Suburban Propane Announces Closing of Public Offering of Common Units

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.

("Suburban"), a nationwide distributor of propane, fuel oil and related products and services, as well as a marketer of natural gas and electricity, announced today that its underwritten public offering of 6,300,000 common units representing limited partner interests in Suburban was closed on August 14, 2012 (the "Initial Closing Date"). The offering was priced at $37.61 per common unit. Wells Fargo Securities, BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank Securities, Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan and Raymond James acted as joint book-running managers of the offering. Stifel Nicolaus Weisel acted as co-manager of the offering. On the Initial Closing Date, Suburban received approximately $226.5 million of net proceeds from the offering (after considering underwriter commissions and other estimated offering expenses). Also on the Initial Closing Date, Suburban used the net proceeds from the offering to repay its borrowing of $225 million on August 1, 2012 under its 364-day incremental term loan facility (the "364-Day Facility") provided under the First Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), dated August 1, 2012, incurred in connection with its acquisition of Inergy, L.P.'s ("Inergy") retail propane operations on that date. The Credit Agreement provides for the reinstatement and increase from $150.0 million to $250.0 million of the existing uncommitted incremental term facility under the Credit Agreement upon repayment of the 364-Day Facility.
