Item 8.01 Other Events

On May 3, 2012, Suburban Propane Partners, L.P.

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2012, Suburban consummated its acquisition of the retail propane business of Inergy, L.P. (“NRGY”). Attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein are updated unaudited financial statements of Inergy Propane, LLC and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro forma financial information

On May 3, 2012, Suburban filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that included in Exhibit 99.3 unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of and for the six months ended March 24, 2012 and for the year ended September 24, 2011. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared to give effect to the acquisition of NRGY’s retail propane business. Such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was updated in Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2012.

On July 6, 2012, Suburban announced that it further increased the interest rates on the notes being offered to NRGY noteholders in the exchange offers for their NRGY notes and further increased the cash consent payment being offered to the NRGY noteholders in connection with the related consent solicitations. Such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was updated in Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 6, 2012.

On July 19, 2012, Suburban announced that it entered into a third amendment (the “Amendment No. 3”) to the Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2012, as amended on June 15, 2012 and July 6, 2012, with NRGY, Inergy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Inergy Sales & Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Amendment No. 3 provided that up to approximately $87.1 million (subject to adjustment in connection with the completion of Suburban’s exchange offers for certain of NRGY’s outstanding senior unsecured notes) of the cash consideration to be delivered by Suburban to NRGY pursuant to the Contribution Agreement shall be effected and satisfied by Suburban delivering, or causing to be delivered, to Inergy up to 2,048,282 additional Suburban common units (the “Additional Equity Consideration”). Updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflecting the terms of Amendment No. 3, specifically the issuance of the Additional Equity Consideration and the decrease in cash consideration paid, was filed as Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 19, 2012. In addition, such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumed a draw of $150.0 million on a senior secured 364-day term loan facility (the “364-Day Facility”) on the closing date of the acquisition.

On July 30, 2012 Suburban filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that included in Exhibit 99.1 updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to take account for an increase in the amount of cash consideration to be paid to tendering NRGY noteholders and a decrease in the value of Additional Equity Consideration to be issued on the closing date of the acquisition.

On August 1, 2012, Suburban consummated its acquisition of the retail propane business of NRGY (the “Inergy Propane Acquisition”) and drew $225 million on the 364-Day Facility. In addition, on August 2, 2012, Suburban filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that included in Exhibit 99.1 its Fiscal 2012 Third Quarter Financial Results. Attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto is updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of and for the nine months ended June 23, 2012 and for the year ended September 24, 2011 reflecting (i) the consummation of the Inergy Propane Acquisition and (ii) a draw of $225.0 million on the 364-Day Facility on the closing date of the Inergy Propane Acquisition. This updated pro forma financial information replaces the previously provided pro forma financial information in its entirety. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what our actual results of operations or financial position would have been if the acquisition of NRGY’s retail propane business had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future operating results or financial position.
