UGI Utilities 2011 Credit Agreement
On May 25, 2011, UGI Utilities entered into an unsecured, revolving credit agreement (the “2011 Credit Agreement”) with a group of banks providing for borrowings up to $300,000 (including a $100,000 sublimit for letters of credit). Concurrently with entering into the 2011 Credit Agreement, UGI Utilities terminated its then-existing $350,000 revolving credit agreement dated as of August 11, 2006. Under the 2011 Credit Agreement, UGI Utilities may borrow at various prevailing market interest rates, including LIBOR and the banks’ prime rate, plus a margin. The margin on such borrowings ranges from 0.0% to 2.0% and is based upon the credit ratings of certain indebtedness of UGI Utilities. The 2011 Credit Agreement requires UGI Utilities not to exceed a ratio of Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined, of 0.65 to 1.00. This 2011 Credit Agreement is currently scheduled to expire in May 2012, but may be extended by UGI Utilities to October 2015 if on or before May 23, 2012, the Company satisfies certain requirements relating to approval by the PUC. The Company is in the process of seeking such regulatory approval.
