On July 11, 2007, the Board of Directors of LSB Industries, Inc. (“LSB”) approved the redemption of all of its outstanding $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock, Series 2 (“$3.25 Preferred”). LSB mailed a notice of redemption to all holders of record of its $3.25 Preferred on July 12, 2007. The redemption date is scheduled for August 27, 2007, and the redemption price is $50.00 per share of $3.25 Preferred, plus $26.25 per share in accrued and unpaid dividends pro-rata to the date of redemption. As of the date of this report, 193,295 shares of $3.25 Preferred were outstanding. UMB Bank, n.a., is the exchange agent in connection with this redemption. The $3.25 Preferred will be redeemed using a portion of the proceeds of LSB’s recently completed $60 million offering of its 5.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2012.

The holders of shares of $3.25 Preferred have the right to convert each share into 4.329 shares of LSB’s common stock, which right to convert terminates 10 days prior to the redemption date. If a holder converts its shares of $3.25 Preferred, the holder would not be entitled to any accrued and unpaid dividends as to the shares of $3.25 Preferred converted. If all of the outstanding shares of $3.25 Preferred are converted, 836,774 shares of LSB common stock would be issuable.
