BROOKFIELD, NEWS–(Marketwired – Nov. 28, 2016) –

All amounts in U.S. dollars

Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE:BIP)(TSX:BIP.UN) today announced that it has agreed to issue 15,625,000 L.P. units, on a bought deal basis, to a syndicate of underwriters, co-led by RBC Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets, Citibank, BofA Merrill Lynch and HSBC at a price of $32.00 per L.P. unit (the “Offering Price”) for gross proceeds of $500,000,000 (the “Offering”). In addition, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (NYSE:BAM)(TSX:BAM)(EURONEXT:BAM) and certain of its related entities (other than Brookfield Infrastructure) (collectively, “Brookfield”) will purchase, directly or indirectly, 8,139,000 redeemable partnership units of Brookfield Infrastructure’s holding limited partnership (“RPUs”) at the Offering Price (net of underwriting commissions) concurrent with the Offering (the “Concurrent Private Placement”). The aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement will be $750,030,080.

Brookfield Infrastructure has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable in whole or in part for a period of 30 days following closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 2,343,750 L.P. units at the Offering Price. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the gross offering size would increase to $825,030,080.

In September 2016, alongside several of our institutional partners, we announced an agreement to acquire a 90% controlling stake in Nova Transportadora do Sudeste S.A. (“NTS”), from Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”), for total consideration of $5.2 billion (the “NTS Transaction”). Initially, we announced that our expected investment would be a minimum of 20% of the total transaction. We now expect to increase our investment commitment to 28% of the total transaction, representing approximately $1.2 billion of the consideration payable on closing, with the remaining balance payable on the fifth anniversary of the closing. The increase in commitment would be syndicated from Brookfield Asset Management Inc., reducing its commitment by a corresponding amount. We are targeting to close the NTS Transaction by the end of 2016 or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, following satisfaction of all conditions that remain outstanding.

NTS owns the natural gas transmission system that serves the core economic regions in the highly populated states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais in South Central Brazil. We believe these are uniquely-positioned long-life assets as they earn revenues that are indexed to inflation, have no periodic regulatory resets and are not subject to material volume risk because they are currently 100% contracted under long-term “ship-or-pay” gas transportation agreements.

We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering, together with the proceeds of the Concurrent Private Placement, to fund the increase in our investment in the pending NTS Transaction. Any proceeds that are not used for the NTS Transaction will be used to fund a portion of our growing backlog of organic growth projects, which we expect to invest in 2017. These projects include recently awarded electricity transmission projects in Brazil, construction of which is expected to commence in the near future.

The Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement are expected to close on or about December 2, 2016.
