<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Oklahoma City, Oklahoma April&nbsp;20, 2018 &#150; LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE: LXU) (&#147;LSB&#148;) today announced that it priced its previously announced
offering of $400&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2023 (the &#147;Notes&#148;) which will be sold in a private placement to eligible purchasers. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of
LSB&#146;s existing subsidiaries and by certain of LSB&#146;s future domestic wholly owned subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 99.509% of their face value. The Notes and the guarantees will be secured, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, (a)&nbsp;on a first-priority basis
by a substantial portion of LSB&#146;s and the guarantors&#146; assets (other than the assets securing LSB&#146;s working capital revolver loan), and (b)&nbsp;on a second-priority basis by certain of LSB&#146;s and the guarantors&#146; assets that
secure LSB&#146;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 April&nbsp;25,
2018, subject to customary closing conditions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">LSB intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase and/or redeem any and all of its
outstanding $375&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the &#147;Existing Notes&#148;), to pay related transaction fees, expenses and premiums, and, to the extent of any remaining net proceeds, for general
corporate purposes. Pending such application of the net proceeds of this offering, they may be invested in highly rated money market funds, U.S. government securities, treasury bills or short-term commercial paper. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 &#147;Securities Act&#148;), 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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> 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. This press release is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to sell or a notice of redemption with respect to the Existing Notes. </P>
