Icahn to sell American Railcar for up to $3.36 billion

Reuters

(Reuters) - Icahn Enterprises LP (IEP.O) said on Monday it would sell wholly owned subsidiary American Railcar Leasing LLC to SMBC Rail Services LLC in a deal based on an enterprise value of $2.78 billion and a fleet of about 29,000 railcars.

SMBC, part of Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc , will have an option to buy additional 4,800 railcars for about $586 million, three years after the expected close in mid-2017.

The additional purchase would increase the total price to $3.36 billion (2.71 billion pounds), Icahn Enterprise said.

Icahn Enterprises' shares were down 3.5 percent at $59.00 in afternoon trading.
