SCHEDULE 13D Item 1. Security and Issuer The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2012 (the "Initial 13D"), by the Reporting Persons with respect to the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the "Shares"), issued by CVR Energy, Inc. (the "Issuer"), is hereby amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Initial 13D. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Item 4 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended by adding the following: On February 13, 2012, Carl C. Icahn and other representatives of the Reporting Persons spoke with Jack Lipinski, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Issuer, and discussed the initiatives announced on February 13th by the Issuer. The Reporting Persons stated that they believed that shareholders would be better served if the Issuer commenced a process to put itself up for sale, rather than pursue the limited initiatives announced by the Issuer. The Reporting Persons believe that the Issuer's stock price does not reflect current high crack spreads. The Issuer is a small company with only two refineries. As a result, shareholders face an unfavorable risk reward ratio since they bear not only the risk of a decline in crack spreads, but also the risk of production interruptions which would reduce the upside from high crack spreads. The Reporting Persons expressed their belief that there are three or four possible acquirers that could benefit greatly from the synergies that could be realized from a combination with the Issuer and that are better positioned to hedge currently high crack spreads. Mr. Lipinski stated that he would take the Reporting Persons' suggestions under advisement and discuss them with his board of directors and advisors. The Reporting Persons believe the shareholders, the true owners of companies with the most to lose or gain, should decide whether or not the companies should be sold, and at what price - not management or its advisors. The Reporting Persons stated that while certainly the opinions of management and its advisors should be made known, the ultimate decision should be left in the hands of the stockholders/owners. The Reporting Persons also noted that the deadline for delivering notice to the Issuer regarding the intention to make proposals, including to nominate individuals for election as directors, at the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders of the Issuer is this Friday, and that the Reporting Persons were currently contemplating whether to deliver such a notice. SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of each of the undersigned knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
