Introduction

This statement constitutes Amendment No. 52 to the Schedule 13D dated October 7, 1985 (as amended through Amendment No. 51, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, par value $.10 per share (“Common Stock”) of LSB Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3503 NW 63^rd Street, Suite 500, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73116. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 52 shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 52 is being filed jointly by Jack E. Golsen (“J. Golsen”), Barry H. Golsen (“B. Golsen”), Steven J. Golsen (“S. Golsen”), Golsen Family, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“GFLLC”), Quad Capital, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Quad Capital”), SBL, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“SBL”), and Golsen Petroleum Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (“GPC”)(each of J. Golsen, B. Golsen, S. Golsen, GFLLC, Quad Capital, SBL and GPC are referred to herein as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons”), who may be deemed to beneficially own certain shares of the Common Stock of the Company. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 52 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

Pursuant to the transactions described in Item 2 hereof, this Amendment 52 is being filed to report the following:

(i)

The departure of J. Golsen and B. Golsen (together, the “Departing Group Members”) as members of the “Golsen Group,” the members of which previously reported as a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As previously constituted, the Golsen Group consisted of the Departing Group Members, GFLLC, SBL, and GPC, who jointly reported under this Schedule 13D pursuant to a Joint Filing Statement dated September 20, 2007, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 34 of the Schedule 13D, as amended by (a) a Joint Filing Statement dated December 29, 2008 and filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Amendment No. 38 of the Schedule 13D, and (b) a Notification of Departure from Group and Partial Termination of Joint Filing Statements dated November 3, 2016, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to Amendment No. 50 of the Schedule 13D;

(ii)

The change in beneficial ownership of the Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by J. Golsen and B. Golsen as a result of the resignation of J. Golsen and B. Golsen as the managers, directors, and/or officers of Quad Capital, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC. As a result of such resignations and the departure of J. Golsen and B. Golsen from the Golsen Group, the beneficial ownership of such persons in the Company’s Common Stock is less than 5%, and, consequently, such persons will no longer be subject to the filing requirements of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, unless and until such persons’ respective beneficial ownership of Common Stock exceeds 5%; and

(iii)

The addition of S. Golsen to the Golsen Group as a result of his appointment as manager, director and/or officer of Quad Capital, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC, and the beneficial ownership of S. Golsen in the Company’s Common Stock; and

Page 9 of 18 Pages

(iv)

The addition of Quad Capital to the Golsen Group as a result of its indirect beneficial ownership in the Company’s Common Stock through its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries SBL and GPC.

As a result of the resignations on January 4, 2021 of J. Golsen and B. Golsen as managers, directors, and/or officers of Quad Capital, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC, and their departure as members of the Golsen Group, the appointment on such date of S. Golsen as manager, director and/or officer of such entities and the addition of S. Golsen and Quad Capital as members of the Golsen Group, the Golsen Group may be deemed to beneficially own at such date an aggregate of 2,874,945 shares of Common Stock (including 916,666 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of certain shares of preferred stock held by the Golsen Group), representing approximately 9.51% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The numbers shown on the preceding pages and in Item 5 below reflect multiple counting of certain shares since beneficial ownership of those shares is attributable to more than one Reporting Person by Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as further described in Item 5 below.

On January 4, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), each of the Departing Group Members, together with each of the other Reporting Persons, executed a Joint Filing Statement and Notification of Departure from Group (the “Joint Filing Statement and Notification”), pursuant to which the Departing Group Members, although joining in this Amendment No. 52 for the purpose of filing jointly, represented that each such person, as of the Effective Date, was no longer acting together with each other or with any other person, including the other Reporting Persons, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company. Additionally, pursuant to the Joint Filing Statement and Notification, S.

The percentage ownership of each Reporting Person is based on 29,317,168 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 30, 2020, as reported in LSB Industries, Inc.’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

The filing of the Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons, as amended by this Amendment No. 52, is not an admission that any Reporting Person, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock included in this Schedule 13D in which such Reporting Person does not have any ownership and economic interest.

(9)

On January 4, 2021, J. Golsen and B. Golsen resigned as managers, directors and/or officers of Quad Capital, SBL, GPC, and GFLLC, and S.

Golsen no longer have voting or dispositive control of any of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by such entities, while S. Golsen shares with each such entity voting and dispositive control of the Common Stock beneficially owned by such entities.

(c)

On December 31, 2020, J. Golsen and a trust controlled by him (“JEG Trust”) transferred 100% of the interest owned by JEG Trust in Quad Capital and GFLLC (the “JEG Interests”) to separate trusts established for the benefit of Mr. Golsen’s three children (collectively, the “Estate Planning Transfers”). Each trust (each, a “Transferee” and, collectively, the “Transferees”) received one-third of the interests transferred by the JEG Trust. The Estate Planning Transfers were made solely for estate planning purposes to take advantage of certain estate tax exclusion amounts available under Section 2010(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “JEG Exclusion Amount”), and were made in part as gifts for fair market value (“FMV”) up to the value of the JEG Exclusion Amount, with the remaining JEG Interests, if any, transferred for FMV to the Transferees. Determination of FMV, to be made by an independent valuation firm, will determine the allocation of the transfers as gift or other than gift transactions.

The Estate Planning Transfers were made outside the Company’s open trading window, as described in the Insider Trading Policy of the Corporation, as in effect since May 2, 2019 (the “Policy”), under a “Special Circumstances Exception” described in a letter to J. Golsen, individually and as trustee of the JEG Trust, dated December 31, 2020 (the “Exception Letter”), filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment No 52 and incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Exception Letter, the Estate Planning Transfers were permitted under the “Special Circumstances Exception” of the Policy, subject to the following conditions:

Page 14 of 18 Pages

•

J. Golsen represented that the Estate Planning Transfers were being effected solely for estate planning purposes;

•

Each of the trust Transferees agreed that they would abide by the terms and conditions of the Policy and would not effect, directly or indirectly, any transfer in the Company’s securities or in any securities of any entity that directly or indirectly holds securities of the Company prior to the next “open window” under the Policy.

•

Any public disclosures, including any filings under applicable securities laws, made in connection with the Estate Planning Transfers, shall specify that the other conditions set forth above are applicable to the Estate Planning Transfers and the Transferees, with the Company having a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such public disclosures before they are made.

During the last 60 days, there have been no other transactions in the Common Stock by any of the Reporting Persons not reported herein.

(d)

See Item 6, “Pledge of Common Stock” for a description of certain shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by certain Reporting Persons that are subject to a pledge agreement.

(e)

Each of J. Golsen and B. Golsen ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company’s Common Stock as of January 4, 2021.

Item 6.

Contracts, Agreements, Underwritings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Golsen Group. See Item 2 of this Amendment No. 52 and Exhibit 99.1 for information relating to the departure of the Departing Group Members from the Golsen Group, and the addition of S. Golsen and Quad Capital to the Golsen Group.

Board Representation and Standstill Agreement. Each of the Reporting Persons, with the exception of Quad Capital, and Linda Golsen Rapaport (collectively, the “Golsen Holders”) is a party to a Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, dated December 4, 2015, as amended October 26, 2017 and October 18, 2018 (as so amended, the “Board Representation and Standstill Agreement”), together with the Company, LSB Funding, Security Benefit Corporation and Todd Boehly. Under the Board Representation Agreement, the Golsen Holders, collectively, have the right to designate two directors (“Golsen Designated Directors”), and the Board of the Company shall nominate, and shall recommend the election of, and the vote by the stockholders for, the Golsen Holders Designated Directors. However, if the Golsen Holders, collectively, continue to beneficially own at least 2.5% (but not 5% or more) of the then outstanding Common Stock, the Golsen Holders will only be entitled to designate up to one director. These designation rights will terminate immediately on the first date on which the Golsen Holders, collectively, no longer beneficially own at least 2.5% of the then outstanding Common Stock. The foregoing description of the Board Representation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Board Representation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on

Page 15 of 18 Pages

December 8, 2015, and incorporated herein by reference, as amended by Amendment to the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, dated October 26, 2017, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 30, 2017 and incorporated by reference herein, and as amended by Amendment to the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, dated October 18, 2018, filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 19, 2018 and in corporated by reference herein.

Letter Agreement. On December 4, 2015, the Golsen Holders and LSB Funding entered into a certain Letter Agreement. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Golsen Holders agreed to not transfer any of the shares of Common Stock that the Golsen Holders beneficially owned as of November 6, 2015, which included shares of Common Stock that may be issued to certain of the Golsen Holders upon conversion of the Series B and Series D Preferred Stock then owned by such holders (the “Golsen Shares”), unless (a) LSB Funding beneficially owns fewer than 21,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock; (b) LSB Funding delivers written notice to J. Golsen terminating the Letter Agreement; or (c) no Golsen Holder is serving on the Company’s board of directors. Notwithstanding this restriction, the Golsen Holders may transfer up to 25% of the Golsen Shares without restriction (the “Permitted Transfer Amount”) and, under certain conditions, may transfer up to the entire amount of the Golsen Shares to a Permitted Transferee, as defined in the Letter Agreement. Each Permitted Transferee must agree to be bound by the terms of the Letter Agreement. Transfers to a Permitted Transferee are not included in the Permitted Transfer Amount, but will be retroactively included in the Permitted Transfer Amount if a transferee of Golsen Shares ceases to be a Permitted Transferee. Additionally, the Permitted Transfer Amount will be proportionately increased if LSB Funding transfers certain shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant. Additionally, the restrictions contained in the Letter Agreement do not prohibit any of the Golsen Holders from pledging Golsen Shares owned by such holder to a financial institution providing financing to such holder.

Shares acquired by the Golsen Holders after November 6, 2015, other than by conversion of the Series B or Series D Preferred Stock owned by the Golsen Holders on or before November 6, 2015, will not be subject to the terms, limitations, or restrictions of the Letter Agreement. The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.7 to Amendment No. 50 to the Schedule 13D of the Golsen Group and incorporated by reference herein.
