Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 29, 2015, Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Bridger, LLC (“Bridger”) to acquire from Bridger all of the outstanding membership interests of Bridger Logistics, LLC (“Bridger Logistics”) and its subsidiaries for approximately $562.5 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments for working capital, indebtedness, and transaction expenses, and 11,200,000 common units of the Partnership (the “Acquisition”).

The Partnership and Bridger have made customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Purchase Agreement and the completion of the Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including the expiration or early termination of any required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.  The Purchase Agreement is subject to termination by either the Partnership or Bridger for various reasons, including their mutual written consent and if the Acquisition does not close on or before September 1, 2015 or, if all conditions to closing have been satisfied by September 1, 2015 other than the termination or expiration period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, October 1, 2015.

This summary of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.  The representations and warranties of the Partnership and Bridger in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the respective counterparty.  The Purchase Agreement is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto and is not intended to be a source of factual, business, or operational information about the Partnership or Bridger Logistics and their respective subsidiaries. The representations and warranties made by the Partnership and Bridger in the Purchase Agreement may be (i) qualified by disclosure schedules containing information that modifies, qualifies or creates exceptions to such representations and warranties and (ii) subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.  Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.

In connection with the financing of the Acquisition, on May 29, 2015, the Partnership entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “Commitment Parties”).  The Commitment Letter provides that the Commitment Parties will commit to provide to Ferrellgas, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) senior unsecured loans under a bridge facility.  The bridge facility will only be drawn if the Partnership and the Operating Partnership receive less than $550 million in gross cash proceeds from specified securities transactions at or prior to the closing of the Acquisition.

Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

A copy of the press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the presentation for the Partnership’s conference call is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the press release and presentation are deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information and Exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
