        <footnote id="F1">The Eighth Amended and Restated limited partnership agreement of Plains AAP, L.P. (&quot;AAP&quot;) provides that each limited partner holding Class A Units will have the right, subject to certain limitations, to redeem its Class A Units for common units (&quot;Common Units&quot;) of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (the &quot;Issuer&quot;) held AAP on a one-for-one basis, by delivering Class A Units to AAP with the associated Class B Shares in Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (&quot;PAGP&quot;) and GP Units in PAA GP Holdings LLC (if applicable), to PAGP (the &quot;Redemption Right&quot;). The Redemption Right does not expire. On December 29, 2017, KAFU Holdings, L.P., and KAFU Holdings (QP), L.P. exercised the Redemption Right with respect to an aggregate 551,323 Class A Units.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">KAFU Holdings (QP), L.P. and KAFU Holdings, L.P. (collectively, &quot;KAFU&quot;) own an equivalent number of Class A Units, Class B Shares and GP Units.  KACALP is the manager of the general partner of KAFU and may be deemed to beneficially own the Class A Units, Class B Shares and GP Units held by KAFU.</footnote>

        <footnote id="F4">In a simultaneous transaction, KAFU exercised the exchange right provided for in the limited partnership agreement of AAP pursuant to which 223,465 Class A Units, Class B Shares and GP Units were exchanged for a like number of PAGP Class A Shares.  The number of derivative securities owned reflects both the redemption transaction reported herein and the simultaneous exchange transaction.</footnote>
