Section
5 – Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year
Item
5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
On August
20, 2009, the Board of Directors of LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Company") adopted
and approved, effective immediately, Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company
(the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"), a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 3(ii) to this report and is incorporated herein by
reference.  The amendments generally (a) update and enhance the
procedures for stockholders to propose business and nominate directors in
connection with an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, and (b) provide
the procedures for stockholder access to the Company's proxy statement for the
nomination of eligible directors.  Below is a brief description of the
changes to the Company's bylaws that are included in the Amended and Restated
Bylaws.
·
Notice Period for
      Stockholder Proposals
.  Article III, Section 12 was
      amended to provide that stockholder proposals must be submitted not less
      than 120 nor more than 150 days before the date on which the Company first
      mailed proxy material for the prior year's annual meeting.  The
      previous time period was not less than 50 days prior to such
      mailing.  Section 12 now also provides the specific notice
      period that applies if the Company's annual meeting is held more than 30
      days before or more than 60 days after  such
      mailing.
·
Stockholder
      Information
.  Article III, Section 12 was amended to
      specify the stockholders who are eligible to properly bring business
      before the annual meeting and expands the disclosure required by
      stockholders making proposals to include, among other things, (a) the
      proposing stockholder's beneficial ownership of all Company securities
      (rather than beneficial ownership of voting stock only), (b) information
      relating to material interests, arrangements and relationships that could
      influence proposals or nominations, and (c) other information typically
      required in a proxy statement.  A stockholder proposing to bring
      business before an annual meeting is now required to update and supplement
      the stockholder's notice and information, so as to be accurate as of the
      record date of the meeting and as of 10 business days prior to the
      meeting.
·
Nomination of
      Directors
.  Article III, Section 13 was amended to
      provide that director nominations must be submitted not less than 120 days
      nor more than 150 days before the date of the annual
      meeting.  The previous notice period was not less than 50 days
      prior to the date of the annual meeting.  Section 13 now also
      provides the specific notice period that applies if the Company's annual
      meeting is held more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the
      date of the prior year's annual
meeting.
·
Stockholder
      Access
.  The Amended and Restated Bylaws include a new
      Section 14 to Article III, which entitles a stockholder to nominate an
      independent director in the Company's proxy statement, if the following
      conditions are satisfied:
(a)
the
      stockholder, together with the stockholder's affiliates, owns at least 5%
      of the voting power of the Company's outstanding securities (the "Required
      Interest");
(b)
the
      requisite voting power has been held at least one
  year;
(c)
notice
      of the nomination is provided to the Company within the period required by
      Article III, Section 13 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws for nomination
      of directors;
(d)
the
      stockholder provides certain information relating to the proposed
      nominee;
(e)
the
      stockholder agrees to indemnify the Company for all liabilities arising
      out of the information provided by the
  stockholder;
(f)
the
      stockholder undertakes to continue to hold for one year following the
      election of directors at the annual meeting the greater of (i) the
      Required Interest or (ii) 75% of the stockholder's interest as of the last
      day on which stockholder nominations may be made under Article III,
      Section 13;
(g)
the
      stockholder agrees not to acquire the greater of (i) 10% of the Company's
      outstanding voting securities or (ii) an additional 5% of the voting power
      in the Company's securities in excess of the voting power held by the
      stockholder as of the last day on which stockholder nominations may be
      made under Article III, Section 13;
(h)
the
      sum of the number of directors serving on the board of directors as a
      result of proxy access pursuant to Section 14, plus the number of
      directors to be included in the Company's proxy materials for the next
      annual meeting pursuant to Section 14 does not exceed 25% of the total
      number of directors that constitute the whole board;
  and
(i)
certain
      other conditions set forth in Article III, Section
  14.
·
Other
      Updates
.  The revised provisions also (a) separate the
      requirements applicable to stockholder proposals not involving director
      nominations from the requirements applicable to director nominations; (b)
      clarify in Article III, Sections 2, 8, 9 and 10, which director or officer
      shall preside over meetings of stockholders and certain responsibilities
      of the Vice Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, and the
      President; and (c) make additional clarifying changes or immaterial
      language changes.
Based on
the Amended and Restated Bylaws, for the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders of
the Company, a stockholder of the Company must deliver notice to the Company (a)
for the nomination of directors no earlier than December 12, 2009, and no later
than January 11, 2010, and (b) for other proposed business (other than proposals
to be included in the Company's proxy materials pursuant to the federal proxy
rules) no earlier than January 5, 2010 and no later than February 4,
2010.
The
foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a
copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3(ii) hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
