This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed by each of Plains AAP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AAP”), Plains All American GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GP LLC”), Plains GP Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“PAGP”), and PAA GP Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PAGP GP” and, together with AAP, GP LLC and PAGP, the “Reporting Persons”), to amend the Schedule 13D filed on November 21, 2016  (the “Schedule 13D”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

On February 2, 2017 and February 28, 2017, an owner of AAP Class A units exercised its right to effect an AAP Unit Redemption (a “Redemption Right”) with respect to 75,000 and 80,000 AAP Class A units, respectively, resulting in the cancellation of such AAP Class A units and the distribution of an equal number of PAA Common Units from AAP to the redeeming partner.

 

On December 30, 2016, two owners of AAP Class A units exercised Redemption Rights with respect to an aggregate 3,035,517 AAP Class A units, resulting in the cancellation of such AAP Class A units and the distribution of 3,035,517 PAA Common Units from AAP to the redeeming partners.

 

Mr. Greg Armstrong, one of the Listed Persons included on Schedule 1 hereto, disposed of an aggregate of 20,000 PAA Common Units pursuant to a gift transaction effected in January 2017.

 

From December 28, 2016 through the date of this Amendment, PAGP sold an aggregate 1,786,326 Class A shares under its continuous equity offering program and used the net proceeds therefrom to purchase an equivalent number of AAP Class A units. AAP used such net proceeds to purchase an equivalent number of Common Units from PAA.

 

On February 14, 2017, PAGP issued a total of 7,810 Class A shares in connection with the vesting of awards outstanding under its long-term incentive plan.  In connection with such vesting and pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, PAA issued a total of 7,810 Common Units to AAP.

 

On February 23, 2017, PAGP entered into an underwriting agreement with the 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 of PAGP.  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. The PAGP offering closed on March 1, 2017. In connection with the closing of the PAGP offering and pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, PAA issued 48,300,000 Common Units to AAP.

 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety by the following:

 

6



 

(a)                                 (1)                                 AAP is the record and beneficial owner of 291,611,545 Common Units. Based on there being 723,404,994 Common Units outstanding as of March 1, 2017, AAP’s Common Units represent 40.3% of the outstanding Common Units at such time.

 

(2)                                 GP LLC, PAGP and PAGP GP may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3, be deemed to be indirect beneficial owners of the 291,611,545 Common Units owned of record by AAP.

 

(b)           The information set forth in Items 7 through 11 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference.  See Schedule 1 for the information applicable to the Listed Persons.

 

(c)           Except as described elsewhere in this Schedule 13D (as amended), none of the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the Listed Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days.

 

(d)           The owners of Class A units of AAP have the right to receive a pro rata portion of cash distributed in respect of the Common Units owned by AAP.  EMG Investment, LLC, through its 15.6% economic ownership interest in AAP, has the right to receive such distributions in respect of approximately 6.3% of the outstanding Common Units as of March 1, 2017.

 

(e)           Not applicable.
