Item 8.01 Other Events
In 2000, Tronox acquired its titanium dioxide
production facility in Savannah, Georgia, from Kemira
Pigments Oy, a Finnish company, and its parent, Kemira Oyj
(Kemira). After acquiring the facility, Tronox
discovered that certain matters associated with
environmental conditions and plant infrastructure were not
consistent with representations made by Kemira. On February
12, 2003, Tronox filed an arbitration claim in the London
Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) against Kemira,
alleging breach of representations and warranties. On
November 15, 2006, Tronox was notified that the LCIA
awarded Tronox approximately $8.9 million in damages and
interest.
