Junior Subordinated Notes Offering and Preferred Unit Redemptions
On September 9, 2026, PAA announced that it
has priced an underwritten public offering (the “Junior Subordinated Notes Offering”) of $700 million aggregate principal amount
of 6.75% Series A Junior Subordinated Notes due 2056 and $800 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Series B Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2056. The Junior Subordinated Notes Offering is being conducted pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-281967) of PAA, which became effective on September 6, 2024, as supplemented by a Prospectus Supplement relating
to the Junior Subordinated Notes Offering, to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act. The offering
is expected to close on September 14, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
PAA intends to use the net proceeds from the Junior
Subordinated Notes Offering, together with cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings, to redeem all 58,411,908 of its outstanding Series A
preferred units (the “Series A Preferred Units”) and all 800,000 of its outstanding Series B preferred units (the
“Series B Preferred Units,” and together with the Series A Preferred Units, the “Preferred Units”) (the
“Preferred Unit Redemptions”).
On September 9, 2026, PAA issued notices
of redemption with respect to each series of the Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units will be redeemed at a redemption
price of 110% of par value of $26.25 ($28.875) per unit on or about September 14, 2026. The Series B Preferred Units will
be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of par value of $1,000 per unit, on or about October 9, 2026. The redemption prices
to be paid for each series of the Preferred Units will include accrued and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the
applicable redemption date.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is not an
offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell the Preferred Units. In addition, this Current Report on Form 8-K does not
constitute a notice of redemption of the Preferred Units. The consummation of the Junior Subordinated Notes Offering is not conditioned
on the consummation of the Preferred Unit Redemptions, and the consummation of the Preferred Unit Redemptions is not conditioned on the
consummation of the Junior Subordinated Notes Offering.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain
statements concerning expectations for the future that are forward-looking statements as defined by federal law, including without limitation
statements regarding the Offering and the Preferred Notes Redemption and the expected timing and terms thereof. Such 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. An extensive list of factors that can affect future results are discussed in PAA's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2025, any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the registration statement and prospectus
supplement discussed herein, and other documents filed from time to time with the SEC.
