Item 1.01 and 3.03

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On May 23, 2014, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (“Suburban”) and Suburban Energy Finance Corp. (together with Suburban, the “Issuers”), in connection with their previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to their outstanding 7 1/2% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”), entered into a Supplemental Indenture, by and among the Issuers and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”), supplementing that certain Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2012, pursuant to which the Notes were issued (the “Indenture”).

The Supplemental Indenture effects certain amendments to the Indenture which were the subject of the consent solicitation in connection with the Issuers’ tender offer for the Notes, which was launched on May 12, 2014. These amendments eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and eliminate or modify certain events of default and related provisions contained in the Indenture, in each case with respect to the Notes (but not with respect to the Issuer’s 7 3/8% Senior Notes dues 2021). The amendments will not, however, become operative until the Notes tendered in the tender offer are accepted for purchase by the Issuers pursuant to the terms thereof.

The description of the Supplemental Indenture in this Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Supplemental Indenture. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On May 27, 2014, Suburban issued a press release announcing (i) the receipt of the requisite consents in connection with its previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to the Notes and (ii) the execution of the Supplemental Indenture. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
