Co-CEO John Romano and I, along with the rest of the Tronox team, would like to thank Tim for his tireless commitment, leadership, and contributions that will leave a lasting legacy on our organization. We wish him all the best as he and his family move into this next phase after a long and successful career."

Mr. Carlson, CFO, commented, "I am extremely proud to have played a role in Tronox's transformation to where it is today – well positioned to navigate the current environment and deliver meaningful value in the future. I have worked very closely with John Srivisal over the past several years as a business partner on the executive team and am confident that the leadership, financial skills, and strategic vision he brings to the role will continue to position Tronox for success. I would like to thank our board, John and JF, and my colleagues for an incredible experience during my six years with Tronox."
