UGI Utilities, Inc. (UGI) is aware of the report published today, on the U.S. National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) website, regarding an incident that occurred in
Millersville, PA on July 2, 2017 involving UGI facilities. UGI has cooperated fully with
the NTSB in its investigation of this incident. Previously, UGI carefully reviewed the

opportunities for fire department and other first responders, expanding employee safety
awareness; development of an enhanced Company safety culture; refined safety policies;
increased focus on utilization of Incident Command System (ICS) protocols; and
enhanced cooperation with electric utilities operating within the UGI service territory to
eliminate potential sources of ignition during response to natural gas incidents.
