Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On May 13, 2015, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) held its regular Tri-Annual Meeting (the “Meeting”) of its limited partners (“Unitholders”).

At the Meeting, the Unitholders re-elected to the Board of Supervisors, for a three-year term, all seven nominees proposed by the Board:


Nominee	For	Withheld

Harold R. Logan, Jr.	30,562,489	566,395
John Hoyt Stookey	30,490,345	638,539
John D. Collins	30,575,195	553,689
Jane Swift	30,476,855	652,029
Lawrence C. Caldwell	30,605,817	523,067
Matthew J. Chanin	30,597,274	531,610
Michael A. Stivala	30,616,561	512,323

At the Meeting, the Unitholders also approved the following proposals:

The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Partnership’s 2015 fiscal year:


For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
53,590,920	486,893	355,019	-0-

The approval of an amendment to the Partnership’s 2009 Restricted Unit Plan increasing by an additional 1,200,000 common units the number of common units of the Partnership authorized for awards under that Plan:


For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
28,543,681	2,046,902	538,301	23,303,948

The approval of an advisory resolution approving executive compensation (commonly referred to as “Say-on-Pay”):


For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
28,802,659	1,712,622	613,603	23,303,948

Because the Partnership’s partnership agreement provides for Tri-Annual Meetings of the Unitholders (once every 3 years), no proposal regarding the frequency of Say-on-Pay resolutions was presented to the Unitholders at the Meeting. The Partnership will, for so long as required by applicable law, include a Say-on-Pay proposal at each Tri-Annual Meeting.
