July 10 (Reuters) - Carl Icahn and banks have finalized amended loan agreements that untie Icahn's personal loans from the trading price of Icahn Enterprises, after a short-seller report in May flagged concerns, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
Icahn has agreed to increase his collateral and set up a plan to fully repay the loans in three years, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Icahn's company became the target of short-seller Hindenburg Research in May.
Among other concerns, Hindenburg flagged that Icahn had pledged more than 65% of his IEP stake as collateral for margin loans for "unspecified purposes."
