Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	14. Related Party Transactions During 2019, we entered into two separate financing arrangements with an affiliate of LSB Funding as discussed in footnotes (E) of Note 7, which transactions included debt issuance costs totaling approximately $0.1 million paid to this affiliate. In June 2019, we incurred a consent fee of approximately $0.3 million from LSB Funding associated with the issuance of the New Notes discussed in footnote (B) of Note 7. Also, LSB Funding holds all outstanding shares of the Series E and Series F Redeemable Preferred discussed in Note 10. During 2018, we sold $50.0 million and $0.5 million principal amount of notes to an affiliate of Security Benefit Corporation (“SBC”) and Daniel D. Greenwell, respectively, associated with the issuance and sale of the Notes discussed in footnote (B) of Note 7. As discussed in Note 10, we paid a fee of $2.7 million to an affiliate of SBC relating to the letter agreement amending the terms of the Series E Redeemable Preferred. As discussed in Note 10, all outstanding shares of the Series E and Series F Redeemable Preferred are held by this affiliate. Pursuant to the terms of the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, our Board includes two directors that are employees of SBC and affiliates. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, we incurred director fees associated with these directors totaling approximately $0.3 million for each respective year. Effective December 30, 2018, Daniel D. Greenwell elected not to enter into a new employment agreement and resigned from the Board and his roles as Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer. Subject to the execution of a release agreement, which was executed in January 2019, Mr. Greenwell was entitled to certain severance benefits pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. At December 31, 2018, our accrued and other liabilities included approximately $2.8 million relating primarily to severance benefits owed to Mr. Greenwell. In addition, approximately $2.7 million of share-based compensation was incurred in 2018 due to the accelerated vesting of 312,369 shares of restricted stock. No dividends were declared during 2019, 2018 and 2017. At December 31, 2019, accumulated dividends on the Series B and Series D Preferred totaled approximately $1.3 million. The Series B Preferred and Series D Preferred are non-redeemable preferred stocks issued in 1986 and 2001, respectively, of which all outstanding shares are owned by the Golsen Holders. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, we incurred director fees associated with Barry H. Golsen totaling approximately $0.1 million for each respective year. As the result of Jack E. Golsen (“J. Golsen”) informing the Board of his election to retire as Executive Chairman effective December 31, 2017, we determined not to extend the employment agreement with J. Golsen beyond its current term expiring on December 31, 2017 (the “Retirement Date”) and, in accordance with the terms his employment agreement, delivered a notice of non-renewal to J. Golsen. J. Golsen remains a member of the Board and, following the Retirement Date, has the title of Chairman Emeritus. During 2017, we entered into a transition agreement (the “Transition Agreement”) with J. Golsen that commenced on January 1, 2018 and ends upon the earlier of his death or a change in control as defined in the Transition Agreement. During the term, J. Golsen will receive an annual cash retainer of $480,000 and an additional monthly amount of $4,400 to cover certain expenses. In accordance with the terms of the Transition Agreement, we will also reimburse J. Golsen for his cost of certain medical insurance coverage until his death. Effective as of the Retirement Date, the previous existing severance agreement with J. Golsen was terminated. In consideration for his services, including as Chairman Emeritus, we will pay J. Golsen a one-time payment equal to $2,320,000 upon the consummation of a change in control that occurs prior to his death. During 2017, a death benefit agreement with J. Golsen was terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement that allowed us to terminate at any time and for any reason prior to the death of the employee. As a result, the liability of approximately $1.4 million for the estimated death benefit associated with this agreement was extinguished and derecognized with the offset classified as operating other income in 2017. During 2017, we sold our engineered products business (industrial machinery and related components) to Industrial Acquisitions LLC and Industrial Products LLC (both entities are owned by immediate family members of J. Golsen) for $3.5 million which sale resulted in a loss of approximately $0.8 million, classified as operating other expense. During 2016, we entered into a consulting agreement with Steven J. Golsen (“S. Golsen”), son of J. Golsen and former employee and President and Chief Operating Officer of our former climate control business. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, S. Golsen provided services relating to the sale of the climate control business and subsequent services to improve the transition process from LSB to NIBE Industrier AB (publ). The total consulting fee was approximately $0.4 million and the term of the agreement was for 2 years through May 2018.
