I, Jessica Milner, serve as Deputy General Counsel of UGI Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the Company). My opinion has been requested in connection with the Companys filing, on May 18, 2021, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) of a prospectus supplement (as amended and supplemented, the Prospectus Supplement) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-256180) (as amended, the Registration Statement), including a base prospectus (such base prospectus, together with the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), relating to the registration of certain securities, including up to 2,200,000 equity units of the Company, each initially consisting of a unit referred to as a Corporate Unit (collectively, the Corporate Units) consisting of (i) a Common Stock Purchase Contract (each a Purchase Contract) to be issued under the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021 (the Purchase Contract Agreement), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Purchase Contract Agent (in such capacity, the Purchase Contract Agent), Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary, and (ii) a 10% undivided beneficial interest in one share of 0.125% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value, of the Company (the Convertible Preferred Stock). The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are being issued pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of the Convertible Preferred Stock, as filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Pennsylvania on May 25, 2021 (the Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations).
