Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events. Icahn Enterprises On July 31, 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 September 25, 2014 to depositary unit holders of record at the close of business on August 18, 2014. Depositary unit holders have until September 9, 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 September 23, 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. Energy On July 29, 2014, CVR's Coffeyville refinery experienced a fire at its isomerization unit. Four employees were injured in the fire. The fire was extinguished, and the refinery was subsequently shut down due to a failure of its distributed control system, which was directly caused by the fire. CVR is currently evaluating the resulting damage and estimated cost of repairs. Based upon CVR's preliminary assessment of the damage, it is currently anticipated that the refinery will be down approximately four weeks. CVR maintains property damage insurance policies which have an associated deductible of $5.0 million for its Coffeyville refinery. CVR anticipates that if the cost of repairs exceeds the $5.0 million deductible, such amounts in excess of $5.0 million should be recoverable under the property insurance policies. While CVR maintains business interruption insurance with a 45 day waiting period, it is not currently anticipated that business interruption will be triggered. CVR also maintains workers' compensation with a $0.5 million accident deductible.
