Exhibit 99.1
The Value of Activist Board Membership
The following Chart has been prepared by Icahn Enterprises and responds to those that question the efficacy of including activists' designees on public company Boards of Directors.
From January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2014 (a 5.5 year period) Icahn designees have joined the Boards of the 23 companies listed in the Chart. As reflected in the Chart, a person that invested in each company on the date that the Icahn designee joined the Board, and that sold on the date that the Icahn designee left the Board (or continued to hold through June 30, 2014 if the designee did not leave the Board) would have obtained an annualized return of 27%.
