Distribution
On November 2, 2012, the board of directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.35 per depositary unit, comprised of a combination of $0.10 payable in cash and $0.25 payable in depositary units. The distribution will be paid on November 30, 2012 to depositary unitholders of record at the close of business on November 15, 2012. We calculated the depositary units to be distributed based on the 20 trading-day volume weighted-average price of our depositary units ended on October 31, 2012, resulting in 0.005978 of a unit to be distributed per depositary unit.  To the extent that the aggregate units distributed to any holder include a fraction of a unit, that fractional unit will be settled in cash.

Formation and Initial Public Offering of CVR Refining, LP
During the third quarter of 2012, in contemplation of an initial public offering, CRLLC formed CVR Refining Holdings, LLC, which in turn formed CVR Refining GP, LLC. CVR Refining Holdings, LLC and CVR Refining GP, LLC formed the Refining Partnership which issued them a 100% limited partnership interest and a non-economic general partner interest, respectively. CVR Refining Holdings, LLC formed CVR Refining, LLC and CRLLC contributed its petroleum and logistics subsidiaries in October 2012, as well as its equity interests in Coffeyville Finance Inc., to CVR Refining, LLC in October 2012.
On October 1, 2012, the Refining Partnership filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to effect an initial public offering of its common units representing limited partner interests (the “Offering”). The number of common units to be sold in the Offering has not yet been determined. The Offering is subject to numerous conditions including, without limitation, market conditions, pricing, regulatory approvals, including clearance from the SEC, compliance with contractual obligations, and reaching agreements with the underwriters and lenders.
Upon consummation of the Offering, CVR will indirectly own the Refining Partnership's general partner and limited partnership interests in the form of common units. There can be no assurance that any such offering will be consummated on the terms described in the registration statement or at all. Following the Offering, the Refining Partnership will have two types of partnership interests outstanding:

common units representing limited partner interests, a portion of which the Refining Partnership will have sold in the Offering; and

a general partner interest, which is not entitled to any distributions, and which will be held by the Refining Partnership's general partner.
Following the Offering, the Refining Partnership expects to make quarterly cash distributions to unitholders. The board of directors of the general partner will adopt a policy, which it may change at any time, whereby distributions for each quarter will be in an amount equal to available cash generated in such quarter. Available cash will be determined by the board of directors of the general partner.
The general partner will manage and operate the Refining Partnership. Common unitholders will only have limited voting rights on matters affecting the Refining Partnership's business. Common unitholders will have no right to elect the general partner or its directors on an annual or other continuing basis.
Issuance of Second Lien Senior Secured Notes and Tender Offer
On October 23, 2012, Refining LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coffeyville Finance Inc. (the “CVR Issuers”), completed a private offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Second Lien Secured Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"). The 2022 Notes were issued at par. Refining LLC received approximately $493 million of cash proceeds, net of the underwriting fees, but before deducting other third-party fees and expenses associated with the offering. The 2022 Notes are secured by substantially the same assets that secure the outstanding Second Lien Notes, subject to exceptions, until such time that the outstanding Second Lien Notes have been discharged in full.
Approximately $348 million of the net proceeds from the offering was used to purchase approximately $323 million of the 9.0% First Lien Notes due April 1, 2015 pursuant to a tender offer and to settle accrued interest of approximately $2 million through October 23, 2012 and to pay related fees and expenses. A premium of approximately $23 million was incurred associated with the tender. The debt issuance costs of the 2022 Notes will be amortized over the term of the 2022 Notes as interest expense using the effective-interest amortization method. The 2022 Notes mature on November 1, 2022, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Issuers. Interest is payable on the 2022 Notes semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2013.
CRLLC intends to use the remaining proceeds from the offering to either (1) purchase the remaining $124 million of existing First Lien Note, if any, tendered in the tender offer by November 5, 2012 or (2) redeem any remaining non-tendered First Lien Notes on November 23, 2012 pursuant to a notice of redemption issued on October 23, 2012. Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
The 2022 Notes will be secured by substantially the same assets that secure the outstanding Second Lien Notes, subject to exceptions, until such time that the outstanding Second Lien Notes have been discharged in full.
The 2022 Notes are guaranteed by Refining LLC and its existing domestic subsidiaries. Prior to the redemption, repurchase or other discharge in full of the existing Second Lien Notes, the 2022 Notes will also be guaranteed by Coffeyville Resources. CVR and CVR Partners, LP and its subsidiary are not guarantors.
The 2022 Notes mature on November 1, 2022. At any time prior to November 1, 2017 the CVR Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2022 Notes at the “make-whole” redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to November 1, 2015, the CVR Issuers at their option, may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes at 106.5% of the principal amount with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering. On or after November 1, 2017, the CVR Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2022 Notes at the redemption prices set forth below (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, redeemed during the twelve month period beginning November 1 of the years indicated below:

In the event of a “change of control” as defined in the indenture governing the 2002 Notes, the CVR Issuers are required to offer to buy back all of the 2022 Notes at 101% of their principal amount. A change of control is generally defined as (1) the direct or indirect sale or transfer (other than by a merger) of “all or substantially all of the assets of Refining LLC” to any person other than Qualifying Owners (as defined in the indenture), (2) liquidation or dissolution of Refining LLC, or (3) any person, other than a Qualifying Owner, directly or indirectly acquiring 50% of the voting stock of Refining LLC.
The indenture governing the 2022 Notes restricts the ability of Refining LLC and its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; (ii) pay distributions on, or repurchase, equity interests; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur liens; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate with another company; and (vii) transfer and sell assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. If at any time the 2022 Notes are rated investment grade by each of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of these restrictive covenants will terminate. However, such covenants would be reinstituted if the 2022 Notes subsequently lost their investment grade rating. The indenture also includes customary events of default.
Wynnewood Refinery Major Scheduled Turnaround
The Wynnewood refinery began turnaround maintenance in the fourth quarter of 2012. CVR expects to incur approximately $100 million of expenses during 2012 related to the Wynnewood refinery's turnaround. The Wynnewood refinery has incurred approximately $13 million of turnaround costs for the period May 5, 2012 through September 30, 2012. It is anticipated that the downtime associated with the Wynnewood refinery turnaround will approximate 40 to 45 days and will significantly impact the revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Nitrogen Fertilizer Major Scheduled Turnaround
The nitrogen fertilizer facility's previously scheduled major turnaround began on October 3, 2012. The turnaround was completed on October 22, 2012 with the gasification and ammonia units in operation on that date and the UAN unit in operation on October 25, 2012. Operating income is impacted negatively by both the expenses associated with the scheduled turnaround and the lost revenue the CVR LP would have generated had the nitrogen fertilizer plant not been shut down. Turnaround expenses are recognized as incurred as a component of direct operating expenses. As of September 30, 2012, less than $1 million of turnaround expenses had been incurred. It is estimated that approximately $5 million of expenses were incurred in October 2012 associated with the turnaround.
Gaming
        Hurricane Sandy forced a city mandated five-day closure for all casinos in Atlantic City beginning on October 28, 2012. Although our Gaming segment does not believe that it incurred any significant damage to its Tropicana AC facility and reopened on November 2, 2012, an estimate of the amount of loss cannot currently be made.
Tender Offer - Oshkosh Corporation
On October 17, 2012, IEP Vehicles Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IEP Vehicles Sub”) and Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Icahn Enterprises Holdings”, and together with IEP Vehicles Sub, the “Offeror”), filed a Schedule TO in connection with the offer by the Offeror to purchase for cash any and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Oshkosh Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (“Oshkosh”), at a price of $32.50 per share, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, if any (the “Offer”). Both IEP Vehicles Sub and Icahn Enterprises Holdings are co-bidders for all purposes in the Offer.
On  October 26, 2012, the Oshkosh Board of Directors rejected the Offer and adopted a rights plan, or poison pill.  In addition, on October 26, 2012, affiliates of the Offeror submitted a notice to Oshkosh of its intent to nominate a full slate of directors at Oshkosh's upcoming annual shareholder meeting.
