                1.01
Entry
                into a Material Definitive
                Agreement.
On
      October 16, 2007, TIMET Finance Management Company, a Delaware corporation
      of
      which the registrant is the sole stockholder ("
TFMC
"), entered into a
      Stock Purchase Agreement (the "
Stock Purchase Agreement
") with CompX
      International Inc., a Delaware corporation related to the registrant
      ("
CompX
").  The Stock Purchase Agreement provides for the
      sale to CompX of 483,600 shares of CompX's class A common stock, par value $0.01
      per share ("
CompX Class A Common Stock
"), for a purchase price of
      $19.50 per share to be paid in the form of an unsecured subordinated term loan
      promissory note in the original principal amount of $9,430,200 payable by CompX
      to TFMC (the "
Stock Purchase Promissory Note
").  The Stock
      Purchase Agreement provides for a closing date on the same day as the merger
      (the "
Merger
") of CompX Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation that is a
      parent of CompX and of which TFMC is a stockholder ("
CGI
"), with and
      into CompX KDL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which CompX is
      the
      sole member ("
CompX KDL
").  When issued, the Stock Purchase
      Promissory Note would:
·
mature
                in seven years;
·
bear
                interest at a rate of LIBOR plus
                1.00%;
·
require
                quarterly principal payments of $44,800 beginning on September 30,
                2008;
·
not
                have prepayment penalties; and
·
be
                subordinated to the Credit Agreement dated as of December 23, 2005
                (the
                "
CompX Credit Agreement
") among CompX, CompX Security Products,
                Inc., CompX Precision Slides Inc., CompX Marine Inc., Custom Marine
                Inc.,
                Livorsi Marine Inc., Wachovia Bank, National Association as administrative
                agent for itself, Compass Bank and Comerica
                Bank.
Also
      on
      October 16, 2007, CompX, CGI and CompX KDL entered into an Agreement and Plan
      of
      Merger (the "
Merger Agreement
").  NL Industries, Inc., a New
      Jersey corporation that is an indirect parent of CompX and related to the
      registrant ("
NL
"), and TFMC are the only stockholders of
      CGI.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the effectiveness of the
      Merger:
·
CGI
                would merge into CompX KDL with CompX KDL surviving the
                Merger;
·
each
                share of the CGI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
                Merger
                would automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to
                exist;
·
2,586,820
                shares of CompX Class A Common Stock and 10.0 million shares of CompX
                class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "
CompX Class B
                Common Stock
"), owned by CGI immediately prior to Merger would
                automatically be canceled;
·
TFMC
                would receive an unsecured subordinated term loan promissory note
                (the
                "
Merger Promissory Note
") executed by CompX payable to the order
                of TFMC in the original principal amount of $43,149,990 that would
                have
                similar terms as the Stock Purchase Promissory Note;
                and
·
CompX
                would issue to NL 374,000 new shares of CompX Class A Common Stock
                (the
                "
New CompX Class A Shares
") and 10,000,000 new shares of CompX
                Class B Common Stock (the "
New CompX Class B
                Shares
").
The
      Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction of all applicable material
      regulatory approvals, including the approval for listing upon official notice
      of
      issuance by the New York Stock Exchange of the issuance of the New CompX Class
      A
      Shares and 10,000,000 shares of CompX Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance
      upon the conversion of the New CompX Class B Shares.
Effective
      with the issuance of the Stock Purchase Promissory Note and the Merger
      Promissory Note and their prompt combination into one note (the "
Combined
      Note
"), TFMC will enter into a Subordination Agreement with CompX, CompX
      Security Products, Inc., CompX Precision Slides Inc., CompX Marine Inc., Custom
      Marine Inc., Livorsi Marine Inc., Wachovia Bank, National Association, as
      administrative agent for itself, Compass Bank and Comerica Bank (the
"
Subordination Agreement
") whereby TFMC would
·
agree
                that CompX's obligations under the Combined Note would be subordinate to
                CompX's obligations under the Credit Agreement;
                and
·
grant
                to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for
                itself, Compass Bank and Comerica Bank, a security interest in the
                Combined Note to the extent of the outstanding principal and accrued
                interest due thereon.
The
      independent directors of the registrant and CompX approved the Stock Purchase
      Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Subordination Agreement.
