Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On July 30, 2013, the Board of Directors of UGI Corporation (the "Company"), upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, voted unanimously to amend and restate the Company’s Bylaws, effective July 30, 2013, to provide for a majority voting standard for uncontested elections of directors. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a director nominee shall be elected to the Company’s Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee at any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present exceed the votes cast against the nominee; provided, however, that if the number of director nominees at such meeting exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. In addition, an incumbent director will be required to tender his or her resignation if he or she does not receive a majority of the votes cast in favor of his or her election in an uncontested election of directors. The Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that the Corporate Governance Committee shall recommend to the Board of Directors whether or not to accept a director’s resignation and the Board shall have ninety days from the date of the shareholder meeting at which the election of directors occurred to determine whether to accept such resignation.

In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Bylaws, the Board of Directors also amended the Company’s Principles of Corporate Governance to include the changes described herein. The Company’s Principles of Corporate Governance, as amended, also require the Company to publicly disclose the Board of Directors’ decision, and rationale behind such decision, to accept, or not accept, a director’s resignation in the event the director did not receive a majority of the votes cast in his or her favor in an uncontested election.

The foregoing description of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
