On June 13, 2012, Tronox Incorporated announced that all outstanding shares of its common stock will be converted into Class A Shares in Tronox Limited and $12.50 per share in cash at the close of its pending acquisition of the mineral sands business of Exxaro Resources Limited.
As announced on June 8, the period during which stockholders may elect to receive exchangeable shares of Tronox Incorporated in the transaction expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 12, 2012. Based on results of the election, holders of less than 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock outstanding as of April 30, 2012, the record date for the special meeting of stockholders held on May 30, 2012, elected to receive exchangeable shares in the transaction. In accordance with the terms of the transaction agreement, since the number of Tronox Incorporated shares subject to exchangeable share election is below the minimum threshold required for issuing exchangeable shares, all outstanding shares of Tronox Incorporated common stock (other than shares held by holders who properly exercise their dissenters’ rights under Delaware law) will be converted into one Class A Share in Tronox Limited and $12.50 in cash per share upon the closing of the transaction.
