Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 15, 2012, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Suburban) entered into an amendment (the CA Amendment) to the Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2012 with Inergy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (NRGY), Inergy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Inergy Sales & Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The CA Amendment provides that Suburban will offer $50.0 million in aggregate cash consent payments in connection with Suburbans previously announced exchange offers and consent solicitations for NRGY Notes relating to the planned acquisition of NRGYs retail propane operations (the Inergy Propane Acquisition) and that NRGY will pay $14.75 million to Suburban in cash at closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition. The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the CA Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the CA Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 15, 2012, Suburban issued a press release relating to the previously announced exchange offers and consent solicitations in connection with the planned acquisition of NRGYs retail propane operations. In the press release, Suburban announced that it had extended the consent date and expiration date, increased the cash consent payment, increased the coupon of the notes being offered and modified certain other terms in the exchange offers and consent solicitations. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Following discussions with certain NRGY noteholders, Suburban has increased by 0.25% the interest rates on both series of new notes being offered in the exchange offers. Suburban is now proposing to issue 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2021 in the exchange offers. The 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2018 will be issued only in exchange for NRGYs 7% Senior Notes due 2018 and the 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2021 will be issued only in exchange for NRGYs 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2021.
In addition, Suburban announced that it is now offering to pay an aggregate of $50.0 million in cash to holders of NRGY notes, on a pro rata basis, who deliver a valid consent by the new consent date. Assuming that consents are validly delivered for all $1.2 billion of the NRGY notes, the cash consent payment will be approximately $41.67 per $1,000 principal amount of NRGY notes as to which a holder delivers a valid consent by the consent date. Assuming that consents are validly delivered for $1.0 billion of the NRGY notes, the cash consent payment will be $50 per $1,000 principal amount of NRGY notes as to which a holder delivers a valid consent by the consent date.
Updated pro forma financial information showing the effect of these modifications to the terms of the exchange offers and consent solicitations has been included in Item 9.01(b) of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements. Some of these statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as prospects, outlook, believes, estimates, contemplates, intends, may, will, should, anticipates, expects or plans or the negative or other variation of these or similar words, or by discussion of trends and conditions, strategies or risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or implied in such forward-looking statements. They include statements regarding the timing and expected benefits to Suburban of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, and also include statements relating to or regarding:
| the cost savings, transaction costs or integration costs that Suburban anticipates to arise from the Inergy Propane Acquisition; |
| various actions to be taken or requirements to be met in connection with completing the Inergy Propane Acquisition or integrating the operations of Inergy Propane into Suburbans operations; |
| revenue, income and operations of the combined company after the Inergy Propane Acquisition is consummated; |
| future issuances of debt and equity securities and Suburbans ability to achieve financing in connection with the Inergy Propane Acquisition or otherwise; and |
| other objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. |
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, including those discussed in the Risk Factors sections of Suburbans filings with the SEC, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements:
| expected cost savings from the Inergy Propane Acquisition may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; |
| Suburbans revenue following the Inergy Propane Acquisition may be lower than expected; |
| adverse weather conditions may occur resulting in reduced demand; |
| costs or difficulties related to obtaining regulatory approvals for completing the Inergy Propane Acquisition and, following the consummation of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, the integration of the businesses of Inergy Propane and Suburban may be greater than expected; |
| general economic conditions, either internationally or nationally or in the jurisdictions in which Suburban is doing business, may be less favorable than expected; |
| Suburban may be unable to retain key personnel after the Inergy Propane Acquisition; |
| operating, legal and regulatory risks; and |
| whether the transactions described herein will in fact be consummated on these or different terms or at all. |
These risks and other factors that may impact Suburbans assumptions are more particularly described under the captions Risk Factors in Suburbans filings with the SEC, including under the caption Risk Factors in Suburbans Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011. While Suburban believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors on, and it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect, Suburbans actual results. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Suburban or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. None of Suburban or any other party undertakes any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
In addition to the foregoing factors, the consummation of the Inergy Propane Acquisition is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including uncertainties as to the timing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, the possibility that the various closing conditions for the Inergy Propane Acquisition may not be satisfied or waived, the possibility that the exchange offers will not be consummated, and the possibility that Suburban will be unable to achieve the financing necessary to consummate the Inergy Propane Acquisition.

(b) Pro forma financial information
On May 3, 2012, Suburban filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that included in Exhibit 99.3 unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of and for the six months ended March 24, 2012 and for the year ended September 24, 2011. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared to give effect to the acquisition of NRGYs retail propane business.
On June 15, 2012, Suburban announced that it increased the interest rates on the notes being offered to NRGY noteholders in the exchange offers for their NRGY notes and increased the cash consent payment being offered to the NRGY noteholders in connection with the related consent solicitations.

EXHIBIT 99.1
Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. Extends Consent Date and Expiration Date and Modifies Terms of
Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations in Connection with its Planned Acquisition of Inergy,
L.P.s Retail Propane Operations
Whippany, New Jersey, June 15, 2012 Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SPH), a nationwide distributor of propane, fuel oil and related products and services, as well as a marketer of natural gas and electricity (the Partnership), today announced that it and Suburban Energy Finance Corp. (collectively, Suburban) have extended the consent date (the Consent Date) and the expiration date (the Expiration Date), increased the coupon of the SPH Notes (defined below) and Cash Consent Payment (as defined below) and modified certain other terms for their previously announced offers to exchange (the Exchange Offers) and related consent solicitations (the Consent Solicitations) in connection with certain outstanding notes of Inergy, L.P.
Following discussions with certain Inergy, L.P. noteholders, Suburban is now offering to exchange any and all of the outstanding 7% Senior Notes due 2018 and 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2021 issued by Inergy, L.P. and Inergy Finance Corp. (collectively, the Inergy Notes), which have an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1.2 billion, for a combination of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of new unsecured 7 1/4 % Senior Notes due 2018 and 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2021 (collectively, the SPH Notes), respectively, issued by Suburban and $200.0 million in cash. The revised terms of the SPH Notes reflect an increase in the interest rates on the SPH Notes of 0.25% as compared with the terms of the securities as previously offered. The revised terms of the SPH Notes also include certain covenant changes.
In addition, Suburban announced that it is now offering to pay an aggregate of $50.0 million in cash to holders of Inergy Notes, on a pro rata basis, who deliver a valid consent by the new Consent Date (the Cash Consent Payment). Assuming that consents are validly delivered (and accepted) for all $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of the Inergy Notes, the Cash Consent Payment will be approximately $41.67 per $1,000 principal amount of Inergy Notes as to which a holder delivers a valid consent by the Consent Date. If consents are validly delivered (and accepted) for $1.0 billion of aggregate principal amount of the Inergy Notes, the Cash Consent Payment will be $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Inergy Notes as to which a holder delivers a valid consent by the Consent Date. Holders who have previously tendered Inergy Notes in the Exchange Offers, and delivered consents with respect thereto in the Consent Solicitations, will share pro rata in the increased Cash Consent Payment, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. Suburban continues to reserve the right to lower the minimum tender condition requiring the tender of at least $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Inergy Notes.
The Consent Date has been extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 21, 2012. The Expiration Date has been extended to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 6, 2012, unless extended or terminated. As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2012, approximately 34% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Inergy Notes had been tendered.
Updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflecting the modifications to the terms of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations has been included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Partnerships Current Report on Form 8-K filed on todays date.
Suburban is making the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations in connection with, and conditioned upon, among other things, its consummation of the acquisition of Inergy, L.P.s retail propane operations.
The SPH Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state or foreign securities laws. The SPH Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

EXHIBIT 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUBURBAN
On April 25, 2012, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (Suburban) entered into a definitive agreement (the Contribution Agreement) with Inergy, L.P. (Inergy), Inergy GP, LLC and Inergy Sales and Service, Inc. (Inergy Sales) to acquire the sole membership interest in Inergy Propane, LLC, including certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Inergy Propane, LLC, and certain assets of Inergy Sales (such interests and assets collectively, Inergy Propane) for a total acquisition value of approximately $1.8 billion (as determined on that date) consisting of: (i) $1.0 billion of newly issued Suburban senior notes and $200.0 million in cash; and, (ii) $600.0 million of new Suburban common units, which will be distributed to Inergy and Inergy Sales, all but $6.0 million of which will subsequently be distributed by Inergy to its unitholders (the Inergy Propane Acquisition). At the time of the closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, and following certain pre-closing transactions, Inergy Propane will consist of the retail propane assets and operations of Inergy.
Prior to the closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, Inergy Propane will transfer its interest in certain subsidiaries, as well as all of its rights and interests in the assets and properties of its wholesale propane supply, marketing and distribution business, and its rights and interest in the assets and properties of its West Coast natural gas liquids business, to Inergy. These assets and operations will not be part of the Inergy Propane business at the time of the transfer of the membership interest in Inergy Propane, LLC to Suburban and will not be part of the Inergy Propane Acquisition. Following the Inergy Propane Acquisition, Inergy Propane, LLC, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries that are part of the Inergy Propane Acquisition will become subsidiaries of Suburban.
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, on May 3, 2012 Suburban and its wholly-owned subsidiary Suburban Energy Finance Corporation commenced an offer to exchange any and all of the outstanding unsecured 7% Senior Notes due 2018 and 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2021 issued by Inergy, L.P. and Inergy Finance Corp., which have an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1.2 billion (collectively, the Inergy Notes), for a combination of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of new unsecured 7% Senior Notes due 2018 and 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2021 issued by Suburban and Suburban Energy Finance Corporation and $200.0 million in cash (the Exchange Offers). In connection with the Exchange Offers, Suburban is soliciting consents to amend the Inergy Notes and the indentures governing the Inergy Notes. The proposed amendments, with respect to each series of the Inergy Notes, which require the consent of a majority in outstanding principal amount of such series of Inergy Notes, would (i) delete in their entirety substantially all the restrictive covenants, (ii) modify the covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and (iii) eliminate certain events of default.
On June 15, 2012, Suburban and Suburban Energy Finance Corporation further amended and supplemented the Exchange Offers to, among other things, increase the cash consent payment offered to Inergy noteholders to $50.0 million and to increase the interest rates on the SPH Notes being offered by 0.25%. Subject to certain conditions and assuming $1.2 billion principal amount of Inergy Notes are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the consent date, holders of Inergy Notes who deliver valid consents by the consent date will receive a cash payment of approximately $41.67 per each $1,000 principal amount of Inergy Notes as to which a holder delivers a valid consent. Suburban and Suburban Energy Finance Corporation are offering to issue 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2021. The 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2018 will be issued only in exchange for Inergys 7% Senior Notes due 2018 and the 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2021 will be issued only in exchange for Inergys 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2021. Additionally, on June 15, 2012, the Contribution Agreement was amended (the Contribution Agreement Amendment) to provide that Suburban will pay the $50.0 million cash consent payment and Inergy will pay $14.8 million to Suburban at closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition.
As of June 12, 2012, the preliminary fair value of the purchase price for Inergy Propane was $1,759.0 million, consisting of: (i) $1.0 billion of newly issued Suburban senior notes and $200.0 million in cash to Inergy noteholders pursuant to the Exchange Offers; (ii) $50.0 million in cash to the Inergy noteholders for consent fees pursuant to the Consent Solicitations; and, (iii) $523.8 million of new Suburban common units, which will be distributed to Inergy and Inergy Sales, all but $5.2 million of which will subsequently be distributed by Inergy to its unitholders. The preliminary fair value of the purchase price will be offset by $14.8 million of cash to be received from Inergy upon closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition pursuant to the Contribution Agreement Amendment.
In connection with the Inergy Propane Acquisition and concurrently with the Exchange Offers, Suburban will seek equity financing of approximately $250.0 million for the purposes of funding the cash consideration in the Exchange Offers, as well as the costs and expenses associated with the Exchange Offers and costs and expenses associated with the consummation of the Inergy Propane Acquisition. Any net proceeds not so applied will be used for general partnership purposes.
On April 25, 2012 Suburban also entered into a commitment letter with certain lenders who are party to the Partnerships existing credit agreement pursuant to which such lenders committed to provide Suburban with a $250.0 million senior secured 364-day incremental term loan facility (the 364-Day Facility). The 364-Day Facility will be available in the event that the equity financing transaction is not consummated by the closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Inergy Propane Acquisition by Suburban and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Suburban and Inergy Propane and should be read in conjunction with the:
| audited annual financial statements and the accompanying notes of Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 24, 2012; and |
| audited historical financial statements and accompanying notes of Inergy Propane, LLC as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2011, and the unaudited interim historical financial statements and accompanying notes for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, which is included in Suburbans Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 3, 2012. |
The Suburban historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give pro forma effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the Inergy Propane Acquisition and related financing, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of Suburban. Although Suburban has entered into the Contribution Agreement with Inergy, there is no guarantee that the Inergy Propane Acquisition will be completed in the manner contemplated or at all. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been prepared assuming the Inergy Propane Acquisition had been completed on September 26, 2010, the first day of Suburbans 2011 fiscal year. The Suburban unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been prepared assuming the Inergy Propane Acquisition had been completed on March 24, 2012, the last day of Suburbans 2012 second fiscal quarter. The Suburban unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted with respect to certain aspects of the Inergy Propane Acquisition to reflect:
| the consummation of the Inergy Propane Acquisition; |
| exclusion of historical assets and liabilities of Inergy Propane, LLC not acquired or assumed as part of the Inergy Propane Acquisition and changes in certain revenues and expenses resulting from the exclusion of these assets and liabilities; |
| re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of Inergy Propane (as disclosed in more detail below) to record their preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition and adjustment of certain expenses resulting therefrom; |
| additional indebtedness, including, but not limited to, debt issuance costs and interest expense, incurred in connection with the exchange of Inergy Notes for the SPH Notes; |
| additional indebtedness, including, but not limited to, debt issuance costs and interest expense incurred in connection with borrowings under the 364-Day Facility; |
| no tax adjustments were made as Suburban is a publicly traded master limited partnership and has no substantial federal or state income tax liability. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The pro forma information presented, including allocation of the purchase price, is based on preliminary estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Inergy Propane Acquisition. These preliminary estimates are based on available information and certain assumptions that may be revised as additional information becomes available.
2
The final purchase price allocation for the Inergy Propane Acquisition will be dependent upon the finalization of asset and liability valuations, which may depend in part on prevailing market rates and conditions, as well as the final form of financing that Suburban will utilize to effect the Inergy Propane Acquisition. Any final adjustments may be materially different from the preliminary estimates, and may result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein.
We believe that the assumptions used to derive the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are reasonable given the information available; however, such assumptions are subject to change and the effect of any such change could be material. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations that would have been reported had the Inergy Propane Acquisition been completed as of or for the periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the purchase price is subject to adjustment for working capital and certain liabilities of Inergy Propane that are being assumed by Suburban in the Inergy Propane Acquisition. These liabilities consist primarily of non-interest bearing obligations due under non-competition agreements between Inergy Propane and the sellers of retail propane companies acquired by Inergy Propane in the past, as well as certain other accrued liabilities. The actual amounts of these adjustments will depend on the fair value of the working capital and the fair value of the assumed liabilities on the closing date of the Inergy Propane Acquisition.
In addition, on the closing date of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, Inergy will provide Suburban with cash in an amount equal to the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on the Inergy Notes through the closing date of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, which Suburban will distribute to the Inergy noteholders whose Inergy Notes are exchanged on the settlement date.
Note 2. Represents the historical consolidated results of operations and financial position of Suburban.

Note 13. Reflects the issuance of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of SPH Notes. The fair value of the SPH Notes to be issued to Inergy noteholders on the closing date of the Inergy Propane Acquisition will be used for the final purchase price allocation for the Inergy Propane Acquisition, which may be different than the $1,000,000 reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation and pro forma adjustment above.

|
|
|
|
In accordance with the Contribution Agreement, the number of Suburban common units to be issued to Inergy and Inergy Sales in the aggregate is determined by dividing $600,000 by the average of the high and low sales prices of Suburbans common units for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the execution of the Contribution Agreement, which was determined to be $43.1885, resulting in 13,893 common units.
The pro forma adjustment regarding the 13,893 Suburban common units to be issued to Inergy and Inergy Sales was determined based on the reported closing price of a Suburban common unit on the New York Stock Exchange on June 12, 2012. The fair value of the Suburban common units on the closing date of the Inergy Propane Acquisition will be used for the final purchase price allocation for the Inergy Propane Acquisition, which may be different than the $523,751 reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation and pro forma adjustment above. If the fair value of Suburbans common units on the closing date of the Inergy Propane Acquisition are 10% higher or lower than the preliminary fair value used for the preliminary valuation of the total purchase price of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, goodwill will increase (if higher) or decrease (if lower) by $52,375 in the final purchase price allocation.

On June 15, 2012, the Exchange Offers were amended to offer 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2021. The 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2018 will be issued only in exchange for Inergys 7% Senior Notes due 2018 and the 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2021 will be issued only in exchange for Inergys 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2021. All references to the SPH Notes in the Exchange Offers shall be deemed to refer to the 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2018 and the 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2021, collectively, which will accrue interest at the rate of 7.25% and 7.125% per annum, respectively.
Borrowings under the 364-Day Facility bear interest at prevailing interest rates based upon 3-month LIBOR, which was approximately 0.5% as of June 12, 2012, plus 300 basis points. Accordingly, interest expense on borrowings of $250,000 for the full term of the facility would approximate $8,750 using an interest rate of 3.5%. If the 3-month LIBOR increased or decreased by 12.5 basis points from the rate as of June 12, 2012, interest expense would increase or decrease by $313.
