Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 31, 2017, UGI Utilities, Inc., (the "UGI Utilities"), a wholly owned subsidiary of UGI Corporation, entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among UGI Utilities, as borrower, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, The Bank of New York Mellon as syndication agent, PNC Capital Markets LLC and Citizens Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers, PNC Capital Markets LLC as sole bookrunner, Branch Banking and Trust Company and F.N.B. Corporation, as documentation agents, and certain other lenders (the "Lenders") consisting of a $125,000,000 term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility").

Base Rate Advances (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (1) the highest of (a) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate, or (c) the daily LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, and (2) the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement), each as in effect on the date of the borrowing. The Applicable Margin will be based on the credit ratings assigned to certain indebtedness of UGI Utilities. Eurodollar Rate Advances (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (1) the London interbank offered rates divided by a number equal to 1.00 minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (2) the Applicable Margin.

The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of October 30, 2018. The maturity date may be extended to October 30, 2022, if, on or before October 30, 2018, UGI Utilities satisfies certain requirements relating to approval of the Credit Agreement by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. UGI Utilities may voluntarily prepay its borrowings under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without any premium or penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, among others, covenants relating to the maintenance of a financial ratio, financial reporting, compliance with laws, payment of taxes, preservation of existence, books and records, maintenance of properties and insurance, limitations on liens, restrictions on mergers, and limitations on changes in the nature of UGI Utilities’ business.

The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including, among other things, in the event of nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, failure to perform or observe covenants within a specified period of time, a cross-default to other UGI Utilities indebtedness of a specified amount, the bankruptcy or insolvency of UGI Utilities, monetary judgment defaults of a specified amount, a change of control of UGI Utilities, and ERISA defaults resulting in liability for a specified amount. In the event of a default by UGI Utilities, the requisite number of Lenders (or the agent at their request) may declare all amounts owed under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. For defaults related to insolvency and receivership, all amounts owed will automatically become immediately due and payable. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, a 2% interest penalty may apply to any outstanding amount not paid when due or that remains outstanding while an event of default exists.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to UGI Utilities’ Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 31, 2017 and incorporated herein by reference.





Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The foregoing description in Item 1.01 above regarding UGI Utilities’ borrowing under the Credit Agreement is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to UGI Utilities’ Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 31, 2017 and incorporated herein by reference.
