Item 8.01.  Other Items

 

As previously disclosed, U-Haul Co. of Pennsylvania (“UHPA”) was advised in April 2018 that it was the target of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania relating to the July 1, 2014 explosion of a 100-pound propane cylinder in use on a food truck, which cylinder was allegedly filled at a UHPA center.  On June 12, 2018 UHPA was indicted by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.  The six-count indictment charges UHPA with allegedly improperly filling propane cylinders that were overdue for periodic requalification; offering such cylinders for transportation; and failing to train and certify a UHPA employee dispensing propane. 

 

UHPA is evaluating the indictment and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations and charges.
