Mr. Willetts has served as Chief Financial Officer and a member of the board of directors of Icahn Enterprises since June 2021.

In connection with the promotion of Mr. Willetts and Mr. Papapostolou, Icahn Enterprises also announced the resignation of Aris Kekedjian as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the board of directors.
