Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 15, 2012, Inergy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Inergy"), Inergy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Inergy Sales & Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Suburban"), entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the parties' Contribution Agreement dated April 25, 2012 (the "Contribution Agreement"), pursuant to which Inergy agreed to contribute its retail propane business to Suburban. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Suburban is conducting exchange offers and related consent solicitations (the "Exchange Offers") for up to $1.2 billion of certain of Inergy's outstanding senior unsecured notes (the "Inergy Notes"). The Amendment provides that Suburban will offer a $50.0 million cash consent payment in connection with the Exchange Offers and that Inergy will pay $14.75 million to Suburban in cash at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment that is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 3, 2012, Inergy filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that included in Exhibit 99.1 thereto unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. Such unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information was prepared to give effect to the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

Inergy is updating its unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information to reflect the impact of the parties' entry into the Amendment. The impact to Inergy's unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 results in a decrease to cash and cash equivalents of $4.0 million, an increase to long-term debt, less current portion, of $10.8 million and a decrease to total partners' capital of $14.8 million. The impact to Inergy's unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and for the year ended September 30, 2011 results in an increase in interest expense, net, of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Inergy is further updating its unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information to reflect the impact of the value of the Suburban common units to be received based on the terms of the Contribution Agreement. The value of these Suburban common units as of June 12, 2012 is $523.8 million. The impact to Inergy's unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 results in a decrease to investments of $76.2 million and a decrease to total partners' capital of $76.2 million.

Forward Looking Statements

Information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K may include certain statements concerning expectations for the future that are forward-looking statements as defined by federal securities law. Such forward-looking statements may include statements preceded by, followed by or that contain forward-looking terminology, including the words "believe," "expect," "may," "should," "could," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend" or the negation thereof, or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond management's control. Among those is the risk that the conditions to closing the Contribution Agreement are not met or that the anticipated benefits from the proposed transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement cannot be fully realized. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or any underlying assumption proves incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those referred to in the forward-looking statements are: weather conditions that vary significantly from historically normal conditions; the general level of petroleum product demand and the availability of propane supplies; the price of propane to the consumer compared to the price of alternative and competing fuels; the demand for high deliverability natural gas

storage capacity in the Northeast; Inergy's ability to successfully implement its business plan; the outcome of rate decisions levied by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; Inergy's ability to generate available cash for distribution to unitholders; and the costs and effects of legal, regulatory and administrative proceedings against, or that may be brought against, Inergy or its subsidiaries. These and other risks and assumptions are described in Inergy's annual reports on Form 10-K and other reports that are available from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's view only as of the date made. Inergy undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as otherwise required by law.
