By: via Business Wire

UGI Corporation (NYSE: UGI) announced today that its subsidiaries, AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“AmeriGas Partners”) and AmeriGas Finance Corp., (together with AmeriGas Partners, the “Offerors”) have received, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 27, 2025 (the “Expiration Time”), tenders from holders of $553,275,000 in aggregate principal amount (excluding tenders through guaranteed delivery procedures), representing approximately 83.3%, of the Offerors’ 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (CUSIP: 030981 AJ3) (the “2026 Notes”), in connection with its previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), which commenced on May 20, 2025 and is described in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 20, 2025, and the related Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (the “Offer Documents”).

The Offerors’ obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any 2026 Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, including the Offerors successful completion of one or more debt financing transactions, including potential debt securities offerings, in an amount sufficient, together with cash on hand and other sources of liquidity to (i) fund the purchase of validly tendered 2026 Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer and (ii) pay all related fees and expenses associated with the foregoing.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, the settlement date for the 2026 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Expiration Time or pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer is expected to occur on Friday, May 30, 2025 (the “Settlement Date”). 2026 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase will receive total consideration of $1,010 for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Settlement Date for such 2026 Notes accepted for purchase.

Substantially concurrently with the commencement of the Tender Offer, the Offerors issued a conditional notice of full redemption to redeem any 2026 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer and that remain outstanding pursuant to the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. Nothing in this announcement should be construed as a notice of redemption with respect to the 2026 Notes, as any redemption will be made pursuant to a notice of redemption in accordance with the indenture governing the 2026 Notes.

In connection with the Tender Offer, the Offerors have retained BofA Securities as the Dealer Manager. Questions regarding the Tender Offer should be directed to BofA Securities at debt_advisory@bofa.com Attn: Debt Advisory or by calling toll-free at 888-292-0070 or 980-387-2113 (international).

These documents are also available at www.dfking.com/ugi.

This announcement is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell with respect to any 2026 Notes. Any offer to purchase the 2026 Notes has been made by means of the Offer Documents. No offer to purchase will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer to purchase would be unlawful.
