Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP) reported that Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (BIPC) adjourned its special shareholder meeting on the proposed corporate simplification to October 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The meeting will be virtual; BIPC’s record date remains August 21, 2026, and registered shareholders’ proxy deadline is October 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Previously submitted proxies do not need to be submitted again. BIP’s special unitholder meeting remains scheduled virtually for October 14, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. EDT.
If approved, the simplification would combine BIP and BIPC into one publicly traded corporation, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Inc. Completion is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to the final court order and required regulatory approvals. If necessary securityholder approvals are obtained, a final hearing is expected on or about November 3, 2026. The boards of BIP and BIPC recommend that their respective unitholders and shareholders vote in favor.
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP) is asking unitholders and Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation shareholders to approve a corporate simplification in which equity holders of BIP and BIPC would exchange their interests for Class A subordinate voting shares of a new Canadian public company, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Inc. (BIP Inc.). BIP and BIPC would become subsidiaries of BIP Inc., implemented through a court-approved plan of arrangement in British Columbia.
Each BIP unit and BIP exchangeable security would be exchanged for one BIP Inc. Class A Share
Special committees and boards of both BIP and BIPC unanimously (excluding two recused non‑independent directors) recommend voting in favor, supported by a Scotiabank fairness opinion. The special meetings are on October 14, 2026 with a record date of August 21, 2026, and completion is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to securityholder, court, regulatory and exchange approvals. Registered holders have dissent rights, and approval will also authorize BIP Inc. to conduct future prospectus offerings of BIP Inc. Class A Shares without separate shareholder votes under Canadian “restricted securities” rules.
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP) adopted a Twelfth Amendment to the limited partnership agreement of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. creating two new series of Cumulative Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 19 and Series 20, each consisting of 6,000,000 units with an issue price of C$25.00 per unit.
Series 19 pays quarterly cumulative distributions at an initial fixed rate of 5.75% per annum, reset every five years to the greater of the 5‑year Government of Canada yield plus 2.35% or 5.75%. Series 20 pays quarterly floating-rate distributions at the 3‑month T‑Bill rate plus 2.35%. Both series carry defined redemption rights beginning on September 30, 2031, liquidation preferences of C$25.00 plus accrued distributions, and reciprocal one‑for‑one reclassification rights between Series 19 and 20, including automatic reclassification if fewer than 1,000,000 units of a series remain outstanding on a reclassification date.
The amendment also revises allocation of Income and Loss for Canadian tax purposes among partners, including holders of publicly offered preferred units, and deletes the prior requirement that the Managing General Partner furnish Schedule K‑1 (or equivalent) tax statements. Through a new Guarantee Indenture, BIP and BIPC Holdings Inc. jointly and severally guarantee payment of all Class A Preferred LP Unit obligations of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P., on terms subordinated to each Guarantor’s senior obligations and ranking pari passu with its other preferred-securities-related guarantees.
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP), through subsidiary Brookfield Infrastructure L.P., agreed to issue 4,000,000 5.75% Cumulative Minimum Rate Reset Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 19, at $25.00 per unit on a bought deal basis, for gross proceeds of $100,000,000, all in Canadian dollars.
The Series 19 Preferred Units pay a cumulative quarterly fixed distribution at 5.75% annually until September 30, 2031, then reset every five years to the greater of the 5‑year Government of Canada bond yield plus 2.35% or 5.75%. They are redeemable on September 30, 2031 and on each five‑year reclassification date thereafter.
Holders may reclassify Series 19 into Series 20 floating‑rate preferred units on each reclassification date, with distributions at the 90‑day Canadian Treasury Bill yield plus 2.35%. Underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional 2,000,000 units, which would increase the offering size to $150,000,000. Net proceeds are intended for general corporate purposes, and closing is expected on or about August 27, 2026. The units are offered across Canada and are not being offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an exemption.
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Inc., Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation entered into an arrangement agreement dated July 21, 2026 for a court-approved plan of arrangement under Section 288 of the BCBCA. The stated goal is to deliver additional benefits to BIP unitholders and BIPC shareholders by holding their investments through BIP Inc., a newly formed corporation.
Under the transaction, holders of Equity Units, exchangeable LP units, BIHC A.2 shares and BIPC class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares will receive BIP Inc. Class A subordinate voting shares on a one-for-one basis, with certain holders able to elect a portion in non-interest-bearing BIP Inc. Notes that are later exchanged for Class A shares. Completion requires Interim and Final Orders from the Supreme Court of British Columbia and approvals from BIP unitholders, BIPC shareholders and Minority Unitholders under MI 61-101, supported by fairness opinions from Scotia Capital Inc. The plan adds new redemption and call rights allowing BIP to redeem, or BIP Inc. to purchase, public units for cash equal to or for Class A share consideration, sets detailed dissent procedures, and splits Transaction Costs 50/50 between BIP and BIPC subject to a specified termination event.
