Section 8 - Other Events

 

Item 8.01   Other Events.

 

Federal-Mogul Corporation ("Federal-Mogul") is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("Icahn Enterprises") and Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. ("Icahn Enterprises Holdings"). Federal-Mogul's largest stockholder, IEH FM Holdings LLC ("IEH FM Holdings"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings.

 

On July 10, 2013, approximately 51,124,744 shares of Federal-Mogul common stock were purchased in Federal-Mogul's previously announced common stock registered rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) for a total subscription price of approximately $500 million.  The Rights Offering expired on July 9, 2013 at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time. In connection with the Rights Offering, we fully exercised our subscription rights under our basic and over subscription privileges to purchase additional Federal-Mogul common stock for an aggregate of approximately $434 million. As a result of the exercise of our subscription rights, we indirectly own approximately 81% of the outstanding common stock of Federal-Mogul. A copy of the press release issued by Federal-Mogul announcing the completion of the Rights Offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

On July 10, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement dated May 28, 2013 between Federal-Mogul and IEH FM Holdings, Federal-Mogul’s existing registration rights agreement relating to the registration rights of certain Federal-Mogul shareholders was amended by an Amendment and Joinder to the Federal-Mogul Corporation Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement Amendment”), by and between Federal-Mogul and IEH FM Holdings. The Registration Rights Agreement Amendment provides for, among other things, certain registration rights for the shares that IEH FM Holdings acquired pursuant to the Rights Offering so long as such shareholder owns not less than twenty percent (20%) of the shares so acquired.

 

Additionally, following the closing of the Rights Offering, IEH FM Holdings’ purchase of the shares of Federal-Mogul common stock in the Rights Offering caused Federal-Mogul to become a part of IEH FM Holdings’ affiliated group of corporations as defined in Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, of which American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., is the common parent. On July 11, 2013, Federal-Mogul entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (the “Tax Allocation Agreement”) with AEP. Pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, AEP and Federal-Mogul have agreed to the allocation of certain income tax items. Federal-Mogul will join AEP in the filing of AEP’s federal consolidated return and certain state consolidated returns. In those jurisdictions where Federal-Mogul is filing consolidated returns with AEP, Federal-Mogul will pay to AEP any tax it would have owed had it continued to file separately. To the extent that the AEP consolidated group is able to reduce its tax liability as a result of including Federal-Mogul in its consolidated group, AEP will pay Federal-Mogul 20% of such reduction and Federal-Mogul will carry forward for its own use under the Tax Allocation Agreement, 80% of the items that caused the tax reduction (the “Excess Tax Benefits”). Moreover, if Federal-Mogul should ever become deconsolidated from AEP, AEP will reimburse Federal-Mogul for any tax liability in post-consolidation years it would have avoided had it actually had the Excess Tax Benefits for its own use. The cumulative payments to Federal-Mogul by AEP post-consolidation cannot exceed the cumulative reductions in tax to the AEP group resulting from its use of the Excess Tax Benefits.
