SCHEDULE 13D

CUSIP No. 502160104

This statement on Schedule 13D this (“Statement”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”) of LSB Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 3503 NW 63^rd Street, Suite 500, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73116.

This Statement represents Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by LSB Funding LLC (the “Reporting Person”) on December 14, 2015, and amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (the “Amendment No. 1”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Person on May 20, 2016 and amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D (the “Amendment No. 2”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Person on July 20, 2021.

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1 or Amendment No. 2, as applicable.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On July 19, 2021, the Reporting Person and the Issuer entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Securities Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person and the Issuer agreed to exchange, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (a) the 139,768 shares of Series E-1 Cumulative Redeemable Class C Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the “Series E-1 Preferred Stock”) held by the Reporting Person for shares of Common Stock and (b) the one (1) share of Series F-1 Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Person for shares of Common Stock (the “Series F-1 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series E-1 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), based on the liquidation preference and redemption price, respectively, of the Preferred Stock and a volume weighted average exchange price of $6.16 per share of Common Stock; provided, that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above will be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Person will receive in respect of the payment of a dividend on the Common Stock described in the Securities Exchange Agreement (such net number of shares of Common Stock to be issued, the “Issued Shares” and such transactions, the “Exchange”). On September 27, 2021, the Exchange was consummated and the Issuer issued 49,066,005 Issued Shares to the Reporting Person.

At the closing of the Exchange, the Issuer and the Reporting Person also entered into certain modifications to the Registration Rights Agreement between the Reporting Person and the Issuer and the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement among the Reporting Person, the Issuer and the other parties thereto, each as described in the Securities Exchange Agreement. The Amendment and Waiver to Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2021, by and among the Issuer, the Reporting Person and the other parties thereto (a) deletes certain prohibited activities, including, among other things, (i) calling a special meeting of the stockholders by the Reporting Person and (ii) the Reporting Person proposing to remove, or voting to remove, any directors of the Issuer, and (b) shortens the term of the standstill provisions so that they will terminate no later than the second anniversary of the closing date of the Exchange.

The description of the Securities Exchange Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Securities Exchange Agreement. The Securities Exchange Agreement is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 20, 2021.

The description of the Amendment and Waiver to Board Representation and Standstill Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment and Waiver to Board Representation and Standstill Agreement. The Amendment and Waiver to Board Representation and Standstill Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Sections (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a), (b) Based upon the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, there were 30,300,571 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 23, 2021, plus an additional 49,066,005 shares issued to the Reporting Person

pursuant to the Securities Exchange Agreement. The Reporting Person previously owned 4,069,324 shares of Common Stock and, on September 27, 2021, the transactions contemplated by the Securities Exchange Agreement were consummated and the Issuer issued an additional 49,066,005 shares of Common Stock to the Reporting Person. Accordingly, the Reporting Person beneficially owns Common Stock representing approximately 66.95% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power over such shares. The amount and percentage set forth above do not include shares of Common Stock expected to be issued on October 8, 2021 in connection with the Issuer’s previous ly announced special dividend to the holders of record of its Common Stock (including the Reporting Person) on the record date of September 24, 2021.

(c) Except as reported herein, in the Original Schedule 13D, in Amendment No. 1 and in Amendment No. 2, the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
