EXPLANATORY NOTE

On April 25, 2019, Tronox Holdings plc (the “Company”) filed its Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) and the related Proxy Card (the “Proxy Card”) for the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Proxy Statement was filed in connection with the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 22, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”). This supplement to the Proxy Statement and Proxy Card is being filed to add a new Proposal 4 that is soliciting a non-binding, advisory vote from Company shareholders on the frequency with which the Company’s shareholders shall have an advisory say-on-pay vote on compensation paid to our named executive officers (“Proposal 4”). Proposal 4 was inadvertently omitted from the Proxy Statement and Proxy Card when originally filed with the SEC and this filing corrects that omission. Other than the addition of Proposal 4 to the Proxy Statement, the Proxy Card and the Notice of Annual Meeting, no other changes have been made to the Proxy Statement or the Proxy Card and they continue to be in full force and effect as originally filed and continue to seek the vote of Company shareholders for the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this supplement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Proxy Statement. This supplement should be read together with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety.

This Proxy Statement Supplement (the “Supplement”) supplements and amends the original definitive proxy statement of Tronox Holdings plc (the “Company”, “we”, or “our”), which was filed with the SEC on April 25, 2019 (the “Proxy Statement”), for the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to (i) add a new Proposal 4 to the Proxy Statement that provides for a non-binding, advisory vote of Company shareholders on the frequency with which the Company’s shareholders shall have the advisory say-on-pay vote on compensation paid to our named executive officers (“Proposal 4”) and (ii) update the Notice of Annual Meeting to add the new Proposal 4. The Annual Meeting is being held at the Stamford Marriott located at 243 Tresser Boulevard, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. (U.S. Eastern Daylight Time).

This Supplement relates to the new Proposal 4 to be considered by shareholders at the Annual Meeting and does not provide all of the information that is important to your decisions with respect to voting on all of the proposals that are being presented to shareholders for their vote at the Annual Meeting. Additional information is contained in the Proxy Statement. To the extent that the information in this Supplement differs from, updates or conflicts with the information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this Supplement shall amend and supersede the information in the Proxy Statement. Except as so amended or superseded, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged and important for you to review. Accordingly, we urge you to read this Supplement carefully and in its entirety together with the Proxy Statement. If you would like to receive another copy of the Proxy Statement, please contact the Company by telephone at +1 (203) 705-3800 or by mail at Tronox Holdings plc, 263 Tresser Boulevard, Suite 1100, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, Attention: Investor Relations.

This Supplement relates to the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) for use at the Annual Meeting. This Supplement, the updated Notice of Annual Meeting attached hereto as Appendix A and a revised proxy card (the "Revised Proxy Card") are being distributed or made available to shareholders beginning on or about May 1, 2019.

We urge shareholders of record to vote on all four proposals by submitting a Revised Proxy Card. If you return an executed Revised Proxy Card without marking your instructions with regard to the matters to be acted upon, the proxy holders will vote “FOR” the election of director nominees set forth in the Proxy Statement, “FOR” the approval of Proposals 2 and 3, and “1 YEAR” on Proposal 4.

If you have already voted and do not submit a Revised Proxy Card, your previously submitted proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting with respect to Proposals 1, 2 and 3 but will not be counted in determining the outcome of Proposal 4.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU SUBMIT A REVISED PROXY CARD IT WILL REVOKE ALL
PROXY CARDS PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO INDICATE YOUR VOTE
ON EACH PROPOSAL ON THE REVISED PROXY CARD.

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED UPON BY SHAREHOLDERS

Information contained in this Supplement relates to Proposal 4 that will be presented to shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Information regarding Proposals 1, 2 and 3 that will be presented to shareholders at the Annual Meeting can be found in the Proxy Statement as originally filed with the SEC on April 25, 2019.

Quorum Requirements and Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes.

A plurality of votes cast will be used to determine the results of the non-binding advisory vote on Proposal 4. Holders of our shares present at the Annual Meeting but that abstain from voting on Proposal 4 are not treated as votes cast. Therefore, such abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal 4. Abstentions and broker non-votes, however, are counted towards establishing a quorum for the Annual Meeting. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the proposal is not a routine matter, and the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. All items on this year’s ballot are

“non-routine” matters under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules except ratification of our existing independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3). Our Articles of Association require that a quorum of shareholders—the holders of a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting—be present or represented by proxy to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Any shareholder that is a shareholder of record may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorize such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at the Annual Meeting and the person so authorized shall (on production at the Annual Meeting of a certified copy of such resolution) be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual shareholder of Tronox Holdings plc.

Although abstentions and broker non-votes count as “shares present” at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, they will not be counted as votes in favor of or against the election of the Director nominees or other proposals. Accordingly, under NYSE rules, a depository cannot cast a vote in favor of or against the election of Director nominees (Proposal 1), the advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal 2), or this Proposal 4, absent instruction from the underlying beneficial owner.

Revocation of Proxies

Shareholders of record may revoke their proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by either:

•

Submitting another timely, later-dated proxy by mail;

•

Delivering timely written notice of revocation to our Secretary in accordance with our Articles of Association; or,

•

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. If your ordinary shares are held beneficially in street-name, you may revoke your proxy by following the instructions provided by your broker, trustee, nominee or depositary, as applicable.

PROPOSAL 4 – ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF VOTING ON THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), shareholders are being given the opportunity to vote on an advisory (non-binding) resolution at the Annual Meeting to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers (the “say-on-pay” advisory vote in “Proposal 2—Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote on Executive Compensation.” Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, at the Annual Meeting, we are also asking shareholders to vote on whether future “say-on-pay” advisory votes on executive compensation should occur every 1, 2 or 3 years. Our shareholders voted on a similar proposal at our annual meeting of shareholders in 2013, with a majority of the votes cast voting to hold the say-on-pay vote every year. Since 2013, we have held the say-on-pay vote at every annual meeting, including this Annual Meeting.

The Board recommends to the shareholders of the Company that they vote for the option of every one year as the preferred frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation. The determination was based upon the premise that executive compensation is evaluated, adjusted and approved on an annual basis by the Board of Directors upon a recommendation from the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and the belief that investor sentiment should be a factor taken into consideration by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee in making its annual recommendation.

While the Board of Directors recommends a “say-on-pay” vote every one year, shareholders will be able to specify one of three choices for this proposal on the proxy card: 1, 2 or 3 years. Shareholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board of Directors’ recommendation.

Although this vote is advisory and is not binding, the Board and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and will take into account the outcome of the vote in considering the frequency of future “say-on-pay” advisory votes.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote for every “1 YEAR” on Proposal 4, on an advisory basis.
