Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 1, 2013, Federal-Mogul Corporation ("Federal-Mogul"), a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("Icahn Enterprises") and Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. ("Icahn Enterprises Holdings", and together with Icahn Enterprises, the "Registrants"), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to retrospectively revise its historical consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 to reflect certain subsidiary operations as discontinued operations. In connection with the Federal-Mogul revisions, Federal-Mogul's previous auditors, Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y"), have reissued their report with respect to Federal-Mogul's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, which report appears in the Registrants' joint Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (the "Icahn 2012 10-K"). Additionally, E&Y previously reissued their report with respect to Federal-Mogul's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, which reissued report appears in the Registrants' Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2013. This Form 8-K is being filed solely to reflect our consideration of the Federal-Mogul revisions and to update E&Y's report. The Registrants have not made any retrospective revisions to their financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 that appear in the Icahn 2012 10-K and are not updating any other portion of the Icahn 2012 10-K. This Form 8-K does not modify or update the disclosures contained in the Icahn 2012 10-K in any way, other than to update E&Y's report with respect to Federal-Mogul's financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Federal-Mogul Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Federal-Mogul Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 (not presented herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Federal-Mogul Corporation at December 31, 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
