NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION

OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON MAY 20, 2020

 

To the holders of Class A, Class B and Class C shares of Plains GP Holdings, L.P.:

 

Due to public health concerns related to COVID-19, Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (“PAGP”) has changed the format of its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) from a physical in-person meeting to a virtual meeting format. The Annual Meeting will be held via live audio webcast on May 20, 2020 at 2:30 p.m. CDT. We expect future annual meetings to be held in person.

 

The record date for determining PAGP shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting was March 23, 2020. PAGP shareholders as of the record date will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person but will be able to vote by either submitting their proxy card prior to the meeting or by voting at the virtual Annual Meeting in the manner described below.

 

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting by virtual means, we urge you to vote by submitting your proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in the Proxy Statement. New proxy cards are not being sent to shareholders and the proxy card included with the Proxy Statement previously sent to shareholders may continue to be used to vote each shareholder’s shares in connection with the Annual Meeting. If you have previously submitted a proxy using one of the methods described in the Proxy Statement and proxy card, your vote will be counted and you do not need to submit a new proxy or vote at the Annual Meeting, although you may change or revoke your vote by attending and voting at the virtual Annual Meeting or by one of the other methods described in the Proxy Statement.
