        <footnote id="F3">Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated February 2, 2011, and in connection with the registered public offering of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &quot;Common Stock&quot;) of CVR Energy, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;), pursuant to the final prospectus filed by the Company on February 4, 2011, which offering was consummated on February 8, 2011, CA II sold 15,113,254 shares of Common Stock, which represented all of the Common Stock that CAII owned.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The Funds are members of CA II and own common units of CA II. The Funds' common units corresponded to 14,965,434 shares of Common Stock. The common units of CA II that corresponded to the balance of the Common Stock owned by CA II are held by certain officers and directors of the Company.  CAII no longer owns any Common Stock of the Company.</footnote>

CAII and the Funds do not beneficially own directly or indirectly any shares of Common Stock.  Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to have beneficially owned indirectly, through certain investment partnerships that are members of and own common units of CA II, the shares of Common Stock that were sold by CA II because (i) affiliates of Goldman Sachs and GS Group are the general partner, managing limited partner, managing partner, managing member or member of those investment partnerships and (ii) those investment partnerships control CA II and had the power to vote and dispose of the Common Stock owned by CA II.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F6">The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock in excess of their pecuniary interest, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.</footnote>
