Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE:PAA)
announced today that it has priced an underwritten public offering of
5,000,000 of its common units representing limited partner interests at
$80.03 per common unit. The offering is expected to close on March 9,
2012. The Partnership has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option
to purchase up to 750,000 additional common units to cover
over-allotments, if any.
The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds of the offering,
including the proceeds from any exercise of the over-allotment option,
to fund a portion of the proposed acquisition (the "BP NGL Acquisition")
of BP Canada Energy Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of BP Corporation
North America, Inc. Pending the application of the net proceeds to fund
the BP NGL Acquisition, the Partnership intends to repay all borrowings
outstanding under the PAA credit facilities and use the balance for
general partnership purposes. If the BP NGL Acquisition is not
consummated for any reason, the Partnership will use the net proceeds
for general partnership purposes, including future acquisitions and
capital program expenditures.
Barclays Capital, BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, UBS
Investment Bank and Wells Fargo Securities are joint book-running
managers of the offering.
