        <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 by 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 31, 2020, KAFU Holdings (QP), L.P. exercised the Redemption Right with respect to an aggregate 21,566 Class A Units.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">KAFU Holdings (QP), L.P. (&quot;KAFU&quot;) owns an equivalent number of Class A Units, Class B Shares and GP Units.  KACALP is the managing member of the manager 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="F3">The reported transactions involve an in-kind distribution to redeeming limited partners of KAFU Holdings (QP), L.P.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">In a simultaneous transaction, KAFU exercised the exchange right provided for in the limited partnership agreement of AAP with respect to 666 Class A units.  As a result, such Class A units were cancelled and 666 Class A Shares of PAGP were issued to KAFU.  The number of derivative securities owned reflects both the redemption transaction reported herein and the simultaneous exchange transaction.</footnote>
