Plains All American Pipeline and Plains GP Holdings Announce Completion of Canadian NGL Divestiture

About this update from Plains All American Pipeline, L.p.

HOUSTON, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) (collectively, “Plains”) completed the previously announced sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Plains Midstream Canada ULC, the PAA subsidiary that owns substantially all of PAA’s natural gas liquids (NGL) business (the “Canadian NGL Business”) to Keyera Corp., an Alberta Corporation (“Keyera”), pursuant to the terms of a definitive Share Purchase Agreement dated as of June 17, 2025 (the “SPA”). Net cash proceeds from the sale were approximately $3.3 billion (net of purchase price adjustments, taxes and other related costs) and will be used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness and for other general partnership purposes. Post closing, Plains expects its leverage ratio to trend toward the middle of its targeted range of 3.25 to 3.75x. As previously disclosed, Plains does not anticipate paying a special distribution following the closing as the tax liability to unitholders resulting from the NGL divestiture is expected to be mitigated by bonus depreciation from the Cactus III acquisition. “We are excited to finalize this transaction which completes our transformation to a premier pure play crude oil midstream company. Moving forward, our business should be more durable with less commodity price volatility, and our free cash flow will be supported by reduced maintenance capital and lower corporate taxes. Our remaining crude footprint is highly competitive with integrated assets spanning from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Our asset portfolio offers customers optionality to reach multiple destinations, including Corpus Christi, which serves as the primary U.S. oil export market. We believe recent geopolitical events enhance the value of existing infrastructure in North America and Plains is well positioned to capture this value and deliver on our commitment of driving efficient growth through capital discipline, maintaining a strong balance sheet and returning capital to unitholders,” said Willie Chiang, Chairman, CEO and President.
