On January 18, 2000 the last outstanding stock option issued under the
Valhi, Inc. 1990 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") was fully

shares of the registrant's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), to be issued pursuant to the Plan. Upon the termination of the Plan,
