Organization and Nature of Business	(1) Organization and Nature of Business Organization CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy”, “CVR”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and marketing industry (the “Petroleum Segment”), the renewable fuels industry (the “Renewables Segment”), and the nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industry through its interest in CVR Partners, LP, a publicly traded limited partnership (the “Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment” or “CVR Partners”). The Petroleum Segment refines and markets high value transportation fuels which consist of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and distillates, as well as activities related to crude gathering and logistics that support the refinery operations. The Renewables Segment refines renewable feedstocks, such as soybean oil, corn oil, and other renewable feedstocks, into renewable diesel and markets renewables products. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizer products primarily in the form of ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”), for the farming industry. CVR’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CVI”. As of December 31, 2024, Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates, including Mr. Carl C. Icahn (“IEP”), owned approximately 66% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On January 8, 2025, IEP acquired an additional 1% ownership, or 878,212 additional shares of CVR Energy’s outstanding common stock at a price of $18.25 per share. CVR Partners, LP Interest Holders - As of December 31, 2024, public common unitholders held approximately 61% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units; CVR Energy, through its subsidiaries, held approximately 37% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units and held 100% of CVR Partners’ general partner interests, while IEP held the remaining approximately 2% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units. The noncontrolling interest reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of CVR is only impacted by the results of, distributions from, and unit repurchases by CVR Partners. Unit Repurchase Program - On May 6, 2020, CVR Partners announced that the board of directors of CVR Partners’ general partner (the “UAN GP Board”), on behalf of CVR Partners, authorized a unit repurchase program, which was increased on February 22, 2021 (the “Unit Repurchase Program”). The Unit Repurchase Program authorized CVR Partners to repurchase up to $20 million of CVR Partners’ common units. On February 20, 2024, the UAN GP Board, on behalf of CVR Partners, terminated the nominal authority remaining under the Unit Repurchase Program. From authorization through March 2022, CVR Partners repurchased, on a split-adjusted basis, 759,250 common units on the open market in accordance with a repurchase agreement under Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a cost of $20 million exclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $26.33 per common unit. Prior to the termination of the Unit Repurchase Program in 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, CVR Partners did not repurchase any common units.
