Walsh, UGI's President and Chief Operating Officer, will be named President and Chief Executive Officer of UGI upon Mr. Greenberg's retirement. Mr. Greenberg, 62, has been UGI's Chief Executive Officer since 1995 and Chairman of its Board of Directors since 1996. Mr. Greenberg joined UGI in 1980 as Corporate Development Counsel and has served the company for over three decades in various senior management roles including General Counsel (1983-1987), Vice President – Legal and Corporate Development (1987-1989), Senior Vice President – Legal and Corporate Development (1989-1994), President (1994-2005) and Vice Chairman of the Board (1995-1996). Marvin O. Schlanger, UGI's Presiding Director, said “Lon's time as CEO will be remembered as one of truly remarkable growth and value creation for UGI's shareholders. UGI's total shareholder return during Lon's tenure is nearly 900%, an average growth rate of over 14% per year. In addition to this remarkable track record of financial success, Lon has instilled a true culture of excellence at UGI and has developed a strong management team that will serve UGI shareholders for the foreseeable future. This team will be led by John Walsh, a talented executive and a worthy successor to Lon as CEO. Although we wish Lon a long, happy and healthy future retirement, we are very pleased that UGI shareholders will continue to benefit from Lon's leadership as the non-executive Chairman of UGI's Board of Directors.”
