<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">As previously disclosed, on April 18, 2012,
IEP Energy LLC (&ldquo;IEP Energy&rdquo;), an indirect subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), and each
of the other parties listed on the signature pages thereto, each of whom is an affiliate of the Company (collectively with IEP
Energy, the &ldquo;IEP Parties&rdquo;), entered into a Transaction Agreement (the &ldquo;Transaction Agreement&rdquo;) with CVR
Energy, Inc. (&ldquo;CVR&rdquo;), with respect to IEP Energy&rsquo;s tender offer (the &ldquo;Offer&rdquo;) to purchase all of
the issued and outstanding shares of CVR&rsquo;s common stock (the &ldquo;Shares&rdquo;) for a price of $30 per Share in cash,
without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, plus one non-transferable contingent cash payment right for each Share
(the &ldquo;CCP&rdquo;), which represents the contractual right to receive an additional cash payment per Share if a definitive
agreement for the sale of CVR is executed within fifteen months following the expiration of the Offer and such transaction closes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York
City time, on May 4, 2012. On May 7, 2012, the Company announced the results of the Offer. A total of 48,112,317 Shares were validly
tendered for $30 per share plus a contingent value right. As all of the terms and conditions of the offer have been satisfied,
the IEP Parties have accepted for payment all of the tendered shares, which represent approximately 63% of the outstanding Shares
held by shareholders unaffiliated with the IEP Parties. Following the purchase of these Shares, the IEP Parties will own approximately
69% of the outstanding Shares.</P>

Agreement, on May 7, 2012, all but two of nine of the current members of the board of directors of CVR have resigned and been replaced
by seven directors designated by IEP Energy.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

has commenced and will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 18, 2012. During the subsequent offering period, holders
of Shares who did not tender their Shares during the initial offer period may tender their Shares and receive the same consideration
of $30 per Share plus a contingent value right.</P>
