The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general partnership purposes, which may include investments in operating subsidiaries and potential acquisitions in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

Introductory. Icahn Enterprises L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of 3,174,604 of its depositary units representing limited partner interests (the “Depositary Units”). The 3,174,604 Depositary Units to be sold by the Company are called the “Firm Depositary Units.” In addition, the Company has granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 476,191 Depositary Units as provided in Section 2. The additional 476,191 Depositary Units to be sold by the Company pursuant to such option are collectively called the “Optional Depositary Units.” The Firm Depositary Units and, if and to the extent such option is exercised, the Optional Depositary Units are collectively called the “Offered Depositary Units.” Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefferies”) has agreed to act as representative of the several Underwriters (in such capacity, the “Representative”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Depositary Units. To the extent there are no additional underwriters listed on Schedule A, the term “Representative” as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the term “Underwriters” shall mean either the singular or the plural, as the context requires.
The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-158705, including a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”) to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Offered Depositary Units. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), including all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and any information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or 430B under the Securities Act, is called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Depositary Units is called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and from and after the date and time of filing of any such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 28, 2013 describing the Offered Depositary Units and the offering thereof (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Base Prospectus, is called the “Preliminary Prospectus,” and the Preliminary Prospectus and any other prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus in preliminary form that describes the Offered Depositary Units and the offering thereof and is used prior to the filing of the Prospectus (as defined below), together with the Base Prospectus, is called a “preliminary prospectus.” As used herein, the term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus that describes the Offered Depositary Units and the offering thereof (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Base Prospectus, in the form first used by the Underwriters to confirm sales of the Offered Depositary Units or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act. References herein to the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus shall refer to both the prospectus supplement and the Base Prospectus components of such prospectus. As used herein, “Applicable Time” is 7:30 p.m. (New York City time) on February 28, 2013. As used herein, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the Preliminary Prospectus, as amended or supplemented immediately prior to the Applicable Time, together with the information included in Schedule B hereto and the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule C hereto. As used herein, “Road Show” means a “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) relating to the offering of the Offered Depositary Units contemplated hereby that is a “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act). As used herein, “Marketing Materials” means any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Offered Depositary Units, including any Road Show or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically).

21 |
(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party to the extent the indemnifying party is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure and shall not in any event relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), which counsel (together with any local counsel) for the indemnified parties shall be selected by Jefferies (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 9(a) above) or by the Company (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 9(b) above)) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are incurred.
(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 9 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent; provided that such consent was not unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 9(c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.
22 |
Section 10. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Offered Depositary Units pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Offered Depositary Units pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering of the Offered Depositary Units pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Offered Depositary Units as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 9(c) with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 10; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 9(c) for purposes of indemnification. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its prior written consent; provided that such written consent was not unreasonably withheld.
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 10.
23 |
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offered Depositary Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 10, each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
Section 11. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the purchase of the Firm Depositary Units by the Underwriters on the First Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by Jefferies by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NASDAQ, or trading in securities generally on either the NASDAQ or the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal or New York authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of Jefferies is material and adverse and makes it impracticable to market the Offered Depositary Units in the manner and on the terms described in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities. Any termination pursuant to this Section 111 shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other party, except that Section 9 and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
Section 12. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Offered Depositary Units pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Offered Depositary Units and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, or its stockholders, or its creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.
Section 13. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Depositary Units sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

RE: | Icahn Enterprises L.P. (the “Company”) |
Ladies & Gentlemen:
The undersigned is an owner of depositary units representing limited partner interests of the Company (“Depositary Units”) or of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Depositary Units. The Company proposes to conduct a public offering of Depositary Units (the “Offering”) for which Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefferies”) will act as underwriter. The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will benefit each of the Company and the undersigned. The undersigned acknowledges that you are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in conducting the Offering and, at a subsequent date, in entering into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) and other underwriting arrangements with the Company with respect to the Offering.
Annex A sets forth definitions for capitalized terms used in this letter agreement that are not defined in the body of this agreement. Those definitions are a part of this agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, during the Lock-up Period, the undersigned will not (and will cause any Family Member not to), without the prior written consent of Jefferies, which may withhold its consent in its sole discretion:
· | Sell or Offer to Sell any Depositary Units or Related Securities currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned or such Family Member, |
· | enter into any Swap, |
· | make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Depositary Units or Related Securities, or cause to be filed a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) with respect to any such registration, or |
· | publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing. |
The foregoing will not apply to the registration of the offer and sale of the Depositary Units, and the sale of the Depositary Units to you, in each case as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) the transfer of Depositary Units or Related Securities by gift, or by will or intestate succession to a Family Member or to a trust whose beneficiaries consist exclusively of one or more of the undersigned and/or a Family Member or (ii) distributions of Depositary Units to limited partners, members, investors or stockholders of the undersigned or to an affiliate of the undersigned or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to such transfer that:
D-1 |
· | each transferee executes and delivers to Jefferies an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Jefferies stating that such transferee is receiving and holding such Depositary Units and/or Related Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement and agrees not to Sell or Offer to Sell such Depositary Units and/or Related Securities, engage in any Swap or engage in any other activities restricted under this letter agreement except in accordance with this letter agreement (as if such transferee had been an original signatory hereto), and |
· | prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Depositary Units in connection with such transfer. |
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that written notice by Jefferies to the Company of any extension of the 65-day initial lock-up period will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned. The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this letter agreement during the period from the date of this letter agreement through the close of trading on the date that is the 34th day following the expiration of the 65-day initial lock-up period, the undersigned will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate any such transaction or take any such action unless the undersigned has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period has expired.
The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Depositary Units or Related Securities held by the undersigned and the undersigned's Family Members, if any, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Depositary Units and/or any Related Securities owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.
The undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any Family Member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale of the Depositary Units. The undersigned will not, and will cause any Family Member not to take, directly or indirectly, any such action.
Whether or not the Offering occurs as currently contemplated or at all depends on market conditions and other factors. The Offering will only be made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and you. This agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) Jefferies, on one hand, or the Company, on the other, advising the other in writing prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that they have determined not to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement is executed by all parties, but is subsequently terminated by any party thereto pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement prior to any sale of Depositary Units thereunder, or (iii) the Offering shall not have closed by June 30, 2013.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This letter agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.
This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as counsel to Icahn Enterprises L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of a prospectus supplement, dated March 1, 2013 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), to the prospectus, filed on April 22, 2009, as amended on April 13, 2010 and declared effective by the Commission on May 17, 2010, included as part of a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (No. 333- 158705) relating to the issuance and sale to Jefferies & Company, Inc.

Our opinion is expressed as of the date hereof and is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, and case law, in each case as in effect as of the date hereof, any of which may be changed at any time with retroactive effect.

We assume no responsibility to inform you of any change or inaccuracy that may occur or may come to our attention. Further, our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or a court. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not take contrary positions or that a court would agree with our opinion if litigated.

However, there can be no assurance that these expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward - looking statements contained in this presentation. These risks and uncertainties are described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, including under “Risk Factors.” There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward - looking statements.

The Icahn Strategy Across all of our businesses, our success is based on a simple formula: we seek to find undervalued companies in the Graham & D odd tradition. However, while the typical Graham & Dodd value investor purchases undervalued securities and waits for results, we often become actively involve d i n the companies we target. That activity may involve a broad range of approaches, from influencing the management of a target to take steps to improve shareh old er value to acquiring a controlling interest or outright ownership of the target company in order to implement changes that we believe are required to improve it s b usiness, and then operating and expanding that business. This activism has brought about very strong returns over the years. Today, we are a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in the following operating businesses: Investment, Au tom otive, Energy, Gaming, Railcar, Food Packaging, Metals, Real Estate and Home Fashion. Through our Investment segment, we have significant positions in various investments which include Netflix (NFLX), Chesapeake Energy (CHK), Hain Celestial Group (HAIN), Forest Laboratories ( FRX) and Transocean Ltd. (RIG ). (1) Our operating businesses often started out as investment positions in debt or equity securities, held either directly by Icah n E nterprises or Mr. Icahn. Those positions ultimately resulted in control or complete ownership of the target company. Most recently, we acquired a controlling interes t i n CVR Energy, which started out as a position in our Investment segment and is now an operating subsidiary that comprises our Energy segment. As of February 27, 2013, based on the trading price of CVR stock and distribution since we acquired control, we have a gain of approximately $2 billion on our purchase of CVR. The re cent acquisition of control of CVR Energy, like our other operating subsidiaries, reflects our opportunistic approach to value creation, through which returns m ay be obtained by, among other things, promoting change through minority positions at targeted companies in our Investment segment or by acquiring control of those tar get companies that we believed we could run more profitably ourselves. In 2000, we began to expand our business beyond our traditional real estate activities, and to fully embrace our activist str ate gy. On January 1, 2000, our depositary units were selling for $7.625 per depositary unit. On February 27, 2013, our depositary units closed $72.25 per unit – a 1,003% increase, which translates to an annualized return of 20% for those who owned the units through that period (including reinvestment of distributions into additional depositary units a nd taking into account in - kind distributions of depositary units). Comparatively, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial and Russell 2000 indices i ncreased approximately 32%, 68% and 115%, respectively, over the same period, which translates to an annualized return of approximately 2 %, 4% and 6 %, respectively (including reinvestment of distributions into those indices). During the next several years, while interest rates are low, we see a favorable opportunity to follow an activist strategy th at centers on the purchase of target stock and the subsequent removal of any barriers that might interfere with a friendly purchase offer from a strong buyer. Alternatively , i n appropriate circumstances, we or our subsidiaries may become the buyer of target companies, adding them to our portfolio of operating subsidiaries, thereby expand ing our operations through such opportunistic acquisitions. We believe that the companies that we target for our activist activities are undervalued for many reasons, often including in ept management. Unfortunately for the individual investor, in particular, and the economy, in general, mediocre management teams are often unaccountable and very d iff icult to remove. There are too many costly roadblocks. (1) See page 17 for a more detailed discussion. 2
The Icahn Strategy (continued) Unlike the individual investor, we have the wherewithal to purchase companies that we feel we can run more efficiently than i ncu mbent management. In addition, through our Investment segment, we are in a position to pursue our activist strategy by purchasing stock or debt positions an d t rying to promulgate change through a variety of activist approaches, ranging from speaking and negotiating with the board and CEO to proxy fights to tender offers an d to taking control. We work diligently to enhance value for all shareholders and we believe that the best way to do this is to make underperforming management teams an d boards accountable or to replace them. The Chairman of the Board of our general partner, Carl C. Icahn, has been an activist investor since 1980. Mr. Icahn believe s t hat he has never seen a time for activism that is better than today. Many major companies have substantial amounts of cash. We believe that they are hoardin g c ash, rather than spending it, because they do not believe investments in their business will translate to earnings. We believe that one of the best ways for many cash - rich companies to achieve increased earnings is to use their large amounts of excess cash, together with advantageous borrowing opportunities, to purchase other companies in their industries and take advantage of the meaningful sy ner gies that could result. In our opinion, the CEOs and Boards of Directors of undervalued companies that would be acquisition targets are the major road block s t o this logical use of assets to increase value, because we believe those CEOs and Boards are not willing to give up their power and perquisites, even if they ha ve done a poor job in administering the companies they have been running. In addition, acquirers are often unwilling to undertake the arduous task of launching a h ostile campaign. This is precisely the situation in which a strong activist catalyst is necessary. We believe that the activist catalyst adds value because, for companies with strong balance sheets, acquisition of their weak er industry rivals is often extremely compelling financially. We further believe that there are many transactions that make economic sense, even at a large premiu m o ver market. Acquirers can use their excess cash, that is earning a very low return, and/or borrow at the advantageous interest rates now available, to acquire a tar get company. In either case, an acquirer can add the target company’s earnings and the income from synergies to the acquirer’s bottom line, at relatively low cost. B ut for these potential acquirers to act, the target company must be willing to at least entertain an offer. We believe that often the activist can step in and remove the ob stacles that a target may seek to use to prevent an acquisition. It is our belief that our strategy will continue to produce strong results in 2013 and into the future, and that belief is re fle cted in the action of the Board of Directors of our general partner, announced on February 11, 2013, to modify our distribution policy to increase our annual distribution to $4. 00 per unit. We believe that the strong cash flow and asset coverage from our operating subsidiaries will allow us to maintain a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity. In our view Icahn Enterprises is in a virtuous cycle. By raising our distribution to our limited partners, and with the resu lts we hope to achieve in 2013, we believe that our depositary units will give us another powerful activist tool, allowing us both to use our depositary units as currency fo r t ender offers and acquisitions (both hostile and friendly) where appropriate, and to increase our fire power by raising additional cash through depositary unit sales, inc lud ing this offering. All of these factors will, in our opinion, contribute to making our activism even more efficacious, which we expect to enhance our results and stock val ue and hopefully, the virtuous cycle will continue for many years. 3
