Key Terms
tender offerfinancial
A tender offer is a proposal made by a person or company to buy shares from existing shareholders at a set price, usually higher than the current market value, within a specific time frame. It matters to investors because it can lead to a change in ownership or control of a company, and shareholders must decide whether to sell their shares at the offered price.
senior notesfinancial
Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.
guaranteed delivery proceduresfinancial
Guaranteed delivery procedures are a settlement arrangement that lets a buyer or seller complete a trade even when the actual shares or cash cannot be delivered immediately, by promising to provide them within a short, specified window. For investors this works like reserving and paying for an item that will be shipped later: it reduces the risk of a failed trade and allows participation in offerings or market trades despite paperwork or transfer delays, but it also means you should watch the final settlement date and counterparty obligations.
indenturefinancial
An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds. It explains the rules the company must follow, like paying back the money and keeping certain financial promises. This document helps both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.
notice of redemptionfinancial
A notice of redemption is a formal announcement from a bond or preferred-stock issuer that it will repay and retire those securities on a specified date and at a specified price, telling holders which issues will be called and when. It matters to investors because it changes the timing and amount of expected cash flows—like a store buying back a gift card early, you get your money sooner but may lose future income and must find a new place to reinvest.
dealer managerfinancial
A dealer manager is a financial firm — often a broker-dealer or investment bank — that organizes, markets and coordinates the sale of a new securities offering (such as bonds or structured products) to other brokers and investors. Think of it as the project manager and sales team for the deal: its pricing choices, marketing reach and allocation decisions influence how widely the issue is distributed, how competitively it is priced, and how easy it is for investors to buy or sell afterward.
information agentfinancial
An information agent is a person, team, or third-party service designated to collect, verify and distribute a company’s important announcements, filings or notices to regulators, shareholders and the public. Think of it as the company’s official mailroom and translator combined—responsible for making sure the right facts get to the right people quickly and accurately; investors watch who serves this role because mistakes or delays can affect compliance, market reaction and trust.
cusipfinancial
A CUSIP is a nine-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a U.S. or Canadian financial security—such as a stock, bond, or fund share—like a Social Security number for an investment. It matters to investors because brokers, exchanges and record-keepers use the CUSIP to match trades, track ownership, settle transactions and pull accurate records, reducing errors and ensuring money and securities go to the right place.
VALLEY FORGE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
UGI Corporation (NYSE: UGI) announced today that its subsidiaries, AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“AmeriGas Partners”) and AmeriGas Finance Corp. (together with AmeriGas Partners, the “Offerors”), have received, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 15, 2026 (the “Expiration Time”), tenders from holders of $468,471,000 in aggregate principal amount (excluding tenders through guaranteed delivery procedures), representing approximately 91.51%, of the Offerors’ 5.750% Senior Notes due 2027 (CUSIP: 030981 AL8) (the “2027 Notes”), in connection with its previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), which commenced on May 11, 2026 and is described in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 11, 2026, and the related Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (the “Offer Documents”).
The Offerors’ obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any 2027 Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, including the Offerors’ successful completion of one or more debt financing transactions, in an amount sufficient, together with cash previously received by AmeriGas Partners in connection with an equity contribution by its parent, originally funded by UGI International, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of UGI Corporation, and cash on hand, to (i) fund the purchase of validly tendered 2027 Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer, and the redemption of any such 2027 Notes remaining thereafter, (ii) fund the repurchase of up to $175 million aggregate principal amount of the Offerors’ 9.375% Senior Notes due 2028, (iii) repay $150 million in outstanding indebtedness under the intercompany loan between AmeriGas Partners and UGI International, LLC and (iv) pay all related fees and expenses associated with the foregoing.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, the settlement date for the 2027 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Expiration Time or pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer is expected to occur on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 (the “Settlement Date”). 2027 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase will receive total consideration of $1,011.18 for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Settlement Date for such 2027 Notes accepted for purchase.
Substantially concurrently with the commencement of the Tender Offer, the Offerors issued a conditional notice of full redemption to redeem any 2027 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer and that remain outstanding pursuant to the indenture governing the 2027 Notes.
