 (non-executive) is beneficial in providing strategic leadership for us since there is a commonality of interest that is closely aligned in building long-term stockholder value for all of our stockholders. We have in the past, and may in the future, have a leadership structure in which the same individual serves as our chairman of the board and as our chief executive officer. In those instances, the individual has been, or would be expected to be, an employee or representative of Contran.

Pursuant to our corporate governance guidelines, our non-management directors (who are not executive officers of Kronos Worldwide) are entitled to meet on a regular basis throughout the year, and will meet at least once annually, without management participation. Our independent directors also meet at least once annually, without the participation of our other directors who are not independent. We are not required to have a lead independent director under the NYSE corporate governance standards. While we do not have a lead independent director, the chairman of our audit committee presides at all of the meetings of our non-management and independent directors. In 2024, we complied with the NYSE requirements for meetings of our independent and non-management directors.

Under the rules of the SEC, in order to be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement, a stockholder proposal must be received by us no later than December 2, 2025. The notice should be in writing and must comply with the proxy rules of the SEC. If the date of our 2026 annual stockholders meeting changes by more than 30 days from May 14, 2026 (the anniversary of this year’s annual meeting), then the deadline will be a reasonable time before the printing and mailing of our proxy materials in accordance with applicable SEC rules.

Our advance notice bylaw provisions require that any stockholder proposal or director nomination to be presented from the floor of our 2026 annual meeting must be received by our corporate secretary not later than the 120th day nor earlier than the 150th day prior to May 14, 2026 (the first anniversary of this year’s annual meeting). If the date of our 2026 annual meeting is more than 30 days before or after May 14, 2026, stockholder proposals must be delivered no later than the 10th day following the date that notice of the date or our annual meeting is mailed or the public disclosure of the date for
