STAMFORD, Conn.,
Feb. 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tronox Holdings plc (NYSE:TROX)
("Tronox" or the "Company"), a leading integrated manufacturer of
titanium dioxide pigment, today announced that Dr. Vanessa Guthrie has decided to not seek
re-election as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board") at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Dr. Guthrie will step off the Tronox Board with effect from
February 21, 2024. Dr. Guthrie also
serves on the Board of Directors of Lynas Rare Earths Ltd.
("Lynas"), an Australian producer of rare earth materials. Her
decision to not stand for re-election at Tronox was solely
related to the growing importance of rare earth mineral mining and
processing for Tronox and the foreseeable conflict of interest
which might arise as and when Tronox and Lynas begin competing in
this fast growing sector of the green energy transformation. Rare
earth materials are regarded as a "critical mineral" by
the United States, European Union,
Australia and other major
economies due to their importance in producing the types of
permanent magnets required in electric vehicle motors, wind
turbines and other strategic end markets.
"On behalf of the Board and the entire company, we would like to
thank Vanessa for her many contributions to Tronox," said
Ilan Kaufthal, non-executive
chairman of Tronox. "Vanessa played an important role in helping
Tronox develop its detailed decarbonization road map to achieve net
zero by 2050 as well as several other sustainability initiatives.
Since joining our Board in March
2019, her operational experience, thoughtful perspective,
and overall business insight have been valuable in positioning
Tronox for long-term success. We wish her great success in her
future endeavors."
