consider, among other things, the matters set forth in "Risk Factors" in this prospectus and the risk factors set forth in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is incorporated by reference herein, 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 position of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings and (iii) "fiscal year" refers to the
twelve-month period ended December 31 of the applicable year.
Overview
We are a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries currently engaged in the following continuing operating businesses:
Investment, Automotive, Energy, Metals, Railcar, Gaming, 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 101,872,909, or approximately 87.9%, of Icahn Enterprises' outstanding depositary units as of
December 31, 2013.
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. Effective January 1, 2014, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund
III LP were merged with and into Icahn Partners. We and certain of Mr. Icahn's wholly owned 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. Since inception in November 2004, the Investment Funds' gross return is
256.8%, representing an annualized rate of return of 14.9% through December 31, 2013.
Automotive. We conduct our Automotive segment through our 80.7% ownership, as of December 31, 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.
Powertrain serves original equipment light vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial engine manufacturers and VCS primarily

TABLE OF CONTENTS
supplies branded repair components to the automotive 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 emission standards. Simultaneously, new vehicle
production has continued to increase due to substantial growth in the size of the emerging markets middle class. Global light vehicle
production is expected to increase at a 5% compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, through 2018; however, 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 2013 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 leading brands and a broad product portfolio, Federal-Mogul has an
opportunity to streamline its manufacturing and distribution operations in mature markets and expand into emerging regional markets
where growth in new vehicle production is resulting in total car parc expansion and the development of an attractively-sized
automotive aftermarket.
On July 11, 2013, Federal-Mogul received $500 million in connection with its previously announced common stock registered
rights offering (the "Federal-Mogul Rights Offering"). In connection with the Federal-Mogul Rights Offering, we fully exercised our
subscription rights under our basic and over subscription privileges to purchase additional shares of Federal-Mogul common stock,
thereby increasing our ownership of Federal-Mogul, for an aggregate additional investment of $434 million.
Energy. We conduct our Energy segment through our 82.0% ownership, as of December 31, 2013, in CVR Energy Inc. ("CVR").
In addition, as of December 31, 2013, as a result of purchasing common units of CVR Refining, LP ("CVRR") during 2013, we
directly owned approximately 4.0% of the total outstanding common units of CVRR. We acquired a controlling interest in CVR on
May 4, 2012.
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 nitrogen fertilizers in the form of ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate. As of
December 31, 2013, following various equity offerings during 2013, CVR owned the general partner and approximately 71% of the
common units of CVRR (including 100% of CVR Refining GP, LLC, its general partner) and approximately 53% of the common units
of CVRP (including 100% of CVR GP, LLC, its general partner).
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,

TABLE OF CONTENTS
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, imports a significant portion 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 declared
and paid two special cash dividends during 2013, bringing total cumulative dividends paid to us in 2013 to $14.25 per share, of
which $1,014 million was paid to us.
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 over 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 the improving economy and higher industrial production and steel mill operating rates in North America. The latest
estimate of NAFTA steel demand growth for 2014 is at 3.2%. In our Upper Midwest market, steel mills will have invested an
estimated $1.8 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.
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 55.6% ownership, as of December 31, 2013, in American
Railcar Industries Inc. ("ARI") and our wholly owned subsidiary, AEP Leasing LLC ("AEP Leasing"). 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, 76% of railcar

deliveries for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 92% of the railcar industry manufacturing backlog as of December 31, 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 through 2014 and industry new tank
railcar order backlogs extend into 2015. As of December 31, 2013, ARI has a railcar fleet for lease of approximately 4,450 railcars,
and we also operate a separate lease fleet through AEP Leasing with a railcar fleet for lease of 2,975 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.
On September 20, 2013, American Entertainment Properties Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours and the parent
company of AEP Rail Corp ("AEP"), entered into a transaction with American Railcar Leasing, LLC ("ARL"), a company wholly
owned and controlled by Carl C. Icahn. ARL is a wholly owned subsidiary of IRL Holding LLC ("IRL") and owns a railcar lease
fleet of approximately 27,000 railcars. Prior to the closing of the transaction, which took place on October 2, 2013, AEP bought out
the remainder of a management contract between AEP Leasing LLC ("AEP Leasing") and ARL for $21 million, and ARL distributed
$71 million in cash and $171 million in notes receivable (including interest accrued) to its parent company, IRL. Pursuant to a
contribution agreement dated September 20, 2013 by and among AEP, IRL, ARL and IEP Energy Holding LLC (the "ARL
Contribution Agreement"), at the closing of the transaction, AEP contributed $279 million in cash to ARL, and, on January 1, 2014,
contributed the fair market value of its 100% ownership interest in AEP Leasing to ARL, for aggregate consideration consisting of a
75% membership interest in ARL ("New ARL"), which then incurred additional debt of $381 million. Pursuant to the ARL
Contribution Agreement, New ARL distributed $381 million in cash to IRL on February 24, 2014.
New ARL is an entity under common control with us. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements and the related notes
thereto include the assets and operations of New ARL for all periods presented. In addition, all earnings and capital transactions
prior to our investment in New ARL are allocated to non-controlling interests.
Gaming. We conduct our Gaming segment through our 67.9% ownership, as of December 31, 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 371,600 square feet of gaming space with 6,941 slot machines, 217 table
games and 6,032 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.
As previously disclosed, on August 16, 2013, Tropicana St. Louis LLC (the "Buyer"), a Delaware limited liability company and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Tropicana, entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with
Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. ("Pinnacle"), Casino Magic, LLC ("Casino Magic" and together with Pinnacle, the "Sellers"), Casino
One Corporation (the "Target"), PNK (ES), LLC ("ES"), PNK (ST. LOUIS RE), LLC ("RE") and PNK (STLH), LLC ("STLH").
Casino Magic is the beneficial and record owner of all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Target (the

"Target Stock"). Pinnacle is the beneficial and record owner of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of ES, RE and
STLH (and together with the Target Stock, the "Equity Interests"). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth therein, the Buyer has agreed to purchase all of the Equity Interests in exchange for $260 million in cash,
subject to adjustment (the "Tropicana Transactions"). If the Tropicana Transactions are consummated, the Buyer would acquire the
Lumiére Place Casino, Hotel Lumiére, the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis and related excess land parcels in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Buyer and the Sellers, including an
agreement by each of the parties to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Tropicana Transactions. Completion of the
Tropicana Transactions is subject to various conditions, including, among others, regulatory approvals from the Missouri Gaming
Commission and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"). FTC approval was received in January 2014. The transaction is
expected to close in early 2014, although Tropicana can make no assurances that the conditions will be satisfied or that the sale will
be consummated in a timely manner, if at all.
Food Packaging. We conduct our Food Packaging segment through our 73.5% ownership, as of December 31, 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 nine manufacturing facilities and ten distribution 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. 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 12.5% per
year, and in 2013 accounted for approximately 70% of total company sales through December 31, 2013 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,
which has benefitted the financial results in 2013.
Real Estate. Our Real Estate segment consists of rental real estate, property development and resort activities. As of December
31, 2013, we owned 29 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 and Oak
Harbor development property in Vero Beach, Florida include land for future residential development of approximately 271 and 1,325
units of residential housing, respectively. Both developments operate golf and resort operations as well. In addition, our Real Estate
segment owns an unfinished development property which 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
