Context
- This is a dividend-in-kind receipt by a 10% owner and related entities—not an open-market buy or sale—so it does not directly signal new buying/selling intent by Mr. Icahn.
- As a 10% owner with complex indirect holdings, reported totals reflect units held through multiple affiliated entities; disclaimers in the footnotes note that Mr. Icahn and related entities may be deemed to beneficially own units indirectly but disclaim direct ownership except to the extent of pecuniary interest.
