Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (the “Company”) today announced its intention to voluntarily delist its common units from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).

 

This announcement follows the Company’s receipt of notice from the NYSE that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards and, as a result, has been subject to the procedures outlined in Sections 801 and 802 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (see the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 26, 2019).

 

The Company has been evaluating its options with respect to its NYSE listing and after much discussion and deliberation, the Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the Company to voluntarily delist from the NYSE for an indefinite period of time.  The Company believes the delisting from the NYSE will be a temporary event.  Further, it is the Company’s position that as it resolves its balance sheet issues, which the Company is attending to with its financial and legal advisors, the issues causing the delisting likewise should be resolved.  

As such, the Company has notified the NYSE of its intent to voluntarily delist its common stock from the NYSE. The Company currently anticipates that it will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 25 relating to the delisting of its common units on or about December 30, 2019, and anticipates that the delisting of its common units will become effective on or about January 9, 2020. The Company has complied with all applicable state and federal securities laws in connection with the delisting. The Company does not expect the delisting to have any adverse effects on its business operations.

The Company intends to apply to have its common units quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets. The Company will remain subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 20, 2019, Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. issued a press release regarding its voluntary delisting from the NYSE. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
