Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisition | Acquisitions. New ARL Prior to October 2, 2013, ARL was a railcar leasing company which was wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Icahn. Earlier in 2013, ARL became a wholly owned subsidiary of IRL which was also wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Icahn. ARL had, for some time, been purchasing railcars from ARI on a non-exclusive basis. In addition, ARL had entered into an agreement to manage a fleet of ARI-produced railcars owned by our subsidiary, AEP Leasing, a subsidiary of American Enterprise Properties Corporation. On September 20, 2013, AEP purchased the remainder of the management agreement between AEP Leasing and ARL for approximately $21 million; ARL then distributed $71 million in cash and $171 million in notes receivable (including interest accrued) to IRL. On October 2, 2013, our subsidiaries, AEP and IEP Energy Holding LLC, entered into a contribution agreement with ARL and IRL pursuant to which AEP contributed approximately $279 million in cash to ARL; on January 1, 2014, AEP contributed the fair market value of its 100% interest in AEP Leasing to New ARL; in exchange, AEP received a 75% membership interest in New ARL. New ARL then incurred additional debt of $381 million in February 2014. Pursuant to the ARL Contribution Agreement, New ARL distributed 381 million to IRL on February 24, 2014. See Note 20, "Subsequent Events - Railcar," for further discussion. These transactions were reviewed and approved by Icahn Enterprises' audit committee which, was advised by its independent counsel and financial adviser. New ARL is an entity under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes include the assets and operations of New ARL for all periods presented. In addition, all earnings and capital transactions prior to our investment in New ARL are allocated to non-controlling interests. The transaction was approved by a special committee of independent members of our board of directors. The special committee was advised by its own legal counsel and independent financial adviser with respect to the transaction. The special committee received an opinion from its financial adviser as to the fairness to us, from a financial point of view, of the consideration paid by us. Other Acquisitions In August 2013, Tropicana entered into an agreement to purchase Lumiére Place Casino, HoteLumiére, the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis and related excess land parcels in St. Louis, Missouri (collectively, "Lumiére") for $260 million in cash, subject to adjustments (the "Lumiére Acquisition"). The transaction is subject to various conditions, including, among others, regulatory approvals from the Missouri Gaming Commission and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”). FTC approval was received in January 2014. The transaction is expected to close in early 2014, although Tropicana can make no assurances that the conditions will be satisfied or that the sale will be consummated in a timely manner, if at all.
