Introduction

This statement constitutes Amendment No. 52 to the Schedule 13D dated October 7, 1985 (as amended through Amendment No. 51, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, par value $.10 per share (“Common Stock”) of LSB Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3503 NW 63rd Street, Suite 500, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73116. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 52 shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 52 is being filed jointly by Jack E. Golsen (“J. Golsen”), Barry H. Golsen (“B. Golsen”), Steven J. Golsen (“S. Golsen”), Golsen Family, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“GFLLC”), Quad Capital, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Quad Capital”), SBL, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“SBL”), and Golsen Petroleum Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (“GPC”)(each of J. Golsen, B. Golsen, S. Golsen, GFLLC, Quad Capital, SBL and GPC are referred to herein as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons”), who may be deemed to beneficially own certain shares of the Common Stock of the Company. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 52 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

Pursuant to the transactions described in Item 2 hereof, this Amendment 52 is being filed to report the following:

 

  (i)

The departure of J. Golsen and B. Golsen (together, the “Departing Group Members”) as members of the “Golsen Group,” the members of which previously reported as a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As previously constituted, the Golsen Group consisted of the Departing Group Members, GFLLC, SBL, and GPC, who jointly reported under this Schedule 13D pursuant to a Joint Filing Statement dated September 20, 2007, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 34 of the Schedule 13D, as amended by (a) a Joint Filing Statement dated December 29, 2008 and filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Amendment No. 38 of the Schedule 13D, and (b) a Notification of Departure from Group and Partial Termination of Joint Filing Statements dated November 3, 2016, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Amendment No. 50 of the Schedule 13D;

 

  (ii)

The change in beneficial ownership of the Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by J. Golsen and B. Golsen as a result of the resignation of J. Golsen and B. Golsen as the managers, directors, and/or officers of Quad Capital, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC. As a result of such resignations and the departure of J. Golsen and B. Golsen from the Golsen Group, the beneficial ownership of such persons in the Company’s Common Stock is less than 5%, and, consequently, such persons will no longer be subject to the filing requirements of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, unless and until such persons’ respective beneficial ownership of Common Stock exceeds 5%; and

 

  (iii)

The addition of S. Golsen to the Golsen Group as a result of his appointment as manager, director and/or officer of Quad Capital, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC, and the beneficial ownership of S. Golsen in the Company’s Common Stock; and

 

Page 9 of 18 Pages


  (iv)

The addition of Quad Capital to the Golsen Group as a result of its indirect beneficial ownership in the Company’s Common Stock through its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries SBL and GPC.

As a result of the resignations on January 4, 2021 of J. Golsen and B. Golsen as managers, directors, and/or officers of Quad Capital, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC, and their departure as members of the Golsen Group, the appointment on such date of S. Golsen as manager, director and/or officer of such entities and the addition of S. Golsen and Quad Capital as members of the Golsen Group, the Golsen Group may be deemed to beneficially own at such date an aggregate of 2,874,945 shares of Common Stock (including 916,666 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of certain shares of preferred stock held by the Golsen Group), representing approximately 9.51% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The numbers shown on the preceding pages and in Item 5 below reflect multiple counting of certain shares since beneficial ownership of those shares is attributable to more than one Reporting Person by Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as further described in Item 5 below.

Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

Item 1 of this Schedule 13D is unchanged.

 

Item 2.

Item 2 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended to remove each of the Departing Group Members as a filing person of this joint filing Schedule 13D and member of the “Golsen Group,” previously comprised of J. Golsen, B. Golsen, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC. On January 4, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), each of the Departing Group Members, together with each of the other Reporting Persons, executed a Joint Filing Statement and Notification of Departure from Group (the “Joint Filing Statement and Notification”), pursuant to which the Departing Group Members, although joining in this Amendment No. 52 for the purpose of filing jointly, represented that each such person, as of the Effective Date, was no longer acting together with each other or with any other person, including the other Reporting Persons, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company. Additionally, pursuant to the Joint Filing Statement and Notification, S. Golsen and Quad Capital were added to the “Golsen Group.” As a result, as of the Effective Date, the “Golsen Group” consists of S. Golsen, Quad Capital, GFLLC, SBL, and GPC. The Joint Filing Statement and Notification is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The percentage ownership of each Reporting Person is based on 29,317,168 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 30, 2020, as reported in LSB Industries, Inc.’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Shares of Common Stock not outstanding, but which may be acquired by a Reporting Person during the next 60 days under options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges, are considered to be outstanding only for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class for such Reporting Person, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class by any other person.

The filing of the Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons, as amended by this Amendment No. 52, is not an admission that any Reporting Person, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock included in this Schedule 13D in which such Reporting Person does not have any ownership and economic interest.

 

  (9)

On January 4, 2021, J. Golsen and B. Golsen resigned as managers, directors and/or officers of Quad Capital, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC, and S. Golsen was appointed as manager, director, and/or officer of each such entity. As a result of such actions, J. Golsen and B. Golsen no longer have voting or dispositive control of any of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by such entities, while S. Golsen shares with each such entity voting and dispositive control of the Common Stock beneficially owned by such entities.

 

  (c)

On December 31, 2020, J. Golsen and a trust controlled by him (“JEG Trust”) transferred 100% of the interest owned by JEG Trust in Quad Capital and GFLLC (the “JEG Interests”) to separate trusts established for the benefit of Mr. Golsen’s three children (collectively, the “Estate Planning Transfers”). Each trust (each, a “Transferee” and, collectively, the “Transferees”) received one-third of the interests transferred by the JEG Trust. The Estate Planning Transfers were made solely for estate planning purposes to take advantage of certain estate tax exclusion amounts available under Section 2010(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “JEG Exclusion Amount”), and were made in part as gifts for fair market value (“FMV”) up to the value of the JEG Exclusion Amount, with the remaining JEG Interests, if any, transferred for FMV to the Transferees. Determination of FMV, to be made by an independent valuation firm, will determine the allocation of the transfers as gift or other than gift transactions.

The Estate Planning Transfers were made outside the Company’s open trading window, as described in the Insider Trading Policy of the Corporation, as in effect since May 2, 2019 (the “Policy”), under a “Special Circumstances Exception” described in a letter to J. Golsen, individually and as trustee of the JEG Trust, dated December 31, 2020 (the “Exception Letter”), filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment No 52 and incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Exception Letter, the Estate Planning Transfers were permitted under the “Special Circumstances Exception” of the Policy, subject to the following conditions:

 

Page 14 of 18 Pages


   

J. Golsen represented that the Estate Planning Transfers were being effected solely for estate planning purposes;

 

   

Each of the trust Transferees agreed that they would abide by the terms and conditions of the Policy and would not effect, directly or indirectly, any transfer in the Company’s securities or in any securities of any entity that directly or indirectly holds securities of the Company prior to the next “open window” under the Policy.

 

   

Any public disclosures, including any filings under applicable securities laws, made in connection with the Estate Planning Transfers, shall specify that the other conditions set forth above are applicable to the Estate Planning Transfers and the Transferees, with the Company having a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such public disclosures before they are made.

During the last 60 days, there have been no other transactions in the Common Stock by any of the Reporting Persons not reported herein.

 

  (d)

See Item 6, “Pledge of Common Stock” for a description of certain shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by certain Reporting Persons that are subject to a pledge agreement.

 

  (e)

Each of J. Golsen and B. Golsen ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company’s Common Stock as of January 4, 2021.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Agreements, Underwritings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Golsen Group. See Item 2 of this Amendment No. 52 and Exhibit 99.1 for information relating to the departure of the Departing Group Members from the Golsen Group, and the addition of S. Golsen and Quad Capital to the Golsen Group.

Board Representation and Standstill Agreement. Each of the Reporting Persons, with the exception of Quad Capital, and Linda Golsen Rapaport (collectively, the “Golsen Holders”) is a party to a Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, dated December 4, 2015, as amended October 26, 2017 and October 18, 2018 (as so amended, the “Board Representation and Standstill Agreement”), together with the Company, LSB Funding, Security Benefit Corporation and Todd Boehly. Under the Board Representation Agreement, the Golsen Holders, collectively, have the right to designate two directors (“Golsen Designated Directors”), and the Board of the Company shall nominate, and shall recommend the election of, and the vote by the stockholders for, the Golsen Holders Designated Directors. However, if the Golsen Holders, collectively, continue to beneficially own at least 2.5% (but not 5% or more) of the then outstanding Common Stock, the Golsen Holders will only be entitled to designate up to one director. These designation rights will terminate immediately on the first date on which the Golsen Holders, collectively, no longer beneficially own at least 2.5% of the then outstanding Common Stock. The foregoing description of the Board Representation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Board Representation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on

 

Page 15 of 18 Pages


December 8, 2015, and incorporated herein by reference, as amended by Amendment to the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, dated October 26, 2017, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 30, 2017 and incorporated by reference herein, and as amended by Amendment to the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, dated October 18, 2018, filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 19, 2018 and incorporated by reference herein.

Letter Agreement. On December 4, 2015, the Golsen Holders and LSB Funding entered into a certain Letter Agreement. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Golsen Holders agreed to not transfer any of the shares of Common Stock that the Golsen Holders beneficially owned as of November 6, 2015, which included shares of Common Stock that may be issued to certain of the Golsen Holders upon conversion of the Series B and Series D Preferred Stock then owned by such holders (the “Golsen Shares”), unless (a) LSB Funding beneficially owns fewer than 21,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock; (b) LSB Funding delivers written notice to J. Golsen terminating the Letter Agreement; or (c) no Golsen Holder is serving on the Company’s board of directors. Notwithstanding this restriction, the Golsen Holders may transfer up to 25% of the Golsen Shares without restriction (the “Permitted Transfer Amount”) and, under certain conditions, may transfer up to the entire amount of the Golsen Shares to a Permitted Transferee, as defined in the Letter Agreement. Each Permitted Transferee must agree to be bound by the terms of the Letter Agreement. Transfers to a Permitted Transferee are not included in the Permitted Transfer Amount, but will be retroactively included in the Permitted Transfer Amount if a transferee of Golsen Shares ceases to be a Permitted Transferee. Additionally, the Permitted Transfer Amount will be proportionately increased if LSB Funding transfers certain shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant. Additionally, the restrictions contained in the Letter Agreement do not prohibit any of the Golsen Holders from pledging Golsen Shares owned by such holder to a financial institution providing financing to such holder.

Shares acquired by the Golsen Holders after November 6, 2015, other than by conversion of the Series B or Series D Preferred Stock owned by the Golsen Holders on or before November 6, 2015, will not be subject to the terms, limitations, or restrictions of the Letter Agreement. The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.7 to Amendment No. 50 to the Schedule 13D of the Golsen Group and incorporated by reference herein.

Re:

Estate Planning Matters

December 31, 2020

Gentlemen:

Reference is made herein to certain proposed transfers, for estate planning purposes, by Jack Golsen (the “Transferor”) to the undersigned transferees (collectively, the “Transferees”) of equity interests in persons directly or indirectly holding stock of the Corporation (collectively, the “Transaction”), which transfers are anticipated to be effected on or around the date hereof

Reference is also made herein to the Insider Trading Policy of the Corporation, as in effect since May 2, 2019 (the “Policy”).

Under the Policy, all Corporation directors and officers may engage in any transaction in the Corporation’s securities only during an “open window” as further described in the Policy and only after obtaining pre-clearance from the Corporation’s General Counsel; provided, that permission to transact outside an “open window” may be granted in certain special extenuating circumstances (the “Special Circumstances Exception”).

To the extent otherwise prohibited by the Policy because the Corporation is not in an “open window” on the date hereof, the transfers contemplated by the Transaction are hereby permitted under the Special Circumstances Exception, subject to the following conditions:

 

  1.

You have represented that the Transaction is effected solely for estate planning purposes.

 

  2.

The Transferees agree that they will abide by the terms and conditions of the Policy and will not effect, directly or indirectly, any transfer in Corporation securities or in any securities of any entity that directly or indirectly holds securities of the Corporation prior to the next “open window” under the Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations to abide by the terms and conditions of the Policy, for any Transferee not otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy, will expire upon the opening of the next “open window” under the Policy.

 

  3.

Any public disclosures, including any filings under applicable securities laws, made in connection with the Transaction shall specify that the other conditions set forth above are applicable to the Transaction and the Transferees. The Corporation shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such public disclosures before they are made.

DEBTOR:

GOLSEN FAMILY, LLC LOAN #80831

SBL, LLC

Definitions. For the purposes or this document, the following Terms have the following meanings.

“Loan” refers to this transaction generally, including obligations and duties arising from the terms of all documents prepared or submitted for this transaction.

The pronouns “you’’ and “your” refer to the Secured Party. The pronouns ‘‘I”, “me” and “my” refer to each person or entity signing this Agreement as Debtor and agreeing to give the Property described in this Agreement as security for the Secured Debts.

Where the owner of the Property is different from the obligor or guarantor whose obligation this. Agreement secures, “Debtor” refers to each person or entity who is an owner of the Property and “Obligor” or “Guarantor,” as applicable, refer to such parties as designated in the SECURED DEBTS section.

1. SECURED DEBTS. The term “Secured Debts” includes and this Agreement will secure each of the following:

A. Specific Debts. The following debts and all extensions, renewals, refinancings, modifications and replacements. A promissory note or other agreement, No. 80831, dated March 5, 2012, from Golsen Family, L.L.C. (Obligor) to you, in the amount of $3,015,000.00.

B. All Debts. All present and future debts from Obligor to you, even if this Agreement is not specifically referenced, the future debts are also secured by other collateral, or if the future debt is unrelated to or of a different type than this debt. If more than one person signs this Agreement, each agrees that it will secure debts incurred either individually or with others who may not sign this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a commitment to make additional or future loans or advances. Any such commitment must be in writing.

This Agreement will not secure any debt which is also secured by real property or for which a non-possessory, non-purchase money security interest is created in “household goods” in connection with a “consumer loan,” as those terms are defined by federal law governing unfair and deceptive credit practices. In addition, this Agreement will not secure any other debt if, with respect to such other debt, you fail to fulfill any necessary requirements or fail to conform to any limitations of the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z) or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (Regulation X) that are required for loans secured by the Property or if, as a result, the other debt would become subject to Section 670 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007.

C. Sums Advanced. All sums advanced and expenses incurred by you under the terms of this Agreement.

Loan Documents refer to all the documents executed in connection with the Secured Debts.

2. LIMITATIONS ON CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. The cross-collateralization clause on any existing or future loan, but not including this Loan, is void and ineffective as to this Loan, including any extension or refinancing.

The Loan is not secured by a previously executed security instrument if a non-possessory, non-purchase money security interest is created in “household goods” in connection with a “consumer loan,” as those terms are defined by federal law governing unfair and deceptive credit practices. The Loan is not secured by a previously executed security instrument if you fail to fulfill any necessary requirements or fail to conform to any limitations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, (Regulation X). that are required for loans secured by the Property or if, as a result, the other debt would become subject to Section 670 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007.

The Loan is not secured by a previously executed security instrument if you fail to fulfill any necessary requirements or fail to conform to any limitations of the Truth in Lending Act, (Regulation Z). that are required for loans secured by the Property.

3. NON-OBLIGATED OWNER. Any one of us, who is not also identified as an Obligor in the Secured Debts section of this Agreement and who signs this Agreement, is referred to herein as a Non-Obligated Owner for purposes of subsection 7(d)(4) of 12 C.F.R. 1002 (Regulation B) which implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). By signing this Agreement, I, as a Non-Obligated Owner, do grant a security interest, and assign my rights and interests, in the Property to secure payment of the Secured Debts, to create a valid lien, to pass clear title, to waive inchoate rights and to assign earnings or rights to payment under any lease or rent of the Property. However, I, as a Non-Obligated Owner, am not personally liable for the Secured Debts.

4. SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of the Secured Debts, I grant you a security interest in all of the Property described in this Agreement that I own or have sufficient rights in which to transfer an interest, now or in the future, wherever the Property is or will be located, and all proceeds and products from the Property (including, but not limited to, all parts, accessories, repairs, replacements, improvements, and accessions to the Property). Property is all the collateral given as security for the Secured Debts and described in this Agreement, and includes all obligations that support the payment or performance of the Property. “Proceeds” includes cash proceeds, non-cash proceeds and anything acquired upon the sale, lease, license, exchange, or other disposition of the Property; any rights and claims arising from the Property; and any collections and distributions on account of the Property.

This Agreement remains in effect until terminated in writing, even if the Secured Debts are paid and you are no longer obligated to advance funds to me under any loan or credit agreement.

5. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION. The Property is described as follows:

A. Investment Property. All investment property, including securities, whether certificate or uncertificated, security entitlements, securities accounts, commodity contracts or commodity accounts. The term “Investment Property” is as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code and further as modified or amended by the laws of the jurisdiction which governs this transaction. With respect to security entitlements, security accounts and commodity accounts, this section is subject to the sufficiency of description requirements in UCC 9-1 08(e)(2). as amended.

B. Specific Property. 275,000 shares of LSB INDUSTRIES Common stock SYMBOL LXU NYSE, represented by certificate number(s) SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT A FOR COMPLETE·LIST OF PLEDGED STOCK CERTIFICATES.

6. WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS. I make to you the following warranties and representations which will continue as long as this Agreement is in effect:

A. Power. I am duly organized, and validly existing and in good standing in all jurisdictions in which I operate. I have the power and authority to enter into this transaction and to carry on my business or activity as it is now being conducted and, as applicable, am qualified to do so in each jurisdiction in which I operate.

B. Authority. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the obligation evidenced by this Agreement are within my powers, have been duly authorized, have received all necessary governmental approval, will not violate any provision of law, or order of court or governmental agency, and will not violate any agreement to which I am a party or to which I am or any of my property is subject.

C. Name and Location. My name indicated in the DATE AND PARTIES section is my exact legal name. I am an entity organized and registered under the laws of Oklahoma. I will provide verification of registration and location upon your request. I will provide you with at least 30 days notice prior to any change in my name, address, or state of organization or registration.

Without your prior written consent, I do not and will not use any other name and will preserve my existing name, trade names and franchises.

E. Ownership of Property. I represent that I own all of the Property. Your claim to the Property is ahead of the claims of any other creditor, except as disclosed in writing to you prior to any advance on the Secured Debts. I represent that I am the original owner of the Property and, if I am not, that I have provided you with a list of prior owners of the Property.

7. DUTIES TOWARD PROPERTY.

A. Protection of Secured Party’s Interest. I will defend the Property against any other claim. I agree to do whatever you require to protect your security interest and to keep your claim in the Property ahead of the claims of other creditors. I will not do anything to harm your position.
