On October 4, 2017, Tronox Limited (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company, Exxaro Resources Limited (the “Selling Shareholder”), and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten offering and sale of 19,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares (“Class A ordinary shares”), pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-220765), filed on October 2, 2017, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, dated October 4, 2017. All of the Shares were sold by the Selling Shareholder. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters agreed to purchase the Shares at a price of $21.12 and were granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,925,000 Class A ordinary shares from the Selling Shareholder.
