Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 22, 2006, the Board of Directors of PVG GP, LLC (the “Company”), the general partner of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (the “Partnership”), adopted the PVG GP, LLC Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). The Deferred Compensation Plan permits the non-employee directors of the Company to defer the receipt of any or all cash, and any or all common units and restricted units of the Partnership, they receive as compensation. All deferrals, and any distributions with respect to deferred common units or deferred restricted units, are credited to a deferred compensation account, the cash portion of which is credited quarterly with interest calculated at the prime rate. Non-employee directors of the Company are fully vested at all times in any cash or deferred common units credited to their deferred compensation accounts. Any restricted unit awards credited to a deferred compensation account are subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions that apply to the underlying award. Amounts held in a non-employee director’s deferred compensation account will be distributed to the director on the January 1st following the earlier to occur of the director reaching age 70 or the resignation or removal of the director from the board of directors of the Company. Upon the death of a non-employee director, all vested amounts held in the deferred compensation account of the non-employee director will be distributed to the director’s estate.

A copy of the Deferred Compensation Plan as adopted is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
