Beckton is the sole stockholder of Icahn Enterprises GP, which is the general partner of Icahn Enterprises Holdings. Carl C. Icahn is the sole stockholder of Beckton. As such, Mr. Icahn is in a position indirectly to determine the investment and voting decisions made by each of the Reporting Persons. In addition, Mr. Icahn is the indirect holder of approximately 88.8% of the outstanding depositary units representing limited partnership interests in Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("Icahn Enterprises"). Icahn Enterprises GP is the general partner of Icahn Enterprises, which is the sole limited partner of Icahn Enterprises Holdings.

Icahn Enterprises Holdings is primarily engaged in the business of holding direct or indirect interests in various operating businesses. Icahn Enterprises GP is primarily engaged in the business of serving as the general partner of each of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings. Beckton is primarily engaged in the business of holding the capital stock of Icahn Enterprises GP.

The name, citizenship, present principal occupation or employment and business address of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Persons are set forth in Schedule A attached hereto.

None of the Reporting Persons nor any manager or executive officer of the Reporting Persons, has, during the past five years, (a) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, in the aggregate, 6,558,083 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts). Of such Shares, 6,076,365 Shares were purchased by the Reporting Persons collectively for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $88.3 million. Of the remaining Shares, 481,718 Shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as a result of their having entered into forward contracts with respect to such number of Shares at a forward price of $14.00 per share (the "Forwards"), for an aggregate forward price of approximately $6.7 million, plus a financing charge. The forward price is subject to adjustment to account for any dividends or other distributions declared by the Issuer.  In addition, the Reporting Persons paid the counterparty to the Forwards an aggregate amount of approximately $0.8 million upon entering into such forward contracts.

The source of funding for the Shares held by the Reporting Persons (including Shares underlying forward contracts) was the general working capital of the respective purchasers.  The Shares held by the Reporting Persons are held in margin accounts together with other securities. Such margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. Part of the purchase price of such Shares was obtained through margin borrowing.


Item 4.                          Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons believe that the Issuer's retail automotive parts segment presents an excellent synergistic acquisition opportunity for Auto Plus, a leading automotive aftermarket company wholly owned by Icahn Enterprises. To that end, representatives of the Reporting Persons have had, and intend to continue to have, discussions with the Issuer and various parties that participated in the Issuer's strategic alternatives review process regarding potential transactions involving the Issuer's retail segment.

The Reporting Persons reserve the right to propose other transactions which relate to or would result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time: (i) acquire additional Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, instruments or other securities (collectively, "Securities") of the Issuer (or its affiliates) in the open market or otherwise; (ii) dispose of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; or (iii) engage in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities.


Item 5.                          Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 6,558,083 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts), representing approximately 12.12% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the 54,108,894 Shares stated to be outstanding as of November 12, 2015 by the Issuer in the Issuer's Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2015).

(b) Icahn Enterprises Holdings has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to 6,558,083 Shares (including Shares underlying forward contracts). Each of Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to such Shares.

Each of Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to Icahn Enterprises Holdings (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which Icahn Enterprises Holdings directly beneficially owns. Each of Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.
