Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On December 1, 2011, AmeriGas Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Contribution and Redemption Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”), dated as of October 15, 2011, with Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ETP”), Energy Transfer Partners GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of ETP, and Heritage ETC, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Contributor”, and collectively, the “Contributor Parties”).
The Contribution Agreement had provided that, (i) as a condition to the completion of the Transaction, the Contributor Parties would deliver to the Company certain audited historical financial statements of Titan Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Titan”), and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) as a condition to the commencement of the Marketing Period (as such term is defined in the Contribution Agreement), the Contributor Parties would deliver to the Company certain financial statements of Heritage Operating, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“HOLP”), and its consolidated subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Titan and its consolidated subsidiaries, on the other hand. The Amendment modifies the Contributor Parties’ obligations with respect to the delivery of financial statements by generally providing that ETP will not be required to deliver separate audited financial statements related to Titan and HOLP and their respective consolidated subsidiaries, but instead be required to deliver combined audited financial statements of HOLP and Titan and their respective consolidated subsidiaries.
The above 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, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the full text of the Contribution Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2011, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
