into a Material Definitive Agreement</B></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">On April 18, 2012, IEP Energy LLC (&ldquo;IEP
Energy&rdquo;), an indirect subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), 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 &ldquo;IEP Parties&rdquo;),
entered into a Transaction Agreement (the &ldquo;Transaction Agreement&rdquo;) with CVR Energy, Inc. (&ldquo;CVR&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, no
later than the third business day following the date of the Transaction Agreement, IEP Energy will amend in accordance with the
terms of the Transaction Agreement its pending tender offer (the &ldquo;Offer&rdquo;) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding
shares of CVR&rsquo;s common stock (the &ldquo;Shares&rdquo;) 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 &ldquo;CCP&rdquo;), 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, as amended, will
expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is the later of (i) ten business days after the date the Offer is amended
and (ii) such later date as may be required to resolve any comments made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;)
in respect of the Offer (the &ldquo;Expiration Date&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Offer will be conditioned upon there
being validly tendered (including pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery) and not properly withdrawn, as of immediately prior
to 11:59 p.m. on the Expiration Date, at least 31,661,040 Shares, which when added to the Shares already owned by IEP Energy and
its affiliates, represents a majority of the Shares (the &ldquo;Minimum Condition&rdquo;). The Transaction Agreement provides that
if the Minimum Condition is not satisfied as of immediately prior to 11:59 p.m. on the Expiration Date, and CVR has complied in
all material respects with its obligations under the Transaction Agreement, the IEP Parties must immediately terminate the Offer
and discontinue their previously announced intention to replace all nine directors on CVR&rsquo;s board of directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;)
at CVR&rsquo;s 2012 annual meeting of stockholders (the &ldquo;CVR 2012 Annual Meeting&rdquo;) and not present any other proposal
for consideration at the CVR 2012 Annual Meeting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">If, following the closing of the Offer,
the Minimum Condition is satisfied but IEP Energy holds less than 90% of the outstanding Shares, the Transaction Agreement requires
IEP Energy to provide for a ten-business-day subsequent offering period during which stockholders who did not previously tender
will have a second opportunity to tender their Shares for the same consideration of $30 per Share plus the CCP (the &ldquo;Subsequent
Offering Period&rdquo;). If, following the closing of the Offer or the Subsequent Offering Period, IEP Energy holds at least 90%
of the outstanding Shares, IEP Energy is required to cause a short-form merger of CVR with IEP Energy under Section 253 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the &ldquo;Short-Form Merger&rdquo;). If the Short-Form Merger occurs, all remaining Shares will
be cancelled and the holders thereof will receive $30 in cash plus the CCP for each Share, except for Shares held by any stockholder
that elects to assert statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, immediately
and contingent upon the closing of the Offer, all but two of the current members of the Board will resign and be replaced by an
equal number of directors designated by IEP Energy. Effective upon the earlier of the completion of the Subsequent Offering Period
and the Short-Form Merger, the remaining two directors will resign from the Board and be replaced by two directors designated by
IEP Energy.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Promptly following the consummation of the
Offer, for a period of 60 days, CVR will solicit proposals or offers from third parties to acquire CVR (the &ldquo;Marketing Period&rdquo;).
If a proposal to acquire CVR for all-cash consideration equal to or exceeding $35 per Share is made within the Marketing Period
(subject to certain adjustments and qualifications set forth in the Transaction Agreement), the IEP Parties have agreed to support
the proposal, including by voting for or consenting to the proposal if it is submitted to the stockholders of CVR for their vote
or consent. Any holder of CCPs will be entitled to any value realized in excess of $30 per Share, net of any investment banking
fees, subject to the terms of the CCPs.</P>

of a CVR Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the terms of the Offer); the absence of an injunction relating to the Offer; IEP
Energy becoming aware of material misstatements or omissions in CVR&rsquo;s SEC reports; CVR not making any non-ordinary course
material enhancements to executive compensation; CVR not making any non-ordinary course acquisitions or dispositions of assets
(including completing the previously announced sale of a portion of the CVR&rsquo;s stake in CVR Partners, LP ); CVR not entering
into any agreement for a merger, consolidation, business combination or reorganization transaction; and the taking of any actions
by CVR intended to cause the failure of a condition to the Offer, except for the Minimum Condition.</P>

Item 1.01           Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement
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").
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, no
later than the third business day following the date of the Transaction Agreement, IEP Energy will amend in accordance with the
terms of the Transaction Agreement its pending 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, as amended, will
expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is the later of (i) ten business days after the date the Offer is amended
and (ii) such later date as may be required to resolve any comments made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
in respect of the Offer (the "Expiration Date").
The Offer will be conditioned upon there
being validly tendered (including pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery) and not properly withdrawn, as of immediately prior
to 11:59 p.m. on the Expiration Date, at least 31,661,040 Shares, which when added to the Shares already owned by IEP Energy and
its affiliates, represents a majority of the Shares (the "Minimum Condition"). The Transaction Agreement provides that
if the Minimum Condition is not satisfied as of immediately prior to 11:59 p.m. on the Expiration Date, and CVR has complied in
all material respects with its obligations under the Transaction Agreement, the IEP Parties must immediately terminate the Offer
and discontinue their previously announced intention to replace all nine directors on CVR's board of directors (the "Board")
at CVR's 2012 annual meeting of stockholders (the "CVR 2012 Annual Meeting") and not present any other proposal
for consideration at the CVR 2012 Annual Meeting.
If, following the closing of the Offer,
the Minimum Condition is satisfied but IEP Energy holds less than 90% of the outstanding Shares, the Transaction Agreement requires
IEP Energy to provide for a ten-business-day subsequent offering period during which stockholders who did not previously tender
will have a second opportunity to tender their Shares for the same consideration of $30 per Share plus the CCP (the "Subsequent
Offering Period"). If, following the closing of the Offer or the Subsequent Offering Period, IEP Energy holds at least 90%
of the outstanding Shares, IEP Energy is required to cause a short-form merger of CVR with IEP Energy under Section 253 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Short-Form Merger"). If the Short-Form Merger occurs, all remaining Shares will
be cancelled and the holders thereof will receive $30 in cash plus the CCP for each Share, except for Shares held by any stockholder
that elects to assert statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, immediately
and contingent upon the closing of the Offer, all but two of the current members of the Board will resign and be replaced by an
equal number of directors designated by IEP Energy. Effective upon the earlier of the completion of the Subsequent Offering Period
and the Short-Form Merger, the remaining two directors will resign from the Board and be replaced by two directors designated by
IEP Energy.
Promptly following the consummation of the
Offer, for a period of 60 days, CVR will solicit proposals or offers from third parties to acquire CVR (the "Marketing Period").
If a proposal to acquire CVR for all-cash consideration equal to or exceeding $35 per Share is made within the Marketing Period
(subject to certain adjustments and qualifications set forth in the Transaction Agreement), the IEP Parties have agreed to support
the proposal, including by voting for or consenting to the proposal if it is submitted to the stockholders of CVR for their vote
or consent. Any holder of CCPs will be entitled to any value realized in excess of $30 per Share, net of any investment banking
fees, subject to the terms of the CCPs.
The obligation of IEP Energy to accept for
payment and pay for Shares tendered in the Offer will be subject to certain conditions, including, among other things: the absence
of a CVR Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the terms of the Offer); the absence of an injunction relating to the Offer; IEP
Energy becoming aware of material misstatements or omissions in CVR's SEC reports; CVR not making any non-ordinary course
material enhancements to executive compensation; CVR not making any non-ordinary course acquisitions or dispositions of assets
(including completing the previously announced sale of a portion of the CVR's stake in CVR Partners, LP ); CVR not entering
into any agreement for a merger, consolidation, business combination or reorganization transaction; and the taking of any actions
by CVR intended to cause the failure of a condition to the Offer, except for the Minimum Condition.
The full text of the Transaction Agreement
is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement does not purport to describe all of the
terms of such agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is filed
as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Transaction Agreement contains representations
and warranties by CVR and the IEP Parties that were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specified dates. The representations,
warranties and covenants in the Transaction Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Transaction Agreement
(except as otherwise specified therein), may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties and may be subject
to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. In addition,
information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Transaction
Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in CVR's public disclosures.
