Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On June 26, 2024, AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“AmeriGas Partners”) and AmeriGas Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp.” and, together with AmeriGas Partners, the “Issuers”), indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of UGI Corporation (the “Company”), announced the early tender results for the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for the Issuers’ 5.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). In connection with the foregoing, the Issuers have also increased the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes that they will accept for purchase from the previously announced amount of $450,000,000 to $475,000,000 (as amended herein, the “Tender Cap”).

 

The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated June 11, 2024 (as amended herein, the “Offer to Purchase”). The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. Except as specifically amended in the press release announcing the early results of, and upsize in, the Tender Offer all other terms of the Tender Offer as previously announced in the Offer to Purchase remain unchanged. A copy of the press release announcing the early results of, and upsize in, the Tender Offer is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

As of the previously announced early tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 25, 2024 (the “Early Tender Deadline”), according to information provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Tender Offer, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as set forth in the table below under “Principal Amount Tendered at Early Tender Deadline” has been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Early Tender Deadline.

 

Title of Security		CUSIP No.				Principal Amount Outstanding				Principal Amount Tendered at Early Tender Deadline				Aggregate Principal Amount Accepted for Purchase
5.500% Senior Notes due 2025			030981AK0			$	693,067,000			$	632,586,000			$	475,000,000

 

The Issuers have elected to exercise their right to make payment for the Notes that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Deadline and that are accepted for purchase on June 27, 2024 (the “Initial Settlement Date”).

 

The acceptance of tendered Notes was made in accordance with the Tender Offer terms as described in the Offer to Purchase. As the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Deadline exceeds the Tender Cap, any such tendered Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, subject to a proration factor of approximately 75.17%. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, any Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder’s account. Since the Tender Offer for the Notes is fully subscribed at the Early Tender Deadline, the Issuers will not accept for purchase any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.
