Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 7, 2022, LSB Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company, UBS Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (excluding the Company, the aforementioned together the “Underwriters”) and LSB Funding LLC (the “Selling Stockholder”), relating to the underwritten offering of 14,350,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), and the Underwriters’ 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,627,500 shares of Common Stock (the “Optional Shares” and, together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) from the Selling Stockholder (the “Offering”). On November 8, 2022, the Underwriters exercised their option to purchase the Optional Shares in full. All of the Shares in the Offering were sold by the Selling Stockholder. The Underwriters agreed to purchase the Shares from the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $12.99375 per share. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from the Underwriters 3,500,000 Shares being sold by the Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters, at a price per share equal to the price being paid by the Underwriters to the Selling Stockholder, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $45,478,125 (the “Share Repurchase”). After giving effect to the Share Repurchase, approximately $29.5 million of shares of Common Stock will remain authorized for repurchase under the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. The Company funded the Share Repurchase with cash on hand.

The Offering was made only by means of a prospectus. An automatic shelf registration statement (including a prospectus) relating to the offering of Common Stock was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2022 and became effective upon filing (File No. 333-263882) (the “Registration Statement”). A prospectus supplement relating to the Offering was filed with the SEC on November 7, 2022. The closing of the Offering took place on November 10, 2022.

The description of the Underwriting Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
