Performance Highlights – Fiscal 20192022

UGI Corporation (the “Company”) reported diluted earnings per share of $4.97 and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.90 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”). Adjusted earnings per share exclude (i) the impact of changes in unrealized gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments not associated with current period transactions, (ii) business transformation expenses, (iii) impairments of certain equity method investments and assets, (iv) debt extinguishment, (v) the impact of a change in tax law, and (vi) restructuring costs.

The Board of Directors increased the annual dividend rate during Fiscal 2022 by approximately 4.3% (the 35th consecutive year of annual dividend increases). As described in more detail below, we continued to make progress on our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives during Fiscal 2022 through our dedicated ESG team and advancement on our commitment to the Company’s Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (“BIDE”) initiative.

In addition, we identified and communicated to our investors three key elements that we believe will advance our strategy: (1) providing reliable earnings growth; (2) investing in renewable energy solutions; and (3) rebalancing our portfolio, with an emphasis on natural gas and renewable energy solutions. The following discussion highlights some of our key accomplishments in these areas during Fiscal 2022.

UGI Corporation (the “Company”
Reliable Earnings Growth

We are committed to consistently growing our earnings and plan to continue this growth through increased investments in our regulated utilities businesses, generating significant fee-based income in our Midstream and

2

Marketing operations, and making strategic acquisitions at our LPG businesses. We strive to be the preferred provider in all markets we serve and remain focused on making continuous improvements and focusing on growth across our business.

At our Utilities segment, we completed the acquisition of Mountaineer Gas Company in Fiscal 2021 and continued integration efforts in Fiscal 2022. In September 2022, our Pennsylvania natural gas utility company (“PA Gas Utility”) received approval from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (“PAPUC”) reported earnings per share of $1.41 and adjusted earnings per share of $2.28 for a two-phase annual base distribution rate increase of $49.45 million beginning in October 2022. In addition, the PAPUC approved a weather normalization adjustment rider beginning in November of 2022.

At our Midstream & Marketing segment, UGI Energy Services completed the acquisition of Stonehenge in January 2022. The Stonehenge business includes a natural gas gathering system located in Western Pennsylvania, comprised of more than 47 miles of pipeline and associated compression assets. This acquisition is consistent with our growth strategies, including our goal to expand our midstream natural gas gathering assets within the Appalachian basin production region. Our Midstream and Marketing business also continues to provide a stable earnings stream, which is underpinned by fee-based contracts from customers.

In Fiscal 2022, our AmeriGas Propane and UGI International segments successfully concluded transformation initiatives and we remain committed to continuous improvement as we manage through a challenging environment. Our national accounts program at AmeriGas Propane and our cylinder exchange programs at both AmeriGas Propane and UGI International are convenient for customers and position us for future growth.

Investment in Renewable Energy

We are pursuing investments in a number of key renewable energy areas, including RNG, bio-LPG and renewable dimethyl ether, among others. Our natural gas businesses are actively exploring RNG opportunities involving both distribution and RNG feedstock infrastructure, and our LPG businesses are developing bio-LPG sources to augment our existing bio-LPG source in Sweden. We believe that we are particularly well-positioned to develop investment opportunities in these rapidly emerging markets due to our competencies in project development, project execution, gas transportation and storage, and energy marketing.

We expect to utilize our existing natural gas and LPG distribution infrastructure to deliver RNG and bio-LPG to the customers we serve. In most cases, these renewable solutions can be delivered to our customers with no additional local infrastructure, incremental investments by our customers, or community disruption related to infrastructure buildout. In Fiscal 2022, we announced a number of projects, which we believe will provide a foundation for growth within the renewable energy space.

UGI Energy Services announced investments in joint ventures to produce RNG in New York, South Dakota and Idaho. The RNG produced annually from these projects will be sold into local or interstate natural gas pipelines and the environmental credits generated by the projects will be marketed by our subsidiary. In February 2022, UGI Pennant announced that it entered into a series of agreements to accept delivery of RNG into its natural gas gathering system. The project is scheduled to become operational in 2023. When fully operational, the UGI Pennant system will take up to 6,500 Mcf (thousand cubic feet) per day of RNG supply. UGI Energy Services will manage construction of an interconnecting pipeline and interconnection with UGI Pennant.

In October 2021, PA Gas Utility received regulatory approval from the PAPUC to purchase RNG as part of a five-year pilot program intended to explore how PA Gas Utility can integrate RNG into its supply portfolio to produce economic and environmental benefits for its customers. In January 2022, PA Gas Utility began accepting RNG into its pipeline distribution system pursuant to an interconnect agreement. When fully operational, the interconnect will be capable of accommodating up to 5.3 billion cubic feet of RNG supply each year. The introduction of RNG supply into PA Gas Utility’s distribution system provides benefits to the environment and to the communities we serve by lowering net carbon emissions. It is anticipated that this project will reduce CO2 emissions by an amount equivalent to removing 67,000 passenger vehicles over the course of a calendar year.

In December 2021, UGI International received approval from the European Commission to launch a joint venture to advance the production and use of renewable dimethyl ether, a low-carbon sustainable liquid

3

gas. We anticipate the development of up to six production plants within the next five years, targeting a total production capacity of 300,000 tons of renewable dimethyl ether per year by 2027.

These projects provide a range of benefits, including reducing our carbon footprint while also addressing increased customer demand for low carbon energy sources, and we expect to continue to expand our renewable energy investments in the upcoming years.

Rebalancing Our Portfolio

In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, we completed the AmeriGas Merger, whereby AmeriGas Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of UGI and increased LPG’s contribution to UGI’s overall product mix. We announced our plan to rebalance our portfolio through both organic growth and investment in natural gas and renewable energy solutions.

In Fiscal 2022, we executed on our rebalancing strategy through several transactions and investments, including the Stonehenge Acquisition and the aforementioned investments in renewable energy. In addition to these transactions and investments, UGI Utilities continued to execute on its infrastructure replacement and system

betterment program, with record capital expenditures in Fiscal 2022 and additional expenditures expected in the coming years. UGI Utilities remains on schedule to achieve its goal of replacing the cast iron portions of its gas mains by March 2027 and the bare steel portion of its gas mains by September 2041. We believe that the replacement of aging infrastructure results in increased contributions to rate base growth and also reduces emissions while improving operational efficiency.

Environmental Strategy

We believe that corporate sustainability is critical to our overall business success and we are committed to growing the Company in an environmentally responsible way. UGI’s environmental strategy is focused on three main areas: reducing our emissions; reducing our customers’ emissions affordably, reliably, and responsibly; and investing in renewable solutions. To support our strategy, we have made the following environmental commitments discussed below while also committing to continue to grow our earnings per share and dividends.

Scope 1 Emissions Reduction Commitment – Reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions by 55% by 2025 (using Fiscal 2020 as a baseline). Our Scope 1 emissions reduction target does not include emissions from the fiscal year endedMountaineer Gas Company acquisition, which closed in September 30, 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”). Adjusted earnings per share exclude (i)2021. The emissions from the impact of changesPine Run acquisition, announced in unrealized gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments not associated with current period transactions, (ii) losses associated with extinguishments of debt, (iii) merger expenses associated with the AmeriGas merger transaction (the “AmeriGas Merger”) in which the Company acquired 100% of the publicly held common units of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“AmeriGas Partners”), (iv) acquisition and integration expenses associated with the CMG Acquisition (defined below), and (v) liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) business transformation costs.

The Board of Directors increased the annual dividend rate during Fiscal 2019 by approximately 25% (the 32nd consecutive year of annual dividend increases).

Significant progress was made on strategic initiatives during Fiscal 2019, including (i) the AmeriGas Merger, (ii) the enhancement of the Company’s midstream capabilities through an acquisitionFebruary 2021, will be included in the southwest Appalachian Basin, expandingbaseline 2020 number. The 2020 base number also takes a five year emissions average from the Company’s midstream assetsHunlock generation facility to account for year-over-year differences in run time.

Methane Emissions Reduction Commitment – Reduce methane emissions by 92% by 2030 and gathering rights (the “CMG Acquisition”), (iii) record capital investment95% by 2040.
Pipeline Replacement and completion ofBetterment Commitment – Replace all cast iron pipelines by 2027 and all bare steel by 2041. Our pipeline replacement and betterment activities better enable us to achieve our first rate case as a merged gas utility at UGI Utilities, Inc.emissions reductions goals.
Renewable Investment – Invest between $1 billion and (iv) the refinancing of UGI International’s debt portfolio.

In addition, both of$1.25 billion by 2025. Such renewable investments better enable us to achieve our LPG businesses launched transformation initiatives to promote greater efficiencies, optimize our business model, and leverage technology to increase profitability and deliver an improved customer experience.

emissions reductions goals.

We report our progress on the environmental goals and commitments annually in our Sustainability Reports. Our Sustainability Reports may be accessed on our website under “ESG - Resources - Sustainability Reports.” Information published in our Sustainability Reports is not intended to be incorporated into this Proxy Statement.

In formulating our environmental strategy, our management and Board of Directors consider certain risks and uncertainties that may materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.

ProposalBackgroundBoard Recommendation
We are asking shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the Company’s executive compensation, including our executive compensation policies and practices and the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this Proxy Statement beginning on page 24.

At our 2019 Annual Meeting, over 92% of our shareholders voted to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

This result clearly demonstrated strong support for our executive compensation policies and practices and the alignment of executive pay to Company performance.

FOR

Our Board recommends aFOR vote because it believes the Company’s compensation policies and practices are effective in achieving the Company’s goals of paying for performance and aligning the executives’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders.

ProposalBackgroundBoard Recommendation
We are asking shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the Company’s executive compensation, including our executive compensation policies and practices and the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this Proxy Statement beginning on page 28.

At our 2022 Annual Meeting, nearly 95% of our voting shareholders voted to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

This result clearly demonstrated strong support for our executive compensation policies and practices and the alignment of executive pay to Company performance.

FOR

Our Board recommends a FORvote because it believes the Company’s compensation policies and practices are effective in achieving the Company’s goals of paying for performance and aligning the executives’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders.

Objectives and Components of Our Compensation Program

ObjectivesComponents

The compensation program for our named executive officers is designed to provide a competitive level of total compensation necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. Additionally, our compensation program is intended to motivate and encourage our executives to contribute to our success and reward our executives for leadership excellence and performance that promotes sustainable growth in shareholder value.

In Fiscal 2019, the components of our executive compensation program included salary, annual bonus awards, long-term incentive compensation (performance unit awards and UGI Corporation stock option grants), limited perquisites, retirement benefits and other benefits, all as described in greater detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of this Proxy Statement. We believe that the elements of our compensation program are essential components of a balanced and competitive compensation program to support our annual and long-term goals.

Additionally, our compensation program is intended to motivate and encourage our executives to contribute to our success and reward our executives for leadership excellence and performance that promotes sustainable growth in shareholder value.In Fiscal 2022, the components of our executive compensation program included salary, annual bonus awards, long-term incentive compensation (performance unit awards, restricted stock unit awards, and stock option grants), limited perquisites, retirement benefits and other benefits, all as described in greater detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of this Proxy Statement. We believe that the elements of our compensation program are essential components of a balanced and competitive compensation program to support our short- and long-term goals.
Pay for Performance

Our executive compensation program allows the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board and the Board to determine pay based on a comprehensive view of quantitative and qualitative factors designed to enhance shareholder value and align the long-term interests of executives and shareholders.

We believe that the performance-based components of our compensation program, namely our stock options and performance units, have effectively linked our executives’ compensation to our financial performance.

The Company allocates a substantial portion of compensation to performance-based compensation. In Fiscal 2019, 82% of the principal compensation components, in the case of Mr. Walsh, and 69% to 74% of the principal compensation components, in the case of all other

named executive officers, were variable and tied to financial performance.

For example, for the 2016-2018 performance period, UGI Corporation’s total shareholder return compared to its peer group was in the 90th percentile (UGI ranked 4th out of the 30 companies in its peer group) and Mr. Walsh received a performance unit payout equal to 199.1% of target in Fiscal 2019. For the 2017-2019 performance period (estimated as of October 31, 2019), UGI Corporation’s total shareholder return compared to its peer group was in the 15th percentile and Mr. Walsh would receive no performance unit payout in Fiscal 2020. For additional information on the alignment between our financial results and executive officer compensation, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this Proxy Statement.

Our executive compensation program allows the Compensation and Management Development Committee and the Board to determine pay based on a comprehensive view of quantitative and qualitative factors designed to enhance shareholder value and align the long-term interests of executives and shareholders.

We believe that the performance-based components of our compensation program, namely our annual bonuses, stock options and performance units, have effectively linked our executives’ compensation to our financial performance.

The Company allocates a substantial portion of compensation to performance-based compensation. In Fiscal 2022, 68% of the principal compensation components, in the case of Mr. Perreault, and 57% to

60% of the principal compensation components, in the case of all other named executive officers, were variable and tied to performance objectives.

For example, for the 2019-2021 performance period, UGI Corporation’s total shareholder return compared to its peer group was below the threshold for a payout and resulted in no performance unit payout in Fiscal 2022. For the 2020-2022 performance period (estimated as of September 30, 2022), UGI Corporation’s total shareholder return compared to its peer group was below the threshold for a payout and no performance unit payout is expected in Fiscal 2023. For additional information on the alignment between our financial results and executive officer compensation, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this Proxy Statement.

    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT PROXY MATERIALS, ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

This proxy statement contains information related to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of UGI Corporation to be held on Wednesday, January 22, 2020, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, at The Inn at Villanova University, 601 County Line Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania, and at any postponements or adjournments thereof. Directions to The Inn at Villanova University appear on page 64. This proxy statement was prepared under the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors to solicit your proxy for use at the Annual Meeting. It was made available to shareholders on or about December 13, 2019.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of printed proxy materials?

The Company has elected to provide access to the proxy materials over the Internet. We believe that this initiative enables the Company to provide proxy materials to shareholders more quickly, reduces the impact of our Annual Meeting on the environment and reduces costs.

Who is entitled to vote?

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on November 13, 2019, the record date, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On November 13, 2019, there were 209,011,039 shares of common stock outstanding. Each shareholder has one vote per share on all matters to be voted on.

How can I vote my shares held in the Company’s Employee Savings Plans?

You can instruct the trustee for the Company’s Employee Savings Plans to vote the shares of stock that are allocated to your account in the UGI Stock Fund. If you do not vote your shares, the trustee will vote them in proportion to those shares for which the trustee has received voting instructions from participants.

How can I change my vote?

You can change or revoke your vote at any time before polls close at the 2020 Annual Meeting:

If you returned a paper proxy card, you can write to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at our principal office, 460 North Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406, stating that you wish to revoke your proxy and that you need another proxy card.

You can vote again, either over the Internet or by telephone.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, you can revoke your proxy by

contacting the broker, bank or other nominee and following its procedure for revocation.

If you attend the meeting, you may vote by ballot, which will cancel your previous proxy vote. However, if your shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee, and you wish to vote by ballot at the meeting, you will need to contact your bank, broker or other nominee to obtain a legal proxy form that you must bring with you to the meeting to exchange for a ballot.

Your last vote is the vote that will be counted.

Table of Contents


What is a quorum?

A “quorum” is the presence at the meeting, in person or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. A quorum of the holders of the outstanding shares must be present for the Annual Meeting to be held. Abstentions and brokernon-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.

How are votes, abstentions and brokernon-votes counted?

Abstentions and brokernon-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but are not considered a vote cast under Pennsylvania law.

When a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares on your behalf does not receive voting instructions from you, the broker, bank or other nominee may vote those shares only on matters deemed “routine” by the New York Stock Exchange. Onnon-routine matters, the broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote those shares unless they receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner. A “brokernon-vote” means that a broker has not received voting instructions and either declines to exercise its discretionary authority to vote on routine matters or is barred from doing so because the matter isnon-routine.

As a result, abstentions and brokernon-votes are not included in the tabulation of the voting results on issues requiring approval of a majority of the votes cast and, therefore, do not have the effect of votes in opposition in such tabulation.

What vote is required to approve each item?

Item 1 – Election of Directors:Majority of Votes Cast

Under our Bylaws and Principles of Corporate Governance, Directors must be elected by a majority of the votes cast in uncontested elections, such as the election of Directors at the Annual Meeting. This means that a director-nominee will be elected to our Board of Directors if the votes cast “FOR” such Director nominee exceed the votes cast “AGAINST” him or her. In addition, an incumbent Director will be required to tender his or her resignation if a majority of the votes cast are not in his or her favor in an uncontested election of Directors. The Corporate Governance Committee would then be required to recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept the incumbent Director’s resignation, and the Board will have ninety (90) days from the date of the election to determine whether to accept such resignation.

Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation:Majority of Votes Cast

The approval, by advisory vote, of the Company’s executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting. This vote is advisory in nature and therefore not binding on UGI Corporation, the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Management Development Committee. However, our Board of Directors and the Compensation and Management Development Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and will consider the outcome of this vote in their future deliberations on the Company’s executive compensation programs.

Ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP:Majority of Votes Cast

The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2020 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting to be approved.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Computershare Inc., our Transfer Agent, will tabulate the votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting and act as inspectors of election.

What are the deadlines for Shareholder proposals for next year’s Annual Meeting?

Shareholders may submit proposals on matters appropriate for shareholder action as follows:

Shareholders who wish to include a proposal in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting must comply in all respects with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to such inclusion and must submit the proposals to the Corporate Secretary at our principal office, 460 North Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406, no later than August 14, 2020.

If any shareholder wishes to present a proposal at the 2021 Annual Meeting that is not included in our proxy statement for that meeting, the proposal must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the above address by October 29, 2020. For proposals that are not received by October 29, 2020, the proxy holders will have discretionary authority to vote on the matter without including advice on the nature of the proposal or on how the proxy holders intend to vote on the proposal in our proxy statement.

All proposals and notifications should be addressed to the Corporate Secretary at our principal office, 460 North Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406.

How much did this proxy solicitation cost?

The Company has engaged Georgeson Inc. to solicit proxies for the Company for a fee of $7,500 plus reasonable expenses for additional services. We also reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other institutions, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses for sending proxy materials to beneficial owners and obtaining their voting instructions. Certain Directors, officers and regular employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or facsimile without additional compensation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance Principles

The business of UGI Corporation is managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. As part of its duties, the Board oversees the corporate governance of the Company for the purpose of creating and sustaining long-term value for its shareholders and safeguarding its commitment to its other stakeholders: our employees, customers, suppliers, vendors, creditors, and the communities in which we do business.stakeholders. To accomplish this purpose, the Board considers the interests of the Company’s stakeholders when, together with management, it sets the strategies and objectives of the Company.

The Board, recognizing the importance of good corporate governance in carrying out its responsibilities to our shareholders, has adopted the UGI Corporation Principles of Corporate Governance. The Principles of Corporate Governance provide a framework for the effective governance of the Board and the Company by outlining the responsibilities of the Board and Board Committees. The Board, upon recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, regularly reviews the Principles and, as appropriate, updates them in response to changing regulatory requirements, feedback from stakeholders on governance matters and evolving best practices in corporate governance.

The Company’s Principles of Corporate Governance are posted on our website at www.ugicorp.com (see Company — Leadership and Governance — Governance Documents) or in print, free of charge, upon written request.

Director Independence

TheIn September 2022, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that, other than Mr. Walsh,Perreault (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer), no Director has a material relationship with the Company, and each Director satisfies the criteria for an “independent director” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

The Board has established the following additional guideline to assist it in determining directorDirector independence: if a directorDirector serves as an officer, director or trustee of anon-profit organization, charitable contributions to that organization by the Company and its affiliates that do not exceed the greater of $1,000,000 or two percent2% of the charitable organization’s total revenues per year will not be considered to result in a material relationship between such directorDirector and the Company.

In making its determination of independence, the Board and the Corporate Governance Committee, with the assistance of the Company’s legal counsel, considered charitable contributions and ordinary business transactions between the Company, or affiliates of the Company, and companies where our Directors are employed or serve as directors, all of which were in compliance with either the independence rules of the New York Stock Exchange or the categorical standard set by the Board of Directors for determining director independence.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Management

The Board of Directors regularly assesses and determines the most appropriate Board structure to ensure effective and independent leadership while also ensuring appropriate insight intooversight of the operations and strategic direction of the Company. The Board has determined that the appointment of an independent Chair is the most appropriate leadership structure for the Company, taking into account the current business conditions and the environment in which the Company operates. Our Chairman, Mr. Schlanger, was first elected as independent Chair of the Board in January 2016. As announced in September 2019, as part of the Company’s ongoing Board succession planning, Mr. Schlanger informed the Board of his intention to retire from the UGI Corporation Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in January 2021. The Board, at that time, nominated Frank S. Hermance to succeed Mr. Schlangerhas been serving as Chair of the Board following the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, with Mr. Schlanger being nominated to serve as Vice Chair to facilitate the transition.since January 2021. The Board believes that the Company willis best be served by having Mr. Hermance as independent Chair by virtue of his extensive senior executive leadership experience and global strategic perspective, as well as hisin-depth knowledge of the Company’s corporate strategy and operating history and prior service on the BoardBoards of Directors of AmeriGas Propane, Inc. and UGI Utilities, Inc.

Selection of Board Candidates

The Corporate Governance Committee conducts an annual assessment of the composition of the Board of Directors and the Committees of the Board, and establishes, with the Board, the appropriate qualifications, skills, experience and characteristics required of Board members. The Committee seeks director candidates based upon a number of qualifications, including independence, knowledge, judgment, character, leadership skills, education, experience, financial literacy, standing in the community and the ability to foster a diversity of backgrounds and views, including, but not limited to, gender, race, ethnicity and to complement the Board’s existing strengths,national origin, recognizing that diversity is a critical element to enhancing boardBoard effectiveness. The Committee also considers how director candidates’ qualifications complement the Board’s existing strengths. The Committee continuously evaluates these desired attributes in light of the Company’s long-term strategy and needs as part of its Director succession planning process. The Committee seeks individuals who have a broad range of demonstrated abilities and accomplishments in areas of strategic importance to the Company, such as senior executive leadership,

18

general operational management, finance, energy distribution, international business, lawregulatory and public sector activities. Directors should also possess a willingness to challenge and stimulate management and the ability to work as part of a team in a collegial atmosphere. The Committee also seeks individuals who are capable of devoting the required amount of time to serve effectively on the Board and its Committees.Committees, and who do not hold directorships that could cause a conflict of interest or impair the individual’s ability to contribute meaningfully to the Board. With respect to incumbent Directors, the Committee also considers the past performance of each Director. As part of the annual process of nominating independent Board candidates, the Committee obtains an opinion of the Company’s legal counsel that there is no reason to believe that the Board candidate is not “independent” as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

The Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations from a wide variety of its business contacts, including current Directors, executive officers, community leaders, and shareholders as a source for potential Board candidates. TheFrom time to time, the Committee also uses the services of third-party search firms and organizations that provide diverse candidates to assist it in identifying and evaluating possible nominees for Director. The Board reviews and has final approval of all potential Director nominees for election to the Board. During Fiscal 2019, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Corporate Governance Committee, elected William J. Marrazzo and K. Richard Turner as members of the Board. Messrs. Marrazzo’s and Turner’s biographies and qualifications are set forth in ITEM 1 — Election of Directors, beginning on page 7. In selecting Messrs. Marrazzo and Turner, the Corporate Governance Committee and the Board considered specifically their experience as members of the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Board of Directors, prior to the AmeriGas Merger, as well as their business acumen, expertise and thorough knowledge of the Company’s domestic propane business.

Board and Committee Evaluation Process

The Board of Directors is committed to a robust and constructive annual performance self-assessment process, which seeks to determine whether itthe Board and its Committees function effectively. This self-assessment process is also linked with the Board’s long-term succession planning practices and Board refreshment generally. The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing this formal process, with the assistance of the Corporate Secretary. Each year, the Committee reviews the overall evaluation process, as well as the substantive matters to be addressed by the evaluation process, with the goal to identify opportunities for improvement, as appropriate. The results of the assessments are discussed with the Committees and with the full Board. Any items requiring additional consideration are monitored by the Corporate Secretary throughout the subsequent year forfollow-up action, as appropriate.

The Board evaluation process is conducted, in alternating years, by either a written questionnaire or by a series of interviews conducted by the independent Chair. During Fiscal 2019,2022, each Director discussed his or her assessment ofcompleted a written questionnaire regarding the effectiveness of the Board and each committeeCommittee on which he or she serves, as well as individualthe Director performanceserves. The Corporate Secretary received the completed questionnaires, compiled the results and Board dynamics with the Chair. The Chair prepared a summary.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

The table below showsDETERMINATION OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our Board of Directors plays a critical role to guide our strategic direction and create and sustain long-term value for our shareholders, with intense focus on corporate governance best practices. In order to attract and retain highly qualified, skilled, diverse and experienced public company directors to effectively guide the componentsCompany and address the risks and responsibilities associated with a company of size and complexity similar to UGI, it is necessary to provide a competitive director compensation program. Our non-employee Directors are compensated based upon their service as a Director as well as their respective roles on Board Committees. Our employee Directors receive no separate compensation for their service as Directors.

Our director compensation is overseen by the Corporate Governance Committee, which makes recommendations to our Board of Directors on the structure of our non-employee director compensation program and the appropriate amount of compensation. Our Board of Directors is responsible for approval of our non-employee director compensation program and the compensation paid to our non-employee Directors. In establishing director compensation, our Corporate Governance Committee and our Board of Directors rely on market comparables and assess the vital strategic skills and qualifications of the Board to fulfill our Company’s short- and long-term goals.

The Corporate Governance Committee retained Pay Governance as its independent compensation consultant to assist with the review of our non-employee director compensation and incentive programs for Fiscal 2019. A Director who2022. In connection therewith, Committee member and chair retainers, the number of Board and Committee meetings, stock-based compensation, share ownership requirements and total cash and equity compensation were reviewed.

For our non-employee Directors, other than our Board Chair, we referenced market data provided to us by Pay Governance that compared our non-employee director compensation to similarly-sized companies in the General Industry (weighted 75%) and Energy Services (weighted 25%) sectors. This methodology is consistent with the methodology used to benchmark the compensation of our named executive officers. We seek to position our non-employee director compensation (other than the Board Chair) within 10% of the median total compensation of the directors included in the databases referenced by Pay Governance. See COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – Determination of Competitive Compensation for additional information on the methodology used to benchmark the compensation of our named executive officers.

DETERMINATION OF BOARD CHAIR COMPENSATION

As discussed in greater detail below, the Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors (with the Board Chair recusing himself from discussions and decisions regarding incremental Chair compensation) rely on market data as well as a number of other factors in determining independent Chair compensation. The size and complexity of the Company’s business, including that we operate domestic and international LPG businesses, a domestic natural gas and electric utility business, and domestic and international midstream businesses, drives the need for our Board Chair to dedicate a significant amount of time to Company-related matters. In addition, we believe that our Board Chair’s duties and responsibilities are significantly more strategic and expansive than those of a typical board chair.

Our Board of Directors considers it to be a best practice from a corporate governance standpoint to have an officer or employeeindependent chair of the board of directors. Because a significant majority of the companies included in the Energy Services Database have an executive chair of their board of directors rather than an independent chair, as independence is defined under New York Stock Exchange rules, we do not believe that sufficient comparable data exists to appropriately determine compensation for UGI’s independent Chair using the methodology applied to our director compensation generally. As a result, for UGI Board Chair compensation, Pay Governance referenced a comparator group selected from the General Industry Database based on: (i) a combination of median revenue and market capitalization similar to those of the Company or its subsidiariesand (ii) a representation of a variety of industries that reflect a cross-section of operations that are reflective of the Company’s complexity. The median revenue of the comparator group was $6.7 billion (UGI’s revenue for the same Fiscal 2020 period was $6.6 billion) and the median market capitalization of the comparator group was $10 billion as of May 31, 2021 (UGI’s market capitalization as of May 31, 2021 was $9.6 billion).

21

Consistent with the aforementioned methodology, the following is not compensatedthe comparator group referenced for service onpurposes of determining the Fiscal 2022 compensation of our Board Chair:

Alliance Data SystemEncompass HealthReliance Steel
American Water WorksHanesbrand Inc.Stanley Black & Decker
Big Lots, Inc.Hawaiian ElectricThe AES Corporation
Campbell SoupInvesco Ltd.The Chemours Company
CDK Global, Inc.Lincoln NationalThe Williams Cos.
Conagra Brands, Inc.NiSource Inc.Tractor Supply
Crane Co.Nordstrom, Inc.Unum
Discover FinancialNRG Energy, Inc.
Dover CorporationPerrigo Company plc

In addition to referencing the above general industry comparator group, the Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors or on any Committee(with the Board Chair recusing himself from the discussion and decision regarding incremental Chair compensation) considered a number of other factors in determining the compensation for the Board’s independent Chair within a range of 10% of the Board.$440,000 Fiscal 2022 median total compensation of the comparator group. These factors include the significant time commitment spent by the Board Chair on Company-related matters in light of the size and complexity of the Company’s business, including domestic and international LPG businesses, a domestic natural gas and electric utility business, and domestic and international midstream businesses. Furthermore, UGI’s Board Chair role involves a variety of significant strategic responsibilities that drive value for our shareholders, including merger and acquisition activities, business transformation projects, capital project investment reviews, chief executive officer succession planning, regular discussions with management regarding the Company’s strategic direction and communications, and direct engagement with the Company’s investors. We view the role of UGI’s Board Chair as a highly strategic role with duties and responsibilities over and above traditional Chair activities, which would include chairing meetings, setting meeting agendas and facilitating discussions with other directors on the board in between meetings.

By comparison, use of an alternative methodology referencing a comparator group comprised of companies with independent chairs and in UGI’s two-digit GICS utilities classification would result in comparing UGI’s revenue of $6.6 billion to a median revenue for the comparator group of only $1.5 billion and UGI’s market capitalization of $9.6 billion to a median market capitalization for the comparator group of only $3.8 billion. The median chair compensation for this comparator group is approximately $300,000. We do not believe, for purposes of benchmarking, that this is a relevant comparison. In addition, and as further support that UGI’s two-digit GICS classification does not generate a relevant comparator group, more than 75% of UGI’s earnings were derived from its non-regulated non-utility businesses in Fiscal 2022. Accordingly, we believe that the general industry comparator group utilized by the Company in determining Chair compensation more appropriately reflects the size, complexity and composition of the Company’s business.

ELEMENTS OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

For Fiscal 2022, our non-employee director compensation program consisted of: (i) annual cash retainers for Board service and for service as the chair or member of one of the standing Board Committees and (ii) long-term equity awards granted on an annual basis to non-employee Directors immediately following the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or following their initial appointment to the Board for new directors. Our non-employee Directors did not receive any Board or committee meeting fees in Fiscal 2022.

Annual cash retainers

In Fiscal 2022, the Company paid its non-employee Directors an annual base retainer of $102,500 for Board service and paid an additional annual retainer of $12,500 to members of the Audit Committee, other than the chair of the Committee. The Company also paid an annual retainer to the chair of each of the Committees, other than the Executive Committee, as follows:

(1)

Annual Retainers. In Fiscal 2019, the Company paid itsnon-management Directors an annual retainer of $90,000 for Board service and paid an additional annual retainer of $12,500 to members of the Audit Committee other than the chairperson. The Company also paid an annual retainer to the chairperson of each of the Committees, other than the Executive Committee, as follows: Audit, $25,000; Chair

$25,000
Compensation and Management Development $20,000; Corporate Governance, $15,000; Committee Chair$20,000
Safety, Environmental and Regulatory Compliance $15,000; and the Committee Chair$15,000
Corporate Governance Committee Chair$15,000
Pension Committee of the Board of Directors of UGI Utilities, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, $15,000. In addition, the Company paid Mr. Schlanger an annual retainer of $120,000 for his service as independent Chair. The Company pays no meeting attendance fees. Ms. Romano and Messrs. Marrazzo and Turner received compensation that waspro-rated based on their respective service on the Board of Directors during Fiscal 2019.

(2)Chair

Stock Awards. All Directors named above, excluding Messrs. Schlanger, Marrazzo and Turner, received 1,840 stock units in Fiscal 2019 as part of their annual compensation. In addition, Mr. Schlanger received 2,130 stock units in Fiscal 2019 for his service as Chair. Messrs. Marrazzo and Turner were elected as Directors on September 5, 2019 and will receive awards in connection with their election in Fiscal 2020. The stock units were granted under the UGI Corporation 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”). Each stock unit represents the right to receive a share of stock and dividend equivalents when the Director ends his or her service on the Board. Stock units earn dividend equivalents on each record date for the payment of a dividend by the Company on its shares. Accrued dividend equivalents are converted to additional stock units annually, on the last date of the calendar year, based on the closing stock price for the Company’s shares on the last trading day of the year. All stock units and dividend equivalents are fully vested when credited to the Director’s account. Account balances become payable 65 percent in shares and 35 percent in cash, based on the value of a share, upon retirement or termination of service. In the case of a change in control of the Company, the stock units and dividend equivalents will be paid in cash based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the change in control. The amounts shown in column (c) above represent the fair value of the awards of stock units on the date of grant. The assumptions used in the calculation of the amounts shown are included in Note 2 and Note 14 to our audited consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2019, which are included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The dollar value shown in column (c) above reflects each Director’s annual award. The grant date fair value of (i) each Director’s annual award of 1,840 stock units was $103,500, and (ii) Mr. Schlanger’s annual award of 3,970 stock units was $223,313. For the number of stock units credited to each Director’s account as of September 30, 2019, see SECURITIES OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS — SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, page 60.

$15,000

In addition, the Company paid Mr. Hermance an additional cash retainer of $68,500 for his service as independent Chair for Fiscal 2022.

(3)

Stock OptionsAnnual Long-Term Equity Awards. Allnon-management Directors, excluding Messrs. Schlanger, Marrazzo and Turner, received 5,400 stock options in Fiscal 2019 as part of their annual compensation. In addition, Mr. Schlanger received an additional 6,280 stock options in Fiscal 2019 for his service as Chair. In Fiscal 2020, Messrs. Marrazzo and Turner will receive stock option awards in connection with their election to the Board of Directors in September 2019. The options were granted under the 2013 Plan. The option exercise price is not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the common stock on the effective date of the grant, which is either the date of the grant or a future date. The term of each option is generally 10 years, which is the maximum allowable term. The options are fully vested on the effective date of the grant. All options are nontransferable and generally exercisable only while the Director is serving on the Board, with exceptions for exercise following disability or death. If termination of service occurs due to disability, the option term is shortened to the earlier of the third anniversary of the date of such termination of service or the original expiration date. In the event of death, the option term will be shortened to the earlier of the expiration of the12-month period following the Director’s death or the original expiration date. If termination of service occurs due to retirement, as defined in the 2013 Plan, the option remains exercisable through its original expiration date. The amounts shown in column (d) above represent the grant date fair value of each Director’s Fiscal 2019 award. For the number of stock options held by each Director as of September 30, 2019, see SECURITIES OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS — SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, page 60.

(4)

The amounts shown in column (f) represent above-market earnings on deferred compensation. Earnings on deferred compensation are considered above-market to the extent that the rate of interest exceeds 120 percent of the applicable federal long-term rate. For purposes of the Director Compensation Table, the market rate on deferred compensation most analogous to the rate at the time the interest rate is set under the deferred compensation plan for Fiscal 2019 was 3.98 percent, which is 120 percent of the federal long-term rate for December 2018.

Stock Ownership GuidelinesEach non-employee Director continuing to serve as a Director after the adjournment of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders received long-term equity grants consisting of 2,300 UGI stock units and Equity Plan Limits6,050 UGI stock options. Mr. Hermance received an additional 1,810 UGI stock units and 4,760 UGI stock options in Fiscal 2022 for Independenthis service as Chair of the Board. Our philosophy is to pay a higher percentage of total compensation in equity, rather than cash, to more closely align the interests of our non-employee Directors: All independent directors with those of our shareholders. In addition, all non-employee Directors are required to own Company common stock, together with stock units, in an aggregate amount equal to five times the Directors’Director’s base annual cash retainer. As of September 30, 2022, Mr. Hermance, the Chair of our Board, owned 465,000 shares of UGI common stock and 49,469 UGI stock units, which equated to a value of $16,632,782 (approximately 36 times Mr. Hermance’s total compensation for Fiscal 2022).

The UGI stock units and stock options were granted under the UGI Corporation 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”). Each stock unit represents the right to receive a share of stock and dividend equivalents when the Director ends his or her service on the Board. Stock units earn dividend equivalents on each record date for the payment of a dividend by the Company on its shares. Accrued dividend equivalents are converted to additional stock units annually, on the last date of the calendar year, based on the closing stock price for the Company’s shares on the last trading day of the year. All stock units and dividend equivalents are fully vested when credited to the Director’s account. Account balances become payable 65% in shares and 35% in cash, based on the value of a share, upon retirement or termination of service, unless a deferral election to defer payout of the stock units was made pursuant to the UGI Corporation 2009 Deferral Plan. In the case of a change in control of the Company, the stock units and dividend equivalents will be paid in cash based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the change in control.

For UGI stock options, the option exercise price is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the effective date of the grant. The term of each option is generally 10 years, which is the maximum allowable term. The options are fully vested on the effective date of the grant. All options are nontransferable and generally exercisable only while the Director is serving on the Board, with exceptions for exercise following disability, death or retirement. If termination of service occurs due to disability, the option term is shortened to the earlier of the third anniversary of the date of such termination of service or the original expiration date. In the event of death, the option term will be shortened to the earlier of the expiration of the 12-month period following the Director’s death or the original expiration date. If termination of service occurs due to retirement, as defined in the 2021 Plan, the option remains exercisable through its original expiration date.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee is composed of independent Directors as defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and Securities and Exchange Commission audit committee membership requirements. The Audit Committee has certain duties and powers as described in its written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. A copy of the charter can be found on the Company’s website at www.ugicorp.com (Company — Leadership and Governance — Committees and Charters — Audit Committee). As described more fully in its charter, the role of the Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of the quality and integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process. The Committee also has the sole authority to appoint, retain, fix the compensation of, and oversee the work of, the Company’s independent auditors, as well as review the services performed by the Company’s internal audit department.

In this context, the Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent auditors to review and discuss the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the interim unaudited financial statements, and the audited financial statements for Fiscal 2019.2022. The Committee also reviewed management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As part of this review, the Committee reviewed the bases for management’s conclusions in that report and the report of the independent registered public accountants on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). In addition, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the independent auditors their independence.

Management has primary responsibility for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls, and for preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Committee appointed Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to audit the Company’s financial statements as of and for Fiscal 2019.2022. In August 2014, the Committee first approved the engagement of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. The Committee considered a variety of factors in selecting EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, including the firm’s independence and internal quality controls, the overall depth of talent, and EY’s experience with the Company’s industry and companies of similar scale and size. In determining whether to reappoint EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2019, and in evaluating the audit partner rotation for Fiscal 2020 in accordance with applicable rules and regulations,2022, the Committee again took those factors into consideration along with its review of the past performance of EY and EY’s familiarity with the Company’s business and internal control over financial reporting as well as the expertise and experience of the audit partner candidates.reporting. EY’s audit report appears in our Annual Report on Form10-K for Fiscal 2019.2022. The Committee is responsible for the audit fee negotiations associated with the retention of EY and the final approval of EY’s lead audit partner.EY.

The members of the Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting. The members of the Committee rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors. Accordingly, the Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or that our auditors are, in fact, “independent.”

Based upon the reviews and discussions described in this report, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for Fiscal 20192022 for filing with the SEC.

The Committee concluded that our independent registered public accounting firm is independent from the Company and its management.

Consistent with the SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting the compensation of and overseeing the work of the Company’s independent accountants. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has a policy ofpre-approving audit and permissiblenon-audit services provided by the independent accountants. The Audit Committee has also delegated limited approval authority to its chair, such authority to be exercised in the intervals between meetings, in accordance with the Audit Committee’spre-approval policy.

Prior to engagement of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the next year’s audit, management submits to the Audit Committee for approval a list of services expected to be rendered during that year, and fees related thereto.

Link Between Our Financial Performance and Executive Compensation

The Committee sets rigorous goals for our executive officers that are directly tied to the Company’s financial performance and our total return to our shareholders. We believe that the performance-based components of our compensation program, namely our annual bonuses, stock options and performance units, have effectively linked our executives’ compensation to our financial performance. The following charts set forth the Company’s Adjusted EPS performance from Fiscal 20172020 through Fiscal 20192022 as well as the Company’s three-year stock performance compared to the (i) S&P Utilities Index, and the(ii) Russell MidCap Utilities Index (exclusive of telecommunications companies) (“Adjusted Russell MidCap Utilities Index”), the peer group referenced by the Committee for purposes of the Company’s long-term compensation plan.

The Summary Compensation Table reflects the grant-date fair value for equity awards, as required. However, we believe that a better assessment of amounts earned through equity awards can be made by considering our executives’ realizable pay, which was significantly lower than the grant-date fair value.pay. While UGI Corporation performance unit awards have resulted in payouts in eachtwo of the last five performance cycles, there was no payout for the UGI Corporation performance unit awards cycle ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020, or December 31, 2021. In addition, the current cycle scheduled to end December 31, 20192022 is tracking towards no payout as are thein-progress cycles scheduled to conclude on December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021.payout. Further, the Fiscal 20192020, 2021 and 2022 stock option award is currently underwater and thein-the-money value of the Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017 option awards are meaningfully below the grant-date fair values.

The graph below illustrates the effect of our performance-based compensation programs on the total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and compares his targeted compensation to realizable paywere “underwater” as of September 30, 2019.2022, meaning that the exercise price for those option awards was higher than the market price of UGI Corporation common stock on that date. As an example, Mr. Perreault’s realized pay of $1,725,373 (consisting of Mr. Perreault’s base salary and bonus) for Fiscal 2022 was approximately 29% of his total target compensation opportunity of $6,060,694 disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Perreault did not receive a performance unit payout in Fiscal 2022 and did not exercise any “in-the-money” stock options in Fiscal 2022.

Short-Term Incentives — Annual Bonuses

Our annual bonuses are directly tied to key financial metrics for each executive. For Messrs. Walshas well as safety performance and Jastrzebski and Ms. Gaudiosi, the financial metric is Adjusted EPS (as previously defined), which is then modified based on the achievement of a safety performance goal based on weighted average safety modifier results from AmeriGas Propane, UGI International, UGI Utilities, Inc.diversity and UGI Energy Services, LLCinclusion (“Energy Services”D&I”). Mr. Perreault’s annual bonus is comprised of three components: (i) fifty percent is tied to UGI International performance, (ii) thirty percent is tied to AmeriGas Partners performance, and (iii) twenty percent is tied to UGI Corporation performance. goal. Additional details on eachthe components of the three components of Mr. Perreault’s annual bonus asbonuses for our named executive officers are set forth in more detail in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Ninety percent of Mr. Gallagher’s annual bonus is tied to AmeriGas Partners’ operating cash flow, as modified by achievement of a safety performance goal, and ten percent is tied to customer service goals.

As illustrated in the chart below, when the Company’s Adjusted EPS exceeds the targeted goal, the annual bonus percentage paid to a named executive officer exceeds the targeted payout amount. Similarly, when Adjusted EPS is below the targeted goal, the annual bonus percentage paid to a named executive officer is less than the targeted payout amount. Similarly, when Adjusted EPS exceeds the targeted goal, the annual bonus percentage paid to a named executive officer exceeds the targeted payout amount. The foregoing correlation between the Adjusted EPS and bonus payout amounts would also be true with respect to the financial metrics applied to the annual bonus payout for Messrs. Perreault and Gallagher. Mr. Beard.

The Committee has discretion under our executive annual bonus plans to (i) adjust Adjusted EPS Adjusted EBIT, and Operating Cash Flowadjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) for extraordinary items or other events as the Committee deems appropriate, and (ii) increase or decrease the amount of an award determined to be payable under the bonus plan by up to 50 percent.50%. See COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS — Elements of Compensation — Annual Bonus Awards, beginning on page 32.36. The following table demonstrates the strong link between Company financial performance and bonus payout percentages by illustrating that the Company’s Adjusted EPS (as compared to the targeted Adjusted EPS range) during each of the last three fiscal years directly correlates to the bonus payouts for our executives.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Our long-term incentive compensation program, principally comprised of stock options, restricted stock units, and performance units, is intended to create a strong financial incentive for achievement of the Company’s long-term performance goals. In addition, linking equity to compensation aligns our executives’ interests with shareholder interests.

Long-Term Incentives — Stock Options

Beginning in Fiscal 2021, stock options comprise 25% of the target long-term incentive award for our named executive officers. Stock options previously comprised 50% of the target long-term incentive award for named executive officers. Stock option values reported in the Summary Compensation Table reflect the valuation methodology mandated by regulations established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),SEC, which is based on grant date fair value as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Therefore, the amounts shown under “Option Awards” in the Summary Compensation Table do not reflect performance of the underlying shares subsequent to the grant date. From our executives’ perspectives, the value of a stock option is based on the excess of the market price of the underlying shares over the exercise price (sometimes referred to as the “intrinsic value”) and, therefore, is directly affected by market performance of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Company’s recent performance, the fiscalyear-end intrinsic value of the options granted to our executives in Fiscal 2019,2022, Fiscal 20182021 and Fiscal 2017

2020 is less than the amounts set forth in column (f) of the Summary Compensation Table.zero. The table below illustrates the intrinsic value of the stock options granted to Mr. WalshPerreault in Fiscal 2019,2022, Fiscal 20182021 and Fiscal 2017,2020, respectively.

Long-Term Incentives — Performance Units

Performance units comprise 50% of the target long-term incentive award for our named executive officers. Performance units are valued upon grant date in accordance with SEC regulations, based on grant date fair value as determined under GAAP. Nevertheless, the actual number of shares ultimately awarded is entirely dependent on the TSR onof UGI Corporation common stock relative to a competitive peer group, which will not be finally determined with respect to performance units granted in Fiscal 20192022 until the end of calendar year 2021.2024.

The following table shows the correlation between (i) levels of UGI Corporation TSR and long-term incentive compensation paid in each of the previous four fiscal years, and (ii) the estimated payout in Fiscal 20202022 using October 31, 2019,September 30, 2022, instead of December 31, 2019,2022, as the end of the three-year performance period. The table also compares UGI Corporation’s TSR to the average shareholder return of the Company’s peer group. TSR for UGI Corporation is compared to companies in the Adjusted Russell MidCap Utilities Index for the performance periods that began in calendar years 2016 through 2020. TSR for UGI Corporation is compared to the UGI Performance Peer Group for performance periods beginning in calendar year 2021.

TSRLong-Term Incentives — Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units comprise 25% of the target long-term incentive award for UGI Corporationour named executive officers. Restricted stock units are time-based and generally cliff vest in three years, subject to continued employment. The value of restricted stock units is compared to companies in the Adjusted Russell MidCap Utilities Index. In addition, beginning with performance units granted in Fiscal 2019, TUR for AmeriGas Partners for Fiscal 2019 was comparedtied to the energy master limited partnershipsperformance of the market value of the Company’s common stock and limited liability companiesthe grant date value is calculated in accordance with the Tortoise MLP Index. In Fiscal 2018 and 2017, however, TUR for AmeriGas Partners was compared to the energy master limited partnerships and limited liability companies in the Alerian MLP Index. AmeriGas Partners was removed from the Alerian Index in December 2018. For Mr. Gallagher’s Fiscal 2018 and 2017 performance unit award, the Committee applied a second metric tied to AmeriGas Partners’ customer gain/loss performance. The Committee also added a modifier to the portion of Mr. Gallagher’s Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017 performance unit awards tied to AmeriGas Partners’ TUR performance compared to the Alerian MLP Index based on AmeriGas Partners’ performance compared to the other two retail propane distribution companies that were included at that time in the Alerian MLP Index.grant date accounting value.

The link between the Company’s financial performance and our executive compensation program is evident in the supplemental tables provided above. The Committee believes there is an appropriate link between executive compensation and the Company’s performance.

Compensation and Corporate Governance Practices

The Committee seeks to implement and maintain sound compensation and corporate governance practices, which include the following:

The Committee is composed entirely of directors who are independent, as defined in the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

The Committee utilizes the services of Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”), an independent outside compensation consultant. The Committee believes that, during Fiscal 2019, there was no conflict of interest between Pay Governance and the Committee. In reaching the foregoing conclusions, the Committee considered the factors set forth by the New York Stock Exchange regarding compensation committee advisor independence.

The Company allocates a substantial portion of compensation to performance-based compensation. In Fiscal 2019, 82 percent of the principal compensation components, in the case of Mr. Walsh, and 69 percent to 74 percent of the principal compensation components, in the case of all other named executive officers, were variable and tied to performance objectives.

The Company awards a substantial portion of compensation in the form of long-term awards, namely stock options and performance units, so that executive officers’ interests are aligned with the interests of shareholders and long-term Company performance.

Annual bonus opportunities for the named executive officers are based primarily on key financial metrics and safety performance goals. Similarly, long-term incentives are based on UGI Corporation common stock values and relative stock price performance. In Fiscal 2019, long-term incentives for Mr. Perreault were based partially on UGI Corporation common stock values and relative stock performance and partially on AmeriGas Partners common unit values and relative common unit performance. Long-term incentives for Mr. Gallagher were based on AmeriGas Partners common unit values and relative common unit performance.

At our 2019 Annual Meeting, over 92% of our shareholders voted to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

We require termination of employment for payment under our change in control agreements (referred to as a “double trigger”). We require a double trigger for the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of a change in control. In addition, none of our NEOs have change in control agreements providing for taxgross-up payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. See COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, beginning on page 58.

We have meaningful stock ownership guidelines. See COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS — Stock Ownership and Retention Policy, beginning on page 41.

We have a recoupment policy for incentive-based compensation paid or awarded to current and former executive officers in the event of a restatement due to materialnon-compliance with financial reporting requirements.

We have a policy prohibiting the Company’s Directors and executive officers from (i) hedging the securities of UGI Corporation, (ii) holding UGI Corporation securities in margin accounts as collateral for a margin loan, and/or (iii) pledging the securities of UGI Corporation. The Policy specifically prohibits hedging or monetization transactions through the use of prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and/or exchange funds.

The Committee is composed entirely of directors who are independent, as defined in the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
The Committee utilizes the services of Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”), an independent outside compensation consultant. The Committee believes that, during Fiscal 2022, there was no conflict of interest between Pay Governance and the Committee. In reaching the foregoing conclusions, the Committee considered the factors set forth by the New York Stock Exchange regarding compensation committee advisor independence.
The Company allocates a substantial portion of compensation to performance-based compensation. In Fiscal 2022, 68% of the principal compensation components, in the case of Mr. Perreault, and 57% to 60% of the principal compensation components, in the case of all other named executive officers, were variable and tied to performance objectives.
The Company awards a substantial portion of compensation in the form of long-term awards, namely performance stock units, restricted stock units, and stock options, so that executive officers’ interests are aligned with the interests of shareholders and long-term Company performance.
Annual bonus opportunities for the named executive officers are based primarily on key financial metrics, safety performance, and D&I goals. Similarly, long-term incentives are based on UGI Corporation common stock values and relative stock price performance.
At our 2022 Annual Meeting, nearly 95% of our voting shareholders voted to approve the compensation of our named executive officers and, at our 2021 Annual Meeting, 91% of our voting shareholders voted to approve the UGI Corporation 2021 Incentive Award Plan.
We require termination of employment for payment under our change in control agreements (referred to as a “double trigger”). We require a double trigger for the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of a change in control. In addition, none of our named executive officers have change in control agreements providing for tax gross-up payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. See COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, beginning on page 53.
We have robust stock ownership guidelines. See COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS — Stock Ownership and Retention Policy, beginning on page 42.
We have a recoupment policy for incentive-based compensation paid or awarded to current and former executive officers in the event of a restatement due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements.
We have a policy prohibiting the Company’s Directors and executive officers from (i) hedging the securities of UGI Corporation, (ii) holding UGI Corporation securities in margin accounts as collateral for a margin loan, and/or (iii) pledging the securities of UGI Corporation. The policy specifically prohibits hedging or monetization transactions through the use of prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and/or exchange funds.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

Our compensation program for our named executive officers is designed to provide a competitive level of total compensation necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. Additionally, our compensation program is intended to motivate and encourage our executives to contribute to our success and reward our executives for leadership excellence and performance that promotes sustainable growth in shareholder value.value while deterring excessive risk taking.

In Fiscal 2019,2022, the components of our compensation program included salary, annual bonus awards, long-term incentive compensation (performance unit awards, restricted stock unit awards, and UGI Corporation stock option grants), perquisites, retirement benefits and other benefits, such as minimal perquisites, all as described in greater detail in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. We believe that the elements of our compensation program are essential components of a balanced and competitive compensation program to support our annual and long-term goals.

DETERMINATION OF COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION

In determining Fiscal 20192022 compensation, the Committee engaged Pay Governance as its compensation consultant. The primary duties of Pay Governance were to:

provide the Committees with independent and objective market data;

conduct compensation analyses;

review and advise on pay programs and salary, target bonus and long-term incentive levels applicable to our executives;

review components of our compensation program as requested from time to time by the Committee and recommend plan design changes, as appropriate; and

provide general consulting services related to the fulfillment of the Committee’s charters.

provide the Committee with independent and objective market data;
conduct compensation analyses;
review and advise on pay programs and salary, target bonus and long-term incentive levels applicable to our executives;
review components of our compensation program as requested from time to time by the Committee and recommend plan design changes, as appropriate; and
provide general consulting services related to the fulfillment of the Committee’s charter.

Pay Governance has not provided actuarial or other services relating to pension and post-retirement plans or services related to other benefits to us or our affiliates, and generally all of its services are those that it provides to the Committee. Pay Governance has provided market data for positions below the senior executive level as requested by management as well as market data for Director compensation, but its fees for this work historically are modest relative to its overall fees.

In assessing competitive compensation, we referenced market data provided to us in Fiscal 20182022 by Pay Governance. Pay Governance provided us with two reports: the “2018“2021 Executive Cash Compensation Review” and the “2018“2021 Executive Long-Term Incentive Review.” We do not benchmark against specific companies in the databases utilized by Pay Governance in preparing its reports. Our Committee does benchmark, however, by using Pay Governance’s analysis of compensation databases that include numerous companies as a reference point to provide a framework for compensation decisions. Our Committee exercises discretion and also reviews other factors, such as internal equity (both within and among our business units) and sustained individual and company performance, when setting our executives’ compensation.

In order to provide the Committee with data reflecting the relative sizes of UGI’snon-utility and utility businesses, Pay Governance first referenced compensation data for comparable executive positions in each of the Willis Towers Watson 20182021 General Industry Executive Compensation Database (“General Industry Database”) and the Willis Towers Watson 20182021 Energy Services Executive Compensation Database (“Energy Services Database”). Willis Towers Watson’s General Industry Database is comprised of approximately 625930 companies from a broad range of industries, including oil and gas, aerospace, automotive and transportation, chemicals, computer, consumer products, electronics, food and beverages, metals and

mining, pharmaceutical and telecommunications. The Willis Towers Watson Energy Services Database is comprised of approximately 115125 companies, primarily utilities. For Messrs. WalshPerreault and Jastrzebski and Ms.Mses. Gaudiosi and Zagorski, Pay Governance weighted the General Industry Database survey data 75 percent75% and the Energy Services Database survey data 25 percent25% and added the two. For example, if the relevant market rate for a particular executive position derived from information in the General Industry Database was $100,000 and the relevant market rate derived from information in the Energy Services Database was $90,000, Pay Governance would provide us with a market rate of $97,500 for that position (($100,000 x 75 percent75% = $75,000) plus ($90,000 x 25 percent25% = $22,500)). The impact of weighting information derived from the two databases is to obtain a market rate designed to approximate the relative sizes of ournon-utility and utility businesses. For Messrs. Perreault and Gallagher,Mr. Beard, we referenced the General IndustryEnergy

Services Database. The identities of the companies that comprise the databases utilized by Pay Governance have not been disclosed to us by Pay Governance.

We generally seek to position a named executive officer’s salary grade so that the midpoint of the salary range for his or her salary grade approximates the 50th percentile of the “going rate” for comparable executives included in the executive compensation database material referenced by Pay Governance. By comparable executive, we mean an executive having a similar range of responsibilities and the experience to fully perform these responsibilities. Pay Governancesize-adjusted the survey data to account for the relative revenues of the survey companies in relation to ours. In other words, the adjustment reflects the expectation that a larger company would be more likely to pay a higher amount of compensation for the same position than a smaller company. Using this adjustment, Pay Governance developed going rates for positions comparable to those of our executives, as if the companies included in the respective databases had revenues similar to ours. We believe that Pay Governance’s application of size adjustments to applicable positions in these databases is an appropriate method for establishing market rates. After consultation with Pay Governance, we considered salary grade midpoints that were within 15 percent15% of the median going rate developed by Pay Governance to be competitive.

The Committee seeks to target a named executive officer’s total direct compensation opportunity (comprised of base salary, annual bonus award and long-term incentive awards) to be within a range of 85% to 115% of the 50th percentile of the survey data. In general, compensation levels for an executive officer who is new to a position tend to be at the lower end of the competitive range, while seasoned or more experienced executive officers may be positioned at the higher end of the competitive range.

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

Salary

Salary is designed to compensate executives for their level of responsibility and sustained individual performance. We pay our executive officers a salary that is competitive with that of other executive officers providing comparable services, taking into account the size and nature of the business of the Company, AmeriGas Propane, or UGI International, as the case may be.Company.

As noted above, we seek to establish the midpoint of the salary grade for the positions held by our named executive officers at approximately the 50th percentile of the going rate for executives in comparable positions. Based on the data provided by Pay Governance in July 2018,2021, we increased the range of salary in each salary grade for Fiscal 20192022 for each named executive officer, other than Mr. Walsh,Perreault, by 2 percent.2%. The Committee established Mr. Walsh’sPerreault’s Fiscal 20182022 salary grade midpoint atbelow the market median of comparable executives as identified by Pay Governance based on its analysis of the executive compensation databases. For Mr. Walsh, this resulteddatabases, which is considered standard practice for internally promoted Chief Executive Officers in an increase oftheir first few years in the range of salary in his salary grade from the prior year of 5.6 percent.role.

For Fiscal 2019,2022, the merit increases were targeted at 3 percent, but3%, and individual increases variedwere based on performance evaluations and the individual’s position within the salary range. Performance evaluations were based on qualitative and subjective assessments of each individual’s contribution to the achievement of our business strategies, including the development of growth opportunities and leadership in carrying out our talent development program. Mr. Walsh,Perreault, in his capacity as chief executive officerPresident and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, had additional goals and objectives for Fiscal 2019,2022, as established during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019.2022. Mr. Walsh’sPerreault’s annual goals and objectives included the advancement of an organizational succession plan,D&I initiatives, including our BIDE initiative, the continued developmentadvancement of ESG efforts, including a global management teamstrategy into low carbon and the continuing execution of enterprise-wide alignment ofrenewable energy solutions, and other strategic initiatives and commitments related to the Company’s critical processes, the recruitment of experienced individuals to fill key roles within the organization, advancement of leadership development activities, achievement of

annual financial and strategic goals and leadership in identifying investment opportunities for the Company and its subsidiaries. All named executive officers received a salary in Fiscal 2019 that was within 91 percent to 120 percentsafety performance.

Annual Bonus Awards

Our named executive officers participate in the UGI Corporation Executive Annual Bonus Plan (the “UGI Bonus Plan”) and in subsidiary bonus plans, as applicable. In determining each executive position’s target award level under our annual bonus plans, we considered database information derived by Pay Governance regarding the percentage of salary payable upon achievement of target goals for executives in similar positions at other companies as described above. In establishing the target award level, we positioned the amount at approximately the 50th percentile for comparable positions.

Eighty percent of the target bonus award opportunity for each of Messrs. WalshPerreault and Jastrzebski and Ms. Gaudiosi participate in the UGI Corporation Executive Annual Bonus Plan (the “UGI Bonus Plan”), and Mr. Gallagher participates in the AmeriGas Propane Executive Annual Bonus Plan (the “AmeriGas Bonus Plan”). Mr. Perreault participates in both the UGI Bonus Plan and the AmeriGas Bonus Plan, with his target award opportunity tied (i) fifty percent to UGI International performance, (ii) thirty percent to AmeriGas Partners performance, and (iii) twenty percent to UGI Corporation performance. The entire target award opportunity for Messrs. Walsh and Jastrzebski and Ms.Mses. Gaudiosi and the twenty percent of Mr. Perreault’s target award opportunity tied toZagorski is based on UGI Corporation performance, was based on the Company’s Adjusted EPS, as further adjusted byfor bonus purposes (financial performance portion of the Committee. For Messrs.

The following table summarizes Mr. Beard’s target bonus award opportunity:

The financial performance portion of the award opportunity for each named executive officer was structured so that (i) no amount would be payable unless relevant financial metric achievement was at least 80 percent85% of the

target amount, (ii) the target award would be payable (subject to modification based on safety performance) if the relevant financial metric was fully achieved, and (iii) up to 200 percent200% of the target award would be payable (subject to modification based on safety performance) if the relevant financial metric achieved equaled or exceeded 120 percent110% of the relevant financial target. The percentagesafety performance portion and D&I performance portion of the overall bonus award target bonus payable based onare each independent of the level of achievement of thea financial metric (the “Financial Metric Leverage Factor”) is then modified to reflectperformance payout. The safety performance goal reflects the degree of achievement of a predetermined safety performance objective tied to Fiscal 20192022 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) recordables (“Safety Leverage Factor”).recordables. The D&I goal is intended to reinforce the Company’s commitment to a multidimensional strategy to deepen and improve the Company’s awareness of D&I and support the Company’s BIDE initiative, including enhanced recruiting efforts of under-represented candidates, dedication of leadership resources and establishment of a more formal supplier diversity framework. For Fiscal 2019,2022, both the percentage representingsafety and D&I performance portions of the Safety Leverage Factoraward opportunity ranged from 90 percentno payout if the performance target was not achieved,targets were below an established threshold to a maximum of 110 percent150% if performance exceeded the target. We believe the Safety Leverage Factorrelevant safety and D&I performance targets for Fiscal 20192022 represented an achievable, but challenging performance target. Once the Financial Metric Leverage Factor and Safety Leverage Factor are determined, the Financial Metric Leverage Factor is multiplied by the Safety Leverage Factor to obtain a total adjusted leverage factor (the “Total Adjusted Leverage Factor”). The relevant Total Adjusted Leverage Factor is then multiplied by the relevant target bonus opportunity for each individual. For Fiscal 2019, this amount represents (i) 100 percenttargets.

For the component of Messrs. Perreault’s and Gallagher’s bonus award opportunity tied to customer service goals at AmeriGas Propane and only payable if there is at least a threshold payout under the Operating Cash Flow financial component of the award, AmeriGas Propane engaged a third party to conduct customer surveys in order to better understand customer satisfaction with services provided by AmeriGas Propane. Each individual survey is given an overall satisfaction score and the scores are then aggregated by the third party to calculate a total score known as a net promoter score. The customer service portion of the target award was structured such that (i) no amount would be payable unless the actual net promoter score was at least 85 percent of the net promoter score target, (ii) the target bonus award would be payable if the net promoter score was 100 percent of the targeted goal and (iii) the maximum award, up to 150 percent of the targeted award, would be payable if the net promoter score exceeded the net promoter score target.

For Mr. Perreault’s bonus award opportunity tied to strategic goals at UGI International and only payable if there is at least a threshold payout under the Adjusted EBIT financial component of the award, the strategic goals were based 70 percent on operating efficiencies achieved at UGI International and 30 percent on improvements to the UGI International internal control environment during Fiscal 2019. The strategic goal portion of Mr. Perreault’s target award was structured such that (i) no amount would be payable unless at least 60 percent of the target goal was achieved, (ii) the target bonus award would be payable if 100 percent of the targeted goal was achieved and (iii) the maximum award, up to 150 percent of the targeted award, would be payable if the result exceeded the targeted goal.

We believe that annual bonus payments to our most senior executives should reflect our overall financial results for the fiscal year, and the metrics described above provide “bottom line” measures of the performance of an executive in a large, well-established corporation. In addition, we believe that achievement of superior safety performance is an important short-term and long-term strategic initiative and is therefore included as a standalone component of the annual bonus calculation. Moreover, efficiency goalsWe also believe that achievement of our D&I performance goal is an important step in advancing the Company’s dedication to deepen and customer serviceimprove our commitment to D&I and BIDE initiatives at UGI Internationalas we continue to embrace the diversity and AmeriGas Propane are important because we foresee no or minimal growth in total market demanduniqueness of individuals and cultures and the varied perspectives they provide.

The following table summarizes the relevant ranges for LPG in the next several years, and, therefore, efficient operations and customer service are important factors in our ability to improve the long-termtargeted financial performance, of the business.

The targeted Adjusted EPS for bonus purposesactual financial performance achievement, actual safety performance achievement, and actual D&I performance achievement for Fiscal 2019 was established in the range of $2.75 to $2.95 per share. Adjusted EPS achieved for Fiscal 2019 was $2.28 and Adjusted EPS for bonus purposes, as adjusted to exclude the share dilution impact and net income impact resulting from the CMG Acquisition and2022.

the AmeriGas Merger, was $2.36. The Fiscal 2019 safety modifier applied to the bonus payout for Messrs. Walsh and Jastrzebski was 91.8 percent. UGI International’s Fiscal 2019 targeted Adjusted EBIT for bonus purposes was established in the range of $270 million to $300 million, and Adjusted EBIT achieved for Fiscal 2019 was approximately $235 million. For UGI International, the Fiscal 2019 safety modifier was 90 percent and the strategic goal targets were achieved. AmeriGas Partners’ Fiscal 2019 targeted Operating Cash Flow for bonus purposes was established in the range of $475 million to $575 million, and Operating Cash Flow achieved for Fiscal 2019 was approximately $473 million. For AmeriGas Partners, the Fiscal 2019 safety modifier was 90 percent and the customer service goals were achieved at 95 percent of target.

Messrs. Jastrzebski, Perreault and Gallagher each received 10 percent of their annual bonus payments in Company stock in accordance with the Company’s Stock Ownership and Retention Policy.

Long-Term Compensation — Fiscal 20192022 Equity Awards

Background and Determination of Grants

Our long-term incentive compensation is intended to create a strong financial incentive for achieving or exceeding long-term performance goals and to encourage executives to hold a significant equity stake in our Company in order to align the executives’ interests with shareholder interests. Additionally, we believe our long-term incentive compensation program provides us the ability to attract and retain talented executives in a competitive market.

Our long-term compensation for Fiscal 20192022 included UGI Corporation stock option grants, restricted stock units, and eitherperformance units, which were all awarded under the UGI Corporation or, prior2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”). Each restricted stock unit represents the right to the AmeriGas Merger, AmeriGas Partners performance unit awards. Eachreceive a share of common stock after three years of employment and each performance unit represents the right of the recipient to receive a share of common stock or, prior to the AmeriGas Merger, a common unit, if specified performance goals and other conditions are met.

UGI Corporation stock options and performance units were awarded under the 2013 Plan. AmeriGas Partners performance units were awarded under the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan on behalf of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (the “AmeriGas 2010 Plan”). UGI Corporation stock options generally have a term of ten10 years and become exercisable in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Messrs. Walsh, Jastrzebski, and Perreault and Ms. Gaudiosi were each awardeddate, while our restricted stock units generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment with the Company. UGI Corporation performance units are tied to the three-year TSR performance of the Company’s common stock relative to that of the companies in the Adjusted Russell MidCap Utilities Index. In Fiscal 2019, Messrs. Perreault and Gallagher were awarded AmeriGas Partners performance units tied to a relative TUR metric based on the Tortoise MLP Index.UGI Performance Peer Group.

As is the case with cash compensation and annual bonus awards, we referenced Pay Governance’s analysis of executive compensation database information in establishing equity compensation for the named executive officers. In determining the total dollar value of the long-term compensation opportunity to be provided in Fiscal 2019,2022, we initially referenced (i) median salary information, and (ii) competitive median market-based long-term incentive compensation information, both as calculated by Pay Governance. Pay Governance also provided competitive market incentive levels based on its assessment of accounting values. Accounting values are reported directly by companies to the survey databases and are determined in accordance with GAAP.

For Messrs. Walsh and Jastrzebski and Ms. Gaudiosi,our named executive officers, we applied approximately 50 percent of the amount of the long-term incentive opportunity to UGI stock options and approximately 50 percent to UGI performance units. Because of Mr. Perreault’s role and responsibilities, we applied approximately 33 percent25% of the amount of the long-term incentive opportunity to UGI stock options, approximately 33 percent25% to UGI restricted stock units, and approximately 50% to UGI performance units and approximately 34 percent to AmeriGas Partners performance units. Similarly, because Mr. Gallagher is an executive officer employed by AmeriGas Propane, we applied approximately 30 percent of the amount of his long-term incentive opportunity to UGI stock options, and approximately 70 percent to AmeriGas Partners performance units. We believe the aforementioned bifurcations provide a good balance with respect to Messrs. Perreault’s and Gallagher’s respective responsibilities. Because the value of stock options is a function of the appreciation or depreciation of our stock price, stock options are designed to align the executive’s interests with shareholder interests. As explained in more detail below, the restricted stock units are designed to deter unnecessary risk taking while also aligning executive’s interests with shareholder interests, and performance units are designed to encourage increased total shareholder return over a period of time.

While management used the Pay Governance calculations as a starting point, in accordance with past practice, management recommended adjustments to the median levels of Company stock options, restricted stock units, and Company and AmeriGas Partners performance units calculated by Pay Governance. The adjustments were designed to address historic grant practices and internal pay equity (both within and among our business units) and the policy of the Company that the three-year average of the annual number of equity awards made under the Company’s 2013 Plan for the fiscal years 2017 through 2019, expressed as a percentage of common shares outstanding at fiscalyear-end, will not exceed 2 percent.. For purposes of calculatingdetermining the annual number of equity awards used in this calculation:shares available under the 2021 Plan, (i) each stock option granted is deemed to equal one share and (ii) each performance unit earned and paid in shares of stock and each stock unit granted and expected to be paid in shares of stock is deemed to equal 4.673.00 shares.

As a result of the Committee’s acceptance of management’s recommendations (and, as to Mr. Perreault, approval by the independent members of the Board of Directors), the named executive officers received between approximately 80 percent and 102 percent of the total dollar value of long-term compensation opportunity recommended by Pay Governance using accounting values and received the following grants:

Peer Group and Performance Metrics

While the value of performance units awarded to the named executive officers was determined as described above, the actual number of shares or units underlying performance units that areto be paid out at the expiration of the three-year performance period were intended towill be based upon the Company’s comparative TSR (or AmeriGas Partners’ comparative TUR) over the period from January 1, 20192022 to December 31, 2021.2024. Specifically, with respect to Company performance units, we will compare the TSR of the Company’s common stock relative to the TSR performance of those companies comprising the Adjusted Russell MidCap Utilities IndexUGI Performance Peer Group as of the beginning of the performance period using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor at the time of calculation. In computing TSR, the Company uses the average of the daily closing prices for its common stock and the common stock of each company in the Adjusted Russell MidCap Utilities IndexUGI Performance Peer Group for the calendar quarter prior to January 1 of the beginning and end of a given three-year performance period. In addition, TSR gives effect to all dividends throughout the three-

yearthree-year performance period as if they had been reinvested. If a company is added to the Adjusted Russell MidCap Utilities Index during a three-year performance period, we do not include that company in our TSR analysis. We will only remove a company that was included in the Adjusted Russell MidCap Utilities IndexUGI Performance Peer Group at the beginning of a performance period

Each award payable to the named executive officer provides a number of the Company’s shares equal to the number of performance units earned. After the Committee has determined that the conditions for payment have been satisfied, the Company has the authority to provide for a cash payment to the named executives in lieu of a limited number of the shares payable. The cash payment is based on the value of the securities at the end of the performance period and is designed to meet minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. In the event that executives earn shares in excess of the target award, the value of the shares earned in excess of the target is paid entirely in cash.

All performance units have dividend equivalent rights. A dividend equivalent is an amount determined by multiplying the number of performance units credited to the recipient’s account by theper-share cash dividend or theper-share fair market value of anynon-cash dividend paid by the Company during the performance period on Company shares on a dividend payment date. Accrued dividend equivalents are payable in cash based on the number of common shares, if any, paid out at the end of the performance period.

Impact of the AmeriGas Merger

In Fiscal 2019, Messrs. Perreault and Gallagher were awarded AmeriGas Partners performance unit awards tied to the three-year TUR performance of AmeriGas Partners common units relative to that of the entities in the Tortoise MLP Index. With respect to AmeriGas Partners performance units granted in Fiscal 2019 as well as the performance units granted to Mr. Gallagher in Fiscal 2018 and 2017 tied to AmeriGas Partners TUR performance, each performance unit outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the AmeriGas Merger was, as of the effective time of the AmeriGas Merger, automatically canceled and converted into a number of cash-settled restricted stock units relating to Company common stock determined by multiplying (i) the target number of the performance unit award, times (ii) 0.6378 (the “Share Consideration” under the

AmeriGas Merger Agreement) times (iii) the greater of 100 percent or such percentage as is determined under the original award based on AmeriGas Partners’ relative TUR performance for a shortened period that ended on the last trading day prior to the date of the AmeriGas Merger (this was 200 percent for the Fiscal 2019 grant and 100 percent for each of the Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017 grants). These restricted stock units vest on the originally scheduled vesting dates with the only condition being employment with the Company through the time of vesting.

In Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2017, Mr. Gallagher was also granted AmeriGas Partners performance units subject to a customer gain/loss performance metric. In connection with the AmeriGas Merger, these units were automatically cancelled and converted into a number of cash-settled performance-based restricted stock units relating to Company common stock, with such number determined by multiplying the number of outstanding AmeriGas Partners performance units by .6378 (the Share Consideration under the AmeriGas Merger Agreement). These cash-settled UGI restricted stock units continue to be subject to the same performance-based vesting and payment conditions as applicable prior to the AmeriGas Merger.

For performance units granted in Fiscal 2019, we compared the TUR of AmeriGas Partners’ common units relative to the TUR performance of those entities comprising the Tortoise MLP Index as of the beginning of the performance period using the comparative returns methodology used by Bloomberg L.P. or its successor. In computing TUR, we used the average of the daily closing prices for AmeriGas Partners’ common units and those of each of the entities in the Tortoise MLP Index for the90-day period that ended on the last trading day prior to the AmeriGas Merger. In addition, TUR gives effect to all distributions throughout the three-year performance period as if they had been reinvested. The companies in the Tortoise MLP Index as of January 1, 2019 were as follows:

Alliance Resource Partners, L.P.

Enviva Partners, LP

NuStar Energy L.P.

Andeavor Logistics LP

EQT Midstream Partners, LP

PBF Logistics LP

Black Stone Minerals, L.P.

GasLog Partners LP

Phillips 66 Partners LP

BP Midstream Partners LP

Genesis Energy, L.P.

Shell Midstream Partners, L.P.

Buckeye Partners, L.P.

KNOT Offshore Partners LP

USD Partners LP

CVR Refining, LP

Martin Midstream Partners

Westlake Chemical Partners LP

Delek Logistics Partners, LP

NGL Energy Partners LP

Dorchester Minerals, L.P.

Noble Midstream Partners LP

For AmeriGas Partners performance units that vested in Fiscal 2019, the number of AmeriGas Partners common units underlying performance units tied to the Alerian MLP Index were based upon AmeriGas Partners’ TUR rank relative to the Alerian MLP Index entities and was computed using a methodology analogous to that described above. The result was then modified based on AmeriGas Partners’ TUR performance compared to the other two publicly traded retail propane distribution companies, Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (the “Propane MLP Group”).

Long-Term Compensation — Payout of Performance Units for 2016-20182019-2021 Period

During Fiscal 2019, we paid out awards to those executives who received UGI Corporation performance units covering the period from January 1, 20162019 to December 31, 2018.2021 did not satisfy the threshold performance target and therefore no payouts occurred during Fiscal 2022. For that period, the Company’s TSR ranked 4th29th relative to the other companies in the Adjusted Russell Midcap Utilities Index, placing the Company at the 90th6.7 percentile ranking, resulting in a 199.1 percentno payout of the target award. For the performance period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018, Mr. Gallagher received AmeriGas Partners performance units tied to two different metrics: (i) the Alerian Index and (ii) customer gain/loss performance. AmeriGas Partners’ TUR ranked 12th relative to the other companies in the Alerian Index and 1st relative to the other companies in the Propane MLP Group, placing the Company at the 69th percentile ranking and resulting in a payout of 193.2 percent of the target award. Because the payout exceeded 100 percent, the AmeriGas 2010 Plan provides that cash will be paid in lieu of units for any amount in excess of the 100 percent target. Based on customer gain/loss performance during the performance measurement period, there was no payout with respect to the customer gain/loss performance metric. The performance unit payouts for Fiscal 2019 were as follows:

See COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, beginning on page 58,53, for further information regarding the change in control agreements.

STOCK OWNERSHIP AND RETENTION POLICY

We seek to align executives’ interests with shareholder interests through our Stock Ownership and Retention Policy (the “Policy”). We believe that by encouraging our executives to maintain a meaningful equity interest in the Company, we will enhance the link between our executives and shareholders. Under the Policy, an executive must meet 25 percent of thehis or her minimum ownership requirement within threefive years from the date of his or her employment or promotion. ForIn the event that an executive hired oris further promoted to a position with a higher ownership requirement, the five-year period restarts on or after January 24, 2017 and not previously subjectthe effective date of the promotion.

If an executive fails to the Policy, the executive must satisfymeet his or her respective equityminimum ownership requirement in full within sixfive years and will also be subject to ongoing compliance requirements. The three-year period to achieve 25 percentfrom the date of the ownership requirement and the six-year period to achieve the full ownership requirement was reset to commence on September 1, 2019 for those executives who, prior to the AmeriGas Merger, utilized AmeriGas Partners common units to satisfy his or her ownership requirement. Executives subjectemployment or promotion, or fails to the Company’s priorincrease his or her stock ownership policy are not required to fully satisfy their

equity ownership requirement by the end of asix-year achievement period but will continue to be subject to the Policy’s ongoing compliance requirements.

The UGI Bonus Plan and the AmeriGas Bonus Planlevel each provides that, unlessyear, the Committee determines otherwise,may, in its sole discretion, take any action it deems advisable, including but not limited to converting part or all executive officers who have not fulfilled their equity ownership requirement receive up to 10 percent of theirthe executive’s gross annual bonus in fully vestedinto UGI Corporation common stock. In addition, the Policy requiresstock or withholding future annual long-term incentive plan awards from that 50 percent of the net proceeds from a “cashless exercise” of stock options be used to purchase stock until the ownership requirement is met except for executive officers who are also Section 16 officers of the Company. executive.

The Policy also requires that, until the share ownership requirement is met, the executive retain all shares received in connection with the payout of performance units.UGI common stock. Executives may not use unexercised stock options or unvested (unearned) performance units that are not time-based to satisfy their equity ownership requirements.

In the event that there is a significant decline in the price of UGI common stock that results in an executive falling below his or her applicable minimum ownership requirement, such executive will not be noncompliant but will be required to comply with the retention requirements until he or she again meets the ownership requirement.

As of September 30, 2019,October 1, 2022, the stock ownership requirements for the named executive officers were as follows:

Name

Name

Stock Ownership Requirement
(as a multiple of base salary)

(UGI common stock)

At September 30, 2019, Mr. Walsh’s ownership requirement is equivalent to 9 times his base salary, while the stock ownership multiple for the other named executive officers ranged from 2.5 times to 3.5 times base salary. Based on information from Pay Governance, the Committee believes its stock ownership requirements generally align with market practices. Although not all named executive officers have met their respective ownership requirements due to the amount of time they have served in their current positions, all named executive officers were in compliance at September 30, 2019October 1, 2022 with the Policy requiring the accumulation of equity over time.

STOCK OPTIONEQUITY GRANT PRACTICES

The Committees approveCommittee approves annual stock option, restricted stock unit and performance unit grants to executive officers in the last calendar quarter of each year, to be effective the following January. The exercise price per share of the options is equal to or greater than the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of December. A grantGrants to a new employee isare generally effective on the later of the date the employee commences employment with us or the date the Committee authorizes the grant.grants. In either case, for stock options, the exercise price is equal to or greater than the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of grant. From time to time, management recommends stock option, restricted stock unit, and performance unit grants fornon-executive employees, and the grants, if approved by the Committee Chair and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, are effective on or after the date of Committee action and have an exercise price equal to or greater than the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of grant.approval. We believe that our stock option, restricted stock unit and performance unit grant practices are appropriate and effectively eliminate any question regarding “timing” of grants in anticipation of material events.

ROLE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In connection with Fiscal 20192022 compensation, Mr. Walsh,Perreault, aided by our corporate human resources department, provided statistical data and recommendations to the Committee to assist it in determining compensation levels. Mr. WalshPerreault did not make recommendations as to his own compensation and was excused from the Committee meeting when his compensation was discussed by the Committee. While the Committee utilized information provided by Mr. Walsh,Perreault, and valued Mr. Walsh’shis observations with regard to other executive officers, the ultimate decisions regarding executive compensation were made by the

Committee for all named executive officers, except Messrs. Walsh and Gallagher,Mr. Perreault, for whom executive compensation decisions were made by the independent members of the Board of Directors following Committee recommendations.upon recommendation of the Committee.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In Fiscal 2019,2022, we paid salary and annual bonus compensation to named executive officers that may not be fully deductible under U.S. federal tax. Section 162(m) of the Code sets a $1,000,000 cap on the deduction for compensation paid by a publicly held corporation to a “covered employee,” which includes certain of our named executive officers. Other than certain grandfathered awards, the TCJATax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) eliminated the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. We will continue to consider and evaluate all of our compensation programs in light of federal tax law and regulations. Nevertheless, we believe that, in some circumstances, factors other than tax deductibility take precedence in determining the forms and amount of compensation, and we retain the flexibility to authorize compensation that may not be deductible if we believe it is in the best interests of our Company.

The amount shown relates to a target award ofThese performance units granted effectivewere awarded January 1, 20172020, with the exception of Mr. JastrzebskiMs. Zagorski who was awarded these units on his employment commencement date of May 22, 2018.September 8, 2020. The performance measurement period for thesethe performance unitsgoal is January 1, 20172020 through December 31, 2019.2022. The value of the number of performance units that may be earned at the end of the performance period is based on the Company’s TSR relative to that of each of the companies in the Adjusted Russell Midcap Utility Index as of the first day of the performance measurement period. The actual number of performance units and accompanying dividend equivalents earned may be higher (up to 200% of the target award) or lower than the amount shown, based on TSR performance through the end of the performance period. The performance units will be payable, if at all, on January 1, 2020.2023. As of October 31, 2019,September 30, 2022, the Company’s TSR ranking (24(31 out of 2831 companies) would qualify for 0% leverageno payout of the target number of performance units originally granted. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Analysis—Long-Term Compensation - Compensation—Fiscal 20192022 Equity Awards for more information on the TSR performance goal measurements.

(16)(19)

These performance units were awarded January 1, 20182021, with the exception of Mr. Jastrzebski whoPerreault’s promotional grant that was awarded these units on his commencement date of May 22, 2018.June 28, 2021. The measurement period for the performance goal is January 1, 20182021 through December 31,  2020.2023. The performance goal is the same as described in footnote 15,18 above, but is measured for a different three-year period. The performance units will be payable, if at all, on January 1, 2021.

(17)

These performance units were awarded January 1, 2019, withperiod, and the exception of Mr. Perreault who was awarded these units on January 30, 2019. The measurement period for the performance goal is January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021. The performance goal is the same as described in footnote 15, but is measured for a different three-year period. The performance units will be payable, if at all, on January 1, 2022.

The amount shown reflects cash-settled restricted stock units relating to UGI common stock as a result of the AmeriGas Merger. Effective January 30, 2019, Mr. Perreault was granted 11,580, and Mr. Gallagher was granted 15,130, AmeriGas Partners performance units. The original measurement period for these units was January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021. The value of the number of performance units that may be earned at the end of the performance period is based on AmeriGas Partners’ TUR relative to that of each entity in the Tortoise MLP Index. The actual number of units and accompanying distribution equivalents earned may be higher (up to 200% of the target award) or lower than the amount shown, based on TUR performance through the end of the performance period. The performance units would have been payable, if at all, on January 1, 2022. In accordance with the AmeriGas Merger Agreement, these AmeriGas Partners performance units were automatically canceled and converted into cash-settled restricted stock units relative to UGI common stock determined by multiplying (i) the target number of the performance unit award, times (ii) 0.6378 (the Share Consideration under the AmeriGas Merger Agreement), times (iii) the greater of 100% or AmeriGas Partners’ actual TUR performance for the period that ended on the last trading day prior to the merger (200% for the 2019 grant). The cash-settled restricted units will vest on January 1, 2022 with the only condition being employment with the Company through the time of vesting. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis for more information.

(19)

The amount shown reflects cash-settled restricted stock units relating to UGI common stock as a result of the AmeriGas Merger. Mr. Gallagher was granted 1,500 AmeriGas Partners performance units effective January 1, 2017, with an original measurement period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. The value of the number of units that may be earned at the end of the performance period was based on the AmeriGas Partners’ TURCompany’s TSR relative to that of each of the master limited partnershipscompanies in the Alerian MLP IndexUGI Performance Peer Group as of the first day of the performance measurement period, and then modified based on AmeriGas Partners’ three-year TUR relative torather than the TUR of the other two propane companies in the Alerian MLP Index (“Propane MLP Group”). The actual number of units and accompanying distribution equivalents earned was structured such that a higher (up to 200% of the target award) or lower amount of units could be earned based on TUR performance through the end of the performance period. The number would then be modified as follows: (i) if AmeriGas Partners’ TUR ranks first in the Propane MLP Group for the three-year period, then the performance

unit payout will be leveraged at 130%; (ii) if AmeriGas Partners’ TUR ranks second in the Propane MLP Group for the three-year period, then the performance unit payout will be leveraged at 100%; and (iii) if AmeriGas Partners’ TUR ranks third in the Propane MLP Group for the three-year period, then the performance unit payout will be leveraged at 70%. The overall payout is capped at 200% of the target number of performance units awarded.Adjusted Russell Midcap Utility Index. The performance units would have beenwill be payable, if at all, on January 1, 2020. In accordance with the AmeriGas Merger Agreement, these AmeriGas Partners2024.

(20)These performance units were automatically canceled and converted into cash-settled restricted stock units relative to UGI common stock determined by multiplying (i) the target number ofawarded January 1, 2022. The measurement period for the performance unit award (i.e., 1,400 units), times (ii) 0.6378 (the Share Consideration under the AmeriGas Merger Agreement), times (iii) the greater of 100% or AmeriGas Partners’ actual TUR performance for the period that ended on the last trading day prior to the merger (100% for the 2017 grant). The cash-settled restricted units will vest ongoal is January 1, 2020 with2022 through December 31, 2024. The performance goal is the only condition being employment withsame as described in footnote 18 above, but is measured for a different three-year period, and the Company through the time of vesting. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis for more information.

The amount shown reflects cash-settled performance-based restricted stock units relating to UGI common stock as a result of the AmeriGas Merger. Mr. Gallagher was granted 2,300 AmeriGas Partners performance units effective January 1, 2017, with an original measurement period of October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2019. The value of the number of performance units that may be earned at the end of the performance period is based on AmeriGas Propane’s customer gain/loss performance during the three-year performance period. If the three-year cumulative customer gain/loss goal is exceeded, then the maximum leverage will be 200%. If the three-year cumulative customer gain/loss goal is at the threshold, thenCompany’s TSR relative to that of each year’s individual result will be leveraged at 25%. If the three-year cumulative customer gain/loss goal is below the threshold, then there will be no payout under this grant. In accordance with the AmeriGas Merger Agreement, these AmeriGas Partners performance units were automatically canceled and converted into cash-settled performance-based restricted stock units relating to UGI common stock determined by multiplying the target number of the performance unit award (i.e., 2,300 units) by 0.6378 (the Share Consideration undercompanies in the AmeriGas Merger Agreement). These cash-settled UGI restricted stock units continue to be subject toPerformance Peer Group as of the same performance-based vesting and payment conditions as applicable prior to the AmeriGas Merger. Based on customer gain/loss performance duringfirst day of the performance measurement period, rather than the target was not achieved and no payout is expected under this grant. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis for more information.

Messrs. Jastrzebski and Perreault and Ms.Mses. Gaudiosi and Zagorski do not participate in any defined benefit pension plan. Mr. Gallagher has a vested annual benefit amount under the UGI Pension Plan based on prior credited service of approximately $37,100. Mr. Gallagher is not currently earning benefits under that plan.

The Company participates in the UGI Pension Plan to provide retirement income to its employees hired prior to January 1, 2009. The UGI Pension Plan pays benefits based upon final average earnings, consisting of base salary or wages and annual bonuses and years of credited service. Benefits vest after the participant completes five years of vesting service.

The UGI Pension Plan provides normal annual retirement benefits at age 65, unreduced early retirement benefits at age 62 with ten10 years of service and reduced, but subsidized, early retirement benefits at age 55 with ten10 years of service. Employees terminating prior to early retirement eligibility are eligible to receive a benefit under the plan formula commencing at age 65 or an unsubsidized benefit as early as age 55, provided they had 10 years of service at termination. Employees who have attained age 50 with 15 years of service and


50

are involuntarily terminated by the Company prior to age 55 are also eligible for subsidized early retirement benefits, beginning at age 55.

The UGI Pension Plan’s normal retirement benefit formula is (A) – (B) and is shown below:

A = The minimum of (1) and (2), where


(1) = 1.9% of five-year final average earnings (as defined in the UGI Pension Plan) multiplied by years of service;


(2) = 60% of the highest year of year of earnings; and


B = 1% of the estimated primary Social Security benefit multiplied by years of service (maximum of 35 years).35)

The amount of the benefit produced by the formula will be reduced by an early retirement factor based on the employee’s actual age in years and months as of his early retirement date. The reduction factors range from 65 percent65% at age 55 to 100 percent100% (no reduction) at age 62.

The normal form of benefit under the UGI Pension Plan for a married employee is a 50 percent50% joint and survivor lifetime annuity. Regardless of marital status, a participant may choose from a number of lifetime annuity payments.

A different formula (the “CPG Formula”) applies to Mr. Beard as a result of his prior service with a predecessor company that was acquired by Utilities. Under the CPG Formula, the Pension Plan provides normal annual retirement benefits at age 65, unreduced early retirement benefits at age 60 with 10 years of service and reduced, but subsidized, early retirement benefits at age 55 with 10 years of service. Employees terminating prior to early retirement eligibility are eligible to receive a benefit under the plan formula commencing at age 65 or a reduced benefit as early as age 55, provided they had five years of service at termination.

The CPG normal retirement benefit formula is (A) + (B) and is shown below:

A. = 1.08% of five-year final average earnings (as defined in the Plan) up to Social Security Covered Compensation multiplied by years of service up to 35 years; and

B. = 1.35% of five-year final average earnings (as defined in the Plan) above Social Security Covered Compensation multiplied by years of service up to 35 years.

The amount of the benefit produced by the CPG formula will be reduced by an early retirement factor based on the employee’s actual age in years and months as of his early retirement date. The reduction factors range from 65% at age 55 to 100% (no reduction) at age 60.

The normal form of benefit under the CPG Formula for a married employee is a 50% joint and survivor lifetime annuity. Regardless of marital status, a participant may choose from a number of lifetime annuity payments.

The UGI Pension Plan is subject to qualified-plan Code limits on the amount of annual benefit that may be paid, and on the amount of compensation that may be taken into account in calculating retirement benefits under the plan. For plan year 2019,2022, the limit on the compensation that may be used is $280,000$305,000 and the limit on annual benefits payable for an employee retiring at age 65 in 20192022 is $225,000.$245,000. Benefits in excess of those permitted under the statutory limits are paid from the UGI SERP,Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, described below.

Mr. WalshBeard is currently eligible for unreducedreduced early retirement benefits under the UGI Pension Plan.CPG Formula.

UGI Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The UGI SERP is anon-qualified defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits that would otherwise be provided under the UGI Pension Plan to employees hired prior to January 1, 2009, but are prohibited from being paid from the UGI Pension Plan by Code limits. The benefit paid by the UGI SERP is approximately equal to the difference between the benefits provided under the UGI Pension Plan to eligible participants and


51

benefits that would have been provided by the UGI Pension Plan if not for the limitations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Code. Benefits vest after the participant completes 5five years of vesting service. The benefits earned under the UGI SERP are payable in the form of a lump sum payment or rolled over to the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The lump sum interest rate is the daily average often-year 10-year Treasury Bond yields in effect for the month in which the participant’s termination date occurs. Payment is due within 60 days after the termination of employment, except as required by Section 409A of the Code. If payment is required to be delayed by Section 409A of the Code, payment is made within 15 days after expiration of asix-month postponement period following “separation from service” as defined in the Code.

Actuarial assumptions used to determine values in the Pension Benefits Table — Fiscal 20192022

The amounts shown in the Pension Benefit Table above are actuarial present values of the benefits accumulated through September 30, 2019.2022. An actuarial present value is calculated by estimating expected future payments starting at an assumed retirement age, weighting the estimated payments by the estimated probability of surviving to each post-retirement age, and discounting the weighted payments at an assumed discount rate to reflect the time value of money. The actuarial present value represents an estimate of the amount which, if invested today at the discount rate, would be sufficient on an average basis to provide estimated future payments based on the current accumulated benefit. The assumed retirement age for each named executive is age 62, which is the earliest age at which the executive could retire without any benefit reduction due to age. Actual benefit present values will vary from these estimates depending on many factors, including an executive’s actual retirement age. The key assumptions included in the calculations are as follows:

The SSP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides benefits to certain employees that would be provided under the UGI Savings Plan in the absence of Code limitations. Benefits vest after the participant completes five years of service. The SSP is intended to pay an amount substantially equal to the difference between the Company matching contribution that would have been made under the UGI Savings Plan if the Code limitations were not in effect and the Company match actually made under the UGI Savings Plan. The Code compensation limit for plan year 20192022 was $280,000.$290,000. Under the SSP, the participant is credited with a Company match on compensation in excess of Code limits using the same formula applicable to contributions to the UGI Savings Plan, which is a match of 50 percent50% on the first 3 percent3% of eligible compensation, and a match of 25 percent25% on the next 3 percent,3%, assuming that the employee contributed to the UGI Savings Plan the lesser of 6 percent6% of eligible compensation and the maximum amount permissible under the Code. Amounts credited to the participant’s account are credited with interest. The rate of interest currently in effect is the rate produced by blending the annual return on the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (60 percent(60% weighting) and the annual return on the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40 percent(40% weighting). Account balances are payable in a lump sum within 60 days after termination of employment, except as required by Section 409A of the Code. If payment is required to be delayed by Section 409A of the Code, payment is made within 15 days after expiration of asix-month postponement period following “separation from service” as defined in the Code.

The AmeriGas SERP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is intended to provide retirement benefits to certain AmeriGas Propane employees. Under the plan, AmeriGas Propane credits to each participant’s account annually an amount equal to 5 percent of the participant’s compensation (salary and annual bonus) up to the Code compensation limit ($280,000 in plan year 2019) and 10 percent of compensation in excess of such limit. In addition, if any portion of AmeriGas Propane’s matching contribution under the AmeriGas Savings Plan is forfeited due to nondiscrimination requirements under the Code, the forfeited amount, adjusted for earnings and losses on the amount, will be credited to the participant’s account. Benefits vest on the fifth anniversary of a participant’s employment commencement date. Participants direct the investment of their account balances among a number of funds, which are generally the same funds available to participants in the AmeriGas Savings Plan, other than the UGI Corporation stock fund. Account balances are payable in a lump sum within 60 days after termination of employment, except as required by Section 409A of the Code. If payment is required to be delayed by Section 409A of the Code, payment is made within 15 days after expiration of asix-month postponement period following “separation from service” as defined in the Code. Amounts payable under the AmeriGas SERP may be deferred in accordance with the Company’s 2009 Deferral Plan. See COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – UGI Corporation 2009 Deferral Plan, page 41.

The AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides benefits to certain employees that would otherwise be provided under the AmeriGas Savings Plan. The plan is intended to permit participants to defer up to $10,000 of annual compensation that would generally not be eligible for contribution to the AmeriGas Savings Plan due to Code limitations and nondiscrimination requirements. Participants may direct the investment of deferred amounts into a number of funds. The funds available are the same funds available under the AmeriGas Savings Plan, other than the UGI Corporation stock fund. Account balances are payable in a lump sum within 60 days after termination of employment, except as required by Section 409A of the Code. If payment is required to be delayed by Section 409A of the Code, payment is made within 15 days after expiration of asix-month postponement period following “separation from service” as defined in the Code.

The 2009 UGI SERP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is intended to provide retirement benefits to executive officers who are not eligible to participate in the UGI Pension Plan, having been hired on or after January 1, 2009. Under the 2009 UGI SERP, the Company credits to each participant’s account annually an amount equal to 5 percent5% of the participant’s compensation (salary and annual bonus) up to the Code compensation limit ($280,000290,000 in plan year 2019)2022) and 10 percent10% of compensation in excess of such limit. In addition, if any portion of the Company’s matching contribution under the UGI Savings Plan is forfeited due to nondiscrimination requirements under the Code, the forfeited amount, adjusted for earnings and losses on the amount, will be credited to the participant’s account.

Account balances are payable in a lump sum within 60 days after termination of employment, except as required by Section 409A of the Code. If payment is required to be delayed by Section 409A of the Code, payment is made within 15 days after expiration of asix-month postponement period following “separation from service” as defined in the Code.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Severance Pay Plan for Senior Executive Employees

Named Executive Officers Employed by UGI Corporation.The UGI Corporation Senior Executive Employee Severance Plan (the “UGI“2021 Severance Plan”), effective October 1, 2021, provides for payment to certain senior level employees of UGI, including Messrs. Walsh,Perreault, Jastrzebski, and PerreaultBeard, and Ms.Mses. Gaudiosi and Zagorski, in the event their employment is terminated without fault on their part. Benefits are payable to a seniorcovered executive covered by the UGI Severance Plan if the senior executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated for any reason other than for “just cause” or as a result of the senior executive’s death or disability. Under the UGI2021 Severance Plan, “just cause” generally means dismissal of an executive due to (i) theft or misappropriation of funds, (ii) conviction of a felony or crime involving moral turpitude, (iii) material breach of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or other written employment policies, (iv) breach of a written restrictive covenant agreement, (v) gross misconduct in the performance of his or her duties, or (vi) the intentional refusal or failure to perform his or her material duties.


Except as provided herein,53


Under the UGI2021 Severance Plan, provides for cash paymentsseverance is equal to athe participant’s annual compensation (including base salary and bonus) at the time of separation multiplied by the severance period for a period of time ranging from six months to 18 months, depending on length of service (the “Continuation Period”). In the case of Mr. Walsh, the Continuation Period is 30 months. In addition, aparticipant’s employment classification. A participant also may receive an annual bonus for his or her year of termination, subject to the Committee’s discretion and not to exceed the amount of his or her bonus under the Annual Bonus Plan,pro-rated for the number of months served in the fiscal year prior to termination. The levels of severance payments were established by the Committee based on competitive practice and are reviewed by management and the Committee from time to time.

The maximum period for calculating the payment of such benefits is 18 months (30 months in the case of Mr. Walsh).

The UGI2021 Severance Plan also requires a senior executive to ratify any existing post-employment activities agreement (which restricts the senior executive from competing with the Company following termination of employment) and to cooperate in attending to matters pending at the time of termination of employment.

Named Executive Officers Employed by AmeriGas Propane.    The AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Senior Executive Employee Severance Plan (the “AmeriGas Severance Plan”) provides for payment to certain senior level employees of AmeriGas Propane, including Mr. Gallagher, in the event their employment is terminated

without fault on their part. Specified benefits are payable to a senior executive covered by the AmeriGas Severance Plan if the senior executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated for any reason other than for “just” cause or as a result of the senior executive’s death or disability. Under the AmeriGas Severance Plan, “just cause” generally means dismissal of an executive due to (i) misappropriation of funds, (ii) conviction of a felony or crime involving moral turpitude, (iii) material breach of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or other written employment policies, (iv) breach of a written restrictive covenant agreement, (v) gross misconduct in the performance of his or her duties, or (vi) the intentional refusal or failure to perform his or her material duties.

Except as provided herein, the AmeriGas Severance Plan provides for cash payments equal to a participant’s compensation for a period of time ranging from six months to 18 months, depending on length of service (the “AmeriGas Continuation Period”). Mr. Gallagher’s Continuation Period is 24 months. In addition, a participant may receive an annual bonus for his or her year of termination, subject to the Committee’s discretion and not to exceed the amount of his or her bonus under the Annual Bonus Plan,pro-rated for the number of months served in the fiscal year prior to termination. The levels of severance payments were established by the Committee based on competitive practice and are reviewed by management and the Committee from time to time.

Under the AmeriGas Severance Plan, a participant also receives a payment equal to the cost the participant would have incurred to continue medical and dental coverage under AmeriGas Propane’s plans for the AmeriGas Continuation Period (less the amount the participant would be required to contribute for such coverage if the participant were an active employee), provided continued medical and dental coverage would not result in adverse tax consequences to the participant or AmeriGas Propane and is permitted under the applicable medical and dental plans. The AmeriGas Severance Plan also provides for outplacement services for a period of 12 months following a participant’s termination of employment and reimbursement for tax preparation services, if eligible, for the final year of employment.

In order to receive benefits under the AmeriGas Severance Plan, a participant is required to execute a release that discharges AmeriGas Propane and its affiliates from liability for any claims the senior executive may have against any of them, other than claims for amounts or benefits due to the executive under any plan, program or contract provided by or entered into with AmeriGas Propane or its affiliates. Each senior executive is also required to ratify any existing post-employment activities agreement (which restricts the senior executive from competing with AmeriGas Propane following termination of employment) and to cooperate in attending to matters pending at the time of termination of employment.

CEO Pay Ratio

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related rules adopted by the SEC require disclosure of the ratio of the annual total compensation of its chief executive officer to the annual total compensation of its median employee. As permitted byIn accordance with the SEC rules,regulations, we used the sameidentified a new median employee for Fiscal 2019this year due to transformation activities at the Company that we identified for Fiscal 2018 because there were no significant changesled to the globala change in our employee population nor significant changes to employee compensation arrangements.which we believed would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure. The following table shows the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, comparedRoger Perreault, to that of our median employee for Fiscal 2019.2022. In calculating the pay ratio, we did not utilize the “de minimis” exception, statistical sampling or other similar methods, or anycost-of-living adjustment, as permitted by applicable SEC regulations.

Annual total compensation of our CEO for Fiscal 2022$6,060,694
Annual total compensation of our median employee for Fiscal 2022$71,717
Ratio of annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee for Fiscal 202285 to 1

Ratio of annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee for Fiscal 2019   133 to 1 

Methodology:

1.

Because there were no significant changes toWe determined that, as of July 1, 2022, our workforce or employee compensation arrangements in Fiscal 2019, the median employee that we used for purposespopulation consisted of calculating CEO pay ratio for Fiscal 2018 is the same median employee that we identified for disclosure in Fiscal 2019.

approximately 9,500 active employees working at UGI Corporation and each of its subsidiaries, both domestically and internationally.

2.

With respect to the annual total compensation of the “median employee,” we identified and calculated the elements of such employee’s compensation for Fiscal 20192022 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of RegulationS-K using Target Total Cash Compensation (base salary equivalent and overtime, plus incentive compensation and commissions) as our consistently applied compensation measure.

3.For purposes of ournon-U.S.-based employees, we converted the gross salary amounts from the local currency into U.S. dollar amounts using aone-year trailing averagean exchange rate using daily price moves, for the period fromas of July 1, 2018 to July 1, 2019.

2022.

3.

With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total column (column (j))” of our Fiscal 2019 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement.

This process resulted in the identification of an employee whose compensation was anomalous, as that individual was newly hired in 2022. As a result, we substituted an employee near the median whose compensation was viewed as more representative of our median employee.

The SEC regulations for identifying the median-paid employee and calculating the CEO pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and assumptions and, as a result, the CEO pay ratio reported above may not be comparable to the CEO pay ratio reported by other companies.

IITEM2 — ADVISORYVOTEONUGI CORPORATIONSEXECUTIVECOMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is providing shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory,non-binding vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. The compensation of our named executive officers is disclosed under the headings “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Compensation of Executive Officers” beginning on pages 2428 and 43,44, respectively, of this Proxy Statement. At the 20192022 Annual Meeting, over 92%nearly 95% of our voting shareholders voted to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.officers and, at our 2021 Annual Meeting, 91% of our voting shareholders voted to approve the UGI Corporation 2021 Incentive Award Plan.

We believe that the interests of our named executive officers and our shareholders are closely aligned. As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation program for our named executive officers is designed to provide a competitive level of total compensation, to motivate and encourage our executive officers to contribute to the Company’s success and to effectively link our executives’ compensation to our financial performance and sustainable growth in shareholder value. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis also describes in detail the components of our executive compensation program and the process by which, and the reasons why, the independent members of our Board of Directors and our Compensation and Management Development Committee make executive compensation decisions.

In making executive compensation decisions, our Compensation and Management Development Committee seeks to implement and maintain sound compensation and corporate governance practices, which include the following:

Our Compensation and Management Development Committee is composed entirely of Directors who are independent, as defined in the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
Our Compensation and Management Development Committee utilizes the services of Pay Governance LLC, an independent outside compensation consultant.
The Company allocates a substantial portion of compensation to performance-based compensation. In Fiscal 2022, 68% of the principal compensation components, in the case of Mr. Perreault, and 57% to 60% of the principal compensation components, in the case of all other named executive officers, were variable and tied to performance objectives.
The Company awards a substantial portion of compensation in the form of long-term awards, namely performance stock units, restricted stock units, and stock options, so that executive officers’ interests are aligned with shareholders’ interests and long-term Company performance.
Annual bonus opportunities for the named executive officers are based primarily on key financial metrics, safety performance, and diversity and inclusion goals. Similarly, long-term incentives are based on UGI Corporation common stock values and relative stock price performance.
We require termination of employment for payment under our change in control agreements (referred to as a “double trigger”). In addition, we require a double trigger for the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of a change in control. None of our named executive officers have change in control agreements providing for tax gross-up payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. See COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, beginning on page 53.
We have robust stock ownership and retention guidelines. See COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS — Stock Ownership and Retention Policy, beginning on page 42.

Our Compensation and Management Development Committee is composed entirely60

Our Compensation and Management Development Committee utilizes the services of Pay Governance LLC, an independent outside compensation consultant.

The Company allocates a substantial portion of compensation to performance-based compensation. In Fiscal 2019, 82% of the principal compensation components, in the case of Mr. Walsh, and 69% to 74% of the principal compensation components, in the case of all other named executive officers, were variable and tied to financial performance or TSR.

The Company awards a substantial portion of compensation in the form of long-term awards, namely stock options and performance units, so that executive officers’ interests are aligned with shareholders’ interests and long-term Company performance.

Annual bonus opportunities for the named executive officers are based on key financial metrics. Similarly, long-term incentives are based on UGI Corporation common stock values and relative stock price performance.

We require termination of employment for payment under our change in control agreements (referred to as a “double trigger”). In addition, we require a double trigger for the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of a change in control. None of our named executive officers have change in control agreements providing for taxgross-up payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. See COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, beginning on page 58.

We have meaningful stock ownership and retention guidelines. See COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS — Stock Ownership and Retention Policy, beginning on page 41.

We have a recoupment policy for incentive-based compensation paid or awarded to current and former executive officers in the event of a restatement due to materialnon-compliance with financial reporting requirements.

We have a policy prohibiting the Company’s Directors and executive officers from (i) hedging the securities of UGI Corporation, (ii) holding UGI Corporation securities in margin accounts as collateral for a margin loan, and/or (iii) pledging the securities of UGI Corporation. The Policy specifically prohibits hedging or monetization transactions through the use of prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and/or exchange funds.


We have a recoupment policy for incentive-based compensation paid or awarded to current and former executive officers in the event of a restatement due to material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements.
We have a policy prohibiting the Company’s Directors and executive officers from (i) hedging the securities of UGI Corporation, (ii) holding UGI Corporation securities in margin accounts as collateral for a margin loan, and/or (iii) pledging the securities of UGI Corporation. The policy specifically prohibits hedging or monetization transactions through the use of prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and/or exchange funds.

This vote is advisory, which means that the vote on executive compensation is not binding on the Company, our Board of Directors or the Compensation and Management Development Committee. The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation, but rather relates to the overall compensation of our named executive officers. The Board of Directors and the Compensation and Management Development Committee expect to take into account the outcome of this vote when considering future executive compensation decisions and will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address shareholders’ concerns, to the extent a significant number of our shareholders vote against our compensation program.

Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 ofRegulation S-K, including our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and the related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.

The Board of Directors of UGI Corporation unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the related narrative discussion in this Proxy Statement.


ITEM 3 — Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on UGI Corporation’s Executive Compensation

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, as amended, the Company is providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, for their preference as to how frequently to cast future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers (that is, votes similar to the non-binding, advisory vote in ITEM 2 — ADVISORY VOTE ON UGI CORPORATION’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION). Shareholders may indicate whether they would prefer that the Company conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation once every one, two, or three years, or shareholders may abstain from casting a vote on this proposal.

The Board of Directors of UGI Corporation has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every year is the most appropriate alternative for the Company and recommends that shareholders vote for a one-year interval for the advisory vote on executive compensation. The Board of Directors believes that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is a good corporate governance practice and is in the best interests of our shareholders. In determining to recommend that shareholders vote for a frequency of once every year, the Board of Directors considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation will allow for more frequent input from our shareholders on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices. Similarly, any shareholder concerns about our executive compensation program can be expressed through a vote without having to wait two or three years.


61

This vote is advisory, which means that the vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation is not binding on the Company, our Board of Directors or the Compensation and Management Development Committee. The Board of Directors and the Compensation and Management Development Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. However, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our shareholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the frequency receiving the most votes cast by our shareholders. Further, in accordance with applicable law, shareholders will have the opportunity to recommend the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation at least once every six years. Following the 2023 Annual Meeting, we expect to hold our next vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation at our 2029 Annual Meeting.

Shareholders may cast a vote on the preferred voting frequency by selecting the option of one year, two years, or three years (or abstain) when voting in response to the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders determine, on an advisory basis, whether the preferred frequency of an advisory vote on the executive compensation of the Company’s named executive officers should be every one year, every two years, or every three years.

The enclosed proxy card provides shareholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the vote every one, two, or three years, or abstain from voting) and, therefore, shareholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors of UGI Corporation unanimously recommends that an advisory vote on executive compensation be held every one (1) year.

IITEM 34 — RATIFICATIONOFAPPOINTMENTOFINDEPENDENT
REGISTEREDPUBLICACCOUNTINGFIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm to examine and report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020.2023.

You can instruct the trustee for the Company’s Employee Savings Plans to vote the shares of stock that are allocated to your account in the UGI Stock Fund. If you do not vote your shares, the trustee will vote them in proportion to those shares for which the trustee has received voting instructions from participants.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, you can revoke your proxy
by contacting the broker, bank or other nominee and following its procedure for revocation.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank, or other holder of record for changing or revoking your proxy. Your last vote is the vote that will be counted.

Forward-Looking Statements

Information contained in this Proxy Statement may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements use forward-looking words such as “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” or other similar words and terms of similar meaning, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. These statements discuss plans, strategies, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future. All forward-looking statements made in this Proxy Statement rely upon the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. We believe that we have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statement as these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to vary from assumed facts or bases, and the differences between actual results and assumed facts or bases can be material, depending on the circumstances. When considering forward-looking

statements, you should keep in mind the following important factors that could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements: (1) weather conditions, including increasingly uncertain weather patterns due to climate change, resulting in reduced demand, the seasonal nature of our business, and disruptions in our operations and supply chain; (2) cost volatility and availability of energy products, including propane and other LPG, electricity, and natural gas, as well as the availability of LPG cylinders, and the capacity to transport product to our customers; (3) changes in domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including safety, health, tax, transportation, consumer protection, data privacy, accounting, and environmental matters, such as regulatory responses to climate change; (4) inability to timely recover costs through utility rate proceedings; (5) the impact of pending and future legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations; (6) competitive pressures from the same and alternative energy sources; (7) failure to acquire new customers or retain current customers thereby reducing or limiting any increase in revenues; (8) liability for environmental claims; (9) increased customer conservation measures due to high energy prices and improvements in energy efficiency and technology resulting in reduced demand; (10) adverse labor relations and our ability to address existing or potential

workforce shortages; (11) customer, counterparty, supplier, or vendor defaults; (12) liability for uninsured claims and for claims in excess of insurance coverage, including those for personal injury and property damage arising from explosions, acts of war, terrorism, natural disasters, pandemics, and other catastrophic events that may result from operating hazards and risks incidental to generating and distributing electricity and transporting, storing and distributing natural gas and LPG in all forms; (13) transmission or distribution system service interruptions; (14) political, regulatory and economic conditions in the United States, Europe and other foreign countries, including uncertainties related to the war between Russia and Ukraine, the European energy crisis, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, particularly the euro; (15) credit and capital market conditions, including reduced access to capital markets and interest rate fluctuations; (16) changes in commodity market prices resulting in significantly higher cash collateral requirements; (17) impacts of our indebtedness and the restrictive covenants in our debt agreements; (18) reduced distributions from subsidiaries impacting the ability to pay dividends or service debt; (19) changes in Marcellus and Utica Shale gas production; (20) the availability, timing and success of our acquisitions, commercial initiatives and investments to grow our businesses; (21) our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and achieve anticipated synergies; (22) the interruption, disruption, failure, malfunction, or breach of our information technology systems, and those of our third-party vendors or service providers, including due to cyber attack; (23) the inability to complete pending or future

energy infrastructure projects; (24) our ability to achieve the operational benefits and cost efficiencies expected from the completion of pending and future business transformation initiatives, including the impact of customer service disruptions resulting in potential customer loss due to the transformation activities; (25) our ability to attract, develop, retain and engage key employees; (26) uncertainties related to a global pandemic, including the duration and/or impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; (27) the impact of proposed or future tax legislation; (28) the impact of declines in the stock market or bond market, and a low interest rate environment, on our pension liability; (29) our ability to protect our intellectual property; and (30) our ability to overcome supply chain issues that may result in delays or shortages in, as well as increased costs of, equipment, materials or other resources that are critical to our business operations. You should read UGI Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for a more extensive list of factors that could affect our results.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information or future events except as required by the federal securities laws.
