On April 23, 2026, Apollo announced that Apollo-managed funds agreed to acquire a 40% stake in Pembina Gas Infrastructure Inc. (“PGI”) from funds managed by KKR. Pembina Pipeline Corporation (“Pembina”), which operates and manages PGI’s facilities, will maintain its 60% stake in PGI and the existing governance structure will remain unchanged upon closing.
Since its formation as a joint venture between Pembina and KKR in 2022, PGI has grown into one of the largest independent gas processing platforms in Western Canada.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
