ITEM 3.02           Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On February 23, 2017, Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (“PAGP”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale by PAGP, and purchase by the Underwriters, of 42,000,000 Class A shares representing limited partner interests in PAGP (the “Class A Shares”).  PAGP also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 6,300,000 additional Class A Shares (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On February 24, 2017, the Underwriters exercised in full their Over-Allotment Option.

 

Pursuant to that certain Omnibus Agreement dated as of November 15, 2016 (the “Omnibus Agreement”), by and among PAGP, PAA GP Holdings LLC, Plains AAP, L.P. (“AAP”), PAA GP LLC and Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the “Partnership”), PAGP has agreed, among other things, to use the net proceeds from any public or private offering and sale of Class A Shares, including the net proceeds of  the above mentioned offering, after deducting the sales agents’ commissions and offering expenses, to purchase from AAP a number of AAP Class A units equal to the number of PAGP Class A Shares sold in such offering at a price equal to the net proceeds from such offering. The Omnibus Agreement also provides that immediately following such purchase and sale, AAP will use the net proceeds it receives from such sale of AAP Class A units to PAGP to purchase from the Partnership an equivalent number of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units” ) .

 

The PAGP offering closed on March 1, 2017. In connection with the closing of the PAGP offering and pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, the Partnership issued 48,300,000 Common Units to AAP. The Partnership issued the Common Units in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

The Partnership received approximately $1.474 billion in net proceeds from the sale of Common Units to AAP. The Partnership intends to use such net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes, including acquisitions, joint venture investments and other expansion capital expenditures. Amounts repaid under PAA’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility may be reborrowed to fund its ongoing expansion capital program, future acquisitions and investments or for general partnership purposes.
