                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                              ---------------------

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying  proxy card or voting instruction form
are being  furnished in connection  with the  solicitation  of proxies by and on
behalf  of  the  Board  of  Directors  (referred  to  herein  as the  "Board  of
Directors") of Titanium Metals Corporation,  a Delaware corporation (referred to
herein as  "TIMET"  or the  "Company"),  for use at the 2005  Annual  Meeting of
Stockholders of the Company to be held Monday, May 23, 2005, at 1:00 p.m. (local
time), at the offices of Valhi,  Inc. located at Three Lincoln Centre,  5430 LBJ
Freeway,  Suite 1700,  Dallas,  Texas,  and at any  adjournment or  postponement
thereof (referred to herein as the "Annual  Meeting").  This Proxy Statement and
the accompanying  proxy card or voting  instruction form will first be mailed to
the  holders of TIMET's  common  stock,  $.01 par value per share  (referred  to
herein as "TIMET Common Stock"), on or about April 13, 2005.

                          PURPOSE OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

Common  stockholders  of the  Company  represented  at the Annual  Meeting  will
consider  and vote upon (i) the  election of eight  directors to serve until the
2006 Annual Meeting of  Stockholders  of the Company and until their  successors
are duly elected and qualified, (ii) approval of the Titanium Metals Corporation
2005  Profit  Sharing  Plan (the  "Profit  Sharing  Plan")  and (iii) such other
business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

                            VOTING RIGHTS AND QUORUM

The presence,  in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares
of TIMET  Common  Stock  entitled to vote at the Annual  Meeting is necessary to
constitute  a quorum for the conduct of business  at the Annual  Meeting.  Under
applicable  rules of the New York  Stock  Exchange  (referred  to  herein as the
"NYSE")  and  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (referred  to herein as the
"SEC"), brokers or other nominees holding shares of record on behalf of a client
who is the actual  beneficial  owner of such  shares are  authorized  to vote on
certain routine matters without receiving instructions from the beneficial owner
of the shares.  If a broker/nominee  who is entitled to vote on a routine matter
does not vote such shares, such shares are referred to herein as "broker/nominee
non-votes."  Shares of TIMET  Common  Stock that are voted to  abstain  from any
business coming before the Annual Meeting and  broker/nominee  non-votes will be
counted as being in attendance at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining
whether a quorum is present.

At the  Annual  Meeting,  directors  of  the  Company  will  be  elected  by the
affirmative vote of a plurality of the outstanding  shares of TIMET Common Stock
present (in person or by proxy) and  entitled to vote.  The  accompanying  proxy
card or voting  instruction  form provides  space for a stockholder  to withhold
authority to vote for any or all nominees  for the Board of  Directors.  Neither
shares as to which  authority  to vote on the  election  of  directors  has been
withheld nor  broker/nominee  non-votes will be counted as affirmative  votes to
elect nominees for the Board of Directors. However, since director nominees need
only receive the vote of a plurality of the shares  represented (in person or by
proxy) at the Annual  Meeting  and  entitled  to vote,  a vote  withheld  from a
particular nominee will not affect the election of such nominee.

                                       1


American  Stock  Transfer and Trust Company  (referred to herein as "AST"),  the
transfer  agent and registrar for TIMET Common Stock,  has been appointed by the
Board of  Directors  to receive  proxies and  ballots,  ascertain  the number of
shares represented,  tabulate the vote and serve as Inspector of Election at the
Annual  Meeting.  All  proxies  and  ballots  delivered  to  AST  will  be  kept
confidential by AST in accordance with the Company's By-laws.

Approval  of the Profit  Sharing  Plan will  require the  affirmative  vote of a
majority of the shares of TIMET Common Stock  present (in person or by proxy) at
the Annual  Meeting and entitled to vote.  Except as  otherwise  required by the
Company's Amended and Restated  Certificate of  Incorporation,  any other matter
that may be submitted to a  stockholder  vote will also require the  affirmative
vote of a majority  of the shares  present (in person or by proxy) at the Annual
Meeting and  entitled to vote.  Shares of TIMET  Common  Stock that are voted to
abstain from any business  coming before the Annual  Meeting and  broker/nominee
non-votes will not be counted as votes for or against the Profit Sharing Plan or
any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

The  record  date  set by the  Board  of  Directors  for  the  determination  of
stockholders  entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual  Meeting was the
close of business on March 28, 2005  (referred to herein as the "Record  Date").
Only  holders of shares of TIMET  Common  Stock at the close of  business on the
Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual  Meeting.  As of the Record Date,
there were 15,988,350 shares of TIMET Common Stock issued and outstanding,  each
of which will be  entitled  to one vote on each  matter  that  comes  before the
Annual Meeting. See "Interests of Certain Persons" below.

On August 5, 2004, the stockholders of TIMET approved a five-for-one stock split
of the  TIMET  Common  Stock  effected  in the  form of a stock  dividend.  Each
stockholder  of record on August 19, 2004  received  four  additional  shares of
TIMET Common Stock for each share held on August 19,  2004.  The stock  dividend
was paid,  finalizing  the stock  split,  on August 27,  2004.  All of the share
numbers for TIMET Common Stock in this Proxy Statement reflect this five-for-one
split, even if the date as to which such share number speaks to was prior to the
effective date of the stock split.

Prior to February 7, 2003, Tremont  Corporation  (referred to herein as "Tremont
Corporation")  held  approximately  39.7% of the  shares of TIMET  Common  Stock
outstanding.  On February 7, 2003, Valhi,  Inc.  (referred to herein as "Valhi")
completed  a  merger  with  Tremont   Corporation   whereby,   in  a  series  of
transactions,  Tremont  Corporation  was merged into  Tremont LLC  (referred  to
herein as  "Tremont  LLC"),  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Valhi.  For ease of
reference,  this series of transactions is called the Tremont Merger  throughout
this Proxy Statement.

                          INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS

Our principal  stockholders and some of the TIMET's  directors and officers have
interests in the Company  that are  different  from,  or in addition to, or that
might conflict with, the interests of other holders of TIMET's securities.

J. Landis Martin,  Christian Leonhard,  Robert E. Musgraves,  Joan H. Prusse and
Bruce P. Inglis are eligible to receive  compensation  under the Profit  Sharing
Plan included in Proposal II.

THE  DIRECTOR  NOMINEES  WILL BE  ELECTED  AND THE PROFIT  SHARING  PLAN WILL BE
APPROVED.


                               PROXY SOLICITATION

This proxy solicitation is being made by and on behalf of the Board of Directors
of the Company.  The Company  will pay all expenses of this proxy  solicitation,
including  charges for  preparing,  printing,  assembling and  distributing  all
materials  delivered  to  stockholders.  In  addition to  solicitation  by mail,
directors,  officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies by
telephone or personal  contact for which such persons will receive no additional
compensation.  Upon request,  the Company will reimburse  banking  institutions,
brokerage  firms,  custodians,  trustees,  nominees  and  fiduciaries  for their
reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses incurred in distributing proxy materials and
voting  instructions  to the  beneficial  owners of TIMET  Common  Stock held of
record by such entities.

All shares of TIMET Common Stock  represented by properly executed proxies will,
unless such proxies have  previously  been revoked,  be voted in accordance with
the  instructions  indicated in such proxies.  If no instructions are indicated,
such shares will be voted (a) "FOR" the  election of each of the eight  nominees
set forth below as directors,  (b) "FOR" approval of the Profit Sharing Plan and
(c) to the extent  allowed by applicable  laws,  in the  discretion of the proxy
holders on any other  matter that may properly  come before the Annual  Meeting.
Each holder of record of TIMET Common Stock giving the proxy  enclosed with this
Proxy  Statement may revoke it at any time,  prior to the voting  thereof at the
Annual Meeting, by (i) delivering to AST a written revocation of the proxy, (ii)
delivering to AST a duly executed  proxy bearing a later date or (iii) voting in
person at the Annual Meeting.  Attendance by a stockholder at the Annual Meeting
will not in itself constitute the revocation of a proxy previously given.

                                   PROPOSAL I
                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The By-laws of the Company currently provide that the Board of Directors shall
consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of seventeen persons, as determined
from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion. The number of
directors is currently set at eight. The eight directors elected at the Annual
Meeting will hold office until the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the
Company and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

All of the nominees are currently  directors of TIMET whose terms will expire at
the Annual Meeting and who were nominated to stand for  re-election to the Board
by the unanimous  vote of the full Board of Directors.  All nominees have agreed
to serve if elected.  If any nominee is not available for election at the Annual
Meeting,  the proxy will be voted for an alternate nominee to be selected by the
Board of  Directors,  unless the  stockholder  executing  such  proxy  withholds
authority to vote for the election of directors. The

                                       3


Board of Directors  believes that all of its present  nominees will be available
for election at the Annual Meeting and will serve if elected.

nominees  are  parties  and  other  matters,  see  "Certain   Relationships  and
Transactions" below.

Board Meetings
The  Board of  Directors  held  five  meetings  in 2004.  Each of the  directors
participated  in at least 75% of the total  number of such  meetings  and of the
committee  meetings  (for  committees  on which they  served)  held during their
period of service in 2004.  The Board of Directors does not have a formal policy
regarding Board members'  attendance at the Company's  annual  meetings.  All of
TIMET's   then-serving  Board  members  attended  the  2004  Annual  Meeting  of
Stockholders either in person or by conference telephone.

Board Committees
The Board of Directors has established the following standing committees:

Audit  Committee.  The  responsibilities  and  authority of the Audit  Committee
include,  among other things,  providing oversight with respect to the integrity
of the Company's financial  statements,  the Company's compliance with legal and
regulatory  requirements,   the  independent  accountant's   qualifications  and
independence  and the  performance  of the Company's  internal  audit  function;
retaining the Company's  independent  accountant,  overseeing the external audit
function  and  approving   all  fees  relating  to  the  Company's   independent
accountant;  reviewing with the independent  accountant the scope and results of
the annual auditing engagement and the system of internal  accounting  controls,
establishing  procedures for the handling of complaints  concerning  accounting,
internal   accounting   and  audit   matters,   including   procedures  for  the
confidential,  anonymous  submission of  complaints by employees;  reviewing the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K,  including  annual  financial  statements;
reviewing  and  discussing  with  management  the  Company's  interim  financial
statements and earnings  releases;  and directing and supervising  special audit
inquiries.  The Company's  Board of Directors has adopted a written  charter for
the Audit  Committee,  a copy of which was  attached  as  Appendix A to the 2004
Proxy  Statement of the Company.  The current members of the Audit Committee are
Dr. Niemi  (Chair),  Dr.  Hutchison and Mr.  Zucconi.  Mr.  Zucconi is the Audit
Committee  "financial  expert"  as  such  term is  defined  in  Item  401(b)  of
Regulation  S-K.  The  Company  believes  that each of the  members of the Audit
Committee is independent  in accordance  with the rules of the SEC, the NYSE and
any other applicable regulations. The Company does not limit the number of audit
committees  of  publicly  registered  companies  upon which the Audit  Committee
members  may serve;  however,  none of the  members of TIMET's  Audit  Committee
serves on the audit committees of more than three publicly registered companies.
The Audit Committee held 11 meetings in 2004. See "Audit  Committee  Report" and
"Independent Public Accountant Matters" below.

Management    Development   and    Compensation    Committee.    The   principal
responsibilities  and authority of the Compensation  Committee are to review and
approve certain matters involving employee compensation  (including executives),
including making  recommendations  to the Board of Directors  regarding  certain
compensation  matters  involving  the Chief  Executive  Officer,  to review  and
approve  grants  of stock  options,  stock  appreciation  rights  and  awards of
restricted stock under the 1996 Long Term Performance Incentive Plan of Titanium
Metals  Corporation  adopted  by the  Company  and  approved  by  the  Company's
stockholders (referred to herein as the "TIMET Stock Incentive Plan"), to review
and recommend adoption of or revision to compensation plans and employee benefit
programs except as otherwise delegated by the Board of Directors,  to review and
recommend  compensation  policies and practices and to prepare such compensation
committee  disclosures as may be required, to review and recommend any executive

                                       6


employment  contract,  and  to  provide  counsel  on  key  personnel  selection,
organization  strategies  and such other  matters as the Board of Directors  may
from time to time direct. The current members of the Compensation  Committee are
Dr. Hutchison  (Chair),  Dr. Niemi and Mr. Green. The Company believes that each
of the members of the  Compensation  Committee is independent in accordance with
the rules of the NYSE and any other  applicable  regulations.  The  Compensation
Committee held one meeting and took action by written consent one time in 2004.

Nominations  Committee.  From January 1, 2004 to March 2004,  the Company had no
standing  Nominations  Committee and the entire Board of Directors performed the
duties of the Nominations  Committee in that time period. On March 24, 2004, the
Board of  Directors  re-established  the  Nominations  Committee  to comply with
then-applicable NYSE corporate governance  standards.  The Nominations Committee
was comprised of Dr. Hutchison (Chair) and Mr. Green, and operated pursuant to a
written  charter.  During this time, the Nominations  Committee held no meetings
and took  action by written  consent  one time.  In October  2004,  the  Company
determined that it was a "controlled company" under NYSE rules, and the Board of
Directors deemed it appropriate to have no standing Nominations  Committee.  The
entire Board of Directors  has performed  the duties  formerly  performed by the
Nominations  Committee  since that time, but not pursuant to a written  charter.
The Board of Directors  makes  determinations  as to the size and composition of
the Board of Directors, criteria for director nominations,  director candidates,
the  term  of  office  for  directors,  and  adoption  of  corporate  governance
principles, evaluates the Company's management and such other related matters as
the Board of Directors may determine  from time to time.  The Board of Directors
does not have a formal  process for  identifying  and  evaluating  nominees  for
directors.  The Board of Directors will consider recommendations by stockholders
of the Company with respect to the election of directors if such recommendations
are  submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Company and received not later
than December 31 of the year prior to the next annual  meeting of  stockholders.
While the Board of Directors  does not have any specific  policy  regarding  the
consideration of director candidates  recommended by stockholders,  the Board of
Directors would evaluate nominees  recommended by stockholders of the Company in
the same manner by which it evaluates  potential  nominees  recommended by other
means.  The Board of  Directors  has not  adopted  any formal  policy  regarding
minimal  qualifications  of  recommended  nominees,  but takes into account such
criteria as it deems necessary and appropriate from time to time.

In the event that  dividends on the  Company's  Series A Preferred  Stock are in
arrears for 12 quarterly periods, the holders of a majority of the shares of the
Series A  Preferred  Stock  may  elect an  additional  director  to the Board of
Directors.  As  of  the  Record  Date,  Harold  C.  Simmons  may  be  deemed  to
beneficially  own 1,614,700  shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or 41.3% of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, comprised of 1,600,000 shares of
Series A  Preferred  Stock  owned by his spouse  and  14,700  shares of Series A
Preferred Stock owned by Valhi. Mr. Simmons  disclaims  beneficial  ownership of
the shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock  held by his spouse and Valhi.  With an
additional 8.7% of the shares of Series A Preferred  Stock, Mr. Simmons would be
able to control the voting rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
with respect to the election of the additional director.

Pension and Employee Benefits Committee. The Pension Committee is established to
oversee the  administration  of the Company's pension and employee benefit plans
other than the TIMET Stock  Incentive  Plan. The Pension  Committee is currently
composed of Mr. Glenn  Simmons  (Chair),  Mr. Green and Dr.  Niemi.  The Pension
Committee  held no meetings and took action by written  consent two times during
2004.

Members of the standing  committees will be appointed at the next meeting of the
Board of Directors  following  the Annual  Meeting.  The Board of Directors  has
previously established, and from time to time may establish, other committees to
assist it in the discharge of its  responsibilities.  The Company has posted

                                       7


the  charters  for  each of its  committees  on its  website  at  www.timet.com.
Stockholders of the Company may send communications to the Board of Directors by
mailing such  communications  to:  Titanium Metals  Corporation,  1999 Broadway,
Suite 4300,  Denver,  CO 80202,  Attention:  Board of  Directors.  The Company's
management will forward all stockholder  communications  requiring the attention
of the Board of Directors to the Board members or the relevant  Board  committee
members.

Compensation of Directors
Under the compensation  plan for non-employee  directors  adopted by the Company
and approved by the Company's  stockholders (referred to herein as the "Director
Compensation  Plan"),  directors  of the  Company who are not  employees  of the
Company (eligible directors) receive an annual cash retainer of $20,000, paid in
quarterly  installments,  plus  an  annual  cash  retainer  of  $2,000,  paid in
quarterly installments,  for each committee on which a member serves.  Effective
October 1, 2004, the annual cash retainer payable to eligible  directors who are
members of the Audit Committee was increased to $5,000.  Also effective  October
1, 2004, the Audit Committee  "financial expert" receives an additional,  annual
cash  retainer  of $5,000.  Eligible  directors  also  receive  an annual  stock
retainer  ranging between 500 shares (if the closing price of TIMET Common Stock
on the date of the  grant is above  $20 per  share)  and  2,000  shares  (if the
closing  price is less  than $5 per  share).  In  addition,  eligible  directors
receive an attendance  fee of $1,000 per day for meeting  attendance.  Directors
are also  reimbursed  for  reasonable  expenses  incurred in attending  Board of
Directors' and committee meetings.

Corporate Governance
Since the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the adoption of new
corporate governance standards by the NYSE, TIMET has developed and continues to
evaluate new policies and procedures regarding corporate governance. TIMET's
policies and practices reflect governance initiatives that are compliant with
the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE and the SEC. TIMET has adopted
a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which is applicable to, among others, its
principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal
accounting officer or controller. The Investor Information -- Corporate
Governance section of TIMET's website at www.timet.com includes TIMET's
Corporate Governance Policies, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to
all of TIMET's officers and employees, including those officers identified
above, and charters for the committees of the Board of Directors.

Based upon the ownership of Harold C. Simmons,  Tremont LLC,  Valhi and the CMRT
described in this Proxy  Statement,  the Board of Directors has determined  that
the  Company is a  "controlled  company" as such term is defined by the rules of
the NYSE,  and,  therefore,  the Company  may choose not to comply with  certain
rules of the NYSE as follows:

     o    A  requirement  that  the  Board  of  Directors  have  a  majority  of
          independent directors;
     o    A requirement  that the Company have a standing  nominations/corporate
          governance  committee  comprised  entirely  of  independent  directors
          operating  pursuant to a written  charter  addressing  certain  issues
          specified in the NYSE rules; and
     o    A requirement that the Company have a standing compensation  committee
          comprised  entirely of independent  directors  operating pursuant to a
          written charter addressing certain issues specified in the NYSE rules.

The  Company  has chosen not to have a majority  of  independent  directors  and
currently has four directors who it believes meet the criteria for  independence
under NYSE rules as described  below.  The Company has also chosen not to have a
standing  nominations/corporate  governance  committee,  and the entire Board of
Directors performs the duties that could be performed by a nominations/corporate
governance  committee.  The Company has currently chosen to comply with the NYSE
rules that pertain to compensation  committees,  but may in the future choose to
avail  itself  of the  permitted

                                       8


exemption from these rules.  The Company's  Compensation  Committee is currently
comprised  entirely of directors whom the Company believes meet the independence
criteria of the NYSE, and the  Compensation  Committee  operates  according to a
written  charter that the Company  believes  complies  with the NYSE rules.  See
"Nominees  for  Director,"   "Independence  Criteria,"  "Board  Committees"  and
"Certain Relationships and Transactions" herein for more information.

Independence Criteria
Under rules of the NYSE, no director will be deemed to be independent unless the
Board of Directors  affirmatively  determines  that the director has no material
relationship with TIMET, directly or as an officer,  equity holder or partner of
an organization that has a relationship with the Company. The Board of Directors
applies  the  rules of the NYSE and other  applicable  laws and  regulations  in
making its  independence  determination.  The Board of Directors  considers  all
commercial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable or other business
relationships  that a director has with the  Company.  As a result of its annual
review,  the Board of  Directors  believes  that  Norman N.  Green,  Dr. Gary C.
Hutchison,  Dr.  Albert  W.  Niemi,  Jr.  and Paul J.  Zucconi  are  independent
directors because none of these directors has any material relationship with the
Company  of the  type  described  in the  NYSE  rules  or any  other  applicable
regulations.

TIMET  understands  that Tremont LLC, Valhi and related  persons or entities may

"BUCS" and  described in  "Ownership  of BUCS"  below)  through  open-market  or
privately   negotiated   transactions,   depending  upon  future   developments,
including,  but not limited to, the  availability and alternative uses of funds,
the  performance of TIMET Common Stock,  the Series A Preferred Stock or BUCS in
the market, an assessment of the business of and prospects for TIMET,  financial
and stock market conditions and other factors. TIMET may similarly consider such
acquisitions  of shares of TIMET Common Stock,  Series A Preferred Stock or BUCS
and  acquisition  or  disposition  of securities  issued by related or unrelated
parties.  TIMET  does  not,  and  understands  that  Tremont  LLC also does not,
presently  intend to engage in any  transaction or series of  transactions  that
would  result  in TIMET  Common  Stock  becoming  eligible  for  termination  of
registration under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (referred to
herein as the "Exchange  Act") or ceasing to be traded on a national  securities
exchange.

Ownership of BUCS
The TIMET  Capital  Trust I  (referred  to herein as the  "Capital  Trust") is a
statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware,  all of
whose  common  securities  are  owned by  TIMET.  The BUCS  represent  undivided
beneficial interests in the Capital Trust. The Capital Trust exists for the sole
purpose of issuing  the BUCS and  investing  in an  equivalent  amount of 6.625%
Convertible Junior  Subordinated  Debentures due 2026 (referred to herein as the
"Subordinated  Debentures") of TIMET.  In August 2004, the Company  completed an
exchange  offer  pursuant  to which the Company  offered to exchange  all of the
4,024,830  outstanding  BUCS issued by the Capital  Trust for shares of Series A
Preferred  Stock at the exchange  rate of one share of Series A Preferred  Stock
for each BUCS.  After the exchange offer of the Series A Preferred Stock for the
BUCS, 115,717 BUCS remain outstanding. These BUCS are convertible,

                                       15


at the option of the holder thereof,  into an aggregate of approximately  77,472
shares of TIMET  Common  Stock at a  conversion  rate of  0.6695  share of TIMET
Common  Stock for each BUCS.  TIMET has,  in effect,  fully and  unconditionally
guaranteed repayment of all amounts due on the BUCS.

The BUCS were issued pursuant to an offering exempt from registration  under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (referred to herein as the "Securities Act").
Pursuant to an agreement  with the original  purchasers  of the BUCS,  TIMET has
filed a registration statement under the Securities Act to register, among other
things, the BUCS, the Subordinated  Debentures,  the TIMET Common Stock issuable
upon the  conversion of the BUCS, and certain other shares of TIMET Common Stock
that are held by, or may be acquired  by,  Tremont  LLC. The BUCS are a publicly
traded  security under the ticker symbol  "TMCXP.PK."  No director,  nominee for
director or executive officer of TIMET is known to hold any BUCS.

Ownership of Series A Preferred Stock
Based upon the 3,909,103 BUCS tendered and accepted for exchange as of the close
of the Company's exchange offer on August 31, 2004, the Company issued 3,909,103
shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for the tendered BUCS. The Series
A Preferred Stock is convertible,  at the option of the holder thereof,  into an
aggregate  of  approximately  6,515,171  shares  of  TIMET  Common  Stock  at  a
conversion  rate of one and  two-thirds  shares of TIMET  Common  Stock for each
share of Series A Preferred  Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock was issued in a
registered  offering,  and is a publicly traded security under the ticker symbol
"TIELP.PK."  Other than as set forth under notes (3),  (4),  (5) and (7), to the
table under the heading  "Ownership of TIMET Common  Stock" above,  no director,
nominee for director or  executive  officer of TIMET is known to hold any shares
of Series A Preferred Stock.


Ownership of Valhi Common Stock
By virtue of the share  ownership  described  above,  for  purposes of the SEC's
regulations,  Valhi may be deemed to be the parent of TIMET. The following table
and  accompanying  notes set forth the  beneficial  ownership,  as of the Record
Date,  of  Valhi's  common  stock  ($.01 par value per  share)  held by (i) each

(1)  Columns  required  by the  regulations  of the SEC that  would  contain  no
     entries have been omitted.

(2)  J. Landis Martin and Robert E. Musgraves also served as executive  officers
     of Tremont  Corporation  for a portion of 2003 prior to the Tremont  Merger
     and  during  2002.  Joan H.  Prusse  also  served as an  officer of Tremont
     Corporation  in 2002, in 2003 prior to the Tremont Merger and has continued
     to provide  services to Tremont LLC since the  Tremont  Merger  pursuant to
     intercorporate  services agreements.  The amounts shown as salary and bonus
     for Mr. Martin, Mr. Musgraves and Ms. Prusse represent the full amount paid
     by TIMET for services  rendered by such

                                       19



persons on behalf of both TIMET and Tremont  Corporation  during 2004,  2003 and
2002. Pursuant to an intercorporate services agreement,  Tremont Corporation was
obligated to reimburse TIMET for a portion of the TIMET salary and regular bonus
of each of Mr. Martin,  Mr. Musgraves and Ms. Prusse  (approximately 10% in 2002
and a prorated  portion of 10% for 2003 for service prior to the Tremont  Merger
for each of Mr. Martin and Mr. Musgraves and approximately 20% in 2004, 2003 and
2002 for Ms. Prusse),  and a proportionate share of applicable  estimated fringe
benefits and overhead expense for each, as follows:

                  Year            Martin        Musgraves        Prusse
                  ----            ------        ---------        ------
                  2004                -0-            -0-         $49,600
                  2003             $7,500         $9,150         $48,115
                  2002            $60,000        $33,600         $39,511

(3)  Effective  January 1, 2003,  Mr.  Martin,  Mr.  Leonhard and Mr.  Musgraves
     voluntarily  reduced  their  salaries  (from  $500,000 to $250,000  for Mr.
     Martin and from $250,000 to $225,000 for Mr.  Leonhard and Mr.  Musgraves).
     Following his relocation to Europe in July 2003,  Mr.  Leonhard was paid in
     euros  at  a  rate  of  (euro)236,250  per  year.  In  February  2004,  the
     Compensation   Committee   voted  to  restore   these   salaries  to  their
     pre-reduction  levels after the Company had reported positive quarterly net
     income for two consecutive  quarters commencing in 2004.  Accordingly,  the
     salaries of Mr.  Martin,  Mr.  Leonhard and Mr.  Musgraves were restored to
     $500,000,  (euro)262,500 and $250,000,  respectively,  effective October 1,
     2004 after the Company had reported  positive  quarterly net income for the
     second and third  quarters of 2004.  The amount  included as salary for Mr.
     Leonhard  that was paid in euros was  converted  to dollars for purposes of
     this table at an  exchange  rate of  (euro)1 = $1.17 for 2003 (the  average
     exchange rate for the period of 2003 during which Mr.  Leonhard was paid in
     euros) and at an  exchange  rate of  (euro)1 = $1.24 for 2004 (the  average
     exchange rate for 2004).

(4)  Under TIMET's variable  incentive  compensation plan (referred to herein as
     the "Employee Cash Incentive  Plan"),  Mr.  Leonhard,  Mr.  Musgraves,  Ms.
     Prusse and Mr.  Inglis are  entitled to receive  annual  awards  based upon
     TIMET's  financial   performance  and  the  assessed   performance  of  the
     individual. In 2004, Mr. Leonhard, Mr. Musgraves, Ms. Prusse and Mr. Inglis
     received  awards  under  the  Employee  Cash  Incentive  Plan of  $234,360,
     $180,000,  $62,000  and  $60,450,  respectively,  for  service  in 2004 and
     special   bonus   awards  of  $32,550,   $25,000,   $20,000  and   $19,500,
     respectively,  under a special one-time incentive program tied to achieving
     a significant  improvement  over annual  operating plan income in 2004 that
     affected  approximately  125 senior level  employees  who were subject to a
     salary freeze during  2003-2004.  In 2003, Mr.  Leonhard and Mr.  Musgraves
     were each  eligible  to receive  individual  performance  awards  under the
     Employee Cash Incentive  Plan.  However,  each elected to forego such award
     because of the  existence of the salary freeze  applicable to  senior-level
     salaried  employees and the  unavailability  of incentive  compensation for
     such employees.  For 2002, Mr. Leonhard and Mr. Musgraves were each awarded
     $30,000  under the  individual  performance  portion of the  Employee  Cash
     Incentive Plan but chose to defer payment of such award (without interest).
     Under SEC rules,  these  earned  amounts  are  required  to be shown in the
     "Bonus"  column  for 2002  even  though  not  actually  paid.  The Board of
     Directors has approved payment of the 2002 bonuses in 2005.

     In lieu of participating in the Employee Cash Incentive Program, Mr. Martin
     participates  in TIMET's Senior  Executive Cash Incentive Plan (referred to
     herein as the "Senior  Executive Cash  Incentive  Plan") which provides for
     payments based solely upon TIMET's financial performance.  No payments were
     made under this plan to Mr. Martin during 2002 or 2003. Mr. Martin received
     an award of  $380,000  for 2004  service  under  this plan  based  upon the
     Company's  return on equity

                                       20



     of 15.2%.  Mr.  Martin also  received a special  bonus award of $50,000 for
     2004 service under the special 2004 incentive program discussed above.

(5)  Except as otherwise  indicated in note (8) below, "All Other  Compensation"
     amounts  represent  (i)  matching  contributions  made or  accrued by TIMET
     pursuant  to  the  savings  feature  of  TIMET's  Retirement  Savings  Plan
     (suspended from April 2003 to April 2004),  (ii)  retirement  contributions
     made or accrued by TIMET  pursuant to the  Retirement  Savings Plan,  (iii)
     life  insurance  premiums  paid by  TIMET  and  (iv)  long-term  disability
     insurance premiums paid by TIMET, as follows:

     Under the terms of the TIMET universal life insurance plan, Mr.  Musgraves,
     Mr. Inglis and Ms. Prusse are entitled to the cash surrender value of their
     individual  policies.  As of the Record Date, the cash surrender  value was
     $5,515 under Mr. Musgraves'  policy.  Mr. Inglis and Ms. Prusse have yet to
     accrue any cash  surrender  value  under  their  respective  policies.  Mr.
     Leonhard's policy has no cash surrender value.

(6)  The amounts  shown as "Other  Annual  Compensation"  for Mr. Martin in 2002
     represents $131 of above market interest paid on a special bonus awarded to
     Mr. Martin in 2001 and paid in 2001 and 2002 for his efforts in achieving a
     favorable settlement of certain significant litigation.

(7)  For all of 2004, Harold C. Simmons was an employee of Contran.  Mr. Simmons
     became Vice Chairman of the Board of the Company  effective August 31, 2004
     and  provides  executive  officer  services to the Company  pursuant to the
     intercorporate  services  agreement  between  Contran,  Tremont LLC and the
     Company  effective  January  1, 2004  (referred  to herein as the  "Contran
     ISA").  The  amount  shown in the  "Salary"  column  for 2004  consists  of
     $1,000,000 in fees the Company paid to Contran  pursuant to the Contran ISA
     related to the  services  Mr.  Simmons  rendered to the Company in 2004 and
     $7,000  in fees the  Company  paid to Mr.  Simmons  for his  services  as a
     director in 2004.

(8)  In 2000,  Mr.  Musgraves and Mr.  Leonhard each received an award of 20,000
     shares of restricted  TIMET Common Stock,  and Ms. Prusse received an award
     of 3,750 shares of restricted TIMET Common Stock.  The restrictions  lapsed
     as to 20% of such  shares on each of the first five  anniversaries  of such
     grant date. Any shares as to which restrictions have not lapsed are subject
     to  forfeiture  in  the  event  of  the  termination  of  the  individual's
     employment  with  TIMET  (for  reasons  other  than  death,  disability  or
     retirement).  Holders of restricted  stock are entitled to vote and

                                       21


     receive   dividends   with  respect  to  such  shares  prior  to  the  date
     restrictions  lapse thereon.  As of December 31, 2004,  Mr.  Musgraves held
     4,000 shares of  restricted  TIMET Common  Stock,  and Ms.  Prusse held 750
     shares of  restricted  TIMET Common  Stock  (valued at $96,560 and $18,105,
     respectively,  at the $24.14 per share  closing price of TIMET Common Stock
     on such date).  In connection  with his  relocation to Europe in 2003,  Mr.
     Leonhard's  remaining  unvested grant of restricted stock was cancelled and
     replaced  with a grant of "phantom"  restricted  stock on  identical  terms
     except payable in cash rather than shares of TIMET Common Stock.  The value
     of Mr. Leonhard's remaining, unvested phantom stock award was $96,560 as of
     December 31, 2004.

(9)  The amounts  shown as "All Other  Compensation"  for Mr.  Leonhard  include
     $19,509 in 2004,  $70,258 in 2003 and  $41,328 in 2002 paid to or on behalf
     of Mr.  Leonhard  in  connection  with his foreign  assignments  (including
     housing and car allowance, tax equalization payments,  relocation costs and
     income taxes with respect to certain of such  payments).  The amounts shown
     as "All  Other  Compensation"  for Mr.  Inglis  include  $4,903 in 2004 and
     $55,310 in 2003 paid to or on behalf of Mr. Inglis for relocation costs and
     tax return  preparation  services  and $59,945  paid to or on behalf of Mr.
     Inglis in 2002 for salary  continuance,  housing allowance,  life insurance
     premiums  and tax  return  preparation  services  in  connection  with  his
     departure from TIMET UK Limited in 2001.

(10) In 2001,  the TIMET Board of  Directors  awarded  Mr.  Musgraves a bonus in
     recognition of his special  efforts in achieving a favorable  settlement of
     certain significant  litigation on behalf of the Company. A portion of this
     amount  was paid in 2001 at the time of the  award.  The  balance  would be
     earned and payable in two equal  installments in 2002 and 2003,  subject to
     Mr.  Musgraves'  continued  employment with TIMET.  One such installment of
     $80,000 was earned and paid in May 2002  (reflected  in the "Bonus"  column
     for 2002), and the other installment was earned in May 2003.  However,  Mr.
     Musgraves  elected  to defer  payment of the final  installment  of $80,000
     (without interest) owing to the Company's  financial  circumstances at that
     time.  Under SEC rules,  this earned  amount is required to be shown in the
     "Bonus" column for 2003 even though not paid at that time. The Company paid
     the final installment of $80,000 in the fourth quarter of 2004.

(11) Ms. Prusse was also awarded a bonus in 2001 pertaining to the settlement of
     the same significant litigation on terms similar to those described for Mr.
     Musgraves'  award in note (10). The amounts shown in the "Bonus" column for
     Ms. Prusse for 2002 and 2003 reflect the second and third  installments  of
     her 2001 bonus award,  which  installments  of $25,000 each were earned and
     paid subject to her continued employment with TIMET in 2002 and 2003.

Stock Option/SAR Grants in Last Fiscal Year
No stock  options or stock  appreciation  rights  (referred to herein as "SARs")
were granted under the TIMET Stock Incentive Plan in 2004.

Severance Arrangements and Employment Agreements
In 1999, the Company adopted a policy that remains applicable to Mr. Martin, Mr.
Leonhard and Mr. Musgraves,  providing that the following  payments will be made
to each such  individual  in the event his  employment  is  terminated  by TIMET
without  cause (as  defined in the  policy) or such  individual  terminates  his
employment with TIMET for good reason (as defined in the policy):  (i) one times
such  individual's  annual  TIMET  base  salary  paid  in  the  form  of  salary
continuation,  (ii) prorated bonus for the year of termination and (iii) certain
other benefits.

Mr.  Leonhard may be eligible for benefits  under a statutory  French  indemnity
program,  pursuant  to which he would  receive (at his option and in lieu of any
benefits under the foregoing  executive  severance  policy) a severance  payment
equal  to one  year's  salary  payable  by  TIMET  Savoie  (in  addition  to any
unemployment  benefits  he  might  be  entitled  to  receive  under  the  French
governmental program).

Mr.  Leonhard is party to an Amendment  to  Employment  Contract  executed as of
November  25,  2003 and  amended  effective  January  1, 2005 with TIMET and its
affiliate TIMET Savoie. Under this Contract Mr. Leonhard is seconded or assigned
by TIMET Savoie to TIMET in the capacity of Director of European  Operations and
performs duties commensurate with that position. This Contract provided that Mr.
Leonhard's annual gross salary was payable at a rate of (euro)236,250 (which was
increased by the  Compensation  Committee to  (euro)262,500  per year  effective
October 1, 2004 after the Company had reported positive quarterly net income for
the second and third  quarters of 2004) and provides for certain other  benefits
customary for executives of his position. Effective January 1, 2005, this annual
gross salary rate was increased to (euro)315,000.

             COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The  information  contained  in this  report  shall  not be  deemed  "soliciting
material" or "filed" with the SEC, or subject to the  liabilities  of Section 18
of the Exchange Act, except to the extent the Company specifically requests that
the material be treated as soliciting material or specifically incorporates this
report by  reference  into a  document  filed  under the  Securities  Act or the
Exchange Act.

The  Compensation  Committee of the  Company's  Board of Directors  presents the
following report on executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee is composed of directors who are neither officers nor
employees  of the  Company,  its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates  and  who are not
eligible to participate in any of the employee benefit plans administered by it.
The Compensation  Committee reviews and recommends  compensation policies and is
responsible for approving all  compensation  paid directly by the Company to the
Company's executive officers other than compensation matters involving the Chief
Executive  Officer  (the  "CEO").  Any  action  regarding  compensation  matters
involving the CEO is reviewed and approved by the Board after  recommendation by
the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Program Objectives
The  Compensation  Committee  believes  that the  Company's  primary  goal is to
increase  stockholder  value, as measured by dividends paid on, and appreciation
in the  value  of,  the  Company's  equity  securities.  It is the  Compensation
Committee's  policy that compensation  programs be designed to attract,  retain,
motivate and reward employees,  including executive  officers,  who can lead the
Company in  accomplishing  this goal.  It is also the  Compensation  Committee's
policy that compensation  programs tie a large component of cash compensation to
the Company's  financial results,  creating a  performance-oriented  environment
that rewards employees for achieving pre-set  financial  performance  levels and
increasing  stockholder value,  thereby contributing to the long-term success of
the Company.

During 2004,  the Company's  compensation  program with respect to its executive
officers,  including the CEO, consisted of two primary  components:  base salary
and variable  compensation based upon Company and, in certain cases,  individual
performance.

Base Salaries of Executive Officers other than Chief Executive Officer
The Compensation  Committee, in consultation with the CEO, reviews base salaries
for the executive  officers other than the CEO generally no more frequently than
annually.  The CEO's  recommendation  and the Compensation  Committee's  actions
regarding  base  salaries  are  generally  based  primarily  upon  a  subjective
evaluation   of  past  and   potential   future   individual   performance   and
contributions,   changes  in  individual   responsibilities,   and   alternative
opportunities that might be available to the executives in question,  as well as
compensation  data from companies  employing  executives in positions similar to
those whose  salaries  were being  reviewed,  as well as market  conditions  for
executives in general with similar  skills,  background  and  performance,  both
inside and outside of the metals industry (including  companies contained in the
peer group index plotted on the Performance  Graph  following this report),  and
other  companies  with similar  financial  and business  characteristics  as the
Company or where the executive in question has similar  responsibilities.  Based
upon the  condition of the business and the outlook at that time,  Mr.  Leonhard
and Mr.  Musgraves,  the Company's  two Chief  Operating  Officers,  voluntarily
agreed to reduce their salaries from $250,000 to $225,000 beginning in 2003. Mr.
Leonhard's annual  compensation rate was modified from $225,000 to (euro)236,250
upon his return to Europe in  mid-2003.  The  salaries of Mr.  Leonhard  and Mr.
Musgraves were restored to (euro)262,500 and $250,000,  respectively,  effective
October 1, 2004 after the Company had reported positive quarterly net income for
the second and third  quarters of 2004.  The base salaries of Ms. Prusse and Mr.
Inglis were frozen during  2003-2004  based upon  conditions

                                       25


of the business and outlook at that time.

The amount shown in the "Salary"  column in the Summary  Compensation  Table for
Mr. Simmons includes both amounts paid to him by the Company for his services as
a director  and an  allocated  portion of the total fee paid by TIMET to Contran
under the Contran ISA for provision of services to TIMET.  In 2004,  the Contran
ISA was approved by the independent members of TIMET's Board of Directors.

Base Salary of Chief Executive Officer
Based upon the  condition  of the  business  and the  outlook at that time,  Mr.
Martin  voluntarily  reduced his salary from  $500,000 to $250,000  beginning in
2003. Mr.  Martin's  salary was restored to $500,000  effective  October 1, 2004
after the Company had reported positive  quarterly net income for the second and
third quarters of 2004.

Cash Incentive Plans
Awards under  TIMET's  Employee  Cash  Incentive  Plan  represent a  significant
portion of the  potential  annual cash  compensation  to  employees of TIMET and
consist of a combination  of awards based on the financial  performance of TIMET
and, in some cases, on individual  performance.  All of the Company's  executive
officers,  other than Mr.  Simmons  and Mr.  Martin,  were  eligible  to receive
benefits under the Employee Cash Incentive Plan for 2004.

The component of the awards that is based on the financial  performance of TIMET
depends upon TIMET's  achieving  certain  pre-set  return on equity (ROE) goals,
which the Company believes should increase  stockholder  value over time if they
are met.  Performance  levels are tied to the  Company's  corporate-wide  ROE as
follows:


                                               Performance
                               ROE                Level
                         --------------------------------
                         less than 3%              --
                         3%-6%                     A
                         6%-12%                    B
                         12%-24%                   C
                         over 24%                  D

In 2004, the Company  achieved a return on equity of 15.2%, as calculated  under
the Employee Cash Incentive Plan,  resulting in a "C" level  Company-performance
based payout.

Mr. Leonhard, Mr. Musgraves, Ms. Prusse and Mr. Inglis received awards under the
Employee  Cash  Incentive  Plan of  $234,360,  $180,000,  $62,000  and  $60,450,
respectively,  for service in 2004 and special bonus awards of $32,550, $25,000,
$20,000 and $19,500,  respectively,  under a special one-time  incentive program
tied to achieving a significant improvement over annual operating plan income in
2004 that affected  approximately 125 senior level employees who were subject to
a salary freeze during 2003-2004 (reflected in the Summary Compensation Table).

In 1996, the Board  established the Senior  Executive Cash Incentive Plan, which
was  approved by the  Company's  stockholders  in 1997.  The Board  subsequently
amended this plan in 2004.  This plan was applicable only to Mr. Martin in 2004.
The Senior Executive Cash Incentive Plan provided for payments based solely upon
Company  performance  ranging between 0% for corporate returns on equity of less
than 3% up to 150% of base  salary  for  corporate  returns  on equity of 30% or
greater. Mr. Martin received an award of $380,000 for 2004 under this plan based
upon the Company's return on equity of 15.2%. Mr. Martin also received a special
bonus  award of  $50,000  for 2004  under the  special  2004  incentive  program
discussed above.

                                       26



Mr. Simmons is not eligible for awards under any of the Company's Cash Incentive
Plans, the special one-time  incentive program or the Profit Sharing Plan. Apart
from the foregoing plans, the Compensation  Committee or the Board may from time
to time award such other  bonuses as the  Compensation  Committee or Board deems
appropriate  from time to time under its general  authority  or under a separate
discretionary plan.

Profit Sharing Plan
In 2004, the Board replaced both the Employee Cash Incentive Plan and the Senior
Executive  Cash Incentive Plan with a new Profit Sharing Plan that is applicable
to certain of the  Company's  employees,  including  Messrs.  Martin,  Leonhard,
Musgraves and Inglis and Ms. Prusse.  Potential  awards under the Profit Sharing
Plan  are  a  function  of  both  individual  performance  ratings  and  Company
performance,  which is based on TIMET's achievement of certain pre-set operating
income targets.  The new Profit Sharing Plan became  effective  January 1, 2005.
However, the Board agreed that for transition purposes, if the Company meets its
forecasted  operating income target for 2005,  eligible  employees would receive
awards for 2005 service  under the higher  paying of the Profit  Sharing Plan on
the one hand,  or the Employee  Cash  Incentive  Plan or Senior  Executive  Cash
Incentive Plan on the other hand, as the case may be.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation
The  Compensation   Committee   recognizes  the  value  of  long-term  incentive
compensation  that  provides  a benefit  over an  extended  period of time.  The
Compensation  Committee has, from time to time,  used the TIMET Stock  Incentive
Plan to provide long-term  incentives in the form of grants of stock options and
restricted  stock to  executive  officers who are also  employees.  No grants of
stock  options  or  restricted  stock  were  made in 2004.  In the  future,  the
Compensation Committee may also consider using long-term cash incentives tied to
performance or other criteria.

Tax Code Limitation on Executive Compensation Deductions
In 1993,  Congress  amended  the  Internal  Revenue  Code to impose a $1 million
deduction limit on  compensation  paid to the CEO and the four other most highly
compensated   executive  officers  of  public  companies,   subject  to  certain
transition   rules  and  exceptions  for  compensation   received   pursuant  to
non-discretionary   performance-based   plans   approved   by   such   company's
stockholders.  The  Company's  stockholders  previously  approved both the TIMET
Stock  Incentive Plan and the Senior  Executive Cash Incentive Plan in 1997. The
Compensation  Committee  understands  that  payments  made pursuant to the TIMET
Stock  Incentive  Plan qualify for  exemption  from the  deductibility  limit as
"performance-based  compensation,"  but payments made under the Senior Executive
Cash Incentive Plan would not at the present time because of the lack of current
stockholder  approval (the plan must be re-approved by the stockholders at least
every five years).  The Profit Sharing Plan is being  submitted to  stockholders
for their  approval in this Proxy  Statement.  (See Proposal II- Profit  Sharing
Plan.) The  Compensation  Committee  does not  currently  believe that any other
existing  compensation  plan of the Company  could give rise to a  deductibility
limitation at current executive  compensation levels. The Compensation Committee
intends  to  periodically  review  the  compensation  plans  of the  Company  to
determine whether further action in respect of this limitation is warranted.

The  foregoing  report  on  executive  compensation  has been  furnished  by the
Company's  Management  Development  and  Compensation  Committee of the Board of
Directors.

                             AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The  information  contained  in this  report  shall  not be  deemed  "soliciting
material" or "filed" with the SEC, or subject to the  liabilities  of Section 18
of the Exchange Act, except to the extent the Company specifically requests that
the material be treated as soliciting material or specifically incorporates this

Exchange Act.

The Audit  Committee of the  Company's  Board of Directors is comprised of three
directors and operates under a written  charter  adopted by TIMET's  Board.  All
members of the Audit Committee meet the  independence  standards  established by
the  Board,  the NYSE and the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act of 2002.  The  Board  adopted
revisions to the Audit  Committee's  charter in February 2004. The revised Audit
Committee  charter  was  included  as  Appendix  A to the  Company's  2004 Proxy
Statement  and is posted in the Investor  Information  --  Corporate  Governance
section of TIMET's website at www.timet.com.

TIMET's management is responsible for preparing TIMET's  consolidated  financial
statements in accordance with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP"), establishing and maintaining internal control
over  financial  reporting (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule  13a-15(f))  and
evaluating the effectiveness of such internal control over financial  reporting.
TIMET's independent  accountant is responsible for auditing TIMET's consolidated
financial  statements  in accordance  with the  standards of the Public  Company
Accounting  Oversight Board (United States)  (referred to herein as "PCAOB") and
for expressing an opinion on the conformity of TIMET's financial statements with
GAAP.  The  independent  accountant  is also  responsible  for auditing  TIMET's
internal control over financial  reporting in accordance with such standards and
for expressing an opinion on (i) management's assessment of the effectiveness of
its internal control over financial  reporting and (ii) the effectiveness of its
internal control over financial  reporting.  The Audit Committee assists TIMET's
Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee management's implementation of
TIMET's financial  reporting process. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee
reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), TIMET's independent accountant for 2004.

We have met privately with PwC and discussed any issues raised by PwC, including
the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing  Standards No. 61,
Communication  With  Audit  Committee,  as  modified  or  supplemented.  PwC has
provided to the Audit Committee  written  disclosures and the letter required by
Independence  Standards  Board  No.  1,  Independence   Discussions  with  Audit
Committees, as modified or supplemented,  and the Audit Committee discussed with
PwC that firm's  independence.  The Audit  Committee  also  concluded that PwC's
provision of non-audit services to TIMET and its subsidiaries is compatible with
PwC's independence.

Based upon the foregoing  considerations,  the Audit  Committee  recommended  to
TIMET's  Board that the  audited  financial  statements  be  included in TIMET's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2004.

The foregoing report is submitted by members of the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors.

                      INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT MATTERS

Independent Accountant
PwC served as TIMET's  independent  accountant  for the year ended  December 31,
2004 and is expected  to be  appointed  to review  TIMET's  quarterly  unaudited

Form  10-Q for the  first  three  quarters  of 2005,  to  audit  TIMET's  annual
consolidated  financial  statements for the year ending December 31, 2005 and to
audit TIMET's internal control over financial  reporting in accordance with such
standards and for  expressing an opinion on (i)  management's  assessment of the
effectiveness  of its internal  control over  financial  reporting  and (ii) the
effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.  Representatives
of PwC are expected to attend the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity
to make a statement  if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to
appropriate questions.

or payment of such fees to the full Audit  Committee at the first meeting of the
Audit Committee held subsequent to the engagement of the independent  accountant
to provide any of those services.

The  Audit  Committee  requires  the  use of  engagement  letters  prior  to the
engagement of TIMET's independent accountant for many of the foregoing services.
The Audit Committee also prohibits the use of the independent accountant for the
non-audit  related  services  described  under the  terms of the SEC's  rules on
accountant independence.

                                   PROPOSAL II
                               PROFIT SHARING PLAN

General
The Board of Directors  believes that cash incentive  compensation that is based
upon the Company's  financial  results is important both in order to attract and
retain high quality  employees and also to provide  incentives to such employees
to maximize the Company's financial performance and thereby increase stockholder
value.  Consequently,  in December 2004, the Compensation  Committee recommended
and the Board  authorized the 2005 Titanium  Metals  Corporation  Profit Sharing
Plan (the "Profit  Sharing  Plan") to apply to all full-time  employees who meet
the Profit Sharing Plan's eligibility requirements effective January 1, 2005.

In order that payments to certain highly compensated  employees under the Profit
Sharing  Plan  qualify as  "performance-based  compensation"  under the Internal
Revenue Code (referred to herein as the "Tax Code"),  among other criteria,  the
Profit  Sharing  Plan must be approved by  stockholders  of the Company at least
once every  five  years.  The  effect of such  approval  is solely  that  annual
aggregate  compensation  amounts paid to eligible plan participants in excess of
$1 million would qualify for tax  deductibility  by the Company as  compensation
expense.   Consequently,   the  Profit  Sharing  Plan  is  being   presented  to
stockholders for their consideration at the Annual Meeting.

The following summary of the Profit Sharing Plan is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the plan, a copy of which (excluding Schedules) is
attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

Summary Description of Plan
The  individuals  eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Plan will be all
regular  employees  who are employed by the Company or any of its  subsidiaries,
who are  designated  by the  "Relevant  Authority"  (the person or group  having
responsibility  and authority over compensation  matters for certain persons) as
being eligible and who meet the other eligibility  requirements in Section IV of
the plan. Leased employees,  independent contractors,  agents, consultants,  and
other  persons  having a similar  arrangement  with the Company are not eligible
employees under the plan.  Except in the case of an eligible  employee's  death,
disability,  retirement,  active  military leave during the year or otherwise as
required by law or  contract,  in order to be eligible to receive an award under
the plan,  an eligible  employee must be employed by the Company (i) on the last
day of the plan  year for  which  the  award is  earned  and (ii) on the date of
actual  payment  of the award in the  calendar  year  following  the plan  year.
Currently,  five executive officers (the five named executive officers listed in
the  Summary   Compensation   Table  above  not  including   Mr.   Simmons)  and
approximately  1,250  employees who are not  executive  officers are eligible to
participate  in the Profit  Sharing  Plan.  Directors of the Company who are not
also employees are not eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Plan.

Cash awards under the Profit Sharing Plan are based upon the Company's operating
income in a given year and on the performance  rating of an individual  employee
during the year. The Compensation Committee will recommend to the Board, and the
Board will  approve,  a minimum  operating  income  level and maximum  operating
income level for each plan year,  which are generally  expected to be the dollar
equivalent of 4% and 18%,  respectively,  of projected  revenue in the Company's
annual  operating  plan for the plan year,  but are subject to adjustment at the
Board's  discretion.  The minimum  operating income level and maximum  operating
income  level will be announced  to the  employees  as soon as  practical  after
approval.

In addition, each eligible employee will be assigned a minimum payout percentage
and maximum payout  percentage based upon the employee's  salary grade level and
individual  performance rating. The minimum

                                       33


payout  percentage  and maximum payout  percentage for any given  individual (or
group) may be modified by the officers or directors of the Company authorized by
the plan to make the modifications for that individual at any time and from time
to time; provided,  however, that any change to the minimum payout percentage or
maximum payout percentage applicable to any highly-compensated  employee must be
made no later than the  ninetieth  (90th) day of the given plan year.  The Board
shall have no discretion to establish a performance goal that would result in an
award to any highly-compensated  employee that is more than the award that would
have been earned by the highly compensated employee for the plan year based upon
the operating  income targets and  performance  payout  percentages  that are in
effect as of the ninetieth (90th) day of the given plan year.

Awards are then calculated  based upon actual  operating income of the plan year
and individual performance rating as follows:


                                                     

Actual Operating Income in Plan Year                            Award (as percentage of Eligible  Earnings)
------------------------------------                            ------------------------------------------
Less than minimum operating income level                        No award

Equal to or greater than minimum  operating  income             Fully  pro-rated  percentage (rounded to the  nearest
level but less than  maximum  operating  income  level          1/10th of a percent) between  employee's  minimum payout
                                                                percentage and maximum payout   percentage  based  upon
                                                                (i)  the  Company's  actual  operating  income
                                                                performance  between minimum operating income level and
                                                                maximum operating income level and (ii) each employee's
                                                                individual performance rating

Equal to or greater than maximum operating income               Based upon each employee's (i) maximum payout
level                                                           percentage and (ii) individual performance rating


For 2005 only, to transition from the Company's  former  incentive  compensation
plans to the new Profit  Sharing Plan, the Board of Directors has agreed that if
the Company meets the 2005 operating  income target levels approved by the Board
of Directors in the Company's  annual operating plan,  eligible  employees would
receive  awards for 2005 service under the higher  paying of the Profit  Sharing
Plan or the Company's former incentive compensation plans.

The  Compensation  Committee  (or such other  committee as is  designated by the
Board from time to time which  consists of two or more  independent  members who
meet the  requirements  of Section  162(m) of the Tax Code) shall be responsible
for  administration  of the Profit  Sharing  Plan.  Except as may  otherwise  be
required by Section  162(m) of the Tax Code as in effect from time to time,  the
Compensation  Committee,  acting in its sole discretion and without the need for
any  notice,  at any time and from time to time,  may modify or amend the Profit
Sharing  Plan or  suspend or  terminate  such plan in its  entirety,  except any
amendment  that  changes  the  material  terms of the  performance  goals (or as
otherwise required by Section 162(m) of the Tax Code) will be subject to further
approval of the Company's stockholders.

Estimate of New Plan Benefits
Because amounts to be paid under the Profit Sharing Plan are not determinable at
this time,  the table below  provides an estimate of the amounts that would have
been  received  in 2004 if the  plan  had  then  been in  effect  by each of the
following:  (i) each of the  named  executive  officers  listed  in the  Summary
Compensation  Table, (ii) all current executive  officers,  as a group and (iii)
all employees including all current officers who are not executive officers,  as
a group.  In  providing  these  estimates,  the  Company  has  made  assumptions
regarding the minimum  operating income level and maximum operating income level
that  would  have  been  established  by the  Board  of  Directors  for 2004 and
regarding individual performance levels that would have been assessed.

The  affirmative  vote of a majority of the shares of TIMET Common Stock present
(in person or by proxy) and  entitled  to vote at the  meeting is  necessary  to
constitute approval of the Profit Sharing Plan by the stockholders.  Persons and
entities  related to Harold C. Simmons and J. Landis Martin have expressed their
intent to vote the shares of TIMET  Common  Stock  that they hold,  representing
approximately  57.1% of the shares of TIMET Common Stock issued and  outstanding
and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, in favor of the Profit Sharing Plan.
Therefore, if all of such shares are voted as indicated, the Profit Sharing Plan
will be  approved.  The  Board of  Directors  recommends  a vote FOR the  Profit
Sharing Plan.

                     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS

Relationships with Related Parties
As set forth under the headings  "Interests  of Certain  Persons" and  "Security
Ownership of TIMET"  above,  TIMET may be deemed to be  controlled  by Harold C.
Simmons. Other entities that may be deemed to be controlled by or related to Mr.
Simmons including,  without limitation,  CompX,  Contran,  Dixie Holding,  Dixie
Rice, Keystone,  Kronos,  National,  NL, NOA, Southwest,  Tremont LLC, Valhi and
VGI, sometimes engage in (a) intercorporate  transactions with related companies
such as guarantees,  management  and expense  sharing  arrangements,  shared fee
arrangements,  tax sharing  agreements,  joint  ventures,  partnerships,  loans,
options,  advances of funds on open account,  and sales, leases and exchanges of
assets,

                                       35


including  securities  issued by both  related and  unrelated  parties,  and (b)
common   investment   and   acquisition   strategies,   business   combinations,
reorganizations,  recapitalizations,  securities repurchases,  and purchases and
sales (and other  acquisitions and  dispositions) of subsidiaries,  divisions or
other  business  units,  which  transactions  have  involved  both  related  and
unrelated   parties  and  have  included   transactions  that  resulted  in  the
acquisition by one related party of a publicly held, minority equity interest in
another related party. TIMET considers,  reviews and evaluates,  and understands
that  Contran,  Valhi,  Keystone,  NL,  Kronos,  CompX,  Tremont LLC and related
entities also consider,  review and evaluate, such transactions.  Depending upon
the business,  tax and other objectives then relevant, it is possible that TIMET
might be a party to one or more of such  transactions  in the future.  It is the
policy of TIMET to engage in  transactions  with  related  parties on terms that
are, in the opinion of TIMET,  no less favorable to TIMET than could be obtained
from unrelated parties.

The  individuals  listed  below  served  during 2004 as officers or directors on

TIMET  understands  that all such  persons are  expected to continue to serve in
such capacities in 2005. Such individuals  divide their time among the companies
for  which  they  serve as  officers.  Such  management  interrelationships  and
intercorporate  relationships may lead to possible conflicts of interest.  These
possible  conflicts  of  interest  may arise from the duties of loyalty  owed by
persons  acting  as  corporate  fiduciaries  to

                                       36


two or more  companies  under  circumstances  in which such  companies  may have
conflicts of interest.  Prior to the Tremont Merger in 2003,  certain  directors
and  officers  of TIMET  also  served  as  directors  and  officers  of  Tremont
Corporation.

Although  no  specific  procedures  are in place that  govern the  treatment  of
transactions among TIMET, Contran,  Valhi, CompX, Keystone,  Kronos, Tremont LLC
and NL, the board of directors of each of these companies (with the exception of
Contran and Tremont LLC,  which are not public  companies)  includes one or more
independent directors.  Additionally, under applicable principles of law, in the
absence of stockholder  ratification  or approval by directors who may be deemed
disinterested,  transactions  involving  contracts  among companies under common
control  must be fair to all  companies  involved.  Furthermore,  directors  and
officers owe fiduciary  duties of good faith and fair dealing to stockholders of
all the companies for which they serve.

Contractual Relationships
Intercorporate Services Agreements
Under the terms of  various  intercorporate  services  agreements  (referred  to
herein as "ISAs") that TIMET has historically  entered into with various related
parties,  employees of one company  provide  certain  management,  tax planning,
financial,  risk management,  environmental,  administrative,  facility or other
services  to the other  company  on a fee  basis.  Such  charges  are based upon
estimates of the time  devoted by the  employees of the provider of the services
to the affairs of the  recipient  and the  compensation  of such persons and the
cost of  facilities,  equipment or supplies  provided.  These ISAs are regularly
reviewed and approved by the  independent  directors of the  companies  that are
parties to the agreements.

The  Contran  ISA covers the  provision  of services by Contran to TIMET and the
provision  of services by TIMET to Tremont  LLC and NL.  Under the Contran  ISA,
TIMET paid Contran approximately $1.3 million for the Contran services to TIMET,
and TIMET  received a combined $0.1 million from Tremont LLC and NL in 2004. The
Contran ISA has been extended through 2005 on substantially  the same terms, and
TIMET  expects to pay Contran $1.5  million and receive a combined  $0.1 million
from  Tremont  LLC and NL under  the  Contran  ISA in 2005.  See note (7) to the
Summary Compensation Table for information related to the compensation of Harold
C. Simmons for services performed for the Company in 2004.

Investments in Affiliated Entities
During the first nine months of 2004, TIMET, through a wholly-owned  subsidiary,
purchased  2,212,820  shares  of  CompX  Class  A  common  shares,  representing
approximately 14.6% of the total number of shares of all classes of CompX common
stock  outstanding as of the Record Date. The purchases were made in a series of
open market or privately negotiated transactions with unaffiliated parties at an
aggregate  cost of $32.0  million.  At September 30, 2004, NL held an additional
68.4% of CompX.  Effective on October 1, 2004,  TIMET and NL contributed 100% of
their  respective  holdings on that date of all classes of CompX common stock to
CompX Group Inc.  (referred  to herein as "CGI") in return for a 17.6% and 82.4%
ownership interest in CGI, respectively,  and CGI became the holder of the 83.0%
of CompX that the Company and NL had previously held in the aggregate. The CompX
shares are the sole assets of CGI.  TIMET's  shares of CGI are redeemable at the
option of TIMET based upon the market value of the  underlying  CompX stock held
by CGI. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary
purchased an additional  336,700 shares of CompX,  and, as of December 31, 2004,
the Company held  (directly  and through its  investment  in CGI)  approximately
16.8% of the  total  number  of  shares of all  classes  of CompX  common  stock
outstanding.  None of the shares purchased subsequent to September 30, 2004 have
been, nor are expected to be,  contributed to CGI. Harold C. Simmons owns 40,700
shares of CompX Class A common stock, and Mr. Simmons' spouse owns 20,000 shares
of CompX  Class A common  stock.  Glenn R.  Simmons is  Chairman of the Board of
CompX and Steven L. Watson serves on CompX's board of directors.

                                       37


As of the Record Date, TIMET,  through a wholly owned  subsidiary,  has acquired
222,100 shares of the common stock of NL at an aggregate  cost of  approximately
$2.5  million.  Such  shares  represent  less than 1% of the shares of NL common
stock  outstanding.  Valhi is the  direct  holder of  40,305,931  (83.1%) of the
outstanding  shares of common stock of NL.  Harold C. Simmons is Chairman of the
Board and Chief  Executive  Officer  of NL, and Glenn R.  Simmons  and Steven L.
Watson are directors of NL.

As of the Record Date,  TIMET,  through a wholly owned  subsidiary,  owned 3,985
shares of the common stock of Kronos, which it received as a dividends that were
paid by NL on the NL common stock.  Such shares of Kronos common stock represent
less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Kronos' common stock. Valhi and NL are
the direct holders of 27,619,634 (56.4%) and 17,816,761  (36.4%),  respectively,
of the  outstanding  shares of common  stock of  Kronos.  Harold C.  Simmons  is
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Kronos, Steven L. Watson is
Vice Chairman of the Board and Glenn R. Simmons is a director of Kronos.

Utility Services
In connection with the operations of TIMET's Henderson,  Nevada facility,  TIMET
purchases  certain  utility  services  from  Basic  Management,   Inc.  and  its
subsidiaries  (referred  to  collectively  herein as "BMI")  pursuant to various
agreements.  A wholly owned subsidiary of Tremont LLC owns  approximately 32% of
the  outstanding  equity  securities  of BMI  (representing  26%  of the  voting
securities of BMI).  During 2004, fees for such utility services provided by BMI
to TIMET were approximately $2.6 million.

Sale and Lease-back of Real Property
In 2004, TIMET sold certain  property located adjacent to its Henderson,  Nevada
plant site to BMI for $12 million in cash, BMI's assumption of the liability for
certain   environmental   issues   associated   with  the   property  and  other
consideration.  TIMET has  leased  back a  portion  of the  property  for use of
certain  settling  ponds  located on the  property  until the Company  completes
construction of a wastewater treatment facility on its Henderson plant site.

Titanium Dioxide Purchases
From time to time, TIMET purchases titanium dioxide from Kronos.  Such purchases
are made at prevailing  market prices for titanium  dioxide and on an individual
purchase order basis.  During 2004,  TIMET's  purchases of titanium dioxide from
Kronos were at a cost of approximately $132,028.

Environmental Service Agreement
In 2004,  TIMET  entered into an  environmental  services  agreement  with Waste
Control  Specialists,  LLC  (referred  to  herein  as  "WCS").  A  wholly  owned
subsidiary  of Valhi owns 100% of the  membership  interests  in WCS.  Under the
environmental  services agreement,  WCS will provide transportation and disposal
services for soil and sludge removed from portions of TIMET's Henderson,  Nevada
facility. Payments under the agreement are based upon the amount in tons of soil
and sludge  removed,  which is difficult to estimate at this time. In 2004, fees
for WCS services were approximately $258,400. TIMET currently expects to pay WCS
between approximately $915,000 and $1,170,000 for services to be performed under
this agreement, which are expected to be completed in 2005.

Shareholders' Agreement
In 1996, prior to TIMET's initial public offering,  TIMET,  Tremont Corporation,
IMI, Plc and two of its  affiliates,  IMI Kynoch Ltd. and IMI Americas  Inc. who
were the  stockholders  of  TIMET at that  time,  entered  into a  shareholders'
agreement (referred to herein as the "Shareholders' Agreement").  Only TIMET and
Tremont  LLC,  as  successor  to  Tremont  Corporation,  remain  parties  to the
Shareholders'  Agreement.  This agreement provides,  among other things, that so
long as Tremont LLC continues to hold

                                       38


at least 10% of the  outstanding  shares of TIMET Common Stock,  TIMET will not,
without  the  approval  of  Tremont  LLC,  cause or permit  the  dissolution  or
liquidation  of itself or any of its  subsidiaries  or the filing by itself of a
petition in bankruptcy,  or the  commencement  by TIMET of any other  proceeding
seeking relief from its creditors. TIMET also agreed to provide certain periodic
information  about TIMET and its  subsidiaries  to Tremont  LLC,  which right is
subject to confidentiality restrictions.

Registration Rights
Under  the  Shareholders'  Agreement,  Tremont  LLC  (as  successor  to  Tremont
Corporation  and the only  remaining  shareholder  party) is entitled to certain
rights with respect to the  registration  under the Securities Act of the shares
of TIMET  Common  Stock that  Tremont  LLC holds.  The  Shareholders'  Agreement
generally provides, subject to certain limitations, that (i) Tremont LLC has two
rights, only one of which can be on Form S-1, to require TIMET to register under
the  Securities  Act an  amount  of not less  than $25  million  of  registrable
securities,  and (ii) if TIMET  proposes to register  any  securities  under the
Securities  Act  (other  than a  registration  on Form S-4 or Form  S-8,  or any
successor  or similar  form),  whether or not  pursuant to  registration  rights
granted to other holders of its  securities  and whether or not for sale for its
own  account,  Tremont  LLC has the right to  require  TIMET to  include in such
registration  the  registrable  securities  held by Tremont LLC or its permitted
transferees  so long as  Tremont  LLC holds in  excess of 5% of the  outstanding
shares  of  TIMET  Common  Stock  (or to sell  the  entire  balance  of any such
registrable  securities even though less than 5%). TIMET is obligated to pay all
registration  expenses in connection with a registration under the Shareholders'
Agreement. Under certain circumstances,  the number of shares included in such a
registration  may be limited.  TIMET has agreed to indemnify  the holders of any
registrable securities to be covered by a registration statement pursuant to the
Shareholders'  Agreement, as well as the holders' directors and officers and any
underwriters  and  selling  agents,   against  certain  liabilities,   including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

Insurance Matters
TIMET  participates  in a combined  risk  management  program  with  Contran and
certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. Pursuant to the program, Contran and
certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including TIMET, purchase certain of
their  insurance  policies  as a group,  with the  costs  of the  jointly  owned
policies  being  apportioned  among  the  participating  companies.  Tall  Pines
Insurance  Company  ("Tall  Pines")  (including a predecessor  company,  Valmont
Insurance  Company)  and  EWI RE,  Inc.  ("EWI")  provide  for or  broker  these
insurance policies. Tall Pines is a wholly owned subsidiary of Valhi, and EWI is
a wholly owned  subsidiary  of NL. A son-in-law  of Harold C. Simmons  serves as
EWI's chairman of the board and chief executive officer and is compensated as an
employee of EWI.  Consistent with insurance industry  practices,  Tall Pines and
EWI receive  commissions  from insurance and  reinsurance  underwriters  for the
policies that they provide or broker.

During 2004,  TIMET and its  subsidiaries  paid premiums of  approximately  $2.3
million  for  policies  Tall  Pines  provided  or  EWI  brokered.   This  amount
principally  included  payments for reinsurance  and insurance  premiums paid to
unrelated third parties,  but also included  commissions  paid to Tall Pines and
EWI.  TIMET  expects  that  these  relationships  with  Tall  Pines and EWI will
continue in 2005.

With respect to certain of such jointly owned insurance policies, it is possible
that  unusually  large losses  incurred by one or more  insureds  during a given
policy period could leave the other  participating  companies  without  adequate
coverage  under that policy for the balance of the policy  period.  As a result,
Contran,  CompX,  Keystone,  Kronos,  NL,  Valhi and TIMET,  entered into a loss
sharing  agreement in 2003,  under which any  uninsured  loss is shared by those
entities who have submitted claims under the relevant policy.

                                       39


TIMET Executive Stock Ownership Loan Plan
Under TIMET's  Executive Stock Ownership Loan Plan,  approved by the TIMET Board
of  Directors  in 1998 and the TIMET  stockholders  in 2000,  TIMET's  executive
officers were entitled to borrow funds to purchase  TIMET Common Stock or to pay
taxes payable with respect to vesting  shares of TIMET  restricted  stock.  Each
executive could borrow up to 50% of his or her base salary per calendar year and
200% of such base salary in the aggregate.  Interest  accrues at a rate equal to
.0625% per annum above TIMET's effective borrowing rate at the time of the loan,
subject to annual adjustment,  and is payable quarterly.  The effective interest
rate  in 2004  was  3.2825%.  Principal  was  repayable  in  five  equal  annual
installments  commencing on the sixth anniversary of the loan.  Repayment of the
loans was secured by the stock purchased with the loan proceeds or the stock for
which loan  proceeds were used to pay taxes.  The loans were "full  recourse" to
the  executive  personally,  except  that  in the  case  of a sale of all of the
collateral  by TIMET  upon an event of default  or upon the  termination  of the
executive's employment,  whether for cause or otherwise, the borrower's personal
liability for  repayment of the loan was limited to 70% of the principal  amount
remaining after sale and application of the proceeds from the sale of the stock.
TIMET  terminated  this program  effective July 30, 2002,  subject to continuing
only those loans outstanding at that time in accordance with their  then-current
terms.  The following table  identifies the executive  officers of TIMET who are
identified  in the Summary  Compensation  Table  above and who were  indebted to
TIMET  under this  program  during  2004,  which debt was re-paid on December 2,
2004:

             SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires TIMET's executive officers,
directors, and persons who own beneficially more than 10% of a registered class
of TIMET's equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the SEC and TIMET. Based solely on a review of copies of the
Section 16(a) reports furnished to TIMET and written representations by certain
reporting persons, TIMET believes that all of TIMET's executive officers,
directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners filed on a timely basis all
reports required during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31,
2004, except that, (i) Dr. Gary C. Hutchison filed a Form 4 on June 29, 2004
that reported one sale of TIMET Common Stock on March 24, 2004 and (ii) Harold
C. Simmons filed a Form 4 on January 10, 2005 that reported a series of
twenty-seven transactions by his spouse in TIMET Common Stock occurring from
February 14, 2003 to February 27, 2004.

                  STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2006 ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholders may submit proposals on matters  appropriate for stockholder action
at TIMET's annual  stockholder  meetings,  consistent  with rules adopted by the
SEC. Such  proposals must be received by TIMET no later than December 4, 2005 to
be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to
the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Any such proposals should be addressed
to: Corporate Secretary, Titanium Metals Corporation, 1999 Broadway, Suite 4300,
Denver, Colorado 80202.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

The  Board  of  Directors  knows  of  no  other  business  to be  presented  for
consideration  at the Annual Meeting.  If any other matters properly come before
the Annual Meeting,  the persons designated as agents in the enclosed proxy card
or voting  instruction  form will vote on such matters in accordance  with their
best judgment.

                  2004 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K; HOUSEHOLDING

TIMET's  2004  Annual  Report on Form  10-K,  as filed with the SEC on March 16,
2005, is included as a part of TIMET's 2004 Annual Report which is included with
this mailing.  Additional copies of such documents are available to stockholders
without charge upon request by telephone  (303-296-5600) or in writing (Investor
Relations Department,  Titanium Metals Corporation,  1999 Broadway,  Suite 4300,
Denver, Colorado 80202).

The SEC has  adopted  rules that permit  companies  and  intermediaries  such as
brokers to satisfy the delivery  requirements  for proxy statements with respect
to two or more security  holders sharing the same address by delivering a single
proxy  statement  addressed to those security  holders.  This process,  which is
commonly referred to as "householding,"  potentially means extra convenience for
stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account  holders who are TIMET  stockholders
will be "householding" TIMET's proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be
delivered  to  multiple   stockholders   sharing  an  address  unless   contrary
instructions  have been received from the affected  stockholders.  Once you have
received   notice   from  your   broker  or  from  TIMET  that  either  will  be
"householding"  communications  to your  address,  "householding"  will continue
until you are  notified  otherwise or until you revoke your  consent.  If at any
time, you no longer wish to participate  in  "householding"  and would prefer to
receive a separate proxy statement,  or if you currently receive multiple copies
of the proxy statement at your address and would like to request  "householding"
of Company communications, please notify your broker if your shares are not held
directly in your name.  If you own your shares  directly  rather than  through a
brokerage  account,  you should  direct your  written  request to the  Corporate
Secretary,  Titanium  Metals  Corporation,  1999 Broadway,  Suite 4300,  Denver,
Colorado 80202 or contact the Corporate Secretary by phone at 303-296-5600 or by
fax at 303-291-2990.

IV.  ELIGIBILITY

Except in the case of an  Eligible  Employee's  death,  Disability,  Retirement,
active  military  leave  during the Plan Year or otherwise as required by law or
contract,  in order to be eligible to receive a  Performance-Based  Compensation
Award under the Plan,  an Eligible  Employee must be employed by the Company (i)
on the last day of the Plan Year and (ii) on the date of actual  payment  of the
Performance-Based  Compensation  Award in the calendar  year  following the Plan
Year. Performance-Based Compensation Awards will be payable annually in a single
cash payment,  which will be made, at the discretion of the Company's management
with regard to timing but generally no later than March 15 of the year following
a Plan Year (subject to completion of the company's  audit for a given Plan Year
and the certification  required by Section VI below).  However,  in the event an
Eligible  Employee  is not  employed  on the last day of the Plan Year or on the
date of  actual  payment  of the  Performance-Based  Compensation  Award  in the
calendar year following the Plan Year because of such Eligible Employee's death,
Disability,   Retirement   or  active   military   leave,   any   payment  of  a
Performance-Based  Compensation Award made in accordance with Section V shall be
paid to the Eligible  Employee's  estate or to the Eligible Employee at the time
the  other  Performance-Based  Compensation  Awards  are paid to other  Eligible
Employees under the Plan.

V.   Setting  of  Performance   Goals  and   Calculation  of   Performance-Based
     Compensation Awards

     (a)  Performance-Based   Compensation   Awards   shall  be  based   upon  a
          combination  of  the  Company's   Operating  Income  and  an  Eligible
          Employee's  individual  performance  rating  during each Plan Year. No
          Performance-Based   Compensation   Awards  shall  be  payable  if  the
          Company's  Operating Income is less than the Minimum  Operating Income
          Level.  Performance-Based  Compensation Awards shall be payable solely
          in accordance with the schedules determined and published from time to
          time  by  the  Relevant   Authority.   Provided,   however,   that  no
          Performance-Based  Compensation  Award for any Eligible Employee shall
          exceed $3,000,000 for a Plan Year.

     (b)  The Compensation  Committee will recommend to the Board, and the Board
          will approve, the Minimum Operating Income Level and Maximum Operating
          Income Level for the Plan Year which are generally  expected to be the
          dollar equivalent of 4% and 18%, respectively, of projected revenue in
          the  Annual  Operating  Plan for the Plan  Year,  but are  subject  to
          adjustment at the Board's  discretion.  The Minimum  Operating  Income
          Level and Maximum  Operating  Income  Level will be  announced  to the
          Eligible Employees as soon as practical after approval.

     (c)  Each Eligible  Employee will be assigned a Minimum  Payout  Percentage
          and Maximum Payout  Percentage based upon such employee's salary grade
          level and individual  performance  rating.  Schedule A attached hereto
          and incorporated  herein by reference  contains the Payout Percentages
          for all  Eligible  Employees  that shall be effective as of January 1,
          2005. The Minimum Payout  Percentage or Maximum Payout  Percentage for
          any given  individual  (or  group)  may be  modified  by the  Relevant
          Authority at any time and from time to time; provided,  however,  that
          any  change  to  the  Minimum  Payout  Percentage  or  Maximum  Payout
          Percentage applicable to any Highly-Compensated  Employee must be made
          no later than the ninetieth (90th) day of the given Plan Year.

     (d)  The Board shall have no  discretion  to establish a  performance  goal
          that would  result in a  Performance-Based  Compensation  Award to any
          Highly-Compensated  Employee  that is more than the  Performance-Based
          Compensation   Award   that   would   have   been   earned   by   such
          Highly-Compensated Employee for such Plan Year based upon the Schedule
          A in effect as of the ninetieth (90th) day of the given Plan Year.

                                      A-3


     (e)  Performance-Based Compensation Awards shall be calculated as follows:


                                                           

     Actual Operating Income in Plan Year                     Award (as percentage of Eligible Earnings)

     Less than Minimum Operating Income Level                 No award

     Equal to or greater than Minimum Operating               Fully pro-rated percentage (rounded to the
     Income Level but less than Maximum Operating             nearest 1/10th of a percent) between Eligible
     Income Level                                             Employee's Minimum Payout Percentage
                                                              and Maximum Payout Percentage based Operating Income
                                                              performance between Minimum Operating Income
                                                              Level and Maximum Operating Income
                                                              Level and (ii) each Eligible Employee's
                                                              individual performance rating

     Equal to or greater than Maximum  Operating Income       Based upon each Eligible  Employee's (i) Maximum
     Level                                                    Payout    Percentage    and   (ii)    individual
                                                              performance rating


An example illustrating the calculation of Performance-Based Compensation Awards
is included at Schedule B attached hereto.

VI.  Certification by Compensation Committee

Notwithstanding   any  other   provision  of  the  Plan  to  the  contrary,   no
Performance-Based  Compensation  Award may be paid to an Eligible Employee under
the Plan until the Compensation  Committee certifies in writing that the Company
has achieved an Operating Income at least equal to the Minimum  Operating Income
Level set in  accordance  with  Section  V(b)  above,  and that all of the other
conditions  under  the Plan for  payment  of the award  have  been met.  For the
purposes of this Section,  the approved  minutes of the  Compensation  Committee
meeting  in which  the  certification  is made  shall be  treated  as a  written
certification.

VII. Administration

     (a)  The Plan shall be  administered  by the  Compensation  Committee.  The
          Compensation   Committee   shall  have  full  authority  to  construe,
          interpret and administer  the Plan  consistent  with the  Compensation
          Committee's  Charter  in  effect  from  time  to  time  and  with  the
          limitations set forth in this Plan document.  For such  administrative
          purposes,  the  Compensation  Committee  shall  act by  the  unanimous
          consent of all of its members. If any administrative  matter under the
          Plan would constitute or involve action affecting the award to be made
          to a Highly-Compensated Employee, such matter shall be administered by
          members of the Board who constitute  "outside" directors under Section
          162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

     (b)  The Compensation  Committee shall have the authority to amend the Plan
          at any time without notice,  provided that any amendment which changes
          the material terms (as defined by applicable law or regulation) of the
          performance goals applicable to any Highly-Compensated

                                      A-4


     Employee  shall be subject to the approval of the  Company's  shareholders.
     The Relevant  Authority may revise the terms of the  performance  goals set
     forth in Schedule A which must be met before Performance-Based Compensation
     Awards  may be  paid  under  the  Plan;  provided,  however,  that  revised
     performance  goals  applicable to any  Highly-Compensated  Employee must be
     approved by the  stockholders  of the  Company  before  such  amendment  is
     effective.  The material  terms of a performance  goal shall be approved by
     stockholders  if, in a separate  vote, a majority of the shares present (in
     person or by proxy) and  entitled to vote on the issue are cast in favor of
     approval. The Compensation Committee shall have the authority to suspend or
     terminate the Plan at any time without notice.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS

     (a)  The Plan is not a contract of employment. No term of the Plan shall be
          construed  to restrict the right of the Company to terminate or change
          the terms of any Eligible  Employee's  employment  with the Company at
          any time or to confer on any  Eligible  Employee the right to continue
          in the employ of the Company for any period of time or to continue any
          Eligible  Employee's  present  or any other rate of  compensation.  No
          Eligible Employee shall have any right to future  participation in the
          Plan.

     (b)  No right or  interest  of any  Eligible  Employee in the Plan shall be
          assignable or  transferable  or be subject to any lien,  directly,  by
          operation  of  law,  or  otherwise,   including  by  execution,  levy,
          garnishment, attachment, pledge, or bankruptcy.

     (c)  The Company shall have the right to deduct from all payments under the
          Plan any foreign,  federal, state or local taxes required by law to be
          withheld with respect to any such payments.

     (d)  This instrument contains the entire understanding  between the Company
          and the Eligible  Employees  participating in the Plan relating to the
          Plan, and supersedes any prior agreement between the parties,  whether
          written or oral.  Neither this Plan nor any  provision of the Plan may
          be  waived,  modified,  amended,  changed,  discharged  or  terminated
          without  action  by  the  Compensation  Committee  or  the  Board,  as
          appropriate.

     (e)  This Plan shall be construed in accordance with, and shall be governed
          by the internal  laws of the State of Colorado  without  regard to the
          conflict of laws provisions thereof.

     (f)  To the extent that any one or more of the provisions of the Plan shall
          be invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  in any respect,  the validity,
          legality and  enforceability of the remaining  provisions shall not in
          any way be affected or impaired.

     (g)  The section headings are for convenience only and shall not be used in
          interpreting or construing the Plan.
