Analysis · PAGP · Energy & Transportation
A $1.5 billion junior subordinated notes offering was completed by PAA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Plains GP Holdings, consisting of $700 million of 6.750% Series A and $800 million of 7.000% Series B, both due 2056. The notes are unsecured and rank junior to existing senior debt, with interest rates subject to reset in 2031 and 2036. This adds significant long-dated, subordinated leverage to the capital structure, extending the maturity profile while increasing interest expense. The filing also includes pro forma financials for the previously completed EPIC Crude Holdings acquisitions, showing pro forma net income attributable to PAGP of $135 million for 2025 versus $152 million historical — a modest reduction reflecting incremental interest and depreciation from the deal.
