The dollar amounts shown in these columns reflect CAP as calculated in accordance with SEC rules. As required, the dollar amounts include (among other items) values for unvested equity compensation that may or may not be realized in future periods, and as such, the dollar amounts shown do not necessarily represent the actual amount of compensation earned or paid during the applicable years.
​
(3)
TSR figures assume an initial investment of $100 in PAA on December 31, 2019. The peer group referenced for purposes of the TSR comparison is the group of companies included in the Alerian Midstream Energy Index, which is the same index used for purposes of Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K.

The adjustments made to the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) amounts to determine CAP are shown in the tables below:

​
(a)
As shown in the table, the CAP total represents the SCT total for the covered fiscal year, but adjusted as required by SEC rules to replace the grant date fair value of awards granted during the covered fiscal year with the fair value of current and prior year equity awards that were
​
outstanding at the end of the covered fiscal year or that vested or were forfeited during the covered fiscal year. Our NEOs do not participate in a defined benefit plan; therefore, no adjustment for pension benefits is included.
