Note 8 — Debt

AmeriGas Partners Senior Notes. On May 31, 2023, AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas Finance Corp. issued $500 principal amount of 9.375% Senior Notes due May 2028. The 9.375% Senior Notes rank equally with AmeriGas Partners’ existing and future outstanding senior notes. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 9.375% Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, a $150 cash contribution from the Company and other sources of liquidity, were used for the early repayment, pursuant to a tender offer and notice of redemption, of all AmeriGas Partners 5.625% Senior Notes having an aggregate principal balance of $675, plus tender premiums and accrued and unpaid interest. In conjunction with the early repayment of the 5.625% Senior Notes, in June 2023 the Partnership recognized a pre-tax loss of $9 primarily comprising tender premiums and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, which is reflected in “Loss on extinguishments of debt” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

The 9.375% Senior Notes are redeemable at the issuers’ option prior to June 2025 at a make whole premium or, on or after June 2025, at a call premium that declines from 4.688% to 0% depending on the year of redemption.

The 9.375% Senior Notes indenture contains customary covenants and default provisions that limit AmeriGas Partners’ ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; create or incur liens; engage in transactions with affiliates; engage in mergers or consolidations or sell all or substantially all of the issuers’ assets; make restricted payments, loans and investments; enter into business combinations and sell assets; and engage in other lines of business.

2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement. Under the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement, AmeriGas OLP, as borrower, is required to comply with financial covenants related to leverage and interest coverage measured at the Partnership and at AmeriGas OLP. The 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement contains an equity cure provision, which allows AmeriGas OLP’s direct or indirect parent, including UGI and its other subsidiaries, to fund capital contributions to eliminate any EBITDA (as defined in the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement) shortfalls that would otherwise result in non-compliance with these financial covenants. Each equity cure is eligible to eliminate such EBITDA shortfalls up to four quarters after contribution. We are permitted to use the equity cure provision five times over the course of the Credit Agreement, twice during any rolling four-quarter period, and not in consecutive quarters.

As of March 31, 2023, AmeriGas OLP was in breach of the leverage ratio debt covenant and interest coverage ratio, which it cured with the funds received from UGI. UGI made capital contributions to AmeriGas OLP of $20 and $11 on March 31, 2023 and April 24, 2023, respectively, which in aggregate represented one equity cure in accordance with the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement. As a result of these capital contributions, AmeriGas OLP and the Partnership were in compliance with all financial covenants after consideration of the equity cure provision as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

UGI also provided an irrevocable letter of support whereby UGI has committed to fund any such EBITDA shortfalls and debt service, if any. Based on the support and the projected EBITDA, AmeriGas OLP is expected to remain in compliance with its financial debt covenants for the succeeding twelve-month period. In addition, in May 2023, the Company contributed $52 in an equity contribution principally to fund debt service on the senior notes.
