Item 1.01.                                          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 31, 2005, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the Plains All American 2001 Performance Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) pursuant to which any options granted after the effectiveness of such amendment would be required to be exercised in the year in which such options vested, if the exercise price at the time of grant or at any time subsequent is less than the fair market value of the underlying unit as of the date of grant.  The Board also approved adjustments to the terms of all unvested, outstanding options under the Option Plan to require the exercise of such options in the year in which such options vest.  Because the units underlying the Option Plan were contributed to the general partner by certain of its owners, the Partnership will have no obligation to reimburse the general partner for the cost of the units upon exercise of the options.

 

On March 31, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the grant of options under the Option Plan as amended to George R. Coiner (30,000 units) and W. David Duckett (15,000 units).  Grant letters for such options will be issued substantially in the form attached as an Exhibit to this report.

 

Also attached as Exhibits to this report are forms of grant letter to be used under our 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Grant letters substantially in these forms will be issued to evidence the LTIP awards previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 23, 2005.
