Overview
We are a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries currently engaged in the following continuing operating businesses:
Investment, Automotive, Energy, Railcar, Gaming, Metals, Mining, Food Packaging, Real Estate and Home Fashion.
Icahn Enterprises is a master limited partnership formed in Delaware on February 17, 1987. Icahn Enterprises owns a 99% limited
partner interest in Icahn Enterprises Holdings. Icahn Enterprises Holdings and its subsidiaries own substantially all of our assets and
liabilities and conduct substantially all of our operations. Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc., or Icahn Enterprises GP, our sole general
partner, owns a 1% general partner interest in both Icahn Enterprises Holdings and us, representing an aggregate 1.99% general
partner interest in Icahn Enterprises Holdings and us. Icahn Enterprises GP is owned and controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn. Mr. Icahn
and his affiliates owned approximately 90.1% of Icahn Enterprises' outstanding depositary units as of March 1, 2017.
Mr. Icahn's estate has been designed to assure the stability and continuation of Icahn Enterprises with no need to monetize his
interests for estate tax or other purposes. In the event of Mr. Icahn's death, control of Mr. Icahn's interests in Icahn Enterprises and its
general partner will be placed in charitable and other trusts under the control of senior Icahn executives and family members.
The following is a summary of our core holdings:
Investment. Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds, including Icahn Partners L.P. ("Icahn
Partners") and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP (the "Master Fund", and together with Icahn Partners, the "Investment Funds"),
through which we invest our proprietary capital. We and certain of Mr. Icahn's affiliates are the sole investors in the Investment
Funds. Icahn Onshore LP and Icahn Offshore LP (together, the "General Partners") act as the general partner of Icahn Partners and the
Master Fund, respectively. The General Partners provide investment advisory and certain administrative and back office services to
the Investment Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Investment Funds
are not offered to outside investors. From inception in November 2004 through December 31, 2016, the Investment Funds' return was
approximately 116.1%, representing an annualized rate of return of 6.5%.
Automotive. We conduct our Automotive segment through our 82.0% ownership, as of December 31, 2016, and 100%
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/813762/000114420417022684/v465216_424b3.htm[4/28/2017 2:35:46 PM]


ownership, as of January 23, 2017, in Federal-Mogul Corporation ("Federal-Mogul") and through our wholly owned subsidiaries,
The Pep Boys -- Manny, Moe and Jack ("Pep Boys"), which was acquired through a tender offer during the first quarter of 2016, and
IEH Auto Parts Holding LLC ("IEH Auto"), which acquired certain automotive assets of Uni-Select, Inc. through an acquisition that
was consummated during the second quarter of 2015.
Prior to its conversion to a Delaware limited liability company on February 14, 2017, Federal-Mogul, previously known as
Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation, was organized in Delaware as a corporation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Federal-Mogul became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours effective January 23, 2017, as discussed below. Prior to January 23, 2017,
Federal-Mogul was a majority owned subsidiary of ours with publicly traded common stock.
On September 6, 2016, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Federal-Mogul pursuant to which, and upon the
terms and subject to the conditions thereof, we commenced a cash tender offer (the "Federal-Mogul Tender Offer") to acquire all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Federal-Mogul's common stock not already owned by us for a purchase price of $9.25 per share,
net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable tax withholding. The Federal-Mogul Tender Offer was subsequently
extended to January 18, 2017 and the purchase price per share was subsequently increased to $10.00 per share. On January 23, 2017,
we paid for the shares validly tendered in the Federal-Mogul Tender Offer and effected a short form merger as the second and final
step of the acquisition.
On February 3, 2016, pursuant to a tender offer, we acquired a majority of the outstanding shares of Pep Boys and on February 4,
2016, we acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Pep Boys. The primary reasons for the acquisition of Pep Boys were to add
new product lines to our Automotive segment, to provide operating synergies, to strengthen distribution channels and to enhance our
Automotive segment's ability to better service its customers. The total value for the acquisition of Pep Boys was approximately $1.2
billion, including the fair value of our equity interest in Pep Boys just prior to our acquisition of a controlling interest.
On June 1, 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary, IEH Auto, acquired substantially all of the auto parts assets in the United States of
Uni-Select, Inc., a leading automotive parts distributor for domestic and imported vehicles.
Federal-Mogul is a leading global supplier of a broad range of components, accessories, and systems to the automotive, small
engine, heavy-duty, marine, railroad, agricultural, off-road, aerospace and energy, industrial, and transport markets, including
customers in both the original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") and servicers ("OES") (collectively, "OE") market and the
replacement market ("aftermarket"). Federal-Mogul's customers include the world's largest automotive OEs and major distributors
and retailers in the global aftermarket, including Pep Boys and IEH Auto.
Federal-Mogul operates with two end-customer focused businesses. The Powertrain business focuses on OE products for
automotive, heavy duty, and industrial applications. The Motorparts business sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the
global aftermarket, while also serving OEMs with products including braking, wipers and a limited range of components.
As of December 31, 2016, Pep Boys had 804 locations in the automotive aftermarket industry located throughout the United
States and Puerto Rico. Pep Boys stores are organized into a hub and spoke network consisting of Supercenters and Service & Tire
Centers. Supercenters average approximately 20,000 square feet and combine a parts and accessories store with professional service
centers that perform a full range of automotive maintenance and repair services. Most of the Pep Boys Supercenters also have a
commercial sales program that provides prompt delivery of parts, tires and equipment to automotive repair shops and dealers. Service
& Tire Centers, which average approximately 6,000 square feet, provide automotive maintenance and repair services in neighborhood
locations that are conveniently located where our customers live or work.
As of December 31, 2016, IEH Auto had 21 distribution centers and 288 corporate-owned stores in the United States and
supported a network of more than 2,000 independent wholesalers. Through its banner and technical support programs as well as its
offering of premium auto parts, IEH Auto has built its reputation on being the partner of choice for independent entrepreneurs eager to
tap into the strength of large network.
Federal-Mogul is operated independently from IEH Auto and Pep Boys. Pep Boys and IEH Auto are being operated together under
their parent company and wholly owned subsidiary of ours, IEP Auto Holdings LLC.
Energy. We conduct our Energy segment through our 82.0% ownership, as of December 31, 2016, in CVR Energy Inc. ("CVR").
In addition, as of December 31, 2016, we directly owned approximately 3.9% of the total outstanding common units of CVR
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/813762/000114420417022684/v465216_424b3.htm[4/28/2017 2:35:46 PM]


Refining, LP ("CVRR"). We acquired a controlling interest in CVR on May 4, 2012.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
CVR is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries
through its holdings in CVRR and CVR Partners, LP ("CVRP"), respectively. CVRR is an independent petroleum refiner and
marketer of high value transportation fuels. CVRP produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of urea ammonium nitrate
("UAN") and ammonia.
CVRR's mid-continent location provides access to significant quantities of crude oil from the continental United States and
Western Canada. CVRR's strategic location of its refineries, combined with supporting logistics assets, provides significant flexibility
to use the most profitable mix of crude oil. CVRR's refinery assets include two of only seven refineries in the underserved Group 3 of
the PADD II region, a 115,000 barrels per calendar day ("bpcd") complex full coking medium-sour crude refinery in Coffeyville,
Kansas and a 70,000 bpcd complex crude oil refinery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.
CVRP owns and operates two nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing facilities, located in Coffeyville, Kansas and East Dubuque,
Illinois. CVRP produces and distributes nitrogen fertilizer products, primarily UAN and ammonia, which are used by farmers to
improve the yield and quality of their crops.
On January 24, 2013, the board of directors of CVR adopted a quarterly cash dividend policy. CVR began paying regular
quarterly dividends in the second quarter of 2013. Dividends are subject to change at the discretion of CVR's board of directors and
may change from quarter to quarter. For the years ended December 31, 2016, we received an aggregate of $142 million in dividends
from CVR.
Metals. We conduct our Metals segment through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, PSC Metals, Inc. ("PSC Metals"). PSC
Metals is one of the largest independent metal recycling companies in the United States and collects industrial and obsolete scrap
metal, processes it into reusable forms and supplies the recycled metals to its customers including electric-arc furnace mills,
integrated steel mills, foundries, secondary smelters, and metals brokers. PSC Metals has approximately 40 locations concentrated in
three main geographic regions -- the Upper Midwest, the St. Louis region and the South. PSC Metals has actively consolidated its
regions and is seeking to build a leading position in each market.
As recycled steel is more environmentally friendly and energy efficient (and therefore cheaper to produce) than virgin steel, we
believe that PSC Metals will benefit from secular growth trends in recycled metals. In addition, PSC Metals is well positioned to
benefit from an improving economy and higher industrial production and steel mill operating rates in North America.
PSC Metals also processes non-ferrous metals including aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel and nickel-bearing metals. Non-
ferrous products are a significant raw material in the production of aluminum and copper alloys used in manufacturing. PSC Metals
also operates a secondary products business that includes the supply of secondary plate and structural grade pipe that is sold into niche
markets for counterweights, piling and foundations, construction materials and infrastructure end-markets.
Railcar. We conduct our Railcar segment primarily through our 62.2% ownership, as of December 31, 2016, in American
Railcar Industries Inc. ("ARI") and our wholly owned subsidiary, American Railcar Leasing, LLC ("ARL"). ARI is a prominent
North American manufacturer of hopper and tank railcars, two product groups that constitute over 66% of the approximately 1.6
million railcar North American fleet as of December 31, 2016, 73% of the industry railcar shipments for the year ended December 31,
2016 and 84% of the railcar industry manufacturing backlog as of December 31, 2016. These railcars are offered for sale or lease to
various types of companies including shippers, leasing companies, industrial companies, and Class I railroads. ARI also provides
railcar services consisting of railcar repair services, ranging from full to light repair, engineering and on-site repairs and maintenance
through its various repair facilities, including mini repair shops and mobile repair units. ARI also manufactures other industrial
products, primarily aluminum and special alloy steel castings.
ARL is engaged in the business of leasing railcars to customers with specific requirements whose products require specialized
railcars dedicated to transporting, storing, and preserving the integrity of their products. These products are primarily in the chemical,
mineral, petrochemical, food and agriculture, and energy industries. ARI's and ARL's railcar leasing business consists of railcars
manufactured primarily by ARI and leased to third parties under operating leases. ARI's leasing business was operated under lease

TABLE OF CONTENTS
management agreements with ARL through which ARL marketed ARI's railcars for sale or lease and acted as ARI's manager to lease
railcars on ARI's behalf for a fee.
The tank railcar market continues to soften at a faster pace than most other railcar markets as demand has shifted to more
specialized railcars for non-energy related service as a result of the oversaturation of that market in recent years. As the industry is
facing lower railcar loadings and increased rail speeds along with volatility in oil prices, more railcars are being placed into storage,
resulting in lower fleet utilization for much of the industry. As a result of these macro-economic factors, our railcar segment is also
seeing reduced inquiry activity for hopper railcars, indicating the softening of that market as well. The flexibility of our railcar
segment's workforce and the direction of its knowledgeable management team provide this segment with the ability to effectively
adjust production rates in an effort to align them with industry trends. Even at lower production levels, our railcar segment continues
to efficiently produce high quality hopper and tank railcars. We cannot assure you that hopper or tank railcar demand will maintain
its current pace, that demand for any railcar types or railcar services will improve, or that our railcar segment's backlog, orders or
shipments will track industry-wide trends.
As of December 31, 2016, our Railcar segment had an aggregate railcar lease fleet of 45,761.
On December 19, 2016, Icahn Enterprises entered into a definitive agreement to sell ARL to SMBC Rail Services LLC ("SMBC
Rail"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, for cash based on (i) a value approximately $2.8 billion
(subject to certain adjustments) and (ii) a fleet of approximately 29,000 railcars. The initial closing is expected to occur in the second
quarter of 2017. For a period of three years thereafter, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, the sellers will have an option to sell,
and SMBC Rail will have an option to buy, approximately 4,800 additional railcars. (These approximately 4,800 railcars will be
segregated and owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of ours.) If the conditions to the option are satisfied, the purchase price for the
approximately 4,800 additional railcars would be approximately $586 million at the time of the initial closing, which would bring the
total sale price to approximately $3.4 billion (subject to certain adjustments). The sale is subject to customary closing conditions.
Neither the sale nor the option are subject to any financing condition.
Gaming. We conduct our Gaming segment through our 72.5% ownership, as of December 31, 2016, in Tropicana Entertainment
Inc. ("Tropicana"), and effective February 26, 2016, our wholly owned subsidiary, Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. ("TER"), which
owns the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (the "Trump Taj Mahal"). The Trump Taj Mahal closed and ceased its casino and hotel
operations on October 10, 2016.
As of December 31, 2016, Tropicana owned and operated a diversified, multi-jurisdictional collection of casino gaming
properties. In 2014, Tropicana acquired an additional casino resort in Missouri, bringing its total number of casinos to eight. The
eight casino facilities feature approximately 392,000 square feet of gaming space with 7,900 slot machines, 300 table games and
5,500 hotel rooms with two casino facilities located in Nevada and one in each of Mississippi, Missouri, Indiana, Louisiana, New
Jersey and Aruba. In addition, Tropicana operates a 24-hour Internet gaming site that provides slot game options and classic casino
table games. All participants must be 21 or older and physically located in New Jersey to play. We acquired our ownership in
Tropicana through distressed debt and subsequent equity purchases. In 2010, Tropicana emerged from bankruptcy following which
we replaced management and improved performance. Through a highly analytical approach to operations, Tropicana management has
identified programs that are designed to enhance marketing, improve hotel utilization, optimize product mix and reduce expenses.
Tropicana has also reinvested in its properties by upgrading hotel rooms, refreshing casino floor products tailored for each regional
market and pursuing strong brands for restaurant and retail opportunities. Tropicana intends to pursue acquisition opportunities where
it can expand into attractive regional markets and leverage the Tropicana brand name and customer base.
On September 9, 2014, TER and its subsidiaries filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware. On February 26, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), TER emerged from bankruptcy. Icahn
Enterprises was the sole holder of TER's senior secured debt. On the Effective Date, among other things, the existing pre-petition
senior secured debt held by Icahn Enterprises was extinguished and converted into 100.0% of TER's New Common Stock (as defined
in the bankruptcy plan). As a result, we became the 100.0% owner of TER after reorganization and accordingly,

obtained control and began consolidating the results of TER on February 26, 2016. As discussed above, TER owns and operates
Trump Taj Mahal, which is located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Trump Taj Mahal closed and ceased its casino and hotel operations
on October 10, 2016. In addition, TER also owns an idled casino property in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Trump Plaza Hotel and
Casino, which ceased operations in September 2014.
On March 1, 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell the former Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey
for $50 million.
Mining. We conduct our Mining segment through our 77.2% ownership, as of December 31, 2016, in Ferrous Resources Limited
("Ferrous Resources"). We acquired a controlling interest in Ferrous Resources during the second quarter of 2015.
Ferrous Resources develops mining operations and related infrastructure to produce and sell iron ore products to the global steel
industry. Ferrous Resources acquired significant iron ore assets in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, known as Viga, Viga Norte,
Esperança, Serrinha and Santanense. In addition, Ferrous Resources acquired certain mineral rights near Jacuípe in the State of Bahia,
Brazil. Of the assets acquired, Viga, Esperança and Santanense are already extracting and producing iron ore, while the other assets
are at an early stage of exploration.
In response to the depressed iron ore price environment, Ferrous Resources decided to temporarily suspend Esperança's and
Santanense's operations in the first quarter of 2015 in order to study alternatives to further reduce cost of production and improve
product quality and therefore to improve profitability and margin per metric ton.
Food Packaging. We conduct our Food Packaging segment through our 74.6% ownership, as of December 31, 2016, in Viskase
Companies, Inc. ("Viskase"). Viskase is a worldwide leader in the production and sale of cellulosic, fibrous and plastic casings for the
processed meat and poultry industry. As of December 31, 2016, Viskase operated ten manufacturing facilities, six distribution centers
and three service centers throughout North America, Europe, South America and Asia and derives approximately 70% of its total net
sales from customers located outside the United States for the year ended December 31, 2016. Viskase believes it is one of the two
largest manufacturers of non-edible cellulosic casings for processed meats and one of the three largest manufacturers of non-edible
fibrous casings.
While developed markets remain a steady source of demand for Viskase's products, we believe that future growth will be driven
significantly by the growing middle class in emerging markets. As per capita income increases in these emerging economies, we
expect protein consumption to increase. We believe that this will create significant demand for meat-related products, such as
sausages, hot dogs and luncheon meats, which are some of the most affordable sources of protein and represent the primary sources of
demand for Viskase casings. Viskase is aggressively pursuing this emerging market opportunity. Since 2007, sales to emerging
economies have grown on average 7.3% per year, and for the year ended December 31, 2016 accounted for over 50% of Viskase's
total sales. In 2012, Viskase completed a new finishing center in the Philippines and expanded its capacity in Brazil. Artificial casings
are technically difficult to make and the challenges of producing quality casings that meet stringent food related regulatory
requirements are significant. In addition, there are significant barriers to entry in building the manufacturing facilities and obtaining
the regulatory permits necessary to meaningfully participate in the industry.
Real Estate. Our Real Estate segment consists of rental real estate, property development and club operations. As of December
31, 2016, we owned 15 commercial rental real estate properties. Our property development operations are run primarily through
Bayswater Development LLC, a real estate investment, management and development subsidiary that focuses primarily on the
construction and sale of single-family and multi-family homes, lots in subdivisions and planned communities and raw land for
residential development. Our New Seabury development property in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and our Grand Harbor development
property in Vero Beach, Florida include land for future residential development of approximately 272 and 1,128 units of residential
housing, respectively. Both developments operate golf and club operations as well. During 2015, we sold the Oak Harbor
development and operations, which historically operated as part

of Grand Harbor. In addition, our Real Estate segment owns an unfinished development property that is located on approximately 23
acres in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Home Fashion. We conduct our Home Fashion segment through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, WestPoint Home LLC
("WPH"), a manufacturer and distributor of home fashion consumer products. WPH is engaged in the business of designing,
marketing, manufacturing, sourcing, distributing and selling home fashion consumer products. WPH markets a broad range of
manufactured and sourced bed and bath products, including sheets, pillowcases, bedspreads, quilts, comforters and duvet covers, bath
and beach towels, bath accessories, bed skirts, bed pillows, flocked blankets, woven blankets and throws, and mattress pads. WPH
recognizes revenue primarily through the sale of home fashion products to a variety of retail and institutional customers. In addition,
WPH receives a small portion of its revenues through the licensing of its trademarks.
