Refiner CVR Energy has announced an underwritten public offering of common stock worth $750 million, according to a notice published by TradingView and based on the company's press release. The company is offering $500 million of shares, while IEP Energy Holding LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. and the controlling stockholder, is offering $250 million. The selling stockholder also expects to grant underwriters a 30-day option for up to an additional $112.5 million at the offering price.

The funds will also redeem its 5.750% senior notes due 2028. The offering is not tied to the acquisition, and the acquisition is not tied to the offering. If the deal does not close, proceeds will go toward general corporate purposes. The offering remains subject to market conditions.
