Transaction Summary § LSB Industries, Inc. (“LSB” or the “Company”) is seeking to exchange its existing preferred stock held by Eldridge into common stock, with Eldridge, becoming a majority shareholder of LSB with ~ 60% ownership § Eldridge will be exchanging at a 30-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) common stock price of $6.16 per share § As a part of the transaction, existing stockholders will receive meaningful economic consideration, in the form of a special common stock dividend of 0.30 shares for every 1 share owned § This transaction will help to facilitate the refinancing of LSB’s senior secured notes on more attractive terms, placing the Company more in line with its public company peers and lowering the Company’s overall cost of capital and leverage profile § The Transaction is expected to close in early September 2021 2Transaction Summary § LSB Industries, Inc.

Key Transaction Rationale § Eliminates the current financial impact and repayment of the accrued compounding preferred stock and future accruing dividends at 14.5% (increasing to 16.0% in April 2023) unburdening the Company and unlocking stockholder value § The Special Committee, Board of Directors and LSB management believe this transaction should lead to a ratings upgrade, and expect that this will allow the Company to refinance its senior secured notes at a lower interest rate and on improved terms, which would reduce its annual cash interest expense and overall cost of capital § Improves the Company's financial flexibility allowing it to pursue organic growth initiatives, including in green ammonia and clean energy, and accretive M&A opportunities § Preserves the Company’s significant tax attributes, including $620 million of federal net operating losses, thereby protecting potentially significant future cash savings and stockholder value 3Key Transaction Rationale § Eliminates the current financial impact and repayment of the accrued compounding preferred stock and future accruing dividends at 14.5% (increasing to 16.0% in April 2023) unburdening the Company and unlocking stockholder value § The Special Committee, Board of Directors and LSB management believe this transaction should lead to a ratings upgrade, and expect that this will allow the Company to refinance its senior secured notes at a lower interest rate and on improved terms, which would reduce its annual cash interest expense and overall cost of capital § Improves the Company's financial flexibility allowing it to pursue organic growth initiatives, including in green ammonia and clean energy, and accretive M&A opportunities § Preserves the Company’s significant tax attributes, including $620 million of federal net operating losses, thereby protecting potentially significant future cash savings and stockholder value 3

Analysis excludes Series B & D preferred stock of $3.0mm. For illustration purpose only. 1) Assumes better senior secured notes financing pricing in the mid-cycle and peak pricing cycles scenario. 7 2) Preferred Stock balance includes ~$1.9mm of participation rights value based on 30-day trailing VWAP of $6.16 as of 7/16/21. Assumes the preferred stock balance accrues at 14.5% in year 1, 15.0% in year 2 and 16.0% in year 3. 3) Assumes preferred paydown if total liquidity consisting of cash available for debt repayment + ABL availability is greater than $65mm.
