On June 1, 2017, LSB Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”).

The final voting results for each of these matters are set forth below.

In addition, there were 5,926,476 broker non-votes associated with respect to each nominee. All director nominees were duly elected at the 2017 Annual Meeting. Each of the individuals named in the above table will serve as director until the 2019 or 2020 annual meeting of stockholders or until his/her successor is duly elected and qualified.

There were no broker non-votes on this matter.

3. Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers
