OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 25, 2018--
LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE:LXU) (“LSB”) today announced the completion
of its previously announced private offering of $400 million in
aggregate principal amount of its 9.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2023
(the “Notes”) and the settlement of the previously announced cash tender
offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of LSB’s outstanding 8.50%
Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (CUSIP No. 502160AL8) (the “Existing
Notes”).
The Notes were issued at a price equal to 99.509% of their face value. A
portion of the net proceeds from the offering was used to purchase
$337,525,000 aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes pursuant
to the Tender Offer, representing 100% of the Existing Notes validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Tender Offer deadline.
Following the completion of the Tender Offer, the remaining net proceeds
from the offering will be used to redeem $37,475,000 in aggregate
principal amount of the Existing Notes, representing all of the Existing
Notes outstanding following the completion of the Tender Offer, to pay
related transaction fees, expenses and premiums and, to the extent of
any remaining net proceeds, for general corporate purposes.
On April 25, 2018, following the completion of the offering of the Notes
and the Tender Offer, LSB issued an irrevocable notice of redemption for
the remaining Existing Notes at a redemption price equal to 101.938% of
the Existing Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest to
but excluding the redemption date of May 25, 2018.
Also on April 25, 2018, LSB satisfied and discharged its obligations
under the indenture governing the Existing Notes by irrevocably
depositing with the trustee for the Existing Notes funds sufficient to
redeem the Existing Notes in full and to pay related fees and expenses.
The Notes were sold pursuant to Rule 144A and/or Section 4(a)(2) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to
eligible purchasers in the United States and to non-U.S. persons outside
of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Notes and the guarantees thereof have not been registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption
from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. This press release is neither an offer
to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other
securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in
any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
