New York – July 10, 2009 – Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP (“Coughlin Stoia”) (http://www.csgrr.com/cases/tronox/) today announced that a class action has been commenced on behalf of an institutional investor in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Tronox, Inc. (“Tronox” or “the Company”) (OTC:TRXAQ.PK, OTC:TRXBQ.PK) common stock (Class A or Class B) between November 28, 2005 and January 12, 2009, inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Tronox is not named in this action as a defendant because it filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2009.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Coughlin Stoia at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@csgrr.com. If you are a member of this Class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.csgrr.com/cases/tronox/. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

The complaint charges Kerr-McGee Corporation (“Kerr-McGee”), Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”) and certain of Kerr-McGee and Tronox’s executives with violations of the Exchange Act. Tronox is a Delaware corporation engaged in the business of producing and marketing titanium dioxide – a white pigment used in a wide range of products to impart whiteness, brightness and opacity.

Tronox was spun-off from Kerr-McGee in a two-step transaction. In November 2005, Kerr-McGee sold 17.5 million shares of Tronox Class A shares in an initial public offering for $14.00 per share (the “IPO”) generating proceeds for Kerr-McGee of $225 million. After the IPO, Kerr-McGee continued to hold 56.7% of Tronox’s outstanding common stock. In March 2006, Kerr-McGee distributed the balance of the shares that it owned as Class B shares to its shareholders as a dividend (the “Spin-Off”).

The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s true financial condition, business and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that Defendants failed to disclose the true scope and extent of Tronox’s environmental and tort liabilities. When the market learned of the true facts about the Company, the price of Tronox stock declined precipitously.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Tronox common stock during the Class Period (the “Class”). The plaintiff is represented by Coughlin Stoia, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
