The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, August 9, 2017.

The Schedule TO, and all the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, to the extent incorporated by reference therein, is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below. Every Item in the Schedule TO is automatically updated, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference any section of the Offer to Purchase that is amended and supplemented herein.  All other terms and conditions of the Offer remain unchanged.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

The Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal and Items 1 through 12 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

“The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on August 9, 2017.  Based on the count by Wells Fargo Bank N.A., the depositary and paying agent for the Offer (the “Depositary and Paying Agent”), a total of 3,113,112 shares were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or below the price of $45.00 per share, including approximately 251,791 shares that were tendered through notices of guaranteed delivery.

 

The Company and Icahn Enterprises will accept for payment all shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at a price of $45.00 per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $140.1 million in the aggregate.  Of the shares accepted for payment, the Company severally, and not jointly, will accept for payment 800,000 shares for a total purchase price of $36.0 million, and Icahn Enterprises severally, and not jointly, will accept for payment 2,313,112 shares for a total purchase price of approximately $104.1 million.
