Explanation of responses
- F1The terms of the Class B Units in Plains AAP, L.P., which represent a profits interest, have been modified, resulting (for accounting and reporting purposes) in the deemed cancellation of the original Class B Units and deemed grant of replacement Class B Units described in footnote (2) below. The original Class B Units were granted on July 28, 2015.
- F2As modified, the Class B Units become earned (entitled to receive distributions) as follows: (i) subsequent to March 31, 2017, 50% upon the payment by Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA") of an annualized quarterly distribution of $2.20 per common unit and the generation by PAA of distributable cash flow ("DCF") of $1.5 billion or more on a trailing four quarter basis; (ii) 25% upon the payment by PAA of an annualized quarterly distribution of $2.30 per common unit and the generation by PAA of DCF of $1.75 billion or more on a trailing four quarter basis; (iii) 25% upon the payment by PAA of an annualized quarterly distribution of $2.40 per common unit and the generation by PAA of DCF of $1.9 billion or more on a trailing four quarter basis; and (iv) 25% upon the payment by PAA of an annualized quarterly distribution of $2.40 per common unit and the generation by PAA of DCF of $2.05 billion or more on a trailing four quarter basis.
- F3For each of the performance thresholds, the referenced DCF level will be subject to adjustment under certain circumstances to account for significant asset sales.
- F4The Class B Units are subject to a call right in the event Reporting Person's employment is terminated under certain circumstances prior to December 31, 2022. If Reporting Person remains employed after such date, the Class B Units will be deemed to have vested. Reporting Person has the right to convert his vested Class B Units into a number of Class A Units in Plains AAP, L.P. and Class B Shares in Plains GP Holdings, L.P. equal to the number of Class B Units converted times a conversion factor of approximately 0.941:1. Following any such conversion, the resulting Class A Units and Class B Shares are exchangeable for Class A Shares of PAGP on a one-for-one basis.
