Prior to his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Teno, age 38, served as a portfolio manager at Icahn Capital LP, a subsidiary of the Company, since October 2020. Mr. Teno previously worked at Fir Tree Partners, a New York based private investment firm that invests worldwide in public and private companies, real estate and sovereign debt, from 2011 to April 2020. Prior to that, he worked at Crestview Partners from 2009 to 2011 as an associate in their private equity business, and at Gleacher Partners, a boutique mergers and acquisitions firm, from 2007 to 2009. Mr. Teno has served as a director of Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc., an entity that purchases, distributes and transports natural gas and provides utility infrastructure services across North America, since May 2022 and Illumina, Inc., a company engaged in sequencing- and array-based solutions for genetic and genomic analysis since May 2023.

Mr. Teno received an undergraduate business degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 2007.

Other than as described or incorporated by reference herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Teno and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Board, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Employment Agreement with Mr. Teno

On February 21, 2024, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Teno (the “Teno Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Teno Employment Agreement, Mr. Teno will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Icahn Enterprises GP, and Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. for a term through March 31, 2028, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Teno Employment Agreement (the “Term”). During the Term, Mr. Teno will be entitled to participate in all benefit programs and plans generally made available to other executives of the Company. Effective as of January 1, 2024 and continuing during the Term, Mr. Teno will be eligible to receive payments equal to an annualized amount of $2,600,000 (except that, for the period from January 1, 2024 through the date prior to the Effective Date, the payments will be based on an annualized amount of $1,500,000), payable in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices, that are in the form of a salary “draw” against the NAV Incentive (as defined below).

In addition, Mr. Teno will be eligible to receive a payment (generally subject to Mr. Teno’s continued employment through the payment date, except as described below) equal to 1.375% of the increase in the Company’s Adjusted NAV (as defined in the Teno Employment Agreement) over the period from February 21, 2024 through March 31, 2028, that is in excess of a 6.75% annual rate of return on the Adjusted NAV as of the beginning of such period (which shall be based on Adjusted NAV as of December 31, 2023), as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Teno Employment Agreement (the “NAV Incentive”), and generally payable within 15 days after the Company first publishes its indicative net asset value (“NAV”) following the end of such period (but no later than March 15, 2029). The final amount of the NAV Incentive is capped at $50,000,000, and will be reduced by the value of the salary “draw” paid to Mr. Teno, as well as the value of any cash and equity compensation actually received by Mr. Teno for service on boards of directors during the term of the arrangement, as determined by the Company. The NAV Incentive may be paid in cash or, in the Company’s discretion, in shares of common stock owned by certain of the Company’s affiliated funds vehicles.

However, if Mr. Teno’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” (including due to Mr. Teno’s death or disability) or by Mr. Teno with “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Teno Employment Agreement), Mr. Teno will be eligible to receive (subject to Mr. Teno’s timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims) payment of the NAV Incentive, paid within 15 days following the date that the Company first publishes NAV following such termination but no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year of termination, and with Adjusted NAV calculated based on that published NAV. If, however, that termination occurs within 60 days prior to or 6 months following a “Key Man Event” (as defined in the Manager Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2020, by and among the Company, Icahn Capital LP, Isthmus LLC, Icahn Partners LP, and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, as amended), this amount will be no less than $2,600,000.

In addition to his compensation from the Company, Mr. Teno will be entitled to retain any remuneration in respect of any board of directors (or similar governing body) on which Mr. Teno sits at the Company’s (or its affiliate’s) request, unless the Company (or its affiliates) own voting securities that constitute at least 40% of the vote for directors of such company.

The Teno Employment Agreement also contains customary confidentiality, cooperation and non-disparagement covenants, as well as non-solicitation and non-competition provisions.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Teno Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Teno Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Amended Willetts Letter Agreement

On February 21, 2024, Mr. Willetts entered into a letter agreement (the “Amended Letter Agreement”) with The Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack LLC (“Pep Boys”) and Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack of Puerto Rico, Inc.

The Amended Letter Agreement supersedes Mr. Willetts’ existing offer letter with the Company. Mr. Willetts’ initial base salary and target annual bonus under the Amended Letter Agreement will remain consistent with their current levels of $1,000,000 and $1,550,000, respectively. In addition, under the Amended Letter Agreement and in connection with Mr. Willetts’ move to Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, Mr. Willetts will receive a one-time relocation bonus of $50,000 (less applicable withholding taxes) within 30 days following his commencement of employment with Pep Boys (and subject to repayment by Mr. Willetts if he resigns or is terminated for “Cause” (as defined in the Amended Letter Agreement), in each case prior to December 31, 2024). During his employment with Pep Boys, Mr. Willetts will be eligible to participate in the employee benefits made to available to employees of Pep Boys in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plans. Mr. Willetts’ deferred units previously granted by the Company on December 9, 2021 (the “Deferred Units”) will remain outstanding and eligible to vest in accordance with their terms.

In addition, if Mr. Willetts’ employment is terminated by Pep Boys without “Cause” (as defined in the Amended Letter Agreement), Mr. Willetts will be entitled to (subject to Mr. Willetts’ timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims) (i) a pro-rata portion of the target bonus amount for the calendar year in which such termination occurs, (ii) any earned and unpaid target bonus for the calendar year preceding the year in which the termination occurs, and (iii) pro-rata vesting of the Deferred Units, pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Unit agreement.

In addition to his compensation from Pep Boys, Mr. Willetts will be entitled to retain any remuneration in respect of any board of directors (or similar governing body) on which Mr. Willetts sits at the Company’s (or its affiliate’s) request, unless the Company (or its affiliates) own voting securities that constitute at least 40% of the vote for directors of such company.

Without limiting anything contained above, Employee agrees and acknowledges that all personal and not otherwise public information about the Designated Entities, including, without limitation, their respective investments, investors, transactions, historical performance, or otherwise regarding or concerning Carl Icahn, Mr. Icahn’s family and employees of the Designated Entities, shall constitute Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. In no event shall Employee during or after Employee’s employment hereunder, disparage Mr. Icahn, Mr. Icahn’s family or the Designated Entities, or any of their respective officers or directors.

Employee further agrees not to write a book or article about the Designated Entities, Mr. Icahn, his family members or any of the respective Affiliates of any of the foregoing, in any media and not to publish or cause to be published in any media, any Confidential Information, and further agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose to any third party, including, but not limited to, newspapers, authors, publicists, journalists, bloggers, gossip columnists, producers, directors, script writers, media personalities, and the like, in any and all media or communication methods, any Confidential Information.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Employee agrees that following the cessation of Employee’s employment hereunder, the sole and only statements Employee will make about or concerning any or all of: Mr. Icahn, his family members and the Designated Entities, or any of the respective Affiliates of any of the foregoing, is to acknowledge that Employee is or was employed by Employer, and was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Employer, Holdings, and IEGP.

In the event of any dispute under this Agreement regarding an allegation by Employee or Employer of a breach of this Agreement, Employee may disclose in any complaint, answer or in legal documents necessary for such litigation, the terms of this Agreement and the facts constituting and relating to such alleged breach, to the extent such disclosure is necessary or appropriate in order to assert or defend against any allegation of, such breach in a court of law.

Nothing in this Agreement limits Employee’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”), nor does it limit Employee’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies, participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, or exercise any protected rights that Employee may have under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

10.

Summary

Term

The term of this arrangement as described on this Exhibit A (the “Term”) will have a start date effective as of February 21, 2024 (the “Start Date”) and an end date of March 31, 2028 (the “End Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement (as amended from time to time) to which it is attached (the “Employment Agreement”). This Exhibit A shall be deemed incorporated into the Employment Agreement and is an integral component of the Employment Agreement.

Performance Goals

This arrangement is designed to provide an incentive that aligns Employee’s compensation with Employer’s stockholders by providing an earnings opportunity that is linked to an increase in the value of Adjusted NAV (defined below) during the Term. “Adjusted NAV” means the Indicative Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of Employer, as Published (as defined below) by Employer, as adjusted to exclude the effects (positive or negative) of the following items that may occur during the Term: (i) any issuances of Employer equity or equity-linked securities, either pursuant to the ATM program (as currently in effect or as amended), other public offerings, issuances in connection with acquisitions, etc.; (ii) any dividends and distributions (including without limitation cash or equity dividends and distributions) made by Employer to the holders of its general and limited partnership interests; (iii) the value and performance of the current and future Bausch Health Companies Inc. and Bausch + Lomb Corporation positions held by Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP and/or their Affiliates (the “Funds”), including common stock, preferred stock, forwards, options, swaps and any and all other equity or debt securities, derivatives or instruments issued by or referencing such companies (the “Bausch Positions”); and (iv) other unusual or non-recurring items. For the avoidance of doubt, the value and performance of all other current and future positions held by the Funds (i.e., all positions other than the Bausch Positions) will be included in the calculation of Adjusted NAV. The parties agree that Adjusted NAV as of the Start Date will be the NAV of Employer as of December 31, 2023, as reported in the earnings release to be issued on or about the filing date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Employer for its fiscal year 2023 (“Initial NAV”).

No.

Summary

NAV Incentive Fee

Except as otherwise provided below under “Early Termination,” Employer will deliver to Employee a one-time payment (the “NAV Incentive Fee”), within 15 days following the date that Employer first Publishes NAV after the End Date, but no later than March 15, 2029 (the date of such payment being the “NAV Incentive Fee Payment Date”), equal to (it being understood and agreed that if such amount is a negative number then the NAV Incentive Fee will be zero): (A) the Profit Participation Amount (as defined below); minus (B) the sum of all Interim Payments (as defined below) made by Employer to Employee during the Term; minus (C) the value, as determined by Employer (at the time of vesting/settlement or receipt, and not the time of grant), of all cash and equity compensation actually received by Employee from service on boards of directors between the Start Date and the End Date. In lieu of cash, the NAV Incentive Fee, or any portion thereof, may, at Employer’s option, be satisfied by the delivery to Employee of shares of common stock held by the Funds (valued as of the close of business on the day prior to delivery, as determined by Employer) provided, however, that unless Employee shall have agreed otherwise, any such delivery of common stock must be made on a pro rata basis (i.e., Employer cannot select only common stock in certain positions held by the Funds to deliver to Employee, but instead must deliver common stock from each position held by the Funds, in the same proportion as such position bears to the then-current net asset value of the Funds, as determined by Employer). For example, if a position accounts for 2% of the then-current net asset value of the Funds, then that position must account for 2% of the total value of common stock delivered to Employee in lieu of cash. “Profit Participation Amount” means (it being understood and agreed that if such amount is a negative number then the Profit Participation Amount will be zero): (A) the product of (x) 1.375% multiplied by (y) the Total Profit (as defined below); minus (B) the Hurdle Amount (as defined below); provided, however, that in no event shall the Profit Participation Amount exceed $50 million. “Total Profit” means (it being understood and agreed that if such amount is a negative number then Total Profit will be zero) Adjusted NAV as of the End Date minus Initial NAV. “Hurdle Amount” means an amount equal to a return on Initial NAV, at an annual rate of 6.75%, from the Start Date through and including the End Date. “Publish” means: (x) to issue any press release, or to file any document with the SEC, in either case which discloses NAV; and (y) at any time that Employer either (a) no longer has a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (b) is not, for any reason, continuing to publicly disclose NAV by means of press releases or SEC filings, to deliver to the board of directors and/or management of Employer any document which discloses final NAV.

For purposes of this arrangement: “Year 1” means the period beginning at 12:01 AM on January 1, 2024 and ending at 11:59 PM on March 31, 2025; “Year 2” means the period beginning at 12:01 AM on April 1, 2025 and ending at 11:59 PM on March 31, 2026; “Year 3” means the period beginning at 12:01 AM on April 1, 2026 and ending at 11:59 PM on March 31, 2027; and “Year 4” means the period beginning at 12:01 AM on April 1, 2027 and ending at 11:59 PM on March 31, 2028.

Each date that an Interim Payment is due to be paid hereunder is referred to herein as an “Interim Payment Date”. Employee understands and acknowledges that each Interim Payment will be reduced by the amount of applicable tax withholding, employee benefit contributions and the like as required or authorized by applicable law.

Calculations

The parties agree that the NAV Incentive Fee, the Profit Participation Amount, the Total Profit, the Hurdle Amount, the Interim Payments, and any other amounts contemplated hereunder will be calculated in accordance with the methodology and hypothetical examples set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

Employment Condition

Except as otherwise expressly provided below, Employee must remain in the continuous employment of Employer, in each case on (x) the NAV Incentive Fee Payment Date, in order to be eligible to receive the NAV Incentive Fee, and (y) each Interim Payment Date, in order to be eligible to receive the Interim Payment due with respect to such Interim Payment Date.

·       If such termination is the result of (x) Employee’s death, or (y) Employee’s resignation for Good Reason or Employer’s termination of Employee without Cause (which Employer is free to do at any time and for any reason or no reason, and including a termination by Employer by reason of Employee’s Disability), then, subject to the requirements set forth in Section 7(c) of the Employment Agreement, Employee will be eligible to receive the NAV Incentive Fee, payable within 15 days following the date that Employer first Publishes NAV after such date of termination (and with Adjusted NAV calculated based on such Published NAV, instead of the Adjusted NAV on the End Date), but no later than the March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such termination occurs; provided, however, that if either a resignation by Employee for Good Reason or a termination by Employer of Employee’s employment without Cause occurs concurrently with, or within (A) 60 days before, or (B) 6 months after, a Key Man Event (as defined in the Manager Agreement dated as of October 1, 2020, by and among Employer, Icahn Capital, Isthmus LLC, and the Funds, as amended), then the foregoing amount shall be no less than $2.6 million.

Summary

Administration

This arrangement will be administered by the Board of Directors of IEGP, which will have full and final authority, exercised in good faith, to determine NAV, Adjusted NAV, the components thereof and the value of the Bausch Positions, calculate the NAV Incentive Fee, the Profit Participation Amount, the Total Profit, the Hurdle Amount, the Interim Payments, and answer all other questions that arise hereunder, in each case in accordance with the terms above. Employee acknowledges that (x) NAV is a non-GAAP financial measure, (y) Employer is under no obligation to continue Publishing NAV (or to take or refrain from taking any actions that might affect NAV positively or negatively) and (z) if Employer elects to discontinue Publishing NAV (which Employer is free to do at any time and for any reason or no reason) then Employer will use reasonable efforts to continue calculating NAV and Adjusted NAV, substantially in accordance with past practices, for use in determining payments, if any, due hereunder. Further, Employee acknowledges that Employer and Icahn Capital LP (“Icahn Capital”) may, but shall be under no obligation to, consult with Employee regarding decisions relating to NAV, the components thereof and/or the Bausch Positions (including, without limitation, decisions whether to buy, sell or hold any investments and/or to take or refrain from taking any actions, make any regulatory filings or issue any statements with respect to such investments), and that such decisions may impact significantly the ability of Employee to receive the NAV Incentive Fee.

Clawback

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained above:

·      Employee will not be required to repay any Interim Payments in the event that the sum of all such Interim Payments exceeds the NAV Incentive Fee due at the end of the Term; and

·      Employee will be obligated to repay all excess compensation received hereunder if NAV is restated by Employer for any reason and, as a consequence thereof, the NAV Incentive Fee or any Interim Payment received by Employee would have been lower based on the restated NAV; provided, however, that the NAV Incentive Fee and each Interim Payment delivered to Employee hereunder shall cease to be subject to this clawback provision on the date that is 2 years following the date that such payment was made to Employee; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts paid or payable hereunder shall be subject to any clawback or recoupment required by applicable law, regulation, or rule (including rules applicable to issuers on any exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which securities of Employer and/or Icahn Capital are then listed or traded).

Mr. David Willetts

Dear David:

In connection with your appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer of The Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack LLC (the “Company”) and Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack of Puerto Rico, Inc. (together with the Company and each of their subsidiaries, the “Company Group”), to be based in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, effective as of February 21, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company is pleased to offer you the compensation terms set forth in this letter, which will supersede and replace in its entirety the terms of the offer letter from Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“IEP”) directed to you, dated December 9, 2021 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Prior Employment Letter”). Pursuant to this letter, your bi-weekly base salary will continue to be $38,461.54 (annualized at $1,000,000). You will report to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”).

In your position, you are responsible for, among other things, (i) oversight of the Company Group’s business operations, (ii) providing your expertise in connection with the current and future business activities of the Company Group and its affiliates, and (iii) performing such other duties as are customarily associated with your position and as may be reasonably requested by the Company Board. In addition, you will continue to remain as a director on the Company Board for as long as you are employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer. You acknowledge that a third director will be added to the Company Board following the Effective Date and that directors may be added or removed to the Company Board from time to time.

Your primary work location will be Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania and you will perform your services hereunder on a full-time basis at such location. It is expected that you will regularly report to the Company’s Bala Cynwyd, PA headquarters Monday-Friday. Given the importance of building a team, developing, and executing the strategic plans for this business, this is an on-site position in Bala Cynwyd.

In connection with your relocation to Bala Cynwyd (or its surrounding areas), the Company will pay you $50,000 (less all applicable federal, state, and local withholding taxes) as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, but in no event later than the 30^th day following the Effective Date, for your moving and other relocation expenses (the “Relocation Bonus”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you terminate your employment with the Company or if you are terminated by the Company for Cause, in each case, prior to December 31, 2024, you will be responsible for reimbursing the Company for the full amount of the Relocation Bonus. By signing below, you authorize the Company to withhold this amount from any bonus, Paid Time Off (“PTO”) payout, and other final pay you may receive upon your termination of employment as permitted by law. If the amount withheld from your final payout is insufficient to cover the entire amount owed, you agree to reimburse the Company for the remaining balance by no later than 30 days following your separation date.

Mr. David Willetts

February 21, 2024

By your execution of this letter, you hereby resign from your position as a director on the Board of Directors of IEP (“IEP Board”) and your positions as an officer of affiliates of IEP (other than the Company) listed on Exhibit A (attached hereto) or as a director on the board of directors of such affiliates, in each case, effective as of the Effective Date (and shall execute any additional documentation reasonably requested by IEP or any such affiliate to effectuate any such resignations). However, to the extent requested by IEP, you will serve on boards of directors of companies as designated from time to time by IEP, will not resign during the then current term as a director of any such company, and will resign from any such board upon IEP’s request that you do so. Any remuneration obtained by you as a result of acting as a board member of a public company will remain your property; provided that you will not be entitled to any such remuneration for serving on the board of any company of which IEP or its affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, voting securities that constitute at least 40% of the vote for directors of such company. You will travel, as reasonably requested by the Company, in connection with your duties, as well as in connection with service on such boards of directors. The Company will reimburse you for travel and hotel expenses related to business travel, in accordance with the Company’s Travel and Expense Policy.

Moreover, you are expected to diligently and conscientiously devote your entire time, attention, and energies to the Company’s business and will not pursue or be actively engaged in any other business activity, except that you will be permitted to serve on civic or charitable boards and to invest passively, in each case (x) solely to the extent that you provide advance written notice to the Company of such activities, and the Company determines that such activities will not create an actual or potential conflict of interest with the Company or any of its affiliates or otherwise interfere or detract from the performance of your duties and (y) subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s and IEP’s insider trading, ethics, and other policies.

For each calendar year of employment you complete (i.e., January 1 through December 31, or in the case of 2024, from the Effective Date through December 31, 2024), you will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus with a target amount of $1,550,000, subject to your continued employment through the actual payment date (except with respect to the possible payment of a pro-rata bonus for the year of the termination and possible payment of any unpaid annual bonus for the year preceding the year of termination, in each case, as specifically provided for below in the event of a Company-initiated termination without Cause) and payable on the Company’s first regular payroll date in the January of the calendar year following the calendar year to which the bonus relates. For the avoidance of doubt, if your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or by your resignation for any reason or no reason prior to the payment date, you shall forfeit any unpaid annual bonus.

Additionally, the “Deferred Units” granted pursuant to your Deferred Unit Agreement, by and between you and IEP, dated as of December 9, 2021 (as amended or supplemented, the “Deferred Unit Agreement”), shall remain outstanding and be eligible to vest (or be forfeited) in accordance with the terms and conditions of your Deferred Unit Agreement and IEP’s 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

You and the Company will work together with respect to the creation and implementation of an incentive program. The Company Board will determine in its sole discretion the timing, conditions and amounts of any subsequent grants that may be made to you or other employees of the Company under such incentive program.

Mr. David Willetts

All of your compensation is subject to withholding and deductions as required by federal, state and local law.

“Cause” means, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion: (A) your willful failure to perform substantially your duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to documented Disability); (B) commission of, or indictment for, a felony or any crime involving fraud or embezzlement or dishonesty or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to a crime or misdemeanor (other than a traffic violation) punishable by imprisonment under federal, state, or local law; (C) engagement in an act of fraud or other act of willful dishonesty or misconduct toward the Company or any of its related companies or affiliates, detrimental to the Company or any of its related companies or affiliates, or in the performance of your duties; (D) negligence in the performance of your employment duties that has a detrimental effect on the Company or any of its related companies or affiliates; (E) violation of a federal or state securities law or regulation; (F) the use of a controlled substance without a prescription or the use of alcohol which, in each case, significantly impairs your ability to carry out your duties and responsibilities; (G) material violation of the policies and procedures of the Company or any of its related companies or affiliates (including, without limitation, any such policies regarding sexual harassment, discrimination, or retaliation); (H) embezzlement and/or misappropriation of property of the Company or any of its related companies or affiliates; or (I) conduct involving any immoral acts which is reasonably likely to impair the reputation of the Company or any of its related companies or affiliates.

“Disability” or “Disabled” has the meaning set forth in your Deferred Unit Agreement.

You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s PTO program, subject to the policies of the Company including any cap on accruals, which policies may change from time to time. Notwithstanding the terms of the PTO policy, you will be entitled to an aggregate of 20 PTO days annually. Your accrued PTO days, if any, with IEP shall be transferred to the Company as of the Effective Date.

The Company recognizes the need for certain team members to be readily accessible by cell phone as a part of their regular job duties. Accordingly, you will have the choice of being given a Company-paid cell phone, or you can choose to use your own personal cell phone for business use in lieu of the Company-paid plan. If you choose to use your personal cell phone, you will be provided an allowance of $50.00 per month, which is the equivalent to the cost of the Company-paid plan.

You will be eligible for medical, dental, vision, disability, and other employee benefits generally made available to employees of the Company (including participation in a 401(k) plan) subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit program. You will be given full credit for purposes of your eligibility to participate in, or receive vesting under, each employee benefit plan or program maintained by the Company under which you are eligible to participate to the same extent that such credit was recognized by IEP under any comparable benefit plan or program immediately prior to the Effective Date, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Exhibit 99.1

Icahn Enterprises L.P. Announces Management & Financial Update

Names Icahn Capital Portfolio Manager, Andrew Teno, as Chief Executive Officer

Names Current Chief Executive Officer, David Willetts, as Chief Executive Officer of Pep Boys

Announces Estimated Indicative Net Asset Value of $4.76 billion as of Year End 2023

Maintains Quarterly Distribution of $1.00 per Depositary Unit

During the last few months we have defeased all our 2024 notes and the next note maturity of $750 million is December of 2025

Our cash position was $2.7 billion across the Holding Company and Investment segments as of Year End 2023 ⁽¹⁾

SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla., February 21, 2024 -- Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NASDAQ: IEP) today released the following:

Chairman Carl C. Icahn stated:

“I have come to believe that activism, on a risk reward basis, is the best investment paradigm that exists. While this method of investing certainly is somewhat volatile, over the long term the returns cannot be matched.

In 2000, IEP began to expand its business beyond its traditional real estate activities to fully embrace the activist strategy. On January 1, 2000, the closing sale price of our depositary units was $7.63 per depositary unit. On February 16, 2024, our depositary units closed at $21.22 per depositary unit, representing an increase of approximately 1,066% since January 1, 2000 (including reinvestment of distributions into additional depositary units and taking into account in-kind distributions of depositary units). Comparatively, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial and Russell 2000 indices increased approximately 436%, 491% and 453%, respectively, over the same period (including reinvestment of distributions into those indices).

The reason activism works so well is that, somewhat unfortunately, many public companies are not well run. It is very difficult and expensive to remove a poorly-performing CEO and board. And that is why so few investors today employ true activism. Fortunately for IEP and its unitholders, we are in a unique position to be activists. Given our track record, our stable capital base, and our willingness to launch proxy contests (which are extremely arduous and expensive to conduct and even more so to win), we are frequently invited into the tent without ever having to take aggressive actions. To that end, we currently have 25 board seats in our disclosed public company investments.

-1-

We encourage all of our companies to pursue spin-offs and asset sales when they create value, improve leadership in key positions and help manage and settle complex litigation. We often find ourselves investing in companies that are temporarily out of favor and/or contain hidden jewels. We have continued to pick our spots and find new, exciting activist opportunities, including the recently announced positions in American Electric Power Company, Inc. (ticker: AEP) and JetBlue Airways Corp. (ticker: JBLU) within our Investment segment.

To best position IEP and our activist efforts for future success, we are making several management changes — including naming Icahn Capital portfolio manager Andrew Teno as CEO of IEP and naming David Willetts as Chief Executive Officer of Pep Boys.”

Mr. Teno has worked at Icahn Capital as a portfolio manager since October 2020. In addition, Mr. Teno serves as a director of Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SWX) and Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN). Mr. Teno previously served as a director of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), Crown Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CCK), Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE: LNG) and Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI). Mr. Teno received an undergraduate business degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 2007.

Andrew Teno stated: “There is nobody in corporate America who is not familiar with Carl Icahn and his often imitated but never duplicated activist strategy. I look forward to working with Carl, even more closely than I have since joining in 2020.

Chairman Carl C. Icahn stated: “Andrew has had an impressive record of stock picking and position stewardship within our Investment segment. I am confident in his ability to help lead IEP into the next phase of its evolution.”

Chairman Carl C. Icahn further stated: “David Willetts has done an admirable job in improving the operational performance of our portfolio companies. We believe David’s skill set is particularly suited to work on a day-to-day basis to drive the significant value creation potential in Pep Boys.”

Mr. Icahn continued: “Over the long term, our activist returns have been outstanding. Given our hedge portfolio and the frequent long time horizon of our complex activist investments, our returns can often be lumpy. There are also times when our hedge book can go against us and overwhelm the performance of our long positions. This underperformance has occurred several times in IEP’s history. While there are never guarantees, we expect our returns to improve back to historical levels where our long positions far outperform our hedges. If successful, this should result in greatly enhanced NAV.”

Icahn Enterprises is also announcing estimated indicative Net Asset Value of $4.76 billion as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of approximately $411 million, with underperformance driven primarily by the investment funds and the return of capital to unitholders.

In addition, IEP is announcing its intention to again declare a $1.00 per depositary unit distribution for Q4 2023, which represents a 19% annualized yield based on the closing price on February 16, 2024, and unitholders will continue to have the right to elect whether to receive cash or additional depositary units.

⁽¹⁾

Our cash position of $2.7 billion consists of Investment segment cash held at consolidated partnerships of $1.1 billion, Holding Company cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 billion and Investment segment cash and cash equivalents of $23 million.

Use of Indicative Net Asset Value Data

The Company uses indicative net asset value as an additional method for considering the value of the Company’s assets, and we believe that this information can be helpful to investors. Please note, however, that the indicative net asset value does not represent the market price at which the depositary units trade. Accordingly, data regarding indicative net asset value is of limited use and should not be considered in isolation.

The Company's depositary units are not redeemable, which means that investors have no right or ability to obtain from the Company the indicative net asset value of units that they own. Units may be bought and sold on The Nasdaq Global Select Market at prevailing market prices. Those prices may be higher or lower than the indicative net asset value of the depositary units as calculated by management.

See below for more information on how we calculate the Company’s indicative net asset value.

Indicative net asset value does not purport to reflect a valuation of IEP. The calculated indicative net asset value does not include any value for our Investment Segment other than the fair market value of our investment in the Investment Funds. A valuation is a subjective exercise and indicative net asset value does not necessarily consider all elements or consider in the adequate proportion the elements that could affect the valuation of IEP. Investors may reasonably differ on what such elements are and their impact on IEP. No representation or assurance, express or implied, is made as to the accuracy and correctness of indicative net asset value as of these dates or with respect to any future indicative or prospective results which may vary.

(1)

Represents GAAP equity attributable to us as of each respective date.

(2)

Based on closing share price on each date (or if such date was not a trading day, the immediately preceding trading day) and the number of shares owned by the Holding Company as of each respective date.

(3)

Amounts based on market comparables due to lack of material trading volume, valued at 9.0x Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended as of each respective date

(4)

Amounts based on market comparables, valued at 10.0x Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended as of each respective date.

(5)

Beginning in Q2 of 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of IEP within the Automotive segment acquired assets from the Auto Plus bankruptcy auction, which are reflected in Automotive Parts.

(6)

Management performed a valuation on the owned real-estate with the assistance of third-party consultants to estimate fair-market-value. This analysis utilized property-level market rents, location level profitability, and utilized prevailing cap rates ranging from 7.0% to 10.0% as of December 31, 2023 and 6.8% to 8.0% as of September 30, 2023. The valuation assumed that triple net leases are in place for all the locations at rents estimated by management based on market conditions. There is no assurance we would be able to sell the assets on the timeline or at the prices and lease terms we estimate. Different judgments or assumptions would result in different estimates of the value of these real estate assets. Moreover, although we evaluate and provide our indicative net asset value on a regular basis, the estimated values may fluctuate in the interim, so that any actual transaction could result in a higher or lower valuation.

(7)

Represents GAAP equity of the Holding Company Segment, excluding cash and cash equivalents, debt and non-cash deferred tax assets or liabilities. As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, Other Net Assets includes $20 million and $26 million, respectively, of Automotive Segment liabilities assumed from the Auto Plus bankruptcy.

(8)

Holding Company’s balance as of each respective date.
