interests in Icahn Enterprises and its general partner will be placed in charitable and other trusts under the control of
senior Icahn Enterprises executives and family members.
The following is a summary of our core holdings:
Investment. Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds ("Investment Funds")
in which we have general partner interests and through which we invest our proprietary capital. We and certain of
Mr. Icahn's wholly owned affiliates are the sole investors in the Investment Funds. As general partner, we 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.

Energy"). CVR Energy is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen
fertilizer manufacturing industries through its holdings in CVR Refining L.P. ("CVR Refining") and CVR Partners
L.P. ("CVR Partners"), respectively. As of September 30, 2017, CVR Energy owned 100% of each of the general

Refining's mid-continent location provides access to significant quantities of crude oil from the continental United
States and Western Canada. CVR Refining's strategic location of its refineries, combined with supporting logistics
assets, provides significant flexibility to use the most profitable mix of crude oil. CVR Partners produces and
markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of urea ammonium nitrate and ammonia which are used by farmers to
improve the yield and quality of their crops.
Railcar. We conduct our Railcar segment through our majority ownership in American Railcar Industries,
Inc. ("ARI") and, prior to June 1, 2017, our wholly owned subsidiary American Railcar Leasing, LLC ("ARL"). As
of September 30, 2017, we owned approximately 62.2% of the total outstanding common stock of ARI. As
discussed below, we sold ARL, along with a majority of its railcar lease fleet, on June 1, 2017. As of September 30,
2017, through a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, we continued to own 4,551 remaining railcars previously owned
by ARL. As discussed below, a majority of these remaining railcars were sold in October 2017.
ARI is a North American designer and manufacturer of hopper and tank railcars. ARI provides its railcar
customers with integrated solutions through a comprehensive set of high-quality products and related services
through its manufacturing, leasing and railcar services operations. ARI's manufacturing consists of railcar
manufacturing and railcar and industrial component manufacturing. ARI's railcar leasing business consists of
railcars built by ARI leased to third parties under operating leases. ARI's railcar services consist of railcar repair,

Services, LLC ("SMBC Rail"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, for cash
based on (i) a value of approximately $2.8 billion (subject to certain adjustments) and (ii) a fleet of approximately
29,000 railcars (the "ARL Initial Sale"). The ARL Initial Sale closed on June 1, 2017. After repaying, or assigning
to SMBC Rail, applicable indebtedness of ARL, we received cash consideration of approximately $1.3 billion in
connection with the ARL Initial Sale, resulting in a pretax gain on disposition of assets for our Railcar segment of
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/813762/000114420418001743/tv482952-424b3.htm[1/11/2018 11:52:05 AM]


tv482952-424b3 - none - 3.937248s
approximately $1.5 billion. For a period of three years after the closing of the ARL Initial Sale, and upon
satisfaction of certain conditions, we have an option to sell, and SMBC Rail has an option to buy, the 4,551
remaining railcars owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. In October 2017, we sold an additional 4,382
railcars to SMBC Rail for $522 million, resulting in a $154 million pretax gain on disposition of assets.
Gaming. We conduct our Gaming segment through our majority ownership in Tropicana Entertainment Inc.
("Tropicana") and our wholly owned subsidiary, Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. ("TER"), which we acquired
out of bankruptcy in 2016. During August 2017, we increased our ownership in Tropicana from 72.5% to 83.9%
through a tender offer for additional shares of Tropicana common stock not already owned by us for an aggregate
purchase price of? $95 million. In addition, Tropicana repurchased and retired shares of its common stock in
connection with this tender offer for an aggregate purchase price of? $36 million.
Tropicana is an owner and operator of regional casino and entertainment properties located in the United
States and one hotel, timeshare and casino resort located on the island of Aruba. TER owned the Trump Taj Mahal
Casino Resort, which closed and ceased its casino and hotel operations in October 2016,
2
TABLE OF CONTENTS
and was subsequently sold on March 31, 2017. TER also owns Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, which ceased
operations in September 2014, prior to our obtaining a controlling interest in TER.
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.
Metals. We conduct our Metals segment through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, PSC Metals, Inc.
("PSC Metals"). PSC Metals is principally engaged in the business of collecting, processing and selling ferrous and
non-ferrous metals, as well as the processing and distribution of steel pipe and plate products. PSC Metals collects
industrial and obsolete scrap metal, processes it into reusable forms and supplies the recycled metals to its
customers. 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.
Mining. We conduct our Mining segment through our majority ownership in Ferrous Resources Ltd.
("Ferrous Resources"). As of September 30, 2017, we owned approximately 77.2% of the total outstanding
common stock of Ferrous Resources. Ferrous Resources acquired certain rights to iron ore mineral resources in
Brazil and develops mining operations and related infrastructure to produce and sell iron ore products to the global
steel industry.
Food Packaging. We conduct our Food Packaging segment through our majority ownership in Viskase
Companies, Inc. ("Viskase"). As of September 30, 2017, we owned approximately 74.6% of the total outstanding
common stock of Viskase. Viskase is a producer of cellulosic, fibrous and plastic casings used to prepare and
package processed meat products.
Real Estate. Our Real Estate operations consist of rental real estate, property development and associated
club activities. Our rental real estate operations consist primarily of office and industrial properties, including two
large buildings with leases to a single tenant (over $200 billion market capitalization) through 2020?­?2021. Our
property development operations are run primarily through 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 property development
locations also operate golf and club operations as well.

mortgage and a $30 million second-lien mortgage).

TABLE OF CONTENTS
If our belief is inaccurate and you transfer any new note issued to
you in the exchange offers without delivering a prospectus meeting
the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption
from registration of your exchange notes from such requirements,
you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not
assume, or indemnify you against, any such liability. The SEC has
not considered these exchange offers in the context of a no action
letter, and we cannot be sure that the SEC would make the same
determination with respect to these exchange offers as it has in
other circumstances.
Each broker-dealer that is issued exchange notes for its own
account in exchange for existing notes that were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market making or other trading
activities also must acknowledge that it has not entered into any
arrangement or understanding with us or any of our affiliates to
distribute the exchange notes and will deliver a prospectus meeting
the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resale of the exchange notes issued in the exchange offers.
We have agreed in the registration rights agreements that a broker-
dealer may use this prospectus for an offer to resell, resale or other
retransfer of the exchange notes issued to it in the exchange offers.
Expiration Date
The exchange offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on February 8, 2018, unless extended, in which case the term

"expiration date" shall mean the latest date and time to which we
extend the exchange offers.
Conditions to the Exchange Offers
The exchange offers are subject to certain customary conditions,
which may be waived by us. The exchange offers are not
conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of existing notes
being tendered.
Procedures for Tendering Existing Notes
If you wish to tender outstanding notes, you must (a)(1) complete,
sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of it, according
to its instructions and (2) send the letter of transmittal, together
with your existing notes to be exchanged and other required
documentation, to the Exchange Agent (as defined below) at the
address provided in the letter of transmittal; or (b) tender through
DTC pursuant to DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program, or
ATOP system. The letter of transmittal or a valid agent's message
through ATOP must be received by the Exchange Agent by
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. See "The
Exchange Offers?--?Procedures for Tendering," and "-- Book-
Entry Tender." By executing the letter of transmittal, you are
representing to us that you are acquiring the exchange notes in the
ordinary course of your business, that you are not participating, do
not intend to participate and have no arrangement or understanding
with any person to participate in the distribution of exchange
notes, and that you are not an "affiliate" of ours. See "The

Tendering," and "-- Book-Entry Tender." Do not send letters of
transmittal and certificates representing outstanding notes to us.
Send these documents only to the Exchange Agent. See "The
Exchange Offers?--?Procedures for Tendering" for more
information.
Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners
If you are the beneficial owner of book-entry interests and your
name does not appear on a security position listing of DTC as the
holder of the book-entry interests or if you are a beneficial owner
whose outstanding notes are registered in the name of a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and you
wish to tender your existing notes in the exchange offers, you
should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the
registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you are a beneficial
owner and wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, before
completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering
your existing notes, either make appropriate arrangements to
register ownership of the outstanding notes in your name or obtain
a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. See
"The Exchange Offers?--?Procedure if the Outstanding Notes Are
Not Registered in Your Name," and "-- Beneficial Owner
