Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, each of which is incorporated by reference herein, respectively, before deciding to invest in
the exchange notes. Except where the context otherwise requires or indicates, in this prospectus, (i) "Icahn Enterprises," "the
Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its subsidiaries and, with respect to acquired businesses,
Mr. Icahn and his affiliates prior to our acquisition (ii) "Holding Company" refers to the unconsolidated results and financial

December 31 of the applicable year.
Overview
We are a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in the following operating businesses: Investment,
Automotive, Energy, Gaming, Railcar, Food Packaging, Metals, Real Estate and Home Fashion.
Icahn Enterprises is a master limited partnership formed in Delaware on February 17, 1987. We own a 99% limited partner
interest in Icahn Enterprises Holdings. Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are owned through Icahn Enterprises Holdings
and substantially all of our operations are conducted through Icahn Enterprises Holdings and its subsidiaries. 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. As of June 30, 2013, affiliates of Mr. Icahn owned 99,213,824 of our depositary units that
represented approximately 89.3% of our outstanding depositary units.
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 LP, Icahn Partners
Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP (the "Funds"), through which we invest our
proprietary capital. We and certain of Mr. Icahn's wholly owned affiliates are the sole investors in the Funds. Prior to March 31,
2011, interests in the Funds were offered to certain sophisticated and qualified investors on the basis of exemptions from the
registration requirements of the federal securities laws and were not publicly available. The Funds returned all fee-paying capital to
third-party investors during fiscal year 2011. This segment derives revenues from gains and losses from our investments in the Funds.
Automotive. We conduct our Automotive segment through our 80.7% ownership, as of July 11, 2013, in Federal-Mogul
Corporation ("Federal-Mogul"), a leading global supplier to the automotive, aerospace, energy, heavy duty truck, industrial, marine,
power generation and railway industries. In 2012, Federal-Mogul reorganized its businesses around its Powertrain and Vehicle
Components Solutions businesses to take advantage of unique growth opportunities and customer requirements in each sector
(primarily aftermarket). Federal-Mogul's high precision products are designed and engineered to help its customers satisfy and
exceed environmental and safety standards without sacrificing performance. Federal-Mogul's Powertrain business has leading market
share positions in pistons, piston rings, valve seats, value guides, bearings, ignition, sealing and systems protection components. It
focuses on high-technology, high-precision products that improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance durability. Demand for
smaller, high-performance engines has increased dramatically over the past few years as developed economies implement higher fuel
economy and

TABLE OF CONTENTS
emission standards and automotive demand increases due to substantial growth in the size of the emerging markets middle class.
While global light vehicle production is expected to increase at a 6% compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, through 2018,
cylinder count per engine is expected to continue to decrease, as engine manufacturers implement new technologies to obtain more
power from smaller highly-loaded engines. These compact, more powerful engines require more advanced components to handle
higher thermal and mechanical stresses, which increases overall content per vehicle. Approximately 30% of Powertrain revenue in
fiscal year 2012 was derived from commercial vehicle and other non light vehicle customers. Each of these industrial markets is
highly specialized and requires significant research, development and engineering to create products capable of performing in the
harshest environments. These end markets are also subject to tightening environmental regulation that introduces increased complexity
and performance requirements but creates opportunity for growth.
Federal-Mogul's Vehicle Components Solutions business is a global leader in aftermarket components such as engine, sealing,
chassis, wiper and ignition components, and is a leading premium brake pad and component manufacturer in North America and
Europe. Federal-Mogul has some of the most widely recognized aftermarket brands, including Fel-Pro, Moog, Ferodo, ThermoQuiet,
Wagner, ANCO and Champion. Aftermarket demand is a function of the size of the global car parc, which is estimated to grow at a
4% CAGR, through 2020 on the strength of emerging market vehicle sales. A further driver is the age of the car parc, which has been
steadily increasing in all markets. We believe Federal-Mogul has an excellent opportunity to leverage its brands and products
throughout the emerging markets, as well as to participate in consolidation opportunities in North America and Europe. In addition,
the North American automotive aftermarket distribution system is highly profitable, yet inefficient due to multi-tier channels and
inventory management complexity. As a large manufacturer with a broad product portfolio, Federal-Mogul has an opportunity to
streamline its own distribution and expand into new distribution channels, such as the Internet, to capture more of the value chain.
Energy. We conduct our Energy segment through our 82.0% ownership in CVR, as of June 30, 2013, in which we acquired a
controlling interest on May 4, 2012. CVR is a holding company that owns majority interests in two separate operating subsidiaries,
CVR Refining, LP ("CVRR") and CVR Partners, LP ("CVRP"). CVRR is an independent petroleum refiner and marketer of
high-value transportation fuels in the mid-continent of the United States. CVRP is a leading nitrogen fertilizer producer in the heart of
the Corn Belt.
CVRR's mid-continent location provides access to significant quantities of crude oil from the continental United States and
Western Canada. We believe expected crude oil production growth in North America, coupled with declining North Sea volumes,
transportation bottlenecks and other geopolitical considerations will likely support favorable crack spreads for mid-continent
refineries for the foreseeable future. CVRR's refinery assets include two of only seven refineries in the underserved PADD II Group
3 region, a 115,000 barrels per day ("bpd") complex full coking medium-sour crude refinery in Coffeyville, Kansas and a 70,000 bpd
medium complexity refinery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma capable of processing 20,000 bpd of light sour crude. CVRR also controls
and operates supporting logistics assets including approximately 350 miles of owned pipelines, over 125 owned crude transports, a
network of strategically located crude oil gathering tank farms providing roughly 50,000 bpd to the refineries and over 6.0 million
barrels of owned or leased crude oil storage capacity. In addition, CVRR has 35,000 bpd of contracted capacity on the Keystone and
Spearhead pipelines to supply its refineries with Canadian and Bakken crudes.
CVRP produces and distributes nitrogen fertilizer products, such as ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate ("UAN"), used by
farmers to improve the yield and quality of their crops. Located in the heart of the Corn Belt with direct access to its primary input,
pet coke, from the adjacent Coffeyville refinery, CVRP is close to customers and enjoys a meaningful freight advantage compared to
many of its competitors and imports. CVRP's utilization of pet coke instead of natural gas provides CVRP with a relatively fixed cost
structure and makes it less sensitive to swings in energy prices. Fertilizer consumption continues to grow annually as global
population growth, changing food consumption patterns in emerging markets and decreasing per capita farmland drive world grain
demand higher and necessitate more efficient land use. The United States currently accounts for 25% of world coarse grain
production, and as the third largest consumer of nitrogen fertilizer,

TABLE OF CONTENTS
imports approximately 43% of its requirements. As a result of these trends and the recent completion of its UAN expansion project,
we believe CVRP is well positioned to continue to benefit from the secular growth in the fertilizer market.
On January 24, 2013, the board of directors of CVR adopted a quarterly cash dividend policy of $0.75 per share, or $3.00 per
share on an annualized basis. CVR paid its first regular quarterly dividend in the second quarter of 2013. In addition, CVR paid a
$5.50 per share special dividend on February 19, 2013 and a $6.50 per share special dividend on June 10, 2013.
Gaming. We conduct our Gaming segment through our 67.9% ownership, as of June 30, 2013, in Tropicana Entertainment Inc.
("Tropicana"). Tropicana currently owns and operates a diversified, multi jurisdictional collection of casino gaming properties. The
eight casino facilities it operates feature approximately 370,000 square feet of gaming space with 7,000 slot machines, 210 table
games and 6,000 hotel rooms with three casino facilities located in Nevada and one in each of Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana, New
Jersey and Aruba. 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. In addition, we are monitoring the prospects of Internet gaming and intend
to pursue the opportunity if and when it is legalized.
Railcar. We conduct our Railcar segment primarily through our 55.6% ownership, as of June 30, 2013, in American Railcar
Industries Inc. ("ARI") and our wholly owned subsidiary, AEP Leasing LLC ("AEP Leasing"), and effective October 2, 2013, the
ARL Joint Venture (see Recent Developments). ARI is a leading North American manufacturer of hopper and tank railcars, two
product groups that constitute over 50% of the approximately 1.5 million railcar North American fleet, 74% of second quarter 2013
railcar deliveries and 92% of the railcar industry manufacturing backlog as of June 30, 2013. These railcars are offered for sale or
lease to leasing companies, industrial companies, shippers and railroads. ARI currently benefits from the rapidly increasing energy
production in North America. Increased crude oil production from North American shale regions and Canada have resulted in
significant demand for tank railcars as the existing pipeline capacity is not able to satisfy the transportation demands for crude oil.
ARI's backlog for tank railcars extends into 2014 and industry new tank railcar order backlogs extend into 2016. ARI has a railcar
fleet for lease of approximately 3,500 railcars as of June 30, 2013, and we also operate a separate lease fleet through AEP Leasing,
with a railcar fleet for lease of approximately 1,140 railcars as of June 30, 2013. In addition, as further discussed in recent
developments, effective October 2, 2013, the ARL Joint Venture will have a railcar fleet for lease of approximately 27,330 railcars.
ARI also provides services for railcar fleets including critical railcar repair, maintenance, engineering and fleet management
services. ARI also manufactures other industrial products, primarily aluminum and special alloy steel castings.
ARI's fleet management services include maintenance, engineering and field services for railcars owned by certain customers.
Such services include maintenance planning, project management, tracking and tracing, regulatory compliance, mileage audit, rolling
stock taxes and online service access.
Food Packaging. We conduct our Food Packaging segment through our 70.8% ownership, as of June 30, 2013, 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. Viskase currently operates eight manufacturing facilities and ten distribution centers
throughout North America, Europe, South America and Asia and derives approximately 71% of its total net sales from customers
located outside the United States. 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
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 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 13% per year, and in 2012 accounted for almost 50% of total company sales compared to 36% in 2007. 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. Viskase had invested approximately $120 million of capital from 2009 through 2012 to
meet the increasing emerging market demand. A significant portion of that investment was made in 2011 and 2012 and therefore the
financial returns on investment will not be evident until 2013.
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 nearly 50 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 the improving economy and higher industrial production and steel mill operating rates in North America. In our Upper
Midwest market, steel mills will have invested an estimated $1.9 billion between 2011 and 2014 to meet growing steel demand
driven primarily by automotive and increased oil and gas drilling industries. We believe these investments will increase the regional
demand for ferrous scrap. Finally, as the United States is the leading exporter of scrap metal in the world, the U.S. scrap industry is
expected to benefit from growing global steel demand.
