Holding Company

Holding Company debt is net of unamortized discounts, premiums, debt issuance costs and notes held in treasury.

In February 2026, we redeemed all outstanding 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2026, at par, using cash on hand.

Energy

In February 2026, CVR Energy completed the issuance of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, consisting of $600 million of 7.50% senior notes due February 2031 and $400 million of 7.875% senior notes due February 2034. The proceeds from the issuance of these notes were used to (i) fund the redemption in full of CVR

Energy’s existing $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.50% senior unsecured notes due 2029 at a redemption price equal to 104.25% of the principal amount in February 2026, resulting in a $28 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2026, (ii) funded the partial redemption of $217 million of CVR Energy’s existing $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due 2028 at par in February 2026, resulting in a less than $1 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and (iii) repaid the aggregate principal balance of CVR Energy’s senior secured term loan facility, resulting in a $3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2026.

In February 2026, CVR Energy and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “CVR Energy ABL Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement (the “CVR Energy ABL”) with a group of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as administrative agent, collateral agent and a lender. The CVR Energy ABL Amendment amended the CVR Energy ABL, dated December 20, 2012, to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount available under the CVR Energy ABL from $345 million to $550 million, which commitments may be further increased up to $700 million in accordance with the CVR Energy ABL Amendment, (ii) extend the maturity date by an additional three years from June 30, 2027 to February 12, 2031, and (iii) make certain amendments to the borrowing base calculation and negative covenants.

As of March 31, 2026, total availability under the CVR Energy ABL and CVR Partners’ ABL Credit Agreement (the “CVR Partners ABL”) aggregated to $589 million. The CVR Energy ABL had $11 million of letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2026. The CVR Energy ABL matures on February 12, 2031, and the CVR Partners ABL matures on September 26, 2028.
