LP Unit Transactions

Unit Distributions

On February 23, 2026, we declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.50 per depositary unit, in which each depositary unitholder had the option to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units. Because the depositary unitholders could elect to receive the distribution either in cash or additional depositary units, we recorded a unit distribution liability of $325 million as the unit distribution had not been made as of March 31, 2026. In addition, the unit distribution liability, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, is considered a potentially dilutive security and is considered in the calculation of diluted income per depositary unit as disclosed above. Any difference between the liability recorded and the amount representing the aggregate value of the number of depositary units distributed and cash paid would be charged to equity.

In April 2026, we distributed 34,841,101 depositary units to unitholders who did not elect to receive cash, of which 32,536,774 depositary units were distributed to Mr. Icahn and his affiliates. In connection with these distributions, aggregate cash distributions to all depositary unitholders that made a timely election to receive cash was $51 million, of which $25 million was distributed to Mr. Icahn and his affiliates in April 2026.

At-The-Market Offerings

From time to time Icahn Enterprises enters into open market sale agreements providing for the sale of depositary units under its ongoing “at-the-market” offering program. As of March 31, 2026, Icahn Enterprises may sell depositary units for up to an additional $363 million in aggregate gross proceeds pursuant to the open market sale agreement entered into on August 26, 2024 (the “2024 Open Market Sale Agreement”). No assurance can be made that any or all amounts will be sold during the term of the agreement, and we have no obligation to sell additional depositary units under the 2024 Open Market Sale Agreement. Depending on market conditions, we may continue to sell depositary units under the 2024 Open Market Sale Agreement, and, if appropriate, enter into a new open market sale agreement to continue our “at-the-market” sales program once we have sold the full amount of our existing 2024 Open Market Sale Agreement. Our ability to access remaining capital under our “at-the-market” program may be limited by market conditions at the time of any future potential sale. There can be no assurance that any future capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all under this program.

Repurchase Authorization

On May 9, 2023, the Board of Directors of the General Partner approved a repurchase program which authorizes Icahn Enterprises or affiliates of Icahn Enterprises to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million worth of any of our outstanding fixed-rate senior notes issued by Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp. and up to an aggregate of $500 million worth of the depositary units issued by Icahn Enterprises (the “Repurchase Program”), in each case subject to restrictions on use of our cash contained in the indentures governing our indebtedness. The repurchases of senior notes or depositary units may be done for cash from time to time in the open market, through tender offers or in privately negotiated transactions upon such terms and at such prices as management may determine. The authorization of the Repurchase Program is for an indefinite term and does not expire until later terminated by the Board of Directors of Icahn Enterprises GP. On November 6, 2024, the Board re-approved the Repurchase Program, and, pursuant to the reapproved Program, we were reauthorized to repurchase up to $500 million worth of our outstanding fixed-rate senior notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not repurchase any of the Company’s depositary units or fixed-rate senior notes under the Repurchase Program. Repurchased notes are extinguished but not retired when held in treasury. We remain authorized to repurchase up to $450 million of our senior notes and up to $500 million of our outstanding depositary units, in each case subject to restrictions on use of our cash contained in the indentures governing our indebtedness.
