LSB Industries, Inc. Announces Changes to Its Board of Directors
OKLAHOMA CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE:LXU) (“LSB or “the Company”) announced the
resignation of Joseph Reece from its Board of Directors effective today.
Mr. Reece, who was previously the Executive Vice Chairman of UBS
Securities LLC (“UBS”), was recently promoted by UBS to be the head of
its Investment Bank – Corporate Client Solutions Business for the
Americas, a position which requires a substantially increased time
commitment from his previous responsibilities. Accordingly, Mr. Reece
has decided to resign from the LSB Board. The vacancy will be filled,
effective immediately, by Jonathan Bobb, a former director of LSB’s
Board and member of the Corporate Investment team at Eldridge
Industries, the parent of Security Benefit Corporation. With these
changes, the size of LSB’s Board will remain at nine directors, of which
six are independent.
LSB’s President and CEO, Daniel Greenwell, stated, “I, along with my
fellow directors, would like to thank Joe for his contributions to LSB
over the past two years, and congratulate him on his new position at
UBS. We would also like to welcome Jonathan back to our Board and look
forward to working with him as we move forward in our efforts to
strengthen our operations and enhance our financial position.”
