Brookfield Infrastructure to create single BIP Inc entity
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Brookfield Corporation and BAM Partners Trust report beneficial ownership of 207,999,242 Brookfield Infrastructure Partners limited partnership units on an as-exchanged basis, representing 31.5% of the class based on 457,709,338 units outstanding as of July 21, 2026, assuming exchange of related RPUs and Class A.2 Shares.
On July 21, 2026, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Inc. entered into an arrangement agreement to simplify their structure by converting BIP and BIPC into a single Canadian publicly traded company, BIP Inc., via a court-approved plan of arrangement. All Units, BIPC Shares and specified exchangeable securities will be exchanged one-for-one for newly issued BIP Inc. Class A shares, expected to list on the TSX and NYSE. After completion, Brookfield and its subsidiaries are expected to own 204,711,975 BIP Inc. Class A shares (26.4%, or 30.9% if the BIPC Share Exchange does not occur), all 45,776 BIP Inc. Class B multiple voting shares and Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. is expected to own all 2,400,631 BIP Inc. Class I shares. Securityholder votes are scheduled for October 14, 2026, and completion is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to required approvals.

Filing Explained
The proposed conversion would place partnership securities under BIP Inc. while Brookfield’s Class B shares would carry votes equal to Class A shares minus 100.
The
In practical terms, the proposed conversion would place these existing partnership and exchangeable securities under the new corporate entity rather than leave them as separate securities.
Brookfield would receive all 45,776 BIP Inc. Class B shares, whose aggregate voting power would equal the number of outstanding Class A shares minus 100; this describes a voting-rights structure, not ownership of all Class A shares.
