AMENDMENT NO. 30
TO SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 30 to this Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the “Class A Shares”), of CompX International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CompX”). Items 2, 4, 5 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 appointment of a successor trustee of the Family Trust (as defined below).
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”):
• | NL Industries, Inc. (“NL”) as a direct holder of Class A Shares; |
• | Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (“Kronos Worldwide”), Valhi, Inc. (“Valhi”), Dixie Rice Agricultural L.L.C. (“Dixie Rice”) and Contran Corporation (“Contran”) by virtue of their direct or indirect ownership of NL; |
• | Lisa K. Simmons by virtue of ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran by her and entities related to her, and her position as co-chair of the Contran board of directors (the “Contran Board”); |
• | Serena Simmons Connelly by virtue of ownership of outstanding voting stock of Contran by her and entities related to her, and her position as co-chair of the Contran Board; 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.
A majority of Contran’s outstanding voting stock is held directly by Ms. Simmons and Ms. 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 is held by the
Family Trust, for which Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly previously served as co-trustees. Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly are sisters.
Effective July 16, 2019, and upon entry of an agreed final judgment by the probate court of Dallas County in the state of Texas (the “Final Judgment”),
Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly appointed Terri Lacy and Kalita Blessing, respectively, as successor co-trustees of the Family Trust. Effective September 3, 2019, each of Ms. Lacy and Ms. Blessing resigned as a trustee of the Family Trust. Effective
September 3, 2019, each of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly appointed Tolleson Private Bank (the “Trustee”) as successor trustee of the Family Trust. Pursuant to the Final Judgment, Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly
retain the ability to appoint qualifying successor trustees of the Family Trust if the then-serving trustee resigns or otherwise does not serve as trustee.
Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly serve as co-chairs 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 and direct the disposition of the shares of Contran stock held by the Family Trust. Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly each has the power to vote and direct the disposition of shares of Contran stock they hold directly or which is
held by the Other Trusts for which they serve as trustee.
Contran is the holder of the sole membership interest of Dixie Rice and may be deemed to control Dixie Rice.
Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following persons or entities that directly hold, the following percentages of the 12,443,057
Class A Shares outstanding as of the close of business on August 30, 2019 based on information from CompX (the “Outstanding Class A Shares”):
NL | 86.4% |
Contran | Less than 1% |
Kronos Worldwide | Less than 1% |
Serena Simmons Connelly | Less than 1% |
Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following persons or entities that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding
shares of NL common stock:
Valhi | 82.8% |
Kronos Worldwide | Less than 1% |
Serena Simmons Connelly | Less than 1% |
Together, Valhi and Kronos Worldwide may be deemed to control NL.
Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust directly hold, or are related to the following persons or entities that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding
shares of Kronos Worldwide common stock:
Valhi | 50.1% |
NLKW Holding LLC (“NLKW”) | 30.4% |
Contran | Less than 1% |
Serena Simmons Connelly | Less than 1% |
Together, Valhi, NL (and its wholly owned subsidiary NLKW) and Contran may be deemed to control Kronos Worldwide.
Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Family Trust directly hold, or related to the following persons or entities that directly hold, the following percentages of the outstanding shares
of Valhi common stock:
Dixie Rice | 91.5% |
Serena Simmons Connelly | Less than 1% |
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 50.1% of the outstanding shares of Kronos Worldwide common stock. 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, NL, Valhi, Dixie Rice and Contran, Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly being beneficiaries of the Family Trust, the direct
holdings of Contran voting stock by each of Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly and the Other Trusts, the positions as co-chairs of the Contran Board by each of Ms. Simmons and Ms. Connelly, and the Family Trust’s ownership of Contran voting stock, in each
case as described above, (a) Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly 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, Kronos
Worldwide and CompX and (b) Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly, the Family Trust (and the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Family Trust), Contran, Dixie Rice, Valhi, NL 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 Class A Shares. However, Ms. Simmons, Ms. Connelly 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.

Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows.
