Our third amended and restated agreement of limited partnership expressly permits us to enter into transactions with our general partner or any of its affiliates, including buying or selling properties from or to our general partner and any of its affiliates and borrowing and lending money from or to our general partner and any of its affiliates, subject to limitations contained in our partnership agreement and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The indentures governing our indebtedness contain certain covenants applicable to transactions with affiliates.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total fair market value of investments in the Investment Funds made by Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding us and Brett Icahn) was approximately $665 million and $908 million, respectively, representing approximately 23% and 25% of the Investment Funds’ assets under management as of each respective date. Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding us and Brett Icahn) redeemed $175 million from his personal interests in the Investment Funds and the Holding Company redeemed $240 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Holding Company redeemed $40 million in securities from the Investment Funds.

We pay for expenses pertaining to the operation, administration and investment activities of our Investment segment for the benefit of the Investment Funds (including salaries, benefits and rent). Based on an expense-sharing arrangement, certain expenses borne by us are reimbursed by the Investment Funds. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $4 million and $3 million, respectively, was allocated to the Investment Funds based on this expense-sharing arrangement.

TEB

In August 2025, the Company sold certain properties to TEB. TEB was formed by a third-party developer to acquire, redevelop and operate the properties sold by the Company. In connection with the sale of the properties, the Company provided certain seller financing and received cash, a preferred equity interest and a profits interest in TEB. The Company did not provide any cash capital to TEB and the Company is not obligated to invest any capital contributions to support TEB or its operations in the future. The day-to-day operations of TEB’s business is the sole responsibility of the other member who serves as manager of TEB and the Company does not control those day-to-day operations. The Company has certain protective rights in connection with its preferred equity interest. The Company does not consolidate TEB and accounts for its preferred equity investment under the equity method. Entities that are recognized under the equity method of accounting are deemed to be related parties.

In connection with the sale in August 2025, the Company entered into a loan agreement with TEB. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding balance of the loan was $132 million, representing the seller-financed debt portion of the transaction. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized interest income of $4 million related to this loan and the interest income is included in interest and dividend income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
