Significant Financing Activities

The following significant financing activities occurred during Fiscal 2024.

UGI Corporation Credit Facility Agreement. On April 30, 2024, UGI entered into the fourth amendment to the UGI Corporation Credit Facility Agreement which extended the maturity date of a substantial portion of the (1) $215 delayed draw term loan facility, (2) $300 term loan facility, (3) $250 term loan facility, and (4) $300 revolving credit facility to August 2025. In addition, the fourth amendment to the UGI Corporation Credit Facility Agreement increased the applicable rate (as defined in
the amended UGI Corporation Credit Facility Agreement) of the $215 delayed draw term loan facility, and the $300 term loan facility by 0.375%.

Mountaineer Credit Agreement. On April 26, 2024, Mountaineer entered into the fourth amendment to the Mountaineer Credit Agreement, which extends the maturity date of the agreement from November 2024 to December 2025. The applicable margin remains unchanged from the original credit agreement.

AmeriGas Partners Senior Notes. In March 2024, AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas Finance Corp entered into separate, privately negotiated repurchase agreements with a limited number of holders of the outstanding senior notes to repurchase $38 aggregate principal amount of the senior notes. AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas Finance Corp repurchased $7, $11, $13, and $7 par value of its issued and outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes, 5.875% Senior Notes, 5.75% Senior Notes, and 9.375% Senior Notes, respectively. Following these repurchases, $2,362 aggregate principal amount of these senior notes remain outstanding at March 31, 2024.
UGI Utilities Senior Notes. On November 30, 2023, UGI Utilities entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with a consortium of lenders. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, UGI Utilities issued (1) $25 aggregate principal amount of 6.02% Senior Notes due November 30, 2030; (2) $150 aggregate principal amount of 6.10% Senior Notes due November 30, 2033; and (3) $75 aggregate principal amount of 6.40% Senior Notes due November 30, 2053. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants and default provisions and requires compliance with certain financial covenants including a leverage ratio and priority debt ratio as defined in the agreement. These senior notes are unsecured and rank equally with UGI Utilities’ existing outstanding senior debt. The net proceeds from these issuances were used to reduce short-term borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
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.

UGI made capital contributions to AmeriGas OLP during Fiscal 2023, a portion of which represented one equity cure that was eligible to eliminate any EBITDA shortfalls through December 31, 2023, in accordance with the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement. As a result of such capital contributions, AmeriGas OLP and the Partnership were in compliance with all financial covenants after consideration of the equity cure provision as of December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Partnership was in compliance with all debt covenants as set forth in the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement without the consideration of the equity cure provision. The financial covenant leverage ratio under the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2024 must be no greater than 5.75, with a decrease to 5.50 beginning in September 2024. The actual leverage ratio as of March 31, 2024 was 5.74.
UGI 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.

On November 15, 2023, the Partnership entered into an amendment to the 2022 AmeriGas OLP Credit Agreement, which amends certain provisions of the credit agreement to, among other things, (i) reduce the maximum revolver amount from $600 to $400, (ii) reduce the minimum interest coverage ratio, effective for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023 through the end of Fiscal 2024 and (iii) provided that, beginning for the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, the minimum interest coverage ratio will remain reduced if the net leverage ratio is below a certain threshold as defined by the agreement; if the net leverage ratio exceeds such threshold, the minimum interest coverage ratio will revert to the original ratio as defined by the agreement.
UGI Utilities 2023 Credit Agreement. On November 9, 2023, UGI Utilities entered into the UGI Utilities 2023 Credit Agreement providing for borrowings up to $375 (including a $50 sublimit for letters of credit and a $38 sublimit for swingline loans). UGI Utilities may request an increase in the amount of loan commitments under the credit agreement to a maximum
aggregate amount of $125. The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the UGI Utilities 2023 Credit Agreement remain unchanged from its predecessor agreement, the UGI Utilities Credit Agreement. The UGI Utilities 2023 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and default provisions and requires compliance with certain financial covenants including a maximum debt to capitalization ratio as defined in the agreement. The credit agreement is scheduled to expire November 2028. Borrowings under the credit agreement may be used to refinance UGI Utilities existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes and ongoing working capital needs of UGI Utilities.
