9. Related Party Transactions

As of September 30, 2023, we had one outstanding financing arrangement with an affiliate of Eldridge as discussed in footnote (C) of Note 4. An affiliate of Eldridge holds $30 million of the Senior Secured Notes.

During the third quarter of 2022, under a previously authorized repurchase program we repurchased approximately 5.5 million shares of our common stock at an average cost of approximately $12 per share in connection with a public offering by LSB Funding and SBT Investors, each of which is an affiliate of Eldridge.

We were party to a death benefit agreement (“2005 Agreement”) with Jack E. Golsen (“J. Golsen”), who retired as Executive Chairman of the Board, effective December 31, 2017. The 2005 Agreement provided that, upon J. Golsen’s death, we would pay to the designated beneficiary a lump-sum payment of $2.5 million. J. Golsen passed away in April 2022. Further, we maintained and owned a life insurance policy with a face value of $3.0 million for which we were the beneficiary. The policy did not have any cash surrender value, premium payments were current, and the policy was in force at the time of Golsen’s death. We received the settlement payment of $3.0 million and paid the death benefit of $2.5 million in July 2022. We recorded $3.0 million in a settlement of life insurance presented within non-operating other expense (income), net within our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The settlement of life insurance is included in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in “Other” investing activities.
