_____________________________
Revolving Credit Facility - The Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings up to an initial maximum of $75 million, with an option to increase the maximum by an additional $25 million (which amount is uncommitted). Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base and is subject to an availability block of $7.5 million (which can be removed by us at our sole discretion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) (the “Availability Block”). The Availability Block is applied against the $75 million maximum. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10 million, with the outstanding amount of any such letters of credit reducing availability for borrowings. As of December 31, 2025, our Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn and had approximately $44.3 million of availability.
The Revolving Credit Facility matures on December 21, 2028, subject to springing maturity to the date that is 90 days prior to the stated maturity date of our existing Senior Secured Notes, which is currently October 15, 2028 (unless such Senior Secured Notes have been repaid or redeemed in full prior thereto). Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of us, either (a) term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for a period of one month (with a fallback to the prime rate if such rate is unavailable), plus 0.10%, plus an applicable margin of 1.625% or (b) term SOFR for a period of one, three or six months (at our election), plus 0.10%, plus an applicable margin of 1.625%, in each case with a floor of 0.00%.
LSB Industries, Inc. and all of our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) are co-borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our current assets, including accounts receivable and inventory, subject to certain exceptions.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant, which requires that, solely if we elect to remove the Availability Block, then the Borrowers must maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00:1.00. The financial covenant, if triggered, is tested monthly. The financial covenant was not triggered as of December 31, 2025.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes other customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. Upon the occurrence of events of default, the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility may be accelerated and the revolver commitments thereunder may be terminated.
Senior Secured Notes due 2028 - We previously issued at par an aggregate of $700 million principal value of our Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (“Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes, which mature in , bear interest at a rate of 6.25% paid in arrears on May 15 and October 15 of each year. From time to time, we have engaged in open market repurchases to extinguish a portion of the outstanding balance.
During 2025, we repurchased $39.9 million of our Senior Secured Notes through open market transactions for approximately $39.5 million which was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. Including our write-off of the associated remaining portion of unamortized debt issuance costs, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt, net of issuance costs, of approximately $0.1 million.
The Senior Secured Notes mature on October 15, 2028, ranking senior in right of payment to all of our debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated, including the Revolving Credit Facility. Our obligations under the Senior Secured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors named in the Indenture on a senior secured basis.
Pursuant to the Indenture, we may redeem the Senior Secured Notes at our option, in whole or in part, at certain redemption prices, including a “make-whole” premium, as set forth in the Indenture but also includes redemption requirements associated with a change of control (as defined in the Indenture). The Senior Secured Notes do not have any conversion features. In addition, the Indenture contains customary covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to engage in certain transactions and also provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods). Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Secured Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable.
The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to (1) incur additional indebtedness; (2) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (3) make other restricted payments, including investments; (4) create dividend and other payment restrictions affecting its subsidiaries; (5) create liens or use assets as security in other transactions; (6) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and (7) enter into transactions with affiliates. Further, during any such time when the Senior Secured Notes are rated investment grade by each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Investors Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, certain of the covenants will be suspended with respect to the Senior Secured Notes.
Obligations in respect of the Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our fixed assets, subject to certain customary exceptions.
Secured Financing Agreement due 2025 - In August 2020, we entered into a $30 million secured financing arrangement with an affiliate of Eldridge Industries, L.L.C. (“Eldridge”). During the third quarter of 2025, we paid off the loan by making the final balloon payment of approximately $5 million.
Finance Leases - Finance leases consist primarily of leases on railcars.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
