The acquisition of these high-quality businesses reaffirms our commitment to add value for our shareholders through profitable growth in Europe. The acquired businesses provide UGI with an attractive opportunity to expand our footprint in northern Europe to LPG markets that are in close proximity to our existing operations in France and Central Europe.
