Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. Announces Pricing of Private Placement of $175 Million of 8.625% Senior Notes Due 2020

Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE:FGP) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp. (together, the “Issuers”) today announced the pricing of their previously announced private placement of 8⅝% Senior Notes due 2020.  The size of the offering was increased from $150 million to $175 million aggregate principal amount of the notes, and the notes will be issued at a price of 96.0% of par, plus accrued interest from December 15, 2016.  The offering is expected to close on January 30, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.

This offering constitutes a further issuance of the Issuers’ 8⅝% Senior Notes due 2020 first issued on April 13, 2010, of which $182 million aggregate principal amount is outstanding prior to the closing of this offering.  The notes offered in this offering will be treated as a single series with the previously issued notes for all purposes under the indenture governing the 8⅝% Senior Notes due 2020 but will have a separate CUSIP number from that of the previously issued notes and therefore will not be fungible at any time with the previously issued notes.

Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings under its operating partnership’s secured credit facility.
