2021 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN
ANNUAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
This ANNUAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated ___________, _____ (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by UGI Corporation (“UGI”) to you (the “Participant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the UGI Corporation 2021 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of Restricted Stock Units with respect to shares of Common Stock of UGI (“Shares”);
WHEREAS, the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of UGI (the “Committee”) has decided to grant Restricted Stock Units to the Participant on the terms described below; and
WHEREAS, the Participant’s portal in the Morgan Stanley website for Plan participants (the “Grant Summary”) sets forth the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant in this grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Award Agreement, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and in the Plan, UGI hereby grants to the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units (hereinafter “Stock Unit”) specified in the Grant Summary. The Stock Units will be earned and payable if and to the extent that the conditions of this Award Agreement are met. The Stock Units are granted with Dividend Equivalents (as defined in the Plan).
2.Vesting. The Participant shall earn the right to payment of the Stock Units if the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company through ___________, _____ (the “Vesting Date”).
3.Termination of Employment or Service.
(a)Except as provided immediately below or in Section 6, if the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates for any reason (including Termination without Cause (as defined in Section 9) before the Stock Units are fully vested, the unvested Stock Units and all related Dividend Equivalents will be forfeited. If the Participant ceases to be
1

employed by, or provide service to, the Company by reason of one of the following events, then the Participant shall vest in the Stock Units as follows:
(b)Death. In the event of the Participant’s death while employed by, or providing service to, the Company, the Participant shall vest 100% in the Stock Units as of the date of death.
(c)Disability. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Disability (as defined in Section 9) the Participant shall continue to vest in the Stock Units as if such Participant were still employed and shall become fully vested in the Stock Units on ___________, _____, the Vesting Date.
(d)Retirement. If the Participant ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the Company on account of Retirement (as defined in Section 9), the Participant shall continue to vest on a pro rata basis in the Stock Units as if such Participant were still employed. The prorated portion shall be calculated based on the number of months the Participant has been employed or provided service to the Company during the period between the Date of Grant and the Vesting Date (the “Vesting Period”) as compared to the full number of months in the Vesting Period as follows: the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of completed months the Participant has been employed or provided service to the Company during the Vesting Period and the denominator of which is 36, the full number of months in the Vesting Period.
4.Payment with Respect to Stock Units. When the Stock Units vest in the event of death, Disability or Retirement, or on the Vesting Date, the Company shall pay to the Participant whole Shares equal to the number of Stock Units that have become vested on such date. Payment shall be made within 30 business days after the Vesting Date (except as otherwise required by Section 6 below).
5.Dividend Equivalents with Respect to Stock Units.
(a)Dividend Equivalents shall accrue with respect to the Stock Units and shall be payable subject to the same vesting and other terms as the Stock Units to which they relate. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited with respect to the Stock Units from the Date of Grant until the payment date of the Stock Units (or until they are forfeited). Dividend Equivalents will become vested as the underlying Stock Units vest. If and to the extent that the underlying Stock Units are forfeited, all related Dividend Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
(b)While the Stock Units are outstanding, the Company will keep records of Dividend Equivalents in a bookkeeping account for the Participant. On each payment date for a dividend paid by UGI on its Common Stock, the Company shall credit to the Participant’s account an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents associated with the Stock Units held by the Participant on the record date for the dividend. No interest will be credited to any such account.
(c)Vested Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash at the same time and on the same terms as the underlying vested Stock Units are paid.
2

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Participant may not accrue Dividend Equivalents in excess of $1,000,000 during any calendar year under all grants under the Plan.
6.Change in Control.
(a)If a Change in Control occurs, the Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents shall not automatically become payable upon the Change in Control but, instead, shall become payable as described in this Section 6. The Committee may take such other actions with respect to the Stock Units and Dividend Equivalents as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.
(b)If a Change in Control occurs before the Vesting Date, the Committee shall determine whether the Stock Units shall be (i) converted to units with respect to shares or other equity interests of the acquiring company or its parent (“Successor Units”), in which case Dividend Equivalents shall continue to be credited on the Successor Units, or (ii) valued based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Stock Units as of the Change in Control date and credited to a bookkeeping account for the Participant, in which case interest shall be credited on the amount so determined at a market rate for the period between the Change in Control date and the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4, all payments on and after a Change in Control shall be made in cash. If alternative (i) above is used, the cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the number of shares or other equity interests underlying the Successor Units, plus accrued Dividend Equivalents. All payments shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.
(c)If a Change in Control occurs and the Participant continues in employment or service through the Vesting Date, the Stock Units (subject to subsection (b)) shall vest on the Vesting Date and shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Vesting Date. The cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the vested Stock Units (subject to subsection (b)).
(d)If a Change in Control occurs and the Participant has a Termination without Cause or a Good Reason Termination, in either case upon or within two years after the Change in Control date and before the Vesting Date, the Stock Units (subject to subsection (b)) shall vest on the Participant’s separation from service date and shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 14 below. The cash payment shall equal the Fair Market Value on the date of payment of the vested Stock Units (subject to subsection (b)).
(e)If a Change in Control occurs before the Vesting Date, and the Participant terminates employment or service on account of Retirement, Disability or death upon or after the Change in Control Date and before the Vesting Date, any vested Restricted Stock Units (calculated under Section 3) shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Participant’s separation from service, subject to Section 14 below; provided that, if required by section 409A, if the Participant’s Retirement, Disability or death occurs more than two years after the Change in Control Date, payment will be made within 2 ½ months following the Vesting Date, and not upon the earlier separation from service.
3

(f)If a Participant’s employment or service terminates on account of Retirement, death or Disability before a Change in Control, and a Change in Control subsequently occurs before the Vesting Date, any vested amounts (calculated under Section 3) shall be due the Participant. These vested Stock Units shall be paid in cash within 30 days after the Change in Control Date, subject to Section 14 below.
