Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events. Icahn Enterprises Distribution On May 5, 2015, 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, 2015 to depositary unit holders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2015. Depositary unit holders have until June 11, 2015 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, 2015. 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. Metals On April 25, 2015, IEP Ferrous Brazil LLC ("IEP Ferrous"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, entered into an agreement which provides that IEP Ferrous will tender for any and all of the outstanding shares of Ferrous Resources Limited ("Ferrous Resources") for total consideration of up to $230 million and backstop a certain rights offering of up to $40 million. This transaction is subject to certain terms and conditions, including the receipt of certain government and shareholder approvals. We cannot assure you that this transaction will be consummated. If we are able to close on the transaction, IEP Ferrous will control Ferrous Resources and its results will be reported as part of our Metals' segment. The acquisition of Ferrous Resources, if consummated, would not be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Under the agreement, ARI has the exclusive right to sales opportunities related to Repair Services, except for any sales opportunity related to Repair Services presented to ACF by ARL with respect to ARL-owned railcars. ARI also has the right to assign any sales opportunities related to Repair Services to ACF, and ACF has the right, but not the obligation, to accept such sales opportunity. Subject to certain early termination events, the agreement terminates on December 31, 2020. Also in April 2015, ARI entered into a parts purchasing and sale agreement with ACF.
