The private placement of the Notes is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Funding of the Notes occurred on August 11, 2026. Interest payments on the Notes will be payable semiannually on August 15th and February 15th of each year. The Notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of UGI Utilities, ranking pari passu in all respects with UGI Utilities’ existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. If any subsidiary guarantees or otherwise becomes liable for UGI Utilities’ obligations under a primary credit facility, the subsidiary will provide a guaranty of payment of the Notes and compliance with the Utilities Note Purchase Agreement. Proceeds from the Notes will be used primarily to refinance indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The pricing of the Notes occurred on July 23, 2026.

The Utilities Note Purchase Agreement also contains restrictive and financial covenants, specifying, among other things, that the sale of assets is limited to 15% of consolidated total assets as of the end of any period of twelve consecutive months subject to safe harbors for debt prepayment or property reinvestments and specified exclusions, that indebtedness (excluding certain indebtedness of subsidiaries) plus basket liens will not at any time exceed 10% of consolidated total assets, and that the ratio of total debt to total capitalization will not exceed 0.65 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter.
The Utilities Note Purchase Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay principal and make whole amount when due at maturity or otherwise, failure to pay interest within five business days of the due date, failure to satisfy any financial covenant, failure to comply with the non-financial covenants within a 30-day grace period, default beyond the applicable grace period for payments on other borrowings and cross acceleration for acceleration of other borrowings as a result of non-monetary defaults provided that either of such defaults relates to indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of more than 2% of consolidated total assets, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of UGI Utilities and its principal subsidiaries, judgment defaults provided such judgment relates to the payment of money aggregating in excess of 2% of consolidated total assets, and material ERISA defaults.
The Notes are callable by UGI Utilities, (i) at any time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, and (ii) at any time on a date that is less than 30 days prior to the maturity date of the Notes, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, but without the payment of a “make-whole” premium, in each case, so long as there is no Default or Event of Default under the Utilities Note Purchase Agreement. Holders of the Notes have a right to require prepayment of the principal amount of the Notes, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment, if UGI Utilities ceases to be directly or indirectly majority owned, beneficially and of record, by the Company, including, without limitation, if the Company ceases to own (beneficially and of record), directly or indirectly, voting stock of UGI Utilities (or other securities convertible into such voting stock) representing 51% or more of the combined voting power of all voting stock of UGI Utilities and 51% or more of the economic interests in UGI Utilities.
