Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events. Icahn Enterprises Distribution On May 5, 2014, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.50 per depositary unit. The quarterly distribution is payable in either cash or additional depositary units, at the election of each depositary unit holder and will be paid on or about June 30, 2014 to depositary unit holders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2014. Depositary unit holders have until June 11, 2014 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 10 consecutive trading days ending June 25, 2014. 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. Automotive Reorganization On April 15, 2014, Federal-Mogul Corporation completed a holding company reorganization (the “Federal-Mogul Reorganization”). As a result of the Federal-Mogul Reorganization, the outstanding shares of Federal-Mogul Corporation common stock were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation common stock, and all of the stockholders of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Federal-Mogul Reorganization automatically became stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. The rights of stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation are generally governed by Delaware law and Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are the same in all material respects as those of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Federal-Mogul Reorganization. Information presented herein refers to Federal-Mogul Corporation. In addition, references herein to Federal-Mogul refer to Federal-Mogul Corporation for the period prior to the effective time of the Federal-Mogul Reorganization on April 15, 2014 and to Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation for the period after the effective time of the Federal-Mogul Reorganization. Amendment to Credit Agreement On April 15, 2014, Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation, as the new borrower, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) of the Federal-Mogul Credit Agreement, among Federal-Mogul Corporation, the lenders party thereto, Citicorp USA, Inc., as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation and Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as Co-Documentation Agents, with respect to a new tranche B term loan facility (the “New Tranche B Facility”) and a new tranche C term loan facility (the “New Tranche C Facility,” and together with the New Tranche B Facility, the “New Federal-Mogul Facilities”). Immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Amendment, Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation contributed all of the net proceeds from the New Federal-Mogul Facilities to Federal-Mogul Corporation, and Federal-Mogul Corporation repaid its existing outstanding indebtedness as a borrower under the tranche B and tranche C term loan facilities. In connection with this debt refinancing, our Automotive segment anticipates recognizing a non-cash loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $35 million during the quarter ending June 30, 2014, which is primarily attributable to the write-off of debt discounts. The Amendment, among other things, (i) provides for aggregate commitments under the New Tranche B Facility of $700 million with a maturity date of April 15, 2018, (ii) provides for aggregate commitments under the New Tranche C Facility of approximately $1.9 billion with a maturity date of April 15, 2021, (iii) increases the interest rates applicable to the New Federal-Mogul Facilities as described below, (iv) provides that for all outstanding letters of credit there is a corresponding decrease in borrowings available under the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility, (v) provides that in the event that as of a particular determination date more than $700 million aggregate principal amount of existing term loans and certain related refinancing indebtedness will become due within 91 days of such determination date, the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility will mature on such determination date, (vi) provides for additional incremental indebtedness, secured on a pari passu basis, of an unlimited amount of additional indebtedness if Federal-Mogul meets a financial covenant incurrence test, and (vii) amends certain other restrictive covenants. Pursuant to the Amendment, Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation assumed all of the obligations of Federal-Mogul Corporation with respect to the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility under the Federal-Mogul Credit Agreement. Advances under the New Tranche B Facility generally bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 2.00% or (ii) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus a margin of 3.00%, subject, in each case, to a minimum rate of 1.00% plus the applicable margin. Advances under the New Tranche C Facility generally bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 2.75% or (ii) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus a margin of 3.75%, subject, in each case, to a minimum rate of 1.00% plus the applicable margin. Due to the refinancing of Federal-Mogul's term loans, the backstop commitment letter provided to Federal-Mogul on December 6, 2013 from High River Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Mr. Carl C. Icahn, was terminated.
