The portions of unrealized losses that relate to securities still held by our Investment segment, primarily equity securities, were $187 million, $302 million and $1,544 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As discussed in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” when certain investments become subject to the equity method of accounting, our Investment segment elects the fair value option to such investment. Investments become subject to the equity method of accounting when we possess the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when we possess more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee. This presumption may be overcome based on specific facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise significant influence is restricted. Conversely, there is a presumption that for investments in which we have less than 20% of the voting interests of the investee that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence. However,

such presumption may be overcome based on specific facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise significant influence is present, such as when we have representation on the board of directors of such investee.

After considering specific facts and circumstances, including the collective ownership in entities by the Investment Funds and affiliates of Mr. Icahn, as well as their collective representation on each of the boards of directors, we have determined that we had the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of certain investees of our Investment segment.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Investment Funds sold their entire investment in Xerox. Prior to the sale of its investment in Xerox, the Investment Funds owned approximately 22.0% of the outstanding common stock of Xerox. Due to the nature of our Investment segment’s operations, the sale of Xerox was deemed to be in the ordinary course of business.
