Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 6, 2023, CVR Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coffeyville Resources
Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CRNF"),
CapturePoint LLC, an unaffiliated Texas limited liability company
("CapturePoint"), and certain unaffiliated third-party investors (the
"Investors") entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement"),
an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of CVR-CapturePoint
LLC (the "LLC Agreement") and related ancillary agreements, pursuant to which
the Investors acquired certain membership interests in a newly formed tax equity
joint venture (the "Tax Equity JV") intended to qualify under the Internal
Revenue Service safe harbor described in Revenue Procedure 2020-12 for certain
joint ventures that are eligible to claim certain tax credits under Section 45Q
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 45Q Credits") that
may result from certain carbon oxide capture and sequestration activities
conducted at or in connection with CRNF's Coffeyville, Kansas facility
(collectively, the "45Q Transaction"). In connection with the 45Q Transaction,
CRNF received an initial payment, net of expenses, of approximately $18 million,
and is expected to also receive installment payments, payable quarterly, until
March 31, 2030, totaling up to approximately $22 million for the seven-year
period and potentially certain contingent payments over this same period if
certain carbon oxide capture and sequestration milestones are met, totaling up
to approximately $38 million. In the event that certain carbon oxide capture or
sequestration requirements are not met, CRNF and CapturePoint may be required to
pay certain specified damages payments to the Investors, up to the amount of
payments received by CRNF and CapturePoint in connection with the 45Q
Transaction, less the amount of Section 45Q Credits received by the Investors.
CapturePoint will serve as manager of the Tax Equity JV, and the Partnership and
CapturePoint are each obligated, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify
the Investors for certain customary and other specified matters, including for
breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants, certain tax
liabilities prior to the closing date, and for certain environmental and other
liabilities and third-party claims.
The foregoing summaries of the Transaction Agreement and LLC Agreement do not
purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
Transaction Agreement and LLC Agreement, as applicable, each of which will be
filed with the Partnership's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 2023.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Agreement and the LLC Agreement summarized in Item 1.01 above. A copy of the
press release announcing the signing of the Transaction Agreement and the LLC
Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by

Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. Statements
concerning current estimates, expectations and projections about future results,
performance, prospects, opportunities, plans, actions and events and other
statements, concerns, or matters that are not historical facts are
"forward-looking statements," as defined under federal securities laws. These
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding
the ability of the Tax Equity JV to realize the value of the Section 45Q Credits
and the timing and amount of payments to be received by CRNF pursuant to the 45Q
Transaction. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "continue," "could," "expect," "intend,"
"may," "might," "plan," "potential," or "will," or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements
are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond the Partnership's control, including, among others,
operational upsets or changes in laws that could impact the amount and receipt
of Section 45Q Credits and risks that are described in the Partnership's most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q and its other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. These risks
may cause the Partnership's actual results, performance or achievements to
differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties,
investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on
