INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Transaction Statement”), together with the exhibits hereto, is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by AmeriGas Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and the issuer of the common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”) that are subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction; UGI Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“UGI”); AmeriGas, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation; AmeriGas Propane, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “General Partner”); AmeriGas Propane Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”); and AmeriGas Propane Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”). Collectively, the persons filing this Transaction Statement are referred to as the “filing persons.”

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 1, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among UGI, Holdings, Merger Sub, the Partnership and the General Partner. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Partnership, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Partnership shall survive and continue to exist as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement provides that, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Common Unit issued and outstanding or deemed issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (a) Common Units held by the General Partner (“Sponsor Units”) or (b) the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries or UGI or any of its affiliates (excluding the Sponsor Units) (the “Affiliate Units”), will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each such holder of Common Units (the “Unaffiliated AmeriGas Unitholders”), but subject to any applicable withholding tax and proration as described below, one of the following forms of consideration (collectively, the “merger consideration”): (i) 0.6378 shares of common stock, no par value, of UGI (all shares of such common stock, the “UGI Shares” and such election, a “Share Election”); (ii) $7.63 in cash, without interest, and 0.500 UGI Shares (such election, a “Mixed Election”); or (iii) $35.325 in cash, without interest (such election, a “Cash Election”). In addition, until the closing of the Merger, the holders of Common Units (the “Unitholders”) will continue to receive regular quarterly distributions, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice but subject to certain restrictions and requirements contained in the Merger Agreement, of not less than $0.95 per Common Unit with respect to any completed quarter prior to closing. As of the Effective Time, all of the Common Units converted into the right to receive the merger consideration will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the General Partner’s economic general partner interest in the Partnership will be converted into (a) 10,615,711 Common Units, which will not be converted into the merger consideration and will remain outstanding as partnership interests in the Partnership following the Effective Time and (b) a non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership as the surviving entity. The Sponsor Units will be unaffected by the Merger and will remain outstanding following the Effective Time. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Affiliate Units will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist, with no consideration being paid thereon.

The merger consideration is subject to a proration (the “proration”) designed to ensure that the number of UGI Shares issuable as part of the merger consideration will equal approximately 34,621,206 UGI Shares. Unitholders may elect the Share Election, the Mixed Election or the Cash Election. However, the ability for Unitholders to receive the merger consideration they elected will depend on the elections of other Unitholders. The proration of the merger consideration payable to Unitholders in the Merger will not be known until Computershare, Inc. tallies the results of the elections made by Unitholders, which will not occur until near or after completion of the Merger. If no valid election is made with respect to a Common Unit, such Unitholder will receive such merger consideration as is determined in accordance with the proration provisions of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Units at a special meeting of Unitholders.

The audit committee of the board of directors of the General Partner (the “GP Board” and such audit committee, the “GP Audit Committee”), consisting of four members of the GP Board who meet the independence qualifications under the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AmeriGas Partners, L.P., dated as of July 27, 2009, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”), and the Charter of the GP Audit Committee for membership on the GP Audit Committee, unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, the Partnership and the Unaffiliated AmeriGas Unitholders, (ii) approved, and recommended that the GP Board approve, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (iii) resolved, and recommended that the GP Board resolve, to recommend approval of the

1

Merger Agreement to the Unitholders, with such recommendation and approval constituting “Special Approval” as such term is defined in the Partnership Agreement. In making its recommendation, the GP Audit Committee considered, among other things, the opinion of Tudor Pickering Holt & Co Advisors LP (“TPH”), the independent financial advisor to the GP Audit Committee, that, as of the date of its opinion, based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations of the review undertaken by TPH in connection with the preparation of its opinion set forth therein, the Merger Consideration (as defined in TPH’s opinion) to be paid to the Unaffiliated AmeriGas Unitholders in the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to such Unaffiliated AmeriGas Unitholders.

The GP Board, after considering various factors, including the unanimous determination and recommendation of the GP Audit Committee, has (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, the Partnership and the Unaffiliated AmeriGas Unitholders, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (iii) resolved to submit the Merger Agreement to a vote of the Unitholders and recommend approval of the Merger Agreement by the Unitholders.

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, UGI is filing with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4, which includes a notice of meeting and a proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) with respect to (i) the issuance of UGI Shares as a portion of the merger consideration and (ii) the special meeting of Unitholders, at which Unitholders will be asked to consider and vote on, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1) and a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. All references in this Transaction Statement to Items numbered 1001 to 1016 are references to Items contained in Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including all annexes thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and responses to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the annexes thereto. The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is in preliminary form and is subject to completion. Terms used but not defined in this Transaction Statement shall have the meanings given to them in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

While each of the filing persons acknowledges that the Merger is a going private transaction for purposes of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, the filing of this Transaction Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any filing person, or by any affiliate of a filing person, that the Partnership is “controlled” by any of the filing persons and/or their respective affiliates.

All information concerning each filing person contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this Transaction Statement was supplied by such filing person.
