Explanation of Responses:
1. Of the 812,155 common units acquired by Mr. Prim, 671,202 were acquired by Mr. Prim on April 21, 2004 pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement dated February 8, 2004 between Mr. Prim and Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and the remaining 140,953 common units were acquired by Mr. Prim on April 21, 2004 pursuant to a Real Property Contribution Agreement dated February 8, 2004 between Mr. Prim and Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. All 812,155 common units were acquired by Mr. Prim prior to Mr. Prim's becoming an officer or director of the general partner of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P.
Remarks:
Mr. Prim's initial Form 3, as filed with the SEC on April 22, 2004, listed an incorrect date of April 20, 2004 as the "Date of Event Requiring Statement." The correct "Date of Event Requiring Statement," as reflected in this Amendment to Mr. Prim's initial Form 3, is April 21, 2004.
