Note 1 — Nature of Operations

AmeriGas Partners is a publicly traded limited partnership that conducts a national propane distribution business through its principal operating subsidiary, AmeriGas OLP. AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP are Delaware limited partnerships. AmeriGas Partners, AmeriGas OLP and all of their subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the Partnership.

AmeriGas OLP is engaged in the distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies. AmeriGas OLP comprises the largest retail propane distribution business in the United States serving residential, commercial, industrial, motor fuel and agricultural customers in all 50 states.

At March 31, 2019, the General Partner, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UGI, held a 1% general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners and a 1.01% general partner interest in AmeriGas OLP. The General Partner also owns AmeriGas Partners Common Units. The remaining Common Units outstanding represents publicly held Common Units. AmeriGas Partners holds a 98.99% limited partner interest in AmeriGas OLP.

AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP have no employees. Employees of the General Partner conduct, direct and manage our operations. The General Partner is reimbursed monthly for all direct and indirect expenses it incurs on our behalf (see Note 9).

Proposed Merger

On April 1, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, each outstanding Common Unit other than Common Units owned by UGI and its subsidiaries, including the General Partner, will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each holder of such Common Units, one of the following forms of merger consideration:

(i)0.6378 shares of UGI common stock (such election, a "Share Election," such ratio of shares of UGI common stock received per Common Unit, the "Share Election Exchange Ratio");
(ii)$7.63 in cash, without interest, and 0.500 shares of UGI common stock (such election, a "Mixed Election," such ratio of shares of UGI common stock received per Common Unit, the "Mixed Election Exchange Ratio"); or
(iii)$35.325 in cash, without interest (such election, a "Cash Election").

The merger consideration is subject to proration designed to ensure that the total number of shares of UGI common stock issuable as merger consideration will equal approximately 34.6 million shares, and the amount of cash consideration paid will equal approximately $530,000. Also, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, the General Partner’s 1% economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners, which includes its incentive distribution rights, will convert into (i) 10,615,711 Common Units, which will remain outstanding as partnership interests in AmeriGas Partners, and (ii) a non-economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners.

Completion of the Proposed Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Units; (ii) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement; (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the issuance of shares of UGI common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (iv) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of UGI common stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (v) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the other party; and (vi) compliance by the respective parties in all material respects with their respective covenants.

Upon completion of the Proposed Merger, Common Units will no longer be publicly traded. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Partnership’s unitholders, the Proposed Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019.

See Note 10 for further information on the Proposed Merger.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. They include all adjustments which we consider necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise disclosed. The September 30, 2018, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s 2018 Annual Report. Weather significantly impacts demand for propane and profitability because many customers use propane for heating purposes. Due to the seasonal nature of the Partnership’s propane business, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmeriGas Partners, its majority-owned subsidiary AmeriGas OLP, and its 100%-owned finance subsidiaries AmeriGas Finance Corp., AmeriGas Eagle Finance Corp., AP Eagle Finance Corp., and AmeriGas Finance LLC. AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP are under the common control of the General Partner. The General Partner of AmeriGas OLP, which is also the General Partner of AmeriGas Partners, makes all decisions for AmeriGas OLP; limited partners of AmeriGas OLP do not have the ability to remove the General Partner or participate in the decision-making for AmeriGas OLP. The accounts of AmeriGas OLP are included based upon the determination that AmeriGas Partners has a controlling financial interest in and is the primary beneficiary of AmeriGas OLP. We eliminate intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate.

Revenue Recognition. Effective October 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which, as amended, is included in ASC 606. This new accounting guidance supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605. ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Partnership adopted this new accounting guidance using the modified retrospective transition method to those contracts which were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Periods prior to October 1, 2018, have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605. Upon adoption, there were no cumulative effect adjustments made to the October 1, 2018, partners’ capital balances. The adoption of ASC 606 did not, and is not expected to, have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition and on our consolidated net income, cash flows or financial position.

Certain revenues are not within the scope of ASC 606 such as revenue from leases, financial instruments, other revenues that are not from contracts with customers, and other contractual rights or obligations and we account for such revenues in accordance with other GAAP. Revenue-related taxes collected on behalf of customers and remitted to taxing authorities, principally sales and use taxes, are not included in revenues. The Partnership has elected to use the practical expedient to expense the costs to obtain contracts when incurred as such amounts are generally not material.

See Note 4 for additional disclosures regarding the Partnership’s revenue from contracts with customers.

Allocation of Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. for partners’ capital and statement of operations presentation purposes is allocated to the General Partner and the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages after giving effect to amounts distributed to the General Partner in excess of its 1% general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners based on its IDRs under the Partnership Agreement.

Income (Loss) Per Unit. Income (loss) per limited partner unit is computed in accordance with GAAP regarding the application of the two-class method for determining income (loss) per unit for MLPs when IDRs are present. The two-class method requires that income per limited partner unit be calculated as if all earnings for the period were distributed and requires a separate calculation for each quarter and year-to-date period. In periods when our net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners exceeds our Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and is above certain levels, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an increased allocation of undistributed earnings to the General Partner. Generally, in periods when our Available Cash in respect of the quarter or year-to-date periods exceeds our net income (loss) attributable to AmeriGas Partners, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an allocation of earnings to the General Partner greater than its relative ownership interest in the Partnership (or in the case of a net loss attributable to AmeriGas Partners, an allocation of such net loss to the Common Unitholders greater than their relative ownership interest in the Partnership).

Theoretical distributions of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. in accordance with the two-class method resulted in an increased allocation of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. to the General Partner in the computation of income per limited partner unit which had the effect of decreasing earnings per limited partner unit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, by $0.62 and $0.48, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, by $0.32 and $0.49, respectively

Potentially dilutive Common Units included in the diluted limited partner units outstanding computation reflect the effects of restricted Common Unit awards granted under the General Partner’s incentive compensation plans.

Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values, unless the NPNS exception is elected. The accounting for changes in fair value depends upon the purpose of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies and is designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. We do not currently have derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments are reflected in “Cost of sales — propane” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from commodity derivative instruments are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

For a more detailed description of the derivative instruments we use, our accounting for derivatives, our objectives for using them and other information, see Note 8.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and costs. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may be different from these estimates and assumptions.

Reclassifications. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.

Note 3 — Accounting Changes
New Accounting Standards Adopted Effective October 1, 2018

Revenue Recognition. Effective October 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted new accounting guidance regarding revenue recognition. See Notes 2 and 4 for a detailed description of the impact of the new guidance and related disclosures.

Cloud Computing Implementation Costs. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The new guidance requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project. These deferred implementation costs are expensed over the fixed, noncancelable term of the service arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. The new guidance also requires the entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same income statement line as the hosting service fees; to classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments for hosting service fees; and to present the capitalized implementation costs in the balance sheet in the same line item in which prepaid hosting service fees are presented. The new guidance can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We adopted this ASU effective October 1, 2018, and applied the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts incurred beginning October 1, 2018. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Fair Value Measurements Disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning October 1, 2020 (Fiscal 2021). The guidance regarding removing and modifying disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the guidance regarding new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statement disclosures from the adoption of the new guidance and determining the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU amends and simplifies existing guidance to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Partnership for interim and annual periods beginning October 1, 2019 (Fiscal 2020). Early adoption is permitted. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the guidance requires a modified retrospective approach. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required prospectively. The Partnership is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance and determining the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." This ASU, as subsequently updated, amends existing guidance to require entities that lease assets to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Partnership for interim and annual periods beginning October 1, 2019 (Fiscal 2020). Early adoption is permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements unless an entity chooses the transition option in ASU 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements” which, among other things, provides entities with a transition option to recognize the cumulative-effect adjustment from the modified retrospective application to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We will adopt ASU No. 2016-02, as updated, effective October 1, 2019 and expect to elect the transition option which would allow the Partnership to maintain historical presentation for periods before October 1, 2019. The Partnership has completed a preliminary assessment for evaluating the impact of the guidance and anticipates that its adoption will result in a significant amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases in effect at the adoption date. The Partnership has begun implementation activities including accumulating contracts and lease data in formats compatible with a new lease management system that will assist with the initial adoption and future reporting required by the standard.

Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Partnership generally has the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer for our performance completed to date. As such, we elected to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice.
We do not have a significant financing component in our contracts because we receive payment shortly before, at, or shortly after the transfer of control of the good or service. Because the period between the time the performance obligation is satisfied and payment received is one year or less, the Partnership has elected to apply the significant financing component practical expedient and no amount of consideration has been allocated as a financing component.
The Partnership records revenue principally from the sale of propane to retail and wholesale customers. The primary performance obligation associated with the sale of propane is the delivery of propane to (1) the customer’s point of delivery for retail customers and (2) the customer’s specified location where propane is picked up by wholesale customers, at which point control of the propane is transferred to the customer, the performance obligation is satisfied, and the associated revenue is recognized. For contracts with retail customers that consume propane from a metered tank, the Partnership recognizes revenue as the propane is consumed, at which point we have the right to invoice, and generally invoice monthly based on consumption.
Contracts with customers comprise different types of contracts with varying length terms, fixed or variable prices, and fixed or variable quantities. Contracts with our residential customers, which comprise a substantial number of our customer contracts, are generally one year or less. Customer contracts for the sale of propane include fixed-price, fixed-quantity contracts under which propane is provided to a customer at a fixed price and a fixed volume, and contracts that provide for the sale of propane at market prices at date of delivery with no fixed volumes. The Partnership offers contracts that permit the customer to lock in a fixed price for their volumes for a fee and also provide the customer with the option to pre-buy a fixed amount of propane at a fixed price. Amounts received under pre-buy arrangements are recorded as a contract liability when received and recorded as revenue when propane is delivered and control is transferred to the customer. Fees associated with fixed-price contracts are recorded as contract liabilities and recorded ratably over the contract period.

(Thousands of dollars, except per unit amounts and where indicated otherwise)

The Partnership also distributes propane to customers in portable cylinders. Under certain contracts, filled cylinders are delivered, and control is transferred, to a reseller. In such instances, the reseller is our customer and we record revenue upon delivery to the reseller. Under other contracts, filled cylinders are delivered to a reseller, but the Partnership retains control of the cylinders. In such instances, we record revenue at the time the reseller transfers control of the cylinder to the customer.
Certain retail propane customers receive credits which we account for as variable consideration. We estimate these credits based upon past practices and historical customer experience and we reduce our revenues recognized for these credits.
Other revenues from contracts with customers are generated primarily from certain fees the Partnership charges associated with the delivery of propane including hazmat safety compliance, inspection, metering, installation, fuel recovery and certain other services. Revenues from fees are typically recorded when the propane is delivered to the customer or the associated service is completed. Other revenues from contracts with customers are also generated from the Partnership’s parts and service business. The performance obligations of this business include installation and repair services. The performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, and revenue is recognized, as control of the product is transferred or the services are rendered.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers or cash receipts. Contract assets represent the Partnership’s right to consideration after the performance obligations have been satisfied when such right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets were not material at March 31, 2019. Substantially all of the Partnership’s receivables are unconditional rights to consideration and are included in “Accounts receivable” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts billed are generally due within the following month.
Contract liabilities arise when payment from a customer is received before the performance obligations have been satisfied and represent the Partnership’s obligations to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Partnership has received consideration from the customer. The balances of contract liabilities were $41,491 and $93,393 at March 31, 2019 and October 1, 2018, respectively, and are included in “Customer deposits and advances” and “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenue recognized for the six months ended March 31, 2019, from the amount included in contract liabilities at October 1, 2018 was $68,968.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

Saranac Lake Environmental Matter. In 2008, the NYDEC notified AmeriGas OLP that the NYDEC had placed property purportedly owned by AmeriGas OLP in Saranac Lake, New York on the New York State Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites. A site characterization study performed by the NYDEC disclosed contamination related to a former MGP. AmeriGas OLP responded to the NYDEC in 2009 to dispute the contention it was a PRP as it did not operate the MGP and appeared to only own a portion of the site. In 2017, the NYDEC communicated to AmeriGas OLP that the NYDEC had previously issued three RODs related to remediation of the site totaling approximately $27,700 and requested additional information regarding AmeriGas OLP’s purported ownership. AmeriGas renewed its challenge to designation as a PRP and identified potential defenses. The NYDEC subsequently identified a third party PRP with respect to the site.

The NYDEC commenced implementation of the remediation plan in the spring of 2018. Based on our evaluation of the available information, the Partnership accrued an undiscounted environmental remediation liability of $7,545 related to the site during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017. Our share of the actual remediation costs could be significantly more or less than the accrued amount.

Purported Class Action Lawsuits. Between May and October of 2014, purported class action lawsuits were filed in multiple jurisdictions against the Partnership/UGI and a competitor by certain of their direct and indirect customers.  The class action lawsuits allege, among other things, that the Partnership and its competitor colluded, beginning in 2008, to reduce the fill level of portable propane cylinders from 17 pounds to 15 pounds and combined to persuade their common customer, Walmart Stores, Inc., to accept that fill reduction, resulting in increased cylinder costs to retailers and end-user customers in violation of federal and certain state antitrust laws.  The claims seek treble damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs on behalf of the putative classes. 

On October 16, 2014, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred all of these purported class action cases to the Western Missouri District Court.  As the result of rulings on a series of procedural filings, including petitions filed with the Eighth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, both the federal and state law claims of the direct customer plaintiffs and the

state law claims of the indirect customer plaintiffs were remanded to the Western Missouri District Court. The decision of the Western Missouri District Court to dismiss the federal antitrust claims of the indirect customer plaintiffs was upheld by the Eighth Circuit. On April 15, 2019, the Western Missouri District Court ruled that it has jurisdiction over the indirect purchasers’ state law claims and that the indirect customer plaintiffs have standing to pursue those claims.
  
We are unable to reasonably estimate the impact, if any, arising from such litigation. We believe we have strong defenses to the claims and intend to vigorously defend against them.

In addition to the matters described above, there are other pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of our businesses. Although we cannot predict the final results of these pending claims and legal actions, we believe, after consultation with counsel, that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

The fair values of our non-exchange traded commodity derivative contracts included in Level 2 are based upon indicative price quotations available through brokers, industry price publications or recent market transactions and related market indicators.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (except for current maturities of long-term debt) approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. We estimate the fair value of long-term debt by using current market rates and by discounting future cash flows using rates available for similar type debt (Level 2). The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities but excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) at March 31, 2019, September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:

Financial instruments other than derivative instruments, such as short-term investments and trade accounts receivable, could expose us to concentrations of credit risk. We limit credit risk from short-term investments by investing only in investment-grade commercial paper, money market mutual funds, securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and FDIC insured bank deposits. The credit risk arising from concentrations of trade accounts receivable is limited because we have a large customer base that extends across many different U.S. markets.

Note 8 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Partnership is exposed to certain market risks associated with its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, among other things, to manage these risks. The primary risk managed by derivative instruments is commodity price risk. Although we use derivative financial and commodity instruments to reduce market risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not use derivative financial and commodity instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The use of derivative instruments is controlled by our risk management and credit policies which govern, among other things, the derivative instruments the Partnership can use, counterparty credit limits and contract authorization limits. Although our commodity derivative instruments extend over a number of years, a significant portion of our commodity derivative instruments economically hedge commodity price risk during the next twelve months.

Commodity Price Risk

In order to manage market risk associated with the Partnership’s fixed-price programs, the Partnership uses over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments, principally price swap contracts, to reduce propane price volatility associated with a portion of forecasted propane purchases. In addition, the Partnership from time to time enters into price swap agreements to reduce the effects of short term commodity price volatility. At March 31, 2019, September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, total volumes associated with propane commodity derivatives totaled 177.3 million gallons, 244.8 million gallons and 151.4 million gallons, respectively. At March 31, 2019, the maximum period over which we are economically hedging propane market price risk is 24 months.

Derivative Instruments Credit Risk

The Partnership is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial and commodity instruments. Our counterparties principally comprise major energy companies and major U.S. financial institutions. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe reduce overall credit risk. These policies include evaluating and monitoring our counterparties’ financial condition, including their credit ratings, and entering into agreements with counterparties that govern credit limits. Certain of these agreements call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or by the Partnership in the forms of letters of credit, parental guarantees or cash. Although we have concentrations of credit risk associated with derivative instruments held by certain derivative instrument counterparties, the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based upon the gross fair values of the derivative instruments, we would incur if these counterparties that make up the concentration failed to perform according to the terms of their contracts was not material at March 31, 2019. Certain of our derivative contracts have credit-risk-related contingent features that may require the posting of additional collateral in the event of a downgrade in the Partnership’s debt rating. At March 31, 2019, if the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the amount of collateral required to be posted would not be material.

Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivative assets and liabilities are presented net by counterparty on the Consolidated Balance Sheets if the right of offset exists. Our derivative instruments comprise over-the-counter transactions. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Certain over-the-counter contracts contain contractual rights of offset through master netting arrangements and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of offset through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency, or other conditions.
In general, most of our over-the-counter transactions are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral generally include cash or letters of credit. Cash collateral paid by us to our over-the-counter derivative counterparties, if any, is reflected in the table below to offset derivative liabilities. Cash collateral received by us from our over-the-counter derivative counterparties, if any, is reflected in the table below to offset derivative assets. Certain other accounts receivable and accounts payable balances recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with our derivative counterparties are not included in the table below but could reduce our net exposure to such counterparties because such balances are subject to master netting or similar arrangements.

We are also a party to a number of contracts that have elements of a derivative instrument. These contracts include, among others, binding purchase orders, contracts that provide for the purchase and delivery of propane and service contracts that require the counterparty to provide commodity storage or transportation service to meet our normal sales commitments. Although certain of these contracts have the requisite elements of a derivative instrument, these contracts qualify for NPNS accounting under GAAP because they provide for the delivery of products or services in quantities that are expected to be used in the normal course of operating our business and the price in the contract is based on an underlying that is directly associated with the price of the product or service being purchased or sold.

Note 9 — Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and a management services agreement, the General Partner is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses incurred or payments it makes on behalf of the Partnership. These costs, which totaled $156,918 and $157,113 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $308,965 and $304,400 for the six months

ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, include employee compensation and benefit expenses of employees of the General Partner and general and administrative expenses.

UGI provides certain financial and administrative services to the General Partner. UGI bills the General Partner monthly for all direct and indirect corporate expenses incurred in connection with providing these services and the General Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership for these expenses. The allocation of indirect UGI corporate expenses to the Partnership utilizes a weighted, three-component formula based on the relative percentage of the Partnership’s revenues, operating expenses and net assets employed to the total of such items for all UGI operating subsidiaries for which general and administrative services are provided. The General Partner believes that this allocation method is reasonable and equitable to the Partnership. Such corporate expenses totaled $5,037 and $4,305 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $8,980 and $8,018 for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, UGI and certain of its subsidiaries provide office space, stop loss medical coverage and automobile liability insurance to the Partnership. The costs incurred related to these items during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, were not material.

From time to time, AmeriGas OLP purchases propane on an as needed basis from Energy Services. The price of the purchases is generally based on market price at the time of purchase. Purchases of propane by AmeriGas OLP from Energy Services during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were not material.

In addition, the AmeriGas OLP sells propane to affiliates of UGI. Sales of propane to affiliates of UGI during three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were not material.
UGI Standby Commitment to Purchase AmeriGas Partners Class B Common Units
On November 7, 2017, AmeriGas Partners entered into a Standby Equity Commitment Agreement with the General Partner and UGI. Under the terms of the Standby Equity Commitment Agreement, UGI has committed to make up to $225,000 of capital contributions to the Partnership through July 1, 2019. UGI’s capital contributions may be made from time to time through July 1, 2019. There have been no capital contributions made to the Partnership under the Commitment Agreement, and the last date on which AmeriGas Partners may request a capital contribution, without the consent of UGI, is May 17, 2019.
In consideration for any capital contributions pursuant to the Commitment Agreement, the Partnership will issue to UGI or a wholly owned subsidiary new Class B Common Units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. The Class B Common Units will be issued at a price per unit equal to the 20-day volume-weighted average price of the Partnership’s Common Units prior to the date of the Partnership’s related capital call. The Class B Common Units will be entitled to cumulative quarterly distributions at a rate equal to the annualized Common Units yield at the time of the applicable capital call, plus 130 basis points. The Partnership may choose to make the distributions in cash or in kind in the form of additional Class B Common Units. While outstanding, the Class B Common Units will not be subject to any incentive distributions from the Partnership.
Generally, at any time after five years from the initial issuance of the Class B Common Units, holders may elect to convert all or any portion of the Class B Common Units they own into Common Units on a one-for-one basis and at any time after six years from the initial issuance of the Class B Common Units, subject to certain conditions, the Partnership may elect to convert all or any portion of the Class B Common Units into Common Units.

Note 10 — Proposed Merger

On April 1, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, each outstanding Common Unit other than Common Units owned by UGI and its subsidiaries, including the General Partner, will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each holder of such Common Units, one of the following forms of merger consideration:

(i)0.6378 shares of UGI common stock;
(ii)$7.63 in cash, without interest, and 0.500 shares of UGI common stock; or
(iii)$35.325 in cash, without interest.

(unaudited)
(Thousands of dollars, except per unit amounts and where indicated otherwise)

The merger consideration is subject to proration designed to ensure that the total number of shares of UGI common stock issuable as merger consideration will equal approximately 34.6 million shares, and the amount of cash consideration paid will equal approximately $530,000. Also, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, the General Partner’s 1% economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners, which includes its incentive distribution rights, will convert into (i) 10,615,711 Common Units, which will remain outstanding as partnership interests in AmeriGas Partners, and (ii) a non-economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the General Partner will declare and cause to pay regular quarterly cash distributions on outstanding Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement in an amount that will not be less than $0.95 per Common Unit. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires that the record date for the quarterly cash distribution related to the quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the closing of the Proposed Merger occurs be designated so that such record date precedes the closing of the Proposed Merger so as to permit the payment of such quarterly distribution to the holders of the Common Units; provided that the AmeriGas Partners’ unitholders are not intended to receive, for any quarter, distributions both in respect of Common Units and also dividends in respect of shares of UGI common stock that they receive in exchange for such Common Units in the transaction.

Completion of the Proposed Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Units; (ii) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement; (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the issuance of shares of UGI common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (iv) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of UGI common stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (v) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the other party; and (vi) compliance by the respective parties in all material respects with their respective covenants.

Pursuant to a Support Agreement, the General Partner has agreed to vote all Partnership Common Units that it or its affiliates beneficially own as of the record date of the Special Meeting in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Proposed Merger.

The Merger Agreement provides for certain termination rights for both UGI and the Partnership which, under certain circumstances, would require the Partnership to pay UGI a termination fee of $20,000 and/or reimburse UGI for expenses in an amount not to exceed $5,000 or require UGI to reimburse the Partnership for expenses not to exceed $5,000.

Upon completion of the Proposed Merger, Common Units will no longer be publicly traded. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by AmeriGas Partners’ unitholders, the Proposed Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019. On May 6, 2019, UGI filed with the SEC its registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Proposed Merger.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements use forward-looking words such as “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” or other similar words. These statements discuss plans, strategies, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future.

A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. We believe that we have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, we caution you that actual results almost always vary from assumed facts or bases, and the differences between actual results and assumed facts or bases can be material, depending on the circumstances. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the following important factors that could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements: (1) adverse weather conditions resulting in reduced demand; (2) cost volatility and availability of propane, and the capacity to transport propane to our customers; (3) the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisition or combination opportunities; (4) successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses and achievement of anticipated synergies; (5) changes in laws and regulations, including safety, tax, consumer protection, environmental, and accounting matters; (6) competitive pressures from the same and alternative energy sources; (7) failure to acquire new customers and retain current customers thereby reducing or limiting any increase in revenues; (8) liability for environmental claims; (9) increased customer conservation measures due to high energy prices and improvements in energy efficiency and technology resulting in reduced demand; (10) adverse labor relations; (11) customer, counterparty, supplier, or vendor defaults; (12) liability for uninsured claims and for claims in excess of insurance coverage, including those for personal injury and property damage arising from explosions, terrorism, and other catastrophic events that may result from operating hazards and risks incidental to transporting, storing and distributing propane, butane and ammonia; (13) political, regulatory and economic conditions in the United States and foreign countries; (14) capital market conditions, including reduced access to capital markets and interest rate fluctuations; (15) changes in commodity market prices resulting in significantly higher cash collateral requirements; (16) the impact of pending and future legal proceedings; (17) the availability, timing, and success of our acquisitions and investments to grow our business; (18) the interruption, disruption, failure, malfunction, or breach of our information technology systems, including due to cyber attack; (19) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Merger; (20) the possible diversion of management time on issues related to the Proposed Merger; (21) the risk that the requisite approvals to complete the Proposed Merger are not obtained; and (22) the potential need to address any reviews, investigations or other proceedings by governmental authorities or shareholder actions.

These factors, and those factors set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q and the Partnership’s 2018 Annual Report, are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information or future events except as required by the federal securities laws.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal 2019 and 2018 Quarterly Results

The following analyses compares the Partnership’s results of operations for the 2019 three-month period with the 2018 three-month period, and the 2019 six-month period with the 2018 six-month period.
Our results are significantly influenced by temperatures in our service territories particularly during the heating season months of October through March. As a result, our operating results, after adjusting for the effects of gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions as further discussed below, are significantly higher in our first and second fiscal quarters.

AmeriGas Partners does not designate its propane commodity derivative instruments as hedges under GAAP. As a result, volatility in net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners as determined in accordance with GAAP can occur as gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions, principally comprising non-cash changes in unrealized gains and losses, are reflected in cost of sales.

Table of Contents



AmeriGas Partners’ management presents the non-GAAP measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” “adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners,” “adjusted total margin,” and “adjusted operating income” (in addition to “net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners” determined in accordance with GAAP) in order to assist in the evaluation of the Partnership’s overall performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to investors about AmeriGas Partners’ performance because they eliminate the impact of (1) changes in unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and (2) certain other gains and losses that competitors do not necessarily have, to provide additional insight into the comparison of year-over-year profitability to that of other master limited partnerships. For additional information on these non-GAAP measures as well as the non-GAAP measure, “EBITDA,” including reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most closely associated GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Proposed Merger
On April 1, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, each outstanding Common Unit other than Common Units owned by UGI and its subsidiaries, including the General Partner, will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each holder of such Common Units, one of the following forms of merger consideration:

(i) 0.6378 shares of UGI common stock;
(ii) $7.63 in cash without interest, and 0.500 shares of UGI common stock; or
(iii) $35.325 in cash, without interest

The merger consideration is subject to proration designed to ensure that the total number of shares of UGI common stock issuable as merger consideration will equal approximately 34.6 million shares, and the amount of cash consideration paid will equal approximately $530 million. Also, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, the General Partner’s 1% economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners, which includes its incentive distribution rights, will convert into (i) 10,615,711 Common Units, which will remain outstanding as partnership interests in AmeriGas Partners, and (ii) a non-economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the General Partner will declare and cause to pay regular quarterly cash distributions on outstanding Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement in an amount that will not be less than $0.95 per Common Unit. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires that the record date for the quarterly cash distribution related to the quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the closing of the Proposed Merger occurs be designated so that such record date precedes the closing of the Proposed Merger so as to permit the payment of such quarterly distribution to the holders of the Common Units; provided that the AmeriGas Partners’ unitholders are not intended to receive, for any quarter, distributions both in respect of Common Units and also dividends in respect of shares of UGI common stock that they receive in exchange for such Common Units in the transaction.

Completion of the Proposed Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Units; (ii) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement; (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the issuance of shares of UGI common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (iv) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of UGI common stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (v) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the other party; and (vi) compliance by the respective parties in all material respects with their respective covenants.
Pursuant to a Support Agreement, the General Partner has agreed to vote all Partnership Common Units that it or its affiliates beneficially own as of the record date of the Special Meeting in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Proposed Merger.
The Merger Agreement provides for certain termination rights for both UGI and the Partnership which, under certain circumstances, would require the Partnership to pay UGI a termination fee of $20 million and/or reimburse UGI for expenses in an amount not to exceed $5 million or require UGI to reimburse the Partnership for expenses not to exceed $5 million.

Upon completion of the Proposed Merger, Common Units will no longer be publicly traded. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by AmeriGas Partners’ unitholders, the Proposed Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019. On May 6, 2019, UGI filed with the SEC its registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Proposed Merger.

Executive Overview

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

We recorded GAAP net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2019 three-month period of $219.1 million compared to GAAP net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2018 three-month period of $191.8 million. GAAP net income in the 2019 and 2018 three-month periods reflects the effects of net unrealized gains (losses) of $17.1 million and $(31.2) million, respectively, on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions. GAAP net income in the 2019 three-month period also includes $0.9 million of expenses associated with the Proposed Merger.

Adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2019 three-month period was $203.1 million compared with adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2018 three-month period of $222.7 million. The decrease in adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners principally reflects a $20.2 million decrease in adjusted total margin on lower retail volumes sold and lower average retail propane unit margins. The decrease in adjusted total margin was partially offset by, among other things, slightly lower operating and administrative expenses. Average temperatures based upon heating degree days in our service territories were 4.4% colder than normal during the 2019 three-month period compared with average temperatures that were 0.5% warmer than normal during the 2018 three-month period. Although average temperatures during the 2019 three-month period across our entire service territory were colder than normal, we experienced significantly warmer than normal weather in the southeastern U.S. during January and February.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2019

We recorded GAAP net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2019 six-month period of $263.6 million compared to GAAP net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2018 six-month period of $296.2 million. GAAP net income in the 2019 and 2018 six-month periods reflect the effects of net unrealized losses of $61.4 million and $30.4 million, respectively, on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions. GAAP net income in the 2019 six-month period also includes $0.9 million of expenses associated with the Proposed Merger.

Adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2019 six-month period was $325.3 million compared with adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the 2018 six-month period of $326.4 million. The $1.1 million decrease in adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners reflects slightly higher operating and administrative expenses partially offset by, among other things, slightly higher adjusted total margin. Average temperatures based upon heating degree days in our service territories were 4.6% colder than normal during the 2019 six-month period compared with average temperatures that were 0.9% warmer than normal during the prior-year period. Although average temperatures during the 2019 six-month period across our entire service territory were colder than normal, we experienced significantly warmer than normal weather in the southeastern U.S. during January and February.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Partnership’s management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted total margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, when evaluating the Partnership’s overall performance. These financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures.
Management believes EBITDA as adjusted for the effects of gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and other gains and losses that competitors do not necessarily have (Adjusted EBITDA), is a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure used by investors to (1) compare the Partnership’s operating performance with that of other companies within the propane industry and (2) assess the Partnership’s ability to meet loan covenants. The Partnership’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from those used by other companies. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to compare year-over-year profitability of the business without regard to capital structure as well as to compare the relative performance of the Partnership to that of other master limited partnerships without regard to their financing methods, capital structure, income taxes, the effects of gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions or historical cost basis. In view of the omission of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and other gains and losses that competitors do not necessarily have from Adjusted EBITDA, management also assesses the profitability of the business by comparing net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners for the relevant periods. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the Partnership’s profitability because its parent, UGI, uses the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA to assess the profitability of the Partnership which is one of UGI’s reportable segments. UGI discloses the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA in its disclosure about reportable segments as the profitability measure for its domestic propane segment.

Our other non-GAAP financial measures comprise adjusted total margin, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners. Management believes the presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors to more effectively evaluate the period-over-period results of operations of the Partnership. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures because they eliminate the impact of (1) gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and (2) other gains and losses that competitors do not necessarily have to provide insight into the comparison of period-over-period profitability to that of other master limited partnerships.

(a)
Total margin represents total revenues less “Cost of sales — propane” and “Cost of sales — other.” Total margin for the 2019 and 2018 three-month periods includes the impact of changes in unrealized gains (losses) of $17.1 million and $(31.2) million, respectively, on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions.

(d)
Deviation from average heating degree days for the 15-year period 2002-2016 based upon national weather statistics provided by NOAA for 344 Geo Regions in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

The Partnership’s retail gallons sold during the 2019 three-month period were 3.7% lower than the prior-year period. Average temperatures based upon heating degree days were 4.4% colder than normal and 4.9% colder than the prior-year period. Although average temperatures during the 2019 three-month period across our entire service territory were colder than normal, we experienced significantly warmer than normal weather in the southeastern U.S. during January and February.

Retail propane revenues decreased $71.8 million during the 2019 three-month period reflecting the effects of lower average retail selling prices ($36.4 million) and the lower retail volumes sold ($35.4 million). Wholesale propane revenues increased $3.9 million reflecting higher wholesale volumes sold ($8.9 million) partially offset by lower average wholesale selling prices ($5.0 million). Average daily wholesale propane commodity prices during the 2019 three-month period at Mont Belvieu, Texas, one of the major supply points in the U.S., were approximately 21% lower than such prices during the 2018 three-month period. Other revenues in the 2019 three-month period were approximately equal to the prior-year period.

Total cost of sales during the 2019 three-month period decreased $96.8 million from the prior-year period. Cost of sales in the 2019 and 2018 three-month periods include net gains (losses) of $17.1 million and $(31.2) million on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions, respectively. Excluding the effects on cost of sales of these net gains and (losses) on derivative commodity instruments, total cost of sales decreased $48.5 million principally reflecting the effects of

lower average propane product costs ($39.4 million) and the lower retail propane volumes sold ($16.6 million) partially offset by higher wholesale propane volumes sold ($8.5 million).

Total margin (which includes net gains (losses) of $17.1 million and $(31.2) million on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions in the 2019 and 2018 three-month periods, respectively) increased $28.1 million during the 2019 three-month period. Adjusted total margin decreased $20.2 million principally reflecting lower retail propane total margin ($20.3 million). The decrease in retail propane total margin principally reflects the effects of the lower retail volumes sold ($18.8 million).

EBITDA and operating income (both of which include the effects of the previously mentioned unrealized gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments) increased $27.7 million and $28.9 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $19.2 million in the 2019 three-month period principally reflecting the effects of the lower adjusted total margin ($20.2 million) and slightly lower other operating income ($1.7 million), partially offset by a decrease in operating and administrative expenses excluding the impact of $0.9 million of expenses associated with the Proposed Merger in the 2019 three-month period ($2.4 million). The decrease in operating and administrative expenses reflects, among other things, lower general insurance and self-insured casualty and liability expense and slightly lower total compensation and benefits cost partially offset by slightly higher vehicle expenses. Adjusted operating income decreased $18.6 million in the 2019 three-month period principally reflecting the $19.2 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

The $19.6 million decrease in adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners principally reflects the $18.6 million decrease in adjusted operating income and a slight increase in interest expense ($1.2 million) on higher short-term borrowings.

(d)
Deviation from average heating degree days for the 15-year period 2002-2016 based upon national weather statistics provided by NOAA for 344 Geo Regions in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

The Partnership’s retail gallons sold during the 2019 six-month period were 1.4% lower than the prior-year period. Average temperatures based upon heating degree days were 4.6% colder than normal and 5.5% colder than the prior-year period. Although average temperatures during the 2019 six-month period across our entire service territory were colder than normal, we experienced significantly warmer than normal weather in the southeastern U.S. during January and February.

Retail propane revenues decreased $42.7 million during the 2019 six-month period reflecting the effects of the lower retail volumes sold ($22.4 million) and lower average retail selling prices ($20.3 million). Wholesale propane revenues increased $6.2 million reflecting higher wholesale volumes sold ($14.3 million) partially offset by lower average wholesale selling prices ($8.1 million). Average daily wholesale propane commodity prices during the 2019 six-month period at Mont Belvieu, Texas, one of the major supply points in the U.S., were approximately 19% lower than such prices during the 2018 six-month period. Other revenues in the 2019 six-month period were slightly higher than in the prior-year period principally reflecting higher service and ancillary revenues.

Total cost of sales during the 2019 six-month period decreased $5.2 million from the prior-year period. Cost of sales in the 2019 and 2018 six-month periods include $61.4 million and $30.4 million of net losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions, respectively. Excluding the effects on cost of sales of these net losses on derivative commodity instruments, total cost of sales decreased $36.1 million reflecting the effects of lower average propane product costs ($38.9 million) and the lower retail propane volumes sold ($10.5 million) partially offset by higher wholesale propane volumes sold ($13.8 million).

Total margin (which includes $61.4 million and $30.4 million of net losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions in the 2019 and 2018 six-month periods, respectively) decreased $30.7 million during the 2019 six-month period. Adjusted total margin in the 2019 six-month period was approximately equal to adjusted total margin in the 2018 six-month period as the effect of lower retail volumes sold ($11.9 million) was offset by slightly higher average retail propane unit margins ($11.0 million) due, in part, to the effects of declining wholesale propane prices during the 2019 six-month period.

EBITDA and operating income (both of which include the effects of the previously mentioned unrealized losses on commodity derivative instruments) decreased $34.1 million and $31.9 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.7 million in the 2019 six-month period principally reflecting higher operating and administrative expenses, excluding the impact of $0.9 million of expenses associated with the Proposed Merger in the 2019 six-month period ($2.4 million). The increase in operating and administrative expenses includes higher total compensation and benefits costs and higher vehicle expense, including higher lease expense, partially offset by lower general insurance and self-insured casualty and liability expense. Adjusted operating income was comparable to the prior-year period as the $2.7 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense ($2.6 million).

The decrease in adjusted net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, notwithstanding adjusted operating income that was comparable to the prior-year period, reflects an increase in interest expense ($3.0 million) on higher short-term borrowings partially offset by lower income tax expense ($1.9 million). Income tax expense in the 2018 six-month period included remeasurement adjustments to the deferred income taxes of our corporate subsidiary resulting from the TCJA signed into law on December 22, 2017.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2019, were $1.5 million compared to cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2018, of $6.9 million. The Partnership’s debt outstanding at March 31, 2019, totaled $2,805.5 million (including current maturities of long-term debt of $8.3 million and short-term borrowings of $236.0 million under the Credit Agreement). The Partnership’s debt outstanding at September 30, 2018, totaled $2,801.6 million (including current maturities of long-term debt of $8.6 million and short-term borrowings of $232.0 million under the Credit Agreement). Total long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2019, including current maturities, comprises $2,575.0 million of AmeriGas Partners’ Senior Notes, $7.4 million of Heritage Operating, L.P. Senior Notes and $12.6 million of other long-term debt, and is net of $25.5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Table of Contents



At March 31, 2019, there were $236.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Issued and outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, which reduce the amounts available for borrowings, totaled $63.4 million at March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2019, the Partnership’s available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $300.6 million. The average daily and peak short-term borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement during the 2019 six-month period were $303.2 million and $422.0 million, respectively. The average daily and peak short-term borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement during the 2018 six-month period were $206.3 million and $349.0 million, respectively.

AmeriGas Partners also has a Standby Equity Commitment Agreement with the General Partner and UGI under which UGI has committed to make up to $225 million of capital contributions to the Partnership through July 1, 2019. UGI’s capital contributions may be made from time to time through July 1, 2019, upon request of the Partnership. In consideration for any capital contributions pursuant to the Commitment Agreement, the Partnership will issue to UGI or a wholly owned subsidiary new Class B Common Units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. There have been no capital contributions made to the Partnership under the Commitment Agreement, and the last date on which AmeriGas may request a capital contribution, without the consent of UGI, is May 17, 2019.

The Partnership’s management believes that the Partnership has sufficient liquidity in the forms of cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, and short-term borrowings available under the Credit Agreement to meet its anticipated contractual and projected cash commitments.

Partnership Distributions

On April 29, 2019, the General Partner’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly distribution of $0.95 per Common Unit, equal to an annual rate of $3.80. The distribution is payable on May 17, 2019, to unitholders of record on May 10, 2019. During the six months ended March 31, 2019, the General Partner’s Board of Directors declared and the Partnership paid a quarterly distribution on all limited partner units at a rate of $0.95 per Common Unit for the quarters ended December 31, 2018, and September 30, 2018, respectively.

The ability of the Partnership to declare and pay the quarterly distribution on its Common Units in the future depends upon a number of factors. These factors include (1) the level of Partnership earnings; (2) the cash needs of the Partnership's operations (including cash needed for maintaining and increasing operating capacity); (3) changes in operating working capital; and (4) the Partnership’s ability to borrow under its Credit Agreement, refinance maturing debt, and increase its long-term debt. Some of these factors are affected by conditions beyond the Partnership’s control including weather, competition in markets we serve, the cost of propane and changes in capital market conditions.

Cash Flows

Operating activities. Due to the seasonal nature of the Partnership’s business, cash flows from operating activities are generally greatest during the second and third fiscal quarters when customers pay for propane consumed during the heating-season months. Conversely, operating cash flows are generally at their lowest levels during the first and fourth fiscal quarters when the Partnership’s investment in working capital, principally accounts receivable and inventories, is generally greatest. The Partnership may use its Credit Agreement to satisfy its seasonal operating cash flow needs.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $247.4 million in the 2019 six-month period compared to $230.4 million in the 2018 six-month period. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in operating working capital was $427.2 million in the 2019 six-month period, comparable to the $434.7 million of cash flow recorded in the prior-year six-month period. Cash used to fund changes in operating working capital was $179.8 million in the 2019 six-month period compared to $204.2 million in the 2018 six-month period. The slightly lower cash used to fund changes in working capital reflects, among other things, higher cash from changes in inventory reflecting in large part the impact of a larger decline in propane commodity costs during the current-year six-month period.

Investing activities. Investing activity cash flow principally comprises expenditures for property, plant and equipment, cash paid for acquisitions of businesses and proceeds from disposals of assets. Cash flow used in investing activities was $50.3 million in the 2019 six-month period compared with $39.7 million in the prior-year period. The Partnership spent $56.8 million for property, plant and equipment (comprising $29.8 million of maintenance capital expenditures and $27.0 million of growth capital expenditures) in the 2019 six-month period compared with $47.2 million (comprising $21.6 million of maintenance capital expenditures and $25.6 million of growth capital expenditures) in the 2018 six-month period. Capital expenditures in the 2019 six-month period include capital expenditures associated with an Enterprise Resource Planning system.

Financing activities. Financing activity cash flow principally comprises distributions on AmeriGas Partners Common Units, issuances and repayments of long-term debt, short-term borrowings, and issuances of AmeriGas Partners Common Units. Cash used by financing activities was $202.5 million in the 2019 six-month period compared with $193.3 million in the prior-year six-month period. Distributions in each of the 2019 and 2018 six-month periods totaled $201.4 million and $201.3 million, respectively. Cash provided by Credit Agreement borrowings in the 2019 six-month period and the 2018 six-month period totaled $4.0 million and $14.5 million, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary financial market risks include commodity prices for propane and interest rates on borrowings. Although we use derivative financial and commodity instruments to reduce market price risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not use derivative financial and commodity instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Commodity Price Risk

The risk associated with fluctuations in the prices the Partnership pays for propane is principally a result of market forces reflecting changes in supply and demand for propane and other energy commodities. The Partnership’s profitability is sensitive to changes in propane supply costs and the Partnership generally passes on increases in such costs to customers. The Partnership may not, however, always be able to pass through product cost increases fully, or keep pace with such increases, particularly when product costs rise rapidly. In order to reduce the volatility of the Partnership’s propane market price risk, we use contracts for the forward purchase or sale of propane, propane fixed-price supply agreements, and over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments including price swap contracts. Over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments utilized by the Partnership to hedge forecasted purchases of propane are generally settled at expiration of the contract. These derivative financial instruments contain collateral provisions. The fair value of unsettled commodity price risk sensitive instruments at March 31, 2019, was a net loss of $9.1 million. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the market price of propane would result in a decrease in such fair value of approximately $11.5 million.

Derivative Instruments Credit Risk

The Partnership is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial and commodity instruments. Our counterparties principally comprise major energy companies and major U.S. financial institutions. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe reduce overall credit risk. These policies include evaluating and monitoring our counterparties’ financial condition, including their credit ratings, and entering into agreements with counterparties that govern credit limits. Certain of these agreements call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or by the Partnership in the forms of letters of credit, parental guarantees or cash. Although we have concentrations of credit risk associated with derivative instruments held by certain derivative instrument counterparties, the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based upon the gross fair values of the derivative instruments, we would incur if these counterparties that make up the concentration failed to perform according to the terms of their contracts was not material at March 31, 2019. Certain of our derivative contracts have credit-risk-related contingent features that may require the posting of additional collateral in the event of a downgrade in the Partnership’s debt rating. At March 31, 2019, if the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the amount of collateral required to be posted would not be material.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The General Partner’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The General Partner’s management, with the participation of the General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b)Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Partnership’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Set forth below are updated risk factors associated with the Proposed Merger of Merger Sub with and into the Partnership. In addition to the information presented in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2018 Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described below or in our 2018 Annual Report are not the only risks facing the Partnership. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results.

Because the Share Election Exchange Ratio and the Mixed Election Exchange Ratio will not be adjusted for UGI common stock price fluctuations, Partnership unitholders receiving UGI common stock cannot be sure of the value of the merger consideration they will receive.
The market value of the merger consideration that Partnership unitholders will receive in the Proposed Merger if they make the Share Election or Mixed Election and are due to receive shares of UGI common stock after the proration will depend on the trading price of UGI common stock at completion of the Proposed Merger. Each of the Share Election Exchange Ratio and Mixed Election Exchange Ratio that determines the number of shares of UGI common stock that Partnership unitholders may receive, if applicable and as adjusted by any proration, as consideration in the Proposed Merger is fixed. This means that there is no mechanism contained in the Merger Agreement that would adjust the number of shares of UGI common stock that Partnership unitholders will receive as the merger consideration based on any decreases or increases in the trading price of the UGI common stock. UGI common stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond UGI’s or the Partnership’s control), including:
changes in UGI’s and the Partnership’s business, operations and prospects;
changes in market assessments of UGI’s and the Partnership’s business, operations and prospects;
interest rates, general market, industry and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the price of UGI common stock; and
federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation and legal developments in the businesses in which UGI and the Partnership operate.
If the price of UGI common stock at completion of the Proposed Merger is less than the price of UGI common stock on the date on which the Merger Agreement was signed, then the market value of the shares of UGI common stock received as merger consideration, if applicable, by Partnership unitholders will be less than contemplated at the time the Merger Agreement was signed. Neither UGI nor the Partnership is permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement solely because of changes in the market price of shares of UGI common stock or Common Units.
The fairness opinion rendered to the GP Audit Committee by TPH was necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and financial forecasts and other information made available to TPH as of the date of its opinion. As a result, the opinion does not reflect changes in events or circumstances after the date of such opinion. The GP Audit Committee has not obtained, and does not expect to obtain, an updated fairness opinion reflecting changes in circumstances that may have occurred since the signing of the Merger Agreement.
The fairness opinion rendered to the GP Audit Committee by TPH was provided for the information and assistance of the GP Audit Committee in connection with, and at the time of, its consideration of the Proposed Merger and the Merger Agreement. The opinion was necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and financial forecasts and other information made available to TPH as of, the date of its opinion, which may have changed, or may change, after the date such information was prepared or after the date of such opinion. The GP Audit Committee has not obtained an updated opinion from TPH following the date of the Merger Agreement and does not expect to obtain an updated opinion prior to completion of the Proposed Merger. Changes in the operations and prospects of UGI or the Partnership, economic, monetary, market and other conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of UGI and the Partnership, and on which the fairness opinion was based, may have altered the value of UGI or the Partnership or the prices of UGI common stock or Common Units since the date of such opinion, or may alter such values and prices by the time the Proposed Merger is completed. TPH’s opinion does not speak as of any date other than the date of the opinion. For a description of the opinion that TPH rendered to the GP Audit Committee, see the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019.

Table of Contents



UGI and the Partnership may be targets of securities class action and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the completion of the Proposed Merger.
Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into merger agreements in an effort to enjoin the merger or seek monetary relief from the counterparties. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. We cannot predict the occurrence or outcome of any such lawsuits, or others, nor can we predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve such litigation. An unfavorable resolution of any such litigation surrounding the Proposed Merger could delay or prevent its completion. In addition, the costs of defending the litigation, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial and such litigation could distract our management from pursuing the completion of the Proposed Merger and other potentially beneficial business opportunities.
Partnership unitholders may not receive the form of consideration that they elect in connection with the Proposed Merger.
The merger consideration in the Proposed Merger is subject to a proration designed to ensure that the number of shares of UGI common stock issuable as merger consideration will equal approximately 34,621,206 shares of UGI common stock. Accordingly, there is no assurance that Partnership unitholders will receive the form of merger consideration that they elect with respect to all Common Units they hold. There is a risk that Partnership unitholders will receive a portion of the merger consideration in the form that they do not elect. For more information on the proration procedures, see the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019.
The market price of UGI common stock is affected by factors different from those affecting the market price of the Common Units. The price of UGI common stock could decline following the Proposed Merger.
If the Proposed Merger is consummated, Partnership unitholders who make the Share Election or Mixed Election will become UGI shareholders, subject to any applicable proration. The businesses operated by UGI have different risks associated with them than those associated with the Partnership. Accordingly, the performance of UGI common stock is likely to be different from the performance of the Common Units in the absence of the Proposed Merger. Shares of UGI common stock are subject to investment risks and may decline in value due to UGI’s business performance or extrinsic factors affecting the industry or financial markets generally.
Directors and executive officers of the General Partner have certain interests that are different from those of Partnership unitholders generally.
Some of the directors and executive officers of the General Partner are parties to agreements or participants in other arrangements that give them interests in the Proposed Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Partnership unitholders. In addition, certain of the directors and executive officers of the General Partner are also directors or executive officers at UGI, and each of the directors of the GP Board is appointed by AmeriGas, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of UGI. These and other different interests are described in the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019.
The Partnership Agreement limits the duties of the General Partner to Partnership unitholders and restricts the remedies available to Partnership unitholders for actions taken by the General Partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of its duties.
The General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of UGI. In light of potential conflicts of interest between UGI and the General Partner, on the one hand, and the Partnership and the Partnership unitholders, on the other hand, the GP Board submitted the Proposed Merger and related matters to the GP Audit Committee for, among other things, review, evaluation, negotiation and possible approval of a majority of its members, which is referred to as “Special Approval” in the Partnership Agreement and this Form 10-Q. In addition, the Proposed Merger is conditioned upon the approval of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Units. Under the Partnership Agreement:
any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its affiliates in respect of a conflict of interest is permitted and deemed approved by all limited partners of the Partnership (i.e., the Partnership unitholders), and will not constitute a breach of the Partnership Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action is approved by Special Approval; and
the General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisors selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such persons as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such person’s

30

professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.
The GP Audit Committee reviewed, negotiated and evaluated the Merger Agreement, the Proposed Merger and related matters on behalf of the Partnership’s unitholders who are unaffiliated with UGI or the General Partner (the “Unaffiliated Partnership Unitholders’) and the Partnership. Among other things, the GP Audit Committee unanimously determined in good faith that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Proposed Merger, are fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, the Partnership and the Unaffiliated Partnership Unitholders, approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Proposed Merger, and recommended the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Proposed Merger, to the GP Board.
The duties of the General Partner, the GP Board and the GP Audit Committee to Partnership unitholders in connection with the Proposed Merger are substantially limited by the Partnership Agreement.
Current Partnership unitholders will have a reduced ownership after the Proposed Merger and will not exercise significant influence over management.
UGI will issue approximately 34,621,206 UGI common shares to Partnership unitholders in the Proposed Merger. As a result of these issuances, current UGI shareholders and Partnership unitholders are expected to hold approximately 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively, of UGI’s outstanding common stock immediately following completion of the Proposed Merger.
When the Proposed Merger occurs, the UGI common shares that each Partnership unitholder receives in exchange for Partnership Common Units, if applicable, will represent a percentage ownership of the combined company that is significantly smaller than Partnership unitholders’ collective percentage ownership of the Partnership. As a result of owning approximately 16.6% of UGI, former Partnership unitholders will not have significant influence on the management and policies of UGI.
Shares of UGI common stock to be received by Partnership unitholders as a result of the Proposed Merger, if applicable, have different rights than Common Units.
Following completion of the Proposed Merger, Partnership unitholders will no longer hold Common Units. Partnership unitholders who make the Share Election or Mixed Election will become UGI shareholders, subject to any applicable proration. There are important differences between the rights of Partnership unitholders and the rights of UGI shareholders. See the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019 for more information.
The number of outstanding shares of UGI common stock will increase as a result of the Proposed Merger, which could make it more difficult for UGI to pay the current level of quarterly dividends.
UGI expects to issue approximately 34.6 million shares in connection with the Proposed Merger. Accordingly, the aggregate dollar amount required to pay the current per share quarterly dividend on all shares of UGI common stock will increase, which could increase the likelihood that we will not have sufficient funds to pay the current level of quarterly distributions to all UGI shareholders.
The completion of the Proposed Merger is subject to various conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Proposed Merger, or significant delays in completing it, could negatively affect the trading prices of UGI common stock and the Common Units and the future business and financial results of UGI and the Partnership.
The completion of the Proposed Merger is subject to a number of conditions, some of which are beyond the parties’ control. In addition, UGI and the Partnership can agree not to consummate the Proposed Merger even if the Partnership unitholders approve the Proposed Merger and the conditions to completion of the Proposed Merger are otherwise satisfied.
The completion of the Proposed Merger is not assured and is subject to risks, including the risk that the closing conditions are not satisfied, including that the Partnership unitholders fail to approve the Proposed Merger or the occurrence of a material adverse change to the business or results of operations of UGI or the Partnership. The failure to satisfy conditions to the Proposed Merger may prevent or delay the Proposed Merger or otherwise result in it not occurring. The failure of the completion of the Proposed Merger, or any significant delays in completing the Proposed Merger, could cause us not to realize, or delay the realization of, some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the Proposed Merger, including those relating to the trading prices of shares of UGI common stock and the respective future business and financial results of UGI and the Partnership, which could be negatively affected, and each of which are subject to risks, including the following:

31

Table of Contents



the parties may be liable for damages to one another under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement;
negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the price of shares of UGI common stock or the Common Units due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the Proposed Merger will be completed;
having to pay certain significant costs relating to the Proposed Merger, including, in certain circumstances, the reimbursement by the Partnership of up to $5.0 million of UGI’s expenses and a termination fee of $20.0 million (see the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019 for more information); and
the attention of our management will have been diverted to the Proposed Merger rather than other strategic opportunities that could have been beneficial to the Company.
The Partnership is subject to provisions in the Merger Agreement that limit its ability to pursue alternatives to the Proposed Merger, which could discourage a potential competing acquirer of the Partnership from making a favorable alternative transaction proposal and, in specified circumstances under the Merger Agreement, would require the Partnership to reimburse up to $5.0 million of UGI’s out-of-pocket expenses and/or pay a termination fee to UGI of $20.0 million.
Under the Merger Agreement, the Partnership is restricted from entering into alternative transactions. Unless and until the Merger Agreement is terminated, subject to specified exceptions, the Partnership is restricted from soliciting, initiating, knowingly facilitating, knowingly encouraging or knowingly inducing or taking any other action intended to lead to any inquiries or any proposals that constitute or could reasonably be expected to lead to a proposal or offer for a competing acquisition proposal with any person. In addition, the Partnership may not grant any waiver or release of any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any Partnership Common Units or of any of its subsidiaries. Under the Merger Agreement, in the event of a potential change by the GP Board of its recommendation with respect to the Proposed Merger in light of a superior proposal, the Partnership must provide UGI with five days’ notice to allow UGI to propose adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. These provisions could discourage a third party that may have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of the Partnership from considering or proposing an acquisition, even if such third party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per unit market value than the merger consideration, or might result in a potential competing acquirer of the Partnership proposing to pay a lower price than it would otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in specified circumstances.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, including due to a Partnership adverse recommendation change having occurred or the Partnership’s unitholder approval not being obtained at the Special Meeting when a Partnership adverse recommendation change has occurred, the Partnership will be required to pay UGI a termination fee of $20.0 million. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, including if the Partnership’s unitholder approval is not obtained (other than if UGI failed to vote, and cause the General Partner and its affiliates to vote, the Partnership common units or they own beneficially or of record in favor of the Merger Agreement) or if the Partnership breaches certain of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, then the Partnership will be required to pay all of the reasonably documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by UGI and its affiliates in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Proposed Merger, up to a maximum amount of $5.0 million. Following payment of the termination fee or the reimbursement of expenses, as applicable, the Partnership will not be obligated to pay any additional expenses incurred by UGI or its affiliates. If the termination fee or the reimbursement of expenses is payable, the payment of such fee or expenses could have material and adverse consequences to the financial condition and operations of the Partnership. For a discussion of the restrictions on soliciting or entering into an alternative transaction and the ability of the GP Board to change its recommendation, see the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019.
If a governmental authority asserts objections to the Proposed Merger, UGI and the Partnership may be unable to complete the Proposed Merger or, in order to do so, UGI and the Partnership may be required to comply with material restrictions or satisfy material conditions.
The closing of the Proposed Merger is subject to the condition that there is no law, injunction, judgment or ruling by a governmental authority in effect enjoining, restraining, preventing or prohibiting the Proposed Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement. If a U.S. or foreign governmental authority asserts objections to the Proposed Merger, UGI or the Partnership may be required to take certain actions or accept other remedies in order to complete the Proposed Merger. There can be no assurance as to the cost, scope or impact of the actions that may be required to address any governmental authority objections to the Proposed Merger. If UGI or the Partnership takes such actions, it could be detrimental to it or to the combined company following the completion of the Proposed Merger. Furthermore, these actions could have the effect of delaying or preventing completion of the

32

Table of Contents



Proposed Merger or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues or cash available for distribution of the combined company following the completion of the Proposed Merger. See the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019.
Additionally, state attorneys general or other state or local regulators could seek to block, rescind or challenge the Proposed Merger as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest at any time, including after completion of the Proposed Merger. In addition, in some circumstances, a third party could initiate a private action under antitrust laws challenging or seeking to enjoin or rescind the Proposed Merger, before or after it is completed. UGI may not prevail and may incur significant costs in defending or settling any action under the antitrust laws.
UGI and the Partnership are subject to contractual interim operating restrictions while the Proposed Merger is pending, which could adversely affect each party’s business and operations.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each of UGI and the Partnership is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to completing the Proposed Merger, which may adversely affect its ability to execute certain of its business strategies. Such limitations could negatively affect each party’s business and operations prior to the completion of the Proposed Merger (see the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019 for more information).
UGI and the Partnership will incur substantial transaction-related costs in connection with the Proposed Merger, including fees paid to legal, financial and accounting advisors, filing fees and printing costs.
UGI and the Partnership expect to incur a number of non-recurring transaction-related costs associated with completing the Proposed Merger. These fees and costs will be substantial. Non-recurring transaction costs include, but are not limited to, fees paid to legal, financial and accounting advisors, filing fees and printing costs. Thus, any net benefit of the Proposed Merger may not be achieved in the near term, the long term or at all.
If the Proposed Merger is approved by Partnership unitholders, the date on which Partnership unitholders will receive the merger consideration is uncertain.
Completing the Proposed Merger is subject to several conditions, not all of which are controllable or waivable by UGI or the Partnership. Accordingly, if the Proposed Merger is approved by Partnership unitholders, the date on which Partnership unitholders will receive the merger consideration depends on the completion date of the Proposed Merger, which is uncertain. See the Form S-4 filed by UGI with the SEC on May 6, 2019 for more information.
The Proposed Merger will be a taxable transaction, and the resulting tax liability of a Partnership unitholder will depend on the unitholder’s particular situation. The tax liability of a Partnership unitholder resulting from the Proposed Merger could be more than expected and could be more than the cash received pursuant to the Proposed Merger.
Regardless of whether a U.S. Holder (as defined below) receives merger consideration consisting of cash, shares of UGI common stock or a combination thereof, the Proposed Merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, the Proposed Merger will be treated as a taxable sale of a U.S. Holder’s Common Units in exchange for the merger consideration, and each U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. Holder’s amount realized and his/her adjusted tax basis in his/her Common Units. The amount of gain or loss recognized by the U.S. Holder pursuant to the Proposed Merger will vary depending on his/her particular situation, including the value of the shares of UGI common stock he/she receives in the Proposed Merger, if any, the adjusted tax basis of the Common Units he/she exchanges in the Proposed Merger and the amount of any suspended passive losses that may be available to him. A U.S. Holder’s tax liability resulting from the Proposed Merger may be greater than the amount of cash he/she receives, if any, pursuant to the Proposed Merger.
Because the value of any shares of UGI common stock received in the Proposed Merger will not be known until the effective time of the Proposed Merger, a Partnership unitholder will not be able to determine his/her amount realized, and therefore his/her taxable gain or loss, until such time. In addition, because prior distributions in excess of a Partnership unitholder’s allocable share of the Partnership’s net taxable income decrease the unitholder’s tax basis in his/her common units, the amount, if any, of the prior excess distributions with respect to such common units will, in effect, become taxable income to the unitholder if the aggregate value of the consideration received in the Proposed Merger is greater than the unitholder’s adjusted tax basis in his/her common units, even if the aggregate value of the consideration received in the Proposed Merger is less than the unitholder’s original cost basis in his/her common units. Furthermore, a portion of this gain or loss, which could be substantial, will be separately computed and taxed as ordinary income or ordinary loss to the extent attributable to “unrealized receivables,” including depreciation recapture, or to “inventory items” owned by the Partnership and its subsidiaries.

33

Table of Contents




For purposes of this Form 10-Q, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Common Units that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
a trust if (i) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons (as defined in the Code) are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source.
U.S. federal income tax treatment of owning and disposing of Common Units.
The Partnership is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, generally, is not subject to entity-level U.S. federal income taxes. Instead, each Partnership unitholder is required to take into account his/her respective share of the items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership in computing his/her U.S. federal income tax liability, even if no cash distributions are made by the Partnership to such unitholder. A pro rata distribution of cash by the Partnership to a U.S. Holder is generally not taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless the amount of cash distributed is in excess of the unitholder’s adjusted tax basis in his/her Common Units.
In contrast, UGI is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. A distribution of cash by UGI to a UGI shareholder who is a U.S. Holder will generally be included in such U.S. Holder’s income as ordinary dividend income to the extent of UGI’s current or accumulated “earnings and profits” as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. A portion of the cash distributed to UGI shareholders by UGI after the Proposed Merger may exceed UGI’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions of cash in excess of UGI’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital reducing a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder’s shares of UGI common stock and, to the extent the distribution exceeds such stockholder’s adjusted tax basis, as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such shares of UGI common stock.

WHEREAS, a Phantom Unit is a Phantom Unit that represents the value of one common unit of APLP (“Common Unit”); and
WHEREAS, the Board has decided to grant Phantom Units to the Participant on the terms described below.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Phantom Units.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter, the Board hereby awards the Participant an award of _________ Phantom Units (as defined in Section 4). The Phantom Units are granted with Distribution Equivalents (as defined in Section 4).
(b)    The Company shall keep records in an Account (as defined in Section 4) to reflect the number of Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant. Fractional Phantom Units shall accumulate in the Participant’s Account and shall be added to other fractional Phantom Units to create whole Phantom Units.
2.    Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Phantom Units.





(a)    Crediting of Distribution Equivalents. From the Date of Grant until the Participant’s Account has been fully distributed, on each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s Account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalent associated with the Phantom Units credited to the Participant on the record date for the distribution.
(b)    Conversion to Phantom Units. On the last day of each Plan Year (as defined in Section 4), the amount of the Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account during that Plan Year shall be converted to a number of Phantom Units, based on the Unit Value (as defined in Section 4) on the last day of the Plan Year. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) or in the event the Participant dies or Separates from Service (as defined in Section 4) prior to the last day of the Plan Year, as soon as practicable following such event, and in no event later than the date on which Phantom Units are redeemed in accordance with Section 3, the Company shall convert the amount of Distribution Equivalents previously credited to the Participant’s Account during the Plan Year to a number of Phantom Units based on the Unit Value on the date of such Change of Control, death or Separation from Service.
3.    Events Requiring Redemption of Phantom Units.
(a)    Redemption. The Company shall redeem Phantom Units credited to the Participant’s Account at the times and in the manner prescribed by this Section 3. When Phantom Units are to be redeemed, the Company will determine the Unit Value of the Phantom Units credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or death. Except as described in subsection (c) below, an amount equal to 65% of the aggregate Unit Value will be paid in the form of whole Common Units (with fractional Common Units paid in cash), and the remaining 35% of the aggregate Unit Value will be paid in cash.
(b)    Separation from Service or Death. In the event the Participant Separates from Service or dies, the Company shall redeem all the Phantom Units then credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or death. In the event of a Separation from Service, the redemption amount shall be paid within 30 business days after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. In the event of death, the redemption amount shall be paid to the Participant’s estate within 60 business days after the Participant’s death.
(c)    Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall redeem all the Phantom Units then credited to the Participant’s Account. The redemption amount shall be paid in cash on the closing date of the Change of Control (except as described below). The amount paid shall equal the product of the number of Phantom Units being redeemed multiplied by the Unit Value at the date of the Change of Control. However, in the event that the transaction constituting a Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code (as defined in Section 4), the Participant’s Phantom Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash upon Separation from Service or death on the applicable date described in subsection (b) above (based on the aggregate Unit Value on the date of Separation from Service or death as determined by the Board), instead of upon the Change of Control pursuant to this subsection (c). If payment is delayed after the Change of Control, pursuant to the preceding

2




sentence, the Board may provide for the Phantom Units to be valued as of the date of the Change of Control and interest to be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control date and the payment date.
(d)    Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Deferral Plan, the Participant may make a one-time, irrevocable election to elect to have all of the Participant’s Phantom Units credited to the Participant’s account under the Deferral Plan on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, in lieu of the redemption and payments described in subsection (b) above. If the Participant makes a deferral election, the Participant’s Phantom Units will be credited to the Participant’s account under the Deferral Plan at Separation from Service and the amount credited to the Deferral Plan shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Deferral Plan. If the Participant makes a deferral election under the Deferral Plan and a Change of Control occurs: (i) subsection (c) above shall apply if the Change of Control occurs before the Participant’s Separation from Service and (ii) the terms of the Deferral Plan shall apply if the Change of Control occurs after or simultaneously with the Participant’s Separation from Service. An election under the Deferral Plan shall be made in writing, on a form and at a time prescribed by the committee that administers the Deferral Plan and shall be irrevocable upon submission to the Corporate Secretary. A deferral election shall be made in accordance with section 409A of the Code.

The Committee shall specify in the Grant Letter for Performance Units the terms and conditions of

2




the Performance Units and the applicable restrictions and performance goals, including the objective goals, employment requirements, period during which the Performance Units shall be subject to restrictions and other conditions of the Grant.
(b)    Terms. The Committee shall establish performance goals and terms for Performance Units in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan. The Committee shall establish appropriate threshold, target amount and maximum payments to be made with respect to the Performance Units.
(c)    Requirements of Employment or Service. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, AmeriGas or its Affiliates during the applicable period specified in the Grant Letter, all of the Participant’s Performance Units shall terminate.

(i)    If a Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death, the restrictions on a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units shall lapse at the end of the restriction period set forth in the Grant Letter, if the performance goals and all requirements of the Grant Letter (other than continued employment) are met. The prorated portion shall be determined, for each Performance Unit, as the amount that would otherwise be paid according to the terms of the Performance Unit, based on achievement of the performance goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of years during the restriction period in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, AmeriGas or its Affiliates and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration calculation, the year in which the Participant’s Retirement, Disability, or death occurs shall be counted as a full year.
(ii)    In the event of Retirement, Disability or death, the prorated portion of the Performance Units shall be paid at the date specified for payment of the Performance Units in the Grant Letter, or at an earlier date determined by the Committee in the Grant Letter.
(d)    Payment with Respect to Performance Units. If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, AmeriGas shall pay to the Participant, within 2½ months after the end of the restriction period, Common Units equal to the number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, provided that AmeriGas may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect to Performance Units earned. The Grant Letter may provide that a portion of the Performance Units (e.g., the number of Performance Units to be paid in excess of the target award) will be paid in cash instead of Common Units.
(e)    Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units. Distribution Equivalents, if granted, shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same performance goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the target award of Performance Units

3




from the Date of Grant until the payment date, provided, however, that the Participant may be eligible to receive Distribution Equivalents in excess of the target award if certain performance goals are satisfied, as provided in the Grant Letter. If and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(f)    Accounts. While Performance Units are outstanding, AmeriGas shall keep records in an Account for each Participant who holds Performance Units. On each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its common units, AmeriGas shall credit to the Participant’s Account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the target award of Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest shall be credited to any such Account.
(g)    Payment of Distribution Equivalents. Distribution Equivalents shall be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met.
(h)    Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, outstanding Performance Units granted before November 2012, and related Distribution Equivalents, shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the target amount or (ii) the amount earned as of the date of the Change of Control based on AmeriGas’s achievement of the performance goals as of the Change of Control, as determined by the Committee. If a former Participant is entitled to receive a prorated award for the restriction period, the award shall be the prorated portion of the amount described in the preceding sentence. The Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents shall be paid on the closing date of the Change of Control. Outstanding Performance Units granted in November 2012 and thereafter, and related Dividend Equivalents shall vest upon a Termination without Cause or Good Reason Termination upon, or during a specified period after, a Change of Control as described in the Grant Letter (“double trigger” vesting), and special rules may apply for termination of service on account of Retirement, death or Disability before or after a Change of Control, as described in the Grant Letter.
3.    Phantom Units – Executive Employees
(a)    Grant of Phantom Units. The Committee shall select the executive level Employees who shall receive Phantom Units and shall determine the number of Common Units subject to Phantom Units and the terms of the Phantom Units. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Distribution Equivalents shall be granted with respect to Phantom Units for executive level Employees. The Committee shall specify in the Participant’s Grant Letter the terms and conditions of the Phantom Units and the applicable restrictions, including the period during which the Phantom Units shall be subject to vesting requirements, if any, and other conditions of the Grant.
(b)    Vesting of Phantom Units. Phantom Units will vest on such terms as the Committee determines and specifies in the Grant Letter.

4




appropriate, including in the event that a Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to AmeriGas or its Affiliates, on account of Retirement, Disability or death.
(c)    Payment with respect to Phantom Units. A Participant will receive payment with respect to Phantom Units as the Phantom Units vest, within 30 business days after the vesting date. Payment with respect to Phantom Units shall be made in Common Units, provided that AmeriGas may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect to Phantom Units earned.
(d)    Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Phantom Units. Distribution Equivalents, if granted, shall accrue with respect to Phantom Units and shall be payable subject to the same terms as the Phantom Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect to Phantom Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If the underlying Phantom Units are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(e)    Accounts. While Phantom Units are outstanding, AmeriGas shall keep records in an Account for each Participant who holds Phantom Units. If the Phantom Unit was granted with Distribution Equivalents, on each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its common units, AmeriGas shall credit to the Participant’s Account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the Phantom Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest shall be credited to any such Account.
(f)    Payment of Distribution Equivalents. Distribution Equivalents shall be paid after the vesting and other requirements specified in the Grant Letter have been met, at the same time as the underlying Phantom Units are paid or as otherwise determined by the Committee. Distribution Equivalents will be paid in cash.
(g)    Change of Control.
(i)    All outstanding Phantom Units granted before November 2012 shall become fully vested upon a Change of Control and shall be paid in cash on the closing date of the Change of Control (except as described below). All Distribution Equivalents shall become fully vested and paid when the underlying Phantom Units are paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Phantom Units are subject to section 409A of the Code, the Phantom Units shall be paid upon a Change of Control only if the transaction constituting a Change of Control is also a change in control event under section 409A of the Code (“409A Change in Control Event”). If the transaction constituting a Change of Control does not constitute a 409A Change in Control Event, the outstanding Phantom Units shall vest upon the Change of Control, and any outstanding Phantom Units that are subject to section 409A shall be paid in cash (based on the Unit Value of the Phantom Units on the payment date as determined by the Committee) within 30 days after the first to occur of (x) the vesting date set forth in the Participant’s Grant Letter or (y) the Participant’s termination of employment or service (subject to the section 409A six-month delay, if applicable). If payment is delayed after the Change of Control, the Committee may provide for the Phantom Units to be valued as of the date of the Change of Control and interest

5




to be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control date and the payment date.
(ii)    Outstanding Phantom Units granted in November 2012 and thereafter, and related Dividend Equivalents, shall vest upon a Termination without Cause or Good Reason Termination upon, or during a specified period after, a Change of Control as described in the Grant Letter (“double trigger” vesting).

However, in the event that the transaction constituting a Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code, the Non-Employee Director’s Phantom Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash upon Separation from Service or death on the applicable date described in subsection (b) above (based on the aggregate Unit Value of the Phantom Units on the date of Separation from Service or death as determined by the Committee), instead of upon the Change of Control pursuant to this subsection (c). If payment is delayed after the Change of Control, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Committee may provide for the Phantom Units to be valued as of the date of the Change of Control and interest to be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control date and the payment date.
(d)     Effect on Outstanding Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents. The provisions of this Section 3 relating to the medium of payment (i.e., payment in cash or in a combination of cash and Common Units) shall apply to all outstanding Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents.
(e)    Section 409A. Phantom Units and Distribution Equivalents are intended to meet the requirements of section 409A of the Code or an exemption from such requirements.
(f)    Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Employee Director may make a one-time, irrevocable election to elect to have all of the Non-Employee Director’s Phantom Units credited to the Non-Employee Director’s account under the Deferral Plan on the date of the Non-Employee Director’s Separation from Service, in lieu of the redemption and payments described in subsection (b). If the Non-Employee Director makes a deferral election, the Non-Employee Director’s Phantom Units will be credited to the Non-Employee Director’s account under the Deferral Plan at Separation from Service and the amount credited to the Deferral Plan shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Deferral Plan. If the Non-Employee Director makes a deferral election and a Change of Control occurs: (i) subsection (c) above shall apply if the Change of Control occurs before the Non-Employee Director’s Separation from Service and (ii) the terms of the Deferral Plan shall apply if the Change of Control occurs after or simultaneously with the Non-Employee Director’s Separation from Service. An election under this subsection (f) shall be made in writing, on a form and at a time

9




prescribed by the Committee and shall be irrevocable upon submission to the Corporate Secretary.

V.    Administration.
5.1    The Committee administers the Plan. The Committee shall have full power and discretionary authority to interpret and administer the Plan, to make all determinations, including all participation and bonus determinations, and to prescribe, amend and rescind any rules, forms or procedures as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan and to make any other determinations and take such other actions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable in carrying out its duties under the Plan.

In the event of a Participant’s death, any amounts payable under this Plan, as determined by the Committee, shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.
6.3    Unfunded Arrangement. The Plan is an unfunded incentive compensation arrangement. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind. Each Participant’s right to receive a bonus shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Employer. All bonuses shall be paid from the general funds of the Employer, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of bonuses.
6.4    No Rights to Employment. Nothing in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant hereto, shall confer upon a Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Employer, or affect the right of the Employer to terminate a Participant’s employment at any time for cause or for no cause whatsoever.

5




6.5    Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the short-term deferral rule set forth in the regulations under section 409A of the Code, in order to avoid application of section 409A to the Plan. If and to the extent that any payment under this Plan is deemed to be deferred compensation subject to the requirements of section 409A, this Plan shall be administered so that such payments are made in accordance with the requirements of section 409A. Any payment from the Plan that is subject to the requirements of section 409A may only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted by section 409A, including the requirement that deferred compensation payable to a “specified employee” of a publicly traded company be postponed for six months after separation from service or death, if earlier. Payments upon termination of employment may only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A. For purposes of section 409A, each payment shall be treated as a separate payment. In no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under the Plan, and if a payment that is subject to section 409A is conditioned on the execution of a release of claims, and such payment could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.
6.6    Termination and Amendment of the Plan. The Compensation/Pension Committee of the Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Committee may adopt any amendment to the Plan as it shall deem necessary or appropriate to (i) maintain compliance with current laws and regulations, (ii) correct errors and omissions in the Plan document, and (iii) facilitate the administration and operation of the Plan. The Administrative Committee shall notify the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Board of any such amendments to the Plan within a reasonable period of time following such amendment.
6.7    Successors. The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employer, its successors and assigns, and each Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.
6.8    Applicable Law. The Plan shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

RECITALS
The UGI Corporation 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of UGI. The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of UGI (the “Committee”) has decided to make a stock option grant to the Participant.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares of common stock of UGI (“Shares”) specified in the Grant Summary at an exercise price of $___________ per Share. The Option shall become exercisable according to Section 2 below.
2.    Exercisability of Option. The Option shall become exercisable on the following dates, if the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company (as defined below) on the applicable date:

The exercisability of the Option is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Shares subject to the Option. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Shares, the number of Shares for which the Option becomes exercisable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.





3.    Term of Option.
(a)    The Option shall have a term of ten years from the Date of Grant and shall terminate at the expiration of that period (5:00 p.m. EST on December 31, _____), unless it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Grant Letter or the Plan.
(b)    If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company, the Option will terminate on the date the Participant ceases such employment or service. However, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company by reason of one of the following events, the Option held by the Participant will thereafter be exercisable pursuant to the following terms:
(i)    Termination without Cause. If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of a Termination without Cause, the Option will thereafter be exercisable only with respect to that number of Shares with respect to which the Option is already exercisable on the date the Participant’s employment or service terminates, except as provided in subsection (v) below. Such portion of the Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the 13-month period commencing on the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company.
(ii)    Retirement. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Retirement on or after the date that is six months following the Date of Grant, the Option will thereafter become exercisable as if the Participant had continued to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company after the date of such Retirement. In this case, the Option will terminate upon the expiration date of the Option. However, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Retirement within six months following the Date of Grant, the Option will terminate on the date of such termination of employment or service.
(iii)    Disability. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Disability, the Option will thereafter become exercisable as if the Participant had continued to provide service to the Company for 36 months after the date of such termination of employment or service. The Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of such 36-month period.
(iv)    Death. In the event of the death of the Participant while employed by, or providing service to, the Company, the Option will be fully and immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the 12-month period following the Participant’s death. Death of the Participant after the Participant has ceased to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company will not affect the otherwise applicable period for exercise of the Option determined pursuant to subsections (i), (ii), (iii) or (v). After the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Option may be exercised by the Participant’s estate.

-2-




(v)    Termination without Cause or Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after a Change of Control, the Option will be fully and immediately exercisable. The Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the 13-month period commencing on the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company; provided that if the Participant is eligible for Retirement at the date of such termination of employment, the Option will terminate on the expiration date of the Option.

Exhibit 10.6

UGI and Utilities Employees
FORM OF UGI CORPORATION
2013 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER
This PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT, dated ______________ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by UGI Corporation (“UGI”) to you (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
The UGI Corporation 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of performance units (“Performance Units”) with respect to shares of common stock of UGI (“Shares”). The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of UGI (the “Committee”) has decided to grant Performance Units to the Participant. The Participant’s portal in the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants (the “Grant Summary”) sets forth the number of Performance Units granted to the Participant with respect to this grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Performance Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a target award of the number of Performance Units specified in the Grant Summary (the “Target Award”). The Performance Units are contingently awarded and will be earned and payable if and to the extent that the Performance Goals (defined below) and other conditions of the Grant Letter are met. The Performance Units are granted with Dividend Equivalents (as defined in Section 8).
2.    Performance Goals.
(a)    The Participant shall earn the right to payment of the Performance Units if the Performance Goals are met for the Performance Period, and if the Participant continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company (as defined in Section 8) through December 31, _____.The Performance Period is the period beginning January 1, _____ and ending December 31, ______. The Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) goals and other requirements of this Section 2 are referred to as the “Performance Goals.”
(b)    The Target Award level of Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents will be payable if UGI’s TSR equals the median TSR of the comparison group designated by the Committee (the “Peer Group”) for the Performance Period. The Peer Group is the group of companies that comprises the Russell Midcap Utilities Index, excluding telecommunications companies and UGI, as of the beginning of the Performance Period, as set forth on the attached Exhibit A, and as described herein. If a company is added to the Russell Midcap Utilities Index





during the Performance Period, that company is not included in the TSR calculation. A company that is included in the Russell Midcap Utilities Index at the beginning of the Performance Period will be removed from the TSR calculation only if the company ceases to exist as a publicly traded company during the Performance Period (including by way of a merger or similar transaction in which the company is not the surviving company), consistent with the methodology described in subsection (c) below. Companies that are designated at the beginning of the Performance Period as telecommunications companies in the Russell Midcap Utilities Index shall be excluded from the TSR calculation. The actual amount of the award of Performance Units may be higher or lower than the Target Award, or it may be zero, based on UGI’s TSR percentile rank relative to the companies in the Peer Group, as follows:
        
UGI’s TSR Rank
 
Percentage of Target Award Earned (Percentile)
90th
 
200%
75th
 
162.50%
60th
 
125%
50th
 
100%
40th
 
70%
25th
 
25%
Less than 25th
 
0%

The award percentage earned will be interpolated between each of the measuring points.
(c)    TSR shall be calculated by UGI using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The share price used for determining TSR at the beginning and the end of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, _____) and the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, _____), respectively. The TSR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the three-year Performance Period as if they had been reinvested.
(d)    The Target Award is the amount designated for 100% (50th TSR rank) performance. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the Target Award if UGI’s TSR percentile rank exceeds the 50th TSR percentile rank, according to the foregoing schedule.
(e)    At the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been met and the amount to be paid with respect to the Performance Units. Except as described in Sections 3 and 6 below, the Participant must be employed by, or providing service to, the Company on December 31, _____ in order for the Participant to receive payment with respect to the Performance Units.
3.    Termination of Employment or Service.

2




(a)    Except as described below, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company before December 31, _____, the Performance Units and all Dividend Equivalents credited under this Grant Letter will be forfeited.
(b)    If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement (as defined in Section 8), Disability (as defined in Section 8) or death, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents, if the Performance Goals and the requirements of this Grant Letter are met. The prorated portion will be determined as the amount that would otherwise be paid after the end of the Performance Period, based on achievement of the Performance Goals, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar years during the Performance Period in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, the Company and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration calculation, the calendar year in which the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability, or death occurs will be counted as a full year.
(c)    In the event of termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death, the prorated amount shall be paid after the end of the Performance Period, pursuant to Section 4 below, except as provided in Section 6.
4.    Payment with Respect to Performance Units. If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall pay to the Participant (i) Shares equal to the number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, up to the Target Award, provided that the Company may withhold Shares to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect of the Performance Units earned up to the Target Award, and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the number of Shares equal to the Performance Units to be paid in excess of the Target Award, subject to applicable tax withholding. Payment shall be made between January 1, _____ and March 15, _____, except as provided in Section 6 below.
5.    Dividend Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units.
(a)    Dividend Equivalents shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same Performance Goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the Target Award of Performance Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Dividend Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(b)    While the Performance Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records of Dividend Equivalents in a bookkeeping account for the Participant. On each payment date for a dividend paid by UGI on its common stock, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents associated with the Target Award of Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the dividend. No interest will be credited to any such account.

3




(c)    The target amount of Dividend Equivalents (100% of the Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account) will be earned if UGI’s TSR rank is at the 50th TSR percentile rank for the Performance Period. The Participant can earn up to 200% of the target amount of Dividend Equivalents if UGI’s TSR percentile rank exceeds the 50th TSR rank, according to the schedule in Section 2 above. Except as described in Section 3(b) above, or Section 6, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates before December 31, _____, all Dividend Equivalents will be forfeited.
(d)    Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met. Notwithstanding anything in this Grant Letter to the contrary, the Participant may not accrue Dividend Equivalents in excess of $1,000,000 during any calendar year under all grants under the Plan.
6.    Change of Control.
(a)    If a Change of Control occurs, the Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change of Control, but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 6. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan. The term “Change of Control” shall mean a Change of Control of UGI as defined in the Plan. In addition, “Change of Control” shall include (i) any of the events with respect to UGI Utilities, Inc. (“Utilities”) defined as a “Change of Control” on Exhibit B hereto to the extent that the Participant is employed by Utilities or a subsidiary of Utilities as of the date of the occurrence of such event, and (ii) any of the events with respect to AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (“AmeriGas”) defined as a “Change of Control” on Exhibit C hereto to the extent that the Participant is employed by AmeriGas as of the date of the occurrence of such event.
(b)    If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, the Committee shall calculate a Change of Control Amount as follows:
(i)    The Performance Period shall end as of the closing date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”) and the TSR ending date calculation for the Performance Period shall be based on the 90 calendar day period ending on the Change of Control Date.
(ii)    The Committee shall calculate a “Change of Control Amount” equal to the greater of (i) the Target Award amount or (ii) the amount of Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals as of the Change of Control Date, as determined by the Committee. The Change of Control Amount shall include related Dividend Equivalents and, if applicable, interest as described below.
(iii)    The Committee shall determine whether the Change of Control Amount attributable to Performance Units shall be (A) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in

4




which case Dividend Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units, or (B) valued based on the Fair Market Value of the Performance Units as of the Change of Control Date and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control Date and the applicable payment date.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4, all payments on and after a Change of Control shall be made in cash.  If alternative (A) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Dividend Equivalents.  All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding. 
(c)    If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period and the Participant continues in employment or service through December 31, _____, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash between January 1, _____ and March 15, _____.
(d)    If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and the Participant has a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, _____, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 14 below.
(e)    If a Change of Control occurs during the Performance Period, and the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death upon or after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, _____, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 14 below; provided that, if required by section 409A, if the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death occurs more than two years after the Change of Control Date, payment will be made between January 1, _____ and March 15, _____, and not upon the earlier separation from service.
(f)    If a Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of Retirement, death or Disability before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs before the end of the Performance Period, the prorated amount in Section 3(b) shall be calculated by multiplying the fraction described in Section 3(b) by the Change of Control Amount. The prorated Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, subject to Section 14 below.
7.    Restrictive Covenants.
(a)    The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, in consideration for the grant of Performance Units, the Participant agrees to comply with all written restrictive covenants and agreements with the Company, including non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”).

(b)    UGI shall keep records in an Account (as defined in Section 4) to reflect the number of Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant. Fractional Stock Units shall accumulate in the Participant’s Account and shall be added to other fractional Stock Units to create whole Stock Units.
2.    Dividend Equivalents with Respect to Stock Units.
(a)    Crediting of Dividend Equivalents. From the Date of Grant until the Participant’s Account has been fully distributed, on each payment date for a dividend paid by UGI on its Shares, UGI shall credit to the Participant’s Account an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent associated with the Stock Units credited to the Participant on the record date for the dividend.
(b)    Conversion to Stock Units. On the last day of each Plan Year (as defined in Section 4), the amount of the Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account during that Plan Year shall be converted to a number of Stock Units, based on the Unit Value (as defined in Section 4) on the last day of the Plan Year. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in





the Plan) or in the event the Participant dies or Separates from Service (as defined in Section 4) prior to the last day of the Plan Year, as soon as practicable following such event, and in no event later than the date on which Stock Units are redeemed in accordance with Section 3, UGI shall convert the amount of Dividend Equivalents previously credited to the Participant’s Account during the Plan Year to a number of Stock Units based on the Unit Value on the date of such Change of Control, death or Separation from Service.
3.    Events Requiring Redemption of Stock Units.

However, in the event that the transaction constituting a Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code (as defined in Section 4), the Participant’s Stock Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash upon Separation from Service on the applicable date described in subsection (b) above (based on the aggregate Unit Value on the date of Separation from Service as determined by the Board), instead of upon the Change of Control pursuant to this subsection (c). If payment is delayed after the Change of Control, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Board may provide for the Stock Units to be valued as of the date of the Change of Control and interest to be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control date and the payment date.

(c)    Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall redeem all the Stock Units then credited to the Participant’s Account. The redemption amount shall be paid in cash on the closing date of the Change of Control (except as described below). The amount paid shall equal the product of the number of Stock Units being redeemed multiplied by the Unit Value at the date of the Change of Control. However, in the event that the transaction constituting a Change of Control is not a change in control event under section 409A of the Code, the Participant’s Stock Units shall be redeemed and paid in cash upon Separation from Service or death on the applicable date described in subsection (a) or (b) above (based on the aggregate Unit Value on the date of Separation from Service or death as determined by the Committee), instead of upon the Change of Control pursuant to this subsection (c). If payment is delayed after the Change of Control, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Committee may provide for the Stock Units to be valued as of the date of the Change of Control and interest to be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control date and the payment date.
(d)    Effect on Outstanding Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents. The provisions of this Section 5 relating to the medium of payment (i.e., payment in cash or in a combination of cash and Shares) shall apply to all outstanding Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents.
(e)    Section 409A. Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents shall meet the requirements of section 409A of the Code or an exemption from such requirements. If a Grant is subject to section 409A of the Code, (i) distributions shall only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under section 409A of the Code, (ii) payments to be made upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Code, (iii) payments to be made upon a Change of Control shall only be made upon a “change of control event” under section 409A of the Code, (iv) unless the Grant specifies otherwise, each payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of section 409A of the Code, and (v) in no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year in which a distribution is made except in accordance with section 409A of the Code.
(f)    Deferral Elections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Employee Director may make a one-time, irrevocable election to elect to have all of the Non-Employee Director’s Stock Units credited to the Non-Employee Director’s account under the Deferral Plan on the date




of the Non-Employee Director’s Separation from Service, in lieu of the redemption and payments described in subsections (a) or (b). If the Non-Employee Director makes a deferral election, the Non-Employee Director’s Stock Units will be credited to the Non-Employee Director’s account under the Deferral Plan at Separation from Service and the amount credited to the Deferral Plan shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Deferral Plan. If the Non-Employee Director makes a deferral election and a Change of Control occurs: (i) subsection (c) above shall apply if the Change of Control occurs before the Non-Employee Director’s Separation from Service and (ii) the terms of the Deferral Plan shall apply if the Change of Control occurs after or simultaneously with the Non-Employee Director’s Separation from Service. An election under this subsection (f) shall be made in writing, on a form and at a time prescribed by the Committee and shall be irrevocable upon submission to the Corporate Secretary.
6.    Company Policies. All Shares issued pursuant to an Option or Stock Unit shall be subject to any applicable policies implemented by the Board of Directors of UGI, as in effect from time to time.

a.    As used in this Agreement, “Company Innovations” means all inventions, creations, ideas (whether written or suggested), compositions, products, reports, outlines, improvements, modifications, processes, formulas, models, prototypes, sketches, drawings, plans or other works or material(s) for which I, alone or with one or more others, may make, devise or discover during my employment with UGI, including all ideas, inventions, creations, or plans written, suggested, created, produced, constructed, and/or contemplated including, but not limited to, items that pertain or are actually or potentially useful to any of the commercial or industrial activities, or processes and/or equipment for supporting same, of UGI.

5.    Non-competition and Non-solicitation.
During my employment and for a period of two years after the termination of my employment with UGI for any reason, voluntary or involuntary:
a.    I will not, for the benefit of myself or any other person or entity other than UGI, directly or indirectly, for the purpose or effect of competing or interfering with any part of UGI’s business: (i) solicit or service the business of any UGI Customer within the Territory; or (ii) solicit or conduct business with any person or entity who is a vendor or supplier of any product or service to UGI in the Territory or induce any such vendor or supplier to terminate or reduce its relationship with UGI.
b.    I will not, directly or indirectly: (i) own or operate; (ii) acquire an equity or partnership interest or a controlling interest of any other kind in; (iii) accept employment from; or (iv) serve in any role including, without limitation, as a principal, director, officer, partner, consultant, agent, representative or advisor of or to, any business that, now or in the future, distributes or sells goods or provides services that compete with goods sold or services provided by UGI (including, without limitation, propane and/or natural gas) in the Territory without first obtaining the written consent of the ______ of UGI Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that my employment is involuntarily terminated by UGI based upon my failure to meet the performance or financial objectives established for my position and UGI, in its sole discretion, determines that such failure on my part was not deliberate, UGI may, in its sole discretion, on a case by case basis, determine that a reduction in the two-year post-employment term is appropriate. Nothing in this paragraph 5(b) shall prohibit me from passively investing in a publicly held business

that competes with UGI provided my investment is less than 1% of the outstanding stock or market value of the business and I do not otherwise violate paragraph 3, 4, or 5 of this Agreement.
c.    I will not, directly or indirectly, nor will I induce any other person or entity to, solicit, recruit, offer employment or engagement to, hire, employ or engage (or participate in any of the foregoing), in a competing business, any employee or consultant of UGI over whom I had direct or indirect supervisory responsibility or with whom I worked, or who was employed or engaged by UGI within the Territory during the two-year period prior to the termination of my employment. Furthermore, I shall not induce or attempt to induce any employee or consultant to terminate his or her employment or engagement with UGI.
6.    Remedies and Reformation.
a.    I understand that if I violate this Agreement, UGI will suffer irreparable harm; therefore, in addition to any other remedies available to it, UGI will be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive or equitable relief, including orders prohibiting violations of this Agreement, without the necessity of posting a bond. The limitations in this Agreement which apply for a period of two years after termination of employment shall be enforced by a court from the date of the last breach or violation of the applicable restriction(s) up to four years after termination of employment.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, such invalidity shall not impair the operation of or affect the remaining provisions hereof.
b.    In any legal proceeding in which UGI obtains injunctive or equitable relief or damages against me arising out of my violation of this Agreement, UGI shall be entitled to recover from me its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
c.    The failure by UGI to insist on my compliance with this Agreement or to enforce it in any particular circumstance will not constitute a waiver by UGI of its rights to seek relief for any other or subsequent breach of this Agreement. Any breach by UGI of this Agreement or any other agreement between UGI and me, whether or not material, shall not constitute a defense to UGI’s enforcement of this Agreement against me.
7.    Additional Provisions.
a.    This Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect without re-execution in the event that: (i) I am employed by UGI in another position or transferred to another territory; (ii) I take a leave of absence; or (iii) there are periods between active employment during which I do not perform services for UGI.

d.    I will disclose the existence of this Agreement to all of my prospective and actual employers. I authorize UGI to disclose the existence of this Agreement and to provide a copy of this Agreement to any prospective and actual employer.
e.    I have read and understood this Agreement, believe it to be reasonable, and am signing it voluntarily. I acknowledge that my obligations under this Agreement will not impose an unreasonable economic hardship on me and are reasonable and necessary to protect UGI’s legitimate business interests. I further recognize that this Agreement may be enforced against me by a court of law or equity. I also understand that the execution of this Agreement is a requirement of my employment with UGI and that UGI will expect me to adhere strictly to the terms of this Agreement both during and following my employment.
f.    I acknowledge that I am not bound by any agreement or understanding with any third party that would inhibit me in any way from working in my role for UGI. To the extent that I have any confidentiality obligations or other restrictions under any applicable agreements with third parties, I agree not to violate the terms of any such agreements or use any such confidential information of third parties in my employment with UGI.
g.    The provisions of this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between me and UGI regarding UGI's Confidential Information and my non-competition and non-solicitation obligations, which Agreement cannot be varied except by a writing signed by me and the _______ of UGI Corporation.

(i)    The Company shall pay to the Employee a lump sum cash payment equal to the greater of (A) or (B) as set forth below:
(A)    The Separation Pay and Paid Notice as calculated under the terms of the Executive Severance Plan based on the Employee’s compensation and service as of the Termination Date, or
(B)    _____ multiplied by the sum of (1) the Employee’s annual base salary plus (2) the Employee’s annual bonus.

paid to the Employee for the three full fiscal years of the Company preceding the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs or (y) the Employee’s target annual cash bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs. For purposes of the preceding sentence, if the Employee has not received an annual cash bonus for three full fiscal years, the Employee’s average annual cash bonus shall be determined by dividing the total annual cash bonuses received by the Employee during the preceding three full fiscal years by the number of full and fractional years for which the Employee received an annual cash bonus during such three-year period.

The cash payment shall include a tax gross up payment equal to 75% of the lump sum amount described in the preceding sentence. The Employee may elect continuation coverage under the Company’s applicable medical and dental plans during the Continuation Period by paying the COBRA Cost of such coverage. COBRA Coverage shall run concurrently with the Continuation Period, and nothing in this Section shall limit the Employee’s right to elect COBRA Coverage for the full period permitted by law.
(iii)    The Employee’s benefit under the Company’s executive retirement plan in which the Employee participates shall be calculated as if the Employee had continued in employment during the Continuation Period, earning base salary and bonus at the annual rate calculated under subsection (i)(B) above.
(iv)    The Company shall pay to the Employee an amount equal to the Employee’s target annual cash bonus amount for the Company’s fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, multiplied by the number of months (with a partial month counting as a full month) elapsed in the fiscal year to the Termination Date and divided by 12, as well as any amounts due but not yet paid from the prior year under such plan.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payments shall be made to the Employee under this Section 4 unless the Employee signs and does not revoke a Release. The amounts described in subsections (a) (i), (ii) and (iv) above shall be paid on the 30th day after the Termination Date subject to the Company’s receipt of a Release and expiration of the revocation period for the Release. Payments under this Agreement shall be made by mail to the last address provided for notices to the Employee pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement.
5.    Other Payments.
Upon any Termination of Employment entitling the Employee to payments under this Agreement, the Employee shall receive all accrued but unpaid salary and all benefits accrued and payable under any plans, policies and programs of the Company and its Subsidiaries or

5
 



Affiliates, provided that the Employee shall not receive severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan or any other severance plan of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate.
6.    Interest; Enforcement.
(a)    If the Company shall fail or refuse to pay any amounts due the Employee under Section 4 on the applicable due date, the Company shall pay interest at the rate described below on the unpaid payments from the applicable due date to the date on which such amounts are paid. Interest shall be credited at an annual rate equal to the rate listed in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” as of the Employee’s Termination Date, plus 1%, compounded annually.
(b)    It is the intent of the parties that the Employee not be required to incur any expenses associated with the enforcement of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement by arbitration, litigation or other legal action, because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Employee hereunder. Accordingly, the Company shall pay the Employee on demand the amount necessary to reimburse the Employee in full for all reasonable expenses (including all attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Employee in enforcing any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The Employee shall notify the Company of the expenses for which the Employee demands reimbursement within 60 days after the Employee receives an invoice for such expenses, and the Company shall pay the reimbursement amount within 15 days after receipt of such notice.
7.    No Mitigation. The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for herein be reduced by any compensation earned by other employment or otherwise.
8.    Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Employee’s continuing or future participation in or rights under any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and for which the Employee may qualify.
9.    No Set-Off. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Employee or others.
10.    Taxation. All payments under this Agreement shall be subject to all requirements of the law with regard to tax withholding and reporting and filing requirements, and the Company shall use its best efforts to satisfy promptly all such requirements.
11.    Effect of Section 280G on Payments.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation

6
 



(within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of section 280G of the Code, the Company shall reduce (but not below zero) the aggregate present value of the Payments under the Agreement to the Reduced Amount (as defined below), if reducing the Payments under this Agreement will provide the Employee with a greater net after-tax amount than would be the case if no reduction was made. The Payments shall be reduced as described in the preceding sentence only if (A) the net amount of the Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and payroll taxes on the reduced Payments), is greater than or equal to (B) the net amount of the Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income and payroll taxes on the Payments and the amount of Excise Tax (as defined below) to which the Employee would be subject with respect to the unreduced Payments). Only amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this subsection (a). The “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value that maximizes the aggregate present value of Payments under this Agreement without causing any Payment under this Agreement to be subject to the Excise Tax, determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. The term “Excise Tax” means the excise tax imposed under section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax.
(b)    All determinations to be made under this Section 11 shall be made by an independent registered public accounting firm or consulting firm selected by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control, which shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within 10 days of the Change in Control. Any such determination by such firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee.
(c)    All of the fees and expenses of the firm in performing the determinations referred to in this Section shall be borne solely by the Company.
12.    Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall be for three years from the date hereof and shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless the Company notifies the Employee in writing that this Agreement will not be renewed at least 60 days prior to the end of the then current term; provided, however, that (i) if a Change in Control occurs during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in effect for two years following such Change in Control or until all of the obligations of the parties hereunder are satisfied or have expired, if later, and (ii) this Agreement shall terminate if the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason before a Change in Control (regardless of whether the Employee is thereafter employed by a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company).
13.    Successor Company. The Company shall require any successor or successors (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Employee, to acknowledge expressly that this Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, and to become jointly and severally

7
 



obligated with the Company to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or successions had taken place. Failure of the Company to notify the Employee in writing as to such successorship, to provide the Employee the opportunity to review and agree to the successor’s assumption of this Agreement or to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the Company shall mean the Company as defined above and any such successor or successors to its business or assets, jointly and severally.
14.    Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder or necessary or convenient in connection herewith shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight express courier service, as follows:
If to the Company, to:
460 North Gulph Road
King of Prussia, PA 19406
Attention: Corporate Secretary
If to the Employee, to the most recent address provided by the Employee to the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate for payroll purposes,
or to such other address as the Company or the Employee, as the case may be, shall designate by notice to the other party hereto in the manner specified in this Section; provided, however, that if no such notice is given by the Company following a Change in Control, notice at the last address of the Company or any successor pursuant to Section 13 shall be deemed sufficient for the purposes hereof. Any such notice shall be deemed delivered and effective when received in the case of personal delivery, five days after deposit, postage prepaid, with the U.S. Postal Service in the case of registered or certified mail, or on the next business day in the case of overnight express courier service.
15.    Section 409A of the Code.
(a)    This Agreement is intended to meet the requirements of the “short-term deferral exception,” “separation pay exception” and other exceptions under section 409A of the Code, as applicable. However, if the Employee is a Key Employee and if required by section 409A of the Code, no payments or benefits under this Agreement shall be paid to the Employee during the Postponement Period. If payment is required to be delayed for the Postponement Period pursuant to section 409A, the accumulated amounts withheld on account of section 409A, with interest as described in Section 6 above, shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 15 days after the end of the Postponement Period. If the Employee dies during the Postponement Period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A, with interest as described above, shall be paid to the Employee’s estate within 60 days after the Employee’s death.

8
 



(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if required by section 409A, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by section 409A, to the extent applicable. As used in the Agreement, the term “termination of employment” shall mean the Employee’s separation from service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates within the meaning of section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of section 409A, each payment under the Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In no event may the Employee designate the year of payment for any amounts payable under the Agreement. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code.
16.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions.
17.    Contents of Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof (including without limitation any other change in control agreement in effect between the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate and the Employee) and sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement cannot be amended except pursuant to approval by the Board and a written amendment executed by the Employee and the Chair of the Compensation Committee. The provisions of this Agreement may require a variance from the terms and conditions of certain compensation or bonus plans under circumstances where such plans would not provide for payment thereof in order to obtain the maximum benefits for the Employee. It is the specific intention of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in such plans, and such plans shall be deemed to have been amended to correspond with this Agreement without further action by the Company or the Board.
18.    No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate.
19.    Successors and Assigns. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, except that the duties and responsibilities of the Employee and the Company hereunder shall not be assignable in whole or in part.
20.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any circumstances shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application.
21.    Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No right conferred upon the Employee by this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given

9
 



hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission by the Employee in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof.
22.    Miscellaneous. All section headings are for convenience only. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is an original. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account for any of the other counterparts.
23.    Arbitration. In the event of any dispute under the provisions of this Agreement other than a dispute in which the sole relief sought is an equitable remedy such as an injunction, the parties shall be required to have the dispute, controversy or claim settled by arbitration in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before one arbitrator who shall be an executive officer or former executive officer of a publicly traded corporation, selected by the parties. Any award entered by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The arbitrator shall have no authority to modify any provision of this Agreement or to award a remedy for a dispute involving this Agreement other than a benefit specifically provided under or by virtue of the Agreement. The Company shall be responsible for all of the fees of the American Arbitration Association and the arbitrator and any expenses relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above. By executing this Agreement, the undersigned acknowledge that this Agreement replaces and supersedes any other understanding regarding the matters described herein.

FORM OF AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC.
2010 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
ON BEHALF OF AMERIGAS PARTNERS, L.P.
PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT LETTER
This PERFORMANCE UNIT GRANT, dated _______________ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (the “Company”) to you (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on Behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of performance units (“Performance Units”) with respect to common units of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“APLP”);
WHEREAS, the Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, and approved by the common unit holders of APLP (“Unitholders”);
WHEREAS, a Performance Unit is a performance unit that represents the value of one common unit of APLP (“Common Unit”);
WHEREAS, the Compensation/Pension Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) has decided to grant Performance Units to the Participant on the terms described below; and
WHEREAS, the Participant’s portal in the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants (the “Grant Summary”) sets forth the target number of Performance Units granted to the Participant with respect to this grant as described in this grant letter (the “Grant Letter”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Performance Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a target award of the number of Performance Units specified in the Grant Summary (the “Target Award”). The Performance Units will be earned and payable if and to the extent that the Performance Goals (described below) and other conditions of the Grant Letter are met. The Performance Units are granted with Distribution Equivalents (as defined in the Plan).

1




2.    Performance Goals: Overview.
(a)    Conditions to Payment. The Participant shall earn the right to payment of the Performance Units if the Performance Goals described below are met for the Performance Period (as described below), and if the Participant continues to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company and its Affiliates (as defined in the Plan) through December 31, _______. All payments described in this Section 2 with respect to the Performance Units are subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates through December 31, _____, except as provided in Section 4 or 7.
(b)    Performance Period. The Performance Period with respect to the Performance Goals is the period beginning January 1, _____ and ending December 31, _____.
(c)    Certification by the Committee. After the end of the Performance Period, the Committee will determine whether and to what extent the Performance Goals have been met and the amount, if any, to be paid with respect to the Performance Units.
3.    Performance Goals.
(a)    The Target Award will be payable if and to the extent that the Total Unitholder Return (“TUR”) for APLP equals the median TUR of the Peer Group set forth in Exhibit A and described below (the “Peer Group”) for the Performance Period and the Participant continues in employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through December 31, 2021, subject to Sections 4 and 7 below.
(b)    For purposes of calculations under this Section 3, the Peer Group consists of those specified companies from the Tortoise MLP Index, as set forth on the attached Exhibit A. If a company is added to the Tortoise MLP Index during the Performance Period, that company is not included in the TUR calculation. A company that is included in the Peer Group, as set forth in Exhibit A, will be removed from the TUR calculation only if the company ceases to exist as a publicly traded entity during the Performance Period, consistent with the methodology described in subsection (c) below. The actual award of Performance Units with respect to TUR performance may be higher or lower than the Target Award, or it may be zero, based on APLP’s TUR percentile rank relative to the companies in the Peer Group, as follows:


2




APLP's TUR Rank Based on the Peer Group
(Percentile)
 
Percentage of Target Award
90th
 
200%
75th
 
162.5%
60th
 
125%
50th
 
100%
40th
 
70%
25th
 
25%
less than 25th
 
0%


The award percentage will be interpolated between each of the measuring points.
(c)    For purposes of calculating TUR for the Performance Goals under this Section 3, TUR shall be calculated by the Company using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of the calculation. The price used for determining TUR at the beginning and the end of the Performance Period will be the average price for the calendar quarter preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, _____) and the calendar quarter ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e., the calendar quarter ending on December 31, _____), respectively. The TUR calculation gives effect to all dividends throughout the Performance Period as if they had been reinvested.
(d)    The Target Award is the amount designated for 100% (50th TUR rank) performance. Under this Section 3, the Participant can earn up to 200% of the Target Award if APLP’s TUR percentile rank exceeds the 50th TUR percentile rank, according to the foregoing schedule.
4.    Termination of Employment or Service.
(a)    Except as described below, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company and its Affiliates before December 31, _____, the Performance Units and all Distribution Equivalents credited under this Grant Letter will be forfeited.
(b)    If the Participant terminates employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates on account of Retirement (as defined below), Disability (as defined in the Plan) or death, the Participant will earn a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents, if the Performance Goals and the requirements of this Grant Letter are met. The prorated portion will be determined as the amount that would otherwise be paid after December 31, _____, based on achievement of the Performance Goals for the Performance Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar years from January 1, _____ through December 31, _____in which the Participant has been employed by, or provided service to, the Company or its Affiliates and the denominator of which is three. For purposes of the proration calculation, the calendar year in which the Participant’s

1




termination of employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability, or death occurs will be counted as a full year.
(c)    In the event of termination of employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates on account of Retirement, Disability or death, the prorated amount shall be paid between January 1, _____ and March 15, _____ pursuant to Section 5, except as provided in Section 7.
5.    Payment with Respect to Performance Units. If the Committee determines that the conditions to payment of the Performance Units have been met, the Company shall pay to the Participant (i) Common Units equal to the number of Performance Units to be paid according to achievement of the Performance Goals, up to the Target Award, provided that the Company may withhold Common Units to cover required tax withholding in an amount equal to the minimum statutory tax withholding requirement in respect of the Performance Units earned up to the Target Award, and (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the number of Common Units equal to the Performance Units to be paid in excess of the Target Award, subject to applicable tax withholding. Payment shall be made between January 1, _____ and March 15, _____, except as provided in Section 7.
6.    Distribution Equivalents with Respect to Performance Units.
(a)    Distribution Equivalents shall accrue with respect to Performance Units and shall be payable subject to the same Performance Goals and terms as the Performance Units to which they relate. Distribution Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the Target Award of Performance Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date. If and to the extent that underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Distribution Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(b)    While the Performance Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records of Distribution Equivalents in a bookkeeping account for the Participant. On each payment date for a distribution paid by APLP on its Common Units, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account an amount equal to the Distribution Equivalents associated with the Target Award of Performance Units held by the Participant on the record date for the distribution. No interest will be credited to any such account. The Distribution Equivalents shall be payable if and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are payable. The target amount of Distribution Equivalents (100% of the Distribution Equivalents credited to the Participant’s account) will be payable if the Performance Goals are met at target, subject to continued employment. The Participant can earn from 0% to 200% of the target amount of the Distribution Equivalents based on attainment of the Performance Goals and continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate.
(c)    Except as described in Section 4(b) above or Section 7, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates before December 31, _____, all Distribution Equivalents will be forfeited.

4




(d)    Distribution Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying Performance Units are paid, after the Committee determines that the conditions to payment have been met.
7.    Change of Control.
(a)    If a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs, the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change of Control but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 7. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Performance Units and Distribution Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan. The term “Change of Control” shall mean a Change of Control, as defined in the Plan. In addition, “Change of Control” shall include any of the events with respect to UGI Utilities, Inc. (“Utilities”) defined as a “Change of Control” on Exhibit B hereto to the extent that the Participant is employed by Utilities or a subsidiary of Utilities as of the date of the occurrence of such event.
(b)    If a Change of Control occurs on or before December 31, _____, the Committee shall calculate a Change of Control Amount as follows:
(i)    The Performance Period shall end as of the closing date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”). The TUR ending date calculations for the Performance Period shall be based on the 90 calendar day period ending on the Change of Control Date.
(ii)    The Committee shall calculate a “Change of Control Amount” equal to the greater of (A) the Target Award amount or (B) the amount of Performance Units that would be payable based on the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals as of the Change of Control Date as described in subsection (i) above.
(iii)    The Change of Control Amount shall include related Distribution Equivalents and, if applicable, interest, as described below.
(iv)    The Committee shall determine whether the Change of Control Amount attributable to Performance Units shall be (A) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in which case Distribution Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units, or (B) valued based on the Fair Market Value of the Performance Units as of the Change of Control Date and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change of Control Date and the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5, all payments on and after a Change of Control shall be made in cash. If alternative (A) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Distribution Equivalents. All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.

5




(c)    If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant continues in employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate through December 31, _____, the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash between January 1, _____ and March 15, ______.
(d)    If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant has a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination, in either case upon or within two years after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, _____ , the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 15 below.
(e)    If a Change of Control occurs and the Participant terminates employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates on account of Retirement, Disability or death upon or after the Change of Control Date and before December 31, _____ , the Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 15 below; provided that, if required by section 409A, if the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death occurs more than two years after the Change of Control Date, payment will be made between January 1, _____ and March 15, _____, and not upon the earlier separation from service.
(f)    If a Participant’s employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates on account of Retirement, death or Disability before a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs on or before December 31, _____, the prorated amount described in Section 4(b) shall be calculated by multiplying the fraction described in Section 4(b) by the Change of Control Amount. The prorated Change of Control Amount shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Change of Control Date, subject to Section 15 below.
8.    Restrictive Covenants.
(a)    The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, in consideration for the grant of Performance Units, the Participant agrees to comply with all written restrictive covenants and agreements with the Company and its affiliates, including non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”).

FORM OF UGI CORPORATION
2013 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT LETTER
This STOCK OPTION GRANT, dated _________________ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by UGI Corporation (“UGI”) to you (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
The UGI Corporation 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of UGI. The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of UGI (the “Committee”) has decided to make a stock option grant to the Participant. The Participant’s portal in the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants (the “Grant Summary”) sets forth the number of shares subject to the Option granted to the Participant in this grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant Letter, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant Letter and in the Plan, the Committee hereby grants to the Participant a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of shares of common stock of UGI (“Shares”) specified in the Grant Summary at an exercise price of $_____ per Share. The Option shall become exercisable according to Section 2 below.
2.    Exercisability of Option. The Option shall become exercisable on the following dates, if the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company (as defined below) on the applicable date:

Date
Shares for Which the
Option is Exercisable
January 30, _____
33⅓%
January 30, _____
33⅓%
January 30, _____
33⅓%

The exercisability of the Option is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Shares subject to the Option. If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Shares, the number of Shares for which the Option becomes exercisable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share.





3.    Term of Option.
(a)    The Option shall have a term of ten years from the Date of Grant and shall terminate at the expiration of that period (5:00 p.m. EST on ______________), unless it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Grant Letter or the Plan.
(b)    If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company, the Option will terminate on the date the Participant ceases such employment or service. However, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company by reason of one of the following events, the Option held by the Participant will thereafter be exercisable pursuant to the following terms:
(i)    Termination without Cause. If the Participant terminates employment or service on account of a Termination without Cause, the Option will thereafter be exercisable only with respect to that number of Shares with respect to which the Option is already exercisable on the date the Participant’s employment or service terminates, except as provided in subsection (v) below. Such portion of the Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the 13-month period commencing on the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company.
(ii)    Retirement. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Retirement on or after the date that is six months following the Date of Grant, the Option will thereafter become exercisable as if the Participant had continued to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company after the date of such Retirement. In this case, the Option will terminate upon the expiration date of the Option. However, if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Retirement within six months following the Date of Grant, the Option will terminate on the date of such termination of employment or service.
(iii)    Disability. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Disability, the Option will thereafter become exercisable as if the Participant had continued to provide service to the Company for 36 months after the date of such termination of employment or service. The Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of such 36-month period.
(iv)    Death. In the event of the death of the Participant while employed by, or providing service to, the Company, the Option will be fully and immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the 12-month period following the Participant’s death. Death of the Participant after the Participant has ceased to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company will not affect the otherwise applicable period for exercise of the Option determined pursuant to subsections (i), (ii), (iii) or (v). After the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Option may be exercised by the Participant’s estate.

-2-




(v)    Termination without Cause or Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination upon or within two years after a Change of Control, the Option will be fully and immediately exercisable. The Option will terminate upon the earlier of the expiration date of the Option or the expiration of the 13-month period commencing on the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company; provided that if the Participant is eligible for Retirement at the date of such termination of employment, the Option will terminate on the expiration date of the Option.
4.    Exercise Procedures.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 above, the Participant may exercise part or all of the exercisable Option through the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants. Payment of the exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes must be made prior to issuance of the Shares. The Participant shall pay the exercise price (i) in cash, (ii) by “net exercise,” which is the surrender of shares for which the Option is exercisable to the Company in exchange for a distribution of Shares equal to the amount by which the then fair market value of the Shares subject to the exercised Option exceeds the applicable Option Price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures acceptable to the Committee and permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board or (iv) by such other method as the Committee may approve. The Committee may impose such limitations as it deems appropriate on the use of Shares to exercise the Option.
(b)    The obligation of UGI to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, including such actions as UGI’s counsel shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations. UGI may require that the Participant (or other person exercising the Option after the Participant’s death) represent that the Participant is purchasing Shares for the Participant’s own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Shares, or such other representation as UGI deems appropriate.
(c)    All obligations of UGI under this Grant Letter shall be subject to the rights of the Company as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable.
5.    Restrictive Covenants.
(a)    The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, in consideration for the grant of the Option the Participant agrees to comply with all written restrictive covenants and agreements with the Company, including non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”).
(b)    The Participant acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Participant breaches any of the Restrictive Covenants:

-3-




(i)The Committee may in its discretion determine that the Participant shall forfeit the outstanding Option (without regard to whether any portion of the Option has vested), and the outstanding Option shall immediately terminate; and
(ii)If the Participant breaches any of the Restrictive Covenants within 12 months following receipt of any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option, the Committee may in its discretion require the Participant to return to the Company any such shares of Common Stock, net of the exercise price paid by the Participant; provided, that if the Participant has disposed of any such shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the Option, then the Committee may require the Participant to pay to the Company, in cash, the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of disposition, net of the exercise price paid by the Participant upon exercise of the Option.

Nature of Operations
Note 1 — Nature of Operations

AmeriGas Partners is a publicly traded limited partnership that conducts a national propane distribution business through its principal operating subsidiary, AmeriGas OLP. AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP are Delaware limited partnerships. AmeriGas Partners, AmeriGas OLP and all of their subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the Partnership.

AmeriGas OLP is engaged in the distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies. AmeriGas OLP comprises the largest retail propane distribution business in the United States serving residential, commercial, industrial, motor fuel and agricultural customers in all 50 states.

At March 31, 2019, the General Partner, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UGI, held a 1% general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners and a 1.01% general partner interest in AmeriGas OLP. The General Partner also owns AmeriGas Partners Common Units. The remaining Common Units outstanding represents publicly held Common Units. AmeriGas Partners holds a 98.99% limited partner interest in AmeriGas OLP.

AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP have no employees. Employees of the General Partner conduct, direct and manage our operations. The General Partner is reimbursed monthly for all direct and indirect expenses it incurs on our behalf (see Note 9).

Proposed Merger

On April 1, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, each outstanding Common Unit other than Common Units owned by UGI and its subsidiaries, including the General Partner, will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each holder of such Common Units, one of the following forms of merger consideration:

(i)0.6378 shares of UGI common stock (such election, a "Share Election," such ratio of shares of UGI common stock received per Common Unit, the "Share Election Exchange Ratio");
(ii)$7.63 in cash, without interest, and 0.500 shares of UGI common stock (such election, a "Mixed Election," such ratio of shares of UGI common stock received per Common Unit, the "Mixed Election Exchange Ratio"); or
(iii)$35.325 in cash, without interest (such election, a "Cash Election").

The merger consideration is subject to proration designed to ensure that the total number of shares of UGI common stock issuable as merger consideration will equal approximately 34.6 million shares, and the amount of cash consideration paid will equal approximately $530,000. Also, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, the General Partner’s 1% economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners, which includes its incentive distribution rights, will convert into (i) 10,615,711 Common Units, which will remain outstanding as partnership interests in AmeriGas Partners, and (ii) a non-economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners.

Completion of the Proposed Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Units; (ii) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement; (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the issuance of shares of UGI common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (iv) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of UGI common stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (v) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the other party; and (vi) compliance by the respective parties in all material respects with their respective covenants.

Upon completion of the Proposed Merger, Common Units will no longer be publicly traded. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Partnership’s unitholders, the Proposed Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019.

See Note 10 for further information on the Proposed Merger.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. They include all adjustments which we consider necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items unless otherwise disclosed. The September 30, 2018, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s 2018 Annual Report. Weather significantly impacts demand for propane and profitability because many customers use propane for heating purposes. Due to the seasonal nature of the Partnership’s propane business, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmeriGas Partners, its majority-owned subsidiary AmeriGas OLP, and its 100%-owned finance subsidiaries AmeriGas Finance Corp., AmeriGas Eagle Finance Corp., AP Eagle Finance Corp., and AmeriGas Finance LLC. AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP are under the common control of the General Partner. The General Partner of AmeriGas OLP, which is also the General Partner of AmeriGas Partners, makes all decisions for AmeriGas OLP; limited partners of AmeriGas OLP do not have the ability to remove the General Partner or participate in the decision-making for AmeriGas OLP. The accounts of AmeriGas OLP are included based upon the determination that AmeriGas Partners has a controlling financial interest in and is the primary beneficiary of AmeriGas OLP. We eliminate intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate.

Revenue Recognition. Effective October 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which, as amended, is included in ASC 606. This new accounting guidance supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605. ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Partnership adopted this new accounting guidance using the modified retrospective transition method to those contracts which were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Periods prior to October 1, 2018, have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605. Upon adoption, there were no cumulative effect adjustments made to the October 1, 2018, partners’ capital balances. The adoption of ASC 606 did not, and is not expected to, have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition and on our consolidated net income, cash flows or financial position.

Certain revenues are not within the scope of ASC 606 such as revenue from leases, financial instruments, other revenues that are not from contracts with customers, and other contractual rights or obligations and we account for such revenues in accordance with other GAAP. Revenue-related taxes collected on behalf of customers and remitted to taxing authorities, principally sales and use taxes, are not included in revenues. The Partnership has elected to use the practical expedient to expense the costs to obtain contracts when incurred as such amounts are generally not material.

See Note 4 for additional disclosures regarding the Partnership’s revenue from contracts with customers.

Allocation of Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. for partners’ capital and statement of operations presentation purposes is allocated to the General Partner and the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages after giving effect to amounts distributed to the General Partner in excess of its 1% general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners based on its IDRs under the Partnership Agreement.

Income (Loss) Per Unit. Income (loss) per limited partner unit is computed in accordance with GAAP regarding the application of the two-class method for determining income (loss) per unit for MLPs when IDRs are present. The two-class method requires that income per limited partner unit be calculated as if all earnings for the period were distributed and requires a separate calculation for each quarter and year-to-date period. In periods when our net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners exceeds our Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and is above certain levels, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an increased allocation of undistributed earnings to the General Partner. Generally, in periods when our Available Cash in respect of the quarter or year-to-date periods exceeds our net income (loss) attributable to AmeriGas Partners, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an allocation of earnings to the General Partner greater than its relative ownership interest in the Partnership (or in the case of a net loss attributable to AmeriGas Partners, an allocation of such net loss to the Common Unitholders greater than their relative ownership interest in the Partnership).

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted income per limited partner unit computations:

Theoretical distributions of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. in accordance with the two-class method resulted in an increased allocation of net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. to the General Partner in the computation of income per limited partner unit which had the effect of decreasing earnings per limited partner unit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, by $0.62 and $0.48, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, by $0.32 and $0.49, respectively

Potentially dilutive Common Units included in the diluted limited partner units outstanding computation reflect the effects of restricted Common Unit awards granted under the General Partner’s incentive compensation plans.

Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values, unless the NPNS exception is elected. The accounting for changes in fair value depends upon the purpose of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies and is designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. We do not currently have derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments are reflected in “Cost of sales — propane” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from commodity derivative instruments are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

For a more detailed description of the derivative instruments we use, our accounting for derivatives, our objectives for using them and other information, see Note 8.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and costs. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may be different from these estimates and assumptions.

Reclassifications. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.

Accounting Changes
Note 3 — Accounting Changes
New Accounting Standards Adopted Effective October 1, 2018

Revenue Recognition. Effective October 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted new accounting guidance regarding revenue recognition. See Notes 2 and 4 for a detailed description of the impact of the new guidance and related disclosures.

Cloud Computing Implementation Costs. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The new guidance requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project. These deferred implementation costs are expensed over the fixed, noncancelable term of the service arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. The new guidance also requires the entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same income statement line as the hosting service fees; to classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments for hosting service fees; and to present the capitalized implementation costs in the balance sheet in the same line item in which prepaid hosting service fees are presented. The new guidance can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We adopted this ASU effective October 1, 2018, and applied the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts incurred beginning October 1, 2018. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Fair Value Measurements Disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning October 1, 2020 (Fiscal 2021). The guidance regarding removing and modifying disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the guidance regarding new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statement disclosures from the adoption of the new guidance and determining the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU amends and simplifies existing guidance to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Partnership for interim and annual periods beginning October 1, 2019 (Fiscal 2020). Early adoption is permitted. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the guidance requires a modified retrospective approach. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required prospectively. The Partnership is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance and determining the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." This ASU, as subsequently updated, amends existing guidance to require entities that lease assets to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Partnership for interim and annual periods beginning October 1, 2019 (Fiscal 2020). Early adoption is permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements unless an entity chooses the transition option in ASU 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements” which, among other things, provides entities with a transition option to recognize the cumulative-effect adjustment from the modified retrospective application to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We will adopt ASU No. 2016-02, as updated, effective October 1, 2019 and expect to elect the transition option which would allow the Partnership to maintain historical presentation for periods before October 1, 2019. The Partnership has completed a preliminary assessment for evaluating the impact of the guidance and anticipates that its adoption will result in a significant amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases in effect at the adoption date. The Partnership has begun implementation activities including accumulating contracts and lease data in formats compatible with a new lease management system that will assist with the initial adoption and future reporting required by the standard.

Revenue From Contracts With Customers

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Partnership generally has the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer for our performance completed to date. As such, we elected to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice.
We do not have a significant financing component in our contracts because we receive payment shortly before, at, or shortly after the transfer of control of the good or service. Because the period between the time the performance obligation is satisfied and payment received is one year or less, the Partnership has elected to apply the significant financing component practical expedient and no amount of consideration has been allocated as a financing component.
The Partnership records revenue principally from the sale of propane to retail and wholesale customers. The primary performance obligation associated with the sale of propane is the delivery of propane to (1) the customer’s point of delivery for retail customers and (2) the customer’s specified location where propane is picked up by wholesale customers, at which point control of the propane is transferred to the customer, the performance obligation is satisfied, and the associated revenue is recognized. For contracts with retail customers that consume propane from a metered tank, the Partnership recognizes revenue as the propane is consumed, at which point we have the right to invoice, and generally invoice monthly based on consumption.
Contracts with customers comprise different types of contracts with varying length terms, fixed or variable prices, and fixed or variable quantities. Contracts with our residential customers, which comprise a substantial number of our customer contracts, are generally one year or less. Customer contracts for the sale of propane include fixed-price, fixed-quantity contracts under which propane is provided to a customer at a fixed price and a fixed volume, and contracts that provide for the sale of propane at market prices at date of delivery with no fixed volumes. The Partnership offers contracts that permit the customer to lock in a fixed price for their volumes for a fee and also provide the customer with the option to pre-buy a fixed amount of propane at a fixed price. Amounts received under pre-buy arrangements are recorded as a contract liability when received and recorded as revenue when propane is delivered and control is transferred to the customer. Fees associated with fixed-price contracts are recorded as contract liabilities and recorded ratably over the contract period.
The Partnership also distributes propane to customers in portable cylinders. Under certain contracts, filled cylinders are delivered, and control is transferred, to a reseller. In such instances, the reseller is our customer and we record revenue upon delivery to the reseller. Under other contracts, filled cylinders are delivered to a reseller, but the Partnership retains control of the cylinders. In such instances, we record revenue at the time the reseller transfers control of the cylinder to the customer.
Certain retail propane customers receive credits which we account for as variable consideration. We estimate these credits based upon past practices and historical customer experience and we reduce our revenues recognized for these credits.
Other revenues from contracts with customers are generated primarily from certain fees the Partnership charges associated with the delivery of propane including hazmat safety compliance, inspection, metering, installation, fuel recovery and certain other services. Revenues from fees are typically recorded when the propane is delivered to the customer or the associated service is completed. Other revenues from contracts with customers are also generated from the Partnership’s parts and service business. The performance obligations of this business include installation and repair services. The performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, and revenue is recognized, as control of the product is transferred or the services are rendered.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers or cash receipts. Contract assets represent the Partnership’s right to consideration after the performance obligations have been satisfied when such right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets were not material at March 31, 2019. Substantially all of the Partnership’s receivables are unconditional rights to consideration and are included in “Accounts receivable” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts billed are generally due within the following month.
Contract liabilities arise when payment from a customer is received before the performance obligations have been satisfied and represent the Partnership’s obligations to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Partnership has received consideration from the customer. The balances of contract liabilities were $41,491 and $93,393 at March 31, 2019 and October 1, 2018, respectively, and are included in “Customer deposits and advances” and “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenue recognized for the six months ended March 31, 2019, from the amount included in contract liabilities at October 1, 2018 was $68,968.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

Saranac Lake Environmental Matter. In 2008, the NYDEC notified AmeriGas OLP that the NYDEC had placed property purportedly owned by AmeriGas OLP in Saranac Lake, New York on the New York State Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites. A site characterization study performed by the NYDEC disclosed contamination related to a former MGP. AmeriGas OLP responded to the NYDEC in 2009 to dispute the contention it was a PRP as it did not operate the MGP and appeared to only own a portion of the site. In 2017, the NYDEC communicated to AmeriGas OLP that the NYDEC had previously issued three RODs related to remediation of the site totaling approximately $27,700 and requested additional information regarding AmeriGas OLP’s purported ownership. AmeriGas renewed its challenge to designation as a PRP and identified potential defenses. The NYDEC subsequently identified a third party PRP with respect to the site.

The NYDEC commenced implementation of the remediation plan in the spring of 2018. Based on our evaluation of the available information, the Partnership accrued an undiscounted environmental remediation liability of $7,545 related to the site during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017. Our share of the actual remediation costs could be significantly more or less than the accrued amount.

Purported Class Action Lawsuits. Between May and October of 2014, purported class action lawsuits were filed in multiple jurisdictions against the Partnership/UGI and a competitor by certain of their direct and indirect customers.  The class action lawsuits allege, among other things, that the Partnership and its competitor colluded, beginning in 2008, to reduce the fill level of portable propane cylinders from 17 pounds to 15 pounds and combined to persuade their common customer, Walmart Stores, Inc., to accept that fill reduction, resulting in increased cylinder costs to retailers and end-user customers in violation of federal and certain state antitrust laws.  The claims seek treble damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs on behalf of the putative classes. 

On October 16, 2014, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred all of these purported class action cases to the Western Missouri District Court.  As the result of rulings on a series of procedural filings, including petitions filed with the Eighth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, both the federal and state law claims of the direct customer plaintiffs and the state law claims of the indirect customer plaintiffs were remanded to the Western Missouri District Court. The decision of the Western Missouri District Court to dismiss the federal antitrust claims of the indirect customer plaintiffs was upheld by the Eighth Circuit. On April 15, 2019, the Western Missouri District Court ruled that it has jurisdiction over the indirect purchasers’ state law claims and that the indirect customer plaintiffs have standing to pursue those claims.
  
We are unable to reasonably estimate the impact, if any, arising from such litigation. We believe we have strong defenses to the claims and intend to vigorously defend against them.

In addition to the matters described above, there are other pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of our businesses. Although we cannot predict the final results of these pending claims and legal actions, we believe, after consultation with counsel, that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

The fair values of our non-exchange traded commodity derivative contracts included in Level 2 are based upon indicative price quotations available through brokers, industry price publications or recent market transactions and related market indicators.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (except for current maturities of long-term debt) approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. We estimate the fair value of long-term debt by using current market rates and by discounting future cash flows using rates available for similar type debt (Level 2). The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities but excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) at March 31, 2019, September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:

Financial instruments other than derivative instruments, such as short-term investments and trade accounts receivable, could expose us to concentrations of credit risk. We limit credit risk from short-term investments by investing only in investment-grade commercial paper, money market mutual funds, securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and FDIC insured bank deposits. The credit risk arising from concentrations of trade accounts receivable is limited because we have a large customer base that extends across many different U.S. markets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Note 8 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Partnership is exposed to certain market risks associated with its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, among other things, to manage these risks. The primary risk managed by derivative instruments is commodity price risk. Although we use derivative financial and commodity instruments to reduce market risk associated with forecasted transactions, we do not use derivative financial and commodity instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The use of derivative instruments is controlled by our risk management and credit policies which govern, among other things, the derivative instruments the Partnership can use, counterparty credit limits and contract authorization limits. Although our commodity derivative instruments extend over a number of years, a significant portion of our commodity derivative instruments economically hedge commodity price risk during the next twelve months.

Commodity Price Risk

In order to manage market risk associated with the Partnership’s fixed-price programs, the Partnership uses over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments, principally price swap contracts, to reduce propane price volatility associated with a portion of forecasted propane purchases. In addition, the Partnership from time to time enters into price swap agreements to reduce the effects of short term commodity price volatility. At March 31, 2019, September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, total volumes associated with propane commodity derivatives totaled 177.3 million gallons, 244.8 million gallons and 151.4 million gallons, respectively. At March 31, 2019, the maximum period over which we are economically hedging propane market price risk is 24 months.

Derivative Instruments Credit Risk

The Partnership is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial and commodity instruments. Our counterparties principally comprise major energy companies and major U.S. financial institutions. We maintain credit policies with regard to our counterparties that we believe reduce overall credit risk. These policies include evaluating and monitoring our counterparties’ financial condition, including their credit ratings, and entering into agreements with counterparties that govern credit limits. Certain of these agreements call for the posting of collateral by the counterparty or by the Partnership in the forms of letters of credit, parental guarantees or cash. Although we have concentrations of credit risk associated with derivative instruments held by certain derivative instrument counterparties, the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that, based upon the gross fair values of the derivative instruments, we would incur if these counterparties that make up the concentration failed to perform according to the terms of their contracts was not material at March 31, 2019. Certain of our derivative contracts have credit-risk-related contingent features that may require the posting of additional collateral in the event of a downgrade in the Partnership’s debt rating. At March 31, 2019, if the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the amount of collateral required to be posted would not be material.

Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Derivative assets and liabilities are presented net by counterparty on the Consolidated Balance Sheets if the right of offset exists. Our derivative instruments comprise over-the-counter transactions. Over-the-counter contracts are bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with a third party. Certain over-the-counter contracts contain contractual rights of offset through master netting arrangements and contract default provisions. In addition, the contracts are subject to conditional rights of offset through counterparty nonperformance, insolvency, or other conditions.
In general, most of our over-the-counter transactions are subject to collateral requirements. Types of collateral generally include cash or letters of credit. Cash collateral paid by us to our over-the-counter derivative counterparties, if any, is reflected in the table below to offset derivative liabilities. Cash collateral received by us from our over-the-counter derivative counterparties, if any, is reflected in the table below to offset derivative assets. Certain other accounts receivable and accounts payable balances recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with our derivative counterparties are not included in the table below but could reduce our net exposure to such counterparties because such balances are subject to master netting or similar arrangements.

We are also a party to a number of contracts that have elements of a derivative instrument. These contracts include, among others, binding purchase orders, contracts that provide for the purchase and delivery of propane and service contracts that require the counterparty to provide commodity storage or transportation service to meet our normal sales commitments. Although certain of these contracts have the requisite elements of a derivative instrument, these contracts qualify for NPNS accounting under GAAP because they provide for the delivery of products or services in quantities that are expected to be used in the normal course of operating our business and the price in the contract is based on an underlying that is directly associated with the price of the product or service being purchased or sold.

UGI bills the General Partner monthly for all direct and indirect corporate expenses incurred in connection with providing these services and the General Partner is reimbursed by the Partnership for these expenses. The allocation of indirect UGI corporate expenses to the Partnership utilizes a weighted, three-component formula based on the relative percentage of the Partnership’s revenues, operating expenses and net assets employed to the total of such items for all UGI operating subsidiaries for which general and administrative services are provided. The General Partner believes that this allocation method is reasonable and equitable to the Partnership. Such corporate expenses totaled $5,037 and $4,305 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $8,980 and $8,018 for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, UGI and certain of its subsidiaries provide office space, stop loss medical coverage and automobile liability insurance to the Partnership. The costs incurred related to these items during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, were not material.

From time to time, AmeriGas OLP purchases propane on an as needed basis from Energy Services. The price of the purchases is generally based on market price at the time of purchase. Purchases of propane by AmeriGas OLP from Energy Services during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were not material.

In addition, the AmeriGas OLP sells propane to affiliates of UGI. Sales of propane to affiliates of UGI during three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were not material.
UGI Standby Commitment to Purchase AmeriGas Partners Class B Common Units
On November 7, 2017, AmeriGas Partners entered into a Standby Equity Commitment Agreement with the General Partner and UGI. Under the terms of the Standby Equity Commitment Agreement, UGI has committed to make up to $225,000 of capital contributions to the Partnership through July 1, 2019. UGI’s capital contributions may be made from time to time through July 1, 2019. There have been no capital contributions made to the Partnership under the Commitment Agreement, and the last date on which AmeriGas Partners may request a capital contribution, without the consent of UGI, is May 17, 2019.
In consideration for any capital contributions pursuant to the Commitment Agreement, the Partnership will issue to UGI or a wholly owned subsidiary new Class B Common Units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. The Class B Common Units will be issued at a price per unit equal to the 20-day volume-weighted average price of the Partnership’s Common Units prior to the date of the Partnership’s related capital call. The Class B Common Units will be entitled to cumulative quarterly distributions at a rate equal to the annualized Common Units yield at the time of the applicable capital call, plus 130 basis points. The Partnership may choose to make the distributions in cash or in kind in the form of additional Class B Common Units. While outstanding, the Class B Common Units will not be subject to any incentive distributions from the Partnership.
Generally, at any time after five years from the initial issuance of the Class B Common Units, holders may elect to convert all or any portion of the Class B Common Units they own into Common Units on a one-for-one basis and at any time after six years from the initial issuance of the Class B Common Units, subject to certain conditions, the Partnership may elect to convert all or any portion of the Class B Common Units into Common Units.

Proposed Merger
Note 10 — Proposed Merger

On April 1, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, each outstanding Common Unit other than Common Units owned by UGI and its subsidiaries, including the General Partner, will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each holder of such Common Units, one of the following forms of merger consideration:

(i)0.6378 shares of UGI common stock;
(ii)$7.63 in cash, without interest, and 0.500 shares of UGI common stock; or
(iii)$35.325 in cash, without interest.

The merger consideration is subject to proration designed to ensure that the total number of shares of UGI common stock issuable as merger consideration will equal approximately 34.6 million shares, and the amount of cash consideration paid will equal approximately $530,000. Also, at the effective time of the Proposed Merger, the General Partner’s 1% economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners, which includes its incentive distribution rights, will convert into (i) 10,615,711 Common Units, which will remain outstanding as partnership interests in AmeriGas Partners, and (ii) a non-economic general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the General Partner will declare and cause to pay regular quarterly cash distributions on outstanding Common Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement in an amount that will not be less than $0.95 per Common Unit. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires that the record date for the quarterly cash distribution related to the quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the closing of the Proposed Merger occurs be designated so that such record date precedes the closing of the Proposed Merger so as to permit the payment of such quarterly distribution to the holders of the Common Units; provided that the AmeriGas Partners’ unitholders are not intended to receive, for any quarter, distributions both in respect of Common Units and also dividends in respect of shares of UGI common stock that they receive in exchange for such Common Units in the transaction.

Completion of the Proposed Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Units; (ii) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement; (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the issuance of shares of UGI common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (iv) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of UGI common stock issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (v) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the other party; and (vi) compliance by the respective parties in all material respects with their respective covenants.

Pursuant to a Support Agreement, the General Partner has agreed to vote all Partnership Common Units that it or its affiliates beneficially own as of the record date of the Special Meeting in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Proposed Merger.

The Merger Agreement provides for certain termination rights for both UGI and the Partnership which, under certain circumstances, would require the Partnership to pay UGI a termination fee of $20,000 and/or reimburse UGI for expenses in an amount not to exceed $5,000 or require UGI to reimburse the Partnership for expenses not to exceed $5,000.

Upon completion of the Proposed Merger, Common Units will no longer be publicly traded. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the approval of the Merger Agreement by AmeriGas Partners’ unitholders, the Proposed Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
6 Months Ended
Mar. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmeriGas Partners, its majority-owned subsidiary AmeriGas OLP, and its 100%-owned finance subsidiaries AmeriGas Finance Corp., AmeriGas Eagle Finance Corp., AP Eagle Finance Corp., and AmeriGas Finance LLC. AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP are under the common control of the General Partner. The General Partner of AmeriGas OLP, which is also the General Partner of AmeriGas Partners, makes all decisions for AmeriGas OLP; limited partners of AmeriGas OLP do not have the ability to remove the General Partner or participate in the decision-making for AmeriGas OLP. The accounts of AmeriGas OLP are included based upon the determination that AmeriGas Partners has a controlling financial interest in and is the primary beneficiary of AmeriGas OLP. We eliminate intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition. Effective October 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which, as amended, is included in ASC 606. This new accounting guidance supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605. ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Partnership adopted this new accounting guidance using the modified retrospective transition method to those contracts which were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Periods prior to October 1, 2018, have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605. Upon adoption, there were no cumulative effect adjustments made to the October 1, 2018, partners’ capital balances. The adoption of ASC 606 did not, and is not expected to, have a material impact on the amount or timing of our revenue recognition and on our consolidated net income, cash flows or financial position.

Certain revenues are not within the scope of ASC 606 such as revenue from leases, financial instruments, other revenues that are not from contracts with customers, and other contractual rights or obligations and we account for such revenues in accordance with other GAAP. Revenue-related taxes collected on behalf of customers and remitted to taxing authorities, principally sales and use taxes, are not included in revenues. The Partnership has elected to use the practical expedient to expense the costs to obtain contracts when incurred as such amounts are generally not material.
Allocation of Net Income (Loss)
Allocation of Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) attributable to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. for partners’ capital and statement of operations presentation purposes is allocated to the General Partner and the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages after giving effect to amounts distributed to the General Partner in excess of its 1% general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners based on its IDRs under the Partnership Agreement.
Income (Loss) Per Unit
Income (Loss) Per Unit. Income (loss) per limited partner unit is computed in accordance with GAAP regarding the application of the two-class method for determining income (loss) per unit for MLPs when IDRs are present. The two-class method requires that income per limited partner unit be calculated as if all earnings for the period were distributed and requires a separate calculation for each quarter and year-to-date period. In periods when our net income attributable to AmeriGas Partners exceeds our Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and is above certain levels, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an increased allocation of undistributed earnings to the General Partner. Generally, in periods when our Available Cash in respect of the quarter or year-to-date periods exceeds our net income (loss) attributable to AmeriGas Partners, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an allocation of earnings to the General Partner greater than its relative ownership interest in the Partnership (or in the case of a net loss attributable to AmeriGas Partners, an allocation of such net loss to the Common Unitholders greater than their relative ownership interest in the Partnership).

Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values, unless the NPNS exception is elected. The accounting for changes in fair value depends upon the purpose of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies and is designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. We do not currently have derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments are reflected in “Cost of sales — propane” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from commodity derivative instruments are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and costs. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may be different from these estimates and assumptions.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.
New Accounting Standards Adopted Effective October 1, 2018 and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
New Accounting Standards Adopted Effective October 1, 2018

Revenue Recognition. Effective October 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted new accounting guidance regarding revenue recognition. See Notes 2 and 4 for a detailed description of the impact of the new guidance and related disclosures.

Cloud Computing Implementation Costs. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The new guidance requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project. These deferred implementation costs are expensed over the fixed, noncancelable term of the service arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. The new guidance also requires the entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same income statement line as the hosting service fees; to classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments for hosting service fees; and to present the capitalized implementation costs in the balance sheet in the same line item in which prepaid hosting service fees are presented. The new guidance can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We adopted this ASU effective October 1, 2018, and applied the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts incurred beginning October 1, 2018. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Fair Value Measurements Disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning October 1, 2020 (Fiscal 2021). The guidance regarding removing and modifying disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the guidance regarding new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statement disclosures from the adoption of the new guidance and determining the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU amends and simplifies existing guidance to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Partnership for interim and annual periods beginning October 1, 2019 (Fiscal 2020). Early adoption is permitted. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the guidance requires a modified retrospective approach. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required prospectively. The Partnership is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance and determining the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." This ASU, as subsequently updated, amends existing guidance to require entities that lease assets to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Partnership for interim and annual periods beginning October 1, 2019 (Fiscal 2020). Early adoption is permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements unless an entity chooses the transition option in ASU 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements” which, among other things, provides entities with a transition option to recognize the cumulative-effect adjustment from the modified retrospective application to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We will adopt ASU No. 2016-02, as updated, effective October 1, 2019 and expect to elect the transition option which would allow the Partnership to maintain historical presentation for periods before October 1, 2019. The Partnership has completed a preliminary assessment for evaluating the impact of the guidance and anticipates that its adoption will result in a significant amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases in effect at the adoption date. The Partnership has begun implementation activities including accumulating contracts and lease data in formats compatible with a new lease management system that will assist with the initial adoption and future reporting required by the standard.
