(a)
At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the effective interest rate on the HOLP Senior Secured Notes was 6.75%. These notes are collateralized by AmeriGas OLP’s receivables, contracts, equipment, inventory, general intangibles and cash.
(b)
Borrowings bear interest at rates per annum comprising the aggregate of the applicable margin and the associated euribor rate, which euribor rate has a floor of 0.0%. The margin on term loan borrowings (which ranges from 1.60% to 2.70%) is dependent upon the ratio of UGI France’s consolidated total net debt to EBITDA, each as defined. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, such margin was 1.75% and 1.90%, respectively. UGI France has entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps through April 30, 2019, to fix the underlying euribor rate on term loan borrowings at 0.18%. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the effective interest rate on the term loan was approximately 1.93% and 2.08%, respectively. Principal amounts outstanding under the term loan are due as follows: €60 due April 2019 and €480 due April 2020. This term loan was repaid on October 25, 2018, in conjunction with the UGI International refinancing transaction (see “Subsequent Event - UGI International Refinancing” below).
(c)
Borrowings bear interest at three-month euribor rates, plus a margin and other fees. The margin and other fees range from 1.20% to 2.60% and are based upon certain consolidated equity, return on assets and debt to EBITDA ratios, as defined, as well as fees defined by the local jurisdiction. Flaga has entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps that generally fix the underlying market rate at 0.23%, effective October 2016. The effective interest rate on this term loan at September 30, 2018 and 2017, was 1.93% and 1.80%, respectively. This term loan was repaid on October 25, 2018, in conjunction with the UGI International refinancing transaction (see “Subsequent Event - UGI International Refinancing” below).
(d)
Borrowings bear interest at a one-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.125%. Flaga has effectively fixed the LIBOR component of the interest rate, and has effectively fixed the U.S. dollar value of the interest and principal payments by entering into a cross-currency swap arrangement with a bank. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the effective interest rate on this term loan was 0.55% and 0.87%, respectively. This term loan was repaid on October 25, 2018, in conjunction with the UGI International refinancing transaction (see “Subsequent Event - UGI International Refinancing” below).
(e)
Borrowings bear interest at prevailing market interest rates, including LIBOR and the banks’ prime rate, plus a margin. UGI Utilities has entered into a forward-starting, pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap that generally fixes the underlying prevailing market interest rates on Utilities Term Loan borrowings at approximately 3.00% through July 2022, commencing September 30, 2019. The effective interest rate on this term loan at September 30, 2018, was 2.76%.

(a)
The AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement includes a $150 sublimit for letters of credit ($125 prior to its amendment in December 2017) and permits AmeriGas OLP to borrow at prevailing interest rates, including the base rate, defined as the higher of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the agent bank’s prime rate, or at a one-week, or one-, two-, three-, or six-month Eurodollar Rate, as defined, plus a margin. The applicable margin on base rate borrowings ranges from 0.50% to 1.75%; the applicable margin on Eurodollar Rate borrowings ranges from 1.50% to 2.75%; and the facility fee ranges from 0.30% to 0.50%. The aforementioned margins and facility fees are dependent upon AmeriGas Partners’ ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined.
(b)
The UGI International Credit Agreement permits UGI International, LLC to borrow in euros or U.S. dollars. Loans made in euros will bear interest at the associated euribor rate plus a margin ranging from 1.45% to 2.35%. Loans made in U.S. dollars will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.70% to 2.60%. The aforementioned margins are dependent upon certain indebtedness at UGI International, LLC. This facility was terminated concurrent with entering into the 2018 UGI International Credit Facilities Agreement on October 25, 2018 (see “Subsequent Event - UGI International Refinancing” below.)
(c)
Borrowings under UGI France’s revolving credit facility bear interest at market rates (one-, two-, three-, or six-month euribor) plus a margin. The margin on credit facility borrowings ranges from 1.45% to 2.55% based upon UGI France’s ratio of consolidated total net debt to EBITDA, as defined. This facility was terminated concurrent with entering into the 2018 UGI International Credit Facilities Agreement on October 25, 2018 (see “Subsequent Event - UGI International Refinancing” below.)
(d)
Flaga’s credit facility agreement includes a €25 multi-currency revolving credit facility, a €5 overdraft facility and a €25 guarantee facility. Revolving credit facility borrowings bear interest at market rates (generally one, three or six-month euribor rates) plus margins. The margins on revolving facility borrowings, which range from 1.45% to 3.65%, are based upon the actual currency borrowed and certain consolidated equity, return on assets and debt to EBITDA ratios, each as defined. Facility fees on the unused amount of the revolving credit facility are 30% of the lowest applicable margin. Guarantees outstanding reduce the available capacity on the €25 guarantee facility. This facility was terminated concurrent with entering into the 2018 UGI International Credit Facilities Agreement on October 25, 2018 (see “Subsequent Event - UGI International Refinancing” below.)
(e)
Energy Services’ credit agreement includes a $50 sublimit for letters of credit and can be used for general corporate purposes of Energy Services and its subsidiaries. Energy Services may not pay a dividend unless, after giving effect to such dividend payment, the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to EBITDA, each as defined, does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00. Borrowings bear interest at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin or (ii) a rate derived from LIBOR (“Adjusted LIBOR”) plus a margin. The Alternate Base Rate, as defined, is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%. The margin on such borrowings ranges from 0.75% to 2.25%. The Energy Services credit agreement is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Energy Services.
(f)
UGI Utilities’ credit agreement includes a $100 sublimit for letters of credit. Borrowings bear interest at prevailing market interest rates, including LIBOR and the banks’ prime rate, plus a margin. The margin on such borrowings ranges from 0.0% to 1.75% and is based upon the credit ratings of certain indebtedness of UGI Utilities. On September 21, 2018, UGI Utilities entered into the Commitment and Acceptance which increased the total capacity under this facility to $450.
