Exhibit (a)(5)(D)

 

 

CVR Energy Announces Commencement of Exchange Offer

 

Offer will allow unitholders of CVR Refining to exchange common units of CVR Refining
for shares of CVR Energy common stock with a value of $24.26 per common unit

 

SUGAR LAND, Texas (June 18, 2018) — CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) (“CVR Energy”) today announced the commencement of an offering to exchange shares of CVR Energy common stock for up to 37,154,236 common units of CVR Refining, LP (“CVR Refining”) (the “exchange offer”). The value of the exchange offer is $24.26 per common unit. The exchange ratio for the exchange offer is one common unit for 0.6335 shares of CVR Energy common stock.

 

The exchange offer is being conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a prospectus/offer to exchange filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and as a part of CVR Energy’s registration statement on Form S-4 and Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO initially filed with the SEC on May 29, 2018.

 

CVR Energy believes that, in light of recent tax reform, many CVR Refining unitholders may wish to hold their investment in the form of common stock rather than partnership interests.

 

An exchanging unitholder will cease to have any direct interest in CVR Refining with respect to the common units exchanged but will continue to participate indirectly in the performance of CVR Refining to the extent of such unitholder’s ownership of shares of CVR Energy common stock received in the exchange offer.

 

An exchanging unitholder will also participate directly in the performance of CVR Energy as a stockholder of CVR Energy, including any future premium that may be received by stockholders of CVR Energy in connection with a sale or other corporate transaction.

 

The consummation of the exchange offer is subject to, among other things, a sufficient number of common units of CVR Refining being validly tendered and not properly withdrawn such that, following consummation of the exchange offer, CVR Energy and entities affiliated with CVR Energy, including Icahn Enterprises L.P., will own more than 80% of the common units of CVR Refining.

 

Pursuant to the partnership agreement of CVR Refining, once the general partner and its affiliates own more than 80% of the common units of CVR Refining, the general partner and its affiliates will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the common units of CVR Refining held by unaffiliated unitholders of CVR Refining at a price not less than their then-current market price, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement. Accordingly, the general partner and its affiliates will be entitled to exercise this call right after the consummation of the exchange offer. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the general partner is not obligated to obtain a fairness opinion regarding the value of the common units of CVR Refining to be repurchased by it upon exercise of the call right. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the general partner may use its own discretion, free of fiduciary

 



 

duty restrictions, in determining whether to exercise the call right. The general partner and its affiliates (including CVR Energy and Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates) have no current plans to exercise the call right at this time or upon the consummation of the exchange offer. However, there can be no assurance that the general partner and its affiliates will not exercise the call right in the future.

 

On June 15, 2018, the last full trading day before the date of this press release, the closing price of one share of CVR Energy common stock was $38.29 and the closing price of one common unit of CVR Refining was $22.95. Based on these closing prices and the exchange ratio above, the exchange offer would have a per common unit value of $24.26 per common unit. The value of the exchange offer will change as the market prices of CVR Energy common stock and CVR Refining common units fluctuate during the offer period and thereafter and may therefore be different from the price set forth above at the expiration time of the exchange offer and thereafter. Unitholders are encouraged to obtain current market quotations for shares of CVR Energy common stock and CVR Refining common units prior to making any decision with respect to the exchange offer.

 

The purpose of the exchange offer for CVR Energy is to increase its ownership of CVR Refining. As of the date of the offer, CVR Energy and its affiliates (including affiliates of Icahn Enterprises L.P.) beneficially owned approximately 69.8% of the common units of CVR Refining. Assuming the maximum number of 37,154,236 common units of CVR Refining are validly tendered for exchange and exchanged by CVR Energy, CVR Energy and its affiliates (including affiliates of Icahn Enterprises L.P.) will hold approximately 95% of the outstanding common units of CVR Refining.

 

CVR Energy, CVR Refining, the information agent or the exchange agent or any of their respective affiliates are not making any recommendation to CVR Refining unitholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their common units for exchange. CVR Refining unitholders must make their own decision as to whether to exchange their common units and, if so, how many common units to tender for exchange. In doing so, CVR Refining unitholders should carefully read the entire prospectus/offer to exchange, and the information incorporated by reference therein, and related letter of transmittal.
