Re: | LSB Industries, Inc.; Convertible Noncumulative Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share (the Noncumulative Preferred Stock); CUSIP No. 502160203 |
To the Holders of Convertible, Noncumulative Preferred Stock:
Please be advised that LSB Industries, Inc. (the Company) is considering redeeming its outstanding shares of its Noncumulative Preferred Stock. Currently there are 461 shares of Noncumulative Preferred Stock outstanding. If the Companys Board of Directors approves the redemption of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock, the Company will then issue a notice of redemption providing for redemption of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate). Pursuant to the Certificate, the redemption price will be $100 per share of Noncumulative Preferred Stock or $50 for a fractional one-half share of Noncumulative Preferred Stock.
The Certificate provides that the holders of Noncumulative Preferred Stock may, prior to the date of a notice of redemption of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock, convert their shares of Noncumulative Preferred Stock into the Companys common stock at the conversion rate of 40 shares of the Companys common stock for each share of Noncumulative Preferred Stock or 20 shares of the Companys common stock for a fractional one-half share of Noncumulative Preferred Stock. Any conversion may be effected by holders of Noncumulative Preferred Stock by giving the Company written notice of an election to convert at least 10 business days prior to the date of conversion. Please be advised that, pursuant to the terms of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock, the right of holders of Noncumulative Preferred Stock to convert their shares of Noncumulative Preferred Stock into shares of the Companys common stock terminates as of the date of the notice of redemption.
Management currently intends during February 2012 to present to the Companys Board of Directors a proposal to redeem the Companys Noncumulative Preferred Stock, and, if the Companys Board of Directors approves such redemption of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock, a notice of redemption will be sent to the holders of record during February 2012.
Based on the terms of the Certificate, assuming the Company sends the notice of redemption during February 2012, holders of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to convert the shares of Noncumulative Preferred Stock from and after the date of the notice of redemption.
