Issue:

 

Treasury offering of 23,764,000 limited partnership units (“ Units ”) of the Partnership, consisting of 15,625,000 limited partnership units to the public (the “ Public Issue ”) and a concurrent private placement of 8,139,000 redeemable partnership units (“ RPUs ”) of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (the “ Holding LP ” and, together with BIP, “ Brookfield Infrastructure ”) discussed below (the “ Concurrent Private Placement ”).

 

 

 

Issue Size:

 

US$750,030,080 consisting of US$500,000,000 to the public and a Concurrent Private Placement of US$250,030,080.

(“ NTS ”) from Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. This increase would bring Brookfield Infrastructure’s expected investment from the previously disclosed minimum of 20% to an aggregate 28% of the total transaction, representing approximately $1.2 billion of the consideration payable on closing. Any proceeds that are not used for the pending NTS transaction will be used to fund a portion of Brookfield Infrastructure’s growing backlog of organic growth projects that
