Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed March 3, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
("PAA") reported in a Form 8-K dated March 3, 2026 that on February 26, 2026 it and certain subsidiaries entered into two amendments with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, to its credit facilities: a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Revolver") and a Third Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Hedged Inventory Facility"). The amendments are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2. The core change is a borrower substitution: Plains Midstream Canada ULC ("PMCULC") is replaced by Plains Canada Liquid Pipelines ULC ("PCLPULC") under each facility.
PMCULC's commitments were terminated, it was released from its loan document obligations, and, for the Hedged Inventory Facility, its collateral liens were released. PCLPULC assumed the borrower obligations and, for the Hedged Inventory Facility, joined the security documents and granted a security interest in the collateral.
PAA confirmed its guaranty of borrower obligations under the Hedged Inventory Facility remains in full force and effect. The filing states that, other than the borrower substitution, the amendments did not change aggregate lender commitments, maturity dates, pricing, covenants or other material economic terms of either facility.
