Exhibit 99.1
Mavis to Acquire Pep Boys from Icahn Enterprises
for $700 Million in Cash
Transaction Accelerates Mavis's Growth Strategy,
Adding Iconic Pep Boys Brand and Significant Western U.S. Footprint to Mavis Network
Icahn Enterprises to Retain Owned Real Estate
as well as AAMCO Transmissions and Precision Tune Auto Care Businesses
White
Plains, NY and Sunny Isles Beach, FL, July 21, 2026 – 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”)
today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which a subsidiary of Mavis will acquire The Pep Boys-Manny,
Moe & Jack Holding Corp. (“Pep Boys”) from Icahn Automotive Group LLC, a subsidiary of IEP, for approximately $700 million
in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. IEP will retain the owned real estate previously transferred to IEP from Pep
Boys, as well as the AAMCO Transmissions and Precision Tune Auto Care Businesses.
Pep Boys is an established leader in automotive services, offering
tires, repairs, oil changes, and maintenance services from nearly 800 locations nationwide. The acquisition expands Mavis’s presence
in new and existing markets, particularly across the Western United States, where Pep Boys has a significant retail footprint, and grows
Mavis’s network to more than 4,400 service center locations across the United States and Canada.
“Today's
announcement marks a significant milestone as Mavis continues to execute its growth strategy. Pep Boys is one of the most well-respected
names in the automotive aftermarket, and we look forward to welcoming it into the Mavis family of brands," said David Sorbaro, Co-Chief
Executive Officer of Mavis. “Pep Boys brings a loyal customer base, deep-rooted market presence across the United States, and a
distribution network that will meaningfully enhance our supply chain nationwide. Together, we will create a stronger, more geographically
diverse platform with the scale and capabilities to provide dependable service to even more customers and create meaningful opportunities
for employees. We have tremendous respect for what the Pep Boys team has built, and we look forward to
partnering with them to drive their continued success.”
“For more than 100 years, Pep Boys has earned the trust of drivers across the country by delivering quality service with honesty and care,”
said Joe Auriemma, Chief Executive Officer of Pep Boys. “Mavis shares these values and, as part of the Mavis family, Pep
Boys will have the scale, footprint, and operational and technological strength to continue building on its legacy as it enters a new
chapter of growth.”
“We believe that the combined businesses will benefit greatly
from the inevitable economies of scale and from the great experience of the Mavis team in this industry. We welcome the Mavis acquisition
and are thankful to all of the employees of Pep Boys who made this transaction possible,” said Carl C. Icahn, Chairman of IEP.
“Icahn Enterprises acquired Pep Boys in 2016 because of its exceptional
fundamentals – a storied brand, a loyal customer base, and a footprint that needed the right stewardship to realize its full potential,”
said Ted Papapostolou, Chief Executive Officer of IEP. “Over the past decade, we have worked closely with the Pep Boys team to grow
the company and strengthen its competitive position while maintaining best-in-class customer service. I look forward to watching Pep Boys
continue to grow and succeed as part of Mavis.”
The transaction is expected to close in the coming months, subject
to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
