Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On May 12, 2026, a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Seller”) of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA” or the “Registrant”), 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 (as amended to date, the “SPA”).

 

Pursuant to the SPA, Seller received cash consideration of approximately CAD $5.13 billion (approximately USD $3.76 billion), subject to certain post-closing adjustments as defined in the SPA. Net proceeds from the sale of approximately $3.3 billion, after taxes and expenses, will be used to reduce leverage, including repayment of outstanding borrowings under PAA’s commercial paper program, the term loan described in Item 1.02 below and PAA’s 4.50% senior notes due December 2026, and for other general partnership purposes.

 

In connection with the closing of the sale of the Canadian NGL Business, PAA and Keyera have entered into certain transition services agreements pursuant to which PAA and Keyera will provide certain services to support the transition of the Canadian NGL Business, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

 

The SPA contains customary representations, warranties and covenants for a representation and warranty insurance transaction and customary termination provisions, as well as mutual indemnification provisions for breaches of certain of the representations, warranties and covenants in the SPA, subject to certain limitations.

 

The foregoing description of the closing of the sale of the Canadian NGL Business and the SPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SPA and each amendment thereto, each of which are exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 26, 2025, PAA entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) by and among PAA, as borrower, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Term Loan Agreement provides for a $1.1 billion senior unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”), which was funded on December 1, 2025. The Term Loan will mature on the two-year anniversary of the closing date of the Term Loan Agreement; however, PAA may at any time prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The closing of the sale of the Canadian NGL Business as described in Item 2.01 above triggers mandatory prepayment of all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement within seven (7) business days of the closing of such sale. Effective May 14, 2026, PAA intends to terminate the Term Loan Agreement and repay all amounts outstanding thereunder.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On May 12, 2026, PAA and Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (“PAGP”) issued a press release announcing the closing of the sale of the Canadian NGL Business to Keyera. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information contained in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

 

The Registrant has omitted the inclusion of any pro forma financial information as the transaction has already been included as discontinued operations within the Registrant’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, included within PAA’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026, and within the Registrant’s Consolidated Financial Statements for each of the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, included within PAA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
