Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 9 (this “Amendment No. 9”) to Schedule 13D is being filed by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”), Partners Limited (“Partners”), and Partners Value Investments LP (“Value Investments”), by its general partner, PVI Management Inc. (Value Investments, collectively with Brookfield and Partners, the “Reporting Persons”) to reflect the closing on March 31, 2020 of the previously announced distribution of class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (“exchangeable shares”) of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”) to the unitholders of the Issuer and Holding LP.

Information and defined terms reported in the original Schedule 13D, as amended through Amendment No. 8 thereto, remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information or defined terms contained in this Amendment No. 9.

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. and Partners, respectively.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

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

On or about March 31, 2020, the Reporting Persons received an aggregate 13,889,459 exchangeable shares in connection with the previously announced distribution of exchangeable shares to the unitholders of the Issuer and Holding LP. Each exchangeable share is structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one Unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events). Each exchangeable share is exchangeable at the option of the holder for one Unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BIPC). The Issuer may elect to satisfy BIPC’s exchange obligation by acquiring such tendered exchangeable shares for an equivalent number of Units (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

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

(a)-(b)

Assuming that all of the exchangeable shares of BIPC held by Value Investments were exchanged for Units, as of the date hereof, Value Investments may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 848,873 Units, for which Value Investments has sole voting and dispositive power through its 100% owned subsidiary, Partners Value Investments Inc., and such Units constitute approximately 0.3% of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of December 31, 2019. Assuming that all of the redeemable partnership units of Holding LP were exchanged for Units pursuant to the redemption-exchange mechanism and all exchangeable shares of BIPC held by the Reporting Persons were exchanged for Units, as of the date hereof, Brookfield may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 135,958,530 Units and Partners may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 136,849,738 Units, and such Units would constitute approximately 31.7% and 31.9%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of December 31, 2019. The Units deemed to be beneficially owned by Partners include 42,335 Units and exchangeable shares 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 42,335 Units and exchangeable shares with respect to which it has sole voting and investment power.


CUSIP No. G16252101		SCHEDULE 13D

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

Holders of exchangeable shares are entitled to exchange their exchangeable shares for an equivalent number of Units (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of the BIPC) at any time. The Issuer may elect to satisfy BIPC’s exchange obligation by acquiring such tendered exchangeable shares for an equivalent number of Units (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent. On March 31, 2020, Wilmington Trust, National Association and Brookfield entered into the Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which Brookfield has agreed that, until March 31, 2025, it will, under certain circumstances, satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations pursuant to BIPC’s articles of incorporation to exchange exchangeable shares for Units or its cash equivalent. As of March 31, 2020, Brookfield may deliver up to 46,349,323 Units to satisfy any exchange of exchangeable shares in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Rights Agreement described in this Item 6 does not purport to be complete and, as such, is qualified in its entirety by the Rights Agreement set forth in Exhibit 10 hereto and incorporated in this Item 6 by reference.

Value Investments also beneficially owns 76,100 class A preferred units, Series 7, of the Issuer.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.


Exhibit 10		Rights Agreement, dated March 31, 2020, by and between Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and Wilmington Trust, N.A. (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation’s Form 6-K filed on April 1, 2020)
