SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1. Security and Issuer

The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2012 (as previously amended, the “Initial 13D”), by the Reporting Persons with respect to the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Shares”), issued by CVR Energy, Inc. (the “Issuer”), is hereby further amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Initial 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

The Issuer previously disclosed that, while there could be no assurance regarding the future, the Issuer, as owner of CVR Refining GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of CVR Refining, LP (“CVRR”), and its affiliates had no current plans to exercise the call right provided in CVRR’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Limited Partnership Agreement"). On November 26, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer determined that, in light of current conditions, the Issuer should consider exercising this call right. Though the Issuer is now contemplating exercising the call right, there can be no assurance that the Issuer will exercise the call right or as to the timing of any such exercise.

As more fully described in CVRR’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer’s ownership of the General Partner gives the Issuer the right to call and purchase all of CVRR’s common units (other than common units held by the General Partner and its affiliates) at a formula price provided for in the Limited Partnership Agreement, if the General Partner and its affiliates own more than 80% in the aggregate of the outstanding common units of CVRR. While the General Partner and its affiliates currently own more than 80% in the aggregate of the outstanding common units of CVRR, any exercise of this call right would be subject to the approval of the Board. The purchase price per unit for the call right would be equal to the greater of (x) the average of the daily closing prices per CVRR common unit for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date three days prior to the date that a notice of election to purchase is mailed or (y) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its affiliates for any such CVRR common units during the 90-day period preceding the mailing of such notice of election to purchase. Neither the General Partner nor any of its affiliates have purchased CVRR common units during the 90-day period preceding the filing of this Schedule 13D/A.
