Ferrellgas selects new board of directors

June 1, 2026 By Sydney Fischer 0 Comments

Ferrellgas selected its latest board of directors and updated the public on the progress of its long-term succession planning.

As previously disclosed last fall, Ferrellgas successfully renewed and extended its Credit Agreement and completed the refinancing of its Senior Notes due 2026, addressing near-term maturities. In addition, in March, the company completed the conversion of all outstanding Class B Units into Class A Units. These transactions provided the company with greater financial flexibility, enhanced liquidity and a more simplified capital structure, providing a more stable foundation for future growth, says Ferrellgas.

Building on these achievements, the company appointed Andrew Safran to its board of directors. Safran brings more than three decades of investment banking and private equity experience, with a specialization in natural resources and energy infrastructure.

Pamela A. Breuckmann has been appointed vice chair of the board. Breuckmann’s elevated role reflects her significant contributions to the company, her deep institutional knowledge and her important role in advancing the company’s governance and succession planning initiatives, says Ferrellgas.

“These announcements represent another important step in the continued evolution of our governance and leadership structure,” says Tamria Zertuche, president and CEO of Ferrellgas. “Following the successful completion of several key financial and capital structure initiatives, we remain focused on positioning Ferrellgas for long-term success.”

Jim Ferrell will continue to serve as chairman of the board. Since assuming leadership of the family business in 1965, he transformed a small, local operation into a Fortune 1000 company and one of the largest propane retailers in the United States, according to Ferrellgas. He previously served as president of the World Liquid Gas Association and was a 2012 inductee into the LP Gas Hall of Fame.

“These actions reflect meaningful progress across multiple dimensions of our business,” says Ferrell. “We have strengthened our balance sheet, simplified our structure and enhanced our leadership. Andrew brings decades of leadership experience across the energy, infrastructure and financial sectors, and we are pleased to welcome him to the board. In addition, Pamela’s appointment as vice chair reflects her deep commitment to the Company and her strong contributions to the board over many years.”
