UGI Corporation Senior Notes. In June 2024, UGI issued, in an underwritten private placement, an aggregate $700 principal amount of 5.00% UGI Corporation Senior Notes due June 2028. The UGI Corporation Senior Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with our existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2024, and will mature on June 1, 2028, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The net proceeds from the issuance of the UGI Corporation Senior Notes of approximately $682, after underwriters fees and other debt issuance costs, were used (1) to repay a portion of borrowings under the UGI Corporation Credit Facilities; (2) to make cash contribution of $315 to the Partnership to repay a portion of its 5.50% Senior Notes as described above; and (3) for general corporate purposes.

The UGI Corporation Senior Notes are convertible subject to the occurrence of certain events and circumstances. Before March 1, 2028, noteholders will have the right to convert their notes only upon the occurrence of certain events as follows:

1.During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024, if the market price of the Company’s common stock reaches 130% of the conversion price (initially $27.60) for a specified period of time;
2.The trading price of the Notes falls below 98% of the product of the sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate, for a specified period. The Company is not obligated to track the trading price of the notes unless a holder of the notes provides the Company reasonable evidence that the Notes are trading at 98% of the product of the sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate;
3.Upon the occurrence of specific corporate events related to specific types of distributions as defined in the Indenture; or
4.Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, Make Whole Fundamental Change or Common Stock Change Event as defined in the indenture

From and after March 1, 2028, holders of the UGI Corporation Senior Notes may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date.

As of June 30, 2024, none of the events permitting the noteholders to convert their notes early occurred. Accordingly, the UGI Corporation Senior Notes are classified as “Long-term debt” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2024.

Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the UGI Corporation Senior notes. For the remainder of the amount in excess of the aggregate principal amount, if applicable, the Company will have the sole right to elect the settlement method upon conversion which can be either entirely in cash or in a combination of cash and shares of its common stock. The default settlement method as defined in the agreement is a combination settlement with a specified dollar amount of $1,000 per $1,000 principal of the UGI Corporation Senior Notes, and any incremental value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion rate is 36.2319 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the UGI Corporation Senior Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $27.60 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

The Company may not redeem the UGI Corporation Senior Notes at its option before maturity.
