Change of Control | (3) Change of Control On April 18, 2012, IEP entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") with CVR, with respect to IEP's tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of CVR's common stock for a price of $30.00 per share in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, plus one CCP, which represented the contractual right to receive an additional cash payment per share if a definitive agreement for the sale of CVR was executed on or prior to August 18, 2013 and such transaction closed. As no sale of the Company was executed by the date outlined in the Transaction Agreement, the CCPs expired on August 19, 2013. In May 2012, IEP announced that a majority of CVR's common stock had been acquired through the Offer. As of December 31, 2013, IEP owned approximately 82% of CVR's outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the settlement terms of all employee restricted share awards were modified. See further discussion at Note 5 ("Share-Based Compensation").
