LSB Industries Reports Status of Production at Pryor Facility

LSB Industries, Inc. LXU today updated the status of production at its Pryor, OK Facility. As previously reported, the Pryor Facility was shut down on May 30, 2011, for unplanned maintenance on the anhydrous ammonia plant. The repairs were completed and the ammonia plant was returned to service on June 12, 2011. Also, as disclosed, the nitric acid plant required corrective measures, which were anticipated to be completed on June 21st, at which time we anticipated UAN production would resume. Due to delays in the completion of the repairs to the nitric acid plant, management decided to defer the completion of the repairs until July 5th in conjunction with the planned major maintenance “Turnaround”.
