OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Jan. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE: FGP) (the “Company”) today announced updates to its intention to voluntarily delist its common units from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

As previously announced on December 20, 2019, the Company elected to voluntarily delist from the NYSE for an indefinite period of time and the Company notified the NYSE of its intention to voluntarily delist.   

The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2019 a Form 25 relating to the delisting of its common units and anticipates that the delisting of its common units will become effective on January 10, 2020, prior to market open. The Company expects that its common units will trade on the OTC Pink market under the ticker symbol: FGPR.  The Company will remain subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company previously intended to apply to have its common units quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets. After further consideration, particularly in light of the expectation that any OTC Markets listing will be temporary, the Company no longer intends to apply to have its common units quoted on the OTCQB and instead expects that its common units will trade on the OTC Pink market.
