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.

Forw a rd-look ing st a t e m e nt s
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;

· 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;
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/932628/000119312517033403/d330038d424b2.htm[2/8/2017 9:23:46 AM]

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

· the impact of pending and future legal proceedings;

S-1

· 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.

Our busine ss
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 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
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/932628/000119312517033403/d330038d424b2.htm[2/8/2017 9:23:46 AM]


424B2
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


S-3
Table of Contents
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 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 st ra t e gy
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 c om pe t it ive st re ngt hs
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.

(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 Adjusted 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 reportable segments. UGI Corporation discloses the Partnership's Adjusted
EBITDA in its disclosures about its reportable segments as the profitability measure for its domestic propane segment.
