Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
As previously disclosed on April 26, 2012, we entered into a commitment letter on April 25, 2012 with certain of our lenders who are party to our existing amended and restated credit agreement pursuant to which such lenders committed to provide (i) in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, up to $250.0 million senior secured 364-day incremental term loan facility (the 364-Day Facility) and (ii) an increase in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, of our existing revolving credit facility under the credit agreement from $250.0 million to $400.0 million. We now expect to draw $225.0 million on the 364-Day Facility on the closing date of the acquisition, which, together with available cash, will be used for the purposes of funding 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 our acquisition of the retail propane business of Inergy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (NRGY). We intend to repay such borrowings with an equity financing in the future, subject to market conditions. The updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in Item 9.01 hereto reflects our assumption that we will draw $225.0 million on the 364-Day Facility on the closing date of the acquisition.
Item 9.01. | Financial Statements and Exhibits. |
(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. Such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was updated in Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2012.
On July 6, 2012, Suburban announced that it further increased the interest rates on the notes being offered to NRGY noteholders in the exchange offers for their NRGY notes and further increased the cash consent payment being offered to the NRGY noteholders in connection with the related consent solicitations. Such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was updated in Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 6, 2012.
On July 19, 2012, Suburban announced that it entered into a third amendment (the Amendment No. 3) to the Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2012, as amended on June 15, 2012 and July 6, 2012, with NRGY, Inergy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Inergy Sales & Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Amendment No. 3 provides that up to approximately $87.1 million (subject to adjustment in connection with the completion of Suburbans exchange offers for certain of NRGYs outstanding senior unsecured notes) of the cash consideration to be delivered by Suburban to NRGY pursuant to the Contribution Agreement shall be effected and satisfied by Suburban delivering, or causing to be delivered, to Inergy up to 2,048,282 additional Suburban common units (the Additional Equity Consideration). Updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflecting the terms of Amendment No. 3, specifically the issuance of the Additional Equity Consideration and the decrease in cash consideration paid, was filed as Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 19, 2012. In addition, such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumed a draw of $150.0 million on the 364-Day Facility on the closing date of the acquisition.
As of July 26, 2012 at 5:00 PM New York City time, Suburban received $74.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional notes tendered in its exchange offers for certain of NRGYs outstanding senior unsecured notes. Accordingly, the amount of cash consideration to be paid to tendering NRGY noteholders has increased by approximately $71.7 million and the value of Additional Equity Consideration to be issued on the closing date of the acquisition has decreased to approximately $13.1 million, subject to change based on further additional tenders which are validly made and timely received. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto is updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflecting (i) the issuance of the reduced amount of Additional Equity Consideration as a result of the additional tenders, and (ii) a draw of $225.0 million on the 364-Day Facility on the closing date of the acquisition (reflecting cash consideration due after giving effect to the additional tenders). This updated pro forma financial information replaces the previously provided pro forma financial information in its entirety. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what our actual results of operations or financial position would have been if the acquisition of NRGYs retail propane business had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future operating results or financial position.

Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUBURBAN
On April 25, 2012, Suburban entered into a Contribution Agreement, as amended on June 15, 2012, July 6, 2012 and July 19, 2012 (the Contribution Agreement), with Inergy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Inergy), Inergy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (NRGY GP), and Inergy Sales & Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Inergy Sales).
The Contribution Agreement provides that Inergy and NRGY GP will contribute to Suburban 100% of the limited liability company interests (the Inergy Propane Interests) in Inergy Propane, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which at the closing of the transaction will hold only the following interests: (i) 100% of the limited partner interests in Liberty Propane, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Liberty Propane), which in turn owns 100% of the limited liability company interests in Liberty Propane Operations, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Liberty Operations); and (ii) 100% of the limited liability company interests in Liberty Propane GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Liberty Propane GP), which in turn owns 100% of the general partner interest in Liberty Propane (collectively with the Inergy Propane Interests, these interests are referred to herein as the Acquired Interests). Inergy will also contribute certain assets of Inergy Sales to Suburban (the Acquired Assets). Prior to the closing date of the Inergy Propane Acquisition, certain subsidiaries of Inergy Propane, LLC, which will not be contributed pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, will be distributed by Inergy Propane, LLC to Inergy. Following the closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition (as defined below), Inergy Propane, Liberty Propane, Liberty Operations and Liberty Propane GP will be indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Suburban.
Upon contribution, transfer, assignment, and delivery of the Acquired Interests and Acquired Assets to Suburban, Suburban will issue and deliver to Inergy and Inergy Sales, as consideration in connection with the Inergy Propane Acquisition, subject to certain adjustments, an aggregate of up to 14,200,422 newly issued Suburban common units (the Equity Consideration). The Equity Consideration consists of (i) the Initial Equity Consideration which is equal to 13,892,587 Suburban common units, and (ii) the Additional Equity Consideration which is equal to a number of Suburban common units determined by dividing (a) the Inergy Cash Consideration (as defined below) by (b) $42.50, rounded to the nearest whole Suburban common unit. As of July 26, 2012, the aggregate amount of Additional Equity Consideration shall not exceed 307,835 Suburban common units. Inergy Sales will distribute any and all Suburban common units it receives in connection with the Inergy Propane Acquisition to Inergy. Thereafter, in connection with the Inergy Propane Acquisition and pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Inergy will distribute ninety-nine percent (99%) of any and all Equity Consideration received to its unitholders and will retain one percent (1%) of any and all Equity Consideration.
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Suburban and its wholly-owned subsidiary Suburban Energy Finance Corp. commenced a private offer to exchange (the Exchange Offers) any and all of the outstanding unsecured 7% Senior Notes due 2018 (the 2018 Inergy Notes) and 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2021 (the 2021 Inergy Notes, and together with the 2018 Inergy Notes, the Inergy Notes) issued by Inergy and Inergy Finance Corp., which have an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1.2 billion, for a combination of up to $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of new unsecured 7 1/2% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7 3/8% Senior Notes due 2021, respectively, issued by Suburban and Suburban Energy Finance Corp. (collectively, the SPH Notes) and up to $200.0 million in cash to be paid to tendering noteholders (the Exchange Offer Cash Consideration). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, we must pay Inergy the difference, if any, between $200.0 million and the Exchange Offer Cash Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offers (such payment, the Inergy Cash Consideration). Suburban will satisfy the Inergy Cash Consideration solely by delivering to Inergy the Additional Equity Consideration.
The Contribution Agreement provides that Suburban will offer $65.0 million in aggregate cash consent payments in connection with the Exchange Offers and that Inergy will pay $36.5 million to Suburban in cash at the acquisition closing date.
As of July 26, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, Suburban had received tenders from holders representing approximately 98.09% of the total outstanding principal amount of the 2018 Inergy Notes, and tenders and consents from holders representing approximately 99.73% of the total outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Inergy Notes. The minimum tender condition has been satisfied with respect to the Exchange Offers and requisite consents have been received for both series of Inergy Notes. Based on the results of the Exchange Offers as of July 26, 2012, the Inergy Cash Consideration due to Inergy was approximately $13.1 million. The Inergy Cash Consideration will be satisfied by the issuance of the Additional Equity Consideration. The Exchange Offers expire on August 1, 2012, at 12:01 a.m. New York City time (the Expiration Date), subject to extension. Any additional tenders received prior to the Expiration Date (as it may be extended) will increase the Exchange Offer Cash Consideration paid to tendering noteholders and decrease the Inergy Cash Consideration. Accordingly, because the Inergy Cash Consideration will be satisfied solely through issuance of Additional Equity Consideration, any decrease in the Inergy Cash Consideration will reduce the number of Suburban common units issued as Additional Equity Consideration. Assuming that no additional tenders are received pursuant to the Exchange Offers subsequent to the date hereof, Inergy (i) will receive 14,200,422 Suburban common units, (ii) will subsequently distribute 14,058,418 of such Suburban common units to its unitholders as of the Record Date, pro rata, and (iii) will retain 1% of such common units, or 142,004 Suburban common units.
The transactions described above that are contemplated by the terms of the Contribution Agreement are referred to herein as the Inergy Propane Acquisition. The Acquired Interests and Acquired Assets are collectively referred to herein as Inergy Propane.
As of July 26, 2012, the preliminary fair value of the purchase price for Inergy Propane was $1,832.5 million, consisting of: (i) $1.0 billion of newly issued SPH Notes and $184.7 million in cash to Inergy noteholders pursuant to the Exchange Offers; (ii) $65.0 million in cash to the Inergy noteholders for the consent payments pursuant to the Consent Solicitations; and (iii) $619.3 million of new Suburban common units, which will be distributed to Inergy and Inergy Sales, all but $6.2 million of which will subsequently be distributed by Inergy to its unitholders. The preliminary fair value of the purchase price is net of the $36.5 million of cash to be received from Inergy upon closing of the Inergy Propane Acquisition pursuant to the Contribution Agreement Amendment.
On April 25, 2012, we entered into a commitment letter (the Bank Commitment Letter) with certain of our lenders who are party to the Credit Agreement (as defined herein) pursuant to which such lenders committed to provide (i) in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, up to $250.0 million senior secured 364-day incremental term loan facility (the 364-Day Facility) and (ii) an increase in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, of our existing revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement from $250.0 million to $400.0 million (the Commitment Increase). We expect to draw $225.0 million on the 364-Day Facility on the Acquisition Closing Date, which, together with available cash, will be used for the purposes of paying (i) the Exchange Offer Cash Consideration, (ii) costs and fees related to the Exchange Offers, and (iii) costs and expenses related to the Inergy Propane Acquisition. We intend to repay such borrowings with an equity financing in the future, subject to market conditions. The following pro form financial information reflects borrowings of $225.0 million under the 364-Day Facility.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Suburban has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Inergy Propane Acquisition on us 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. for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the quarterly period ended March 24, 2012, both of which are included in this prospectus; 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, both of which are included in this prospectus. |

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the following 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 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 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 (including completion of the Exchange Offers assuming that no Inergy Notes are tendered subsequent to the consent date and $225.0 million of borrowings under the 364-Day Facility as described above); |
| 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 borrowing 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.
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 in this prospectus.
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 participating in the Exchange Offers on the Acquisition Closing Date.

In accordance with the Contribution Agreement, the number of Suburban common units to be issued to Inergy and Inergy Sales as Initial Equity Consideration 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 number of additional units to be issued to Inergy as Additional Equity Consideration is determined by dividing the Inergy Cash Consideration by $42.50. On July 26, 2012, the Inergy Cash Consideration was estimated to be $13,083, which results in the issuance of 308 additional common units. A decrease in the Inergy Cash Consideration will result in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a corresponding decrease in partners capital.
The pro forma adjustment regarding the 14,201 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 July 26, 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 amounts 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 $61,928 in the final purchase price allocation.

Borrowing under the 364-Day Facility bears interest at prevailing interest rates based upon 3-month LIBOR, which was approximately 0.5% as of July 26, 2012, plus 300 basis points. Accordingly, interest expense on borrowing of $225,000 for the full term of the 364-Day Facility would approximate $7,875 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 July 26, 2012, annual interest expense would increase or decrease by $281.
