approximately  39.6%,  14.4%, 12.0% and 1.3%,  respectively,  of the outstanding

value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"),  that she directly owns,
which are  convertible  into  2,666,666  shares of  TIMET's  common  stock.  The
ownership of Valhi includes 24,500 shares of TIMET's common stock that Valhi has
the right to acquire  upon  conversion  of 14,700  shares of Series A  Preferred
Stock that Valhi  directly  holds.  The  percentage  ownership of TIMET's common
stock held by Ms.  Simmons  and Valhi  assumes the full  conversion  of only the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by her or Valhi, respectively.</P>

power over such shares and (iii) may be deemed the indirect  beneficial owner of
such shares.</P>

approximately  12.0% of the outstanding shares of TIMET common stock and 0.1% of

trust to permit the  collective  investment  by master  trusts that maintain the

committee  for the CMRT.  Mr.  Simmons  is a  participant  in one or more of the

and  for  the   purposes   of  this   statement   such  shares  are  not  deemed
outstanding.</P>

chairman of TIMET, chairman of the board of CGI, Tremont,  Valhi, VGI, National,
NOA, Dixie Holding,  Dixie Rice, Southwest and Contran and chairman of the board
and chief executive officer of NL.</P>


     <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By  virtue of the  holding  of
the offices,  the stock  ownership and his service as trustee,  all as described
above, (a) Mr. Simmons may be deemed to control the entities described above and
(b) Mr.  Simmons and certain of such entities may be deemed to possess  indirect
beneficial  ownership  of the shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock that are

beneficial  ownership  of  the  shares  of  Class  A or  Class  B  Common  Stock
