SCHEDULE 13D

 

 

Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 7 (this “ Amendment No. 7 ”) to Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect the closing on September 15, 2017 of the previously announced equity offering of the Partnership, which included a concurrent private placement (the “ Private Placement ”) to Brookfield of 7,423,000 RPUs of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“ Holding LP ”), which are exchangeable for limited partnership units of the Partnership (the “ Units ”) under certain circumstances.  The additional RPUs were issued to BIP REU Holdings (2016) L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield.

 

Information reported in the original Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 7.

 

Item 2.          Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Schedules I, II and III hereto set forth a list of all the directors and executive officers (the “ Scheduled Persons ”), and their respective principal occupations, addresses, and citizenships, of each of Brookfield, PVI Management Inc., as general partner of Partners Value Investments LP (“ Value Investments ”), and Partners Limited (“ Partners ”), respectively.

 

Item 3.          Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

In connection with the Private Placement, Brookfield and the Partnership entered into a subscription agreement, dated as of September 12, 2017 (the “ Subscription Agreement ”), which provided for the purchase by Brookfield of 7,423,000 RPUs, deliverable at closing on or about September 15, 2017.

 

Item 4.          Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

The Subscription Agreement provided for the purchase by Brookfield of 7,423,000 RPUs for the purpose of increasing its investment in the Partnership.

 

Item 5.          Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Items 5(a)—(b) of Schedule 13D are hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)-(b)                   As of the date hereof, Value Investments may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 3,327,972 Units, and such Units constitute approximately 0.8% of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of September 15, 2017. Assuming that all of the redeemable partnership units of Holding LP were exchanged for Units pursuant to the redemption-exchange mechanism, as of the date hereof, Brookfield may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 116,074,637 Units and Partners may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 119,440,712 Units, and such Units would constitute approximately 29.6% and 30.4%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of September 15, 2017. The Units deemed to be beneficially owned by Partners include 38,102 Units owned by Partners and the Units deemed to be beneficially owned by each of Brookfield and Value Investments. Brookfield may hold the Units directly or in one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries. Partners may be deemed to have shared power (with each of Brookfield and Value Investments) to vote or direct the vote of the Units beneficially owned by it or to dispose of such Units other than 38,102 Units with respect to which it has sole voting and investment power.
