(NYSE: CVI) (&#147;<U>CVR Energy</U>&#148;) recently contributed its petroleum refining and related logistics assets to CVR Refining, LP (NYSE: CVRR) (&#147;<U>CVR Refining</U>&#148;), a newly-formed master limited partnership, and successfully
completed the initial public offering of <U>CVR Refining&#146;s</U> common units.&nbsp;<U>CVR Energy</U> currently retains an approximate 84% interest in <U>CVR Refining</U> and the new unitholders hold&nbsp;the remaining&nbsp;approximate
16%.&nbsp;Pursuant to its cash distribution policy, <U>CVR Refining</U> will make a distribution of 100% of its available cash each quarter. Estimated cash distributions for 2013 are approximately $700 million on a full year basis.&nbsp;As a result,
under the current ownership structure, the new unitholders of <U>CVR Refining</U> would collectively receive approximately $115 million, generating an annualized yield of approximately 19% (based on the initial public offering price of the common
units), and <U>CVR Energy</U> would receive approximately $585 million, in each case, for the year ending December&nbsp;31, 2013. Approximately 40% of&nbsp;<U>CVR Refining&#146;s</U>&nbsp;forecasted production is hedged through 2013 at an

in <U>CVR Refining</U> and <U>CVR Partners</U>, <U>CVR Energy</U> announced today that its Board of Directors has adopted a quarterly cash dividend policy.&nbsp;Subject to declaration by its Board of Directors, <U>CVR Energy&#146;s</U> initial
quarterly dividend is expected to be $0.75 per share, or $3.00 per share on an annualized basis, which the company plans to begin paying in the second quarter of 2013.&nbsp;In addition, utilizing a portion of the company&#146;s cash-on-hand of
approximately $725 million, the Board of Directors of <U>CVR Energy</U> has declared a special dividend of $5.50 per share payable on February&nbsp;19, 2013, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February&nbsp;5, 2013.&nbsp;The total
