GP Allocation

As disclosed in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Acquisition, Investments and Disposition of Entities under Common Control,” upon the sale of common control entities, such as PSC Metals, a portion of the gain or loss on the sale is first allocated to the general partner in order to restore the general partners’ capital account for cumulative charges or credits relating to periods prior to our obtaining a controlling interest in such entities from Mr. Icahn and his affiliates. After such general partner allocation, the remaining gain is allocated among our general partner and limited partners, in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

Unit Distributions

During each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we declared four quarterly distributions. Depositary unitholders were given the option to make an election to receive the distributions in either cash or additional depositary units. If a holder did not make a timely election, it was automatically deemed to have elected to receive the distributions in additional depositary units.

At-The-Market-Offerings

In May 2019, Icahn Enterprises entered into a new Open Market Sale Agreement, pursuant to which Icahn Enterprises was able to sell its depositary units, from time to time, for up to $400 million in aggregate sale proceeds, under its ongoing “at-the-market” offering. This agreement has been subsequently terminated and superseded by subsequent agreements with substantially the same terms. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Icahn Enterprises sold depositary units pursuant to this agreement, resulting in gross proceeds of $833 million. As of December 31, 2021, we continue to have an active Open Market Sale Agreement and Icahn Enterprises may sell its depositary units for up to an additional $328 million in aggregate gross sale proceeds pursuant to this agreement entered into on December 3, 2021.

2017 Incentive Plan

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we distributed depositary units, net of payroll withholdings, with respect to certain restricted depositary units and deferred unit awards that vested during the respective periods in connection with the Icahn Enterprises L.P. 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 Incentive Plan”). The aggregate impact of the 2017 Incentive Plan is not material with respect to our consolidated financial statements, including the calculation of potentially dilutive units and diluted income per LP unit.
