UGI International Prices Senior Notes Offering

 

VALLEY FORGE, PA., October 18, 2018 — UGI Corporation (“UGI” or the “Company”) (NYSE: UGI) announced today that its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, UGI International, LLC (“UGI International”), priced its offering of €350,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The Notes are being offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of UGI International that will guarantee UGI International’s obligations under a new €300,000,000 senior unsecured term loan facility and a new €300,000,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the “New Credit Facilities”), which are expected to be entered into in connection with the Notes offering, but will not be guaranteed by the Company. UGI International expects to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with proceeds from the New Credit Facilities and cash on hand, to repay the outstanding indebtedness of certain of UGI International’s subsidiaries and to pay fees and expenses related to the transactions. The remainder of the net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes.  The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about October 25, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions and to UGI International’s entry into the New Credit Facilities.  UGI International’s entry into the New Credit Facilities is conditioned upon the consummation of the Notes offering.

 

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
