Exhibit 97.1BROOKFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS L.P.
BROOKFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE CORPORATION
CLAWBACK POLICY
October 2023
This Clawback Policy (this “Policy”) applies to senior executive officers and any other individuals (collectively, “Executive Officers”) that would be considered an “executive officer” of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”) and/or any of their respective controlled subsidiaries whose securities may be listed on a U.S. national security exchange from time to time (the “Listed Subsidiaries” and each, a “Listed Subsidiary”) within the meaning of Rule 10D-1(d) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the applicable stock exchange rules implementing such Rule (collectively, the “U.S. Clawback Rules”).
In the event the Partnership, BIPC or any Listed Subsidiary (each, a “Subject Issuer”) is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. federal securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct a material error in such Subject Issuer’s previously-issued financial statements, or to avoid a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (an “Accounting Restatement”), the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership (if such Subject Issuer is the Partnership), the board of directors of BIPC (if such Subject Issuer is BIPC) or the board of directors (or equivalent) of the applicable Listed Subsidiary (if such Subject Issuer is a Listed Subsidiary) (as applicable, the “Board”) will review all compensation (“Incentive-Based Compensation”) that is (i) granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of one or more measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing such Subject Issuer’s financial statements, or are derived wholly or in part from such measures (collectively, “Financial Reporting Measures”), and (ii) “received” by Executive Officers of such Subject Issuer (a) after beginning service as an Executive Officer of such Subject Issuer, (b) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which such Subject Issuer is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement (the “Restatement Date”) (as well as during any transition period specified under the U.S. Clawback Rules), (c) while such Subject Issuer has a class of securities listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, and (d) after the U.S. Clawback Rules became effective. For purposes of the U.S. Clawback Rules and this Policy, “received” means the applicable Financial Reporting Measures have been attained, regardless of when the compensation is actually granted or paid.
If, in connection with an Accounting Restatement of a Subject Issuer, the Board of such Subject Issuer determines that one or more Executive Officers of such Subject Issuer received an amount of Incentive-Based Compensation in excess of the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts in connection with such Accounting Restatement, as calculated without regard to any taxes paid and otherwise in accordance with the U.S. Clawback Rules (such excess, the “Erroneously Awarded Compensation”), such Subject Issuer will, reasonably promptly after the Restatement Date, seek recoupment from all such Executive Officers of all Erroneously Awarded Compensation.
Erroneously Awarded Compensation must be recovered as provided in this Policy on a “no fault” basis without regard to whether any Executive Officer is responsible for the noncompliance that resulted in the Accounting Restatement, unless a committee of independent directors of the Board of the applicable Subject Issuer responsible for executive compensation decisions (or in the absence of such committee, the majority of the independent directors serving on the Board of the applicable Subject Issuer) determines that any of the impracticality exceptions set forth in the U.S. Clawback Rules are available. Any appropriate method may be used for recouping Erroneously Awarded Compensation. A Subject Issuer’s obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements in connection with the Accounting Restatement have been filed, and no Subject Issuer may indemnify any Executive Officer against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation in respect of any Subject Issuer.
Each document setting forth the terms and conditions of any Incentive-Based Compensation granted or paid to an Executive Officer will include a provision incorporating this Policy or the requirements of this Policy. The remedies specified in this Policy will not be exclusive and will be in addition to every other right or remedy at law or in equity that may be available to the Subject Issuer.

All determinations and decisions made by such Board under this Policy will be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.
