Tronox (NYSE: TROX) details 2026 AGM agenda, cost cuts and ESG goals
Tronox Holdings plc is asking shareholders to vote at its April 28, 2026 annual meeting in London on board elections, pay practices, auditors, capital authorities and an equity plan amendment. Eight directors are up for separate election, with a majority-independent board and a split chair/CEO structure.
The agenda includes say-on-pay, multiple U.K.-style votes on directors’ remuneration, re-appointment and fees for PwC in both U.S. and U.K. roles, authorization to allot shares and to do so without pre-emption rights, approval of share repurchase contracts, and an increase in authorized shares under the management equity incentive plan.
The proxy also highlights a difficult 2025 demand environment for TiO2 and zircon, over $90 million of annualized savings from a Sustainable Cost Improvement Program, a $400 million senior secured bond offering, a 60% dividend reduction to preserve flexibility, and temporary shutdowns or idling of several facilities. Tronox emphasizes its vertically integrated model, rare earth initiatives backed by non-binding export credit support indications of up to US$600 million, strong historical say-on-pay support, and detailed ESG and climate targets, including a 27% cut in Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity versus 2019 and a goal of 50% by 2030.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• | 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. |

![]() | 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. | |
Advanced Process Control (APC) projects rolled-out to TiO2 pigment sites, with the objective of reducing the use of petroleum coke and natural gas, as well as improving operating efficiency. | |
Energy management systems introduced at key sites including energy performance indicators and targets. | |
Three of our pigment plants became ISO50001-certified covering the whole EMEA region. | |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
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. | 100% (1) | ||||||
(1) | 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. |
• | 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. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | 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. |
• | 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. |

(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. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | 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. |
• | 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. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | 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. |
• | 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. |

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. | ||||||

• | 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). |
• | 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
• | 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. |
• | 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. |

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. |

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. | ||

The TSR payout percentage will be determined using straight-line interpolation between Threshold and Target and between Target and Maximum. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | 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. |
• | 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 | ||||||||
• | 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. |

• | 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. |

(1) | 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. |

(1) | The HRCC approved the February 19, 2025 grants at its meeting on February 19, 2025. |
(2) | Amounts in these columns reflect the threshold, target and maximum payout levels for the 2025 annual incentive award. Further details regarding these awards can be found in the section titled “2025 Short-Term Incentive Plan.” |
(3) | Amounts in these columns reflect the threshold, target and maximum amount of performance-based units that were granted to the NEOs under the equity program. 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. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
(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. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | 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. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | 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. |

• | 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 |

• | 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. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | 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. |

— | 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. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
— | 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. |
— | 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 |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
— | “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. |
— | 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. |

• | Eastern Australia operations consisting of the Atlas mine and a heavy mineral concentration plant located there and a mineral separation plant located at Broken Hill, New South Wales; and |
• | Perth Basin operations in Western Australia consisting of the Wonnerup mine and a mineral separation plant. |
• | 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. |

Target* | How We’ll do it | |||||||
2030 | 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. | ||||||
TABLE OF CONTENTS
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. |

• | Qualitative Scoring methodology |

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. | ![]() | ||||||||
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. | ![]() | ||||||||

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | 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) | ||||||||

Base salary | To provide a regular source of income at reasonable, competitive levels. | Fixed annual amount, paid at regular payroll intervals in cash. Reviewed annually and adjusted if needed based on a range of factors including: company and individual performance; contribution to the organization; development in the role, experience, expertise and skills; economic and market conditions; increases for the wider workforce; and market comparison against the company’s peers. | There is no maximum salary level or increase. The HRCC will consider the factors set out under “Operation” when determining the appropriate level of base salary. | None. | No material changes | ||||||||||||
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 AIP metrics address the challenges of managing a highly complex and cyclical global business and drive and reward performance | No material changes | ||||||||||||

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. | No material changes | ||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||
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 |

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 “Operation” when determining the appropriate level of fee will be considered. | None. | No material changes. | ||||||||||||
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.

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.' |

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. |

5. | 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: |
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 | ||||||||
• | 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. |

1. | For Mr. Kaufthal the increase in fees for 2021 is primarily due to the addition of $15k per month stipend. |
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. |

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 • Audit Committee chair: $50,000 (in addition to Board annual fee) • HRCC chair: $20,000 (in addition to Board annual fee) • Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee chair: $20,000 (in addition to Board annual fee) • Audit Committee, HRCC, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee members: $15,000 (per Committee; in addition to Board annual fee; and only where not serving as chair of the Committee) 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). | ||||

• | 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. |

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. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Key audit matter | 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 | ||

- 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. | ||

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. | ||||
