Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events. Icahn Enterprises Distribution On April 30, 2019, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $2.00 per depositary unit, which will be paid on or about June 20, 2019 to depositary unitholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2019. Depositary unitholders will have until June 10, 2019 to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units; if a unitholder does not make an election, it will automatically be deemed to have elected to receive the distribution in cash. Depositary unitholders 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 5 consecutive trading days ending June 17, 2019. No fractional depositary units will be issued pursuant to the distribution payment. Icahn Enterprises will make a cash payment in lieu of issuing fractional depositary units to any unitholders electing to receive depositary units. Any unitholders that would only be eligible to receive a fraction of a depositary unit based on the above calculation will receive a cash payment. Potential Open Market Sale Agreement On May 2, 2019, Icahn Enterprises announced its intention to enter into an Open Market Sale Agreement, pursuant to which Icahn Enterprises may sell its depositary units, from time to time, for up to $400 million in aggregate sales proceeds. The proceeds from these transactions, if any, will be used to fund potential acquisitions as well as for general limited partnership purposes.
