Icahn Enterprises
Distribution
On February 11, 2013, we announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner approved a modification to our distribution policy to provide for an increase in the annual distribution from $1.40, comprised of $0.40 in cash and $1.00 in depositary units, to $4.00 per depositary unit, payable in either cash or additional depositary units, at the election of each depositary unit holder. Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, the owner of approximately 90.5% of the Icahn Enterprises' outstanding depositary units as of March 13, 2013, have indicated that it is their present intention to elect to receive the increase in Icahn Enterprises’ cash distribution in additional depositary units for the foreseeable future.
On February 10, 2013, the Board of Directors of the general partner declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.00, which will be paid on or about April 15, 2013 to depositary unit holders of record at the close of business on February 21, 2013. Depositary unit holders will have until March 14, 2013 to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units; if a holder does not make an election, it will automatically be deemed to have elected to receive the dividend in cash. Depositary unit holders who elect to receive additional depositary units will receive units valued at the volume weighted average trading price of the units on NASDAQ during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately following the election deadline. No fractional depositary units will be issued pursuant to the dividend payment. Icahn Enterprises will make a cash payment in lieu of issuing fractional depositary units to any holders electing to receive depositary units. Any holders that would only be eligible to receive a fraction of a depositary unit based on the above calculation will receive a cash payment.
Equity Offering
On February 28, 2013, Icahn Enterprises entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies & Company, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), providing for the issuance and purchase of an aggregate of 3,174,604 depositary units representing limited partner interests in Icahn Enterprises at a price to the public of $63.00 per depositary unit (the “Equity Offering”). The depositary units were delivered to the unitholders on March 6, 2013, raising $193 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering related fees and expenses. In connection with this offering, our general partner made an aggregate contribution of $4 million to Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings in order to maintain its aggregate 1.99% general partner interest in Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings.
As a result of the newly issued shares in connection with the equity offering discussed above, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates owned approximately 90.5% of the Icahn Enterprises' outstanding depositary units as of March 13, 2013.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Icahn Enterprises also granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to 476,191 additional depositary units at the same public offering price.
The issuance and purchase of the depositary units in connection with the Equity Offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-333-158705) filed by Icahn Enterprises with the SEC on April 22, 2009, as amended on April 13, 2010, and declared effective by the SEC on May 17, 2010.
We intends to use the net proceeds from the Equity Offering for general partnership purposes, which may include investments in operating subsidiaries and potential acquisitions in accordance with our investment strategy.
Automotive
In February 2013, Federal-Mogul's Board of Directors approved evaluation of restructuring opportunities (with a focus on closing or downsizing manufacturing facilities, primarily in Western Europe) in order to improve operating performance. The restructuring is intended to take place between the year ending December 31, 2013 and 2015 and the specific details of the plans, including the impacted facilities, are not yet finalized and subject to Federal-Mogul's Board review.
Energy
Initial Public Offering of CVR Refining, LP
On January 23, 2013, the Refining Partnership completed its initial public offering of its common units representing limited partner interests (the “Refining Partnership IPO”). The Refining Partnership sold 24,000,000 common units at a price of $25.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $600 million, before giving effect to underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. Of the common units issued, 4,000,000 units were purchased by a wholly owned subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises. Additionally, on January 30, 2013, the underwriters closed their option to purchase an additional 3,600,000 common units at a price of $25.00 per common unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $90 million, before giving effect to underwriting discounts and other offering costs.
Following the Refining Partnership IPO, CVR Energy indirectly owns approximately 81% of the Refining Partnership's outstanding common units and 100% of the Partnership's general partner, which holds a non-economic general partner interest.
The proceeds from the Refining Partnership IPO have been, or will be, utilized as follows:

approximately $253 million was used to repurchase CRLLC's 10.875% senior secured notes due 2017 (including accrued interest);
approximately $160 million will be used to pre-fund certain maintenance and environmental capital expenditures through 2014;
approximately $54 million was used to fund the turnaround expenses at the Wynnewood refinery, that were incurred during the fourth quarter of 2012;
approximately $85 million was distributed to CRLLC; and
the balance of the proceeds are being utilized by the Refining Partnership for general partnership purposes.
The Refining Partnership's general partner, CVR Refining GP, LLC, manages the Refining Partnership's activities subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Refining Partnership's partnership agreement. The Refining Partnership's general partner is owned by CVR Refining Holdings. The operations of its general partner, in its capacity as general partner are managed by its board of directors. Actions by its general partner that are made in its individual capacity are made by CVR Refining Holdings as the sole member of the Refining Partnership's general partner and not by the board of directors of its general partner. The Refining Partnership's general partner is not elected by the Refining Partnership's unitholders and will not be subject to re-election on a regular basis in the future. The officers of its general partner manage the day-to-day affairs of the business.
The Refining Partnership has adopted a policy pursuant to which it will distribute all of the available cash it generates each quarter. The available cash for each quarter will be determined by the board of directors of the Refining Partnership's general partner following the end of such quarter. The partnership agreement does not require that the Refining Partnership make cash distributions on a quarterly basis or at all, and the board of directors of the general partner of the Refining Partnership can change the distribution policy at any time.
In connection with the Refining Partnership IPO, the Refining Partnership entered into a services agreement, pursuant to which the Refining Partnership and its general partner will obtain certain management and other services from CVR. In addition, by virtue of the fact that the Refining Partnership is a controlled affiliate of CVR, the Refining Partnership is bound by an omnibus agreement entered into by CVR, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership and its general partner, pursuant to which the Refining Partnership may not engage in, whether by acquisition or otherwise, the production, transportation or distribution, on a wholesale basis, fertilizer in the contiguous United States, or a fertilizer restricted business, for so long as CVR and certain of its affiliates continue to own at least 50% of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership's outstanding units and CVR continues to control the general partner of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership.
CVR Second Lien Senior Secured Notes Repurchase
On January 23, 2013, $253 million of the proceeds from the Refining Partnership's IPO were utilized to satisfy and discharge the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes. The amounts were used to (i) repay the face amount of all $223 million aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Notes then outstanding, (ii) pay the redemption premium of approximately $21 million and (iii) settle accrued interest with respect thereto in an amount of approximately $10 million. The repurchase of the Second Lien Notes resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $6 million for our Energy segment in the first quarter of 2013.
Dividend
On January 24, 2013, the board of directors of CVR adopted a quarterly cash dividend policy. Subject to declaration by its Board of Directors, CVR's initial quarterly dividend is expected to be $0.75 per share, or $3.00 per share on an annualized basis, which it plans to begin paying in the second quarter of 2013. In addition, the Board of Directors of CVR declared a special dividend of $5.50 per share payable on February 19, 2013, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 5, 2013. The total amount of the special dividend payment was approximately $478 million based on the current number of shares outstanding.
Railcar
In January 2013, ARI entered into a purchasing and engineering services agreement and license with ACF. Under this agreement, ARI will provide purchasing support and engineering services to ACF in connection with ACF's manufacture and sale of certain tank railcars at its facility. Additionally, ARI will provide certain other intellectual property related to certain tank railcars required to manufacture and sell those tank railcars. ARI will receive a license fee for any railcars shipped from ACF's facility and will receive a share of the net profits (as defined in the agreement), if any, but will not absorb any losses incurred by ACF. Under the agreement, given ARI's strong backlog for tank railcars through early 2014, ACF will have the exclusive right to manufacture and sell specified tank railcars for any new orders scheduled for delivery to customers on or before January 31, 2014. ARI shall have the exclusive right to any sales opportunities for such tank railcars for any new orders scheduled for delivery after that date and through December 31, 2014. ARI also has the right to assign any sales opportunity to ACF, and ACF has the right, but not the obligation, to accept such sales opportunity. Any sales opportunity accepted by ACF will not be reflected in ARI's orders or backlog. Subject to certain early termination events, the agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2014.
During February 2013, ARI made the First Draw of $50 million under its lease fleet financing, resulting in net proceeds received of approximately $50 million. After this draw, availability under the lease fleet financing is up to $50 million.
On March 1, 2013, ARI completed a voluntary redemption of the remaining $175 million of ARI Notes outstanding at a redemption rate of 100.0% of the principal amount of the ARI Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
