Holding Company
Our Holding Company debt consists of various issues of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes issued by Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp. (the “Issuers”) and guaranteed by Icahn Enterprises Holdings (the “Guarantor”). Interest on each of the senior unsecured notes are payable semi-annually.
In May and June 2019, the Issuers issued $1.250 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2026. The proceeds from these notes, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem all of the prior outstanding 6.000% senior unsecured notes due 2020 and to pay accrued interest, related fees and expenses.
In September 2019, the Issuers issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due 2024. The proceeds from these notes were used for general limited partnership purposes.
In December 2019, the Issuers issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior unsecured notes due 2027. The proceeds from these notes were used for general limited partnership purposes.
In January 2017, the Issuers issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and $695 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2022. The proceeds from these notes were used to redeem all of the prior outstanding senior unsecured notes due 2017 and to pay accrued interest, related fees and expenses.
In December 2017, the Issuers issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025 and an additional $510 million in aggregate principal amount of its existing 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2022. The proceeds from these notes, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem all of the prior outstanding senior unsecured notes due 2019 and to pay accrued interest, related fees and expenses.
Icahn Enterprises recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2 million in 2019 and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 in connection with the debt transactions discussed above.
Each of our senior unsecured notes and the related guarantees 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 senior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness. All of our senior unsecured notes and the related guarantees are effectively subordinated to the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness. All of our senior unsecured notes and the related guarantees are also effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuers’ subsidiaries other than the Guarantor.
The indentures governing each of our senior unsecured notes restrict the payment of cash distributions, the purchase of equity interests or the purchase, redemption, defeasance or acquisition of debt subordinated to the senior unsecured notes. The indentures also restrict the incurrence of debt or the issuance of disqualified stock, as defined in the indentures, with certain exceptions. In addition, the indentures require that on each quarterly determination date, we and the guarantor of the notes (currently only Icahn Enterprises Holdings) maintain certain minimum financial ratios, as defined therein. The indentures also restrict the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all of our assets, and transactions with affiliates. Additionally, each of the senior unsecured notes outstanding as of December 31, 2019, except for the New 2024 Notes and the New 2027 Notes, are subject to optional redemption premiums in the event we redeem any of the notes prior to certain dates as described in the indentures.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants, including maintaining certain minimum financial ratios, as defined in the indentures. Additionally, as of December 31, 2019, based on covenants in the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes, we are not permitted to incur additional indebtedness. However, as a result of our subsequent debt activity in January 2020, as described below, we are permitted to borrow an additional $469 million as of the date of this Report.
Subsequent Event
In January 2020, the Issuers issued an additional $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior unsecured notes due 2024 and an additional $250 million of 5.250% senior unsecured notes due 2027. The additional proceeds from these notes issued in January 2020, together with cash on hand, were used to repay in full our 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2022, and to pay accrued interest, related fees and expenses.
