Explanation of Responses:
(1)  As of the date of this Form 4, the Reporting Person holds an indirect ownership interest in Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (the "Issuer") through his ownership in KAFU Holdings, L.P., KAFU Holdings (QP), L.P., and KAFU Holdings II, L.P. (collectively, "KAFU"). Further the Reporting Person is the Co-Chairman of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. ("KACALP"), an SEC registered investment adviser and the managing member of KAFU. The Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all of the interests held by KAFU.
(2)  The Eighth Amended and Restated limited partnership agreement of Plains AAP, L.P. ("AAP") provides that each limited partner has the right at any time (without expiration) to immediately exchange (the "Exchange Right") its Class A units in AAP, together with a like number of associated Class B shares in the Issuer and GP units in PAA GP Holdings LLC, for a like number Class A shares of the Issuer. On November 30, 2017, and KAFU Holdings (QP), L.P. exercised the Exchange Right with respect to 44,481 Class A Units.
(3)  The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by KAFU and KACALP, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
(4)  The reported transactions involve in-kind distributions to redeeming limited partners of KAFU Holdings (QP), L.P.
(5)  Cliffwood Energy Partners, L.P. is a family investment vehicle. Mr. Sinnott is the managing member of the general partner.
(6)  In a simultaneous transaction, KAFU exercised the redemption right provided for in the limited partnership agreement of AAP with respect to 1,864,218 Class A units. As a result, such Class A units were cancelled and 1,864,218 Common Units of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. were distributed by AAP to KAFU. The number of derivative securities owned reflects both the exchange transaction reported herein and the simultaneous redemption transaction.
(7)  Shares held by KACALP. The Reporting Person is Co-Chairman of KACALP and may be deemed to beneficially own the Class A Shares.
