Related Party Transactions |
Related Party Transactions | (18) Related Party Transactions In May 2012, Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates (collectively, "Icahn") announced that Icahn had acquired control of CVR pursuant to a tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. As of December 31, 2012, Icahn owned approximately 82% of all common shares outstanding. See Note 3 ("Change in Control") for additional discussion. Until February 2011, the Goldman Sachs Funds and Kelso Funds owned approximately 40% of CVR. On February 8, 2011, GS and Kelso completed a registered public offering, whereby GS sold into the public market its remaining ownership interest in CVR and Kelso substantially reduced its interest in the Company. On May 26, 2011, Kelso completed a registered public offering in which Kelso sold into the market its remaining ownership interest in CVR. As a result of these sales, the Goldman Sachs Funds and Kelso Funds are no longer stockholders of the Company. Lease Since March 2009, the Company, through the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership, has leased 200 railcars from American Railcar Leasing LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Carl Icahn, the Company's majority stockholder. The agreement is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2012, $1.1 million of rent expense was recorded related to this agreement and is included in cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Tax Allocation Agreement On May 19, 2012, CVR became a member of the consolidated federal tax group of American Entertainment Properties Corporation ("AEPC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises, and subsequently entered into a tax allocation agreement with AEPC (the "Tax Allocation Agreement"). The Tax Allocation Agreement provides that AEPC will pay all consolidated federal income taxes on behalf of the consolidated tax group. CVR is required to make payments to AEPC in an amount equal to the tax liability, if any, that it would have paid if it were to file as a consolidated group separate and apart from AEPC. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has an overpayment of approximately $9.2 million for federal income taxes due to AEPC under the Tax Allocation Agreement, to be applied as a credit against the Company's estimated tax to be paid during the first quarter of 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company paid $150.7 million to AEPC under the Tax Allocation Agreement. Insight Portfolio Group (formerly Icahn Sourcing, LLC) Icahn Sourcing, LLC ("Icahn Sourcing") is an entity formed and controlled by Mr. Icahn in order to maximize the potential buying power of a group of entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services and tangible and intangible property at negotiated rates. CVR Energy was a member of the buying group in 2012. Prior to December 31, 2012, the Company did not pay Icahn Sourcing any fees or other amounts with respect to the buying group arrangement. In December, 2012, Icahn Sourcing advised CVR Energy that effective January 1, 2013 it would restructure its ownership and change its name to Insight Portfolio Group LLC ("Insight Portfolio Group"). In connection with the restructuring, CVR Energy acquired a minority equity interest in Insight Portfolio Group and agreed to pay a portion of Insight Portfolio Group's operating expenses in 2013. The Company projects payments to Insight Portfolio Group will be approximately $0.1 million during 2013. Interest Rate Swap On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into three Interest Rate Swap agreements with J. Aron & Company. Approximately $(16,000) was recognized in gain (loss) on derivatives, net, related to these swap agreements for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Interest Rate Swap expired June 30, 2010. Financing and Other In connection with the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership IPO, an affiliate of GS received an underwriting fee of approximately $5.7 million for its role as a joint book-running manager. In April 2011, CRNF entered into a credit facility as discussed further in Note 12 ("Long-Term Debt") whereby an affiliate of GS was paid fees and expenses of approximately $2.0 million. In March 2010, CRLLC amended its outstanding first priority credit facility. In connection with the amendment, CRLLC paid a subsidiary of GS fees and expenses of approximately $0.9 million for their services as lead bookrunner. In addition, on April 6, 2010, a subsidiary of GS received a fee of $2.0 million as a participating underwriter upon completion of the issuance of the Old Notes (as described in Note 12 "Long-Term Debt"). For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in expenses for the benefit of GS, Kelso and the president, chief executive officer and chairman of the Board of CVR, in connection with CVR's Registration Rights Agreement. These amounts included registration and filing fees, printing fees, external accounting fees and external legal fees.
