Investment
Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds, including Icahn Partners L.P. ("Icahn Partners"), Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP (collectively, the "Master Funds," and together with Icahn Partners, the "Investment Funds"), through which we invest our proprietary capital. We and certain of Mr. Icahn's wholly owned affiliates are the sole investors in the Investment Funds. Icahn Onshore LP and Icahn Offshore LP (together, the "General Partners") act as the general partner of Icahn Partners and the Master Funds, respectively. The General Partners provide investment advisory and certain administrative and back office services to the Investment Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Investment Funds are not offered to outside investors.
Effective January 1, 2014, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP were merged with and into Icahn Partners. As a result, the Investment Funds now consist solely of Icahn Partners and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP. Other than this merger, no other organizational or policy changes were made within our Investment segment.
We had interests in the Investment Funds with a fair value of approximately $4.7 billion and $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings) had direct investments in the Investment Funds of approximately $4.6 billion and $4.7 billion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Automotive
We conduct our Automotive segment through our majority ownership in Federal-Mogul. Federal-Mogul is a leading global supplier of a broad range of components, accessories and systems to the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty, marine, railroad, agricultural, off-road, aerospace and energy, industrial and transport markets, including customers in both the original equipment manufacturers and servicers (“OE”) market and the replacement market (“aftermarket”). Federal-Mogul’s customers include the world’s largest automotive OEs and major distributors and retailers in the independent aftermarket.
Federal-Mogul operates with two end-customer focused business segments. The Powertrain (“PT”) business unit focuses on original equipment products for automotive, heavy duty and industrial applications. The Vehicle Components Solutions (“VCS”) business unit sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, chassis, wipers and other vehicle components. This organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and enables the global Federal-Mogul teams to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with Federal-Mogul premium brands. Additionally, this organizational model enhances management focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic or acquisition growth, profit improvement, resource utilization and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases.
As of March 31, 2014, we owned approximately 80.7% of the total outstanding common stock of Federal-Mogul.
As further described in Note 18, "Subsequent Events - Automotive," in April 2014 Federal-Mogul completed a corporate reorganization pursuant to which Federal-Mogul Corporation became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of a new public holding company, Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation.
Acquisitions
In January 2014, Federal-Mogul entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire certain business assets of the Honeywell automotive and industrial brake friction business including two recently established manufacturing facilities in China and Romania for a base purchase price of approximately $155 million subject to post-closing adjustments and a potential earn-out payment of up to $5 million, in each case as further enumerated in the purchase agreement. This transaction is subject to customary approvals from regulatory authorities and other stakeholders where required. Federal-Mogul anticipates closing on this transaction during the second half of 2014.
Also in January 2014, Federal-Mogul entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire Affinia's chassis components business for a base purchase price of $150 million, subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments as further enumerated in the asset purchase agreement. This business serves leading U.S. aftermarket customers with branded and private label chassis product lines. This transaction is subject to customary approvals from regulatory authorities and other stakeholders where required. Federal-Mogul closed on this transaction during the second quarter of 2014.
Accounts Receivable, net
Federal-Mogul's subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Gross accounts receivable transferred under these facilities were $315 million and $271 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Of those gross amounts, $303 million and $258 million, respectively, qualify as sales as defined in FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. The remaining transferred receivables were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within accounts receivable, net and debt. Under the terms of these facilities, Federal-Mogul is not obligated to draw cash immediately upon the transfer of accounts receivable. As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Federal-Mogul had withdrawn all cash related to such transferred receivables. Proceeds from the transfers of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were $410 million and $333 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, expenses associated with transfers of receivables were $2 million and $1 million, respectively. Such expenses were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within other income (loss), net. Where Federal-Mogul receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not incurred as a result of such activities.
Certain of the facilities contain terms that require Federal-Mogul to share in the credit risk of the sold receivables. The maximum exposure to Federal-Mogul associated with certain of these facilities' terms were $21 million as of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Based on Federal-Mogul's analysis of the creditworthiness of its customers on which such receivables were sold and outstanding as of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Federal-Mogul estimated the loss to be immaterial.
Restructuring
During each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Federal-Mogul recorded $8 million in restructuring charges. These restructuring charges consist of employee costs and headcount reduction action plans.
In February 2013, Federal-Mogul's Board of Directors approved the evaluation of restructuring opportunities in order to improve operating performance. Federal-Mogul obtained its Board of Directors' approval to commence a restructuring plan ("Restructuring 2013"). Restructuring 2013 is intended to take place between 2013 and 2015 with an expected total cost of $73 million, of which $58 million and $15 million pertains to employee costs and facility costs, respectively. In connection with Restructuring 2013, Federal-Mogul recorded $4 million and $7 million in restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, substantially all of which pertain to employee costs. These restructuring opportunities include potential plant closures and employee headcount reductions in various countries that require consultation with various parties including, but not limited to, unions/works councils, local governments and/or customers. The consultation process can take a significant amount of time and impact the final outcome and timing. Federal-Mogul's policy is to record a provision for qualifying restructuring costs in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance when the outcome of such consultations becomes probable. Federal-Mogul has entered into consultation with works council for one of its French facilities to potentially cease operations; the outcome of such consultation is not yet probable, but could require restructuring charges in the period in which the good faith negotiations conclude.

We conduct our Energy segment through our majority ownership in CVR. CVR is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries through its holdings in CVR Refining, LP (“CVR Refining”) and CVR Partners, LP (“CVR Partners”), respectively.

On May 28, 2013, Coffeyville Resources, LLC (“CRLLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CVR, completed a secondary offering of common units of CVR Partners. The underwriters were granted an option to purchase additional units at the public offering price, which expired unexercised at the end of the option period. The gross proceeds to CRLLC from this secondary offering were $302 million before giving effect to underwriting discounts and offering expenses. CVR Partners did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common units by CRLLC.
