Dear Unitholder,
As you know, on June 12, 2006, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. announced its plans to merge with
Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. The merger is subject to approval by unitholders of both Plains and
Pacific. Plains unitholders are also being asked to approve the issuance of Plains units to
Pacific unitholders in the merger. For Plains, approval means the affirmative vote by holders of
at least a majority of Plains outstanding units.
By now, you should have received proxy materials for the special unitholder meeting to be held on
Thursday, November 9, 2006. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, if you have not
voted, we urge you to vote as soon as possible. Your vote is extremely important to us. If you do
not vote, it is equivalent to voting against the merger.
You can vote your units by telephone, through the internet or in person at the meeting.
Instructions on how to vote are included on the enclosed proxy card. Additional information about
the merger and the special meeting is included in the definitive joint proxy statement dated
September 29, 2006, which you should have already received. If you need additional copies, please
contact our proxy solicitor, Morrow & Co. (Toll-free 800-607-0088). They can also answer any
questions you might have and can assist you in voting your units.
Thank you for your continued support of Plains and for taking the time to vote.
Sincerely,
Greg L. Armstrong
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
