Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Prices
Public Offering of Common Units
(Houston — May 7, 2008) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) announced today that it has priced an underwritten public offering of 6,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests at $46.31 per common unit. The offering is expected to close on May 12, 2008. The Partnership has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional common units to cover over-allotments, if any.
