Explanation of Responses:

Remarks:
Coffeyville Acquisition LLC and Coffeyville Acquisition II LLC each own shares of CVR Energy, Inc. (the "Company") common
stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"). Mr. Gross owns common units equal to 0.012% of the total common units of
each of Coffeyville Acquisition LLC and Coffeyville Acquisition II LLC. Mr. Gross also owns 4,326,324 phantom points pursuant to the
Coffeyville Resources, LLC Phantom Unit Appreciation Plan (Plan I) and Coffeyville Resources, LLC Phantom Unit Appreciation Plan
(Plan II). Phantom points constitute rights to a portion of the profits generated by Coffeyville Acquisition LLC and Coffeyville Acquisition
II LLC. The phantom unit appreciation plans are filed as exhibits 10.3 and 10.32 to the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-1, File No. 333-137588 (the "Registration Statement"). The limited liability company agreements of Coffeyville Acquisition
LLC and Coffeyville Acquisition II LLC are filed as exhibits 10.34 and 10.35, respectively, to the Registration Statement.

Mr. Gross does not have the power to vote or dispose of the shares of Common Stock that correspond to his ownership of common units
in Coffeyville Acquisition LLC and Coffeyville Acquisition II LLC and thus does not have beneficial ownership of such shares. In addition,
Mr. Gross does not have any pecuniary interest in the shares of Common Stock held by Coffeyville Acquisition LLC and Coffeyville
Acquisition II LLC (or phantom points) because he does not control either Coffeyville Acquisition LLC or Coffeyville Acquisition
II LLC and does not have or share investment control over either entity's securities.
