Bison Acquisition Corp, an entity managed by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield Infrastructure” or “Brookfield”) to acquire all outstanding common shares of Inter Pipeline Ltd. (“IPL”) The Offer implies an enterprise value of approximately C$15.3 billion The Offer is valued at C$19.75 per share (as of June 1, 2021) (1) Represents a 4.4% premium to the proposed Pembina Pipeline Corporation (“Pembina”) transaction as announced June 1, 2021 (“Alternative Transaction”)(2) Represents a 47% premium to the unaffected price of IPL(3) Represents a 51% premium to the 30-day volume-weighted average price of IPL(3) The Offer Opportunity to receive maximum upfront cash consideration, subject to proration, or participate in Brookfield’s Global Infrastructure Platform through election of: C$19.50 per share in cash; or combination of 0.225 shares of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”) for every share of IPL Aggregate cash consideration of $5.56 billion and maximum issuance of 23.0 million BIPC Shares Super election available for those shareholders seeking to maximize tax-deferred BIPC consideration(4) for up to an incremental 8.0 million BIPC Shares Attractive Consideration Offer is open for acceptance until June 22, 2021 Timing Based on the price of the BIPC Shares at the close of markets on June 1, 2021, and assuming 74% Cash Consideration and 26% Share Consideration, subject to proration. Premium to Pembina offer valued at $18.91 per share as of market close on June 1, 2021.

Background to the Offer Brookfield Infrastructure was provided access to IPL’s data room on May 14th, 91 days after we announced our intention to file the original offer. Carried out our confirmatory due diligence for two weeks and received cooperation from IPL Management. On May 31st, Brookfield Infrastructure submitted its final offer valued at ~C$19.50 per share comprised of 74% cash and 26% BIPC shares. Our final offer is majority cash plus attractive share consideration We have received all required key regulatory approvals and could close within weeks, minimizing transaction risk Our business plan is not seeking to generate significant cost synergies by eliminating duplicative jobs as would a strategic acquirer. That evening Brookfield Infrastructure was informed that the “totality” of a competing offer was superior, and exclusivity had already been signed. On June 1st, IPL and Pembina announced they had entered an arrangement for an all-share deal, where Pembina would acquire all outstanding common shares of IPL at C$18.91 per share(1). IPL agreed to a C$350 million break fee payable to Pembina. The break fee is at the high end of those that are typically awarded. Brookfield Infrastructure views the break fee as an improper use of IPL Shareholders’ cash and is a decision that requires significant scrutiny. Upon reviewing the details of the Alternative Proposal, we fail to understand why an inferior offer from the perspective of aggregate consideration, transaction certainty and timeline to completion was recommended by the IPL Board. On the morning of June 2nd, Brookfield announced its intention to present its Offer directly to IPL shareholders. Pembina offer based on closing price of the Pembina shares on the TSX on June 1, 2021

Preserves Significant Canadian Jobs versus the Alternative Transaction Brookfield Infrastructure’s Offer preserves significant Canadian jobs in Alberta compared to the cost reduction-driven Alternative Transaction 5 ~1,150 Canadian IPL employees(1) As at December 31, 2020, per IPL disclosure. IPL has been one of Alberta’s long-standing, top-tier employers providing rewarding career opportunities and job growth Brookfield is a financial investor and is not seeking to generate significant cost synergies by eliminating duplicative jobs We would seek to support IPL, grow certain segments selectively, and continue to be a large and trusted employer in Alberta The Alternative Transaction, on the other hand, has publicly indicated it is pursuing annual synergies of $150 - $200 million Would lead to significant job losses
