As previously disclosed, on April 18, 2012,
IEP Energy LLC ("IEP Energy"), an indirect subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. (the "Company"), and each
of the other parties listed on the signature pages thereto, each of whom is an affiliate of the Company (collectively with IEP
Energy, the "IEP Parties"), entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") with CVR
Energy, Inc. ("CVR"), with respect to IEP Energy's tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all of
the issued and outstanding shares of CVR's common stock (the "Shares") for a price of $30 per Share in cash,
without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes, plus one non-transferable contingent cash payment right for each Share
(the "CCP"), which represents the contractual right to receive an additional cash payment per Share if a definitive
agreement for the sale of CVR is executed within fifteen months following the expiration of the Offer and such transaction closes.
The Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction
Agreement, on May 7, 2012, all but two of nine of the current members of the board of directors of CVR have resigned and been replaced
