Item 8.01. Other Events
 
On July 3, 2008, Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises”) acquired a 50.5% majority interest in Federal-Mogul Corporation (“Federal-Mogul”). As a result of the acquisition, the financial position and results of operations of Federal-Mogul are consolidated by Icahn Enterprises. Icahn Enterprises’ consolidated financial statements reflecting the acquisition will first be published in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2008.

On September 17, 2008, Federal-Mogul issued a press release announcing that it intends to initiate a restructuring plan designed to improve operating performance and respond to increasingly challenging conditions in the global automotive market. The planned actions are expected to occur as a result of several initiatives designed to streamline business processes, consolidate or close locations, and reduce general and administrative staffing. Federal-Mogul anticipates that these initiatives, which will begin in the quarter ending September 30, 2008 and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2009, will result in an estimated charge in the range of approximately $60 to $80 million. This estimated charge relates primarily to severance and benefits costs. The plan, when combined with other workforce adjustments, is expected to reduce Federal-Mogul’s global employment by approximately 4,000 positions, or eight percent.
 
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
