Icahn Enterprises To Issue Notice Of Redemption For All Outstanding 5% Cumulative Pay-In-Kind Redeemable Preferred Units Represe

NEW YORK, Feb. 19  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NYSE: IEP) ("Icahn Enterprises") announced today that on Monday, February 22, 2010, it will issue a notice of redemption of its outstanding 5% cumulative pay-in-kind redeemable preferred units representing limited partnership interests in Icahn Enterprises (NYSE:IEP-P) (the "Preferred Units").  The redemption date of the Preferred Units is March 31, 2010.

The redemption price is $10.50 per Preferred Unit.  The redemption price will be paid solely in depositary units representing limited partnership interests in Icahn Enterprises, except that cash will be paid in lieu of fractional depositary units.  Depositary units will be valued at the average price at which the depositary units had been trading on the New York Stock Exchange over the 20-day period immediately preceding the redemption date.

Unless Icahn Enterprises defaults in the payment of the redemption price, distributions on the Preferred Units will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the holders of the Preferred Units after such date will be to receive payment of the redemption price (without interest) upon presentation and surrender of the Preferred Units to Icahn Enterprises.  After the redemption date, all Preferred Units shall be deemed no longer outstanding.  Accordingly there will be no record date for distribution payments for these issues. Any and all accrued distributions will be payable upon surrender.

Icahn Enterprises will send a notice of redemption to the registered holders of the Preferred Units and a letter of transmittal to be used to surrender certificates for redemption.  All Preferred Units held through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") will be redeemed according to DTC's procedures.  Payment will be made to registered holders of the Preferred Units on the redemption date only upon presentation and surrender of the physical certificates representing the Preferred Units for cancellation.  Registered holders of the Preferred Units should surrender their certificates (together with a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal) to Registrar and Transfer Company, as redemption agent, at the following address:
