In line with the original maturity date, one of the interest rate swap agreements (notional value of $250 million) expired in September 2024. As a result of this, on September 26, 2024, the Company entered into two new interest-rate swap agreements for a notional of $125 million each with two counterparty banks, for an aggregate notional of $250 million. These new agreements are effective as of September 30, 2024 and will mature on September 30, 2031, in line with the maturity date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility following Amendment No.6 (discussed in Note 19). The Company has designated these two new hedges as cash flow hedges with the objective of ensuring that the Company continues to achieve the offsetting effect to the interest rate volatility associated with the $250 million portion of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility.
A-156

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, on September 26, 2024, the counterparty bank associated with one of the existing interest rate swap contracts (notional value of $250 million) novated its rights and obligations in the interest rate swap contracts to a new counterparty. No other terms and conditions of the interest rate swap contract were impacted by this transaction. We also determined that it is probable the new counterparty will perform its obligations under the interest rate swap agreements. However, following the novation, the Company terminated the existing interest rate swap agreement and simultaneously entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with the new counterparty bank with an effective date of September 30, 2024 and expiring on September 30, 2031 (in line with the maturity date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility). At the time of this change, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged are still probable to occur, therefore, the gains accumulated of $3 million on the previous interest rate swap are being amortized into interest expense through March 11, 2028, the original maturity of the previous term loan agreement. As a result of this transaction, we completed a hedge effectiveness test and determined that this hedge instrument is highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows related to the hedged transaction, enabling us to apply hedge accounting over the term of the new hedge relationship.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company maintains a total of $950 million of interest rate swaps (with $450 million maturing in March 2028 and $500 million maturing in September 2031) with the objective in using the interest-rate swap agreements to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements. These interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in Reserves and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amounts recorded in interest expense related to the interest-rate swap agreements were $8 million and $26 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net unrealized loss was less than $1 million and the unrealized gain was $26 million, respectively, and was recorded in “Reserves” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Foreign Currency Risk
From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts used to hedge forecasted third party non-functional currency sales for our South African subsidiaries. From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts used to hedge forecasted non-functional currency cost of goods sold and forecasted non-functional currency selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) for our Australian subsidiaries. These foreign currency contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.
Changes to the fair value of these foreign currency contracts are recorded as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income, if these contracts remain highly effective, and are recognized in net revenues, costs of goods sold or SG&A expenses in the period in which the forecasted transaction affects earnings or are recognized in “Other operating (expense) income, net” when the transactions are no longer probable of occurring.
As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding amounts to reduce the exposure of our Australian subsidiaries’ cost of sales and SG&A expenses to fluctuations in currency rates and no outstanding amounts to reduce the exposure of our South African subsidiaries’ third party sales to fluctuations in currency rates. At December 31, 2025, there was a net realized gain of $1 million recorded in “Reserves” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which is expected to be fully recognized in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2026.
From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts for the South African Rand, Australian Dollar, Euro, Pound Sterling and Saudi Riyal to reduce exposure of our subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts not denominated in our subsidiaries’ functional currency to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Historically, we have used forward contracts to reduce the exposure. For accounting purposes, these foreign currency contracts are not considered hedges. The change in fair value associated with these contracts is recorded in “Other operating (expense) income, net” within the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) and partially offsets the change in value of third party and intercompany-related receivables not denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiary. At December 31, 2025, there was (i) 572 million South African Rand (or approximately $35 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate), (ii) 161 million Australian

dollars (or approximately $108 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate), (iii) 213 million Pound Sterling (or approximately $286 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate), (iv) 50 million Euro (or approximately $59 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate) and (v) 83 million Saudi Riyal (or approximately $22 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate) of notional amount of outstanding foreign currency contracts.

Noncurrent borrowings
2024 Term Loan Facility
On May 1, 2024, the Company, its indirect subsidiary, Tronox Finance LLC (the “Borrower”) and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment 4”) to the senior secured first lien term loan credit facility dated as of March 11, 2021 (as amended through and including Amendment No. 4, the “Credit Agreement”) with the term lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Amendment 4 provided the Borrower with a five-year incremental term loan facility (“the 2024 Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate initial principal amount of $741 million. The 2024 Term Loan Facility was used to refinance in full the Company’s then outstanding term loan facilities entered into in April 2022 and April 2023, respectively, pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
Subject to certain customary and other exceptions, the obligations of the Borrower under the 2024 Term Loan Facility are (a) guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, and (b) secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Borrower’s and guarantors’ assets, including inventory, receivables and related assets, and equipment, equity interests in subsidiaries, and material real property, in each case subject to certain limitations and principles. The 2024 Term Loan Facility is a separate class of loans under the Credit Agreement, and if the Borrower elects to make an optional payment under the Credit Agreement or is required to make a mandatory prepayment under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, in each case, select which class or classes of loans to prepay.
The 2024 Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan Facility commencing with the second full fiscal quarter after the effective date of the 2024 Term Loan Facility. The final maturity of the 2024 Term Loan Facility will occur on April 4, 2029. The 2024 Term Loan Facility permits amendments thereto whereby individual lenders may extend the maturity date of their outstanding loans upon the Borrower’s request without the consent of any other lender, so long as certain conditions are met. The 2024 Term Loan Facility shall bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either the base rate or the SOFR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin in respect of the 2024 Term Loan Facility is 1.75% per annum for base rate loans or 2.75% per annum for SOFR rate loans.
The 2024 Term Loan Facility contains customary covenants that provide for certain restrictions with respect to, among other things and subject to certain limitations, thresholds and exceptions, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: incur indebtedness; grant liens; pay dividends and make subsidiary and certain other distributions; sell assets; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain modifications to material documents (including organizational documents). The 2024 Term Loan Facility also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default occurs under the 2024 Term Loan Facility, then a majority of the lenders through the administrative agent, may (a) declare the 2024 Term Loan Facility (and all other loans) to be immediately due and payable and/or (b) foreclose on the collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
On December 18, 2024, the Borrower, together with the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Credit Agreement (the “Repricing Amendment”). The Repricing Amendment amended the 2024 Term Loan Facility by (i) reducing the applicable rate per annum to 1.25% per annum for base rate loans or 2.25% per annum for SOFR rate loans and (ii) implementing certain mechanical and other related changes. As of December 31, 2025, the applicable margin under the 2024 Term Loan Facility was 2.25%. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total outstanding principal balance was $736 million and $741 million, respectively, of which $7 million and $6 million, respectively, is recorded within “Noncurrent borrowings due within one year” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
2024-B Term Loan Facility
On September 30, 2024, the Borrower, together with the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 6”). Amendment No. 6 provides the Borrower with a new seven-year incremental term loan facility (the “2024-B Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $902 million. The proceeds of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility

TABLE OF CONTENTS

was used to refinance in full all of the outstanding amounts of the then outstanding term loan facility entered into in March 2021 pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Borrower under the 2024-B Term Loan Facility are guaranteed and secured by the same guarantees and liens under the Credit Agreement prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 6. The 2024-B Term Loan Facility is a separate class of loans under the Credit Agreement, and if the Borrower elects to make an optional payment under the Credit Agreement or is required to make a mandatory prepayment under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, in each case, select which class or classes of loans to prepay.
The 2024-B Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the 2024-B Term Loans. The final maturity of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility will occur on September 30, 2031. The 2024-B Refinancing Facility permits amendments thereto whereby individual lenders may extend the maturity date of their outstanding loans upon the Borrower’s request without the consent of any other lender, so long as certain conditions are met. The 2024-B Term Loans bears interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either the base rate or the SOFR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin in respect of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility is 1.5% per annum for base rate loans or 2.5% per annum for SOFR rate loans. Based on our first lien net leverage ratio pursuant to the credit agreement, the applicable margin under the 2024-B Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2025 was 2.50%.
The 2024-B Term Loan Facility contains the same negative covenants applicable to the term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 6, which covenants, subject to certain limitations, thresholds and exceptions, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to (among other restrictions): incur indebtedness; grant liens; pay dividends and make subsidiary and certain other distributions; sell assets; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain modifications to material documents (including organizational documents).
The 2024-B Term Loan Facility also contains the same representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default applicable to the term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 6. If an event of default occurs under the 2024-B Term Loan Facility, then a majority of the lenders through the administrative agent, may (a) declare the 2024-B Term Loan Facility (and all other loans) to be immediately due and payable and/or (b) foreclose on the collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
As a result of this transaction, we recognized approximately $2 million in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” on the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total outstanding principal balance was $893 million and $902 million, respectively, of which $9 million is recorded within “Noncurrent borrowings due within one year” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for both periods.
Senior Notes due 2029
On March 15, 2021, Tronox Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, closed an offering of $1,075 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% senior notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”). The notes were offered at par and issued under an indenture dated as of March 15, 2021 among the Company and certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries as guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association. The Senior Notes due 2029 provide, among other thing, that the Senior Notes due 2029 are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Notes due 2029 and related guarantees are the senior obligations of the Company and the guarantors. The Senior Notes due 2029 have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration requirements. The terms of the indenture, among other things, limit, in certain circumstances, the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur secured indebtedness, incur indebtedness at a non-guarantor subsidiary, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions and merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of their assets.

Senior Secured Notes due 2030
On September 26, 2025, the Issuer also closed an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.125% senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Senior Secured Notes due 2030”). The Notes were offered at par and issued under an indenture dated as of September 26, 2025 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer and the Company and, as described below, certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries as guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association in its capacity as trustee and collateral agent.
The Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes due 2030 provide, among other things, that the Senior Secured Notes due 2030 are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Subject to certain customary and other exceptions, the Senior Secured Notes due 2030 are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Issuer’s and guarantors’ assets, including inventory, receivables and related assets, and equipment, equity interests in subsidiaries, and material real property, in each case subject to certain limitations and principles.
The Senior Secured Notes due 2030 are scheduled to mature on September 30, 2030, subject to a springing maturity date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Company’s 4.625% Senior Notes due 2029, if on such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2029 outstanding is greater than $250 million. The terms of the Indenture, among other things, limit, in certain circumstances, the ability of the Issuer and the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur secured indebtedness, incur indebtedness at a non-guarantor subsidiary, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions and merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of their assets.
RMB Term Loan Facility and RMB Revolving Credit Facility
On August 16, 2024, Tronox Minerals Sands Proprietary Limited and Tronox KZN Sands Proprietary Limited, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into Amendment No. 2 (“the Amendment”) and restatement of a credit facility with RMB, that superseded and replaced the term loan facility and revolving credit facility with Standard Bank in their entirety. The amended credit facility provides the Company with (a) a new five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of R1.1 billion (approximately $66 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate) (the “RMB Term Loan Facility”) and (b) a new three-year revolving credit facility (the “RMB Revolving Credit Facility”) providing an increase of the revolving commitments of R1.2 billion (approximately $72 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate). The maturity date on the RMB Term Loan Facility and the RMB Revolving Credit Facility is August 16, 2029 and August 16, 2027, respectively. Mandatory capital repayments of R37.5 million (approximately $2 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate) are scheduled quarterly with the first mandatory repayment starting in March 31, 2025.
Both the RMB Term Loan Facility and RMB Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest at an adjusted JIBAR rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin on the RMB Term Loan Facility is 2.35%. The applicable margin on the RMB Revolving Credit Facility is based upon average credit utilization during any interest period. If the revolving credit facility utilization is less than 33%, less than 66% but greater than 33%, or greater than 66%, the applicable margin is 1.95%, 2.10%, and 2.25%, respectively. The RMB Revolving Credit Facility requires the borrower to pay customary agency fees.
Australian Government Loan
We maintain an interest-free loan with the Australian government (“Australian Government Loan”) that is subject to renewal every 5 years and is contingent on renewal of our Australind site leases with final maturity in December 2036. The loan balance due upon maturity is AUD 6 million (approximately $4 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate). At December 31, 2025, the discounted value on the Australian Government Loan was approximately AUD 2 million (approximately $2 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate).
MGT Loan
On December 17, 2020, we completed our agreement with Cristal to acquire certain assets co-located at our Yanbu facility which produce metal grade TiCl4 (“MGT”) in exchange for a $36 million note payable. Repayment of the note payable is based on a fixed U.S. dollar per metric ton quantity of MGT delivered by

us to Advanced Metal Industries Cluster and Toho Titanium Metal Co. Ltd (ATTM) over time and therefore the ultimate maturity date is variable in nature. If ATTM fails to purchase MGT from us under certain contractually agreed upon conditions, then at our election we may terminate the MGT supply agreement with ATTM and will no longer owe any amount under the loan agreement with Cristal. We currently estimate the ultimate maturity to be between approximately five to six years, subject to actual future MGT production levels. The interest rate is based on the Saudi Arabian Interbank Offered Rate (“SAIBOR”) plus a premium. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the note payable was $13 million, of which $8 million is expected to be paid within the next twelve months (recorded within “Noncurrent borrowings due within one year” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet). Refer to Note 27 for further information on the MGT transaction.

Cash Flow Revolver
On August 15, 2024, the Borrower, together with the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement with the revolving lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Amendment No. 5 provided for a $350 million replacement revolving loan facility (the “Cash Flow Revolver”) which refinanced and replaced the Borrower’s existing $350 million revolving loan facility under the Credit Agreement initially entered in March 2021. As a result of this transaction, we recorded less than $1 million in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” on the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The obligations of the Borrower under the Cash Flow Revolver are guaranteed and secured by the same guarantees and liens under the Credit Agreement prior to the effective date of Amendment No. 5. The Cash Flow Revolver is a separate class of loans under the Credit Agreement.
The maturity date of the Cash Flow Revolver will occur on the earlier of (a) August 15, 2029 and (b) the Springing Maturity Date. The Springing Maturity Date is defined under the Credit Agreement as the earlier of the date that is 91 days prior to (i) the scheduled maturity date of the 2024 Term Loan Facility if on such date the outstanding amount of the term loans under the 2024 Term Loan Facility is greater than $200 million, (ii) the stated maturity date of the Senior Unsecured 2029 if on such date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured 2029 Notes is greater than $200 million, and (iii) the stated maturity date of certain debt-for-borrowed money (excluding debt issued under the Borrower’s inside maturity date basket and certain other debt baskets under the Credit Agreement) incurred after the date of Amendment No. 5 if on such date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such debt-for-borrowed money is greater than $200 million.
The Cash Flow Revolver bears interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either the base rate or the SOFR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin in respect of the Cash Flow Revolver shall be determined based on the Borrower’s first lien net leverage ratio as of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter and shall range from 1.25% to 0.75% per annum for base rate loans or 2.25% to 1.75% per annum for SOFR rate loans. As of December 31, 2025, the applicable margin on the Cash Flow Revolver was 2.25%.
A-162

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Cash Flow Revolver contains substantially the same negative covenants applicable to the previous cash flow revolving credit facility, which covenants, subject to certain limitations, thresholds and exceptions, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to (among other restrictions): incur indebtedness; grant liens; pay dividends and make subsidiary and certain other distributions; sell assets; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain modifications to material documents (including organizational documents). The Cash Flow Revolver also contains substantially the same representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default applicable to the previous cash flow revolving credit facility. If an event of default occurs under the Cash Flow Revolver, then a majority of the lenders acting through the administrative agent, may (a) declare loans under the Cash Flow Revolver (and all other loans) to be immediately due and payable and/or (b) foreclose on the collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a springing financial covenant solely for the benefit of the revolving lenders of the Cash Flow Revolver under the Credit Agreement. The springing financial covenant requires compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of not greater than 4.75x (measuring the ratio of Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) if, on the last day of any fiscal quarter, revolving exposure (excluding undrawn or cash collateralized letters of credit) exceeds 35% of the aggregate principal amount of all revolving commitments under the Cash Flow Revolver.
Debt issuance costs associated with the Cash Flow Revolver of $2 million were included in “Other noncurrent assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at both December 31, 2025 and 2024, and were amortized over the life of the Cash Flow Revolver. The average effective interest rate on the Cash Flow Revolver was 7.6% and 6.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Additionally, there is $18 million of issued and undrawn letters of credit under the Cash Flow Revolver as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, the undrawn letter of credit that was issued as a bi-lateral, stand-alone arrangement in connection with the sale of the Hawkins Point Plant (see Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies) had an outstanding balance of $47 million as of December 31, 2025.
RMB Revolving Credit Facility
For a description of the RMB Revolving Credit Facility, see details above under “RMB Term Loan Facility and RMB Revolving Credit Facility”.
Emirates Revolver
In July 2025, Tronox Pigment UK Limited, as borrower, and Tronox Holdings plc, as guarantor, entered into a new revolving credit facility with Emirates which replaced the previous revolving credit facility with Emirates that expired in July 2025. The new Emirates revolving credit facility is secured by inventory of Tronox Pigment UK Limited and has a termination date of June 2026. The facility limit is 50 million Pound Sterling (approximately $67 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate) and can be drawn in either Pound Sterling, Euro or US Dollar. Under the terms of the revolver, the interest rate is SOFR plus 1.75% for U.S. dollar borrowings, Euribor plus 1.75% for Euro borrowings, and SONIA plus 1.75% for Pound Sterling borrowings. The average effective interest rate and applicable margin on the Emirates Revolver was 6.8% and 1.75%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025.
SEB Credit Facility
On April 29, 2025, our KSA subsidiary entered into a short-term working capital facility with Saudi Export Import Bank (“SEB Credit Facility”) for an amount up to SAR 150 million (approximately $40 million). The maturity date under the facility is February 28, 2026. The SEB Credit Facility bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.88% on outstanding balances. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we drew down the total SAR 150 million (approximately $40 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate) for general corporate purposes which is recorded in “Current borrowings” on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The average effective interest rate on the SEB Credit Facility was 4.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025.
SABB Credit Facility
On October 16, 2019, our KSA subsidiary entered into a short-term working capital facility with the Saudi British Bank (“SABB Credit Facility”) for an amount up to SAR 70 million (approximately $19 million). The SABB

Credit Facility bears interest at the Saudi Inter Bank Offered Rate plus 180 basis points on outstanding balances. In November 2023, the Company amended the agreement which amongst other things, extended the maturity date of the SABB Credit Facility from November 30, 2023 to November 30, 2024 and increased the facility limit to SAR 75 million (approximately $20 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate). In December 2024, the Company amended the agreement to extend the maturity date of the SABB Credit Facility to December 2025. The facility limit was reduced from SAR 75 million (approximately $20 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate) to SAR 45 million (approximately $12 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate). The SABB Credit Facility expired during 2025.
Itaù Unibanco S.A. Credit Facility
In November 2022, our Brazilian subsidiary entered into a working capital facility with Itaù Unibanco S.A. in Brazil for an amount up to 30 million BRL (approximately $5 million at the December 31, 2025 exchange rate). There is no maturity date under this facility until written notice is given. The facility bears interest at the Bolsa do Brasil reference rate on outstanding balances. There is no borrowing outstanding under this facility at December 31, 2025.
Insurance premium financing
In August 2024, the Company entered into a $29 million insurance premium financing agreement with a third-party financing company. The financing balance required a 37% down payment and was repaid in monthly installments over 9 months at an 8.6% fixed annual interest rate.
In May 2025, the Company entered into a $1 million insurance premium financing arrangement in one of our Australian subsidiaries with a third-party financing company. The financing balance is repaid in monthly installments over 10 months at a 6.4% fixed annual interest rate.
In August 2025, the Company entered into a $30 million insurance premium financing agreement with a third-party financing company. The financing balance required a 35% down payment and will be repaid in monthly installments over 8 months at an 8.0% fixed annual interest rate.

Environmental Rehabilitation Scheme
In accordance with applicable regulations, we have established an environmental rehabilitation scheme for the prospecting and mining operations in South Africa, which receives, holds, and invests funds for the rehabilitation or management of asset retirement obligations. At December 31, 2025 and 2024 the total value of the assets held in, the environmental rehabilitation trust scheme were $19 million and $16 million, respectively, which were recorded in Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Worker’s Compensation and General Auto – We are self-insured for certain levels of general and vehicle liability, property, workers’ compensation and health care coverage. The cost of these self-insurance programs is accrued based upon estimated fully developed settlements for known and anticipated claims. Any resulting adjustments to previously recorded reserves are reflected in current operating results. We do not accrue for general or unspecified business risks.

Restructuring and Other Charges
Botlek closure
In March 2025, Tronox announced that it informed its Netherlands’ labor force that it proposed to idle its 90,000 metric ton per year TiO2 plant in the Netherlands indefinitely, as a result of a strategic review it undertook of the Company’s global asset footprint. The Company believed this decision would optimize its global production footprint and improve its capacity utilizations. Approximately 240 employees were impacted by the action. As a result of this decision, the Company expects to record total restructuring and other related charges of approximately $184 million, approximately $79 million of which is expected to be related to non-cash items, arising from idling site operations which is currently expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, Tronox incurred $177 million of charges, of which $75 million were non-cash. These charges included $27 million in severance and employee separation benefits charges, $54 million for activities associated with idling of site operations, $11 million associated with asset retirement obligation adjustments, and $10 million of contract early termination charges. Tronox expects to incur incremental expenses associated with these items through the first half of 2026 as severance and employee benefit obligations become due, site idling activities occur and contracts are terminated.
In addition, the Company has recorded a non-cash charge of $75 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily associated with asset write-downs and accelerated depreciation associated with assets which are not redeployable to other locations of the Company. Assets at the site will continue to be evaluated for redeployment to other locations throughout the idling process which could result in changes to the amount of asset write-downs and accelerated depreciation.
Fuzhou closure
Subsequent to the Botlek plant closure, the Company continued to review its global pigment plant portfolio and ultimately in January 2026, announced its permanent closure of its 46,000 metric ton per year TiO2 plant in Fuzhou, China. The closure reflects ongoing weak Chinese domestic demand and increasing costs plus continued excess Chinese TiO2 production. This action was a result of a strategic review it undertook of the Company’s global asset footprint. The Company believes this decision will optimize its global production footprint and improve its capacity utilizations. This action is expected to impact approximately 550 employees located at the site. As a result of this decision, the Company expects to record total restructuring and other related charges of approximately $60-80 million, $35-45 million of which is expected to be related to non-cash items, arising from idling site operations which is currently expected to be completed in 2026.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, Tronox incurred $50 million of charges, of which $39 million were non-cash related to the Fuzhou closure. These charges included $8 million associated with environmental obligation adjustments and $2 million of contract early termination charges. Tronox expects to incur incremental expenses associated with these items through the end of 2026 as severance and employee benefit obligations become due, site idling activities occur and contracts are terminated.
In addition, the Company has recorded a non-cash charge of $39 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily associated with asset write-downs and accelerated depreciation associated with assets which are not redeployable to other locations of the Company.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement, and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized with respect to each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 3.
Impairment of financial assets
We have two types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:
trade receivables from sales of products; and
other receivables-related party.
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, we do not expect any credit losses based on consideration of our historical experience.
We apply the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. We have concluded that the lifetime expected losses on trade receivable under the new expected loss model approximates the allowance for credit losses estimated under our current method. This conclusion was based on historical payment profile of sales over the last three years. We do not expect this profile to change as our business model and our customer profile is not expected to change significantly in the foreseeable future.
Our other receivables-related party are considered to have low credit risk, and therefore we concluded there were no expected losses to record during the year ended December 31, 2025. Our counterparty has the ability to meet its contractual cash flow obligations based on many years of actual experience with this counterparty and therefore, we do not expect any credit exposure under this transaction.

Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase and Capital Commitments—At December 31, 2025, purchase commitments were $349 million for 2026, $313 million for 2027, $179 million for 2028, $145 million for 2029, $197 million for 2030, and $2,278 million thereafter.
Letters of Credit—At December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $155 million, of which $65 million were letters of credit (inclusive of $47 million related to the sale of Hawkins Point as discussed below) and $90 million were bank guarantees. Amounts for performance bonds were not material.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Environmental Matters— It is our policy to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on our best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to complete the remedial work. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional technical, regulatory or legal information becomes available. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our recorded liabilities. We expect to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flows. The timing of cash expenditures depends principally on the timing of remedial investigations and feasibility studies, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties. Included in these environmental matters are the following:
Hawkins Point Plant. Residual waste mud, known as Batch Attack Mud, and a spent sulfuric waste stream were deposited in an onsite repository (the “Batch Attack Lagoon”) at a former TiO2 manufacturing site, Hawkins Point Plant in Baltimore, Maryland, operated by Cristal USA, Inc. from 1954 until 2011. We assumed responsibility for remediation of the Hawkins Point Plant when we acquired the TiO2 business of Cristal in April 2019. On December 21, 2022, we sold the Hawkins Point Plant to the Maryland Port Administration (“MPA”), a state agency controlled by the Maryland Department of Transportation. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, MPA became the lead party in developing and implementing appropriate measures to address, treat, control, and mitigate the environmental conditions at the property under the regulatory oversight of the Maryland Department of the Environment (“MPE”). Under MPA ownership, the Hawkins Point Plant will be utilized for storage and beneficial reuse of dredged material from the Port of Baltimore. In exchange for transferring ownership of the site to MPA, Tronox has agreed to make scheduled, annual payments to MPA which together with scheduled, annual contributions from MPA will be used to remediate the property. The sale of the property to MPA did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Profit or (Loss). As of December 31, 2025, we have a provision of $41 million, of which $26 million and $15 million is included in “Noncurrent provisions” and “Current provisions”, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet for the Hawkins Point Plant consistent with the accounting policy described above.
Other Matters— We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, prior acquisitions and divestitures, including our acquisition of Cristal, employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Included in these other matters is the following:
On September 3, 2025, a putative class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut against the Company and certain individual defendants. The complaint alleges that defendants violated the U.S. federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements in public filings and other public statements during the period February 12, 2025 and July 30, 2025 with respect to the Company’s financial outlook and demand for its pigment and zircon products. The case is in its very early stages. No specific amount of damages has been alleged. The Company and the individual defendants intend to defend themselves vigorously against this lawsuit.

Tronox Holdings PLC Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan
On March 27, 2019, Tronox Holdings PLC assumed the management equity incentive plan previously adopted by Tronox Limited, which plan was renamed the Tronox Holdings PLC Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan. The MEIP permits the grant of awards that are comprised of incentive options, nonqualified options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards, and other share-based awards, cash payments, and other forms as the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in its discretion deems appropriate, including any combination of the above. The maximum number of shares which were initially subjected to awards (inclusive of incentive options) was 20,781,225 ordinary shares and was increased by 8,000,000 on the affirmative vote of our shareholders on June 24, 2020, and further increased by 3,200,000 on the affirmative vote of our shareholders on May 8, 2024.
Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)
On an annual basis, the Company grants RSUs which have time and/or performance conditions. Both the time-based awards and the performance-based awards are classified as equity awards.
2025 Grants- The Company granted both time-based and performance-based awards to certain members of management. A total of 1,896,879 of time-based awards were granted to management which will vest ratably over a three-year period ending March 5, 2028. A total of 250,724 of time-based awards were granted to non-employee members of the Board which will vest in May 2026. A total of 1,497,218 of performance-based awards were granted, of which 748,609 of the awards vest based on a relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) calculation and 748,609 of the awards vest based on certain performance metrics of the Company. The non-TSR performance-based awards vest on March 5, 2028 based on the actual 2027 annual return on invested capital (ROIC). Similar to the Company’s historical TSR awards granted in prior years, the TSR awards vest based on the Company’s three-year TSR versus the peer group performance levels. Given these terms, the TSR metric is considered a market condition for which we used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the weighted average grant date fair value of $8.94.

Similar TSR awards were granted during 2024 and 2023 with grant date fair values of $21.70 and $22.42, respectively, which were calculated utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The following weighted-average assumptions were utilized to value the grants in 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Pensions and Other Postretirement Healthcare Benefits
The following provides information regarding our U.K. and foreign plans:
Pension Plans — Tronox has defined benefit commitments in the United Kingdom (“U.K. DB Scheme”). The U.K. DB Scheme is a funded qualified defined benefit plan in the United Kingdom, which is frozen with no additional benefits accruing to the participants. Benefits under the U.K. DB Scheme are generally calculated based on years of credit service and final compensation when benefits ceased to accrue as defined under the plan provisions.
Foreign Plans
Pension Plans —Tronox also has defined benefit commitments in the Saudi Arabia. We maintain a Saudi Arabia Cristal End of Service Benefit plan which provides end of service benefits to qualifying participants. End of service benefits are based on years of service and the reasons for which a participant’s services to the Company are terminated.
U.S. Plans
Pension and Postretirement Healthcare Plans— Tronox has one main U.S. defined benefit plan: the U.S. Qualified Plan. The U.S. Qualified Plan is a funded noncontributory qualified benefit plan which is in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code. We made contributions into funds managed by a third party, and those funds are held exclusively for the benefit of the plan participants. Benefits under the U.S. Qualified Plan were generally calculated based on years of service and final average pay. The U.S. Qualified Plan was frozen and closed
A-172

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to new participants on June 1, 2009. We also maintain one postretirement healthcare plan - the U.S. retiree welfare plan. In October 2022, the Company entered into a irrevocable arrangement with an insurance provider to settle certain lower dollar valued accounts within its frozen U.S. Qualified Plan to reduce PBGC premiums. As a result of this arrangement, the Company recorded a non-cash pension settlement gain of approximately $9 million during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Netherlands Collective Contribution Plan — Effective January 1, 2015, we ceased offering benefits under the former defined benefit plan to our qualifying employees in The Netherlands and replaced it with a new multiemployer plan, the collective contribution plan (“CDC plan”). Under the CDC plan, employees earn benefits based on their pensionable salaries each year determined using a career average benefit formula. The collective bargaining agreement between us and the participants requires us to contribute 19.8% of the participants’ pensionable salaries into a pooled fund administered by the industry wide Pension Fund for the Graphical Industry (“PGB”). The pensionable salary is the annual income of employees subject to a cap, which is adjusted each year to reflect the current requirements of The Netherlands’ Wages and Salaries Tax Act of 1964. Our obligation under this plan is limited to the fixed percentage contribution we make each year. The employees are entitled to any returns generated from the investment activities of the fund. We account for this plan as a defined contribution plan. Compensation expense associated with our fixed contribution to the PGB was $4 million and $5 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was primarily recorded in “Cost of Goods sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Profit or (Loss).
South Africa and Brazil Postretirement Healthcare Plan — We also maintain postretirement healthcare plans in South Africa (the “South African Plan”) and Brazil (the “Brazil Medical Plan”). The South African Plan provides medical and dental benefits to certain South African employees, retired employees and their registered dependents. The South African Plan provides benefits as follows: (i) members employed before March 1, 1994 receive 100% post-retirement and death-in-service benefits; (ii) members employed on or after March 1, 1994 but before January 1, 2002 receive 2% per year of completed service subject to a maximum of 50% post-retirement and death-in-service benefits; and, (iii) members employed on or after January 1, 2002 receive no post-retirement and death-in-service benefits. The Brazil Medical Plan provides post-employment medical benefits to employees who contributed to the medical plan while employed. Retirees receiving a benefit under the plan are required to pay a contribution that varies based on the coverage level elected.
The Company’s post-employment benefit plans are recorded in the consolidated financial statements as follows:

Discount Rate — The discount rates selected for estimation of the actuarial present value of the benefit obligations are determined based on the prevailing market rate for high-quality, fixed-income debt instruments with maturities corresponding to the expected timing of benefit payments as of the annual measurement date for each of the various plans. These rates change from year to year based on market conditions that affect corporate bond yields. Our two material pension plans comprised of our international plans: the U.S. Qualified Plan and Saudi Arabia End of Service Plan.
The 2025 and 2024 discount rates of 5.52% and 5.76%, respectively for the U.S. Qualified Plan were selected based on the results of a cash flow matching analysis, which projected the expected cash flows of the plan using a yield curve model developed from a universe of Aa-graded U.S. currency corporate bonds (obtained from Bloomberg) with BVAL score of 6 or greater. The 2025 and 2024 discount rates of 4.60% and 5.4%, respectively for the Saudi Arabia End of Service Plan were selected based on the prevailing market rate for high-quality U.S. bond yields (as the Saudi Riyal is pegged to the US dollar) adjusted for inflation differential between the US and Saudi Arabia with maturities corresponding to the expected timing of benefit payments as of the annual measurement date. This rate changes from year to year based on market conditions that affect U.S. bond yields. A 100 basis points reduction in discount rates would increase the pension obligation by approximately $19 million whereas a 100 basis point increase in discount rates would decrease the pension obligation by approximately $17 million.
While the above sensitivity analysis has been prepared based on changes in the various underlying significant actuarial assumptions that are reasonably possible to occur, the analysis assumes that the related outcomes are true if all other variables are held constant. In practice, different assumptions could vary together which could result in different outcomes than those generated in this analysis. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit plans to the significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) as used in calculating the pension obligation has been applied.
Plan Assets — The investments of the U.K. and International pension plans are managed to meet the future expected benefit liabilities of the plan over the long term by investing in diversified portfolios consistent

Defined Contribution Plans
U.S. Savings Investment Plan
In 2006, we established the U.S. Savings Investment Plan (the “SIP”), a qualified defined contribution plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the SIP, our regular full-time and part-time employees contribute a portion of their earnings, and we match these contributions up to a predefined threshold. Our matching contribution is 100% of the first 6% of employee contributions. Effective January 1, 2013, we established a profit sharing contribution at 6% of employees’ pay (“discretionary contribution”). A discretionary contribution of 6% was made for 2025 and 2024. Our matching contribution to the SIP vests immediately; however, our discretionary contribution is subject to vesting conditions that must be satisfied over a three-year vesting period. Contributions under the SIP, including our match, are invested in accordance with the investment options elected by plan participants. Compensation expenses associated with our matching contribution to the SIP was $5 million and $5 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss). Compensation expense associated with our discretionary contribution was $5 million in 2025 and $4 million in 2024, which was included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss).
U.S. Benefit Restoration Plan
In 2006, we established the U.S. Benefit Restoration Plan (the “BRP”), a nonqualified defined contribution plan, for employees whose eligible compensation is expected to exceed the IRS compensation limits for qualified plans. Under the BRP, participants can contribute up to 20% of their annual compensation and incentive. Our matching contribution under the BRP is the same as the SIP.

Related Party Transactions
Tasnee / Cristal
At December 31, 2025 Cristal International Holdings B.V. (formerly known as Cristal Inorganic Chemical Netherlands Cooperatief W.A.), a subsidiary of Tasnee, owned 37,580,000 shares of Tronox, or a 24% ownership interest.
On May 9, 2018, we entered into an Option Agreement with AMIC which is owned equally by Tasnee and Cristal. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, AMIC granted us an option (the “Option”) to acquire 90% of a special purpose vehicle (the “SPV”), to which AMIC’s ownership in a titanium slag smelter facility (the “Slagger”) in The Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries in KSA will be contributed together with $322 million of AMIC indebtedness (the “AMIC Debt”). Furthermore, pursuant to the Option Agreement we lent AMIC $125 million for capital expenditures and operational expenses intended to facilitate the start-up of the Slagger (the “Tronox Loans”).
On May 13, 2020, May 23, 2023 and February 21, 2024, we amended the Option Agreement with AMIC (the “First Amendment”, the “Second Amendment”, and the “Third Amendment”, respectively, and collectively, the “Amendments”) to establish a definitive period during which Tronox and AMIC would discuss whether, and under what circumstances Tronox may acquire the Slagger (the “Renegotiation Period”). In the Third Amendment, we extended the Renegotiation Period until December 31, 2024. Until that date, 65% of all chloride slag produced by the Slagger was delivered to Tronox as repayment in-kind of the Tronox Loans. The chloride slag was valued based on a widely published index for feedstock less a nominal discount (the “Slag Price”). Tronox purchased the remaining 35% of chloride slag produced by the Slagger in cash at the Slag Price.
The Renegotiation Period expired on December 31, 2024 without any agreement regarding whether and under what circumstances Tronox would acquire the Slagger. Then on February 11, 2025, we entered into an agreement with AMIC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Smelting Industries Co. Ltd. (“ASIC”) pursuant to which all provisions of the Option Agreement and all the related letter agreements referenced above were extinguished. This included the parties’ respective rights and obligations in and to the Option Agreement and related letter agreements and any claims arising thereunder, except for AMIC’s obligation to repay the remaining AMIC Loan balance and all interest accrued. Such final cash repayment occurred in February 2025. In addition, the parties agreed that through December 31, 2026, Tronox would purchase certain quantities of Slag from ASIC based on the Slag Price.

On December 29, 2019, we entered into an agreement (the “MGT Purchase Agreement”) with Cristal to acquire certain assets co-located at our Yanbu facility which produce metal grade TiCl4 (“MGT”). Consideration for the acquisition was the assumption by Tronox of a $36 million note payable to Cristal (the “MGT Loan”). MGT is used at a titanium “sponge” plant facility, 65% of the ownership interests of which are held by Advanced Metal Industries Cluster and Toho Titanium Metal Co. Ltd (“ATTM”), a joint venture between AMIC and Toho Titanium Company Ltd. ATTM uses the TiCl4, which we supply by pipeline, for the production of titanium sponge, a precursor material used in the production of titanium metal. The terms of our supply of TiCl4 to ATTM are set forth in the Amended and Restated TiCL4 Supply Agreement by and among ATTM, Cristal and ourselves dated December 17, 2020 (the “ARTSA”).
On December 17, 2020 we completed the MGT transaction. Repayment of the $36 million note payable is based on a fixed U.S. dollar per metric ton quantity of MGT delivered by us to ATTM over time and therefore the ultimate maturity date is variable in nature. If ATTM fails to purchase MGT from us under certain contractually agreed upon conditions set forth in the ARTSA, then at our election we may terminate the MGT supply agreement with ATTM and will no longer owe any amount under the loan agreement with Cristal. We currently estimate the ultimate maturity to be between approximately two and three years, subject to actual future MGT production levels. The interest rate on the note payable is based on the SAIBOR plus a premium. As shown in the table below, the note payable is recorded within “Borrowings, net” and “Noncurrent borrowings due within one year” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On February 11, 2025, we entered into a Settlement Deed with AMIC, Cristal and ATTM (collectively, the “AMIC Parties”), pursuant to which we resolved certain outstanding matters related to Tronox and the AMIC Parties’ performance of their respective obligations under the MGT Purchase Agreement and the ARTSA. Specifically, Cristal agreed to pay us approximately $2 million in cash in exchange for a mutual release of all claims arising prior to December 31, 2024 under the MGT Purchase Agreement and the ARTSA relating to, among other things, certain amounts related to MGT deliveries that were outstanding as of December 31, 2024. As part of the settlement, we also agreed to increase the MGT loan amount by approximately $300,000 and issue a credit note for ATTM’s benefit of approximately $500,000.

Segment Information
We operate our business under one operating segment, Tronox, which is also our reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is the CEO, reviews financial information presented at the consolidated level for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Since we operate our business under one segment, there is no difference between our consolidated results and segment results.
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by product type and geographic area as well as sales based on country of production. We believe this level of disaggregation appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors and reflects how our business is managed.
During 2025 and 2024 our ten largest third-party customers represented 36% and 37%, respectively, of our consolidated net revenues. During 2025 and 2024, no single customer accounted for 10% of our consolidated net revenues.
Net revenues to external customers based on country of production, were as follows:

Inventory Financing Arrangement
On July 29, 2025, we entered into an inventory financing arrangement whereby we agree with our counterparty to sell certain inventory, with short payment terms, and subsequently we repurchase such inventory at an agreed upon price with terms not to exceed 360 days. The agreed upon repurchase price is generally calculated as the original sale price plus financing charges and a nominal spread. As of
A-190

TABLE OF CONTENTS

December 31, 2025, we financed inventory of $50 million and we incurred $2 million of accrued interest, which were included in “Obligations under inventory financing arrangement” and “Trade and other payables”, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2025 we recorded $2 million of financing charges within “Interest and debt expense” on the Consolidated Statement of Profit or (Loss).
In January 2026, we repaid in cash our payable due to the counterparty and shortly thereafter, we entered into a new inventory financing arrangement on terms similar to those referenced above. The amount financed in this new transaction remains at $50 million.

Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation of company financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Companies Act 2006 and the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
The financial statements are prepared in U.S. Dollars ($), which is the functional and presentation currency of the company.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies and critical accounting estimates adopted are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise noted.
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the group and company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in section 408 of the Companies Act from presenting its individual profit and loss account.
Exemptions for qualifying entities under FRS 102
In accordance with FRS 102, the company has taken advantage of the exemptions from the following disclosure requirements;
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ – Presentation of a Statement of Cash Flows and related notes and disclosure
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ – Compensation for key management personnel from disclosing the company key management personnel compensation, as required by FRS 102 paragraph 33.7
from disclosing share-based payment arrangements, required under FRS 102 paragraphs 26.18(b), 26.19 to 26.21 and 26.23, concerning its own equity instruments, as the company financial statements are presented with the consolidated financial statements and the relevant disclosures are included therein.

These financial statements present information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. The consolidated financial statements of Tronox Holdings plc are presented separately within this filing.
Going concern
At the time of preparing and approving these financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at
A-194

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
least 12 months from the date of these financial statements based on the operations and activities of its subsidiaries. The company’s net asset position and its current forecasted liquidity position supports management’s going concern assumptions. The directors expect the company to continue to hold its investments in subsidiaries for the foreseeable future.
The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Investments
Investments in subsidiary are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit or loss. Annually, the Directors consider whether any events or circumstances have occurred which indicate that the carrying value of fixed investments may not be recoverable. If such circumstances do exist, a full impairment review is undertaken to establish whether the carrying amounts exceeds the recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value in use. If this is the case, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the related investment. The value in use is defined as the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived.
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. The impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities comprise amounts due to group undertakings that are repayable on demand and loans from group undertakings.
A-195

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Amounts due to group undertakings that are repayable on demand are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being transaction price less amounts settled.
Amounts due to group relating to long term loans are initially measured at transaction price and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating the interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the debt instrument to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire.
Equity instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the fair value of proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities upon board approval of the declaration on the record holding date.
Share buybacks
A share buyback is an equity instrument that has been issued and subsequently reacquired by the Company. Initially, the Company deducts the fair value of the consideration given for the shares repurchased from equity, with an associated offset to cash. A transfer relating to the shares repurchased is performed from share capital to the capital redemption reserve.
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currency) are initially recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction.
All remeasurements are taken to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash balances represent cash held with a bank. We maintain cash in bank deposit accounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The financial institutions where our cash is held are generally highly rated and we have a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk.
At 31 December 2025, we had restricted cash of $10,444,569 which represents the annual payment related to the Hawkins Point sale. Refer to Note 22 Commitments and Contingencies to the Tronox Consolidated Financial Statements.
Dividends
Dividend distributions to the Company’s shareholders are recognised as a liability in the Company’s statement of financial position in the period in which the dividends are approved.
Taxation
Current taxation is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
A-196

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the separate financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Share based payments
Equity awards are granted to members of the board and to certain members of management. Equity awards granted to Board members vest ratably over approximate one-year period and are valued at the weighted average grant date fair value. Time based equity awards granted to management vest ratably over approximately 3-year period and are valued at the weighted average grant date fair value.
Vesting of the performance-based awards is based on a relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) calculation compared to a peer group performance over the applicable three-year measurement period. The Company’s three-year TSR versus the peer group performance levels determines the payout percentage. The TSR metric is considered a market condition for which we use a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the grant date fair value.
We also have vesting of performance-based awards determined based on: 1) the actual 2026 return on invested capital Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) for awards granted in 2024 and 2) the actual 2027 annual return on invested capital ROIC for awards granted in 2025.
The share-based compensation expense for the Board members, management and company employees is recorded in the company’s statement of comprehensive income. The shared based compensation expense of subsidiary employees is recorded in the respective subsidiaries.
Related party transactions
The Company discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned within the same group. Where appropriate, transactions of a similar nature are aggregated unless, in the opinion of the directors, separate disclosure is necessary to understand the effect of the transactions on the group financial statements.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
3.
Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
Assessment of impairment of subsidiary
Consistent with our policy stated in Note 2 “Investments”, we continue to evaluate investments in subsidiary for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. As part of our impairment analysis, we make assumptions and estimates regarding future market conditions and estimation of free cash flows. To the extent actual results do not meet our estimated assumptions, we may take an impairment loss in the future. If impairment triggers are present at year end, we perform an analysis based on the fair value and/or value in use models. Fair value is generally calculated by examining the market capitalization plus a control premium acceptable for accounting purposes, which is a management estimate. We calculate value-in-use on a discounted free cash flow basis. We determined if an impairment charge is required by comparing the higher of the value-in-use and the fair value less cost to sell to the carrying amount of the investments. This assessment resulted in an impairment charge of $268,456,608, which reduced the carrying amount of the investment asset to nil as of 31 December 2025. See Note 4 - Investments for further details. The key assumptions used include control premium, discount rate and free cash flows.
A-197

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We also assessed the recoverability of the Company’s loans to group undertakings of $1,730,081,079 as of 31 December 2025. We performed a qualitative assessment to determine if objective evidence existed as of the balance sheet date to indicate that this financial asset might be impaired. This involved evaluating our history of breach of contract, such as default or delinquency with respect to interest or principal payments and assessing the debtor’s overall ability to honor its obligations by looking at historical performance, including the debtor’s financial health and concluded the financial asset is recoverable so no impairment was recorded.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4.
Investments
The carrying amount of the company’s investment in Tronox Investment Holdings Limited was nil as of 31 December 2025 (2024: $268,456,608) as a result of the impairment charge. During the current year, given the suppressed share price, we performed an impairment analysis of the investment assets in accordance with our policy. We determined the value-in-use amount based on the cash flow projections that management expects to generate covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond this period were extrapolated using a long-term growth rate. We determined that the value-in-use amount was higher than the fair value less cost to sell amount. As a result of this analysis, we wrote off the remaining $268,456,608 carrying amount of the investment asset. The impairment assessment follows FRS 102, reflecting key management judgments regarding reasonable forward projected assumptions.
Further information about subsidiaries is provided in Note 28 Interest in Subsidiaries to the Tronox Consolidated Financial Statements.

3.2 Authority and Action of the Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee to administer the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s provisions. The Committee shall have all powers and discretions necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited to, the full and final authority in its discretion to (a) determine which Eligible Individuals shall be eligible to receive Awards and to grant Awards, (b) prescribe the form, amount, timing and other terms and conditions of each Award, (c) interpret the Plan and the Award Agreements (and any other instrument relating to the Plan), (d) adopt such procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible Individuals, (e) adopt such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan, (f) interpret, amend or revoke any such procedures or rules, (g) correct any defect(s) or omission(s), or reconcile any inconsistency(ies), in the Plan and/or any Award Agreement, (h) accelerate the vesting of any Award, (i) subject to Sections 6.4 and 8.4, extend the period during which an Option or SAR may be exercisable, and (j) make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan and/or any Award Agreement or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan.
The acts of the Committee shall be acts approved in writing by all of the members of the Committee or approved by resolution of the Committee. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Subject to applicable law, each member of the Committee is entitled to rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any Employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Company’s independent certified public accountants or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan.
The Company shall effect the granting of Awards under the Plan, in accordance with the determinations made by the Committee, by execution of written agreements and/or other instruments in such form as is approved by the Committee.
3.3 Delegation by the Committee.
3.3.1 The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more Members of the Board of the Company and/or officers of the Company except for grants of Awards to persons (a) who are Non-Employee Directors or otherwise are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (b) who are, or who are reasonably expected to be, ‘covered employees’ for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority or power if prohibited by applicable law or the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed.

3.4 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board and any person designated pursuant to Section 3.3.1, shall to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Articles of Association of the Company be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any good faith action taken or good faith failure to act under the Plan or any Award Agreement, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not subject to further appeal) binding upon the person otherwise to be indemnified under this Section 3.4 determines that the acts or omissions or determinations of such person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such person’s bad faith, fraud or willful criminal act or omission. This section 3.4 does not create any right of indemnification or exclude any liability to the extent such indemnification or exclusion is prohibited by law or by the Company’s Articles of Association. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Articles of Association (or other organizational document) of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

ARTICLE IV
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the maximum number of Shares which may be the subject of Awards (inclusive of unissued Shares to which outstanding Incentive Stock Options relate) granted under the Plan shall be 31,981,225 Shares in total (the “Share Reserve”). Shares required to be delivered under the Plan may be newly issued Shares or previously issued Shares which the Company has caused to be acquired by or for the benefit of Participants (as the Committee decides from time to time). To the extent permitted by applicable law or exchange rules, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form or combination by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall not reduce the Shares available to be issued or transferred for grants of Awards under this Section 4.1. The maximum number of Shares to which Incentive Stock Options relate shall be equal to the Share Reserve. The maximum number of Shares subject to a Performance Award (which includes Options for this purpose) that may be granted to any one person in any one fiscal year is that number of Shares equal to $6,000,000 as determined on the grant date and the maximum amount that can be earned in respect of a performance award denomination in cash or value other than shares on an annualized basis is $7,500,000. For any Non-Employee Director of the Company, the aggregate Grant Date value of all Awards granted under the Plan during a calendar year may not exceed $750,000.
4.2 Lapsed Awards. To the extent that Shares subject to an outstanding Award have ceased to be deliverable to a Participant by reason of (i) expiration, cancellation, forfeiture or other termination of such Award, or (ii) the settlement of all or a portion of such Award in cash, then such Shares which have ceased to be deliverable by the Company shall not be counted toward the Share Reserve and shall again be available under this Plan; provided, however, that Shares surrendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option, Shares withheld or surrendered for payment of taxes with respect to any Award, and Shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of the exercise price of Options, shall be counted toward the Share Reserve and not be available for re-issuance under the Plan. If SARs are exercised and settled in Shares, the full number of Shares subject to the SARs shall be considered issued under the Plan, without regard to the number of Shares issued upon settlement of the SARs.
4.3 Changes in Capital Structure. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event that any special dividend or other special distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), Share bonus issue, recapitalization, subdivision, consolidation, reorganization, merger,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, change of control or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other corporate transaction or event (each a “Corporate Event”) affects the Shares (including, without limitation, a transaction under which a person (either alone or together with associates) acquires control of the Company), subject to applicable law the Board or the Committee shall make any adjustments in such manner as it, in good faith, deems equitable or appropriate, in (i) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) which may be delivered in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, without limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under this Article IV), (ii) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, and (iii) the Exercise Price or Base Price with respect to any Award, or make provision for an immediate cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in consideration for the cancellation of such Award (based on the spread).
4.3.1 If the Company enters into or is involved in any Corporate Event, subject to applicable law, the Board or the Committee shall, prior to such Corporate Event and upon such Corporate Event, take such action as it, in good faith, deems to be equitable or appropriate, which may (but need not) include replacing Awards with substitute awards in respect of the Shares, cash, other securities or other property of the surviving corporation, acquirer, ultimate parent company of the Company or any affiliate of the foregoing on such terms and conditions, as to the number of Shares, pricing and otherwise, to substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected Awards granted hereunder as of the date of the consummation of the Corporate Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if a Change in Control occurs, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cancel each Participant’s Awards immediately prior to such Change in Control and to pay to each affected Participant in connection with the cancellation of such Participant’s Awards, an amount that the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be the equivalent value of such Award (e.g., in the case of an Option or SAR, the amount of the spread), it being understood that the equivalent value of an Option or SAR with an exercise price greater than or equal to the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares shall be zero.
4.3.2 Upon receipt by any affected Participant of any such substitute awards (or payment) as a result of any such Corporate Event, such Participant’s affected Awards for which such substitute awards (or payment) were received shall be thereupon cancelled without the need for obtaining the consent of any such affected Participant. Any actions or determinations of the Committee under this Section 4.3 need not be uniform as to all outstanding Awards, nor treat all Participants identically.
4.3.3 Nothing in this Section 4.3 requires the Board or the Committee to do or procure anything which is not within its power or control to do or procure or which would involve the Board or Committee (or any member thereof) breaching a duty owed to the Company.
4.4 Minimum Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, any Shares which are delivered under this Plan, must not be delivered for consideration that is less than as permitted under applicable law.
ARTICLE V
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AWARDS
5.1 Awards Under the Plan. Awards under the Plan may be in the form of Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Share Options, Share Appreciation Rights, Restricted Share, Restricted Share Units, Performance Awards and Other Share-Based Awards, cash payments and such other forms as the Committee in its discretion deems appropriate, including any combination of the above. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan nor shall any right be exercised under the Plan with respect to a fractional Share. If (but for this Section) a Participant would become entitled to be delivered a number of Shares that is not a whole number, the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled to be delivered shall not include the fraction.
5.2 General Eligibility. All Eligible Individuals are eligible to be granted Awards, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan. Eligibility for the grant of Awards and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
E-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

5.3 Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only Employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its parent (if any) are eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options under this Plan. Eligibility for the grant of an Incentive Stock Option and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
5.4 Participation. No person shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award. The Committee’s determination under the Plan (including, without limitation, determination of the eligible Employees who shall be granted Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of Awards and the Award Agreements and the establishment of Performance Goals) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among eligible Employees who receive or are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, whether or not such eligible Employees are similarly situated.
5.5 Conditions and Restrictions on Shares. Each Participant to whom an Award is made under the Plan shall (i) enter into an Award Agreement with the Company that shall contain such provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be approved by the Committee and (ii) to the extent the Award is made at a time prior to the date Shares are listed for trading on an established securities exchange, enter into a “Stockholder’s Agreement” that is substantially similar in all material respect to any stockholder’s agreement entered into by any other employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Award of any equity-based compensation. Each Award made hereunder shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such Award upon any securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the exercise or settlement of such Award or the delivery of Shares thereunder, such Award shall not be exercised or settled and such Shares shall not be delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company may require that certificates evidencing Shares delivered pursuant to any Award made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is prohibited except in compliance with the Securities Act. Finally, no Shares shall be delivered under the Plan, unless the delivery of those Shares shall comply with all relevant regulations and any registration, approval or action thereunder and the person to whom they are to be delivered has agreed to become a member of the Company and be bound by its Articles of Association.
5.6 Clawback/Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Award Agreement may provide that the Committee may in its sole discretion cancel such Award, in whole or in part, if the Participant, without the consent of the Company, while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate or after termination of such employment or service, violates a non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure covenant or agreement or otherwise engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interest of the Company or any Affiliate, including fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may also provide in an Award Agreement that if the Participant engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence, the Participant will forfeit any gain realized on the vesting or exercise of such Award, and must repay the gain to the Company. In the case of an Award of Restricted Shares that is cancelled pursuant to this Section 5.6, the Committee may determine that the Restricted Shares are forfeited, in which case the provisions of Section 7.4 shall apply in respect of such forfeited Shares. Furthermore, to the extent required by applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange in which the Shares are listed, or if so required pursuant to a written policy adopted by the Company, and in accordance with the Company’s incentive clawback policy, originally adopted January 25, 2013 as in effect from time to time, Awards are and shall continue to be subject to clawback, forfeiture or similar requirements.
5.7 Restrictions on Transfer. It shall be a condition of every Award that no Participant shall offer (or permit or cause to be offered) any Shares that are delivered to him or her pursuant to the Award for sale within 12 months of their issue, unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise

ARTICLE VI
SHARE OPTIONS
6.1 Grant of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants at such times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. An Award of Options may include Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Share Options, or a combination thereof; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock
Option may only be granted to an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted more than ten years after the earlier of (i) the Effective Date or (ii) the date this Plan is approved by the Company’s shareholders.
6.2 Award Agreement. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, any conditions to the exercise of all or a portion of the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The Award Agreement pertaining to an Option shall designate such Option as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Share Option. Notwithstanding any such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary as defined in Section 424 of the Code) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall constitute Non-Qualified Share Options. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they are granted.
6.3 Exercise Price. Subject to the other provisions of this Section, the Exercise Price with respect to Shares subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, provided; however; that the Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than 100% (or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Holder, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.
6.4 Expiration Dates. Each Option shall terminate not later than the expiration date specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to such Option; provided, however, that the expiration date with respect to an Option shall not be later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its Grant Date and the expiration date with respect to an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Holder shall not be later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of its Grant Date.
6.5 Exercisability of Options. Subject to Section 6.4, Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times, and shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. The exercise of an Option is contingent upon payment by the optionee of the amount sufficient to pay all taxes required to be withheld by any governmental agency. Such payment may be in any form approved by the Committee.
6.6 Method of Exercise. Options shall be exercised in whole or in part by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the General Counsel or Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee) setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price with respect to each such Share and an amount sufficient to pay all taxes required to be withheld by any governmental agency. The Exercise Price shall be payable to the Company in full in cash or its equivalent and no Shares resulting from the exercise of an Option shall be issued until full payment therefore has been made. The Committee, in its sole discretion, also may permit exercise by any other means which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to both provide legal consideration for the Shares, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan (including, without limitation, a cashless exercise whereby the Company does not deliver that number of Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Options being exercised). As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, the Company shall deliver to the Participant Share certificates (or the equivalent if such Shares are held in book entry form) for such Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.
6.7 Restrictions on Share Transferability. Incentive Stock Options are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent. The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant
E-10

to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, restrictions related to applicable federal securities laws, the requirements of any national securities exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded, or any blue sky or state securities laws.
6.8 RESERVED
6.9 RESERVED
6.10 Incentive Stock Options. Should any Option granted under this Plan be designated an “Incentive Stock Option,” but fail, for any reason, to meet the requirements of the Code for such a designation, then such Option shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Share Option and shall be valid as such according to its terms.
6.11 Prohibition on Repricing. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, other than as may be permitted pursuant to Section 4.3, the Committee shall not without the approval of the Company’s shareholders (a) lower the Exercise Price of an Option after it is granted, (b) cancel an Option when the Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of one Share in exchange for cash or another Award (other than in connection with a Change in Control), or (c) take any other action with respect to an Option that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed.

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Share Awards may be granted to such Participants at such times, and subject to such terms and conditions, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Share Awards may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan.
7.2 Share Award Agreement. Each Share Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of Shares granted, the price, if any, to be paid for the Shares and the Period of Restriction applicable to a Restricted Share Award or RSU Award and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine including, without limitation, that an RSU Award may be settled in cash or a combination of cash and Shares.
7.3 Acceptance. Awards of Restricted Shares must be accepted within a period of thirty (30) days (or such other period as the Committee may specify) after the grant date, by executing a Restricted Share Award Agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the Committee has designated thereunder.
7.4 Transferability/Share Certificates/Forfeiture.
7.4.1 Restricted Shares may not be sold, Transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated during the Period of Restriction. During the Period of Restriction, a Restricted Share Award may bear a legend as described in Section 7.5.2. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Restricted Shares shall be delivered to and held by the relevant Participant for the applicable Period of Restriction and such Participant shall be and remain the beneficial owner of each such Restricted Share.
7.4.2 The Committee may impose such requirements and implement such arrangements as it considers necessary or desirable for the purpose of securing compliance by the Participant with the terms of an Award of Restricted Shares and the Plan (including this Section 7.4). Such requirements and arrangements may include, without limitation, a requirement that the Participant deliver to the Company (or its nominee) any Share certificate relating to the Restricted Shares and a blank transfer of the Restricted Shares duly executed by the Participant (as transferor).
7.4.3 In the event that an Award of Restricted Shares is forfeited in whole or part, the Company shall be entitled, at its election at any time thereafter, to do any of the following:
(a) to require the Participant to transfer the forfeited Shares to any person nominated by the Company including, without limitation:
(i) an Eligible Individual for or in connection with an Award made to such Eligible Individual; or
(ii) a broker instructed to sell the Shares on a securities exchange at the then prevailing market price for Shares (or any other price acceptable to the Committee);
E-11

(b) to require the Participant to sell the forfeited Shares (or cause them to be sold):
(i) to any person nominated by the Company at such price and on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Committee decides; or
(ii) on any securities exchange at the then prevailing market price for Shares (or any other price acceptable to the Committee);
(c) (subject to applicable law) to buy-back the forfeited Shares from the Participant for a total purchase price of $1.00 (that is, $1.00 for all the forfeited Shares of the Participant irrespective of the number of Shares that are bought back from the Participant).
7.4.4 The Participant must do any act that Company may reasonably require to give effect to an election made by the Company under Section 7.4.3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the acts may include sign or give any direction, instruction, share transfer or other document to any person.
7.4.5 Where the Company requires the Participant to transfer the Shares or to sell the Shares (or cause them to be sold) under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of Section 7.4.3, the Participant shall be obliged to pay to the Company an amount equal to the consideration (if any) received upon such transfer or sale (or, in the case of non-cash consideration, the value of such consideration as reasonably determined by the Company) immediately upon receipt of the consideration. Without limiting Section 7.4.4, the Company may require the Participant to direct that the transferee or purchaser pay or deliver any consideration to which the Participant is entitled under the transfer or sale to the Company (or as the Company directs). If any consideration is received by the Company (in any capacity) upon a transfer or sale of forfeited Shares of a Participant, the Company shall be entitled to retain that consideration for its own benefit and shall not be required to account to the Participant for it.
7.4.6 The Company is authorized under the Plan by each Participant to do, and to appoint any person who is a director, secretary, general counsel or employee of the Company to do, for and on behalf of and in the name of any Participant to whom an Award of Restricted Shares is made, any act which the Committee considers that the Participant is required to do under the Plan (including, without limitation, under Section 7.4.3 or Section 7.4.4) or the terms of an Award of Restricted Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the acts may include sign or give any direction, instruction, share transfer or other document to any person for and on behalf of and in the name of the Participant. A Participant may not revoke this authority.
7.5 Other Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Shares as it may deem advisable or appropriate.
7.5.1 General Restrictions. The Committee may set restrictions based upon applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion.
7.5.2 Legend on Certificates. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may legend the certificates representing Restricted Shares during the Period of Restriction to give appropriate notice of such restrictions. For example, the Committee may determine that some or all certificates representing Restricted Shares shall bear the following legend: “The sale or other transfer of the shares of Shares represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Tronox Holdings plc Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and in a Restricted Share Award Agreement (as defined by the Plan). A copy of the Plan and such Restricted Share Award Agreement may be obtained from the General Counsel or Secretary of Tronox Holdings plc.”
7.5.3 Removal of Restrictions. Upon the termination or expiry of the Period of Restriction applicable to Restricted Shares, subject to the Company’s right to require payment of any taxes, the Shares shall cease to be liable to be forfeited by the Participant and the restrictions in Section 7.4 shall cease to apply (“Released Shares”). Upon delivery to the Company of any Share certificate relating to Released Shares bearing a legend as referred to in Section 7.5.2, the Company shall cancel such certificate and deliver to the Participant a new certificate for the Released Shares that does not bear such a legend (unless no such certificate is required to be delivered under applicable law).

7.5.4 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Restricted Shares may exercise full voting rights attaching to the Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. However, if an award of Restricted Shares is forfeited, the Participant must not cast a vote attaching to any of the forfeited Shares (or appoint a proxy or attorney to do so).
7.5.5 Dividends and Other Distributions.
(a) a Participant shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid on Restricted Shares held by him or her provided, that any such dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying Share Awards and shall be accumulated and paid only at the time the Share Award becomes vested. In the case of a distribution paid other than in cash, the relevant amount shall be the value of the property distributed as at the date of the distribution, as determined by the Committee;
(b) in the case of an Share Award of RSUs, if and when the RSUs vest and cease to be liable to be forfeited, the Company shall make a Dividend Equivalent Payment to the Participant. For this purpose, a “Dividend Equivalent Payment” is an amount equal to the amount of cash dividends and other distributions that would have been paid to the Participant during the period commencing on the date of grant of the Share Award and ending on the date that is one business day before the date on which Participant is delivered the Shares pursuant to the RSU Award or the RSU Award is settled in cash (as the case may be) as if, for each RSU that has vested, a Share had been delivered to the Participant on the date of grant instead of an RSU; and
(c) for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to contrary, cash dividends, stock and any other property (other than cash) distributed as a dividend, Dividend Equivalent Payment or otherwise with respect to any Award that vests based on achievement of performance goals shall either (i) not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated, subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Award with respect to which such cash, stock or other property has been distributed and shall be paid at the time such restrictions and risk of forfeiture lapse.
7.5.6 Consolidations/Subdivisions/Bonus Issues. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Committee determining otherwise pursuant to Section 4.3 and to the terms of any Award Agreement, if there is a consolidation of Shares or a subdivision of Shares, or a pro rata bonus issue of Shares or other securities by the Company, the Restricted Shares of each Participant shall as from the effective date of such consolidation, subdivision or bonus issue be:
(a) in the case of a consolidation or subdivision, the smaller or greater number of Shares (as the case may be) resulting from the consolidation or subdivision of the Restricted Shares of the Participant held immediately before the effective date of the consolidation or subdivision; and
(b) in the case of a pro rata bonus issue, the Shares comprising the Restricted Shares of the Participant and the bonus Shares or other securities issued to the Participant in relation to the Restricted Shares of the Participant held immediately before the record date for the pro rata bonus issue.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

8.3 SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Base Price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine.
8.4 Expiration Dates. Each SAR shall terminate no later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its Grant Date; provided, however, that the expiration date with respect to a tandem SAR shall not be later than the expiration date of the related Option.
8.5 Exercisability.
8.5.1 Method of Exercise. Unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to a SAR, a SAR may be exercised (a) by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the General Counsel or Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee) setting forth the number of whole SARs which are being exercised, (b) in the case of a tandem SAR, by surrendering to the Company any Options which are cancelled by reason of the exercise of such SAR, and (c) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request.
8.5.2 Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs (i.e., SARs issued in tandem with Options) shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. The related Options which have been surrendered by the exercise of a tandem SAR, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related tandem SARs have been exercised.
8.5.3 Discretionary Limitations. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any such right is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that it is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such right may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.
8.6 Payment. Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, upon exercise of a SAR, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: (i) the amount by which the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the Base Price specified in the Award Agreement pertaining to such SAR by (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
8.7 Payment Upon Exercise of SAR. Payment to a Participant upon the exercise of the SAR shall be made, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, either (a) in cash, (b) in newly issued Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the payment or (c) in a combination thereof, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
8.8 Prohibition on Repricing. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, other than as may be permitted pursuant to Section 4.3, the Committee shall not without the approval of the Company’s shareholders (a) lower the Base Price of an SAR after it is granted, (b) cancel a SAR when the Base Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of one Share in exchange for cash or another Award (other than in connection with a Change in Control) or (c) take any other action with respect to an SAR that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed.

CHANGE IN CONTROL
12.1 Treatment of Awards in connection with a Change in Control. Unless provided otherwise by the Committee (as constituted prior to a Change in Control) in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as provided in an employment agreement or similar agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Participant, in the event of a Change in Control:
12.1.1. Any Options and Share Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred shall be assumed by the successor (or its parent company) or cancelled in exchange for substitute options or share appreciation rights issued by the successor (or its parent company) in a manner consistent with the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) (or any

successor regulation) in the case of a Non-Qualified Share Option, and Treas. Reg. §1.424-1(a) (or any successor regulation) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option and, if, during the 24-month period following the Change in Control date, the Participant’s employment is terminated by such successor (or an affiliate) without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, such Awards, to the extent then outstanding, shall fully vest and become exercisable. To the extent Options and Share Appreciation Rights that are outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control are not assumed or substituted, the Award shall, as determined by the Committee, (A) immediately become fully exercisable and vested to the full extent of the original grant, or (B) be cancelled in exchange for cash and/or other substitute consideration (if any) with respect to each Share subject to the Award as of the Change in Control date equal in value to the excess (if any) of (I) the per-Share value, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the Company’s shareholders as a result of the transaction over (II) if applicable, the per-Share Exercise Price or Base Price of the applicable Award. If the value of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a Share as a result of the transaction does not exceed the per-Share Exercise Price or Base Price of the Award, the Award may be cancelled without providing any cash or other consideration to the Participant with respect to such Award.
12.1.2 Any Performance Awards outstanding as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred shall be converted into, as applicable, time-based restricted stock of the successor (or its parent company) or time-based restricted stock units based on stock of the successor (or its parent company) and, if, during the 24-month period following the Change in Control date, the Participant’s employment is terminated by such successor (or an affiliate) without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, such Awards, to the extent then outstanding, shall fully vest. With respect to Performance Awards that are outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control and are not converted to a time-based Award, any deferral or other restriction shall lapse and such Performance Awards shall be settled in cash as promptly as is practicable (unless otherwise required by Section 409A of the Code and the applicable terms of the Performance Awards). In either case, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in an Award Agreement or otherwise, the value of the Performance Awards as of the date of the Change in Control shall be determined assuming target performance has been achieved, except that the value shall be determined based on actual performance as of such date if (A) more than half of the performance period has elapsed as of such date and (B) actual performance is determinable as of such date.
12.1.3 Any other Share Awards and cash Awards outstanding as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred shall be assumed by the successor (or its parent company) or cancelled in exchange for comparable awards issued by the successor (or its parent company), and, if, during the 24-month period following the Change in Control date, the Participant’s employment is terminated by such successor (or an affiliate) without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, such Awards, to the extent then outstanding, shall fully vest. With respect to such Awards that are outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control and are not assumed or substituted, any deferral or other restriction shall lapse and such Awards shall be settled in cash as promptly as is practicable (unless otherwise required by Section 409A of the Code and the applicable terms of the Awards).
12.1.4 For an Award to be validly assumed or substituted by a successor for purpose of this Section 12, it must (A) provide such Participant with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions applicable under such Award, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise or vesting schedules; (B) have substantially equivalent value to such Award (determined at the time of the Change in Control); and (C) be based on stock that is listed and traded on an established U.S. securities market or an established securities market outside the United Stated upon which the Participants could readily trade the stock without administrative burdens or complexities.

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND DURATION
13.1 Amendment, Suspension or Termination. The Board, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason, subject to any requirement of shareholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, Section 422 of the Code, and the rules of the applicable securities exchange; provided, however, unless prohibited by
E-18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

applicable law, the Board may amend the Plan and any Award Agreement without shareholder approval as necessary to avoid the imposition of any taxes under Section 409A of the Code. Subject to the preceding sentence, the amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, materially adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to such Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, amend or modify any Award to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code. The Company intends to administer the Plan and all Awards granted thereunder in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A, however, the Company shall not be responsible for any additional tax imposed pursuant to Code Section 409A, nor will the Company indemnify or otherwise reimburse Participant for any liability incurred as a result of Code Section 409A. No Award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan.
13.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall, subject to Section 13.1, terminate ten (10) years after the date that the Plan is approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, unless earlier terminated by the Board and no further Awards shall be granted under the Plan. The termination of the Plan shall not affect any Awards granted prior to the termination of the Plan.
ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS
14.1 No Effect on Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without cause.
14.2 Unfunded Status. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing set forth herein shall give any Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.
14.3 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.
14.4 Beneficiary Designations. Subject to the restrictions in Section 14.5 below, a Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. For purposes of this Section, a beneficiary may include a designated trust having as its primary beneficiary a family member of a Participant. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation or such designation being effective under applicable law, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of the Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any unexercised vested Award may be exercised by the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate.
14.5 Nontransferability of Awards. No Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that except as provided by in the relevant Award Agreement or as prohibited by applicable law, a Participant may (with the prior approval of the Committee) transfer, without consideration, an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option to one or more members of his or her Immediate Family, to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of one or more members of his or her Immediate Family, to a partnership in which all the partners are members of his or her Immediate Family, or to a limited liability company in which all the members are members of his or her Immediate Family; provided, further, that any such Immediate Family, and any such trust, partnership and limited liability company, shall agree to be and shall be bound by
