AMENDMENT NO. 4
TO SCHEDULE 13D

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 4 to this Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the original filing of this Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission effective as of February 3, 2014.  This Statement relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Kronos Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kronos Worldwide”).  Items 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Statement are hereby amended as set forth below.  The Reporting Persons (as defined below) are filing this amendment as a result of the death of Serena Simmons Connelly on April 22, 2020.

Item 2.
Identity and Background.

Item 2 is amended and supplemented as follows.

(a) The following entities or persons are filing this Statement (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

NLKW Holding, LLC (“NLKW”) and Valhi, Inc. (“Valhi”), as direct holders of Shares;

Contran Corporation (“Contran”), by virtue of its indirect ownership of NLKW and Valhi;

NL Industries, Inc. (“NL”) and Dixie Rice Agricultural LLC (“Dixie Rice”), by virtue of their direct or indirect ownership of NLKW and Valhi;

Lisa K. Simmons by virtue of her ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran, her position as chair of the Contran board of directors (the “Contran Board”) and as a party to the Contran Stockholders Agreement (as defined and described below); and

the Harold C. Simmons Family Trust No. 2 (the “Family Trust”), by virtue of its ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran.

By signing this Statement, each Reporting Person agrees that this Statement is filed on its or her behalf.

The following is a description of the relationships among the Reporting Persons.

Prior to April 22, 2020, a majority of Contran’s outstanding voting stock was held directly by Ms. Simmons and Serena Simmons Connelly and various family trusts established for the benefit of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly and their children and for which Ms. Simmons or Ms. Connelly, as applicable, serves as trustee (collectively, the “Other Trusts”).  The remainder of Contran’s outstanding voting stock was held by the Family Trust, for which Tolleson Private Bank serves as trustee (the “Trustee”).

Following the death of Ms. Connelly on April 22, 2020, Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust continue to directly hold their shares of Contran voting stock.  Under the terms of the Contran Corporation Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated September 9, 2019 (the “Contran Stockholders Agreement”), and with respect to the shares of Contran voting stock held directly by Ms. Connelly at the time of her death (the “Connelly Direct Shares”), the independent executor of the estate of Ms. Connelly (prior to the completion of the probate of such estate) and the legatee of the Connelly Direct Shares (following completion of the probate of such estate) is required to vote the Connelly Direct Shares in the same manner as Ms. Simmons.  Also under the terms of the Contran Stockholders Agreement, and with respect to the shares of Contran voting stock held by the Other Trusts for which Ms. Connelly previously served as trustee and for which her successor trustee is someone other than Ms. Simmons (the “Connelly Indirect Shares”), such successor trustee is also required to vote the Connelly Indirect Shares in the same manner as Ms. Simmons.  Such voting rights of Ms. Simmons with respect to the Connelly Direct Shares and the Connelly Indirect Shares last through April 22, 2030 and are personal to Ms. Simmons.  Such independent executor, legatee and successor trustee, as applicable, has the power to direct the disposition of the Connelly Direct Shares and the Connelly Indirect Shares, as applicable, subject to certain right-of-first-refusal limitations and restrictions as set forth in the Contran Stockholders Agreement.

Ms. Simmons serves as chair of the Contran Board, and one other member of Contran management also serves on the Contran Board.  The Trustee of the Family Trust has the power to vote the shares of Contran stock held by the Family Trust and to direct the disposition of such shares subject to certain right-of-first-refusal limitations and restrictions as set forth in the Contran Stockholders Agreement.  Ms. Simmons has the power to vote the shares of Contran stock she holds directly or indirectly (for the shares of Contran stock held by the Other Trusts for which she serves as trustee), and by virtue of the Contran Stockholders Agreement has the power to vote the Connelly Direct Shares and the Connelly Indirect Shares.  Ms. Simmons has the power to direct the disposition of the shares of Contran stock she holds directly or indirectly (for the shares of Contran stock held by the Other Trusts for which she serves as trustee) subject to certain right-of-first-refusal limitations and restrictions as set forth in the Contran Stockholders Agreement.

Contran is the holder of the sole membership interest of Dixie Rice and may be deemed to control Dixie Rice.

Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following entities or person that directly hold, the following percentages of the 115,529,217 Shares outstanding as of the close of business on April 27, 2020 based on information from Kronos Worldwide (the “Outstanding Shares”):

Valhi 
50.2%
NLKW 
30.5%
Contran 
Less than 1%

Together, Valhi, NL (and its wholly owned subsidiary NLKW) and Contran may be deemed to control Kronos Worldwide.

Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following entities or person that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding shares of NL common stock:

Valhi 
82.8%
Kronos Worldwide 
Less than 1%

Together, Valhi and Kronos Worldwide may be deemed to control NL.

Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust directly hold, or related to the following entity or person that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding shares of Valhi common stock:

Dixie Rice 
92.6%

Dixie Rice may be deemed to control Valhi.

NL (including a wholly owned subsidiary of NL) and Kronos Worldwide own 14,372,970 shares and 1,724,916 shares, respectively, of Valhi common stock.  As already stated, Valhi is the direct holder of approximately 82.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of NL and 50.2% of the Outstanding Shares.  As a result of Valhi’s direct and indirect ownership of NL and Kronos Worldwide and pursuant to Delaware law and Section 13(d)(4) of the Exchange Act, Valhi treats the shares of Valhi common stock that NL and Kronos Worldwide own as treasury stock for voting purposes.  For the purposes of this statement, such shares of Valhi common stock that NL and Kronos Worldwide hold are not deemed outstanding.

By virtue of the stock ownership of each of Kronos Worldwide, NLKW, NL, Valhi, Dixie Rice and Contran, Ms. Simmons being a beneficiary of the Family Trust, the direct holdings of Contran voting stock by Ms. Simmons, the voting rights conferred to Ms. Simmons by the Contran Stockholders Agreement with respect to the Connelly Direct Shares and the Connelly Indirect Shares, the position of chair of the Contran Board by Ms. Simmons, and the Family Trust’s ownership of Contran voting stock, in each case as described above, (a) Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust (and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Family Trust) may be deemed to control Contran, Dixie Rice, Valhi, NL, NLKW and Kronos Worldwide and (b) Ms. Simmons, the Family Trust (and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Family Trust), Contran, Dixie Rice, Valhi, NL, NLKW and Kronos Worldwide may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of, and a pecuniary interest in, shares of common stock directly held by such entities, including any Shares.  However, Ms. Simmons and the Family Trust (and the Trustee) each disclaims beneficial ownership of, and such pecuniary interest in, such shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any of such entities, except to the extent of their direct beneficial ownership, if any, in shares of such entities.

Certain information concerning the directors and executive officers of NLKW, NL, Valhi, Dixie Rice and Contran is set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(b) The principal offices of NLKW, NL, Valhi, Dixie Rice and Contran are located at, and the business address of Lisa K. Simmons is, Three Lincoln Centre, 5430 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1700, Dallas, Texas 75240.  The business address of the Family Trust is 5550 Preston Road, Suite B, Dallas, Texas 75205.  The business addresses of the remaining directors and executive officers of Dixie Rice and Contran are set forth on Schedule B to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Kronos Worldwide is principally engaged in the international production of titanium dioxide products.

NL is principally engaged in the manufacturing of security products and recreational marine components through CompX International Inc., a subsidiary of NL (“CompX”), and the holding of the securities described above as directly held by NL (or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries).

In addition to the activities engaged in through Kronos Worldwide and NL, Valhi is engaged through certain of its subsidiaries in real estate management and development.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows.

Depending upon their evaluation of Kronos Worldwide’s business and prospects, and upon future developments (including, but not limited to, performance of the Shares in the market, availability of funds, alternative uses of funds, and money, stock market and general economic conditions), any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed to be related to Contran may from time to time purchase Shares, and any of the Reporting Persons or other entities that may be deemed to be related to Contran may from time to time dispose of all or a portion of the Shares held by such person, or cease buying or selling Shares.  Any such additional purchases or sales of Shares may be in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
