Plains GP Holdings LP Announces $2.7B Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
What Happened Plains GP Holdings LP (PAGP) disclosed that its subsidiary, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA), on June 12, 2026 entered into a new unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement providing committed borrowing capacity of $2.7 billion. The facility replaces PAA’s prior revolving credit agreement and Plains Marketing’s hedged inventory facility, which were repaid in full and terminated on closing. The new facility matures on June 12, 2031 and may be increased to $4.0 billion if additional lender commitments are obtained.
Key Details
- Committed capacity: $2.7 billion; optional increase to $4.0 billion with lender commitments.
- Letter of credit capacity: up to $800 million; swing line loans: up to $225 million.
- Canadian borrowing: designated Canadian subsidiaries may access up to $1.0 billion (U.S. dollar equivalent) in advances/LCs; PAA guarantees Designated Borrowers’ payment obligations.
- Interest/fees: loans priced at Term SOFR, Base Rate, Canadian Term Rate or Canadian Prime Rate plus a margin tied to PAA’s credit rating; LC fees and commitment fees also use the applicable margin.
- Financial covenant: Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to adjusted Consolidated EBITDA must not exceed 5.00:1.00 (increases to 5.50:1.00 during an Acquisition Period).
- Standard protective covenants and events of default apply (limits on liens, additional indebtedness, asset sales, affiliate transactions); lenders may terminate commitments and accelerate debt on default.
- Effective termination of prior facilities: Existing Revolving Credit Agreement and Hedged Inventory Facility were repaid and terminated on June 12, 2026.
Why It Matters This new unsecured revolving credit facility updates Plains’ primary short-term liquidity and borrowing flexibility, giving the company multi-year committed capacity and expanded letter-of-credit and swing-line availability. The covenant (max ~5.0x leverage) and unsecured nature are important for creditors and investors assessing financial flexibility and refinancing risk. Replacing the prior facilities simplifies Plains’ credit structure and extends the maturity profile to 2031, which affects near-term liquidity planning and capital management.
