Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 30, 2015, UGI Energy Services, LLC ("UGI LLC"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UGI Corporation ("Registrant"), and Energy Services Funding Corporation ("ESFC"), a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of UGI LLC, entered into Amendment No. 16 (the "Amendment") to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "RPA"), among UGI LLC, as servicer, ESFC, as seller, and PNC Bank, National Association, as issuer and administrator ("PNC"). The Amendment provides for (i) changing the Facility Termination Date from October 30, 2015 to October 28, 2016, and (ii) changing the definition of Purchase Limit to mean (x) at any time on or after October 30, 2015 and prior to but excluding May 1, 2016, $150,000,000 and (y) at any time on or after May 1, 2016, $75,000,000. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the RPA, as amended by the Amendment.
The underlying RPA was entered into in conjunction with a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "PSA") between UGI LLC and ESFC. Under the RPA, UGI LLC transfers, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, its trade accounts receivable to ESFC. ESFC, in turn, has in the past sold, and subject to certain conditions, may from time to time in the future sell, an undivided interest in some or all of the receivables to PNC, as successor to the Issuer. ESFC’s and UGI LLC’s obligations under the RPA and PSA are secured by all receivables under the receivables pool, as well as the related security, the collections thereof and the lock-box accounts into which the proceeds thereof are to be remitted.
As amended, the scheduled termination date of the RPA is October 28, 2016, although the RPA may terminate prior to such date upon a termination event. The RPA contains customary indemnifications by ESFC and UGI LLC as servicer, as well as customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants applicable to ESFC as seller and UGI LLC as servicer for agreements of this type.
The PSA provides for customary termination events (in certain cases, with grace or cure periods), including, among other things, in the event of nonpayment of amounts due under the RPA, a representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made, failure to comply with covenants and limitations on certain ratios with respect to receivables, and a change of control of UGI LLC or ESFC.
PNC or its affiliates has in the past made, and may in the future make, loans to the Registrant or its affiliates, provide other fee-based financial services, and act in various agency roles under credit facilities of the Registrant or its affiliates. Affiliates of PNC have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, the Registrant or its affiliates with investment banking and advisory services for which they have received, and in the future may receive, customary compensation.
