GP Allocation
As disclosed in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Acquisition, Investments and Disposition of Entities under Common Control," upon the sale of common control entities, such as Federal-Mogul and ARI, a portion of the gain or loss on the sale is first allocated to the general partner in order to restore the general partners' capital account for cumulative charges or credits relating to periods prior to our obtaining a controlling interest in such entities from Mr. Icahn and his affiliates. After such general partner allocation, the remaining gain is allocated among our general partner and limited partners, in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.
LP Unit Transactions
Unit Distributions
During each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we declared four quarterly distributions. Depositary unitholders were given the option to make an election to receive the distributions in either cash or additional depositary units. If a holder did not make an election, it was automatically deemed to have elected to receive the distributions in cash. As a result, during each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we distributed an aggregate 17,778,950, 17,644,152 and 12,574,723, respectively, of Icahn Enterprises' depositary units to those depositary unitholders who elected to receive such distributions in additional depositary units.
2017 Incentive Plan
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, Icahn Enterprises distributed an aggregate of 22,840 and 7,902, respectively, depositary units, net of payroll withholdings, with respect to certain restricted depositary units and deferred unit awards that vested during the period in connection with the Icahn Enterprises L.P. 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2017 Incentive Plan"). The aggregate impact of the 2017 Incentive Plan is not material with respect to our consolidated financial statements, including the calculation of potentially dilutive units and diluted income per LP unit.
Rights Offering
In January 2017, Icahn Enterprises commenced a rights offering entitling holders of the rights to acquire newly issued depositary units of Icahn Enterprises. In connection with this rights offering, we received aggregate proceeds of $600 million in 2017 from depositary unitholders and an additional $12 million from our general partner in order to maintain its aggregate 1.99% interest in us. As a result, we distributed an aggregate of 11,171,104 newly issued depositary units.
