Debt Offerings
On January 21, 2014, the Issuers closed on our sale of $1.200 billion in aggregate principal amount of our 6% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Additional 2020 Notes”), $1.275 billion in aggregate principal amount of our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and $1.175 billion in aggregate principal amount of our 3.500% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes” and together with the Additional 2020 Notes and the 2019 Notes, the “New Notes”) pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated January 8, 2014 (the “Initial New Notes Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, as guarantor, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as initial purchasers (the “New Notes Purchasers”). The Additional 2020 Notes were priced at 102.000% of their face amount plus interest accrued from August 1, 2013 and each of the 2019 and the 2017 Notes were priced at 100.000% of their face amount.
We used the proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes to refinance our 2010-2012 Notes (see Note 11, "Debt-Senior Unsecured Notes - Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings" for further discussion). As a result of this refinancing, we purchased $3,500 million aggregate principal of the 2010-2012 Notes and recognized a loss of $108 million on extinguishment of debt during the first quarter of 2014. The 2016 Notes and 2018 Notes comprising the 2010-2012 Notes were discharged in full on February 6, 2014.
 Interest on the Additional 2020 Notes will be payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2014. Interest on the 2019 Notes and the 2017 Notes will be payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2014. The New Notes Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Issuers and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the New Notes Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities.  
 The Issuers issued the Additional 2020 Notes under the 2020 Indenture dated August 1, 2013 among the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, as guarantor and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the "Trustee"). The 2020 Indenture contains customary events of defaults and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments.  See Note 11, "Debt-Senior Unsecured Notes - Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings," for additional information regarding redemption terms.
 The Issuers issued the 2019 Notes and the 2017 Notes under an indenture dated as of January 21, 2014 (the “2017 and 2019 Indenture”), among the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, as guarantor, and the Trustee. The 2017 and 2019 Indenture contains customary events of defaults and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments. On or after July 15, 2016 and prior to January 15, 2017, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2019 Notes at a price equal to 103.6563% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with such optional redemption prices decreasing to 102.4375% on and after January 15, 2017 and 100.000% on and after January 15, 2018.  Before July 15, 2016, the Issuers may redeem the 2019 Notes upon repayment of a make-whole premium.

On or after February 15, 2017, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2017 Notes at a price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Issuers experience a change of control, the Issuers must offer to purchase for cash all or any part of each holder’s 2019 Notes and 2017 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of 2019 Notes and 2017 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
 On January 29, 2014, the Issuers closed on the sale of $1.35 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated January 22, 2014 (the “ 2022 Notes Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, as guarantor, and Jefferies LLC, as initial purchaser (the “2022 Notes Purchaser”). The 2022 Notes were priced at 100.000% of their face amount.  The net proceeds from the sale of the 2022 Notes were approximately $1.34 billion after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and estimated fees and expenses related to the offering.  Interest on the 2022 Notes will be payable on February 1and August 1of each year, commencing August 1, 2014. The 2022 Notes Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Issuers and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the 2022 Notes Purchaser, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities.  
The Issuers issued the 2022 Notes under the indenture dated as of January 29, 2014 (the “2022 Indenture”), among the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, as guarantor, and the Trustee. The 2020 Indenture contains customary events of defaults and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments.  On or after August 1, 2017 and prior to February 1, 2018, the Issuers may redeem all of the 2020 Notes at a price equal to 104.406% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with such optional redemption prices decreasing to 102.938% on and after February 1, 2018, 101.469% on or after February 1, 2019 and 100.000% on and after February 1, 2020.  Before August 1, 2017, the Issuers may redeem the 2020 Notes upon repayment of a make-whole premium. Before February 1, 2017, the Issuers may redeem up to 35%of the aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price equal to 105.875% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after such redemption. If the Issuers experience a change of control, the Issuers must offer to purchase for cash all or any part of each holder’s 2020 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
 The New Notes and the 2022 Notes and the related guarantee are the senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and rank equally with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and rank senior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness.  The New Notes and 2022 Notes and the related guarantee are effectively subordinated to the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness.  The New Notes and 2022 Notes and the related guarantee are also effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuers’ subsidiaries other than the Guarantor.
 In connection with the sale of the New Notes and 2022 Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantor entered into two registration rights agreements, one dated January 21, 2014 and the other January 29, 2014 (the “Registration Rights Agreements”), with the New Notes Purchaser and 2022 Notes Purchaser, respectively.  Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, the Issuers have agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC, on or prior to 120 calendar days after the closing of the offering, to register an offer to exchange the New Notes and 2022 Notes for registered notes guaranteed by the Guarantor with substantially identical terms, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective by the 210th day after the closing of the offering.  Additionally, the Issuers and the Guarantor may be required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the New Notes and 2022 Notes in certain circumstances. If the Issuers and the Guarantor fail to satisfy these obligations, the Issuers may be required to pay additional interest to holders of the New Notes and 2022 Notes under certain circumstances.
Distribution
On February 25, 2014, the board of directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.50 per depositary unit, which will be paid on or about April 22, 2014 to depositary unit holders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2014. Depositary unit holders will have until April 3, 2014 to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units; if a holder does not make an election, it will automatically be deemed to have elected to receive the dividend in cash. Depositary unit holders who elect to receive additional depositary units will receive units valued at the volume weighted average trading price of the units on NASDAQ during the 10 consecutive trading days ending April 17, 2014. No fractional depositary units will be issued pursuant to the distribution payment. Icahn Enterprises will make a cash payment in lieu of issuing fractional depositary units to any holders electing to receive depositary units. Any holders that would only be eligible to receive a fraction of a depositary unit based on the above calculation will receive a cash payment.
On March 3, 2014, the board of directors of our general partner announced an increase in our annualized distribution from $5.00 per depositary unit to $6.00 per depositary unit.

In connection with certain financing transactions, on January 30, 2014, Viskase entered into a Credit Agreement with UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the Lenders parties thereto, providing for a $275 million senior secured covenant lite term loan facility (“Term Loan”). A portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan was used to satisfy and discharge all of the existing Viskase 9.875% Notes and Viskase recorded a loss of $16 million in connection with this debt extinguishment.

The Term Loan has a 1% per annum amortization with a maturity date of January 30, 2021. The Term Loan is subject to certain additional mandatory prepayments upon asset sales, incurrence of indebtedness not otherwise permitted, and based upon a percentage of excess cash flow. Prepayments on the Term Loan may be made at any time, subject to a prepayment premium of 1% for certain prepayments during the first six months of the term.
Indebtedness under the Term Loan is secured by liens on substantially all of Viskase’s domestic and Mexican assets, with liens on (i) the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, to be contractually senior to the liens securing the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the intercreditor agreement, (ii) the ABL Priority Collateral, to be contractually subordinate to the liens securing the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the intercreditor agreement, and (iii) all other assets, to be contractually pari passu with the liens securing the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the intercreditor agreement. Our future direct or indirect material domestic subsidiaries are required to guarantee the obligations under the Term Loan, and to provide security by liens on their assets as described above.
