Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of investors of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains GP Holdings, L.P. ("PAA" or the "Company") (NYSE:PAA, PAGP). The investigation concerns whether the Company violated federal securities laws by issuing materially misleading information regarding its operations and safety standards. Investors that have suffered over $100,000 in damages following the recent PAA securities price decline are encouraged to contact Howard G. Smith, Esq. to discuss their legal rights.

The investigation concerns whether the Company failed to disclose the lack of safety and compliance measures in the Company’s pipeline operations; while PAA executives characterized its Line 901 pipeline off the coast of Santa Barbara, California as “state of the art,” with an oil spill qualified as “extremely unlikely.”

On May 19, 2015, Line 901 ruptured, causing a spill that damaged miles environmentally sensitive and protected coastline in Santa Barbara, California. The Company downplayed the impact of the spill to investors, however the truth was that the spill’s impact was far greater than PAA communicated to investors.

The truth was fully revealed on August 5, 2015, when defendants announced that the Line 901 spill was much greater than initially estimated and that the U.S. Department of Justice had initiated a criminal investigation. In response to disclosures concerning the spill and the truth about the Company’s operations, the price of PAA securities have declined sharply in value.

If you purchased PAA securities and have suffered damages of over $100,000, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020 by telephone at (215) 638-4847, toll-free at (888) 638-4847, or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com, or visit our website at http://www.howardsmithlaw.com.
