Senior Notes Issued by UGI International, LLC

On December 7, 2021, UGI International, LLC (“International”), a wholly owned subsidiary of UGI Corporation (the “Company”), issued €400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 7, 2021, among International, the guarantors named therein, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, Elavon Financial Services DAC, as registrar and transfer agent, and Elavon Financial Services DAC, UK Branch, as paying agent (the “Indenture”). The Notes will pay cash interest semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2022. The Notes were issued in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Optional Redemption Provisions and Change of Control Triggering Event Repurchase Right

At any time prior to December 1, 2024, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Notes will be redeemable at International’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus a make-whole premium as set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the applicable redemption date. Beginning December 1, 2024, International may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, subject to the payment of a redemption price together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the applicable redemption date. The redemption price includes a call premium that declines (from 1.250% to 0.000%) depending on the year of redemption.

In addition, at any time prior to December 1, 2024, the Issuer may redeem up to 40.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 102.500% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the applicable redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings by International or any direct or indirect parent of International (including the Company).

International or a third party has the right to redeem the Notes at 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of redemption following the consummation of a change of control triggering event, as defined in the Indenture, if at least 90% of the Notes outstanding prior to such date of purchase are purchased pursuant to a change of control offer with respect to such change of control triggering event. The holders of the Notes will also have the right to require International to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event at an offer price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of repurchase.

Ranking

The Notes are International’s and the guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations. The Notes are guaranteed by all of International’s restricted subsidiaries that are borrowers under or that guarantee International’s obligations under the unsecured multicurrency facilities agreement (as amended, restated or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of October 18, 2018 (effective October 25, 2018), among International, as borrower, UGI France SAS, Flaga GmbH, Antargaz SAS, and Avanti Gas Limited, Natixis, as agent, mandated lead arranger, bookrunner and coordinator and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. The note guarantees will be the senior unsecured obligations of each such guarantor. Under certain circumstances, the guarantors may be released from their note guarantees without consent of the holders of Notes. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of International’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and rank contractually senior in right of payment to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ future indebtedness and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes are effectively subordinated to International’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness. The Notes and guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities (including trade payables) of International’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

Restrictive Covenants

The Indenture contains covenants that limit International’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or



redeem its capital stock; (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; (iv) issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities; (v) make loans and investments; (vi) sell assets; (vii) incur liens; (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates; (ix) enter into agreements restricting its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and (x) amalgamate, merge, divide, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The indenture also contains customary events of default.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture. A copy of the Indenture is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Use of Proceeds

International used the net proceeds of the issuance of the Notes to redeem all of its outstanding 3.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Offering, and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes and/or be distributed to the Company.
