LSB Industries Announces Increase to Stock Repurchase Authorization

LSB Industries, Inc. (“LSB” or “the Company”), (NYSE: LXU), today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an increase in the size of the Company’s previously announced $100 million stock repurchase program implemented earlier this year. Under the expanded program, LSB Industries may now repurchase up to $175 million of its outstanding common stock, of which approximately $75 million remains available for future repurchases.

“Our healthy liquidity position and consistent operating cash flow enabled us to once again increase the size of our stock repurchase authorization,” stated Mark Behrman, LSB Industries’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “This expanded authorization reflects our favorable outlook for the fourth quarter of 2022 and full year 2023, and our confidence in our ability to maintain a strong balance sheet while at the same time, delivering value to our shareholders and investing in the growth of our Company.”

The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in the open market or in private transactions and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion at prices that management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both LSB Industries and its stockholders. The timing and amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital and LSB’s financial performance. Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act and other applicable legal requirements.

The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. The repurchase program does not obligate LSB Industries to purchase any particular number of shares.
