[8-K] UGI Corporation Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 07/21/2025, HCI Group (HCI) director Gregory Politis filed a Form 4 disclosing the grant of 750 restricted common shares under the company’s 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The shares carry no purchase cost and will vest on 05/22/2026.

After the award, Politis reports beneficial ownership of 213,132 directly-held shares, 200,000 shares held jointly with his spouse, and the new 750 restricted shares, totalling roughly 413,882 shares. The incremental award is less than 0.2 % of his existing stake, signalling ongoing alignment but limited economic impact. No sales were reported.

Positive

• Director acquired additional equity, reinforcing insider–shareholder alignment through a time-based restricted stock award.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Small insider award; signal positive but immaterial to valuation.

The 750-share restricted stock grant to Director Politis marginally increases insider ownership, reinforcing governance alignment. However, compared with his 400k+ share position and HCI’s 10 MM+ shares outstanding, the award is economically negligible. It neither changes float nor suggests a directional view on near-term fundamentals, so I view the filing as neutral for the stock.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Routine equity compensation; supports alignment, no governance red flags.

The grant was made under the long-standing 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan, follows standard vesting (≈10 months), and was properly reported within two days. Transparency and timing meet Section 16 requirements. Because the award size is small and there are no accompanying sales, governance implications are benign. Impact on shareholder rights or control is non-material.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 18, 2025, UGI Utilities, Inc. (“UGI Utilities”), a wholly owned subsidiary of UGI Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Utilities Note Purchase Agreement”) with certain persons (the “Utilities Note Purchasers”) relating to the private placement of $150 million aggregate principal amount of 5.10% Senior Notes, Series A, with a maturity date of November 15, 2030 (the “Series A Notes”), and $125 million aggregate principal amount of 5.68% Senior Notes, Series B, with a maturity date of November 15, 2035 (the “Series B Notes,” and together with the Series A Notes, the “Notes”). The private placement of the Notes is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Funding of the Notes is expected on or before November 14, 2025. Interest payments on the Notes will be payable semiannually on November 15th and May 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 9, 2025.

The Utilities Note Purchase Agreement includes the usual and customary covenants for note purchase agreements of this type, including, among others, covenants relating to the maintenance of existence, payment of taxes when due, compliance with laws, maintenance of properties in good repair, compliance with the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of books and records, pari passu ranking, merger and consolidation, line of business, antiterrorism sanctions, and change in control. 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.

Each of the Series A Notes and Series B 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, in the case of the Series A Notes, or 90 days, in the case of the Series B Notes, prior to the maturity date of such series of 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.
