FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LSB INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNOUNCES PRICING OF ITS

$35 MILLION PRIVATE OFFERING OF SENIOR NOTES

NET PROCEEDS EXPECTED TO BE USED FOR $20 MILLION IN ANTICIPATED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

INTENDED TO ENHANCE MARGINS

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – June 18, 2019 – LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE: LXU) (“LSB”) today announced that it priced its previously announced offering of $35 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), which will be sold in a private placement to eligible purchasers. The Notes constitute a further issuance of the 9.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, of which $400 million aggregate principal amount was issued on April 25, 2018. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of LSB’s existing subsidiaries and by certain of LSB’s future domestic wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Notes will bear an annual rate of interest of 9.625% and will mature on May 1, 2023. The Notes will be issued at a price equal to 102.125% of their face value plus accrued interest from May 1, 2019 to the date of delivery. The Notes and the guarantees will be secured, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, (a) on a first-priority basis by a substantial portion of LSB’s and the guarantors’ assets (other than the assets securing LSB’s working capital revolver loan), and (b) on a second-priority basis by certain of LSB’s and the guarantors’ assets that secure LSB’s working capital revolver loan on a first-priority basis, including accounts receivable, inventory, and certain other related assets and proceeds thereof. The closing of this private offering is expected to occur on June 21, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.

LSB intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund approximately $20 million in anticipated capital expenditures over the next 12-18 months that are intended to enhance its margins, which may include product loading and unloading improvements, tank storage, capital to facilitate guest plant opportunities and efficiency projects to reduce fixed costs. The remaining net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

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. The Notes and the guarantees thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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. The Notes are being offered in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release is being issued in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
