KEYERA CORP.
$
● Subscription Receipts
each representing the right to receive one Common Share
This prospectus supplement qualifies the distribution (the "Offering") of ● subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") of Keyera Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Keyera") at a price of $● per Subscription Receipt (the "Offering Price"). Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration and without further action, one common share of Keyera (a "Common Share"), together with Dividend Equivalent Payments (as defined herein) during the period from the Offering Closing Date (as defined herein) to, but excluding, the Acquisition Closing Date (as defined herein) or to, and including, the date of a Termination Event (as defined herein), as applicable. See "The Acquisition", "Details of the Offering" and "Plan of Distribution".
On June 17, 2025, the Corporation entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with the Seller (as defined herein) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Plains Midstream Canada ULC ("PMC") pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Acquisition Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $5.15 billion, subject to adjustments (the "Purchase Price"). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Corporation will acquire substantially all of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.'s Canadian NGL (as defined herein) business and select U.S. assets (the "Acquired Business"). Prior to the Acquisition Closing Time (as defined herein), PMC will undergo a pre-closing reorganization and will spin out the Excluded Assets (as defined herein). References to the business and assets of PMC in this prospectus supplement mean the Acquired Business and the assets used in the Acquired Business, respectively, and references to PMC mean, unless the context otherwise requires, PMC and its affiliates that carry on the Acquired Business. See "The Acquisition".
The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts, less the Non-Escrowed Underwriters' Fee (as defined herein), collectively, the "Proceeds", will be held by Odyssey Trust Company, as subscription receipt agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), and deposited or invested, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined herein) in short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada, corporate commercial paper which is rated "A-1 (high)" by S&P Global Ratings or an equivalent rating from any other designated rating organization (as defined in National Instrument 44-101 – Short Form Prospectus Distributions), guaranteed investment certificates of a Canadian Schedule I bank, or in one or more interest-bearing trust accounts to be maintained by the Subscription Receipt Agent as specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined herein) until the earlier of (i) the delivery of the notice to be provided by Keyera to the Subscription Receipt Agent, certifying that the Escrow Release Condition (as defined herein) has been satisfied (the "Escrow Release Notice and Direction"), and (ii) the Termination Time (as defined herein), all pursuant to the terms and conditions of a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") to be entered into on the Offering Closing Date (as defined herein) among Keyera, the Subscription Receipt Agent and RBC Dominion Securities Inc. ("RBC"). Any interest or other income earned on the investment or reinvestment of the Proceeds (the "Earned Interest" and, together with the Proceeds and any interest or other income earned or credited on the Earned Interest from time to time, the "Escrowed Funds") from, and including, the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the earlier of the delivery of the Escrow Release Notice and Direction and the Termination Time, will be held by the Subscription Receipt Agent, as escrow agent on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, provided that Dividend Equivalent Payments may be made from the Escrowed Funds. See "Details of the Offering".
Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive automatically, without additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder thereof, one (1) Common Share of the Corporation upon closing of the Acquisition (as defined herein). The Acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 (the date of such closing, the "Acquisition Closing Date" and the time of such closing, the "Acquisition Closing Time"), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory clearances, including under the Competition Act (Canada) (the "Competition Act"), the Canada Transportation Act (the "CTA") and the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act"). See "The Acquisition – Acquisition Agreement".
Holders of Subscription Receipts (including Subscription Receipts that may be issued upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) will be entitled to receive payments per Subscription Receipt equal to the cash dividends per Common Share, if any, paid or payable to holders of Common Shares in respect of all record dates for such dividends occurring from the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the Acquisition Closing Date or to, and including, the Termination Date (as defined herein), as applicable, to be paid to Subscription Receipt holders of record on the record date for the corresponding dividend on the Common Shares on the date on which such dividend is paid to holders of Common Shares (each, a "Dividend Equivalent Payment"), paid first out of any interest and other income received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds and then out of the Escrowed Funds, net of any applicable withholding taxes. For greater certainty, the first Dividend Equivalent Payment that holders of Subscription Receipts are expected to be eligible to receive will be, if so declared by the board of directors of Keyera (the "Board of Directors"), in respect of the dividend payable to holders of Common Shares on or about September 29, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2025.
In the event that the Termination Time occurs after a dividend has been declared on the Common Shares but before the record date for such dividend, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive, as part of the Termination Payment (as defined herein), a pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of such dividend declared on the Common Shares equal to the amount of such dividend multiplied by a fraction equal to: (i) the number of days from, and including, the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the date of the Offering Closing Date) to, but excluding, the date of a Termination Event; divided by (ii) the number of days from, and including, the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the prior payment date for dividends on the Common Shares) to, but excluding, the date on which such dividend is paid to holders of Common Shares. If the Termination Time occurs on a record date or following a record date for a dividend on the Common Shares but on or prior to the payment date for such dividend, Subscription Receipt holders of record on the record date will be entitled to receive the full Dividend Equivalent Payment. See "Details of the Offering".
- ii -
After the Acquisition Closing Date, the former holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled, as holders of Common Shares, to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors from time to time, to receive notice of and to vote at all meetings of holders of Common Shares and to all other rights available to holders of Common Shares. See "Capital Structure of the Corporation – Common Shares" in the AIF (as defined herein).
Provided that the Escrow Release Notice and Direction is delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent on or prior to the Termination Time, the Escrowed Funds, less the Escrowed Underwriters' Fee and any amounts required to satisfy any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments, will be released by the Subscription Receipt Agent to or as directed by the Corporation and will be used to fund a portion of the Purchase Price. See "Use of Proceeds".
If (i) the Escrow Release Notice and Direction has not been delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on June 30, 2026 (the "Deadline"), (ii) the Acquisition Agreement is terminated on or before the Deadline, or (iii) Keyera advises (a) the Subscription Receipt Agent and RBC, on its own behalf and on behalf of CIBC World Markets Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc. and TD Securities Inc. (collectively, together with RBC, the "Lead Underwriters"), $\bullet$ , $\bullet$ , $\bullet$ , $\bullet$ , $\bullet$ , $\bullet$ , $\bullet$ , $\bullet$ , $\bullet$ and $\bullet$ (collectively, together with the Lead Underwriters, the "Underwriters"), or (b) announces to the public, that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition (each, a "Termination Event" and the time of the earliest of such Termination Events to occur, the "Termination Time" and the date on which such Termination Time occurs, the "Termination Date"), the Subscription Receipt Agent will return to holders of Subscription Receipts from the Escrowed Funds, no later than the third business day following the Termination Date, an amount per Subscription Receipt (the "Termination Payment") equal to the Offering Price in respect of such Subscription Receipt, plus (x) if a Dividend Equivalent Payment has been paid or is payable in respect of the Subscription Receipts at any time following the issuance of the Subscription Receipts, any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payment owing to such holder, or (y) if no Dividend Equivalent Payment has been paid or is payable in respect of the Subscription Receipts at any time following the issuance of the Subscription Receipts, such holder's proportionate share of any interest and other income received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds between the Offering Closing Date and the Termination Time, in each case net of any applicable withholding taxes. The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds is insufficient at the Termination Time to cover the aggregate of the Termination Payments payable to the holders of Subscription Receipts, under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, Keyera will be required to pay to the Subscription Receipt Agent, as agent on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts, the deficiency between the amount of Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts. See "Details of the Offering". Any remaining Escrowed Funds after the payment of the Termination Payments shall be paid by the Subscription Receipt Agent to the Corporation.
Price: $● per Subscription Receipt
| Price to the Public | Underwriters' Fee(1) | Net Proceeds to Keyera(2)(3)(4) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per Subscription Receipt | $● | $● | $● |
| Total (2) | $● | $● | $● |
Notes:
(1) Keyera has agreed to pay the Underwriters a fee equal to $3.5\%$ of the gross proceeds of the Offering (including any gross proceeds resulting from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined herein)) to the Underwriters (the "Underwriters' Fee"). Half $(50\%)$ of the Underwriters' Fee is payable on the Offering Closing Date (the "Non-Escrowed Underwriters' Fee"), with the other half $(50\%)$ of the Underwriters' Fee payable upon the release of the Escrowed Funds to Keyera as set forth herein (the "Escrowed Underwriters' Fee"). If a Termination Event occurs, the Underwriters' Fee will consist solely of the Non-Escrowed Underwriters' Fee. See "Plan of Distribution".
(2) Before deducting expenses of the Offering, estimated to be approximately $2 million.
(3) Keyera has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part at the Underwriters' sole discretion, at any time and from time to time until the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the date that is 30 days following the Offering Closing Date (including the date thereof), and (ii) the Termination Time, to purchase up to an additional $\bullet$ Subscription Receipts (the "Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts") on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in whole or in part, following the
Acquisition Closing, an equal number of Common Shares (the "Over-Allotment Shares") will be issued and sold in lieu of the Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts.
(4) If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total "Price to the Public", "Underwriters' Fee" and "Net Proceeds to Keyera" (before deducting expenses of the Offering) in respect of the Offering will be $●, $● and $●, respectively. This prospectus supplement also qualifies the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the issuance of the Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts and the issuance of the Over-Allotment Shares, as applicable, upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. A purchaser who acquires Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts or Over-Allotment Shares, as applicable, forming part of the Underwriters' over-allocation position acquires such Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts and Over-Allotment Shares under this prospectus supplement, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. Where applicable, references to "Offering" and "Offered Securities" in this prospectus supplement include the Subscription Receipts, Common Shares, Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts and the Over-Allotment Shares, as the context may dictate, issuable upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. See "Plan of Distribution".
The following table sets out the number of Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts that may be issuable pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option.
| Underwriters' Position | Maximum Number of Securities Available | Exercise Period | Exercise Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over-Allotment Option | ● Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts(1) | For a period not later than the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the day that is 30 days after the Offering Closing Date, and (ii) the Termination Time | $● per Over-Allotment Subscription Receipt |
Note:
(1) If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in whole or in part, following the Acquisition Closing, Over-Allotment Shares will be issued and sold in lieu of Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts.
The issued and outstanding common shares of Keyera (the "Common Shares") are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "KEY". On June 16, 2025, the day prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition and the Offering, and the last trading day prior to the filing of this prospectus supplement, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was $41.59 per Common Share.
The Corporation has applied to the TSX to list the Subscription Receipts offered under this prospectus supplement and the Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts. Listings will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all the listing requirements of the TSX. There can be no assurance that the Subscription Receipts will be accepted for listing on the TSX or that the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Subscription Receipts will be accepted for listing on the TSX.
There is currently no market through which the Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Subscription Receipts purchased under this prospectus supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Subscription Receipts in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Subscription Receipts and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors – Market Price".
Prospective purchasers should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. The Corporation and the Underwriters have not authorized anyone to provide prospective purchasers with information different from that contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. The Subscription Receipts are being offered only in jurisdictions where, and to persons to whom, offers and sales are lawfully permitted.
The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Subscription Receipts, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued, sold and delivered by Keyera to, and accepted by, the Underwriters in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement and subject to the approval of certain legal matters on behalf of Keyera by Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP.
The terms of the Offering were determined by negotiations between Keyera and the Underwriters. The Underwriters propose to offer the Subscription Receipts initially at the Offering Price. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Subscription Receipts at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the selling price to purchasers from time to time in order to sell any of the Subscription Receipts remaining unsold. Notwithstanding any reduction in the Offering Price, any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation. See "Plan of Distribution".
Subscriptions will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the Underwriters reserve the right to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is expected that closing of the Offering will occur
on or about June 20, 2025, or such later date as Keyera and the Lead Underwriters may agree (such date of closing of the Offering, the "Offering Closing Date"). The issuance of the Common Shares to the holders of the Subscription Receipts is conditional upon, among other things, the delivery of the Escrow Release Notice and Direction. The Escrow Release Notice and Direction will only be delivered if the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied and the Acquisition Closing occurs prior to the Termination Time. See "Details of the Offering" and "Risk Factors – Subscription Receipt Structure".
Subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may, in connection with the Offering, over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Subscription Receipts at levels other than those which may prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See "Plan of Distribution".
Each of RBC, CIBC World Markets Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc. and TD Securities Inc., ● and ● is a subsidiary or an affiliate of a lender (collectively, the "Lenders") which has extended or has committed to extend credit facilities to Keyera, including under the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility of Keyera (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and two bilateral operating credit facilities of the Corporation with aggregate available credit of $100 million (collectively, the "Bilateral Credit Facilities"). Furthermore, RBC also acted as financial advisor to Keyera in connection with the Acquisition. In addition, affiliates of RBC provided the Commitment Letter (as defined herein) and agreed to syndicate the Acquisition Credit Facilities (as defined herein) in connection with the Acquisition. Consequently, the Corporation may be considered to be a "connected issuer" of each of these Underwriters for the purposes of applicable securities legislation. See "Relationship Between the Corporation and the Underwriters".
In the opinion of counsel, the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable to the holders of the Subscription Receipts, if issued on the date thereof, generally would be qualified investments under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the "Tax Act") for certain tax-exempt trusts. See "Eligibility for Investment".
An investment in the Subscription Receipts involves certain risks that should be considered by a prospective purchaser. See "Risk Factors".
Information with respect to a purchaser's right to withdraw or rescind from an agreement to purchase securities is provided below. See "Statutory Rights of Withdrawal and Rescission".
The Corporation's registered and head office are each located at 200, 144 – 4th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 3N4.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus contain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). These statements relate to future events or Keyera's future performance. The forward-looking information herein is intended to provide readers with information regarding Keyera, including its assessment of future plans, operations and financial performance related to the Acquisition and the Offering, and the proposed Acquisition Debt Offerings (as defined herein), and may not be appropriate for other purposes. With respect to forward-looking information contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein, readers should refer to "Forward-Looking Information" in each of the AIF, the Circular and the Q1 2025 MD&A (each as defined herein) and to "Forward-Looking Information and Advisory Statement" in the
Annual MD&A (as defined herein), as well as the advisory sections of any other document incorporated by reference herein or attached hereto.
All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. The use of any of the words "anticipate", "plan", "contemplate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "propose", "might", "may", "will", "shall", "project", "target", "should", "could", "would", "believe", "predict", "forecast", "outlook", "objective", "pursue", "potential", "capable", "seek", and similar expressions expressing future outcomes or statements are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this prospectus supplement, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement. In particular, this prospectus supplement, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus contain forward-looking statements pertaining to, among other things, the Acquisition and the associated post-closing operational and financial performance, business objectives, expected growth (including magnitude of growth), results of operations, performance, business projects and opportunities, capital expenditures and financial results.
This prospectus supplement also contains forward-looking statements with respect to:
- the Offering and the Acquisition, including in respect of the use of proceeds from the Offering and the expected closing dates of each;
- the timing of the distribution of the Subscription Receipts pursuant to the Offering and the distribution of Common Shares upon the closing of the Acquisition;
- the anticipated timing and closing of the Acquisition in accordance with its terms;
- the timing and ability of Keyera to enter into certain ancillary agreements with Seller and its affiliates, including the Transition Services Agreement, as contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement;
- anticipated benefits of the Acquisition including implementing certain operational improvements and cost-savings initiatives following the completion of the Acquisition, establishing a platform for future investments, positioning the Corporation to pursue additional integration opportunities and capital-efficient expansions along its national NGL corridor, and Keyera's ability to leverage its expertise in risk management, marketing, and operational optimization to enhance margins and boost performance;
- the timing and ability of Keyera to enter into credit agreements for the Acquisition Credit Facilities on acceptable terms;
- Keyera's expectations regarding the Acquisition Debt Offerings, including the impact on Keyera's financial condition and credit ratings; and
- Keyera's expectation that it will achieve financial performance targets including but not limited to segment profits, adjusted EBITDA, payout ratio and credit ratings.
The forward-looking statements in the Prospectus, this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect Keyera's then current views with respect to future events based on certain facts and assumptions and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, changes in market, competition, governmental or regulatory conditions, interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk and general economic conditions and the other factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" herein and in each of the AIF, the Annual MD&A, the Q1 2025 MD&A and the Prospectus. The material assumptions in making these forward-looking statements are disclosed herein and in the AIF, the Annual MD&A and the Q1 2025 MD&A, as may be modified or superseded by documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, under the headings set forth above and comparable sections and, in relation to the Acquisition and the Offering, include the following material assumptions:
- the satisfaction of all conditions to closing the Offering, the Acquisition Credit Facilities and the Acquisition and, in each case, on the terms and timeframes contemplated;
S-2
- the fulfillment by the Underwriters of their obligations pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and by the Subscription Receipt Agent of their obligations pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement;
- the Purchase Price of the Acquisition, subject to post-closing adjustments;
- the successful completion of the Acquisition and Keyera's ability to obtain the anticipated benefits therefrom, including impacts on growth and accretion in various financial metrics;
- the accuracy of historical and forward-looking operational and financial information and estimates provided by PMC and the Seller;
- Keyera's ability to integrate the assets acquired pursuant to the Acquisition into Keyera's operations;
- the integrity and reliability of Keyera's and the PMC's pipeline and energy assets;
- the timing of planned and unplanned outages and the use and utilization of Keyera's and the PMC's pipeline and energy assets;
- the accuracy of financial and operational projections of Keyera following completion of the Acquisition;
- the availability and repayment of the Acquisition Credit Facilities;
- the replacement, refinancing or repayment of the Acquisition Credit Facilities through the issuance of debt and hybrid securities pursuant to the Acquisition Debt Offerings and the net proceeds therefrom;
- the anticipated effect of the Acquisition, the Offering, the Acquisition Credit Facilities (if drawn) and the Acquisition Debt Offerings on Keyera's financial condition and credit ratings;
- the anticipated effect of the Acquisition on the consolidated capitalization of Keyera following the completion of the Offering; and
- the anticipated borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities following the completion of the Acquisition, if they are not replaced by the Acquisition Debt Offerings.
Management believes that its assumptions and analysis are reasonable and that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein and in the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus are also reasonable. However, it cannot assure readers that these expectations will prove to be correct.
All forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, events, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include but are not limited to, the risk factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" herein and in each of the AIF, the Annual MD&A, the Q1 2025 MD&A and in the Prospectus, as well as:
- failure to complete the Acquisition in all material respects in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement or as otherwise expected;
- failure to obtain, in a timely manner or on the terms expected, regulatory, stock exchange and other required approvals or satisfy other conditions in connection with the Offering and the Acquisition;
- unforeseen difficulties faced by the Underwriters in fulfilling their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement;
- unforeseen difficulties faced by the Subscription Receipt Agent in fulfilling their obligations under the Subscription Receipt Agreement;
- failure to close the Acquisition Credit Facilities (if needed);
- failure to close the Acquisition Debt Offerings;
- failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition;
- failure to achieve anticipated operating and financial performance in Keyera's and the PMC's pipeline and energy assets;

Keyera cautions that the foregoing list of risks, uncertainties and factors is not exhaustive. The effect of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is uncertain because these factors are not independent and management's future course of action would depend on Keyera's assessment of all information at that time. Although Keyera believes that the expectations in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information available to Keyera on the date of preparation, Keyera can give no assurances as to future results, levels of activity and achievements.
Readers are therefore cautioned that they should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the Prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the Prospectus, as actual results achieved may vary from the forward-looking statements provided and the variations may be material.

Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus supplement, all financial information of the Acquired Business included in this prospectus supplement is reported in U.S. dollars and has been derived from audited and unaudited historical financial statements of Acquired Business that were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of U.S. GAAP differ from IFRS Accounting Standards.
Where financial information of Acquired Business has been converted from U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars for purposes of comparison to and combination with, financial information of Keyera, U.S. dollars have been converted to Canadian dollars at an exchange rate of: (i) $1.43785 Canadian dollars per $1.00 U.S. dollar for the balance sheet information as at March 31, 2025 contained in the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements (as defined herein); (ii) $1.43503 Canadian dollars per $1.00 U.S. dollar for the income statement as at March 31, 2025 contained in the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements; and (iii) $1.36867 Canadian dollars per $1.00 U.S. dollar for the income statement as at December 31, 2024 contained in the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements. The assets and liabilities of Acquired Business shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position of
S-5
Keyera as at March 31, 2025 are reported in Canadian dollars and reflect the U.S. dollar-to-Canadian dollar period-end closing exchange rate. The revenues and expenses of Acquired Business shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of net earnings and comprehensive income of Keyera for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025 are reported in Canadian dollars and reflect the average U.S. dollar-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate for such periods. Certain tables containing financial information in this prospectus supplement may not add due to rounding.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement contains the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Keyera, comprised of the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Keyera as at March 31, 2025 and the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of net earnings and comprehensive income of Keyera for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025, together with the notes thereto, giving effect to the Acquisition, the Offering and the borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities (the "Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements"). The Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using certain of Keyera's and the Acquired Business' respective historical financial statements as more particularly described in the notes to the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements. Keyera has not independently verified the financial statements of the Acquired Business that were used to prepare the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements or that are included in this prospectus supplement. The Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements are not intended to be indicative of the results that would actually have occurred, or the results expected in future periods, had the events reflected herein occurred on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon the finalization of the Purchase Price allocation pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement may differ from the amounts reflected in the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements. Since the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements have been developed to retroactively show the effect of a transaction that has or is expected to occur at a later date, there are limitations inherent in the very nature of pro forma financial information and data. The Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements contained in this prospectus supplement are included for informational purposes only and undue reliance should not be placed on the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements. See "Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors".
NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
This prospectus supplement, including the Investor Presentation appended hereto, contains references to certain non-IFRS Accounting Standards financial measures and ratios and industry measures that are used by the Corporation as supplemental indicators of the financial performance of the Corporation. Such measures and ratios are not recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards, and do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The Corporation believes presenting non-IFRS Accounting Standards financial measures helps readers to better understand how management analyzes results, shows the impacts of specified items on the results of the reported periods, and allows readers to assess results without the specified items if they consider such items not to be reflective of the underlying performance of the Corporation's operations.
Management considers these to be important supplemental measures of the Corporation's performance and believes these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar capital structures. Readers are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons the Corporation considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. Readers are cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operating activities, operating margin or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as an indication of the performance of the Corporation.
For a definition, description and, where appropriate, reconciliation of these non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures, please refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" in the Investor Presentation appended hereto.

KEYERA CORP.
Keyera is Canadian-based energy infrastructure company that operates a fully integrated value chain centered around transporting, processing and marketing natural gas liquids ("NGLs"). This value chain offers customers, which includes producers of oil, natural gas and NGLs, a full range of reliable services which allows them to optimize the value they receive for their products. Keyera is organized into three highly integrated reportable segments:
- Gathering and Processing – Keyera owns and operates raw gas gathering pipelines and processing plants, which collect and process raw natural gas, remove waste products and separate the economic components – primarily NGLs – before the sales gas is delivered into long-distance pipeline systems for transportation to end-use markets. Keyera also provides condensate handling services through its condensate gathering pipelines and stabilization facilities.
- Liquids Infrastructure – Keyera owns and operates a network of facilities for the gathering, processing, storage and transportation of the by-products of natural gas processing, including NGLs in mix form and specification NGLs such as ethane, propane, butane and condensate. In addition, this segment includes Keyera's iso-octane facilities at Alberta EnviroFuels, its liquids blending facilities, its interest in the South Cheecham rail and truck terminal and its interest in the crude oil storage facility at the Base Line Terminal.
- Marketing – Keyera markets a range of products associated with its two infrastructure business lines, primarily propane, butane, condensate and iso-octane, and also engages in liquids blending activities.
For a description of the business and operations of Keyera, see "Description of the Structure of Keyera", "General Development of the Business" and "Business of Keyera" in the AIF.
Recent Developments
On June 9, 2025, Keyera announced the formal sanctioning of KAPS Zone 4, a strategic extension of its integrated system. This expansion strengthens Keyera's connectivity to the growing liquids-rich Montney regions of northeast British Columbia and northwest Alberta, some of the most active and resource-rich areas in North America.

THE ACQUISITION
The Acquisition
On June 17, 2025, the Corporation entered into the Acquisition Agreement with the Seller to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of PMC pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Acquisition Agreement. The aggregate Purchase Price to be paid is $5.15 billion in cash, as adjusted in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement. Prior to the Acquisition Closing Date, the Excluded Assets will be spun out of PMC. See "The Acquisition – The Acquisition Agreement" and "The Acquisition – Business and Assets of PMC".
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Acquired Business as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Acquired Business as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Acquired Business as at March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 together with the notes thereto, and the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements are included as an appendix to this prospectus supplement. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" and "The Acquisition – Acquisition Rationale – Key Pro Forma Information."
The Acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. The customary closing conditions include, among other things, the receipt of all Required Regulatory Approvals (as defined herein), including under the Competition Act, the CTA and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. See "The Acquisition – The Acquisition Agreement – Closing Conditions."
Keyera expects to fund the Purchase Price for the Acquisition and related expenses with a combination of the following: (i) the net proceeds of the Offering; (ii) funding provided under the Acquisition Credit Facilities and/or the Acquisition Debt Offerings; and (iii) existing cash on hand and other sources available to Keyera, including capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. See "The Acquisition – Financing the Acquisition."
References to the business and assets of PMC in this prospectus supplement mean the Acquired Business and the assets used in the Acquired Business, respectively, and references to PMC mean, unless the context otherwise requires, PMC and its affiliates that carry on the Acquired Business.
Acquisition Rationale
The Acquisition directly supports Keyera's long-term strategy of expanding its integrated, fee-for-service NGL platform through disciplined growth. The PMC portfolio of assets strengthens Keyera's position across the entire value chain and enhances market access for customers across all major NGL products, including ethane, propane, butane, condensate, and iso-octane. The combined platform will also create a strong foundation for future optimization and expansion. The graphic below outlines the combined platform of Keyera and PMC's business.

Specifically, the Acquisition:
- enhances the scale of NGL infrastructure by combining Keyera's and PMC's gathering fractionation and storage operations;
- extends the integrated value chain to eastern North America, providing geographic diversification and expanded reach to customers;
- complements existing business segments and product flows, with additional capacity and flexibility to transport, store, and market ethane, propane, butane and condensate;
- unlocks commercial potential by applying Keyera's expertise in risk management, marketing, and operational optimization to improve margins and drive performance;
- delivers meaningful synergies with approximately $100 million of expected near-term annual corporate cost savings and operational enhancements in the first full year;
- maintains strong contract foundation with approximately 70% of pro forma realized margin supported by long-term commercial agreements supporting dividend sustainability and growth; and
- creates a platform for future investment, positioning the Corporation to pursue further integration opportunities and capital-efficient expansions along its cross Canada NGL corridor.
Key highlights of the Acquisition are as follows:
The Acquisition will Accelerate Growth
The combination of Keyera and PMC's midstream businesses is expected to materially enhance Keyera's growth outlook. Pro forma, fee-based adjusted EBITDA is projected to grow by approximately 50% in the first full year and includes near-term synergies. This growth will be further enhanced by the realization of identified synergies, and the completion of projects already underway.
S-10
Key Pro Forma Information
Pro forma leverage is expected to remain within the Corporation's long-term target range of 2.5 to 3.0 times net debt to adjusted EBITDA. Keyera anticipates being within this range following the closing of the transaction. Supported by its stable fee-for-service business model and strong free cash flow generation, Keyera remains well positioned to continue operating with one of the strongest balance sheets in the sector.
The Acquisition will Deliver Greater Value to Customers
The combination of Keyera and PMC's NGL midstream assets creates a more capable and efficient NGL platform, expanding market connectivity and service offerings across North America. With a larger footprint and stronger integration, Keyera can deliver more reliable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions to customers. The Corporation's expanded reach will support customers in accessing high-value markets.

Business and Assets of PMC
Business of PMC
Based in Calgary, Alberta, PMC is a NGL midstream business engaged in several infrastructure and marketing activities including fractionation, transportation and storage by way of a connected network of NGL assets across Canada and the United States. PMC focuses its services on production from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and subsequent transportation into eastern North America. PMC's business mix includes approximately 60% fee-for-service activities (including fractionation, storage, pipeline, processing (liquids extraction), rail loading and offloading and truck loading and offloading) and 40% non-fee-for-service activities (including fractionation spread and marketing of NGL products including ethane, propane, butane and condensate). PMC's business and operations have many of the same risks as Keyera's business, but pro forma for the Acquisition there will also be other risks applicable to Keyera's business. Prior to the Acquisition Closing Date, the Excluded Assets will be spun out. See "– Assets of PMC" and "– Excluded Assets" below. See also "Risk Factors – Risks Relating to PMC's Business".
Assets of PMC (excluding the Excluded Assets)
Fee-for-Service
Co-Ed Pipeline
The Co-Ed NGL pipeline system serves as the primary NGL transportation supply network for NGL mix and condensate in southwest and central Alberta to PMC's Fort Saskatchewan NGL fractionation facilities in Alberta. Co-Ed is comprised of a ~70 kbpd C3+ and ~40 kbpd C5+ system, with connections to over 30 gas plants in the Cardium, Deep Basin and Alberta Montney formations. The Co-Ed pipeline system has access to 144 kbbls of NGL storage in Edmonton and will have connectivity to pipeline feeder systems via Keyera's Fort Saskatchewan Pipeline system.
Fort Saskatchewan Complex
The Fort Saskatchewan facility is located near Edmonton, Alberta, within one of North America's key NGL hubs. This facility serves as a receipt, storage, fractionation and delivery centre for NGLs and provides connectivity to regional NGL plants, pipelines and rail loading terminals. Its primary assets include a fractionation plant, 12 storage caverns, and truck and rail loading capabilities. The Fort Saskatchewan fractionation facility has a 65 kbpd fractionation capacity (post-expansion) with an inlet design capacity of ~112 kbpd, and 8 MMbbls of net NGL storage. The remaining throughput capacity is used to produce a propane and butane mix which is transported via the Enbridge pipeline system to the Sarnia facility for further fractionation.
Empress Facility
The gas processing facilities near Empress, Alberta, consist of four straddle plants strategically positioned along major gas transportation pipelines. These facilities extract ethane and NGLs from the gas stream before returning the processed gas to the pipeline system.
The rights to extract NGLs from gas streams passing through the Empress facility are secured through agreements with producers and shippers, with natural gas purchased to replace the thermal content removed during extraction. The extracted NGL mix can be fractionated on-site or transported via the Enbridge pipeline system for further processing at PMC's Sarnia fractionation facility.
S-12
These plants have a combined processing capacity of up to 5.7 Bcf per day (gross), and a fractionation capacity of 26 kbpd. Production volumes include approximately 65 to 100 kbpd of ethane and 40 to 60 kbpd of NGL mix.
The fractionation facility at Empress is capable of processing and producing up to 26 kbpd of NGL products with storage of 4 MMbbls across PMC's prairie assets. It is connected to rail and truck loading infrastructure and a dedicated pipeline system, enabling the transportation of NGL to storage and loading terminals in Saskatchewan and Manitoba with connectivity to local customers and the US.
Great Lakes and Sarnia Area
The Great Lakes and Sarnia Area assets in southwestern Ontario, Michigan and Wisconsin include the Sarnia complex, the Windsor storage terminal, the St. Clair, Michigan terminal, Rapid River, Michigan terminal and Superior Wisconsin terminal facilities. The Sarnia facility serves as a large-scale NGL fractionation and storage centre and is also equipped with rail and truck loading capabilities. The Windsor storage terminal is an NGL storage and pipeline terminal facility which consists of nine storage caverns, five brine ponds, as well as product dehydration facilities, propane and butane tank loading cars, propane and butane tank car offloading, and propane truck loading equipment. The St. Clair facility includes storage, truck and rail loading terminals. The Rapid River and Superior facilities include depropanizer, storage, and truck terminal capabilities.
These facilities are supported by a network of pipelines that connect with various refineries, chemical plants and transportation systems. This pipeline network also facilitates the transfer of products between the Sarnia facility and the Windsor, St. Clair, Rapid River and Superior storage terminals. Through its strategic Great Lakes/Sarnia area footprint, PMC supplies ~40% of Michigan's annual propane demand and accounts for ~70% of Michigan's total propane imports.
The Sarnia Complex serves as a large-scale NGL fractionation and storage hub with rail and truck loading infrastructure and pipeline connectivity. The facility primarily receives NGL products from the Enbridge pipeline system, supplemented by deliveries from a rail unloading facility. The fractionation unit has a gross processing capacity of approximately 100 kbpd of NGL products with 6 MMbbls storage (net). Ownership in the various processing units within the Sarnia fractionator ranges from 61% to 85%.
Non-Fee-for-Service
PMC's non-fee-for-service or marketing activities involve: (i) the purchase and sale of specification NGLs across the asset platform and (ii) the acquisition of extraction rights from producers and shippers of gas streams that pass through the Empress facility. The rights to extract NGLs from gas streams passing through the Empress facility are secured through agreements with producers and shippers, with natural gas purchased to replace the thermal content removed during extraction. The extraction rights allow for the processing of natural gas at the Empress facility, where higher-value NGLs are extracted from the gas stream, including ethane, propane, butane and condensate.
PMC's infrastructure assets are then used for the transportation, storage and fractionation of NGL mix, either extracted from the Empress straddle plants or acquired from third parties, converting the NGL mix into finished products available for sales to customers. Additionally, finished NGL products may be acquired and seasonally stored in storage caverns before resale to customers. PMC often purchases derivative instruments to hedge margins associated with such marketing activities, ensuring effective risk management and financial stability within the segment.
Excluded Assets
The Excluded Assets include certain of PMC's crude oil assets and PMC's Bumstead, San Pedro, Shafter and Tampa facilities located in the U.S. and certain of its other assets.
The Acquisition Agreement
On June 17, 2025, Keyera entered into the Acquisition Agreement with Plains Midstream Luxembourg S.À.R.L ("Seller"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("Plains"), to acquire all of the
S-13
issued and outstanding shares of PMC (the "Purchased Shares") for a total purchase price of $5.15 billion payable in cash, subject to adjustments (the "Purchase Price"). The Acquisition Agreement contains covenants, representations and warranties of and from each of the parties and various conditions precedent consistent with market standards for acquisition agreements in the midstream oil and gas industry in western Canada. Completion of the Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions for transactions of this nature and magnitude, including, among other things, the receipt of all Required Regulatory Approvals, including under the Competition Act, the CTA and the HSR Act. Unless all such conditions are satisfied or waived by the party for whose benefit such condition exists, to the extent they may be capable of waiver, the Acquisition will not proceed as proposed, or at all. There can be no assurance that the conditions will be satisfied or waived on a timely basis, or at all. See "Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Acquisition".
Prior to the closing of the Acquisition (the "Acquisition Closing"), Seller and certain of its affiliates, including PMC, will consummate certain reorganization transactions where, as required pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, among other things, the Excluded Assets will be transferred to an affiliate of Plains and certain NGL assets located in the U.S. will be transferred to an affiliate of PMC (the "Pre-Closing Reorganization").

During the Interim Period, the Company Group is required to provide certain information to Keyera in respect of the Capital Projects and variances in the Capex Forecast. The Purchase Price may be adjusted following the Acquisition Closing based on, among other things, expenditures in respect of the Capital Projects and failure by Seller to achieve minimum throughput capacity and performance standards of certain Capital Projects.

be extended by Keyera or the Seller by up to three successive periods of 30 days each by providing written notice to the other party of such extension of the Outside Date.
Other Covenants
The Acquisition Agreement provides for a buyer-side representations and warranties policy (the "R&W Policy"). Keyera is required to (i) purchase a R&W Policy on or prior to Acquisition Closing that provides coverage for Keyera against breaches of certain of the representations and warranties made by Seller in the Acquisition Agreement; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such policy is fully bound and in full force and effect and to maintain such policy in effect for its stated duration.

- Representations and Warranties of Keyera. Certain stated representations and warranties of Keyera (which exclude certain fundamental representations and warranties) must be true and correct in all respects as of the Acquisition Closing Date, disregarding any materiality qualifications, except to the extent that inaccuracies in such representations and warranties do not in the aggregate result in a material adverse effect on Keyera's ability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement and the Transaction
S-16

Termination
The Acquisition Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to Acquisition Closing by mutual written consent of Keyera and Seller, or in certain circumstances where:
- any governmental entity has issued a final and non-appealable order, decree or judgment or law prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement; provided that the termination right will not be available to a party if the issuance of such order, decree, judgment or law was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform or comply with, in all material respects, any of their covenants or agreements under the Acquisition Agreement prior to the Acquisition Closing;
- the Acquisition Closing has not occurred on or prior to the Outside Date; provided that if the Required Regulatory Approvals have not been obtained on or prior to such date and the other conditions to the Acquisition Closing that are capable of being satisfied prior to the Acquisition Closing have been satisfied, then Keyera or Seller may, cumulatively, extend the Outside Date by up to three successive periods of thirty (30) days each, by giving written notice of such extension to the other party; and
S-17
- at Keyera's or Seller's option, there has been a breach or inaccuracy of the other party's representations and warranties in this Agreement or a failure by such party to perform its covenants, in any such case, in a manner that would result in the failure of a condition to the Acquisition Closing and which cannot be cured in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement.
In the event that the Acquisition Agreement is terminated by Keyera or by Seller (i) in connection with an order, decree, judgment or law prohibiting the consummation of the Acquisition, or (ii) upon failure to close the Acquisition on or prior to the Outside Date, owing to the Required Regulatory Approvals not having been obtained, and all other conditions to closing are satisfied or are reasonably capable of being satisfied, (and provided that Seller has satisfied certain obligations with respect to Required Regulatory Approval filings and mutual covenants with respect to Required Regulatory Approvals, in all material respects, and at the time of termination any waiting periods under any Required Regulatory Approvals have not expired or otherwise terminated) Keyera has agreed to pay to Seller a termination fee of $125,000,000.
Ancillary Agreements
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Keyera agreed to the forms or principal terms of the following agreements, among others, to be entered into at or prior to the Acquisition Closing Time: (i) a transition services agreement under which Seller will provide certain services to Keyera to assist Keyera in the operation of PMC post-Acquisition Closing and PMC will provide certain services to Seller to facilitate the consummation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization (the "Transition Services Agreement"); and (ii) a butane supply agreement between Keyera and an affiliate of Plains to address certain butane supply arrangements between the parties following the Acquisition.
Concurrently with entering into the Acquisition Agreement, Plains entered into a guarantee in favour of Keyera (the "Seller Parent Guarantee", and collectively with the Acquisition Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, a share transfer form in respect of the Purchased Shares, and each other agreement, document and instrument required to be executed in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement (other than in connection with the Pre-Closing Reorganization), the "Transaction Documents"). Pursuant to the Seller Parent Guarantee, Plains is guaranteeing the payment and certain performance obligations of Seller under the Acquisition Agreement.
Financing the Acquisition
Keyera expects the cash to fund the Purchase Price for the Acquisition and related expenses will be provided from a combination of the following: (i) the net proceeds of the Offering; (ii) funding provided under the Acquisition Credit Facilities and/or the Acquisition Debt Offerings; and (iii) existing cash on hand and other sources available to Keyera, including capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. See "Consolidated Capitalization". Also see "Risk Factors" for a discussion of certain risks relating to the financing of the Acquisition.
The Acquisition Credit Facilities
For the purposes of financing the Acquisition, Keyera has entered into a commitment letter dated June 17, 2025, (the "Commitment Letter") with Royal Bank of Canada and RBC Capital Markets (the "Initial Acquisition Facility Lenders"). Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Initial Acquisition Facility Lenders have agreed to underwrite senior unsecured bridge and term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $● billion (the "Acquisition Credit Facilities"). The Acquisition Credit Facilities consist of: (i) a non-revolving syndicated bridge loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.5 billion (the "Bridge Facility"); and (ii) a non-revolving syndicated term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $● billion (the "Term Facility"). The Acquisition Credit Facilities were obtained as interim sources of financing for the Acquisition and to facilitate the execution of the Acquisition Agreement. The Acquisition Credit Facilities may be replaced, refinanced or repaid through the issuance of senior unsecured medium-term notes and hybrid and junior debt securities of various tenors by Keyera (the "Acquisition Debt Offerings").
The Bridge Facility will mature 364 days following the Acquisition Closing Date and the Term Facility will mature three years following the Acquisition Closing Date.
S-18
The definitive credit agreement or agreements pursuant to which the Acquisition Credit Facilities will, if required, be extended (the "Acquisition Credit Agreement") are expected to contain certain prepayment options in favour of Keyera and certain mandatory prepayment obligations upon the occurrence of certain events. In particular, it is expected that Keyera will be required to effect reductions or make certain mandatory prepayments of the Acquisition Credit Facilities, which will permanently reduce the commitments of the lenders and/or require the mandatory repayment of indebtedness under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from: (i) any issuance of equity and/or subscription receipts (including the Subscription Receipts) or other equity-linked securities by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, other than pursuant to certain prescribed exceptions; (ii) any issuance of debt securities or incurrence of other indebtedness for borrowed money by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, other than certain prescribed exceptions (including amounts borrowed from time to time under existing credit facilities including the Revolving Credit Facility and the Acquisition Credit Facilities); and (iii) all asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries outside of the ordinary course of business (including through casualty or condemnation, and shares of subsidiaries), subject to certain prescribed exceptions.
The Acquisition Credit Agreement is expected to contain: (i) customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants of Keyera that will be substantially similar to those in the Revolving Credit Facility; and (ii) certain additional representations and warranties as are customary for acquisition financings of the nature contemplated by the Acquisition Credit Facilities. The drawdown of the Acquisition Credit Facilities is also expected to be subject to certain customary conditions for acquisition financings of the nature contemplated by the Acquisition Credit Facilities.
Customary fees for acquisition financings of the nature contemplated by the Commitment Letter and the Acquisition Credit Facilities may become payable by Keyera and amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Credit Facilities are expected to be subject to interest at rates based upon specified margins over the Canadian prime rate, the U.S. base rate or the U.S. term secured overnight financing rate, as applicable, which margins in each case are expected to: (i) vary based upon Keyera's then applicable credit ratings; and (ii) increase if amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Credit Facilities are not repaid in full within specified periods of time.
CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION
There have not been any material changes in the share and loan capital of Corporation since March 31, 2025, the date of the Corporation's most recently filed financial statements. The following table sets forth the consolidated capitalization of the Corporation as at March 31, 2025, and as at such date, on an adjusted basis, to give effect to the closing of the Offering, borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities and the completion of the Acquisition (assuming the Acquisition is funded solely with the net proceeds of the Offering and borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, the issuance of Common Shares to holders of the Subscription Receipts, no payment of any Dividend Equivalent Payment or interest earned on the Escrowed Funds and no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option). The following table should be read in conjunction with the Q1 2025 Financial Statements and the Q1 2025 MD&A, each of which is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, and the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements:

USE OF PROCEEDS
If the Escrow Release Notice and Direction is delivered prior to the Termination Time, the net proceeds from the Offering (excluding any Earned Interest and the payment of any Dividend Equivalent Payment) are estimated to be approximately $\$ \bullet$ (after deducting the Underwriters' Fee of $\$ \bullet$ and the estimated expenses of the Offering of approximately $\$ 2$ million). If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full and the Escrow Release Notice and Direction is delivered prior to the Termination Time, the net proceeds from the Offering (excluding any Earned Interest and the payment of any Dividend Equivalent Payment) are estimated to be approximately $\$ \bullet$ (after deducting the Underwriters' fee of $\$ \bullet$ and the estimated expenses of the Offering of approximately $\$ 2$ million).
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund a portion of the Purchase Price of the Acquisition. The Corporation expects to fund the remaining portion of the Purchase Price with borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities and/or the Acquisition Debt Offerings and cash on hand. See "The Acquisition – Financing the Acquisition" and "Consolidated Capitalization".
The Escrowed Funds, being the Proceeds and any Earned Interest, will, from the Offering Closing Date until the earlier of the delivery of the Escrow Release Notice and Direction and the Termination Time, be held in escrow by the Subscription Receipt Agent and deposited or invested, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement in short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada, corporate commercial paper which is rated "A-1 (high)" by S&P Global Ratings or an equivalent rating from any other designated rating organization, guaranteed investment certificates of a Canadian Schedule I bank, or in one or more interest-bearing trust accounts to be maintained by the Subscription Receipt Agent as specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, provided that each of such short-term obligations, corporate commercial paper, guaranteed investment certificates and interest-bearing trust accounts is a "qualified investment" within the meaning of section 204 of the Tax Act, and provided that Dividend Equivalent Payments may be made from the Escrowed Funds. See "Details of the Offering".
If the Escrow Release Notice and Direction is delivered prior to the Termination Time, the Escrowed Funds, less the Escrowed Underwriters' Fee and any amounts required to satisfy any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments, will be released by the Subscription Receipt Agent to or as directed by the Corporation and will be used to fund a portion of the Purchase Price.
If the Escrow Release Notice and Direction is not delivered on or prior to the Termination Time, the Subscription Receipt Agent will pay to each holder of Subscription Receipts, no earlier than the third business day following the Termination Date, the applicable Termination Payment. The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time is insufficient to cover the aggregate amount of the Termination Payments payable to the holders of Subscription Receipts, pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Corporation will be required to pay to the Subscription Receipt Agent, as agent on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts, the deficiency between the amount of Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts. See "Details of the Offering". Any remaining Escrowed Funds after the payment of the Termination Payments shall be paid by the Subscription Receipt Agent to the Corporation.

DETAILS OF THE OFFERING
The Offering consists of ● Subscription Receipts (or an aggregate of ● Subscription Receipts if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) at a price of $● per Subscription Receipt.
The following is a summary of the material attributes and characteristics of the Subscription Receipts. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the terms of the subscription receipt agreement to be dated as of the Offering Closing Date among the Corporation, the Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, and the Subscription Receipt Agent (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"), which, following the Offering Closing Date, will be filed under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+.
Automatic Issuance of Common Shares
Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive automatically, upon the closing of the Acquisition, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration, one (1) Common Share of the Corporation.
Provided that the Acquisition Closing Time occurs prior to the Termination Time, the Subscription Receipt Agent will issue and electronically deliver the appropriate number of Common Shares to each registered holder of Subscription Receipts without any further action on the part of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration and, thereafter, the former holders of Subscription Receipts will be entitled, as holders of Common Shares, to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors from time to time, to receive notice of and to vote at all meetings of holders of Common Shares and to all other rights available to holders of Common Shares. See "Capital Structure of the Corporation – Common Shares" in the AIF. The Corporation shall, no later than the Acquisition Closing Date, issue a press release confirming the Acquisition Closing Date has occurred and specifying that Common Shares have been or will be issued and delivered to holders of Subscription Receipts. Following the Acquisition Closing Date, any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payment will be paid by the Subscription Receipt Agent from the Escrowed Funds to Subscription Receipt holders of record on the record date for the corresponding dividend on the Common Shares on the date on which such dividend is paid to holders of Common Shares.
Dividend Equivalent Payments
Holders of Subscription Receipts (including Subscription Receipts that may be issued upon the exercise of the Over-
Allotment Option) will be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Payments in respect of, and paid concurrently with, any dividends on the Common Shares for which record dates occur during the period commencing on the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the Acquisition Closing Date or to, and including, the date of a Termination Event, as applicable. For greater certainty, the first Dividend Equivalent Payment that holders of Subscription Receipts are expected to be eligible to receive will be, if so declared by the Board of Directors, in respect of the dividend payable to holders of Common Shares on or about September 29, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2025.
In the event that the Termination Time occurs after a dividend has been declared on the Common Shares but before the record date for such dividend, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive, as part of the Termination Payment, a pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment in respect of such dividend declared on the Common Shares equal to the amount of such dividend multiplied by a fraction equal to: (i) the number of days from, and including, the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the date of the Offering Closing Date) to, but excluding, the Termination Date; divided by (ii) the number of days from, and including, the date of the prior Dividend Equivalent Payment (or, if none, the prior payment date for dividends on the Common Shares) to, but excluding, the date on which such dividend is paid to holders of Common Shares. If the Termination Time occurs on a record date or following a record date for a dividend on the Common Shares but on or prior to the payment date for such dividend, Subscription Receipt holders of record on the record date will be entitled to receive the full Dividend Equivalent Payment.
In the event that the Termination Time occurs before a dividend has been declared on the Common Shares, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive, as part of their Termination Payment, an amount equal to such holder's proportionate share of any interest and other income received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds between the Offering Closing Date and the Termination Date, net of any applicable withholding taxes.
Any Dividend Equivalent Payments will be made first out of any interest and other income received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds and any remaining balance shall be paid out of the Escrowed Funds, net of any applicable withholding taxes.
Escrowed Funds
The Proceeds will be delivered to and held in escrow by the Subscription Receipt Agent, on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts, and will be deposited or invested, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement in short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government of Canada, corporate commercial paper which is rated "A-1 (high)" by S&P Global Ratings or an equivalent rating from any other designated rating organization, guaranteed investment certificates of a Canadian Schedule I bank, or in one or more interest-bearing trust accounts to be maintained by the Subscription Receipt Agent, pending (i) receipt of the Escrow Release Notice and Direction, or (ii) the Termination Time, and provided that Dividend Equivalent Payments may be made from the Escrowed Funds.
Once the parties to the Acquisition Agreement are able to complete the Acquisition in all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, without amendment or waiver materially adverse to the Corporation but for the payment of the Purchase Price, and the Corporation has available to it all other funds required to complete the Acquisition (the "Escrow Release Condition"), the Corporation will provide the Escrow Release Notice and Direction to the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Subscription Receipt Agent will release the Escrowed Funds, less the Escrowed Underwriters' Fee and any amounts required to satisfy any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payments, to or at the direction of the Corporation. Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Escrow Release Condition may, if the foregoing conditions are met, at the election of the Corporation, occur up to seven (7) business days prior to the scheduled Acquisition Closing Date.
In the event that Escrowed Funds are released pursuant to an Escrow Release Notice and Direction and the closing of the Acquisition does not occur within seven (7) business days of such release, pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Corporation will cause such Escrowed Funds to be returned to the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Escrowed Funds will either continue to be held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement or returned to the holders of Subscription Receipts, as applicable. See "Risk Factors – Funds in Escrow".
S-23
Termination Payment
If a Termination Event occurs, the Subscription Receipt Agent will pay to each holder of Subscription Receipts, net of any applicable withholding taxes, no earlier than on the third business day following the Termination Date, the applicable Termination Payment.
The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time is insufficient to cover the aggregate amount of the Termination Payments payable to the holders of Subscription Receipts, pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Corporation will be required to pay to the Subscription Receipt Agent, as agent on behalf of the holders of Subscription Receipts, the deficiency between the amount of Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts. Any remaining Escrowed Funds after the payment of the Termination Payments shall be paid by the Subscription Receipt Agent to the Corporation.
Rescission
Under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, original purchasers of Subscription Receipts under the Offering will have a contractual right of action against Keyera for rescission prior to and following the issuance of the Common Shares to such purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, to receive the amount paid for the Subscription Receipts upon surrender of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares, as applicable, if this prospectus supplement or the Prospectus (including documents incorporated herein and therein by reference) or any amendment contains a misrepresentation (as defined in the Securities Act (Alberta)), provided such remedy for rescission is exercised within 180 days of the Offering Closing Date. See "Statutory and Contractual Rights of Withdrawal and Rescission".
Amendments
From time to time while the Subscription Receipts are outstanding, the Corporation, the Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, and the Subscription Receipt Agent, without the consent of the holders of the Subscription Receipts, may, subject to the provisions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement and the approval of the TSX, amend or supplement the Subscription Receipt Agreement for certain purposes, including making any change that, in the opinion of the Subscription Receipt Agent, relying on the opinion of counsel, is not prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Subscription Receipts. The Subscription Receipt Agreement provides for other modifications and alterations thereto and to the Subscription Receipts issued thereunder by way of an extraordinary resolution. The term "extraordinary resolution" is defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement to mean, in effect, a resolution passed by the affirmative votes of the holders of not less than $66\frac{1}{3}\%$ of the number of outstanding Subscription Receipts represented at a meeting of holders of Subscription Receipt or an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the holders of not less than $66\frac{1}{3}\%$ of the number of outstanding Subscription Receipts.
Book-Based System
The Subscription Receipts will be registered and electronically deposited through the non-certificated inventory system of CDS and must be purchased or transferred through participants ("CDS Participants") in the depository service of CDS.
Except as described below, no purchaser of a Subscription Receipt will be entitled to a certificate or other instrument from Keyera or CDS evidencing such purchaser's ownership of such Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms thereof, and no purchaser will be shown on the records maintained by CDS, except through a book-entry account of a CDS Participant acting on behalf of such purchaser. Keyera expects that each purchaser will receive a customer confirmation or statement from the Underwriter or other registered dealer which is a CDS Participant from or through which a Subscription Receipt is purchased in accordance with the practices and procedures of such Underwriter or other registered dealer. Practices of registered dealers may vary, but customer confirmations are generally issued promptly after the execution of a customer order. In addition, registration of interests in and transfers of the Subscription Receipts will be made only through the depository service of CDS.
S-24
Definitive certificates evidencing Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms thereof will be issued to beneficial holders or their nominees, other than CDS or its nominee, if: (i) CDS resigns, is removed from its responsibility as depository, or ceases to be a clearing agency or otherwise ceases to be eligible to be a depository and the Corporation is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the book-based securities transfer system administered by CDS in accordance with its operating rules and procedures in force from time to time is terminated; or (iii) the Corporation so instructs the Subscription Receipt Agent in writing.
Neither the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent nor the Underwriters will assume any liability for: (i) any aspect of the records relating to the beneficial ownership of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts held by CDS or the payments relating thereto; (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts; or (iii) any advice or representation made by or with respect to CDS and those contained in this prospectus supplement and relating to the rules governing CDS or any action to be taken by CDS or at the direction of a CDS Participant. The rules and regulations governing CDS provide that it acts as the agent and depository for the CDS Participants. As a result, CDS Participants must look solely to CDS and persons, other than CDS Participants, having an interest in the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts must look solely to CDS Participants for payments made by or on behalf of the Corporation to CDS in respect of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated effective June 1, 2025 (the "Underwriting Agreement") among Keyera and the Underwriters, Keyera has agreed to issue and sell, and the Underwriters have agreed, severally (and not jointly and severally) to purchase from Keyera, as principals, on the Offering Closing Date $\bullet$ Subscription Receipts at the Offering Price payable in cash to Keyera against delivery of the Subscription Receipts, subject to compliance with all the necessary legal requirements and to the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Keyera granted the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option to purchase up to $\bullet$ Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts, representing up to $\bullet\%$ of the Offering, at a price of $\$ \bullet$ per Over-Allotment Subscription Receipt, on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, exercisable in whole or in part at the Underwriters' sole discretion, at any time, and from time to time, until the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the date that is 30 days following the Offering Closing Date, and (ii) the Termination Time, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in whole or in part, following the Acquisition Closing, an equal number of Common Shares will be issued and sold in lieu of the Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total "Price to the Public", "Underwriters' Fee" and "Net Proceeds to Keyera" (before deducting expenses of the Offering) in respect of the Offering will be $\$ \bullet$ , $\$ \bullet$ and $\$ \bullet$ , respectively. This prospectus supplement also qualifies the issuance of the Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts and the Over-Allotment Shares.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that, in consideration of the services of the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, Keyera will pay the Underwriters a fee equal to $3.5\%$ of the gross proceeds of the Offering (including any gross proceeds resulting from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) to the Underwriters. Half $(50\%)$ of the Underwriters' Fee is payable on the Offering Closing Date, with the other half $(50\%)$ of the Underwriters' Fee payable upon the release of the Escrowed Funds to Keyera in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If a Termination Event occurs, the Underwriters' Fee will consist solely of the Non-Escrowed Underwriters' Fee.
The Corporation has applied to the TSX to list the Subscription Receipts offered under this prospectus supplement and the Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts (including the Subscription Receipts issuable pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of such Subscription Receipts). Listings will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all the listing requirements of the TSX. There can be no assurance that the Subscription Receipts will be accepted for listing on the TSX or that the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Subscription Receipts will be accepted for listing on the TSX.
S-25
Subscriptions will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the Underwriters reserve the right to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is expected that closing of the Offering will occur on or about June 20, 2025, or such later date as the Corporation and the Lead Underwriters may agree.
The Offering is being made in each of the provinces of Canada and in the U.S. to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act ("Rule 144A")) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. The Subscription Receipts will be offered in each of the provinces of Canada and in the U.S. through those Underwriters or their affiliates who are registered to offer the Subscription Receipts for sale in such jurisdictions and such other registered dealers as may be designated by the Underwriters. Subject to applicable law and pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters may offer the Subscription Receipts outside of Canada and the U.S.
The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several (and not joint or joint and several), are subject to certain closing conditions and may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain stated events. If one or more Underwriters fails to purchase the Subscription Receipts which it has agreed to purchase, the other Underwriters may, but are not obligated to, purchase such Subscription Receipts, provided that, if the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts not purchased is less than 10% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters (by dollar value of the aggregate purchase price of the Subscription Receipts), then each of the other Underwriters is obligated to purchase severally the Subscription Receipts not taken up, on a pro rata basis or as they may otherwise agree as between themselves. If the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts not purchased is equal to or greater than 10% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters (by dollar value of the aggregate purchase price of the Subscription Receipts), then each of the other Underwriters shall be relieved of its obligations to purchase its respective percentage of the Subscription Receipts, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to take up and pay for all of the Subscription Receipts if any are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by Keyera against certain liabilities, including liabilities for misrepresentation in the Prospectus.
In connection with completion of the Offering, the Corporation has agreed that, without the prior written consent of the Lead Underwriters, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, the Corporation will not, during the period ending 90 days after the Offering Closing Date (a) create, allot, authorize, issue, secure, pledge, sell, offer, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, warrant or right to purchase, or otherwise lend, transfer or dispose of (or announce any intention to do so), any Subscription Receipts or Common Shares, rights to purchase Subscription Receipts or Common Shares or any securities convertible or exercisable or exchangeable for Subscription Receipts or Common Shares, or (b) enter into any swap or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any part of the economic consequences of ownership of Subscription Receipts or Common Shares, whether such transaction described in (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of such Subscription Receipts or Common Shares or such other securities or interests, in cash or otherwise, other than (i) pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option, (ii) the issuance of the Common Shares to holders of Subscription Receipts pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, (iii) pursuant to director, officer or employee or consultant incentive plans, (iv) pursuant to the Corporation's long term incentive plan, (v) the exchange, transfer, conversion or exercise of rights of existing securities or existing commitments to issue securities, or (vi) the Corporation's dividend reinvestment plan and optional share purchase plan or similar plan, if applicable.
The Underwriters propose to offer the Subscription Receipts initially at the Offering Price. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Subscription Receipts at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the selling price to purchasers from time to time in order to sell any of the Subscription Receipts remaining unsold. Notwithstanding any reduction in the Offering Price, any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation. The compensation realized by the Underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Subscription Receipts is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Corporation.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Passive Market Making
In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares at levels other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market, including stabilizing transactions, short sales, purchases to cover positions created by short sales, imposition of penalty bids and syndicate covering transactions.
Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares while the Offering is in progress. These transactions may also include making short sales of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares, which involve the sale by the Underwriters of a greater number of Subscription Receipts than they are required to purchase in the Offering or Over-Allotment Shares, if applicable.
The Underwriters may close out any covered short position by purchasing Subscription Receipts or Common Shares in the open market. In making this determination, the Underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of Subscription Receipts and Common Shares available for purchase in the open market.
The Underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing Subscription Receipts or Common Shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the Offering.
In addition, in accordance with rules and policy statements of certain Canadian securities regulators, the Underwriters may not, at any time during the period of distribution, bid for or purchase Subscription Receipts or Common Shares. The foregoing restriction is, however, subject to exceptions where the bid or purchase is not made for the purpose of

creating actual or apparent active trading in, or raising the price of, the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under the by-laws and rules of applicable regulatory authorities and the applicable stock exchange, including the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian Marketplaces, relating to market stabilization and passive market making activities and a bid or purchase made for and on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during the period of distribution.
As a result of these activities, the price of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the Underwriters at any time. The Underwriters may carry out these transactions on any stock exchange on which the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares are listed, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.
Book-Based System
The Offering will be conducted under the book-based system. A subscriber who purchases Subscription Receipts will receive a customer confirmation from the registered dealer from or through whom Subscription Receipts are purchased and who is a CDS depository service participant. CDS will record the CDS participants who hold Subscription Receipts on behalf of owners who have purchased Subscription Receipts in accordance with the book-based system. No certificates evidencing the Subscription Receipts will be issued, except in certain limited circumstances, and registration will be made in the name of the nominee of CDS.
Except in certain limited circumstances: (i) the Subscription Receipts will be issued and deposited in electronic form with CDS or its nominee pursuant to the book-based system administered by CDS; (ii) certificates evidencing the Subscription Receipts will not be issued to purchasers; and (iii) purchasers will receive only a customer confirmation from the Underwriters or other registered dealer who is a CDS participant and from or through whom a beneficial interest in the Subscription Receipts are purchased. See "Details of the Offering – Book-Based System".
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE UNDERWRITERS
Each of RBC, CIBC World Markets Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., TD Securities Inc., ● and ● is a subsidiary or an affiliate of a Lender which has extended or has committed to extend credit facilities to Keyera, including under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Bilateral Credit Facilities. Furthermore, RBC also acted as financial advisor to Keyera in connection with the Acquisition. In addition, affiliates of RBC provided the Commitment Letter and agreed to syndicate the Acquisition Credit Facilities in connection with the Acquisition. Consequently, the Corporation may be considered to be a "connected issuer" of each of these Underwriters for the purposes of applicable securities legislation.
The Revolving Credit Facility and Bilateral Credit Facilities were undrawn as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Issued letters of credit outstanding totaled $2,862,992 and $5,470,762 as at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Keyera is in material compliance with all material terms of the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility and the Bilateral Credit Facilities, respectively, and none of the Lenders has waived any material breach by Keyera of those agreements since the Revolving Credit Facility and the Bilateral Credit Facilities were established. The financial position of Keyera has not changed substantially and adversely since the indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Bilateral Credit Facilities was incurred. None of the Lenders have been or will be involved in the decision to offer the Subscription Receipts and none have been or will be involved in the determination of the terms of any distribution of Subscription Receipts.
CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
In the opinion of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, counsel to the Corporation, and Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, the following is, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires as beneficial owner Subscription Receipts pursuant to the Offering or the Over-Allotment Option and Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts and who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times: (i) deals at arm's length with the Corporation and the Underwriters and is not affiliated with the Corporation or the Underwriters, and (ii) acquires and holds or will acquire and hold the Subscription Receipts and any Common Shares issued pursuant to
S-32
the terms of the Subscription Receipts as capital property (a "Holder"). Generally, the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares in the course of carrying on a business and does not acquire them in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade.
This summary is based upon the facts set out in this prospectus supplement and the Prospectus, the provisions of the Tax Act in force as at the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Tax Proposals") and counsel's understanding of the current administrative practices and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") published in writing and publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary assumes the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed; however, no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. This summary does not, other than the Tax Proposals, take into account or anticipate any changes in applicable law or the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax laws or considerations, which might differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax consequences discussed herein.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any Holder or prospective Holder are made. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible income tax considerations under the Tax Act that may affect a Holder. The income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Subscription Receipts and Common Shares will vary according to the Holder's particular circumstances. Accordingly, prospective Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and the tax consequences to them of acquiring, holding and disposing of Subscription Receipts and Common Shares.
This summary is based upon counsel's understanding that a Subscription Receipt evidences a contractual right to acquire a Common Share on the satisfaction of certain conditions. No advance tax ruling in respect of the Offering has been sought from the CRA and counsel is not aware of any judicial authority relating to this characterization.
Holders Resident in Canada
This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a "Resident Holder"). Certain Resident Holders who may not otherwise be considered to hold their Common Shares as capital property may be entitled to make or may have already made the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have their Common Shares that are acquired pursuant to a Subscription Receipt (and every other "Canadian security", as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years deemed to be capital property. Such election does not apply to Subscription Receipts. Resident Holders whose Subscription Receipts or Common Shares might not be considered to be capital property should consult their tax advisors.
This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (i) that is a "financial institution" for purposes of the "mark-to-market" rules contained in the Tax Act, (ii) that is a "specified financial institution", (iii) an interest in which is or would constitute a "tax shelter" or a "tax shelter investment", (iv) that has elected to determine its "Canadian tax results" in a currency other than Canadian currency, (v) that has entered or will enter into, in respect of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares, a "derivative forward agreement" or a "synthetic disposition arrangement", or (vi) that receives dividends on the Common Shares under or as part of a "dividend rental arrangement", as those terms are each defined in the Tax Act.
This summary does not address the possible application of the "foreign affiliate dumping" rules that may be applicable to a Resident Holder of Subscription Receipts or Common Shares that is a corporation resident in Canada (for the purposes of the Tax Act) that is, or that becomes as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares, controlled by a non-resident corporation
S-33
for the purposes of the rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Any such Resident Holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to an investment in the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares.
Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts
Acquisition of Common Shares Pursuant to Terms of the Subscription Receipts
A Resident Holder of Subscription Receipts will not be considered to dispose of the Subscription Receipts and will not realize any capital gain or capital loss on the acquisition of Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts.
The cost of a Common Share issued to a Resident Holder pursuant to a Subscription Receipt will generally include (i) the amount paid to acquire the Subscription Receipt and (ii) the Resident Holder's pro rata share of any interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds that is included in the Resident Holder's income but remitted to the Corporation upon the acquisition of the Common Share pursuant to the Subscription Receipt less (iii) the aggregate of all Dividend Equivalent Payments received by or, in the event that the Dividend Equivalent Payment is received after the issuance of the Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt, receivable by, the Resident Holder out of the Escrowed Funds that are a partial refund of the Offering Price of the Subscription Receipt as described below under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Dividend Equivalent Payment". The adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of Common Shares so acquired will be determined by averaging the cost of such Common Shares with the adjusted cost base of all other Common Shares owned at that time by the Resident Holder as capital property.
A Resident Holder must include in its income any interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds including any interest that is remitted to the Corporation upon the acquisition of the Common Share pursuant to the Subscription Receipt as described under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Pro Rata Share of Interest".
Other Dispositions of Subscription Receipts
A disposition or deemed disposition by a Resident Holder of a Subscription Receipt (which does not include an acquisition of a Common Share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts, as discussed above, and other than as a consequence of a Termination Event, which is discussed below under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Acquisition Failing to Close"), will generally result in the Resident Holder realizing a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Subscription Receipt exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the Resident Holder's adjusted cost base of the Subscription Receipt and any reasonable costs of disposition. Any such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the tax treatment described below under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Common Shares – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".
The cost to a Resident Holder of a Subscription Receipt at any particular time will generally be equal to (i) the amount paid to acquire the Subscription Receipt, less (ii) the aggregate of all Dividend Equivalent Payments received by or, in the event that the Dividend Equivalent Payment is received after the issuance of the Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt, receivable by, the Resident Holder out of the Escrowed Funds that are a partial refund of the Offering Price of the Subscription Receipt and that reduce the cost to the Resident Holder of the Subscription Receipt as described below under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Dividend Equivalent Payment". The adjusted cost base of a Subscription Receipt acquired at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such Subscription Receipt immediately before such time with the adjusted cost base of any other Subscription Receipts owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at such time.
Acquisition Failing to Close
In the event of a Termination Event, a holder of a Subscription Receipt will be entitled to receive from the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Termination Payment equal to the Offering Price plus (i) if a Dividend Equivalent Payment has
S-34
been paid or is payable in respect of the Subscription Receipts at any time following the issuance of the Subscription Receipts, any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payment owing to such holder, or (ii) if no Dividend Equivalent Payment has been paid or is payable in respect of the Subscription Receipts at any time following the issuance of the Subscription Receipts, such holder's proportionate share of any interest and other income received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds. The portion of the Termination Payment that is paid out of interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds, including the applicable portion of any unpaid pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment, will be subject to the tax treatment described below under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Pro Rata Share of Interest".
The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds is insufficient to cover the full amount of the aggregate of the Termination Payments, the Corporation will be required to pay to the Subscription Receipt Agent an amount equal to the deficiency between the amount of the Escrowed Funds and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts (the "Termination Top-up").
The payment of the Termination Payment will generally result in a disposition of a Subscription Receipt and the Resident Holder of such Subscription Receipt realizing a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Subscription Receipt exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the Resident Holder's adjusted cost base of the Subscription Receipt and any reasonable costs of disposition. The portion of the Termination Payment that is paid from the Escrowed Funds (other than any part that represents interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds) will be included in calculating the Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition of the Subscription Receipt. Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax treatment to the Resident Holder of the Termination Top-up, including whether and to what extent any part of the Termination Top-up should be included in the income of the Resident Holder as interest or otherwise as ordinary income, or should be included in computing the Resident Holder's proceeds of disposition of the Subscription Receipt. No portion of the Termination Top-up should be treated as a dividend for the purposes of the Tax Act and, therefore, no part of the amount should benefit from the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable in respect of taxable dividends received by individuals from "taxable Canadian corporations" (as defined in the Tax Act) or be deductible in computing a corporation's taxable income in the manner normally available in respect of taxable dividends received by corporations from "taxable Canadian corporations" (as defined in the Tax Act).
The cost to a Resident Holder of a Subscription Receipt at any particular time will generally be equal to (i) the amount paid to acquire the Subscription Receipt, less (ii) the aggregate of all Dividend Equivalent Payments received by the Resident Holder out of the Escrowed Funds that are a partial refund of the Offering Price of the Subscription Receipt and that reduce the cost to the Resident Holder of the Subscription Receipt as described below under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Dividend Equivalent Payment". The adjusted cost base of a Subscription Receipt acquired at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such Subscription Receipt immediately before such time with the adjusted cost base of any other Subscription Receipts owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at such time. Any such capital gain (or capital loss) resulting from the disposition of the Subscription Receipt will be subject to the tax treatment described below under "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Common Shares – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses".
Pro Rata Share of Interest
A Resident Holder of Subscription Receipts that is a corporation, partnership, unit trust or any trust of which a corporation or a partnership is a beneficiary will generally be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any amount of interest (i) that accrues or that is deemed to accrue to it to the end of the particular taxation year, or (ii) that has become receivable by or is received by it before the end of that taxation year, except to the extent that such interest was included in computing the Resident Holder's income for a preceding taxation year. This will include the Resident Holder's pro rata share of any interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds, whether or not such interest is received or receivable by the Holder, including interest that is remitted to the Corporation upon the acquisition of a Common Share pursuant to the Subscription Receipt.
S-35
Any other Resident Holder must include in computing its income for a taxation year the amount of interest received or receivable by the Resident Holder or by the Subscription Receipt Agent on behalf of the Resident Holder in that taxation year, depending on the method regularly followed by the Resident Holder in computing income.
A Resident Holder that is a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) throughout the relevant taxation year or is, or is deemed to be, a "substantive CCPC" (as defined in the Tax Act) at any time in a taxation year may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income", which generally includes interest income. Any such Resident Holder should consult its own tax advisor in this regard.
Dividend Equivalent Payment
As described above under "Details of the Offering", a Resident Holder of a Subscription Receipt will be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Payments out of the Escrowed Funds concurrently with any dividends on the Common Shares for which record dates occur during the period commencing on the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the Acquisition Closing Date or to, and including, the date of a Termination Event, as applicable. Any Dividend Equivalent Payments will be made first out of any interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds and thereafter out of the Escrowed Funds as a refund of the portion of the Offering Price of the Subscription Receipt.
The amount of any interest will generally be included in computing a Resident Holder's income as described above under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Pro Rata Share of Interest". Any portion of the Dividend Equivalent Payment that is paid by the Subscription Receipt Agent out of the Escrowed Funds as a partial refund of the Offering Price for the Subscription Receipt generally will not be included in the Resident Holder's income and should reduce the cost of the Subscription Receipt to the Resident Holder.
For greater certainty, the Dividend Equivalent Payment will not be treated as a dividend for the purposes of the Tax Act and, therefore, no part of the amount will benefit from the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable in respect of taxable dividends received by individuals from taxable Canadian corporations (as defined in the Tax Act) nor be deductible in computing a corporation's taxable income in the manner normally available in respect of taxable dividends received by corporations from "taxable Canadian corporations" (as defined in the Tax Act).
Holding and Disposing of Common Shares
Dividends on Common Shares
Dividends received or deemed to be received on Common Shares by a Resident Holder will be included in computing the Resident Holder's income for the purposes of the Tax Act.
Dividends received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules in the Tax Act normally applicable to taxable dividends received from a "taxable Canadian corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act), including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit applicable to any dividend designated by the Corporation as an eligible dividend in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. Taxable dividends received by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) may give rise to alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act, depending on the individual's circumstances. Resident Holders who are individuals should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
Dividends received or deemed to be received on Common Shares by a Resident Holder that is a corporation will normally be deductible in computing such corporation's taxable income. In certain circumstances, a taxable dividend received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation will be treated as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain, rather than as a dividend. Resident Holders that are corporations are urged to consult their own tax advisors. A Resident Holder that is a "private corporation" or a "subject corporation", each as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable to pay a refundable tax of 38 1/3% on dividends received or deemed to be received on the Common Shares to the extent the dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Holder's taxable income for the taxation year.
S-36
Disposition of Common Shares
In general, a disposition or a deemed disposition of a Common Share (other than in a tax-deferred transaction or a disposition to the Corporation that is not a sale in the open market in the manner in which shares would normally be purchased by a member of the public in an open market) will give rise to a capital gain (or a capital loss) to the Resident Holder equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Common Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the Common Share immediately before the disposition. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the tax treatment described below.
Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses
Generally one-half of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year will be included in computing the Resident Holder's income in such year and one-half of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year (an "allowable capital loss") must be deducted against taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year. Allowable capital losses for a taxation year in excess of taxable capital gains for that year may generally be carried back and deducted against net taxable capital gains in any of the three preceding years or carried forward and deducted against net taxable capital gains in any subsequent year, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.
The amount of any capital loss realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Common Share by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to be received by the Resident Holder on the Common Share to the extent and in the circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares, directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships or trusts. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.
Capital gains realized by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) may result in such Resident Holder being liable for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.
A Resident Holder that is a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) throughout the relevant taxation year or is, or is deemed to be, a "substantive CCPC" (as defined in the Tax Act) at any time in a taxation year may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income", which is defined in the Tax Act to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains. Any such Resident Holder should consult its own tax advisor in this regard.
Holders Not Resident in Canada
This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the Subscription Receipts or Common Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a "Non-Resident Holder"). This part of the summary is not applicable to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an "authorized foreign bank" (as defined in the Tax Act).
Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts
Acquisition of Common Shares Pursuant to Terms of the Subscription Receipts
A Non-Resident Holder of Subscription Receipts will not be considered to dispose of Subscription Receipts and will not realize any capital gain or capital loss upon the acquisition of Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts.
S-37
Other Dispositions of Subscription Receipts
On a disposition or deemed disposition of a Subscription Receipt (which does not include an acquisition of a Common Share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts and other than as a consequence of a Termination Event, which is discussed below under the heading "Holders Not Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Acquisition Failing to Close"), a Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized and may not recognize any capital loss incurred by such Non-Resident Holder, unless the Subscription Receipt constitutes "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and in respect of any capital gain and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention.
Provided the Common Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange (which currently includes the TSX) at the time of disposition of a Subscription Receipt, the Subscription Receipts will generally not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder at that time, unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding that time: (i) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock were owned by any combination of (a) the Non-Resident Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length, and (c) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Common Shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of (a) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (b) Canadian resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act), (c) timber resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act), and (d) options or interests, or for civil law purposes, rights, in respect of any such property, whether or not such property exists. A Non-Resident Holder whose Subscription Receipts may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult its own tax advisor in this regard.
Acquisition Failing to Close
As described under the heading "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Acquisition Failing to Close", in the event of a Termination Event, a holder of a Subscription Receipt will be entitled to receive from the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Termination Payment, being an amount equal to the Offering Price, plus (i) if a Dividend Equivalent Payment has been paid or is payable in respect of the Subscription Receipts at any time following the issuance of the Subscription Receipts, any unpaid Dividend Equivalent Payment owing to such holder (ii) if no Dividend Equivalent Payment has been paid or is payable in respect of the Subscription Receipts at any time following the issuance of the Subscription Receipts, such holder's proportionate share of any interest and other income received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds. The portion of the Termination Payment that is paid out of interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds will be subject to the tax treatment described below under the heading "Holders Not Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Dividend Equivalent Payment", in the case of the applicable portion of any unpaid pro rata Dividend Equivalent Payment, or under the heading "Holders Not Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Pro Rata Share of Interest", in any other case.
The Termination Payment will be made from the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time, provided that if the balance of the Escrowed Funds is insufficient to cover the full amount of the aggregate of the Termination Payments, the Corporation will be required to pay the Termination Top-up as described above under "Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Acquisition Failing to Close".
The payment of the Termination Payment will generally result in a disposition of a Subscription Receipt by the Non-Resident Holder of such Subscription Receipt. A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized and may not recognize any capital loss realized unless the Subscription Receipt constitutes "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and in respect of any capital gain and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention. For a description of "taxable Canadian property", see the discussion above under "Holders Not Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Other Dispositions of Subscription Receipts".
S-38
If no Dividend Equivalent Payment has been paid or is payable to holders, a Non-Resident Holder will generally not be subject to Canadian withholding tax in respect of interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds.
Non-Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax treatment to the Non-Resident Holder of the Termination Top-up, including whether and to what extent any part of the Termination Top-up should be treated as an amount paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of interest, a dividend or another type of payment for withholding tax purposes under the Tax Act. In this regard, the Subscription Receipt Agent intends to withhold at the statutory rate of 25% of the gross amount of the Termination Top-up.
Pro Rata Share of Interest
If no Dividend Equivalent Payment has been paid or is payable to holders, a Non-Resident Holder will generally not be subject to Canadian withholding tax in respect of interest received or credited, or deemed to be received or credited, on the investment of the Escrowed Funds (including interest that is remitted to the Corporation upon the acquisition of a Common Share pursuant to the Subscription Receipt).
Dividend Equivalent Payment
As described above, a holder of a Subscription Receipt will be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Payments out of the Escrowed Funds concurrently with any dividends on the Common Shares for which record dates occur during the period commencing on the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the Acquisition Closing Date or to, and including, the date of a Termination Event, as applicable.
Dividend Equivalent Payments will be made first out of any interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds and thereafter out of the Escrowed Funds as a refund of the portion of the Offering Price of the Subscription Receipt. Dividend Equivalent Payments that are made out of interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax unless such interest constitutes "participating debt interest" (within the meaning of the Tax Act). If such interest is considered to be participating debt interest, the amount paid to a Non-Resident Holder would be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the statutory rate of 25% (subject to reduction under an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the Non-Resident Holder's country of residence and in respect of which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled to the benefits). In this respect, it is uncertain whether or not such interest would constitute "participating debt interest" for purposes of the Tax Act. The Subscription Receipt Agent will withhold at the statutory rate of 25% of the gross amount of such Dividend Equivalent Payment (subject to reduction under an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the Non-Resident Holder's country of residence and in respect of which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled to the benefits) on the portion of any Dividend Equivalent Payment which is paid out of the Non-Resident Holder's pro rata share of interest received or credited on the investment of the Escrowed Funds. For example, under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (the "Treaty"), the withholding tax rate in respect of such Dividend Equivalent Payment paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited to or derived by a person who is the beneficial owner of the Dividend Equivalent Payment and is resident in the U.S. for purposes of, and entitled to full benefits under, the Treaty, would generally be reduced to 15%.
Any portion of the Dividend Equivalent Payment that is paid as a partial refund of the Offering Price for the Subscription Receipt generally should reduce the cost to the Non-Resident Holder of the Common Shares acquired pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts and should not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.
Non-Resident Holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequence of the receipt of a Dividend Equivalent Payment.
S-39
S-40
Holding and Disposing of Common Shares
Dividends on Common Shares
Any dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, by the Corporation on the Common Shares to a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend or deemed dividend, subject to any applicable reduction in the rate of such withholding under an income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country where the Non-Resident Holder is resident and in respect of which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled to the benefits. For example, under the Treaty, the withholding tax rate in respect of a dividend paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited to or derived by a person who is the beneficial owner of the dividend and is resident in the U.S. for purposes of, and entitled to full benefits under, the Treaty, is generally reduced to 15%. Non-Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.
Disposition of Common Shares
A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized by such Non-Resident Holder on a disposition of a Common Share, and may not recognize any capital loss realized, unless the Common Shares constitute "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention. For a description of "taxable Canadian property", see under the heading above "Holders Not Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of Subscription Receipts – Other Dispositions of Subscription Receipts", as analogous tests will apply in respect of the Common Shares. A Non-Resident Holder contemplating a disposition of Common Shares that may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult a tax advisor prior to such disposition.
ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT
In the opinion of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, counsel to the Corporation and Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, based on the provisions of the Tax Act in force on the date hereof, the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts will be qualified investments at the time of acquisition by a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP"), registered retirement income fund ("RRIF"), deferred profit sharing plan, registered education savings plan ("RESP"), registered disability savings plan ("RDSP"), first home savings account ("FHSA") or tax-free savings account ("TFSA"), each as defined in the Tax Act and each being referred to herein as a "Plan", provided that, at the time of the acquisition by the Plan, (i) in the case of the Common Shares, such shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" (which currently includes the TSX) or the Corporation is a "public corporation" as defined in the Tax Act, and (ii) in the case of the Subscription Receipts, such Subscription Receipts are listed on a "designated stock exchange".
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Subscription Receipts and/or Common Shares are "prohibited investments", within the meaning of the Tax Act, for a particular RRSP, RRIF, RESP, RDSP, FHSA or TFSA (each a "Specified Plan"), the annuitant, the subscriber or the holder of the Specified Plan, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax under the Tax Act. The Subscription Receipts and Common Shares will generally not be a "prohibited investment" for these purposes unless the annuitant, the subscriber or the holder of the Specified Plan, as applicable, (i) does not deal at arm's length with the Corporation, for the purposes of the Tax Act, or (ii) has a "significant interest", as defined in the Tax Act, in the Corporation. Common Shares will generally not be a prohibited investment if the Common Shares are "excluded property" for the purposes of the prohibited investment rules for a Specified Plan. Prospective purchasers who intend to hold Subscription Receipts or Common Shares in a Specified Plan should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Subscription Receipts, the Common Shares underlying the Subscription Receipts, the Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts and the Over-Allotment Shares are subject to various risks including those risks inherent to the industries in which Keyera and/or PMC operate. Before deciding whether to invest in any Subscription
Receipts or Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts, as applicable, prospective purchasers should consider carefully the risk factors contained in and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement.
Discussions of certain risk factors affecting the Corporation in connection with its businesses are provided in the Corporation's disclosure documents filed from time to time with the securities commission or similar securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces of Canada which are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. In particular, see the risks described below and under the heading "Risk Factors" in each of the Prospectus, the AIF, the Annual MD&A and the Q1 2025 MD&A.
Risks Relating to the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares
Subscription Receipt Structure
The Common Shares underlying the Subscription Receipts will only be issued to holders of Subscription Receipts upon the Corporation delivering the Escrow Release Notice and Direction to the Subscription Receipt Agent. The Escrow Release Notice and Direction will only be delivered if the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied and the Acquisition Closing occurs prior to the Termination Time. See "Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Acquisition". There can be no assurance that the Escrow Release Condition will be satisfied or that the Acquisition Closing will occur prior to the Termination Time. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, waive certain closing conditions in its favour in the Acquisition Agreement, agree to asset divestures or other conditions to obtain required regulatory clearances or agree with the Seller to amend the Acquisition Agreement and, as a consequence, consummate the Acquisition on terms that may be substantially different from those set forth in the Acquisition Agreement and described in this prospectus supplement. Other events could result in a Termination Event. As a result, the Acquisition Closing may not occur as contemplated in this prospectus supplement, or at all, and, if the Acquisition Closing does occur, the expected benefits of the Acquisition may not be fully realized. See "Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares – Funds in Escrow" and "The Acquisition". Until the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied, the Escrow Release Notice and Direction is delivered and the Common Shares are delivered pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, holders of Subscription Receipts have only the rights under the Subscription Receipt Agreement described under "Details of the Offering".
Pending the delivery of the Escrow Release Notice and Direction and the issuance of the Common Shares underlying the Subscription Receipts, the holders of the Subscription Receipts are not shareholders and the Subscription Receipts do not entitle the holders thereof to vote as or with holders of the Common Shares. The Escrow Release Notice and Direction will only be delivered if the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied and the Acquisition Closing occurs prior to the Termination Time. If a Termination Event occurs, the Subscription Receipt Agent will return to each holder of Subscription Receipts, from the Escrowed Funds, the Termination Payment. The balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time may not be sufficient to cover the aggregate amount of the Termination Payments. See "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares - Funds in Escrow." Also, each subscriber's subscription proceeds will be held in escrow pending a Termination Event, and accordingly subscribers will not be able to use such funds to take advantage of other investment opportunities that occur prior to a Termination Event. In addition, if the Acquisition Closing does not take place as contemplated, Keyera could suffer adverse consequences, including the loss of investor confidence.
Market Price
There is currently no market through which the Subscription Receipts may be sold and purchasers of Subscription Receipts may not be able to resell the Subscription Receipts purchased under this prospectus supplement. The price offered to the public for the Subscription Receipts and the number of Subscription Receipts to be issued have been determined by negotiations between the Corporation and the Underwriters. The price paid for each Subscription Receipt may bear no relationship to the price at which the Subscription Receipts may trade in the public market subsequent to the completion of the Offering. The Corporation cannot predict at what price the Subscription Receipts will trade and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Subscription Receipts or, if developed, that such market will be sustained.
S-41
The market price of Common Shares issuable to holders of Subscription Receipts (and Over-Allotment Shares, if applicable) may fluctuate due to a variety of factors relating to the Corporation's business, including announcements of new developments, fluctuations in the Corporation's operating results, sales of Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation, failure to meet analysts' expectations, general market conditions or the worldwide economy. In the past, the Common Shares and stock markets in Canada and the U.S. have experienced significant price fluctuations, which may have been unrelated to the operating performance of the Corporation or the other affected companies. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Subscription Receipts and Common Shares will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Corporation's performance. For these reasons, past trends in the price of Common Shares should not be relied upon to predict the future price of Common Shares.
The Corporation has applied to the TSX to list the Subscription Receipts offered under this prospectus supplement and the Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Subscription Receipts (including the Subscription Receipts issuable pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of such Subscription Receipts). Such listings are subject to the Corporation fulfilling all the listing requirements of the TSX, as applicable. There can be no assurance that the Subscription Receipts and the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts (including the Subscription Receipts issuable pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of such Subscription Receipts) will be accepted for listing on the TSX.
Funds in Escrow
The Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow until the earlier of: (i) the delivery of the Escrow Release Notice and Direction; and (ii) the Termination Time. The Escrow Release Notice and Direction will only be delivered if the Escrow Release Condition has been satisfied prior to the Termination Time. There can be no assurance that the Escrow Release Condition will be satisfied on or prior to the Termination Time.
Upon delivery of the Escrow Release Notice and Direction, the Escrowed Funds, less the Escrowed Underwriters' Fee and the Dividend Equivalent Payment, if any, will be released to the Corporation in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subscription Receipt Agreement and such Escrow Release Notice and Direction may be delivered up to seven (7) business days prior to the anticipated Acquisition Closing Date. It is anticipated that such released funds will be used, directly or indirectly, together with borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, to pay a portion of the Purchase Price of the Acquisition. There is a possibility, however, that after such release the Acquisition will not close within seven (7) business days of the release, prior to the Termination Time or at all and in any such event the Corporation will be required, under the Subscription Receipt Agreement, to return such released funds to the Subscription Receipt Agent. In such case, holders of the Subscription Receipts will be required to rely on the Corporation to comply with its obligations to repay such funds to the Subscription Receipt Agent as sufficient amounts will no longer be held in escrow.
Additionally, the Dividend Equivalent Payments payable to the holders of Subscription Receipts will be paid from the Escrowed Funds. The Termination Payment payable to the holders of Subscription Receipts will also be paid from the Escrowed Funds. If the balance of the Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time is insufficient to cover the aggregate amount of the Termination Payments payable to the holders of Subscription Receipts, pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, Keyera will be required to pay to the Subscription Receipt Agent, as agent on behalf on the holders of Subscription Receipts, the deficiency between the amount of Escrowed Funds at the Termination Time and the aggregate of the Termination Payments due to the holders of Subscription Receipts. In either case, holders of Subscription Receipts will be required to rely on the Corporation to repay such funds as sufficient amounts will no longer be held in escrow.
Issuance of Additional Common Shares
Keyera's articles of incorporation and by-laws allow it to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the Board of Directors, in many cases, without the approval of Keyera's shareholders. As part of this Offering, Keyera could issue up to ● Subscription Receipts, which number includes the ● Subscription Receipts issuable pursuant to the Offering and the ● Subscription
S-42
Receipts issuable if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full by the Underwriters, each representing the right to receive one Common Share. Except as described under the heading "Plan of Distribution", Keyera may issue additional Common Shares in subsequent offerings (including through the sale of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares). Keyera may also issue Common Shares to finance future acquisitions. Keyera cannot predict the size of future issuances of Common Shares or the effect that future issuances and sales of Common Shares will have on the market price of the Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional Common Shares, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Subscription Receipts or the Common Shares. With any additional issuance of Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and economic interest and Keyera may experience dilution in its earnings per share.
Dividends
Holders of Subscription Receipts (including Subscription Receipts that may be issued upon the exercise of the over-Allotment Option) will be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Payments in respect of, and paid concurrently with, any dividends on the Common Shares for which record dates occur during the period commencing on the Offering Closing Date to, but excluding, the Acquisition Closing Date or to, and including, the Termination Date, as applicable. Any dividends to be paid by the Corporation on the Common Shares and, accordingly, the Dividend Equivalent Payments that may be receivable in respect of the Subscription Receipts are expected to receive, if so declared by the Board of Directors, in respect of the dividend payable to holders of Common Shares on or about September 29, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2025. The payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Corporation's Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, the financial condition of Keyera, general business conditions and other factors that the Board of Directors may in the future consider to be relevant. In addition, the Corporation's ability to pay dividends following the Acquisition could be adversely affected if the free cash flow expected to result from the Acquisition does not materialize when coupled with the potentially dilutive effect of the additional Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipts to be issued pursuant to the Offering.
Risks Relating to the Acquisition
Closing of the Acquisition
The closing of the Offering will occur before the Acquisition Closing. The Acquisition Closing is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory clearances. See "Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Acquisition – Regulatory Risk". There is no certainty, nor can Keyera provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. A substantial delay in obtaining regulatory clearances or the imposition of unfavourable terms or conditions in the approvals could have a material adverse effect on Keyera's ability to complete the Acquisition and, if completed, on Keyera's or PMC's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See "The Acquisition – The Acquisition Agreement – Closing Conditions". The Corporation intends to consummate the Acquisition as soon as practicable after obtaining the required regulatory clearances and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions.
Acquisition Credit Facilities
Keyera's ability to borrow under the Acquisition Credit Facilities is subject to certain customary conditions that Keyera must satisfy. If Keyera is unable to satisfy one or more of those conditions and such conditions are not waived, Keyera will not be able to borrow amounts under the Acquisition Credit Facilities to fund the Acquisition. If Keyera cannot borrow under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, Keyera may not have the cash necessary to fund the Purchase Price and close the Acquisition and the Seller will, in certain circumstances, have the right to terminate the Acquisition Agreement. In addition, while it is possible that alternative sources of financing may not be available, alternative sources, if available, may be on terms that are less favourable than the terms of the Acquisition Credit Facilities. See "The Acquisition – Financing the Acquisition".
S-43
Unexpected Liabilities Related to the Acquisition
The Corporation has conducted due diligence in connection with the Acquisition, however, there may be liabilities of PMC that the Corporation failed to discover or was unable to quantify in the due diligence which it conducted in connection with the Acquisition and the Corporation may not be indemnified for some or all of these liabilities.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Corporation has obtained indemnities from the Seller in respect of certain liabilities of PMC, including in respect of pre-closing tax matters of PMC, and a guarantee from Plains in respect of the payment and certain performance obligations of Seller under the Acquisition Agreement. In addition, the Corporation has obtained a representation and warranty insurance policy package with combined coverage limits of up to $500 million. Such representation and warranty insurance policy is subject to certain exclusions and limitations. In addition, there may be circumstances for which the insurer may elect to limit such coverage or refuse to indemnify the Corporation or situations for which the coverage provided under the representation and warranty insurance policy may not be sufficient or applicable.
The discovery, existence or quantification of any such liabilities and the Corporation's inability to recover or claim from the Seller, Plains or the provider of the representation and warranty insurance policy could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition or future prospects.
Nature of Transactions
Acquisitions of NGL facilities businesses are based in large part on engineering, environmental and economic assessments made by the acquirer, independent engineers and consultants. These assessments include a series of assumptions regarding such factors as operational performance, status of and impact of policy, and legislation and regulations. Many of these factors are subject to change and are beyond Keyera's control. All such assessments involve a measure of engineering, environmental and regulatory uncertainty that could result in lower revenue or higher operating or capital expenditures than anticipated.
Information Provided by PMC and the Seller
All information related to PMC in this prospectus supplement is based on information provided by PMC and the Seller. Although the Corporation has conducted what it believes to be a prudent and thorough level of investigation with respect to PMC, its business and its assets in connection with the Acquisition, a certain degree of risk remains regarding the accuracy and completeness of such information. While the Corporation has no reason to believe the information obtained from PMC and the Seller is misleading, untrue or incomplete, the Corporation cannot assure the accuracy or completeness of such information, nor can the Corporation compel PMC or the Seller to disclose events which may have occurred or may affect the completeness or accuracy of such information, but which are unknown to the Corporation.
Pro Forma Financial Information may not be Indicative of Keyera's Financial Condition or Results following the Acquisition
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information contained in this prospectus supplement is presented for illustrative purposes only as of its respective dates and may not be indicative of the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of Keyera following completion of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from the respective historical financial statements of Keyera and the Acquired Business, and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made to give effect to the Acquisition including the conversion of the Acquired Business' historical financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS Accounting Standards. The information upon which such adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary and adjustments and assumptions of this nature are difficult to make with complete accuracy. Moreover, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not include, among other things, estimated synergies or adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities in connection with the Acquisition, or future acquisitions or disposals not yet known or probable. Actual amounts recorded upon the finalization of the Purchase Price allocation pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement may differ from the amounts reflected in the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information may not
S-44
reflect all of the costs that are expected to be incurred by PMC and the Corporation in connection with the Acquisition. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information contained in this prospectus supplement is presented for informational purposes only and Keyera's assets, results of operations and financial condition following the Acquisition may differ significantly from those indicated in the unaudited pro forma financial information.
Financial and Operational Forecasts and Projections
The Corporation's financial and operational forecasts are based on a number of assumptions, many of which are outside of Keyera's control, and, if some or all of the underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the Corporation's actual financial and operational results may be different from the forecasts and such differences may be material. This prospectus supplement includes forecasts of, among others, the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition, synergies, and Keyera's anticipated growth, which are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that are discussed in this prospectus supplement and that may not prove to be correct. Such assumptions are further subject, to a significant degree, on future business decisions, some of which may change, and that could further cause our actual results to differ materially from those forecasted. Accordingly, the forecasts contained in this prospectus supplement are only an estimate of what Keyera's management believes to be realizable as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Keyera's forecasts are forward-looking statements and should be read together with the historical financial and operational information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. Although Keyera considers the assumptions and estimates underlying the forecasts to be reasonable as of the date of this prospectus supplement, those assumptions and estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to significant business, economic, financial, regulatory, technological and competitive risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and if our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, our actual results may differ materially from our forecasts.
Regulatory Risk
The Acquisition is conditional upon, among other things, (i) with respect to the Competition Act, the issuance of an advance ruling certificate or the expiry or termination of all applicable waiting periods and, unless waived by Keyera, confirmation from the Commissioner of Competition that he does not, at that time, intend to bring an application under section 92 of the Competition Act in respect of the Acquisition, (ii) with respect to the CTA, a determination by the Minister of Transport that the Acquisition does not raise issues with respect to the public interest as it relates to national transportation, or if the Minister of Transport determines that the Acquisition does raise such issues, approval from the Governor in Council on conditions acceptable to Keyera, and (iii) with respect to the HSR Act, all applicable waiting periods having expired or being terminated (together, the "Required Regulatory Approvals"). There is no certainty, nor can Keyera provide any assurance, that the Required Regulatory Approvals can be obtained on conditions acceptable to Keyera, or, if so obtained, when they will be obtained. A substantial delay in obtaining the Required Regulatory Approvals or the conditioning of the Required Regulatory Approvals on unfavourable terms or conditions could have a material adverse effect on Keyera's ability to complete the Acquisition and, if completed, on Keyera's or PMC's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, in the event that regulatory agencies impose such unfavourable terms and/or conditions for Required Regulatory Approvals, the Corporation may still be required to complete the transaction on the terms set forth in the Acquisition Agreement.
Failure to Realize Acquisition Benefits
As described in "The Acquisition", the Corporation believes that the Acquisition will be beneficial. However, there is a risk that some or all of the expected benefits of the Acquisition may fail to materialize, or may not occur within the time periods that Keyera anticipates. The realization of such benefits may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Corporation.
Moreover, a variety of factors, including those risk factors set forth in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, may adversely affect the Corporation's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition.
S-45
Integration of PMC
Although the Corporation expects to realize certain benefits as a result of the Acquisition, there is a possibility that, following the Acquisition, the Corporation is unable to successfully integrate PMC into its operations in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition or may be unable to do so within the anticipated timeframe.
The Corporation expects to implement certain operational improvements and cost-savings initiatives following the completion of the Acquisition. Any cost-savings that the Corporation realizes from such efforts may differ materially from the Corporation's estimates. In addition, any cost-savings that the Corporation realizes may be offset, in whole or in part, by reductions in revenues or through increases in other expenses. The Corporation's operational improvements and cost-savings plans are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that may change at any time.
To effectively integrate PMC into its current operations, Keyera must establish appropriate operational, administrative, finance, management systems and controls and marketing functions relating to PMC. These efforts, together with the ongoing integration following the Acquisition, will require substantial attention from Keyera's management. This diversion of management attention, as well as any other difficulties which Keyera may encounter in completing the Acquisition and integration process, could have an adverse effect on Keyera's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. There can be no assurance that Keyera will be successful in integrating PMC's operations or that the expected benefits of the Acquisition will be realized.
Reliance Under the Transition Services Agreement
The Acquisition Agreement contemplates that the Corporation will enter into a Transition Services Agreement with the Seller and certain affiliates of Seller on the Acquisition Closing Date. The Transition Services Agreement is intended to facilitate the transition of:
(a) PMC’s NGL business to the Corporation in a seamless and uninterrupted manner after the Acquisition Closing; and
(b) PMC’s business relating to the Excluded Assets to an affiliate of Seller,
with the scope and description of such transition services to be finalized prior to the Acquisition Closing Date. If the Seller (and its affiliates) does not perform those services, the business, financial condition and future performance of PMC and the Corporation may be negatively affected. If, after the expiration of the Transition Services Agreement, the Corporation is unable to perform these services, the Corporation may experience operational difficulties and an increase in its costs.
Litigation and Public Attitude towards the Acquisition
The Corporation may be exposed to increased litigation from customers, suppliers, shareholders, or other third-parties in connection with the Acquisition. Such litigation may have an adverse impact on the Corporation's business and results of operations or may cause disruptions to the Corporation's operations. Even if any such claims are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert the time and resources of management.
Furthermore, public attitudes towards the Acquisition and the Corporation's further investment in fossil fuel projects could result in negative press coverage and other adverse public statements affecting the Corporation. Adverse press coverage and other adverse statements could negatively impact the ability of the Corporation to achieve the benefits of the Acquisition or take advantage of various business and market opportunities. The direct and indirect effects of negative publicity, and the demands of responding to and addressing it, may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Acquisition and Related Costs
The Corporation expects to incur significant costs associated with completing the Acquisition and integrating the operations of Keyera and PMC. The substantial majority of such costs will be non-recurring expenses resulting from
S-46
the Acquisition and will consist of transaction costs related to the Acquisition, facilities and systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of Keyera and PMC's respective businesses and such costs, if incurred, may have a negative effect on the Corporation's business, operations and financial performance and cash flows.
Increased Indebtedness
In financing the Acquisition, Keyera will incur additional debt, including by way of borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, and/or through the issuance of debt securities, which may include senior unsecured medium term notes and junior debt securities of various tenors under the Acquisition Debt Offerings. See "The Acquisition – Financing the Acquisition" and "Consolidated Capitalization". Such borrowings or debt securities, if incurred or issued, will increase Keyera's consolidated indebtedness. Such additional indebtedness will increase Keyera's interest expense and debt service obligations and may have a negative effect on Keyera's results of operations and/or credit ratings. Such increased indebtedness may also make Keyera's results more sensitive to increases in interest rates. Keyera's degree of leverage could have other important consequences for purchasers, including: (i) having a negative effect on Keyera's ratings; (ii) it may limit Keyera's ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; (iii) it may limit Keyera's ability to declare dividends on the Common Shares; (iv) Keyera may be vulnerable in a downturn in general economic conditions; and (v) Keyera may be unable to make capital expenditures that are important to its growth and strategies.
Keyera currently has an investment grade credit rating, however, its credit ratings could be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in the rating agency's judgment, the circumstances warrant. Increased indebtedness arising from the Acquisition could be a factor considered by the ratings agencies in downgrading Keyera's credit rating. If a rating agency were to downgrade Keyera's credit rating below investment grade, Keyera's borrowing costs could increase and its funding sources could decrease. In addition, a failure by Keyera to maintain an investment grade credit rating could affect its business relationships and costs of doing business with suppliers and operating partners. A credit downgrade could also adversely affect the availability and cost of capital needed for the Corporation to fund growth investments.
Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Financial Information
The historical financial information relating to the Acquired Business included in this prospectus supplement, including such information used to prepare the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements, has been derived on a historical basis from the historical accounting records of the Acquired Business. The historical financial information may not reflect what the Acquired Business' financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had the Corporation owned all of the equity interests in PMC during the period presented or what the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows will be in the future. The historical financial information does not contain any adjustments to reflect changes that may occur in the Corporation's cost structure, financing and operations as a result of the Acquisition.
In preparing the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements, the Corporation has given effect to, among other items, the Offering and the completion of the Acquisition. The assumptions and estimates underlying the Keyera Pro Forma Financial Statements may be materially different from the Corporation's actual experience going forward. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Forward-Looking Information".
Risk of Default in the Repayment of Borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities
The Corporation has secured the Acquisition Credit Facilities (see "The Acquisition – Financing the Acquisition"). In the event Keyera draws on the Acquisition Credit Facilities, Keyera may repay all or a portion of such borrowings using proceeds from the issuance of additional securities, which may include senior unsecured medium term notes and junior debt securities of various tenors under the Acquisition Debt Offerings. See "Consolidated Capitalization". Keyera may not be able to sell such securities in the time period it currently estimates, on the terms that Keyera expects to achieve, or at all. If Keyera is unable to raise sufficient proceeds from such intended sale of such securities on terms
S-47
acceptable to Keyera, Keyera's ability to repay borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities as anticipated could be adversely affected. In the event Keyera is unable to refinance borrowings it may incur under the Acquisition Credit Facilities in the manner Keyera intends, Keyera may be required to utilize other sources of liquidity including cash on hand or cash from operating activities. Keyera may also be required to seek extensions to or modifications of the terms of the Acquisition Credit Facilities in order to defer the maturity dates of any borrowings incurred thereunder. Depending upon credit market conditions at the time when borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities, if any, are due for repayment, and Keyera's own financial performance at that time, Keyera may be unable to obtain extensions or modifications of the terms of the Acquisition Credit Facilities on terms satisfactory to Keyera, or at all, which could result in Keyera defaulting on its repayment obligations under the Acquisition Credit Facilities and being subject to various remedies available to the lenders thereunder including remedies available under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency legislation.
Risks Relating to PMC's Business
Business Operations
The risk factors set forth in the AIF, Annual MD&A and the Q1 2025 MD&A under the heading "Risk Factors" relating to Keyera's business and operations generally apply equally in respect of the business and operations of PMC. In addition, purchasers should carefully consider the following risks in relation to PMC's business and operations.
PMC's Profitability can be Negatively Affected
PMC faces competition in all aspects of its business and can give no assurances that it will be able to compete effectively against its competitors. In general, competition comes from a wide variety of participants in various contexts, including new entrants and existing participants and in connection with day-to-day business, investment capital projects, acquisitions and joint venture activities. Some of PMC's competitors have access to capital resources many times greater than PMC's or control greater supplies of petroleum substances (including NGL), providing added leverage through scale. In addition, other competitors with significant excess capacity and high financial leverage may be motivated to reduce transportation rates to levels approaching variable operating costs, without regard to whether they are generating an acceptable return on their investment. These competitive risks make it more difficult for PMC to attract new customers and expose the business to increased contract renewal and customer retention risk. This combined with uncertainty in market conditions makes recontracting at favourable rates and volumes more challenging.
A significant driver of competition in some of the markets where PMC operates stems from the rapid development of new midstream energy infrastructure capacity that was driven by the combination of (i) significant increases in oil and gas production and development in the applicable production area (both actual and anticipated); (ii) relatively low barriers to entry; and (iii) generally widespread access to relatively low cost capital. While this environment presents opportunities for PMC, many of the areas where PMC operates have become overbuilt, resulting in an excess of midstream energy infrastructure capacity. As a result, as an established participant in some markets, PMC also faces competition from aggressive new entrants who are willing to provide services at a lower rate of return in order to establish relationships and gain a foothold in the market. In addition, PMC's hydrocarbon marketing activities utilize a substantial portion of PMC's pipeline and facility capacity. Competition that impacts PMC's marketing activities could result in a reduction in the use of PMC's transportation and facilities assets. All of these competitive effects put downward pressure on PMC's throughput and margins and, together with other adverse competitive effects, could have a significant adverse impact on its financial position and cash flows.
With regard to PMC's NGL operations, PMC competes with large oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids companies that may, relative to PMC, have greater financial resources and access to supplies of natural gas and NGL. The principal elements of competition are rates, processing fees, geographic proximity to the natural gas or NGL mix, available processing and fractionation capacity, transportation alternatives and their associated costs, business mix and access to end-user markets.
S-48
Changes in Supply and Demand
Supply and demand for hydrocarbon products PMC handles can fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including commodity prices, current and future economic conditions, geopolitical conflicts or events, fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel adoption, governmental regulation (including climate change regulations) and technological advances in fuel economy and energy generation and storage technologies. For example, legislative, regulatory or executive actions intended to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases could increase the cost of consuming hydrocarbon products or accelerate the adoption of alternative energy technologies, thereby causing a reduction in the demand for such products. Given that petroleum products are global commodities, demand can also be significantly influenced by global market conditions, particularly in key consumption markets such as the United States and China, domestic and foreign political conditions and governmental or regulatory actions (including restrictions on the import or export of petroleum products). Demand also depends on the ability and willingness of shippers having access to PMC's transportation assets to satisfy their demand by deliveries through those assets. Decreases in demand for the products PMC handles, whether at a global level or in areas PMC's assets serve, can negatively affect PMC's operating results.
Fluctuations in demand for NGL products, whether because of general or industry specific economic conditions, new government regulations, global competition, reduced demand by consumers for products made with NGL products, increased competition from petroleum-based feedstocks due to pricing differences, mild winter weather for some NGL products, particularly propane, or other reasons, could result in a decline in the volume of NGL products PMC handles or a reduction of the fees PMC charges for its services or margins PMC earns. Also, increased supply of NGL products could reduce the value of NGL PMC handles and reduce the margins realized by PMC.
NGL and products produced from NGL also compete with products from global markets. Any reduced demand or increased supply for ethane, propane, normal butane, iso-butane or natural gasoline in the markets PMC accesses for any of the reasons stated above could adversely affect demand for the services PMC provides as well as NGL prices, which could negatively impact PMC's operating results. Further, tariffs or threats of tariffs in a trade environment that may be de-globalizing also has the potential to increase the cost of business and increases uncertainty regarding cross-border trade policies.
Natural Disasters, Catastrophes, Attacks (Including Eco-Terrorist and Cyber attacks), Process Safety Failures, Equipment Failures or Other Events
Some of PMC's operations involve risks of personal injury, property damage and environmental damage that could curtail its operations and otherwise materially adversely affect its cash flow. Virtually all of PMC's operations are exposed to potential natural disasters or other natural events, including hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, floods, earthquakes, shifting soil and/or landslides. PMC's facilities and operations are also vulnerable to accidents caused by process safety failures, equipment failures or human error. In addition, the U.S. and Canadian federal governments have previously issued warnings that energy assets, specifically the nation's pipeline infrastructure, may be targets of terrorist organizations. Terrorists may target PMC's physical facilities and hackers may attack PMC's electronic and computer systems.
If one or more of PMC's pipelines or other facilities, including electronic and computer systems, or any facilities or businesses that deliver products, supplies or services to PMC or that PMC relies on in order to operate its business, are damaged by severe weather or any other disaster, accident, catastrophe, terrorist attack or event, PMC's operations could be significantly interrupted. In addition, PMC's marketing activities may include purchasing NGL that is carried on railcars, tankers or barges. Such cargos are at risk of being damaged or lost because of events such as derailment, marine disaster, inclement weather, mechanical failures, grounding or collision, fire, explosion, environmental accidents, piracy, terrorism and political instability. These incidents or interruptions could involve significant damage or injury to people, property or the environment, and repairs could take anywhere from a few days to several months or more depending on the severity and impact of the event. Any such event that interrupts the revenues generated by PMC's operations, hinders its ability to fulfill its contractual obligations or which causes PMC to make significant expenditures not covered by insurance, could reduce PMC's profitability and cash flows and, accordingly, adversely affect its financial condition.
S-49
PMC may also suffer damage (including reputational damage) as a result of a disaster, accident, catastrophe, terrorist attack or other such event. The occurrence of such an event, or a series of such events, especially if one or more of them occurs in a highly populated or sensitive area, could negatively impact public perception of PMC's operations and/or make it more difficult for PMC to obtain the approvals, permits, licences or real property interests PMC needs in order to operate its assets or complete planned growth projects or other transactions.
Opposition from Various Groups; Societal and Political Pressures
PMC may face opposition to the development or operation of its pipelines and facilities from environmental groups, landowners, indigenous groups, local groups and other advocates. Such opposition could take many forms, including organized protests, attempts to block or sabotage PMC's operations, intervention in regulatory or administrative proceedings involving PMC's assets, or lawsuits or other actions designed to prevent, disrupt or delay the development or operation of PMC's assets and business. For example, repairing PMC's pipelines often involves securing consent from individual landowners to access their property; one or more landowners may resist PMC's efforts to make needed repairs, which could lead to an interruption in the operation of the affected pipeline or other facility for a period of time that is significantly longer than would have otherwise been the case. In addition, acts of sabotage or eco-terrorism could cause significant damage or injury to people, property or the environment or lead to extended interruptions of PMC's operations.
PMC's business plans are based upon the assumption that societal sentiment and applicable laws and regulations will continue to allow and enable the future development, transportation and use of hydrocarbon-based fuels. Policy decisions relating to the production, refining, transportation and marketing of hydrocarbon-based fuels are subject to political pressures, the negative portrayal of the industry in which PMC operates by the media and others and the influence and protests of environmental and other special interest groups. Such negative sentiment regarding the hydrocarbon energy industry could influence consumer preferences and government or regulatory actions, which could, in turn, have an adverse impact on PMC's business. The ebb and flow of political sentiment often can create uncertainty, as popular policies today are not static and changes in political administrations may bring about change in policies with respect to the hydrocarbon energy industry.
Activists concerned about the potential effects of climate change have directed their attention towards sources of funding for hydrocarbon energy companies, which has resulted in certain financial institutions, funds and other sources of capital restricting or eliminating their investment in energy-related activities. Ultimately, this could make it more difficult to secure funding for exploration and production activities or energy infrastructure related projects and ongoing operations, and consequently could both indirectly affect demand for PMC's services and directly affect its ability to fund construction, other capital projects and ongoing operations.
Influences on PMC's NGL Marketing Activities
The profitability of PMC's NGL marketing activities are dependent on a variety of factors affecting the markets for NGL, including regional and international supply and demand imbalances, takeaway availability and constraints, transportation costs and the overall forward market for NGL products. Periods when differentials are wide or when there is volatility in the forward market structure are generally more favourable for PMC's marketing activities. During periods where midstream infrastructure is over-built and/or there is a lack of volatility in the pricing structure, PMC's results may be negatively impacted.
Depending on the overall duration of these transition periods, how PMC has allocated its assets to particular strategies and the tenor of PMC's storage agreements, these periods may have either an adverse or beneficial effect on the profitability of PMC's marketing activities. In the past, the results of such activities have varied significantly based on market conditions and these activities may continue to experience highly variable results from future changes to NGL markets.
Under-Utilization of Certain Assets
From time to time in connection with PMC's business, PMC may lease or otherwise secure the right to use certain assets (such as railcars, trucks, barges, ships, pipeline capacity, storage capacity and other similar assets) with the
S-50
expectation that the revenues PMC generates through the use of such assets will be greater than the fixed costs PMC incurs pursuant to the applicable leases or other arrangements. However, when such assets are not utilized or are under-utilized, PMC's profitability could be negatively impacted because the revenues PMC earns are either non-existent or reduced below its costs, but PMC remains obligated to continue paying any applicable fixed charges, in addition to the potential of incurring other costs attributable to the non-utilization of such assets (such as maintenance, storage or other costs). Significant under-utilization of assets PMC leases or otherwise secures the right to use in connection with its business could have a significant negative impact on its profitability and cash flows.
Maintenance, Repair or Asset Retirement Costs
PMC's pipelines, terminals, storage and processing and fractionation assets are generally long-lived assets, and many of them have been in service for many years. The age and condition of PMC's assets could result in increased maintenance, repair or asset retirement expenditures in the future. Any significant increase in these expenditures could adversely affect PMC's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
PMC's Assets are Subject to Federal and Provincial Regulation
PMC's Canadian pipelines are subject to regulation by the CER and by provincial authorities. Under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, the CER could investigate the tariff rates or the terms and conditions of service relating to a jurisdictional pipeline on its own initiative upon the filing of a toll or tariff application, or upon the filing of a written complaint. If the CER found the rates or terms of service relating to such pipeline to be unjust or unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory, the CER could require PMC to change its rates, provide access to other shippers or change its terms of service. A provincial authority could, on the application of a shipper or other interested party, investigate the tariff rates or PMC's terms and conditions of service relating to PMC's provincially-regulated proprietary pipelines. If it found PMC's rates or terms of service to be contrary to statutory requirements, it could impose conditions it considers appropriate. A provincial authority could declare a pipeline to be a common carrier pipeline, and require PMC to change its rates, provide access to other shippers or otherwise alter its terms of service. Any reduction in PMC's tariff rates would result in lower revenue and cash flows.
In the United States, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") plays a similar role to the CER where PMC's rates could be subject to challenge. FERC regulates interstate pipelines and oversees tariff filings and rate setting. Under the Natural Gas Act (the "NGA"), rates charged for interstate pipeline services are required to be "just and reasonable." FERC, as the agency overseeing this provision of the NGA, typically decides "just and reasonable" rates through "cost-of-service" ratemaking where rates are generally based on the pipeline's costs of providing service and a reasonable return on investment. However, like the CER, FERC also has the authority to, either on its own or through a third-party petition, require prospective changes in rates charged by a pipeline. FERC also sets rates for intrastate pipelines under the Natural Gas Policy Act where rates must meet a "fair and reasonable" standard. FERC's authority to regulate intrastate pipeline rates is more limited as intrastate pipelines often have the option to instead use approved rates based on State agency regulations. However, third-parties such as shippers have the option of filing petitions with FERC under the Natural Gas Policy Act to challenge intrastate rates.
Protection of Threatened and Endangered Species or to Critical Habitat, Wetlands and Natural Resources
Protections are given to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Canada's Species at Risk Act, and analogous provincial laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on activities that have the potential to adversely affect that species' habitat. Some of PMC's operations are conducted in areas where protected species or their habitats are known to exist, and from time to time PMC's development plans have been impacted in these areas. PMC may be obligated to develop and implement plans to avoid potential adverse effects to protected species and their habitats, and PMC may be delayed, restricted or prohibited from conducting operations in certain locations or during certain seasons, such as breeding and nesting seasons, when PMC's operations could have an adverse effect on the species. Additionally, the designation of previously unprotected species or the re-designation of under-protected species as threatened or endangered in areas where PMC or its customers conduct operations could cause PMC to incur increased costs arising from species protection measures or could result in delays, restrictions or prohibitions on PMC's customers' development and production activities that could have a material adverse effect on PMC's results of operations.
S-51
In the United States, PMC's activities are subject to similar regulation at both the federal and state levels. PMC may be obligated to obtain incidental take permits under the Endangered Species Act or analogous state laws to the extent PMC's operations impact listed species or its habitat under endangered species laws. PMC's operations may be subject to other permitting requirements under various federal and local laws including but not limited to the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and analogous local laws. In addition to being enforceable by state and federal regulatory bodies, these programs often also include citizen suit provisions allowing third parties to enforce permits or other regulatory standards to the extent the governmental bodies are not. If PMC's operations require new construction or a change in siting or operations, this may trigger a number of procedural requirements. FERC oversees the operation and construction of interstate pipelines and its permitting often constitutes "major federal actions" under the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"). Under the NEPA, a "major federal action" that may significantly impact the human environment requires the federal agency that is taking the action (such as FERC) to first initiate a comprehensive environmental review, including potential consultation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if the project may impact jurisdictional aquatic resources such as surface waters or wetlands. If this major federal action may affect a listed species or its habitat, the agency must also first conduct an Endangered Species Act consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service. These agencies also may have to consult with interested state and tribal authorities to determine any impacts to cultural resources under the National Historic Preservation Act. These processes are time-consuming and may be targeted by legal challenges from parties objecting to the federal action. The litany of legal options that opponents have in objecting to PMC's US operations, whether it be enforcing PMC's permit or objecting to the procedural processes agencies must take to approve PMC's permits, can have adverse effects on PMC's operations by creating uncertainty and added compliance costs.

Note 1 Formation and Description of Business
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA" or "Parent") is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 1998. PAA's operations are conducted directly and indirectly through its primary operating subsidiaries. PAA is a publicly traded master limited partnership that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and provides logistics services for crude oil and natural gas liquids. PAA owns an extensive network of pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage, and gathering assets in key crude oil and Natural Gas Liquids ("NGL" or the "Company") producing basins and transportation corridors and at major market hubs in the United States and Canada.
PAA received an executed, non-binding, Letter of Intent ("LOI") on March 22, 2025 from a Canadian public company to sell its NGL business (the "NGL business") via a purchase agreement of the equity of Plains Midstream Canada ULC ("PMC ULC"). Management is required to create standalone generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") compliant carve-out financial statements for this transaction, as there were no prior discrete financial statements available.
The proposed sale of the NGL business consists of net assets and operations within three legal entities, Plains Midstream Canada ULC, Plains Midstream Superior LLC, and Plains LPG Services, L.P. Within these legal entities, there are NGL and crude oil operations in Canada and the U.S. The sale will involve the associated assets, liabilities, and revenue streams of Canadian NGL assets, as well as certain U.S. NGL assets.
Note 2 Basis of Combination and Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements as of and for the three months then ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The NGL business has historically operated as part of PAA and not as a standalone business. The accompanying Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been derived from the Parent's historical accounting records and are presented on a "carve-out" basis using a management approach. The Condensed Combined Financial Statements presented herewith report the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the NGL's business. As a direct ownership relationship did not exist among all the various legal entities comprising the NGL business, PAA's investment in the NGL business is shown in lieu of stockholder's equity in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
The Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income include all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Company as well as an allocation of corporate expenses related to functions and services performed by centralized Parent organizations such as operating expenses, maintenance capital, revenue shared costs, depreciation expense, interest expense and interest income. These expenses have been allocated to the NGL business based on direct usage or benefit, where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro-rata basis of revenues, headcount, or other measures as determined appropriate (as discussed further in Note 12). Management believes the assumptions underlying the Condensed Combined Financial Statements, including the assumptions regarding allocation of expenses, are reasonable. The financial information in these financial statements does not include all of the expenses that would have been incurred had the NGL business operated as a separate standalone entity or will incur in the future. Actual results and costs that would have been incurred if the NGL business had operated as a standalone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made.
The Condensed Combined Statements of Cash Flows present these corporate expenses that are cash in nature as cash flows from operating activities, as this is the nature of these costs at the Parent.
F-1-1-7
Note 2 Basis of Combination and Presentation (Continued)
The Condensed Combined Financial Statements include the attribution of certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by shared entities, but which are specifically identifiable to the NGL business. These shared assets and liabilities have been assigned to the Company on the basis of direct usage. The Parent's short and long-term debt has not been pushed down to the NGL business. Condensed Combined Financial Statements because the NGL business is not the legal obligor of the debt and the Parent's borrowings were not directly attributable to NGL business.
All of the allocations and estimates in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, the Condensed Combined Financial Statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the NGL business in the future or if the Company had been a separate, standalone entity during the periods presented. A more detailed discussion of the relationship with PAA, including a description of the costs which have been allocated to the NGL business, as well as the method of allocation, is included in Note 12 to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
We have prepared our accompanying financial statements in U.S. GAAP.
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 3 to the Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as detailed below.
Foreign currency transactions: One of our legal entities uses the Canadian dollar as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the legal entity with a Canadian dollar functional currency are translated at period-end rates of exchange, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing for each month. The resulting translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of other comprehensive income, which is reflected in Net Parent Investment on our Condensed Combined Balance Sheets.
Certain of our legal entities also enter into transactions and have monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the entities' respective functional currencies. Gains and losses from the revaluation of foreign currency transactions and monetary assets and liabilities are generally included in the Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. However, gains and losses arising from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the revaluation of foreign currency transactions and monetary assets and liabilities resulted in the recognition of a net gain of $0 million and $4 million respectively, in our Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements: There have been no new accounting pronouncements that have become effective or have been issued during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

Note 4 Revenues and Accounts Receivable (Continued)
The presentation above does not include the amount of consideration associated with certain income generating contracts, which include a fixed minimum level of service, that are either not within the scope of ASC 606 or do not meet the requirements for presentation as remaining performance obligations. The following are examples of contracts that are not included in the table above because they are not within the scope of ASC 606 or do not meet the requirements for presentation:
- Buy/sell arrangements with future committed volumes;
- Short-term contracts and those with variable consideration due to the election of practical expedients, as discussed below;
- Contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 842, Leases; and
- Contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
Trade accounts receivable and other receivables, net: At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, substantially all of our trade accounts receivable were less than 30 days past their invoice date. Our expected credit losses are immaterial. Although we consider our credit procedures to be adequate to mitigate any significant credit losses, the actual amount of current and future credit losses could vary significantly from estimated amounts.
The following is a reconciliation of trade accounts receivable from revenues from contracts with customers to total trade accounts receivable and other receivables, net as presented on our Condensed Combined Balance Sheets (in millions):
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Trade accounts receivable arising from revenues from contracts with customers | $ 149 | $ 199 |
| Other trade accounts receivables and other receivables | 108 | 73 |

Note 6 Property and Equipment
In accordance with our capitalization policy, expenditures made to expand the existing operating and/or earnings capacity of our assets are capitalized. Costs to obtain pipeline access ("Rights of way") are capitalized and are included with Property and equipment on our balance sheet. We also capitalize certain costs directly related to the construction of such assets, including related internal labor costs, engineering costs and interest costs. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, capitalized interest recorded to property and equipment was $1 million and $5 million, respectively. We also capitalize expenditures for the replacement and/or refurbishment of partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the operating and/or earnings capacity of our existing assets. Repair and maintenance expenditures incurred in order to maintain the day to day operation of our existing assets are expensed as incurred.
Property and equipment, net is stated at cost and consists of the following (in millions):
| Estimated Useful Lives (Years) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storage, terminal, fractionation and processing facilities | 10 - 50 | $ 2,096 | $ 1,999 |
| Pipeline systems | 10 - 50 | 538 | 523 |
| Construction in progress | N/A | 89 | 149 |
| Land and other (1) | 10 - 15 | 112 | 112 |
| Property and equipment, gross | 2,835 | 2,783 | |
| Accumulated depreciation | (828) | (798) | |
| Property and equipment, net | $ 2,007 | $ 1,985 |
(1) The useful lives disclosed apply to all assets in this category, excluding land. Land is considered to have an indefinite useful life and is therefore not depreciated.
We calculate our depreciation on finite-lived Property and Equipment using the straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives and salvage values of our assets.
Depreciation expense for Property and Equipment recorded in Depreciation and Amortization in the Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income amounted to $30 million and $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Subsequent events could cause us to change estimates, thus impacting the future calculation of depreciation.
Allocated depreciation expense from Parent of $1 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is included in General and administrative expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 12, Relationship with Plains All American and Related Entities for detailed disclosures regarding the methodology of corporate expense allocation.
Land improvements are not depreciated, and any construction in progress is not subject to depreciation until the asset is put into use.

Note 6 Property and Equipment (Continued)
Impairment of long-lived assets (held and used): Long-lived assets with recorded values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows are written down to estimated fair value in accordance with FASB guidance with respect to the accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Under this guidance, a long-lived asset is tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset is recognized. We periodically evaluate property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is highly dependent on the underlying assumptions of related cash flows. The subjective assumptions used to determine the existence of an impairment in carrying value include:
- whether there is an indication of impairment;
- the grouping of assets;
- the intention of "holding," "abandoning" or "selling" an asset;
- the forecast of undiscounted expected future cash flow over the asset's estimated useful life; and
- if an impairment exists, the fair value of the asset or asset group.
In addition, when we evaluate property and equipment and other long-lived assets for recoverability, it may also be necessary to review related depreciation estimates and methods.
We did not recognize any impairments associated with long lived assets.
Note 7 Derivatives
We identify the risks that underlie our core business activities and use risk management strategies to mitigate those risks when we determine that there is value in doing so. We use various derivative instruments to optimize our profits while managing our exposure to commodity price risk. Our commodity price risk management policies and procedures are designed to help ensure that our hedging activities address our risks by monitoring our derivative positions, as well as physical volumes, grades, locations, delivery schedules and storage capacity. Our policy is to use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and not for the purpose of speculating on changes in commodity prices.
We record all open derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings. Derivatives that are not designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes are recognized in earnings each period. Cash settlements associated with our derivative activities are classified within the same category as the related hedged item in our Condensed Combined Statements of Cash Flows.
Our financial derivatives, used for hedging risk, are governed through International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements and clearing brokerage agreements. These agreements include stipulations regarding the right of set off in the event that we or our counterparty default on performance obligations. If a default were to occur, both parties have the right to net amounts payable and receivable into a single net settlement between parties.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, none of our outstanding derivatives contained credit-risk related contingent features that would result in a material adverse impact to us upon any change in our credit ratings. Although we may be required to post margin on our exchange-traded derivatives transacted through a clearing brokerage account, as described below, we do not require our non-cleared derivative counterparties to post collateral with us.
F-1-1-12
F-1-1-13
Note 7 Derivatives (Continued)
Commodity price risk hedging: Our core business activities involve certain commodity price-related risks that we manage in various ways, including through the use of derivative instruments. Our policy is to (i) only purchase inventory for which we have a sales market, (ii) structure our sales contracts so that price fluctuations do not materially affect our operating income and (iii) not acquire and hold material physical inventory or derivatives for the purpose of speculating on commodity price changes. The material commodity-related risks inherent in our business activities are described below.
In the normal course of our operations, we purchase and sell commodities. We use derivatives to manage the associated risks and to optimize profits. As of March 31, 2025, net derivative positions related to these activities included:
- A net short position of 3.2 million barrels through December 2026 related to anticipated net sales of NGL inventory.
We purchase natural gas for processing and operational needs. Additionally, we purchase NGL mix for fractionation and sell the resulting individual specification products (including ethane, propane and butane). In conjunction with these activities, we hedge the price risk associated with the purchase of the natural gas and the subsequent sale of the individual specification products. The following table summarizes our open derivative positions utilized to hedge the price risk associated with anticipated purchases and sales related to our natural gas processing and NGL fractionation activities as of March 31, 2025.
| Notional Volume (Short)/Long | Remaining Tenor | |
|---|---|---|
| Natural gas purchases | 41.6 BcF | March 2026 |
| Propane sales | (7.8) MMbls | March 2026 |
| Butane sales | (0.9) MMbls | December 2025 |
| Condensate sales | (1.8) MMbls | December 2025 |
| Fuel gas requirements (1) | 1.6 Bcf | December 2025 |
| Power supply requirements (1) | 1.9 TWh | December 2030 |
(1) Positions to hedge a portion of our power supply and fuel gas requirements at our Canadian natural gas processing and fractionation plants.
(2)
Physical commodity contracts that meet the definition of a derivative but are ineligible, or not designated, for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. We have determined that substantially all of our physical commodity contracts qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception.
Our commodity derivatives are not designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes; as such, changes in fair value are reported in earnings. The following table summarizes the impact of our commodity derivatives recognized in earnings (in millions):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Product sales revenues | $ (33) | $ (146) |
| Field operating costs | 10 | 11 |
| Net loss from commodity derivative activity | $ (43) | $ (157) |
Note 7 Derivatives (Continued)
Our accounting policy is to offset derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty when a master netting arrangement exists. Accordingly, we also offset derivative assets and liabilities with amounts associated with cash margin. Our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through clearing brokerage accounts and are subject to margin requirements as established by the respective exchange. On a daily basis, our account equity (consisting of the sum of our cash balance and the fair value of our open derivatives) is compared to our initial margin requirement resulting in the payment or return of variation margin. The following table provides the components of our net broker receivable/(payable) (in millions):
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Initial margin | $ 37 | $ 46 |
| Variation margin posted | 65 | 52 |
| Letters of credit | (29) | (30) |
| Net broker receivable | $ 73 | $ 68 |
The following table reflects the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets line items that include the fair values of our commodity derivative assets and liabilities and the effect of the collateral netting. Such amounts are presented on a gross basis, before the effects of counterparty netting. However, we have elected to present our commodity derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a net basis on our Condensed Combined Balance Sheets when the legal right of offset exists. Amounts in the table below are presented in millions.

- Level 1: Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy includes exchange-traded commodity derivatives and over-the-counter commodity contracts such as futures and swaps. The fair value of exchange-traded commodity derivatives and over-the-counter commodity contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets.
- Level 2: Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy includes exchange-cleared commodity derivatives and over-the-counter commodity derivatives that are traded in observable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. In addition, it includes certain physical commodity contracts. The fair values of these derivatives are corroborated with market observable inputs.

Note 9 Concentration of Customers and Credit Risk
One customer, which is a related party, accounted for 10% and 18% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.
Note 10 Income Taxes
For the purposes of our condensed combined financial statements, income tax expense (benefit) has been computed on a separate company basis as if the NGL business filed tax returns on a standalone basis in Canada and the United States. The income tax provision for interim periods is computed using an annualized effective tax rate approach, including the impact of discrete items, if any. The income tax results of the NGL business, as presented in these condensed combined financial statements, may not be reflective of the results the NGL business would generate in the future or be representative of our expected future tax rate.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $37 million. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1 million. The effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 24% and 25%, respectively. The decrease in our effective rate is primarily due to a nonrecurring increase in the Company's Canadian tax rate that occurred in 2024.
As of March 31, 2025 in reference to tax years 2012 to 2019, we had received notices of reassessment ("notices") from the Canada Revenue Agency and the Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration (the "Canadian Tax Authorities") related primarily to transfer pricing associated with cross border intercompany financing transactions. These notices include assessments, including penalties and interest, associated with these transfer pricing matters totaling approximately $178 million (based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2025). Payment of a portion of the assessment is required in order to file a notice of objection to dispute the reassessment. Accordingly, we have remitted approximately $88 million (based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2025) related to the assessments, which is included in "Other assets, net," on our Condensed Combined Balance Sheets. We disagree with these notices and have contested the reassessments. We intend to vigorously defend our position, and we plan to pursue all remedies available to us to successfully resolve these matters, including administrative remedies with the Canadian Tax Authorities, and judicial remedies, if necessary. As of March 31, 2025 we believe that our tax position associated with these matters is "more likely than not" to be sustained and have not recognized any amounts for uncertainty in income taxes related to these notices.
F-1-1-17
F-1-1-18
Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments: Our commitments primarily consist of leases, as discussed in Note 8.
Contingencies: We are subject to numerous federal, state, provincial and local laws which regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. We may be involved in regulatory disputes, litigation, and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. However, we are not currently a party to any legal or regulatory proceedings, the resolution of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, Condensed Combined Balance Sheets, or Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
We record environmental liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Generally, our recording of these accruals coincides with our completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. We do not discount our environmental remediation liabilities to present value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have $15 million and $16 million reserved for environmental liabilities, respectively.
In some cases, the actual cash expenditures associated with these liabilities may not occur for several years. Our estimates used in determining these reserves are based on information currently available to us and our assessment of the ultimate outcome. Among the many uncertainties that impact our estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modification of, our remediation plans, the limited amount of data available upon initial assessment of the impact of soil or water contamination, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment and the possibility of existing or future legal claims giving rise to additional liabilities. Therefore, although we believe that our reserves are adequate, actual costs incurred (which may ultimately include costs for contingencies that are currently not reasonably estimable or costs for contingencies where the likelihood of loss is currently believed to be only reasonably possible or remote) may be in excess of such reserves and may potentially have a material adverse effect on our Condensed Combined Balance Sheets, Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income or Condensed Combined Statements of Cash Flows.
Note 12 Relationship with Plains All American and Related Entities
Historically, the NGL business has operated as part of PAA and not as a standalone business. Accordingly, certain shared costs have been allocated to the NGL business and reflected as expenses in the Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Cash management and financing: The Parent uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations and historically the NGL business has received funding from PAA for the operating and investing cash needs of the business. Disbursements are made through centralized accounts payable systems, which are operated by the Parent. Cash receipts are transferred to centralized accounts which are also maintained by the Parent. As cash is disbursed and received on behalf of the NGL business, it is accounted for by the NGL business through Net Parent Investment in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets.
Related party transactions with Parent and related entities: During the normal course of business we engage in related party transactions with the Parent and related entities. The NGL business sells butane and condensate to related entities for use in its crude oil operations. In addition, we generate revenue from the Parent and related entities from pipeline tariffs and fees associated with the transportation of NGLs. We also incur costs related to storage and terminalling services provided by Parent. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $63 million and $92 million in revenue, respectively, and we recognized $6 million and $6 million in cost of sales from such transactions recorded in Purchases and related costs on the Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, respectively.
Note 12 Relationship with Plains All American and Related Entities (Continued)
Corporate Allocations: The Parent provides the NGL business with significant corporate, infrastructure, and shared services. Accordingly, certain costs related to these shared services have been charged to the NGL business based on various allocation methodologies. These corporate and shared costs consist principally of:
- Payroll and related costs attributable to employees who provide services to both the NGL business and the Parent.
- Information systems expenses related to systems shared between the NGL business and the Parent.
- Depreciation expense representing the NGL business's usage of shared office furniture and equipment.
While the Parent's third-party debt has not been attributed to the NGL business, the third-party debt supports the operations of the NGL business and thus a portion of interest expense related to this debt is allocated to the NGL business.
Management believes that the shared cost allocations have been determined on a basis that is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the NGL business. The amounts that would have been, or will be incurred, on a stand-alone basis could materially differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees, or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the NGL business operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.
Amounts due to or from Parent and related entities: All intercompany transactions within the NGL business have been eliminated. All significant transactions between the NGL business and Parent are not intended to be settled and are reflected as a component of Net Parent Investment. Accordingly, no related party receivables or payables are presented in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets.
Note 13 Subsequent Events
The Combined Financial Statements of the NGL business have been derived from the financial statements of PAA, which issued its most recent interim financial statements on May 9, 2025. Accordingly, Management has evaluated transactions for disclosure in the annual financial statements through May 9, 2025. Additionally, Management has evaluated subsequent events through June 13, 2025 for disclosure in the Combined Financial Statements of the NGL business and concluded there were no subsequent events that required disclosure other than those provided

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Management of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of the Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. Natural Gas Liquids Business (the "Company"), which comprise the combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in net parent investment and of cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "combined financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Combined Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the combined financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the combined financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material
F-1-2-3
if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the combined financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:
- Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.
- Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Note 1. Formation and Description of Business
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA" or "Parent") is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 1998. PAA's operations are conducted directly and indirectly through its primary operating subsidiaries. PAA is a publicly traded master limited partnership that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and provides logistics services for crude oil and natural gas liquids. PAA owns an extensive network of pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage, and gathering assets in key crude oil and Natural Gas Liquids ("NGL" or the "Company") producing basins and transportation corridors and at major market hubs in the United States and Canada.
PAA received an executed, non-binding, Letter of Intent ("LOI") on March 22, 2025 from a Canadian public company to sell its NGL business (the "NGL business") via a purchase agreement of the equity of Plains Midstream Canada ULC ("PMC ULC"). Management is required to create standalone generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") compliant carve-out financial statements for this transaction, as there were no prior discrete financial statements available.
The proposed sale of the NGL business consists of net assets and operations within three legal entities, Plains Midstream Canada ULC, Plains Midstream Superior LLC, and Plains LPG Services, L.P. Within these legal entities, there are NGL and crude oil operations in Canada and the U.S. The sale will involve the associated assets, liabilities, and revenue streams of Canadian NGL assets, as well as certain U.S. NGL assets.
Note 2 Basis of Combination and Presentation
The NGL business has historically operated as part of PAA and not as a standalone business. The accompanying Combined Financial Statements have been derived from the Parent's historical accounting records and are presented on a "carve-out" basis using a management approach. The Combined Financial Statements presented herewith report the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the NGL's business. As a direct ownership relationship did not exist among all the various legal entities comprising the NGL business, PAA's investment in the NGL business is shown in lieu of stockholder's equity in the Combined Financial Statements.
The Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income include all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Company as well as an allocation of corporate expenses related to functions and services performed by centralized Parent organizations such as operating expenses, maintenance capital, revenue shared costs, depreciation expense, interest expense and interest income. These expenses have been allocated to the NGL business based on direct usage or benefit, where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro-rata basis of revenues, headcount, or other measures as determined appropriate (as discussed further in Note 13). Management believes the assumptions underlying the Combined Financial Statements, including the assumptions regarding allocation of expenses, are reasonable. The financial information in these financial statements does not include all of the expenses that would have been incurred had the NGL business operated as a separate standalone entity or will incur in the future. Actual results and costs that would have been incurred if the NGL business had operated as a standalone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made.
The Combined Statements of Cash Flows present these corporate expenses that are cash in nature as cash flows from operating activities, as this is the nature of these costs at the Parent.
F-1-2-9
Note 2. Basis of Combination and Presentation (Continued)
The Combined Financial Statements include the attribution of certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by shared entities, but which are specifically identifiable to the NGL business. These shared assets and liabilities have been assigned to the Company on the basis of direct usage. The Parent's short and long-term debt has not been pushed down to the NGL business Combined Financial Statements because the NGL business is not the legal obligor of the debt and the Parent's borrowings were not directly attributable to NGL business.
All of the allocations and estimates in the Combined Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, the Combined Financial Statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the NGL business in the future or if the Company had been a separate, standalone entity during the periods presented. A more detailed discussion of the relationship with PAA, including a description of the costs which have been allocated to the NGL business, as well as the method of allocation, is included in Note 13 to the Combined Financial Statements.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
We have prepared our accompanying financial statements in U.S. GAAP.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. We make significant estimates with respect to (i) estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired and identification of associated goodwill and intangible assets; (ii) fair value of derivatives, (iii) impairment assessments of intangible assets; (iv) accruals and contingent liabilities; (v) property and equipment, depreciation and amortization expense, and asset retirement obligations; (vi) impairment assessments of property and equipment; (vii) inventory valuations; and (viii) income taxes. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Purchases and related costs: Purchases and related costs include (i) the weighted average cost of NGL sold to customers; (ii) fees incurred for storage and transportation, whether by truck or rail; and (iii) performance-related bonus costs. These costs are recognized when incurred except in the case of products sold, which are recognized at the time title transfers to our customers. Inventory exchanges under buy/sell transactions are presented net in "Purchases and related costs" in our Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Field operating costs and general and administrative expenses: Field operating costs consist of various field operating expenses, including payroll, compensation, and benefits costs for operations personnel; fuel and power costs (including the impact of gains and losses from derivative related activities); maintenance and integrity management costs; regulatory compliance; environmental remediation; insurance; costs for usage of third-party owned assets; vehicle leases; and property taxes.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll, compensation, and benefits costs; certain information systems and legal costs; office rent; contract and consultant costs; and audit and tax fees.
F-1-2-10
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices (Continued)
The Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income includes corporate expense allocations for field operating costs and general and administrative expenses. Refer to Note 13 for detailed disclosures regarding the methodology of corporate expense allocation.
Foreign currency transactions: One of our legal entities uses the Canadian dollar as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the legal entity with a Canadian dollar functional currency are translated at period-end rates of exchange, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing for each month. The resulting translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of other comprehensive income, which is reflected in Net Parent Investment on our Combined Balance Sheets.
Certain of our legal entities also enter into transactions and have monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the entities' respective functional currencies. Gains and losses from the revaluation of foreign currency transactions and monetary assets and liabilities are generally included in the Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. However, gains and losses arising from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the revaluation of foreign currency transactions and monetary assets and liabilities resulted in the recognition of a net gain of $5 million and a net loss of $5 million respectively, in our Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of all unrestricted demand deposits and funds invested in highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less and typically exceed federally insured limits. We periodically assess the financial condition of the institutions where these funds are held and believe that our credit risk is minimal.
In accordance with our policy, unless they may be covered by funds on deposit, outstanding checks are classified as trade accounts payable rather than negative cash.
Asset retirement obligations: FASB guidance establishes accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, including estimates related to (i) the timing of the liability recognition, (ii) initial measurement of the liability, (iii) allocation of asset retirement cost to expense, (iv) subsequent measurement of the liability, and (v) financial statement disclosures. The FASB guidance requires that the cost for asset retirement should be capitalized as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method.
Some of our assets have contractual or regulatory obligations to perform remediation when the assets are abandoned. These assets, with regular maintenance, will continue to be in service for many years to come. It is not possible to predict when demand for our services will cease, and we do not believe that such demand will cease for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we believe the date when these assets will be abandoned is indeterminate. With no reasonably determinable abandonment date, we cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated asset retirement obligations. We will record asset retirement obligations in the period in which sufficient information becomes available for us to reasonably determine the settlement dates.
F-1-2-11
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices (Continued)
Fair value measurements: Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which affects the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels. The determination of the fair values includes not only the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements (such as cash deposits and letters of credit) but also the impact of our nonperformance risk on our liabilities. The fair value of our commodity derivatives includes adjustments for credit risk. Our credit adjustment methodology uses market observable inputs and requires judgment. There were no changes to any of our valuation techniques during the period.
Other assets, net: Other assets, net include long-term prepayment and deposits related to transfer pricing arrangements for cross-border intercompany transactions (Refer to Note 11), reclamation environmental trust funds, goodwill, and intangible assets.
Intangible assets that have finite lives are tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We did not recognize any impairments of finite-lived intangible assets during the two years ended December 31, 2024.
Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $4 million and $17 million, respectively. All of our intangible assets have now been fully amortized and, as such, there was no remaining intangible asset balance at December 31, 2024.
Divestitures: In February 2023, PAA sold its 21% non-operated/undivided joint interest in the Keyera Fort Saskatchewan facility to Keyera Corporation. This facility was historically included with our NGL business. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a gain of approximately $140 million, which is included in "Gain on asset transaction" on our Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Other significant accounting policies: See the respective footnotes for our accounting policies regarding (i) revenues and accounts receivable, (ii) inventory, (iii) property and equipment, (iv) derivatives and risk management activities, (v) leases, and (vi) legal and environmental matters.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements: As of December 31, 2024, there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company's Combined Financial Statements.
Note 4. Revenues and Accounts Receivable
We disaggregate our revenues by type of activity. These categories depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Note 4. Revenues and Accounts Receivable (continued)
Revenues from contracts with customers: The following tables present our revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of activity (in millions):
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Sales | $ 1,761 | $ 1,729 |
| Transportation | 35 | 30 |

| Total Revenue from contracts with customers | 1,865 | 1,846 |
| Other Items in Revenues | (145) | 85 |
| Total Revenue | $ 1,720 | $ 1,931 |
Sales Revenues: Revenues from sales of NGL are recognized at the time title of the product sold transfers to the purchaser, which occurs upon delivery of the product to the purchaser or its designee. The consideration received under these contracts is variable based on commodity prices. Inventory exchanges under buy/sell transactions are excluded from sales revenues in our Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Transportation Revenues: Transportation revenues include revenues from transporting NGL on pipelines. Revenues from pipeline tariffs and fees are associated with the transportation of NGL at contract rates. We primarily recognize pipeline tariff and fee revenues over time as services are rendered, based on the volumes transported.
Terminalling, Storage and Other Revenues: Revenues in this category include (i) fees that are generated when we receive liquids from one connecting source and deliver the applicable product to another connecting carrier, (ii) fees from storage capacity agreements, (iii) fees from loading and unloading services at our terminals, and (iv) fees from natural gas processing services and from NGL fractionation. We generate revenue through a combination of month-to-month and multi-year agreements and processing arrangements. Storage fees are typically recognized in revenue ratably over the term of the contract regardless of the actual storage capacity utilized as our performance obligation is to make storage capacity available for a period of time. Terminal fees (including throughput and loading/unloading fees) are recognized as the liquids enter or exit the terminal and are received from or delivered to the connecting carrier or third-party terminal, as applicable. We recognize loading and unloading fees when the volumes are delivered or received. Fees from NGL fractionation and gas processing services are recognized in the period when the services are performed.
Other items in revenues: Revenues in this category include contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 842, Leases, contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and physical gains/losses on our assets not tied to a specific customer contract.
Note 4. Revenues and Accounts Receivable (continued)
Contract balances: Our contract balances consist of amounts received associated with services or sales for which we have not yet completed the related performance obligation. The following table presents the changes in the liability balance associated with contracts with customers (in millions):
| Contract Liabilities | |
|---|---|
| Balance, December 31, 2022 | $ 132 |
| Amounts recognized as revenue during the period | (10) |
| Additions during the period | 2 |

| Amounts recognized as revenue during the period | (3) |
| Additions during the period | 9 |
| Other | (12) |
| Balance, December 31, 2024 | $ 121 |
Remaining performance obligations: The information below includes the amount of consideration allocated to partially and wholly unsatisfied remaining performance obligations under contracts that existed as of the end of the periods and the timing of revenue recognition of those remaining performance obligations. Certain contracts meet the requirements for the presentation as remaining performance obligations. These contracts include a fixed minimum level of service, typically a set volume of service, and do not contain any variability other than expected timing within a limited range. The following table presents the amount of consideration associated with remaining performance obligations for the population of contracts with external customers meeting the presentation requirements as of December 31, 2024 (in millions):
| 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | Thereafter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pipeline revenues supported by minimum volume commitments | $ 7 | $ 7 | $ 8 | $ 9 | $ 9 | $ 82 |
| Long-term storage, terminalling and throughput agreements revenues | 34 | 28 | 26 | 23 | 22 | 373 |
| Total | $ 41 | $ 35 | $ 34 | $ 32 | $ 31 | $ 455 |
The presentation above does not include the amount of consideration associated with certain income generating contracts, which include a fixed minimum level of service, that are either not within the scope of ASC 606 or do not meet the requirements for presentation as remaining performance obligations. The following are examples of contracts that are not included in the table above because they are not within the scope of ASC 606 or do not meet the requirements for presentation:
- Buy/sell arrangements with future committed volumes;
- Short-term contracts and those with variable consideration due to the election of practical expedients, as discussed below;
- Contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 842, Leases; and
- Contracts within the scope of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
F-1-2-14
F-1-2-15
Note 4. Revenues and Accounts Receivable (continued)
We have elected practical expedients to exclude the presentation of remaining performance obligations for variable consideration which relates to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. Certain contracts do not meet the requirements for presentation of remaining performance obligations due to variability in amount of performance obligation remaining, variability in the timing of recognition or variability in consideration. Long-term merchant arrangements contain variable timing, volumes, and/or consideration and are excluded from this presentation. The duration of these contracts varies across the periods presented above.
Additionally, we have elected practical expedients to exclude contracts with terms of one year or less, and therefore, exclude the presentation of remaining performance obligations for short-term transportation; storage and processing services; merchant arrangements, including the non-cancelable period of evergreen arrangements; and any other types of arrangements with terms of one year or less.
Trade accounts receivable and other receivables, net: Our accounts receivable are primarily from purchasers of NGL. These purchasers include, but are not limited to, refiners, producers, marketing and trading companies, and financial institutions.
To mitigate credit risk related to our accounts receivable, we utilize a rigorous credit review process. We closely monitor market conditions and perform credit reviews of each customer to make a determination with respect to the amount, if any, of open credit to be extended to any given customer and the form and amount of financial performance assurances we require. Such financial assurances are commonly provided to us in the form of advance cash payments, standby letters of credit, credit insurance, or parental guarantees. Additionally, in an effort to mitigate credit risk, a significant portion of our transactions with counterparties are settled on a net-cash basis. For certain net-cash arrangements, we also enter into netting agreements (contractual agreements that allow us to offset receivables and payables with those counterparties against each other on our balance sheet).
We generally invoice customers within 30 days of when the products or services were provided and generally require payment within 30 days of the invoice date. We review all outstanding accounts receivable balances on a monthly basis and record our receivables net of expected credit losses. We do not write-off accounts receivable balances until we have exhausted substantially all collection efforts. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, substantially all of our trade accounts receivable were less than 30 days past their invoice date. Our expected credit losses are immaterial. Although we consider our credit procedures to be adequate to mitigate any significant credit losses, the actual amount of current and future credit losses could vary significantly from estimated amounts.
The following is a reconciliation of trade accounts receivable from revenues from contracts with customers to total trade accounts receivable and other receivables, net as presented on our Combined Balance Sheets (in millions):
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Trade accounts receivable arising from revenues from contracts with customers | $ 199 | $ 181 |
| Other trade accounts receivables and other receivables | 73 | 75 |
| Impact due to contractual rights of offset with counterparties | (19) | (44) |
| Trade Accounts Receivable and other receivables, net | $ 253 | $ 212 |
Note. 5 Inventory, Linefill and Long-term Inventory
Inventory, including long-term inventory, primarily consists of NGL in pipelines, storage facilities and railcars that are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using an average cost method within specific inventory pools. At the end of each reporting period, we assess the carrying value of our inventory and make any adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying value to the applicable net realizable value. Any resulting adjustments are a component of “Purchases and related costs” on our accompanying Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. No adjustments were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.
Linefill in assets we own is recorded at historical cost. We classify as linefill (i) our proportionate share of barrels used to fill a pipeline that we own such that when an incremental barrel is pumped into or enters a pipeline it forces product out at another location and (ii) barrels that represent the minimum working requirements in tanks and caverns that we own. Linefill carrying amounts are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB guidance with respect to accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Carrying amounts that are not expected to be recoverable through future cash flows are written down to estimated fair value. See Note 6 for further discussion regarding impairment of long-lived assets. During 2024 and 2023, we did not recognize any material impairments of linefill.
Minimum working inventory requirements in third-party assets and other working inventory in our assets that are needed for our commercial operations are included within specific inventory pools in inventory (a current asset) in determining the average cost of operating inventory. At the end of each period, we reclassify the inventory not expected to be liquidated within the succeeding twelve months out of “Inventory,” at the average cost of the applicable inventory pools, and into “Long-term inventory,” which is reflected as a separate line item on our Combined Balance Sheets.
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volumes | Unit of Measure | Carrying Value | Price/ Unit(1) | Volumes | Unit of Measure | Carrying Value | Price/ Unit(1) | |
| Inventory | 7,575 | Barrels | $ 204 | $ 26.99 | 6,405 | Barrels | $ 190 | $ 29.64 |
| Linefill | 2,317 | Barrels | 65 | $ 28.00 | 2,233 | Barrels | 71 | $ 32.00 |
| Long-term inventory | 1,366 | Barrels | 42 | $ 31.08 | 1,326 | Barrels | 33 | $ 25.00 |
| Total | $ 311 | $ 294 |
(1) Price per unit of measure is comprised of a weighted average associated with various grades, qualities, and locations. Accordingly, these prices may not coincide with any published benchmarks for products.
Note 6. Property and Equipment
In accordance with our capitalization policy, expenditures made to expand the existing operating and/or earnings capacity of our assets are capitalized. Costs to obtain pipeline access (“Rights of way”) are capitalized and are included with Property and equipment on our balance sheet. We also capitalize certain costs directly related to the construction of such assets, including related internal labor costs, engineering costs and interest costs. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, capitalized interest recorded to property and equipment was $5 million and $2 million, respectively. We also capitalize expenditures for the replacement and/or refurbishment of partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the operating and/or earnings capacity of our existing assets. Repair and maintenance expenditures incurred in order to maintain the day to day operation of our existing assets are expensed as incurred.
F-1-2-16
Note 6. Property and Equipment (Continued)
Property and equipment, net is stated at cost and consists of the following (in millions):
| Estimated Useful Lives (Years) | December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | ||
| Storage, terminal, fractionation and processing facilities | 10 - 50 | $ 1,999 | $ 2,083 |
| Pipeline systems | 10 - 50 | 523 | 541 |
| Construction in progress | N/A | 149 | 88 |
| Land and other (1) | 10 - 15 | 112 | 121 |
| Property and equipment, gross | 2,783 | 2,833 | |
| Accumulated depreciation | (798) | (749) | |
| Property and equipment, net | $ 1,985 | $ 2,084 |
(1) The useful lives disclosed apply to all assets in this category, excluding land. Land is considered to have an indefinite useful life and is therefore not depreciated.
We calculate our depreciation on finite-lived Property and Equipment using the straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives and salvage values of our assets.
Depreciation expense for Property and Equipment recorded in Depreciation and Amortization in the Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income amounted to $118 million and $121 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Subsequent events could cause us to change estimates, thus impacting the future calculation of depreciation.
Allocated depreciation expense from Parent of $3 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is included in General and administrative expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 13, Relationship with Plains All American and Related Entities for detailed disclosures regarding the methodology of corporate expense allocation.
Land improvements are not depreciated, and any construction in progress is not subject to depreciation until the asset is put into use.
Impairment of long-lived assets (held and used): Long-lived assets with recorded values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows are written down to estimated fair value in accordance with FASB guidance with respect to the accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Under this guidance, a long-lived asset is tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset is recognized. We periodically evaluate property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is highly dependent on the underlying assumptions of related cash flows. The subjective assumptions used to determine the existence of an impairment in carrying value include:
- whether there is an indication of impairment;
- the grouping of assets;
- the intention of "holding," "abandoning" or "selling" an asset;
- the forecast of undiscounted expected future cash flow over the asset's estimated useful life; and
- if an impairment exists, the fair value of the asset or asset group.

Note 6. Property and Equipment (Continued)
In addition, when we evaluate property and equipment and other long-lived assets for recoverability, it may also be necessary to review related depreciation estimates and methods.
We did not recognize any impairments associated with long lived assets.
Note 7. Derivatives
We identify the risks that underlie our core business activities and use risk management strategies to mitigate those risks when we determine that there is value in doing so. We use various derivative instruments to optimize our profits while managing our exposure to commodity price risk. Our commodity price risk management policies and procedures are designed to help ensure that our hedging activities address our risks by monitoring our derivative positions, as well as physical volumes, grades, locations, delivery schedules and storage capacity. Our policy is to use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and not for the purpose of speculating on changes in commodity prices.
We record all open derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings. Derivatives that are not designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes are recognized in earnings each period. Cash settlements associated with our derivative activities are classified within the same category as the related hedged item in our Combined Statements of Cash Flows.
Our financial derivatives, used for hedging risk, are governed through International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements and clearing brokerage agreements. These agreements include stipulations regarding the right of set off in the event that we or our counterparty default on performance obligations. If a default were to occur, both parties have the right to net amounts payable and receivable into a single net settlement between parties.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, none of our outstanding derivatives contained credit-risk related contingent features that would result in a material adverse impact to us upon any change in our credit ratings. Although we may be required to post margin on our exchange-traded derivatives transacted through a clearing brokerage account, as described below, we do not require our non-cleared derivative counterparties to post collateral with us.
Commodity price risk hedging: Our core business activities involve certain commodity price-related risks that we manage in various ways, including through the use of derivative instruments. Our policy is to (i) only purchase inventory for which we have a sales market, (ii) structure our sales contracts so that price fluctuations do not materially affect our operating income and (iii) not acquire and hold material physical inventory or derivatives for the purpose of speculating on commodity price changes. The material commodity-related risks inherent in our business activities are described below.
In the normal course of our operations, we purchase and sell commodities. We use derivatives to manage the associated risks and to optimize profits. As of December 31, 2024, net derivative positions related to these activities included:
- A net short position of 9.2 million barrels through December 2026 related to anticipated net sales of NGL inventory.
F-1-2-18
Note 7. Derivatives (Continued)
We purchase natural gas for processing and operational needs. Additionally, we purchase NGL mix for fractionation and sell the resulting individual specification products (including ethane, propane and butane). In conjunction with these activities, we hedge the price risk associated with the purchase of the natural gas and the subsequent sale of the individual specification products. The following table summarizes our open derivative positions utilized to hedge the price risk associated with anticipated purchases and sales related to our natural gas processing and NGL fractionation activities as of December 31, 2024.
| Notional Volume (Short)/Long | Remaining Tenor | |
|---|---|---|
| Natural gas purchases | 49.3 Bcf | June 2026 |
| Propane sales | (8.8) MMbls | June 2026 |
| Butane sales | (1.3) MMbls | December 2025 |
| Condensate sales | (2.3) MMbls | December 2025 |
| Fuel gas requirements (1) | 2.7 Bcf | December 2025 |
| Power supply requirements (1) | 2.1 TWh | December 2030 |
(1) Positions to hedge a portion of our power supply and fuel gas requirements at our Canadian natural gas processing and fractionation plants.
Physical commodity contracts that meet the definition of a derivative but are ineligible, or not designated, for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. We have determined that substantially all of our physical commodity contracts qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception.
Our commodity derivatives are not designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes; as such, changes in fair value are reported in earnings. The following table summarizes the impact of our commodity derivatives recognized in earnings (in millions):
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Product sales revenues | $ (199) | $ 30 |
| Field operating costs | 28 | 44 |
| Net loss from commodity derivative activity | $ (227) | $ (14) |
Our accounting policy is to offset derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty when a master netting arrangement exists. Accordingly, we also offset derivative assets and liabilities with amounts associated with cash margin. Our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through clearing brokerage accounts and are subject to margin requirements as established by the respective exchange. On a daily basis, our account equity (consisting of the sum of our cash balance and the fair value of our open derivatives) is compared to our initial margin requirement resulting in the payment or return of variation margin. The following table provides the components of our net broker receivable/(payable) (in millions):
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Initial margin | $ 46 | $ 65 |
| Variation margin posted/(returned) | 52 | (70) |

The following table reflects the Combined Balance Sheets line items that include the fair values of our commodity derivative assets and liabilities and the effect of the collateral netting. Such amounts are presented on a gross basis, before the effects of counterparty netting. However, we have elected to present our commodity derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a net basis on our Combined Balance Sheets when the legal right of offset exists. Amounts in the table below are presented in millions.

Recurring fair value measurements
Derivative financial assets and liabilities: The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):
| Recurring Fair Value Measures (1) | Fair Value as of December 31, 2024 | Fair Value as of December 31, 2023 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Total | |
| Commodity derivatives | $ 4 | $ (90) | $ (86) | $ 23 | $ (8) | $ 15 |
(1) Derivative assets and liabilities are presented above on a net basis but do not include related cash margin deposits
- Level 1: Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy includes exchange-traded commodity derivatives and over-the-counter commodity contracts such as futures and swaps. The fair value of exchange-traded commodity derivatives and over-the-counter commodity contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets.
- Level 2: Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy includes exchange-cleared commodity derivatives and over-the-counter commodity derivatives that are traded in observable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. In addition, it includes certain physical commodity contracts. The fair values of these derivatives are corroborated with market observable inputs.

Note 8. Leases
Lessee: We evaluate all agreements entered into or modified that convey to us the use of property or equipment for a term to determine whether the agreement is or contains a lease. Significant judgment is required when determining whether we obtain the right to direct the use of identified property or equipment. We lease certain property and equipment under noncancelable and cancelable operating and finance leases. Our operating leases primarily relate to railcars and land, and our finance leases relate to land. For leases with an initial term of greater than 12 months, we recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We have elected the non-lease component separation practical expedient for certain classes of assets where we are the lessee. Our lease agreements have remaining lease terms ranging from one year to approximately 38 years. When applicable, this range includes additional terms associated with leases for which we are reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew and such renewal options are recognized as part of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. We have renewal options for leases with terms ranging from 3 year to 5 years that are not recognized as part of our right-of-use assets or lease liabilities as we have determined we are not reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew.
Certain of our leases have variable lease payments, many of which are based on changes in market indices such as the Consumer Price Index. Our lease agreements do not contain any material restrictive covenants.
For determining the present value of lease payments, we use the discount rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable; however, such rate is not readily determinable for most of our leases. For those leases for which the discount rate is not readily determinable, we utilize incremental borrowing rates that reflect collateralized borrowing with payments and terms that mirror our lease portfolio to discount the lease payments based on information available at the lease commencement date.
The following table presents components of lease cost, including both amounts recognized in income and amounts capitalized (in millions):
| Lease Cost | Year Ended December 31, | |

Note 8. Leases (Continued)
Lessor: We evaluate all agreements entered into or modified that convey to others the use of property or equipment for a term to determine whether the agreement is or contains a lease. Significant judgment is required when determining whether a customer obtains the right to direct the use of identified property or equipment. The underlying assets associated with these agreements are evaluated for future use beyond the lease term. We have elected the non-lease component separation practical expedient for all classes of assets where we are the lessor.
We enter into agreements to conduct activities associated with providing storage services primarily for NGL. Certain of these agreements convey counterparties the right to direct the operation of physically distinct assets. Such agreements include (i) fixed consideration, which is measured based on an available capacity during the period multiplied by the rate in the agreement, or (ii) a fixed monthly fee and variable consideration based on usage. These agreements often include options to extend or terminate the lease, with advance notice. These agreements are operating leases.
The following table presents our lease revenue for the periods indicated (in millions):
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Operating lease revenue | $ 18 | $ 19 |
The table below presents the maturity of lease payments for operating lease agreements in effect as of December 31, 2024. This presentation includes minimum fixed lease payments and does not include an estimate of variable lease consideration. These agreements have remaining lease terms ranging from one year to 17 years. The following table presents the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received related to these agreements (in millions):
| 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | Thereafter | |

Note 9. Concentration of Customers and Credit Risk
One customer, which is a related party, accounted for 21% and 19% of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of our revenues during the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties related to transportation services. This concentration has the potential to impact our overall exposure to credit risk in that the customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions.
Note 10. Employee Benefit Plans
Historically employees who meet certain eligibility requirements have participated in defined contribution plans and additional Long Term Incentive Plans ("LTIP") sponsored by PAA. These defined contribution plans and LTIP's include employees from a number of domestic and Canadian PAA business units. All obligations pursuant to these plans have historically been obligations of PAA and as such, are not included on the Company's Combined Balance Sheets. A portion of the annual cost of the PAA defined contribution plans and LTIP is allocated to the NGL business. Refer to Note 13 for the determination of the allocation included within the Combined Financial Statements.
Note 11. Income Taxes
The income tax provision of the NGL business was prepared using a separate return method, which requires that entities to compute their tax provisions as if they were separate standalone taxpayers. Under this method, each entity's current and deferred income taxes are determined as if it filed its own separate tax return in the jurisdiction in which it operates, notwithstanding the fact that these entities filed income tax returns on a different basis with the Parent and its affiliates. The income tax results of the NGL business, as presented in these combined financial statements, may not be reflective of the results the NGL business would generate in the future or be representative of our expected future tax rate.
Current income taxes are based on taxable income or loss for the period and reflect amounts expected to be payable under applicable tax laws. Income taxes currently payable will be deemed to have been remitted to the Parent in the period the liability arose, resulting in the adjusted payable / receivable being settled through Net Parent Investment on the Combined Balance Sheets.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted rates expected to apply in the periods in which the deferred tax balances are realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
A benefit from a tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.
The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Current tax expense: | ||
| US federal | $ - | $ 1 |
| Canadian federal and provincial | 90 | 77 |
| Total current tax expense | $ 90 | $ 78 |
| Deferred tax benefit: | ||
| US federal | $ - | $ - |

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the NGL business had U.S. federal net operating losses of $7 million and $5 million, respectively, which do not expire and can be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the NGL business also had U.S. state net operating losses of $7 million and $5 million, respectively, which expire between 2033 and 2043. Management evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets and concluded that no valuation allowance is necessary. Loss carryforwards generated within the carve-out financial statements may not be indicative of actual carryforwards available on a post-transaction basis.
The NGL business would be subject to OECD Pillar 2 legislation enacted in Canada during 2024 based on the structure of the entities included in the combined financial statements. Management assessed the potential impact of Pillar 2, concluding that no material adjustments to income tax expense are necessary given the results computed under the carve-out's separate return methodology.
F-1-2-25
Note 11. Income Taxes (Continued)
As described in the Notes to Combined Financial Statements, the effect of Pillar 2 on the NGL business as recorded in these financials may not be representative of the expected future state.
As of December 31, 2024, in reference to tax years 2012 to 2019, we had received notices of reassessment ("notices") from the Canada Revenue Agency and the Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration (the "Canadian Tax Authorities") related primarily to transfer pricing associated with cross border intercompany financing transactions. These notices include assessments, including penalties and interest, associated with these transfer pricing matters totaling approximately $177 million (based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2024). Payment of a portion of the assessment is required in order to file a notice of objection to dispute the reassessment. Accordingly, we have remitted approximately $97 million (based on the exchange rate as of December 31, 2024) related to the assessments, which is included in "Other assets, net," on our Combined Balance Sheets. We disagree with these notices and have contested the reassessments. We intend to vigorously defend our position, and we plan to pursue all remedies available to us to successfully resolve these matters, including administrative remedies with the Canadian Tax Authorities, and judicial remedies, if necessary. As of December 31, 2024, we believe that our tax position associated with these matters is "more likely than not" to be sustained and have not recognized any amounts for uncertainty in income taxes related to these notices.
Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments: Our commitments primarily consist of leases, as discussed in Note 8.
Contingencies: We are subject to numerous federal, state, provincial, and local laws which regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. We may be involved in regulatory disputes, litigation, and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. However, we are not currently a party to any legal or regulatory proceedings, the resolution of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, Combined Balance Sheets, or Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
We record environmental liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Generally, our recording of these accruals coincides with our completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. We do not discount our environmental remediation liabilities to present value. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have $16 million and $15 million reserved for environmental liabilities, respectively.
In some cases, the actual cash expenditures associated with these liabilities may not occur for several years. Our estimates used in determining these reserves are based on information currently available to us and our assessment of the ultimate outcome. Among the many uncertainties that impact our estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modification of, our remediation plans, the limited amount of data available upon initial assessment of the impact of soil or water contamination, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment and the possibility of existing or future legal claims giving rise to additional liabilities. Therefore, although we believe that our reserves are adequate, actual costs incurred (which may ultimately include costs for contingencies that are currently not reasonably estimable or costs for contingencies where the likelihood of loss is currently believed to be only reasonably possible or remote) may be in excess of such reserves and may potentially have a material adverse effect on our Combined Balance Sheets, Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income or Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 13. Relationship with Plains All American and Related Entities
Historically, the NGL business has operated as part of PAA and not as a standalone business. Accordingly, certain shared costs have been allocated to the NGL business and reflected as expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Cash management and financing: The Parent uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations and historically the NGL business has received funding from PAA for the operating and investing cash needs of the business. Disbursements are made through centralized accounts payable systems, which are operated by the Parent. Cash receipts are transferred to centralized accounts which are also maintained by the Parent. As cash is disbursed and received on behalf of the NGL business, it is accounted for by the NGL business through Net Parent Investment in the Combined Balance Sheets.
Related party transactions with Parent and related entities: During the normal course of the NGL business, we engage in related party transactions with the Parent and related entities. The NGL business sells butane and condensate to related entities for use in its crude oil operations. In addition, we generate revenue from the Parent and related entities from pipeline tariffs and fees associated with the transportation of NGLs. We also incur costs related to storage and terminalling services provided by Parent. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $354 million and $375 million in revenue, respectively, and we recognized $31 million and $34 million in cost of sales from such transactions recorded in Purchases and related costs on the Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, respectively.
Corporate Allocations: The Parent provides the NGL business with significant corporate, infrastructure, and shared services. Accordingly, certain costs related to these shared services have been charged to the NGL business based on various allocation methodologies. These corporate and shared costs consist principally of:
- Payroll and related costs attributable to employees who provide services to both the NGL business and the Parent.
- Information systems expenses related to systems shared between the NGL business and the Parent.
- Depreciation expense representing the NGL business's usage of shared office furniture and equipment.
While the Parent's third-party debt has not been attributed to the NGL business, the third-party debt supports the operations of the NGL business and thus a portion of interest expense related to this debt is allocated to the NGL business.
Management believes that the shared cost allocations have been determined on a basis that is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the NGL business. The amounts that would have been, or will be incurred, on a stand-alone basis could materially differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees, or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the NGL business operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.

Note 13. Relationship with Plains All American and Related Entities (Continued)
Amounts due to or from Parent and related entities: All intercompany transactions within the NGL business have been eliminated. All significant transactions between the NGL business and Parent are not intended to be settled and are reflected as a component of Net Parent Investment. Accordingly, no related party receivables or payables are presented in the Combined Balance Sheets.
Note 14. Subsequent Events
The Combined Financial Statements of the NGL business have been derived from the financial statements of PAA, which issued its most recent annual financial statements on February 28, 2025. Accordingly, Management has evaluated transactions for disclosure in the annual financial statements through February 28, 2025. Additionally, Management has evaluated subsequent events through June 13, 2025 for disclosure in the Combined Financial Statements of the NGL business and concluded there were no subsequent events that required disclosure other than those provided.

Keyera Corp.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025
and for the year ended December 31, 2024
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") have been prepared to give effect to the proposed transaction between Keyera Corp. ("Keyera"), and Plains All American Pipeline L.P. ("PAA"), a Delaware limited partnership formed in 1998. On June 17, 2025, Keyera and Plains Midstream Luxembourg S.A.R.L. entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") whereby Keyera will acquire substantially all of Plains Midstream Canada ULC's ("PMC") Canadian natural gas liquids ("NGL") business plus select U.S. assets, collectively referred to as the "NGL Business", through the purchase of equity of PMC for total cash consideration of $5.15 billion, subject to adjustments (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is described in the prospectus supplement of Keyera dated June [●], 2025 to the short form base shelf prospectus dated December 12, 2023 (collectively, the "Prospectus"). Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among other things, receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
These Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using the historical and carve-out values recorded in certain financial statements of Keyera and the NGL Business of PMC, respectively, which have been described in more detail in the notes to the accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements. Presentation and pro forma adjustments have been applied to the historical carve-out balances included in the unaudited condensed combined and audited combined financial statements of the NGL Business of PMC as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, to arrive at the values recorded in the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

Keyera Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024
(Thousands of Canadian dollars, except as otherwise noted)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") have been prepared to give effect to the proposed transaction between Keyera Corp. ("Keyera"), and Plains All American Pipeline L.P. ("PAA"), a Delaware limited partnership formed in 1998. On June 17, 2025, Keyera and Plains Midstream Luxembourg S.A.R.L. entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") whereby Keyera will acquire substantially all of Plains Midstream Canada ULC's ("PMC") Canadian natural gas liquids ("NGL") business plus select U.S. assets, collectively referred to as the "NGL Business", through the purchase of equity of PMC for total cash consideration of $5.15 billion, subject to adjustments (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is described in the prospectus supplement of Keyera dated June [●], 2025 to the short form base shelf prospectus dated December 12, 2023 (collectively, the "Prospectus").
The accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared by management of Keyera and are derived from, and should be read in conjunction with:
- the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Keyera as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025;
- the audited consolidated financial statements of Keyera for the year ended December 31, 2024;
- the unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the NGL Business of PMC as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (the "Q1 Combined Financial Statements"), which have been prepared on a carve-out basis; and
- the audited combined financial statements of the NGL Business of PMC as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (together with the Q1 Combined Financial Statements, the "Combined Financial Statements"), which have been prepared on a carve-out basis.
The historical unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Keyera as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the historical audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, were prepared in all material respects in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The historical Combined Financial Statements of the NGL Business of PMC as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in all material respects using the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS Accounting Standards on a basis that is consistent with the accounting policies that are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of Keyera for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For purposes of preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements, Keyera has made certain reclassifications to the Combined Financial Statements of the NGL Business of PMC to conform to the presentation adopted by Keyera under IFRS Accounting Standards (refer to note 3), including material differences between the accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP and IFRS Accounting Standards. In addition, the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Statements requires the assessment of relevant pro forma adjustments, which can be found in note 4.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using the acquisition method under IFRS 3, Business Combinations. Based on the purchase price that is detailed in the Acquisition Agreement, the purchase price is approximately $5.15 billion, subject to adjustments. Details of the preliminary purchase price allocation can be found in note 4.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2025 reflects the Acquisition as if it had closed on March 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of net earnings and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 reflects the Acquisition had it closed on January 1, 2024.
F-1-3-6
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared by Keyera using information that is available as of the date that they were prepared and include assumptions that management believes are reasonable in the preparation of pro forma financial statements. The Pro Forma Financial Statements may not be indicative of: (i) the results that would have been achieved if the transactions reflected therein had been completed on the dates indicated, or (ii) the results which may be obtained in the future. The final purchase price allocation will reflect the fair value, at the purchase date, of consideration transferred and liabilities assumed based on Keyera's review and evaluation of such assets and liabilities following the closing of the Acquisition. As a result, the final purchase price allocation may differ materially from the preliminary purchase reflected herein.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the description of the Acquisition and the financing thereof provided in the Prospectus, the audited and unaudited combined financial statements of PMC, including the notes thereto, included in the Prospectus, and the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Keyera.
Management believes the underlying assumptions for the pro forma adjustments described below provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant financial effects directly attributable to the Acquisition. These pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based on financial information, estimates and assumptions that are currently available. Since Keyera has yet to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition, the values included in the Combined Financial Statements of the NGL Business of PMC have been used as a starting point in determining the preliminary purchase price allocation presented in note 4a below. The actual adjustments to the purchase price allocation will depend on numerous factors, including the net assets of the NGL Business of PMC on the closing date of the Acquisition and additional information that becomes available, including changes to preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, it is expected that the final pro forma adjustments will differ from the preliminary pro forma adjustments noted below, and such differences may be material. Any final adjustments may change the allocation of the purchase price. This could affect the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and could result in a change to the purchase price allocation, including the recognition of goodwill.
As of the current date, Keyera is not aware of any additional reclassifications or adjustments that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma financial information that is not already reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the purchase price is $5.15 billion, subject to adjustments.
The accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements assume that, at closing, the Acquisition will be financed as follows:
- gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion from the distribution of [●] million subscription receipts (excluding the over-allotment option) (refer to note 4b); and
- funding provided under a senior unsecured bridge and term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $3.65 billion (the "Acquisition Credit Facilities"). The Acquisition Credit Facilities, as described in the Prospectus, consist of: (i) a non-revolving syndicated bridge loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 billion; and (ii) a non-revolving syndicated term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.15 billion (refer to note 4c).
Existing cash on hand and other sources available to Keyera, including from the issuance of other securities and from Keyera's unsecured revolving credit facility, may also be used to finance the Acquisition and to pay the Underwriters' Fee (as defined in the Prospectus) of approximately $52.5 million.
The sale of the subscription receipts, the holders of which are entitled to receive common shares upon closing of the Acquisition, is assumed to be completed through a public offering as described in the Prospectus.

Lessee Lease Accounting
i) The operating lease accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP for lessee leases are not applicable under the requirements of IFRS Accounting Standards. Accordingly, the operating lease costs (for the year ended December 31, 2024 – $49 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 – $14 million) recognized on the unaudited condensed combined and audited combined statements of operations and comprehensive income of the NGL Business of PMC, and which have been reclassified to operating expenses, have been removed and replaced with charges to finance costs (for the year ended December 31, 2024 – $9 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 – $2 million) and depreciation and amortization expenses (for the year ended December 31, 2024 – $40 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 – $12 million) in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of net earnings and comprehensive income. The portion allocated to finance costs has been assessed using the weighted-average discount rates for operating leases disclosed in the notes to the Combined Financial Statements, which does not result in a materially different adjustment had Keyera's weighted-average discount rate been used.
4. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND RELATED ASSUMPTIONS
The pro forma adjustments have been prepared by Keyera using information that is available as of the date that the Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared and include assumptions that management believes are reasonable in the preparation of pro forma financial statements.
a) Assumed Financing Structure and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The following is the assumed financing structure for the estimated funding requirements related to the Acquisition for the purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Statements. These estimates have been reflected in the accompanying Pro Forma Financial Statements and are discussed in more detail below.
(Thousands of Canadian dollars)
| Estimated Purchase Price (subject to adjustments) | 5,150,000 |
|---|---|
| Subscription receipts¹ | 1,500,000 |
| Acquisition Credit Facilities² | 3,650,000 |
| Total Assumed Financing Structure | 5,150,000 |
¹ This amount does not include the Underwriters' Fee of approximately $52.5 million, which will be paid with existing cash on hand and other sources available to Keyera, including from Keyera's unsecured revolving credit facility.
² This loan transaction will occur once the Acquisition closes. Borrowings under the Acquisition Credit Facilities will be dependent on the remaining funds required to finance the Acquisition.
In accordance with the acquisition method under IFRS 3, Business Combinations, the purchase price has been allocated to the estimated fair values of PMC's acquired assets and assumed liabilities as at March 31, 2025:
| (Thousands of Canadian dollars) | PMC¹ | Fair Value and Other Adjustments | Notes | Fair Value |

| Estimated purchase price | 5,150,000 |
¹ Represents carve-out values disclosed in the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of the NGL Business of PMC, which have been translated using a CAD/USD foreign exchange rate of 1.43785 as at March 31, 2025. Amounts disclosed include unaudited presentation and GAAP adjustments.
F-1-3-9
Under the acquisition method, the assets acquired (both tangible and intangible) and the assumed liabilities of the acquired entity are predominantly measured at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. These preliminary fair value estimates of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the related assumptions used to calculate fair value, are subject to final review and valuation. Any adjustments arising from final valuation may be materially different from the values shown on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position and may result in an amount recorded for goodwill on the statement of financial position if the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized; however, is assessed for impairment at a minimum, on an annual basis.
The preliminary estimates presented above will be updated after the Acquisition closes and will be based on management's final review and evaluation. Since Keyera has not yet determined the fair value of PMC's acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the NGL Business, the following methodologies and assumptions were utilized in arriving at the preliminary estimate of fair values. Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying values of working capital and other items have been assumed to approximate their fair values.
i) Includes an adjustment for assets acquired or liabilities assumed that were allocated on a comingled basis as part of the carve-out methodologies used to prepare the Combined Financial Statements of the NGL Business of PMC. The adjustment represents an initial estimate of the value that is not applicable to the NGL Business.
ii) Includes an adjustment for prepayments and deposits recognized in the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of the NGL Business of PMC for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as Keyera does not expect to retain these assets upon closing of the Acquisition.
iii) Includes an initial fair value adjustment of approximately $2 billion to reflect the benefits that the property, plant and equipment assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic useful lives. An associated deferred tax liability of $454 million has been recorded in relation to the fair value bump.
iv) Deferred revenue included in the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive income of the NGL Business of PMC for the three months ended March 31, 2025, represents a contract liability from a contract with a customer that will be assumed by Keyera as part of the Acquisition. Accordingly, an adjustment has been made to measure this liability at the anticipated acquisition-date fair value.
v) A revised estimate of the fair value of the NGL Business' decommissioning liability provision using inflation and discount rate assumptions that are consistent with Keyera's assumptions did not result in a material difference to the amount recorded on the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of the NGL Business of PMC as at March 31, 2025. Accordingly, no adjustment has been made to the preliminary purchase price allocation for this difference.
b) Subscription Receipts
Financing the Acquisition includes the completion of a bought deal offering of [●] million subscription receipts resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion. Each subscription receipt is priced at $[●] and will entitle the holder thereof to automatically receive, without payment of additional consideration and without further action, one common share of Keyera. While they remain outstanding, the subscription receipt holders are entitled to receive cash payments ("Dividend Equivalent Payments") per subscription receipt that are equal to an amount equivalent to any common share dividends declared by Keyera. Keyera has assumed that 100% of the subscription receipts will be converted to common shares upon closing of the Acquisition.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. At the assumed transaction dates described in note 1, the subscription receipts are assumed to have been converted to common shares of Keyera with the following adjustments included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements:
- The $1.5 billion of gross proceeds from the sale of the subscription receipts released from escrow have been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2025. Since interest is earned while funds are held in escrow and any Dividend Equivalent Payments earned are paid at the time the common share dividends are paid, the proceeds have been adjusted to reflect the net of the following estimates: (i) $17 million of interest income (net of taxes of $5 million) earned while the funds were held in escrow, less (ii) $[●] million of Dividend Equivalent Payments made prior to the closing of the Acquisition. An offsetting pro forma adjustment has been recorded in retained earnings and share capital, respectively on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2025.
F-1-3-10
Underwriting and other transaction costs are estimated to be approximately $52.5 million. These have been recorded as a deduction from equity with a corresponding deferred income tax asset of $12 million based on Keyera's Canadian statutory income tax rate of approximately 23%.
c) Long-term Debt and Other Borrowings
For the purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Statements, the closing of the Acquisition is assumed to be financed by gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion from the distribution of [●] million subscription receipts (excluding the over-allotment option) and funding provided under the Acquisition Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $3.65 billion.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, incremental finance costs of $168 million have been estimated as the aggregate interest on the Acquisition Credit Facilities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, incremental finance costs of $42 million have been estimated as the aggregate interest on the Acquisition Credit Facilities.
Debt issuance costs for the Acquisition Credit Facilities are expected to be $17 million.
d) Acquisition Costs
A pro forma adjustment has been made to reflect the estimated total acquisition costs of $90 million, which has been included in retained earnings on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, estimated acquisition costs of $90 million have been included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of net earnings and comprehensive income.
e) Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses have been adjusted to reflect the additional depreciation expense on the estimated fair value adjustments allocated to property, plant and equipment per the preliminary purchase price allocation noted in 4(a)(iii) (for the year ended December 31, 2024 – $39 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 – $10 million). In calculating these adjustments, Keyera has assumed estimated useful lives that are consistent with those disclosed in the Q1 Combined Financial Statements of the NGL Business of PMC.
f) Income Taxes
For the purpose of the pro forma adjustments included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements, an effective income tax rate of approximately 23% has been applied.
For the initial fair value adjustment reflected in note 4(a)(iii), a related deferred tax liability of $454 million has been recognized, with a corresponding offset recognized in property, plant and equipment.
g) Net Earnings per Share
Net earnings per share is calculated by dividing the pro forma net earnings applicable to the common shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2025. Keyera assumes that 100% of the subscription receipts will be converted to common shares, excluding the over-allotment option. Accordingly, this calculation reflects the assumed issuance of [●] million common shares on January 1, 2024 to the holders of subscription receipts.
F-1-3-11
h) Elimination of Amounts in the NGL Business of PMC
The following amounts related to the NGL Business of PMC have been eliminated:
- The depreciation expense that PAA has allocated to the NGL Business, which has been reclassified to depreciation and amortization expenses in the Pro Forma Financial Statements (refer to note 3g);
- The interest expense that PAA has allocated to the NGL business relating to PAA's third-party debt, which has been reclassified to finance costs in the Pro Forma Financial Statements (refer to note 3h);
- The net parent investment; and
- The foreign currency translation adjustment and accumulated other comprehensive income balances.

The principal risks, uncertainties, and other factors affecting Keyera and its business are contained in Keyera's 2024 Year-End Report dated February 13, 2025 and in Keyera's Annual Information Form, dated March 5, 2025, each filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and available on the Keyera website at www.keyera.com.
Proposed construction and completion schedules and budgets for capital projects are subject to many variables, including weather; availability of and/or prices of materials and/or labour; customer project schedules and expected in-service dates; contractor productivity; contractor disputes; quality of cost estimating; decision processes and approvals by joint venture partners; changes in project scope at the time of project sanctioning; legislation and regulations and regulatory and other approvals, conditions or delays (including possible intervention by third parties); Keyera's ability to secure adequate land rights and water supply; and macro socio-economic trends. As a result, expected timing, costs and benefits associated with these projects may differ materially from descriptions contained herein. Further, some of the projects discussed herein are subject to securing sufficient producer/customer interest and may not proceed, or proceed as expected, if sufficient commitments are not obtained. Typically, the earlier in the engineering process that projects are sanctioned, the greater the likelihood that the schedule and budget may change.

Forward Looking Information (cont'd)
In addition to factors referenced above, Keyera's expectations with respect to future returns associated with certain growth capital projects not yet sanctioned are based on a number of assumptions, estimates and projections developed based on past experience and anticipated trends, including but not limited to: sanction of such projects; capital cost estimates assuming no material unforeseen costs; timing for completion of growth capital projects; customer performance of contractual obligations; reliability of production profiles; commodity prices, margins and volumes; tax and interest and exchange rates; availability of capital at attractive prices; and no changes in legislative, regulatory or approval requirements, including no delay in securing any outstanding regulatory approvals.
This Presentation includes historical, current and forecast market and industry data that has been obtained from third party or public sources. Although management of Keyera believes such information to be reliable, none of such information has been independently verified by Keyera.
All forward-looking information contained herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Readers are cautioned they should not unduly rely on this forward-looking information and that information contained in such forward-looking information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
This presentation refers to certain financial and other measures that are not determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), such as: adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow (DCF), DCF per share, payout ratio, compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for DCF per share, CAGR for fee-based adjusted EBITDA, and realized margin (including fee-for-service realized margin, which is realized margin for the Gathering and Processing and Liquids Infrastructure segments, and non fee-for-service realized margin, which is realized margin for the Marketing segment). As a result, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other entities. Management believes that these non-GAAP and other financial measures facilitate the understanding of Keyera's results of operations, leverage, liquidity and financial position. These measures do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and therefore, should not be considered in isolation, or used in substitution for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding the composition of these measures, how management utilizes them, and where applicable, a reconciliation of Keyera's historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for the periods ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, or the shelf prospectus supplement which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and Keyera's website at www.keyera.com. Specifically, the sections of the MD&A titled "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures", "Segmented Results of Operations", "EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA", "Dividends: Funds from Operations, Distributable Cash Flow and Payout Ratio", and "Adjusted Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Return on Invested Capital", include information that has been incorporated by reference for these non-GAAP and other financial measures.

Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in one or more accompanying shelf prospectus supplements (each a "Prospectus Supplement").
As of the date hereof, the Corporation has determined that it qualifies as a “well-known seasoned issuer” under the WKSI Blanket Orders (as defined herein). See “Well-Known Seasoned Issuer”.
The specific terms of any offering of Securities will be set forth in a Prospectus Supplement including, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of shares offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution) and any other specific terms; (ii) in the case of Preferred Shares, the designation of the particular class and series, the number of Preferred Shares offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), any voting rights, the dividend rate, the dividend payment dates, the terms for redemption at the option of the Corporation, any conversion or exchange rights and any other specific terms; (iii) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the terms and procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts and any other specific terms; (iv) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation of the Debt Securities, any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities, the currency, the maturity, the offering price (at par, at a discount or at a premium), whether the Debt Securities will bear interest, the interest rate or method of determining the interest rate, any terms of redemption, any conversion or exchange rights and any other specific terms; (v) in the case of Warrants, the designation, the number of Warrants offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution) or the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the exercise price, provisions and procedures related to exercising the Warrants including the dates during which the Warrants may be exercised and the expiry date of the Warrants and the number and other terms of the Equity Securities or Debt Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, circumstances that will result in the adjustment of these terms and any other terms specific to the Warrants being offered; and (vi) in the case of Units, the designation, the number of Units offered, particulars of the securities comprising the Units, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution) and any other terms specific to the Units being offered. Where required by statute, regulation or policy, and where Securities are offered in currencies other than Canadian dollars, appropriate disclosure of foreign exchange rates will be included in the applicable Prospectus Supplement describing the Securities. The Corporation may also include in a Prospectus Supplement specific terms pertaining to the Securities that are not within the variables and parameters set forth in this prospectus.
All shelf information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will (except in respect of any sales pursuant to an “at-the-market distribution” (as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (“NI 44-102”)) be delivered to prospective purchasers together with this prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement will be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of such Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the offering of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.
Securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any related Prospectus Supplement will constitute a public offering of such Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such Securities. The Corporation may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell the Securities directly to one or more purchasers pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions or through agents. This prospectus may qualify an at-the-market distribution, provided that the requirements of Part 9 of NI 44-102 are complied with in connection with the filing of a prospectus supplement for an at-the-market distribution. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Corporation in connection with the offering and sale of such Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the method of distribution, the net proceeds to the Corporation and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents, and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices or non-fixed prices, with such prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of the Securities in a specified market, at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, including an at-the-market distribution, including sales made directly on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") or other existing trading markets for the Securities, and as set out in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement. The prices at which Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities. If Securities are offered on a non-fixed price basis, the underwriters', dealers' or agents' compensation, as applicable, will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the aggregate price paid for such Securities by the purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters, dealers or agents, as applicable, to the Corporation. See "Plan of Distribution".
Except as set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities, in connection with any offering of Securities, other than an at-the-market distribution under this prospectus, and subject to applicable laws, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over allot or effect transactions which are intended to stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of such Securities, or securities of the same class as such Securities, at a level above that which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter of, or dealer involved in, an at-the-market distribution under this prospectus, nor any person or company acting jointly or in concert with any such underwriter or dealer, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities, or securities of the same class as the Securities, distributed under the Prospectus Supplement applicable to the at-the-market distribution, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter or dealer creating an over-allocation position in the Securities. See "Plan of Distribution".
No underwriter, dealer or agent has been involved in the preparation of this prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this prospectus.
Investing in the Securities involves risk. It is important for an investor to consider the particular risk factors that may affect the industry in which it is investing. See "Risk Factors" in this prospectus, the "Risk Factors" section of the AIF (as defined herein), and the "Risk Factors" section of the Annual MD&A (as defined herein), as well as similar sections in any documents incorporated by reference herein that are filed after the date thereof. These sections also describe the Corporation's assessment of those risk factors, as well as the potential consequences to an investor if a risk should occur. Additional risk factors relating to a specific offering of Securities may also be disclosed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Prospective investors should also be aware that the purchase of Securities may have tax consequences that may not be fully described in this prospectus or in any Prospectus Supplement, and should consult with an independent tax advisor.
We have filed an undertaking with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada that we will not distribute under this prospectus specified derivatives or asset-backed securities that, at the time of distribution, are novel without pre-clearing with the applicable securities regulatory authority the disclosure to be contained in the Prospectus Supplement pertaining to the distribution of such Securities.
The issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation are listed on the TSX under the symbol "KEY". On December 11, 2023, the last trading day before the date of this prospectus, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was $33.12.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Shares, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities, Warrants and Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. Any offering of Preferred Shares, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities, Warrants and Units will be an issue of new securities and may not have an established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is currently no market through which the Preferred Shares, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities, Warrants or Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".
Thomas O'Connor and Gianna Manes, directors of the Corporation, each reside outside of Canada and have appointed the Corporation as agent for service of process at 200, 144 - 4th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3N4. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.
The Corporation's registered and head office is located at 200, 144 – 4th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3N4.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements contained in this prospectus, and in certain documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking information"). In addition to the following cautionary statement, with respect to forward-looking information contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein, prospective purchasers should refer to "Forward Looking Information" in the AIF, "Forward-Looking Statements" in the Annual MD&A and Interim MD&A (as defined herein), as well as the advisories section of any documents incorporated by reference herein that are filed after the date thereof.
All forward-looking information is based on the Corporation's current expectations, estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the applicable statement was made and in light of the Corporation's experience and its perception of historical trends. Forward-looking information is typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "should", "could", "would", "believe", "plan", "intend", "undertake", "indicate", "maintain", "forecast", "strategy", "potential", and similar expressions suggesting future events or future performance. In particular, this prospectus contains forward-looking information pertaining to the anticipated use of proceeds from the sale of the Securities, the potential issuance of securities other than pursuant to this prospectus, and incorporates by reference forward-looking information pertaining to the Corporation's future plans, growth projects, business strategies and expected results from future operations.
Various factors and assumptions are typically applied by the Corporation in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts, projections, predictions or estimates set out in forward-looking information based on information currently available to the Corporation at the time the applicable statement is made, including those factors and assumptions described under the headings "Forward Looking Information" in the AIF, and "Forward-Looking Statements" in the Annual MD&A and Interim MD&A. The Corporation believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable as at the date hereof or as at the date specified in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and the forward-looking information included in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein should not be unduly relied upon.
The Corporation's actual results and other events could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information set forth in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. By its nature, forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information. These known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus and under "Risk Factors" in the AIF and the Annual MD&A, as well as the other risk factors described in any documents incorporated by reference herein that are filed after the date thereof. These factors should not, however, be construed as exhaustive.
The forward-looking information in this prospectus speaks as of the date hereof, and the forward-looking information in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus speaks as of the date of the document in which it is contained and, unless required by law, the Corporation does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise such forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any forward-looking information contained or incorporated by reference herein is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The documents incorporated by reference herein refer to certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (also referred to as generally accepted accounting principles or "GAAP"). Measures such as "funds from operations", "distributable cash flow", "distributable cash flow per share", "payout ratio", "return on invested capital", "compound annual growth rate for distributable cash flow
- 7 -
per share", "EBITDA", "adjusted EBITDA", "compound annual growth rate for dividends per share", "compound annual growth rate for adjusted EBITDA from the Fee-for-Service Business", "adjusted cash flow from operating activities", "realized margin", "annual return on capital for the KAPS project", and "annual return on capital for the growth capital program excluding KAPS" do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers, and should not be construed as alternatives to revenue, earnings, cash flow from operating activities, gross profit or other measures calculated in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Keyera's performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful supplemental metrics to help facilitate an understanding of Keyera's results of operations, leverage, liquidity and financial position.
For information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures used by Keyera, including the meaning of, specific rationale for, and additional information associated with, each non-GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP for the applicable period then ended, please see "EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA" and "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" beginning on pages 46 and 55 of the Annual MD&A and pages 41 and 45 of Interim MD&A.

KEYERA CORP.
Keyera operates an integrated Canadian-based energy infrastructure business with extensive interconnected assets and expertise in delivering energy solutions. Infrastructure businesses operate in the oil and gas sector between the upstream sector, which includes oil and gas exploration and production businesses, and the downstream sector, which includes the refining, distribution and retail marketing of finished products. Keyera is organized into three highly integrated reportable segments:
- Gathering and Processing – Keyera owns and operates raw gas gathering pipelines and processing plants, which collect and process raw natural gas, remove waste products and separate the economic components – primarily natural gas liquids ("NGLs") – before the sales gas is delivered into long-distance pipeline systems for transportation to end-use markets. Keyera also provides condensate handling services through its condensate gathering pipelines and stabilization facilities.
- Liquids Infrastructure – Keyera owns and operates a network of facilities for the gathering, processing, storage and transportation of the by-products of natural gas processing, including NGLs in mix form and specification NGLs such as ethane, propane, butane and condensate. In addition, this segment includes Keyera's iso-octane facilities at Alberta Envirofuels, its liquids blending facilities, its 50% interest in the crude oil storage facility at Base Line Terminal and its 90% interest in the Wildhorse Terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma.
- Marketing – Keyera markets a range of products associated with its two infrastructure business lines, primarily propane, butane, condensate and iso-octane, and also engages in liquids blending activities.
For a description of the business and operations of Keyera, see "Description of the Structure of Keyera", "General Development of the Business" and "Business of Keyera" in the AIF.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Securities is subject to various risks, including those risks inherent to the industry in which Keyera operates. Before deciding whether to invest in any Securities, investors should consider carefully the risks in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus (including subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference) and those described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of the Securities.
In addition to the risk factors set forth below, additional risk factors affecting Keyera in connection with its business are provided in the Corporation's disclosure documents filed with the various securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus and are accessible on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. In particular, see the "Risk Factors" section of the AIF and the "Risk Factors" section of the Annual MD&A, as well as similar sections in any documents incorporated by reference herein that are filed after the date hereof. Before investing, prospective purchasers of the Securities should carefully consider the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
There is no market through which the Securities (other than the Common Shares) may be sold.
There is currently no market through which any of the Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold and the purchasers of such Securities may not be able to resell such securities purchased under this prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop for any of the Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Warrants or Subscription Receipts that may be issued under this prospectus or that any secondary market which does develop will continue. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, if any, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities and the extent of regulation of such Securities.
The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between Keyera and underwriters based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering.
Credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in Securities and may change.
Credit ratings that may be disclosed in respect of any Debt Securities or Preferred Shares may not reflect all risks associated with an investment in such Debt Securities or Preferred Shares. Any credit ratings applied to Debt
- 11 -
Securities or Preferred Shares are an assessment of Keyera's ability to pay its obligations. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in the credit ratings will generally affect the market value of Debt Securities or Preferred Shares. The credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to structure, market or other factors discussed herein on the value of Debt Securities or Preferred Shares. There is no assurance that any credit rating assigned to Debt Securities or Preferred Shares will remain in effect for any given period of time or that any rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by the relevant rating agency.
Increases in interest rates may cause the market price or value of Securities to decline.
The market price or value of the Securities, especially Debt Securities and Preferred Shares, may decline as prevailing interest rates rise.
Corporation Structure and Priority of Subsidiary Indebtedness.
The Corporation conducts its business through a number of corporate and partnership subsidiaries. The Corporation's subsidiaries will not have an obligation to pay amounts due pursuant to any Debt Securities or Preferred Shares or to make any funds available for payment on indebtedness, whether by dividends, interest, loans, advances or other payments. In addition, the payment of dividends and the making of loans, advances and other payments to the Corporation by its subsidiaries may be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Debt Securities will be effectively subordinated to claims of creditors of the Corporation's subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities, in that the Corporation's right to participate as a securityholder or partner in the distribution of the assets of any subsidiary upon any such distribution would be subject to the prior claims of the creditors of such subsidiary.
LEGAL MATTERS
Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, certain legal matters relating to the Securities offered by a Prospectus Supplement will be passed upon, on behalf of the Corporation, by Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP. If any underwriters, dealers or agents named in a Prospectus Supplement retain their own counsel to pass upon legal matters relating to the Securities, their counsel will be named in the Prospectus Supplement.

CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF RESCISSION
Original purchasers of Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities or Warrants (or Units comprised partly thereof) which are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, other securities of the Corporation will have a contractual right of rescission against the Corporation in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities, as applicable. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise of the Security or, if no amount was paid upon conversion, exercise or exchange, the amount paid for the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that both: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise occurs, and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised, within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this prospectus (as supplemented or amended). This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 203 of the Securities Act (Alberta), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 203 of the Securities Act (Alberta) or otherwise at law. Original purchasers are further advised that in certain provinces the statutory right of action for damages in connection with a prospectus misrepresentation is limited to the amount paid for the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security that was purchased under a prospectus, and therefore a further payment at the time of conversion, exchange or exercise may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.
STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION
Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment (irrespective, in the case of an offering on a non-fixed price basis, of the determination at a later date of the purchase price of the Securities distributed). In several of the provinces, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
In an offering of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus is limited, in certain provincial securities legislation, to the price at which the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of the Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal advisor.
