EXPLANATORY NOTE — DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”), originally filed by AmeriGas Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AmeriGas”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

 

•

Registration Statement No. 333-168604, filed on August 6, 2010, registering 1,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests (the “Common Units”) of AmeriGas under the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P.;

 

•

Registration Statement No. 333-104939, filed on May 2, 2003, registering 700,000 Common Units under the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan on behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. and the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Discretionary Long-Term Incentive Plan for Non-Executive Key Employees; and

 

•

Registration Statement No. 333-78875, filed on May 20, 1999, registering 81,226 Common Units under the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan on behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P.

On August 21, 2019, the common unitholders of AmeriGas approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 1, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among UGI Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“UGI”), AmeriGas Propane Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI, AmeriGas Propane Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI (“Merger Sub”), AmeriGas Propane, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and the general partner of AmeriGas, and AmeriGas. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into AmeriGas, with AmeriGas surviving the Merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding Common Unit, other than those held by UGI or any of its subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive, at the election of such AmeriGas unitholder, but subject to any applicable withholding tax and proration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, one of the following forms of consideration: (i) 0.6378 shares of UGI common stock (“UGI Shares”); (ii) $7.63 in cash, without interest, and 0.500 UGI Shares; or (iii) $35.325 in cash, without interest. In each case, cash in lieu of any fractional UGI Shares, without interest, will be paid.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, AmeriGas terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with undertakings made by AmeriGas in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of such offering, AmeriGas hereby removes from registration all of such securities of AmeriGas registered but unsold under the Registration Statements.
