beginning on May 20, 2017.
The Issuers may redeem some or all of the notes at any time prior to February 20, 2025 (three months prior to the maturity date of the notes), at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus a "make whole" premium as of, and accrued and unpaid

The Issuers' obligations with respect to the notes will be joint and several. The notes will be unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers and will

We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide any information other than that incorporated by reference or contained in
this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or in any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have
referred you. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you.
We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information
contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the
date of the applicable document.
This document is in two parts. The first part is the prospectus supplement, which describes our business and the specific terms of this offering. The
second part, the accompanying prospectus, gives more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we
refer only to the "prospectus," we are referring to both parts combined. If the description of the offering varies between this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may contain forward-
looking statements. Such statements use forward-looking words such as "believe," "plan," "anticipate," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "may,"
or other similar words. These statements discuss plans, strategies, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the
future.
A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. We believe that
we have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, we caution you that actual results almost always
vary from assumed facts or bases, and the differences between actual results and assumed facts or bases can be material, depending on the
circumstances. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the following important factors that could affect our future
results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements:


· adverse weather conditions resulting in reduced demand;


· cost volatility and availability of propane, and the capacity to transport propane to our customers;


· the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisition or combination opportunities;


· successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses and achievement of anticipated synergies;


· changes in laws and regulations, including safety, tax, consumer protection, environmental, and accounting matters;


· competitive pressures from the same and alternative energy sources;


· failure to acquire new customers and retain current customers thereby reducing or limiting any increase in revenues;


· liability for environmental claims;

· increased customer conservation measures due to high energy prices and improvements in energy efficiency and technology resulting in

reduced demand;


· adverse labor relations;


· customer, counterparty, supplier or vendor defaults;
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/932628/000119312516793001/d304280d424b2.htm[12/14/2016 4:23:48 PM]


424B2

· liability for uninsured claims and for claims in excess of insurance coverage, including those for personal injury and property damage

arising from explosions, terrorism, and other catastrophic events that may result from operating hazards and risks incidental to
transporting, storing and distributing propane, butane and ammonia;


· political, regulatory and economic conditions in the United States and foreign countries;


· capital market conditions, including reduced access to capital markets and interest rate fluctuations;


· changes in commodity market prices resulting in significantly higher cash collateral requirements;


· the impact of pending and future legal proceedings;


· the availability, timing and success of our acquisitions and investments to grow our business; and


· the interruption, disruption, failure or malfunction of our information technology systems, including due to cyber attack.
These factors, and the factors addressed under the heading "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and "Risk Factors" in AmeriGas
Partners' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily all of the important factors that could
cause actual results to differ

materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material
adverse effects on our business, financial condition or future results. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement
whether as a result of new information or future events except as required by the federal securities laws.
This offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the closing of the offering, and the offering is subject to the terms of this prospectus
supplement. We and the underwriters also reserve the right to reject any offer to purchase notes in whole or in part for any reason and to allot to
any prospective investor less than the full amount of notes sought by such investor.

basis, which includes AmeriGas Finance Corp., and our operating partnership, AmeriGas Propane, L.P. References to our "general partner"
refer to AmeriGas Propane, Inc.; references to "AmeriGas Propane" or our "operating partnership" refer to AmeriGas Propane, L.P.;
references to "AmeriGas Finance" refer to AmeriGas Finance Corp.; and references to the "Issuers" refer to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. and
AmeriGas Finance Corp. References to "fiscal year" are to our fiscal years ending September 30; for example, references to "fiscal 2016"
are to our fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
Our Business
We are a publicly traded limited partnership formed under Delaware law on November 2, 1994, and are the largest retail propane
distributor in the United States based on the volume of propane gallons distributed annually. AmeriGas Propane, Inc. is our general partner and
is responsible for managing our operations. We are a holding company, and we conduct our business principally through our operating
partnership, AmeriGas Propane, L.P.
We serve over 1.9 million residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, wholesale and motor fuel customers in all 50 states from
approximately 1,900 propane distribution locations. In addition to distributing propane, we also sell, install and service propane appliances,
including heating systems, and operate a residential heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, and related services business in certain
counties of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. Typically, our propane distribution locations are in suburban and rural areas where natural
gas is not readily available. Our local offices generally consist of a business office and propane storage. As part of our overall transportation
and distribution infrastructure, we operate as an interstate carrier throughout the continental United States.
We sell propane primarily to residential, commercial/industrial, motor fuel, agricultural and wholesale customers. We distributed over
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/932628/000119312516793001/d304280d424b2.htm[12/14/2016 4:23:48 PM]


424B2
1.1 billion gallons of propane in fiscal 2016. Approximately 96% of our fiscal 2016 sales (based on gallons sold) were to retail accounts and
approximately 4% were to wholesale and supply customers. Sales to residential customers in fiscal 2016 represented approximately 38% of
retail gallons sold; commercial/industrial customers 36%; motor fuel customers 17%; and agricultural customers 5%. Transport gallons, which
are large-scale deliveries to retail customers other than residential, accounted for 4% of fiscal 2016 retail gallons. No single customer
represents, or is anticipated to represent, more than 5% of our consolidated revenues.
We also continue to expand our AmeriGas Cylinder Exchange ("ACE") program. At September 30, 2016, ACE cylinders were available
at nearly 54,000 retail locations throughout the United States. Sales of our ACE cylinders to retailers are included in commercial/industrial
sales. The ACE program enables consumers to purchase or exchange propane cylinders at various retail locations such as home centers, gas
stations, mass merchandisers and grocery and convenience stores. We also supply retailers with large propane tanks to enable retailers to
replenish customers' propane cylinders directly at the retailer's location.
Residential and commercial customers use propane primarily for heating, water heating and cooking purposes. Commercial users include
hotels, restaurants, churches, warehouses, and retail stores. Industrial customers use propane to fire furnaces, as a cutting gas and in other
process applications. Other industrial customers are large-scale heating accounts and local gas utility customers who use propane as a
supplemental fuel to meet peak load deliverability requirements. As a motor fuel, propane is burned in internal combustion engines that power
over-the-road vehicles, forklifts, commercial lawn mowers and


S-3

stationary engines. Agricultural uses include tobacco curing, chicken brooding, crop drying, and orchard heating. In our wholesale operations,
we principally sell propane to large industrial end-users and other propane distributors.
The common units of AmeriGas Partners, representing limited partner interests, trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "APU."
Our executive offices are located at 460 North Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406. Our telephone number is (610) 337-
7000 and our website address is http://www.amerigas.com. The information on our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus
supplement. The reference to our website address is intended as an inactive textual reference only.
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to grow by (i) developing internal sales and marketing programs to improve customer service and attract and retain
customers, (ii) leveraging our scale and driving productivity, and (iii) pursuing opportunistic acquisitions. We regularly consider and evaluate
opportunities for growth through the acquisition of local, regional and national propane distributors. We compete for acquisitions with others
engaged in the propane distribution business. During fiscal 2016, we completed the acquisition of six propane distribution businesses. We
expect that internal growth will be provided in part from the continued expansion of our ACE program, through which consumers can
purchase propane cylinders or exchange propane cylinders at various retail locations, and our National Accounts program, through which we
encourage multi-location propane users to enter into a supply agreement with us rather than with many suppliers. During fiscal 2016, we
made significant investments in technology to reduce operational costs while improving customer experience. For example, we (i) redesigned
our website, enabling customers to pay bills online and seek customer support, (ii) increased our use of mobility to more efficiently deploy our
drivers and make deliveries to customers, and (iii) networked our call centers, enabling employees to reroute calls based on volume and
customer wait time. In addition, we strive to achieve superior safety performance.
Our Competitive Strengths
Scale as largest U.S. retail propane distributor
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, we distributed over 1.1 billion gallons of propane, with approximately 96% of our
sales (based on gallons sold) to retail accounts. We operate an extensive storage and distribution network in order to transport propane to local
market distribution locations, positioning us to serve propane consumers in all 50 states.
Geographic and customer diversity
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, we served over 1.9 million residential, commercial/industrial, motor fuel, agricultural
and wholesale customers in all 50 states. Our broad national footprint reduces our exposure to adverse warm weather patterns in any one area
of the United States. Our geographic coverage and scale also enable us to enter strategic relationships with large home centers, railroads, gas
stations, convenience stores and other types of businesses with multiple locations.

AmeriGas Finance LLC is one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. It has nominal assets and does not conduct any operations or have any
employees. It was formed in 2011 for the sole purpose of acting as an issuer or co-obligor of debt securities that we may issue or guarantee

(1) Earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA as adjusted
for the effects of gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and other gains and
losses that competitors do not necessarily have) should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership
(as an indicator of operating performance) and are not measures of performance or financial condition under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are meaningful non-GAAP
financial measures used by investors to (1) compare the Partnership's operating performance with that of other companies within the
propane industry and (2) assess the Partnership's ability to meet its loan covenants. The Partnership's definitions of EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA may be different from those used by other companies.


Management uses EBITDA to compare year-over-year profitability of the business without regard to capital structure as well as to
compare the relative performance of the Partnership to that of other master limited partnerships without regard to their financing methods,
capital structure, income taxes or historical cost basis. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to exclude from the Partnership's EBITDA,
gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and other gains and losses that
competitors do not necessarily have to provide additional insight into the comparison of year-over-year profitability to that of other master
limited partnerships. In view of the omission of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization from EBITDA and gains and losses
on commodity derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and other gains and losses that competitors do not
necessarily have from Adjusted EBITDA, management also assesses the profitability of the business by comparing net income attributable
to the Partnership for the relevant years.


Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the Partnership's profitability because its parent, UGI Corporation, uses the
Partnership's Adjusted EBITDA to assess the profitability of the Partnership, which is one of UGI Corporation's industry segments. UGI
Corporation discloses the Partnership's Adjusted EBITDA in its disclosures about its industry segments as the profitability measure for its
domestic propane segment.


The following table includes reconciliations of net income attributable to the Partnership to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for all
periods presented:
