Icahn Enterprises to Retain Owned Real Estate as well as AAMCO Transmissions and Precision Tune Auto Care Businesses

Mavis Tire Express Services Corp. (“Mavis” or the “Company”), one of the largest independent tire and service providers in North America, and Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NASDAQ: IEP) (“IEP”) has announced the completion of Mavis’s previously announced acquisition of The Pep Boys-Manny, Moe & Jack Holding Corp.
