Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events

Pursuant to SEC Rule 135C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), LSB Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby gives notice that on December 30, 2011, it distributed to the holders of record of its Convertible Noncumulative Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share (“Noncumulative Preferred Stock”), the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, describing the Company’s consideration of the possible redemption of all outstanding shares of Noncumulative Preferred Stock and that the Noncumulative Preferred Stock was only convertible prior to the notice of redemption. The letter, which is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein, is not a notice of redemption, but is meant to alert the holders of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock to the possibility that such a redemption notice may soon be given, foreclosing the ability of the holders of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock to convert such securities into shares of the Company’s common stock. Neither the redemption nor the optional conversion of the Noncumulative Preferred Stock has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and any such redemption or conversion may not be effected in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.
