Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment No. 3”) to Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect the acquisition by Brookfield of RPUs pursuant to a Subscription Agreement entered into on April 8, 2015 by Brookfield and the Partnership. Information reported in the original Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 3.
Item 2. Identity and Background
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, Partners Value Fund Inc. (“Value Fund”) 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:
On April 13, 2015, Brookfield purchased 8,101,150 RPUs of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“Holding LP”), which are exchangeable for limited partnership units of the Partnership (the “Units”) under certain circumstances. The purchase of these RPUs by Brookfield will be funded by $349,999,920 cash on hand from Brookfield.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
Brookfield is acquiring the 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 replaced with the following:
(a)-(b) As of the date hereof, Value Fund may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,218,649 Units, and such Units constitute approximately 1.0% of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of April 13, 2015. 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 66,841,266 Units and Partners may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 69,085,316 Units, and such Units would constitute approximately 29.2% and 30.1%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of April 13, 2015.

Partners may be deemed to have shared power (with each of Brookfield and Value Fund) to vote or direct the vote of the Units beneficially owned by it or to dispose of such Units other than 25,401 Units with respect to which it has sole voting and investment power.
