Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Research Report

On August 27, 2013, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA) announced its proposal to the independent directors of the board of directors of the general partner of PAA Natural Gas Storage, L.P. (PNG) to acquire all of PNG's outstanding publicly-held common units via a unit-for-unit exchange. According to the Company, the proposal considers a deal of c. 0.44 common units of PAA for each issued and outstanding publicly-held PNG common unit. Chairman and CEO of PAA, Greg L. Armstrong, commented, "While PAA shares PNG's positive views about the intermediate to long term outlook for natural gas storage, it is difficult to predict the timing and extent of a recovery in natural gas storage market conditions. Accordingly, it is clear that the next several years will be challenging for PNG on a stand-alone basis. We believe that the proposal provides an attractive opportunity for PNG's common unit holders to realize a value that reflects an appropriate balance between the intermediate to long term value of PNG's storage business and the uncertainty associated with a near-term challenging environment."
