&#150; LSB Industries, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) (NYSE: LXU) today updated the status of its Pryor, Oklahoma Facility (&#147;Pryor Facility&#148;), which was shut-down on March&nbsp;15, 2012 for unplanned maintenance at the ammonia plant. As
stated in our April&nbsp;2, 2012 update, the ammonia plant resumed production on March&nbsp;22 and has produced approximately 600 tons per day, which production is being sold directly into the fertilizer market. However, the repair undertaken at the
urea plant which began on February&nbsp;27, 2012, which produces urea ammonium nitrate (&#147;UAN&#148;) and uses ammonia as a feedstock, is not complete. As a result, the Pryor Facility has not produced UAN since February&nbsp;27, 2012. The repair
period is expected to extend approximately 60 days more because we have determined that the damaged portion of the urea reactor, which is the reactor&#146;s stainless steel liner, is non-repairable and the liner has to be replaced. The Company will
announce when UAN production resumes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For the month of March, the Company estimates that the downtime resulting from the attempted repair of
the urea reactor will result in approximately $4 million less operating income than otherwise would have been expected. In addition, in March, the Company accrued $3 million for probable losses for UAN tons that were pre-sold at firm sales prices,
subject to make-whole terms, but not delivered due to the extended urea plant downtime. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subsequent to March and until the urea plant is back
in production, the Company estimates the downtime will result in approximately $900,000 per week less operating income than if the urea plant was in production. The Company has made a claim with its insurance carriers for repair costs and lost
profits, less applicable deductible. </FONT></P>
