    % Subordinated Notes due 2081

Guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and the other guarantors identified herein

Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 15 of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. Issuable Upon Automatic Exchange

Brookfield Infrastructure Finance ULC (the “Issuer”) is offering $                principal amount of unsecured     % subordinated notes due 2081 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, as to payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest and certain other amounts by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), and will also be guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, as to payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest and certain other amounts, by each of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“BILP”), BIP Bermuda Holdings I Limited (“Bermuda Holdco”), Brookfield Infrastructure Holdings (Canada) Inc. (“Can Holdco”), Brookfield Infrastructure US Holdings I Corporation (“US Holdco”) and BIPC Holdings Inc. (“BIPC Holdings,” and together with the Partnership, BILP, Bermuda Holdco, Can Holdco and US Holdco, the “Guarantors,” and all guarantees together, the “Guarantees”).

As described under “Use of Proceeds” herein, we intend for the net proceeds of this offering to be used for the redemption of the Partnership’s Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units (“Class A Preferred Units”), Series 5, which are redeemable by the Partnership on September 30, 2021, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes. Pending the allocation of a portion of the net proceeds of the Notes to redeem the Class A Preferred Units, Series 5, the unallocated portion of the net proceeds may be temporarily used for the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness. As of March 31, 2021, approximately C$250 million of BIP’s Class A Preferred Units, Series 5, were outstanding.

The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes quarterly on every March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during which the Notes are outstanding until             , 2081 (the “Maturity Date”, and each such quarterly date, an “Interest Payment Date”). The first Interest Payment Date will be September 30, 2021. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes at a fixed rate of     % per year in equal quarterly installments in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. The Notes will be issued in minimum denomination of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.

So long as no Event of Default (as defined herein) has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may elect, at its sole option, to defer the interest payable on the Notes on one or more occasions for up to five consecutive years (a “Deferral Period”). Deferred interest will accrue until paid. No Deferral Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date.

The Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be exchanged automatically (an “Automatic Exchange”), without the consent or action of the holders thereof, into units of newly-issued series of Class A Preferred Units, which will be Series 15 (the “Exchange Preferred Units” and together with the Notes and the Guarantees, the “Securities”) upon the occurrence of an Automatic Exchange Event (as hereinafter defined) relating to certain bankruptcy and related events, as described herein. See “Description of Notes”.

On or after                , 2026, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on any Interest Payment Date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for such redemption. Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event or a Rating Event (each as defined herein), the Issuer may also, at its option, redeem the Notes (in whole but not in part) at the redemption prices described herein. See “Description of Notes”.

As of the date hereof, there is no market through which the Notes may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Notes purchased under this prospectus supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Notes in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices and the liquidity of the Notes. The Issuer intends to apply to list the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If the application is approved, the Issuer expects trading on the NYSE to begin within 30 days of the issuance of the Notes.

One or more of the underwriters may sell to an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management up to approximately $                 Notes at the public offering price.

Investing in the Securities involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-20 of this prospectus supplement and the risk factors included in the Partnership’s Annual Report (as defined below) and described in other documents we incorporate herein by reference, for information regarding risks you should consider before investing in Securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission or Canadian securities regulator has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING THE USE OF NON-IFRS ACCOUNTING MEASURES

We utilize these measures in managing our business, including for performance measurement, capital allocation and valuation purposes and believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our IFRS results is helpful to investors in assessing our overall performance. These financial measures should not be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, similar financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. We caution readers that these non IFRS financial measures or other financial metrics may differ from the calculations disclosed by other businesses, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities. Reconciliations of these non IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, where applicable, are included in the Annual Report and the Partnership’s quarterly reports on Form 6-K, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Distribution Stopper Undertaking: Unless the Issuer has paid all interest that has been deferred or is then payable on the Notes, subject to certain exceptions, neither the Issuer nor the Partnership will (i) declare any distributions or dividends on the Distribution Restricted Securities (as defined below) or pay any interest on any Parity Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) redeem, purchase or otherwise retire Distribution Restricted Securities or Parity Indebtedness, or (iii) make any payment to holders of any of the Distribution Restricted Securities or any Parity Indebtedness in respect of distributions or dividends not declared or paid on such Distribution Restricted Securities or interest not paid on such Parity Indebtedness, respectively (the “Distribution Stopper Undertaking”), provided that the foregoing clauses (i) and (iii) shall not apply in respect of any pro rata dividend or distribution or any other payment on any Parity Indebtedness which is made with a pro rata payment of any accrued and payable interest with respect to the Notes.

S-11

Automatic Exchange: The Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be exchanged automatically (the “Automatic Exchange”), without the consent of the holders thereof, into units of a newly issued series of Class A Preferred Units, being Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 15 (the “Exchange Preferred Units”) upon the occurrence of: (i) the making by the Issuer of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or a proposal (or the filing of a notice of its intention to do so) under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada); (ii) any proceeding instituted by the Issuer and/or the Partnership seeking to adjudicate them as bankrupt (including any voluntary assignment in bankruptcy) or insolvent or, where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are insolvent, seeking liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, compromise, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of their debts under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada or Bermuda (as applicable), or seeking the entry of an order for the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official for the Issuer and/or the Partnership or in respect of all or any substantial part of their property and assets in circumstances where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are adjudged as bankrupt (including any voluntary assignment in bankruptcy) or insolvent; (iii) a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official is appointed over the Issuer and/or the Partnership or for all or substantially all of their property and assets by a court of competent jurisdiction in circumstances where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are adjudged as bankrupt (including any voluntary assignment in bankruptcy) or insolvent under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada or Bermuda (as applicable); or (iv) any proceeding is instituted against the Issuer and/or the Partnership seeking to adjudicate them as bankrupt (including any voluntary assignment in bankruptcy) or insolvent, or where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are insolvent, seeking liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, compromise, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of their debts under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada or Bermuda (as applicable), or seeking the entry of an order for the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official for the Issuer and/or the Partnership or in respect of all or any substantial part of their property and assets in circumstances where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada or Bermuda (as applicable), and in any such case, such proceeding has not been stayed or dismissed within 60 days of the institution of any such proceeding or the actions sought in such proceedings occur (including the entry of an order for relief against the Issuer and/or the Partnership or the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee, or other similar official for them or for all or substantially all of their property and assets) (each, an “Automatic Exchange Event”).

S-12

The Automatic Exchange shall occur upon an Automatic Exchange Event (the “Exchange Time”). As of the Exchange Time, noteholders will have the right to receive one Exchange Preferred Unit for each $25 principal amount of Notes held together with the number of Exchange Preferred Units (including fractional units, if applicable) calculated by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes, by $25. Such right will be automatically exercised, and the Notes shall be automatically exchanged, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, into the newly issued series of fully paid Exchange Preferred Units. At such time, all outstanding Notes shall be deemed to be immediately and automatically surrendered without need for further action by noteholders, who shall thereupon automatically cease to be holders of Notes and all rights of each such holder as a debtholder of the Issuer and as a beneficiary of the subordinated guarantees of the Guarantors shall automatically cease.

Upon an Automatic Exchange of the Notes, the Partnership reserves the right not to issue some or all of the Exchange Preferred Units to any person whose address is in, or whom the Partnership or its transfer agent has reason to believe is a resident of, any jurisdiction outside of the United States to the extent that: (i) the issuance or delivery by the Partnership to such person, upon an Automatic Exchange for Exchange Preferred Units, would require the Partnership to take any action to comply with securities or analogous laws of such jurisdiction; or (ii) withholding tax would be applicable in connection with the delivery to such person of Exchange Preferred Units upon an Automatic Exchange (“Ineligible Persons”). In such circumstances, the Partnership will hold all Exchange Preferred Units that would otherwise be delivered to Ineligible Persons as agent for Ineligible Persons, and will attempt to facilitate the sale of such units through a registered broker or dealer retained by the Partnership for the purpose of effecting the sale (to parties other than the Partnership, its affiliates or other Ineligible Persons) on behalf of such Ineligible Persons of such Exchange Preferred Units.

Redemption Right: On or after                 , 2026, the Issuer may, at its option, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 15 days’ notice to the holders of the Notes, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time. The redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. Notes that are redeemed shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued. See “Description of the Notes — Redemption Right.”

Optional Redemption on Rating Event: At any time following the occurrence of a Rating Event (as defined below), the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes (in whole but not in part) at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

S-13

A “Rating Event” shall be deemed to occur if any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that publishes a rating for the Notes (each a “Rating Agency”) following the initial rating of the Notes by such Rating Agency, amends, clarifies or changes the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the Notes, which amendment, clarification or change results in (a) the shortening of the length of time the Notes are assigned a particular level of equity credit by that Rating Agency as compared to the length of time the Notes would have been assigned that level of equity credit by that Rating Agency or its predecessor on the initial rating of the Notes by such Rating Agency; or (b) the lowering of the equity credit (including up to a lesser amount) assigned to the Notes by that Rating Agency compared to the equity credit assigned by that Rating Agency or its predecessor on the initial rating of the Notes by such Rating Agency.

Optional Redemption on Tax Event:  At any time, after the occurrence of a Tax Event (as defined below), subject to applicable laws, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes (in whole but not in part) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant redemption date.

A “Tax Event” means the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) has received an opinion of counsel of nationally recognized standing experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of (i) any amendment or change to the laws (or any regulations or rulings thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined below) or any applicable tax treaty or (ii) any change in the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties (including any judicial decision rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties), in each case of (i) and (ii), by any legislative body, court, governmental authority or agency, regulatory body or taxing authority, which amendment or change is effective on or after the issue date of the Notes (or if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction has changed since the issue date of the Notes, the date on which the applicable jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such amendment or change made on or after the issue date of the Notes (or the date on which the applicable jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as applicable) that has retroactive effect to a date prior to the issue date of the Notes (or the date on which the applicable jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as applicable)), either: (a) the Issuer is, or may be, subject to more than a de minimis amount of additional taxes, duties or other governmental charges or civil liabilities because the treatment of any of its items of income,

S-14

taxable income, expense, taxable capital or taxable paid-up capital with respect to the Notes, as or as would be reflected in any tax return or form filed, to be filed, or that otherwise could have been filed, will not be respected by a taxing authority (excluding as a result of any limitation on the deductibility of interest on the Notes as a result of any EBITDA, tax EBITDA, or other similar earnings or income-based limit on interest deductibility) or (b) the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) has been or will be on the next Interest Payment Date obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) and neither the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) can avoid such obligation by taking commercially reasonable measures to avoid it.

Additional Covenants: In addition to the Distribution Stopper Undertaking, the Partnership will covenant for the benefit of the holders of the Notes that it will not create or issue any Preferred LP Units which, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, would rank in right of payment in priority to the Exchange Preferred Units.

Rank and Subordination: The Notes will be direct unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer. The obligations of the Issuer under the Notes will be contractually subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Issuer Senior Indebtedness.

“Issuer Senior Indebtedness” means all principal, interest, premium, fees and other amounts owing on, under or in respect of:

• all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Issuer, whether outstanding on the issue date of the Notes or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed; and

• all renewals, extensions, restructurings, refinancings and refundings of any such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations;

except that Issuer Senior Indebtedness will not include the obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Notes, all liabilities and obligations of the Issuer in respect of any equity (including any preferred equity) that has been issued by any Guarantor and all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Issuer that, pursuant to the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, are stated to rank pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes. As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate Issuer Senior Indebtedness totaled approximately $2.1 billion.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each Guarantor on a subordinated and joint and several basis, as to payment of principal, premium (if any), interest and certain other amounts. The obligations of each Guarantor under its guarantee will be contractually subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

S-15

“Guarantor Senior Indebtedness” means, in respect of any Guarantor, all principal, interest, premium, fees and other amounts owing on, under or in respect of:

• all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor, whether outstanding on the issue date of the Notes or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed; and

• all renewals, extensions, restructurings, refinancings and refundings of any such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations;

except that Guarantor Senior Indebtedness will not include the obligations of the Guarantor in respect of its guarantee of the Notes, the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any equity (including any preferred equity) that has been issued by the Issuer, any Guarantor or BIPIC, and all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor that, pursuant to the terms of an instrument creating or evidencing such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, are stated to rank pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to its guarantee of the Notes. As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate Guarantor Senior Indebtedness totaled approximately $7.5 billion, $6.1 billion of which relates to intercompany loans payable to other subsidiaries of the Partnership.

Payment of Additional Amounts: All payments made by the Issuer or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (hereinafter, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of Canada, Bermuda or of any province, territory or jurisdiction thereof or therein or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If the Issuer or any Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made by it under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer or such Guarantor (as applicable) will pay such additional amounts (hereinafter “Additional Amounts”) in respect of each such payment (excluding one payment of quarterly interest, other than deferred interest, in connection with a redemption of the Notes in accordance with the provisions described above under “Optional Redemption on Tax Event”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received (including Additional Amounts) by each holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to: (a) any payment to a holder or beneficial owner who is liable for such Taxes in respect of such Note (i) by

S-16

reason of such holder or beneficial owner, or any other person entitled to payments on the Note, being a person with whom the Issuer or Guarantor does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”)), (ii) by reason of the existence of any present or former connection between such holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) and Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein other than the mere ownership, or receiving payments under or enforcing any rights in respect of such note as a non-resident or deemed non-resident of Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein, or (iii) by reason of such holder or beneficial owner being a “specified shareholder” of the Issuer or not dealing at arm’s length with a “specified shareholder” of the Issuer as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act, or as a consequence of the payment being deemed to be a dividend pursuant to subsection 214(16) or 214(17) of the Tax Act; (b) any Tax that is levied or collected other than by withholding from payments on or in respect of the Notes; (c) any Note presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of (i) the date on which such payment first becomes due or (ii) if the full amount of the monies payable has not been paid to the holders of the Notes on or prior to such date, the date on which the full amount of such monies has been paid to the holders of the Notes, except to the extent that the holder of the Notes would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presentation of the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days; (d) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar Tax; (e) any Tax imposed as a result of the failure of a holder or beneficial owner to comply with certification, identification, declaration, filing or similar reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein of such holder or beneficial owner, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation, as a precondition to reduction of, or exemption, from such Tax; (f) any (i) withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“FATCA”), or any successor version thereof, or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority, or (ii) tax or penalty arising from the holder’s or beneficial owner’s failure to properly comply with the holder’s or beneficial owner’s obligations imposed under the Canada-United States Enhanced Tax Information Exchange Agreement Implementation Act (Canada) or any treaty, law or regulation or other official guidance enacted by Canada implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement with respect to FATCA or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority, including, for greater certainty, Part XVIII and Part XIX of the Tax Act; or (g) any combination of the foregoing clauses (a) to (f).

S-17

The Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) will also (1) make such withholding or deduction and (2) remit the full amount deducted or withheld by it to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) will furnish to the holders of the Notes, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes by it is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by it. The Issuer and the Guarantors will indemnify and hold harmless each holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) and, upon written request, will reimburse each such holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) for the amount of (i) any Taxes (other than any Taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above) levied or imposed and paid by such holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes which have not been withheld or deducted and remitted by the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) in accordance with applicable law, (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (iii) any Taxes (other than any Taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above) imposed with respect to any reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii) above, but excluding any such Taxes on such holder’s (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder’s) net income.

Book-Entry Only Form: The underwriters expect to deliver the Notes on or about                , 2021 in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company and its direct and indirect Participants, including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking S.A. Accordingly, physical certificates representing the Notes will not be available except in the limited circumstances described under “Description of the Notes — Book-Entry Only Form.”

Exchange Preferred Units: Holders of the Exchange Preferred Units will be entitled to receive cumulative preferential cash distributions, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the General Partner, subject to applicable law at the same rate as would have accrued on the Notes (had the Notes remained outstanding) as defined under “Description of the Notes — Interest and Maturity”, payable on each quarterly distribution payment date, subject to any applicable withholding tax. See “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units.”

No Canadian Offers or Sales: The Notes will not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Canada or to any resident of Canada.

Listing: The Notes constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The Issuer intends to apply to list the Notes on the NYSE. If the application is approved, the Issuer expects trading on the NYSE to begin within 30 days of the initial issuance of the Notes.

S-18

Risk Factors: An investment in the Securities is subject to certain risks. Furthermore, an investment in the Notes could be replaced in certain circumstances, without the consent of the holder, by Exchange Preferred Units. Prospective purchasers should therefore carefully consider the disclosure with respect to the Issuer, the Partnership and the Securities included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. See “Risk Factors.”

Governing Law: New York

S-19

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Securities involves risks. Before deciding whether to invest, investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference as provided under “Documents Incorporated by Reference,” including the Annual Report and the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” therein. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please read “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” herein. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying base prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and the market price of the Notes could be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to the Securities

The Notes and the Guarantees are subordinated to Issuer Senior Indebtedness and Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, respectively.

The Notes will not be secured by any assets of the Issuer or the Guarantors. The payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest and certain other amounts on the Notes will rank senior to all obligations of the Issuer in respect of equity that has been issued by any Guarantor (including pursuant to any guarantee by the Issuer of the existing equity obligations of any such person) but will be subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Issuer Senior Indebtedness, and the obligations of each Guarantor under its guarantee of the Notes will rank senior to all obligations of such Guarantor in respect of its own equity and in respect of equity that has been issued by any other Guarantor or BIPIC (including pursuant to any guarantee by such Guarantor of the existing equity obligations of any such person), but will be subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

In addition, in the event of an Automatic Exchange, which will occur upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and certain related events, the Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be exchanged automatically, without consent or action of the holders thereof, into Exchange Preferred Units that will rank junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness and Exchange Unit Senior Securities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against us, and rank pari passu in right of payment with every other class or series of Class A Preferred Units (including the Existing Preferred Units, as defined under “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Class A Preferred Units — Series”) and any other class of series of partnership interest that pursuant to a written agreement rank equally with the Class A Preferred Units and the holders will cease to have any recourse against the Issuer or the Guarantors pursuant to the Indenture. See “Additional Risks Relating to the Exchange Preferred Units — The Exchange Preferred Units will be structurally subordinated to our existing and future debt obligations and Exchange Unit Senior Securities as well as existing and future debt obligations of our subsidiaries and any capital stock of our subsidiaries held by others, including on Existing Canadian Preferred Units to the extent of the guarantees thereof.”

Due to these subordination provisions, in the event of the Issuer’s (or any Guarantor’s) insolvency, holders of the Notes would only get paid from funds of the Issuer (or the Guarantor) after such funds are applied to pay the holders of the obligations ranking senior in right of payment to the Notes (or under the Guarantor’s guarantee thereof) to the extent necessary to pay such senior obligations in full. As a result of those payments, the holders of such senior obligations may recover more, ratably, than holders of the Notes. In addition, the holders of such senior obligations may under certain circumstances restrict or prohibit the Issuer (or the Guarantors) from making payments on the Notes (or under the Guarantors’ guarantees thereof). Further, if there are obligations ranking pari passu with the Notes, any remaining funds after senior obligations are paid in full would be applied on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Notes and holders of such pari passu obligations.

S-20

In addition to the contractual subordination described above, the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest and certain other amounts under the Partnership’s guarantee of the Notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Partnership’s subsidiaries (other than as described in this prospectus supplement in relation to the Issuer and the other Guarantors). Except for the other Guarantors and the Issuer, none of the Partnership’s subsidiaries has guaranteed or otherwise become obligated with respect to the Notes. Accordingly, the Partnership’s right to receive assets from any of its subsidiaries (other than the Issuer and the other Guarantors) upon such subsidiary’s bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization and the right of holders of the Notes to participate in those assets, will be structurally subordinated to claims of that subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors.

As of March 31, 2021, the consolidated senior indebtedness of the Partnership totaled approximately $21.9 billion. The Indenture for the Notes does not restrict the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness generally, which would have a prior claim on the assets securing that indebtedness.

Furthermore, in the event of an insolvency or liquidation of the Partnership or the Issuer, the claims of creditors of the Partnership or Issuer, as applicable, would be entitled to a priority payment over the claims of holders of equity interests of the Partnership or the Issuer, as applicable, such as the Exchange Preferred Units. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Securities — Noteholders will only have rights as an equity holder in the event of insolvency” and “Risk Factors — Additional Risks Relating to the Exchange Preferred Units — The Exchange Preferred Units will be treated as equity in the event of an insolvency or winding-up of the Partnership.”

The Partnership relies on its subsidiaries to conduct a significant amount of its operations and relies on distributions from its subsidiaries.

The Partnership conducts a significant amount of its operations through its subsidiaries. The Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the Partnership’s subsidiaries (other than the subordinated debt of the Issuer or the other Guarantors) and operating companies. The Indenture does not restrict the ability of the Partnership’s subsidiaries (including the Issuer or the other Guarantors) to incur additional indebtedness. As the Partnership conducts a significant amount of its operations through its subsidiaries, the Partnership’s ability to pay the indebtedness owing by it under or in respect of its guarantee of the Notes is dependent on dividends and other distributions it receives from its subsidiaries and major investments. Certain of the instruments governing the indebtedness of the companies in which the Partnership may have an investment may restrict the ability of such companies to pay dividends or make other payments on investments under certain circumstances.

The Issuer relies on the Guarantees of the Notes by the Partnership and the other Guarantors.

As at the closing of this offering, the Issuer does not, and from time to time in the future the Issuer may not, have assets, property or operations other than the investments it has made with the proceeds of its indebtedness, including the Notes. The Issuer is not and will not be restricted in its ability to make investments or incur indebtedness. The holders of the Notes are relying principally on the full and unconditional subordinate guarantee of the Notes provided by the Partnership and the Guarantees of the other Guarantors and principally the financial position and creditworthiness of the Partnership and the other Guarantors in order to receive the repayment of the interest and other amounts owing under and in respect of the Notes. The consolidated financial position and creditworthiness of the Partnership is subject to the risks noted in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the base prospectus.

S-21

The Issuer may redeem the Notes under certain circumstances, which may adversely affect your return on the Notes.

The Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at its option (i) at any time following the occurrence of a Tax Event, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available for such redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, (ii) at any time following the occurrence of a Rating Event, in whole but not in part, out of funds legally available for such redemption, at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, or (iii) at any time on or after                 , 2026, in whole or in part, out of funds legally available for such redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If prevailing interest rates are lower at the time of redemption, a purchaser would not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Notes being redeemed. The Issuer’s redemption right also may adversely impact a purchaser’s ability to sell Notes as the optional redemption date or period approaches and/or may adversely impact the price at which Notes can be sold.

Any decision the Issuer may make at any time to redeem the Notes will depend upon, among other things, its evaluation of our capital position, the terms and circumstances of any Ratings Event or Tax Event, as applicable, and general market conditions at that time. The instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness also may limit the Issuer’s ability to redeem the Notes. As a result, the holders of the Notes may be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the Notes for an indefinite period of time.

Our ability to incur additional indebtedness could adversely affect the rights of holders of our Notes.

The Indenture will not limit the Issuer or the Guarantors’ ability to incur indebtedness. Although some of the agreements governing the existing indebtedness of the Issuer and the Guarantors contain restrictions on their ability to incur additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of important exceptions and the indebtedness the Issuer and the Guarantors could incur in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. As a result, the Issuer and the Guarantors may incur indebtedness that will rank pari passu or senior to the Notes. The incurrence of indebtedness or other liabilities that will rank pari passu or senior to the Notes may reduce the amount available for interest payments and the amount recoverable by holders of the Notes.

The Issuer may defer interest payments on the Notes at its sole option.

The Issuer may elect, at its sole option, to defer the interest payable on the Notes on one or more occasions for up to five consecutive years as described under “Description of the Notes — Optional Interest Deferral”, with deferred interest accruing until paid. There is no limit on the number of Deferral Periods that may occur. Such deferral will not constitute an Event of Default or any other breach under the Notes and the Indenture. While the deferral of interest payments continues, the Issuer and the Guarantors may make payments on any Issuer Senior Indebtedness and Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, respectively. In addition, the terms of any Issuer Senior Indebtedness and/or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness may operate to restrict the Issuer’s ability to pay interest on the Notes or a Guarantor’s ability to make payments on its Guarantee.

To the extent a secondary market develops for the Notes, any deferral of payments of interest on the Notes is likely to have an adverse effect on the market price of the Notes. As a result of the Issuer’s deferral right, or if investors perceive that there is a likelihood that the Issuer will exercise its deferral right, the market for the Notes may become less active or be discontinued during such a deferral period, and the market price of the Notes may be more volatile than the market prices of other securities in respect of which accrued interest or distributions may not be deferred and the market price of the Notes may be more sensitive generally to adverse changes in the financial condition of the Issuer or the Guarantors. If the Issuer does decide to defer interest payments on the Notes and you sell your Notes during the period of that deferral, you may not receive the same return on your

S-22

investment as a holder that continues to hold its Notes until the Issuer pays the deferred interest at the end of the applicable deferral period. For more information, please see “Description of the Notes — Optional Interest Deferral.”

There is no assurance that an active trading market will develop in the Notes.

The Notes will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The Issuer intends to apply for listing of the Notes on the NYSE. Listing will be subject to the Issuer fulfilling all the listing requirements of the NYSE. Although the Issuer expects to receive such approval, there can be no assurance that the Notes will be accepted for listing on the NYSE. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained or that the Notes may be resold at or above the initial public offering price. The ability of a holder to pledge Notes or otherwise take action with respect to such holder’s interest in Notes (other than through The Depository Trust Company and its direct and indirect participants) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.

In addition, one or more of the underwriters may sell to an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management up to approximately $         Notes at the public offering price. This concentration in ownership may have an adverse effect on the price and liquidity of the trading market of the Notes, which may adversely affect your investment in the Notes.

Prevailing market interest rates may adversely affect the value of the Notes.

The market price or value of the Notes may decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments rise, and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline. We have no control over a number of factors, including economic, financial and political events, that impact market fluctuations in interest rates, which have in the past and may in the future experience volatility.

A change in the rating of the Notes could adversely affect the market price of the Notes.

In connection with this offering, we expect that the Notes will receive a rating from S&P Global Ratings (or any of its subsidiaries or any successor in business thereto from time to time). Rating agencies revise their ratings from time to time and could lower or withdraw any rating issued with respect to the Notes. Any real or anticipated downgrade or withdrawal of any ratings of the Notes could have an adverse effect on the market price or liquidity of the Notes.

Ratings reflect only the views of the issuing rating agency or agencies and are not recommendations to purchase, sell or hold any particular security, including the Notes, and there is no assurance that any rating will apply for any given period of time or that a rating may not be adjusted or withdrawn. In addition, ratings do not reflect market prices or suitability of a security for a particular investor, and any future rating of the Notes may not reflect all risks related to the Partnership and its business or the structure or market value of the Notes. A downgrade or potential downgrade in the rating, the assignment of a new rating that is lower than the existing rating, or a downgrade or potential downgrade in the rating assigned to us, our subsidiaries, the Notes or any of our other securities could adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of the Notes.

We cannot be sure that any rating agency will maintain its rating once issued. Neither we nor any underwriter undertakes any obligation to obtain a rating, maintain the rating once issued or to advise holders of Notes of any change in ratings. A negative change in a rating once issued could have an adverse effect on the market price or liquidity of the Notes.

Rating agencies may change rating methodologies, and their ratings may not reflect all risks.

The rating agencies that currently or may in the future publish a rating for the Partnership, the Issuer or the Notes may from time to time in the future change the methodologies that they use for analyzing securities with

S-23

features similar to the Notes. If the rating agencies change their practices for rating securities in the future, and the ratings of the Notes are subsequently lowered, the trading price and liquidity of the Notes could be adversely affected.

In addition, credit ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional factors discussed above and incorporated by reference herein and other factors that may affect the value of the Notes. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time. In addition, after the occurrence of a Rating Event, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes. See “Description of the Notes — Redemption — Optional Redemption Upon a Ratings Event.”

The Notes will have limited events of default.

Under the terms of the Indenture, the events of default in relation to the Notes will be limited to the events of default set forth in the section entitled “Description of the Notes — Events of Default” below. The events of default under the Notes are more limited than those typically available to our unsubordinated creditors. An event of default under the Notes occurs only if the Issuer defaults (i) on the payment of principal or premium or Additional Amounts (as defined below), if any, when due and payable, or (ii) on the payment of interest (including Additional Amounts) when due and payable and such default continues for 30 days. For further detail regarding the remedies available to the U.S. Trustee and the noteholders, see “Description of the Notes — Events of Default”. There are no Events of Default in the event of a bankruptcy of the Issuer or any Guarantor.

Should the Issuer default on the Notes, or should the Guarantors default on the Guarantees, your right to receive payments on such Notes or Guarantees may be adversely affected by applicable foreign insolvency laws.

The Issuer is incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada, Can Holdco and BIPC Holdings are incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada, and the Partnership, BILP and Bermuda Holdco are either formed or incorporated under the laws of Bermuda. Accordingly, insolvency proceedings with respect to the Issuer or the Guarantors (other than US Holdco) may not proceed under United States law and may instead proceed under foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) insolvency laws. The procedural and substantive provisions of such foreign insolvency laws may generally be more favorable to secured creditors or senior creditors than comparable provisions of United States law. In particular, such foreign insolvency laws may afford debtors, unsecured and subordinated creditors more limited protection than U.S. insolvency laws from the claims of secured or senior creditors and it may not be possible for the Issuer or the Guarantors (other than US Holdco) or unsecured or subordinated creditors to prevent or materially delay secured or senior creditors from enforcing their rights and remedies at law and under their loan and security documents.

Noteholders will only have rights as equity holders in the event of insolvency.

In the event of the occurrence of the Automatic Exchange, with the result that the holders of Notes receives Exchange Preferred Units on exchange of such Notes, the only claim or entitlement of such holders will be in their capacity as preferred unitholders of the Partnership. See “Description of the Notes — Automatic Exchange” and “— Risks Relating to the Exchange Preferred Units — The Exchange Preferred Units will be treated as equity in the event of an insolvency or winding-up of the Partnership.”

Additional Risks Relating to the Exchange Preferred Units

The declaration of distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units will be at the discretion of the General Partner.

Holders of Exchange Preferred Units will not have a right to distributions on such units unless declared by the General Partner. The declaration of distributions will be at the discretion of the General Partner even if the

S-24

Partnership has sufficient funds, net of its liabilities, to pay such distributions. This may result in holders of the Exchange Preferred Units not receiving the scheduled distributions that they expect to receive, or any distributions, and may make it more difficult to resell Exchange Preferred Units or to do so at a price that the holders find attractive. The General Partner will not allow the Partnership to pay a distribution (i) unless there is sufficient cash available, (ii) which would render the Partnership unable to pay its debts as and when they come due, or (iii) which, in the opinion of the General Partner, would or might leave the Partnership with insufficient funds to meet any future or contingent obligations. In addition, although unpaid distributions are cumulative, we are not required to accumulate cash for purpose of making distributions to holders of the Existing Preferred Units (as defined below), Exchange Preferred Units or any other preferred units we may issue, which may limit the cash available to make distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units.

The Exchange Preferred Units have limited voting rights.

Except as set forth in our Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (as supplemented or amended from time to time, our “Partnership Agreement”) or as otherwise required by Bermuda law, and except as described in “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Exchange Preferred Units — Voting Rights,” holders of the Exchange Preferred Units generally will have no voting rights. For example, the Partnership may sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or a series of related transactions without the approval of holders of the Exchange Preferred Units. Although the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units are entitled to limited protective voting rights with respect to certain matters, as described in “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Exchange Preferred Units — Voting Rights,” the Exchange Preferred Units will generally vote as a separate class, or along with all other classes or series of our Exchange Unit Parity Securities, including the Existing Preferred Units or other preferred units that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable. As a result, the voting rights of holders of Exchange Preferred Units may be significantly diluted, and the holders of such other classes or series of Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) that we have issued, or may issue in the future, may be able to control or significantly influence the outcome of any vote.

The Exchange Preferred Units will be treated as equity in the event of an insolvency or winding-up of the Partnership.

The Exchange Preferred Units will not constitute indebtedness and will be equity capital of the Partnership which rank junior to all indebtedness and other non-equity claims and equally with the other outstanding series of the Class A Preferred Units in the event of an insolvency or winding-up of the Partnership. If the Partnership becomes insolvent or is wound up, the Partnership’s assets must be used to pay liabilities and other debt before payments may be made on the Exchange Preferred Units and other preferred units of the Partnership, if any.

The Exchange Preferred Units will not have a fixed maturity date.

The Exchange Preferred Units will not have a fixed maturity date and will not be redeemable at the option of the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units. The ability of a holder to liquidate its holdings of Exchange Preferred Units may be limited.

There is currently no market for the Exchange Preferred Units.

There may be no market through which the Exchange Preferred Units may be sold and purchasers of Notes that are subsequently exchanged into Exchange Preferred Units may not be able to resell the Exchange Preferred Units. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Exchange Preferred Units following the issuance of any of those units, or if developed, that such a market will be liquid. The Partnership is under no obligation to list the Exchange Preferred Units on any stock exchange or other market. The price paid for each Note may bear no relationship to the price at which the Exchange Preferred Units issuable on exchange of the Notes may trade.

S-25

The market value of the Exchange Preferred Units may fluctuate.

The market value of the Exchange Preferred Units may fluctuate due to a variety of factors relative to the Partnership’s business. There can be no assurance that the market value of the Exchange Preferred Units will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Partnership’s performance. Prevailing yields on similar securities will affect the market value of the Exchange Preferred Units. In addition, the market value of the Exchange Preferred Units will be significantly adversely affected in the event that distributions are not paid on such units. See “Risks Relating to the Exchange Preferred Units — The right of holders of Exchange Preferred Units to receive distributions is subject to the discretion of the Partnership’s board of directors.”

The Exchange Preferred Units will represent perpetual interests in us, and investors should not expect us to redeem any Exchange Preferred Units on the date the Exchange Preferred Units become redeemable by us or on any particular date thereafter.

The Exchange Preferred Units will represent perpetual interests in us, will have no maturity or mandatory redemption date and will not be redeemable at the option of investors under any circumstances. As a result, unlike our indebtedness, none of the Exchange Preferred Units will give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date. Instead, the Exchange Preferred Units will be redeemable by us at our option from time to time (in whole or in part) after     , 2026 at our election, and prior to         , 2026 upon the occurrence of certain events, in each case in accordance with our rights described under “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Exchange Preferred Units — Redemption.” While we may redeem the Exchange Preferred Units, we are under no obligation to do so, and may from time to time be restricted contractually from doing so. As a result, the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units may be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the Exchange Preferred Units for an indefinite period of time.

The Exchange Preferred Units will be structurally subordinated to our existing and future debt obligations and Exchange Unit Senior Securities as well as existing and future debt obligations of our subsidiaries and any capital stock of our subsidiaries held by others, including on Existing Canadian Preferred Units to the extent of the guarantees thereof.

The Exchange Preferred Units will rank junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness and Exchange Unit Senior Securities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against us, and rank pari passu in right of payment with every other class or series of Class A Preferred Units (including the Existing Preferred Units) and any other class or series of partnership interest that ranks equally with the Class A Preferred Units. As of March 31, 2021, our total consolidated debt, including amounts borrowed under our corporate credit facilities, was approximately $21,853 million, and we had the ability to borrow an additional $2,544 million under our corporate credit facilities, subject to certain limitations. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, we had 49,867,650 Existing Canadian Preferred Units issued and outstanding, each with a liquidation preference of C$25.00 per unit, and each of the Existing Canadian Preferred Units has the benefit of a guarantee by BIPC Holdings as to the payment of distributions when due, the payment of amounts due upon redemption, and the payment of amounts due upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership (the “BIPC Guarantee”). See “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Class A Preferred Units — Series.” Payments made in respect of our debt and any Exchange Unit Senior Securities will reduce the cash available for distribution to the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units. In addition, the Exchange Preferred Units will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries and any capital stock of our subsidiaries held by others. In addition, notwithstanding that the Existing Canadian Preferred Units are guaranteed by BIPC Holdings and future series of Class A Preferred Units may be similarly guaranteed, neither BIPC Holdings nor any of the Partnership’s subsidiaries will guarantee, or otherwise has become obligated with respect to, the Exchange Preferred Units.

Accordingly, BIPC Holdings will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, in respect of any Exchange Preferred Units and the Exchange Preferred Units will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and equity obligations of BIPC Holdings.

S-26

Our ability to issue additional Exchange Unit Parity Securities and Exchange Unit Senior Securities, and our ability to incur additional indebtedness, in the future could adversely affect the rights of holders of our Exchange Preferred Units.

The Exchange Preferred Units will rank pari passu in right of payment with the Existing Preferred Units and any other Exchange Unit Parity Securities. We are allowed to issue additional Exchange Unit Parity Securities without any vote of the holders of the Existing Preferred Units and/or the Exchange Preferred Units, and we may issue Exchange Unit Senior Securities if we have received the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Class A Preferred Units. The issuance of any additional Exchange Unit Parity Securities would dilute the interests of the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units. Furthermore, the issuance of any Exchange Unit Senior Securities or additional Exchange Unit Parity Securities could affect our ability to pay distributions on, redeem, or pay the liquidation preference on the Exchange Preferred Units if we do not have sufficient funds to pay all liquidation preferences of any Exchange Unit Senior Securities, the Existing Preferred Units, the Exchange Preferred Units and any other Exchange Unit Parity Securities in full. In addition, future issuances and sales of Exchange Unit Senior Securities or Exchange Unit Parity Securities, or the perception that such issuances and sales could occur, may cause prevailing market prices for the Exchange Preferred Units to decline.

In addition, the terms of the Exchange Preferred Units do not limit our ability to incur indebtedness. Although some of the agreements governing our existing indebtedness contain restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of important exceptions and the indebtedness we could incur in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. As a result, we and our subsidiaries may incur indebtedness that will rank senior to the Exchange Preferred Units. The incurrence of indebtedness or other liabilities that will rank senior to the Exchange Preferred Units may reduce the amount available for distributions and the amount recoverable by holders of Exchange Preferred Units.

The terms of our current and future indebtedness may restrict our ability to make distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units or to redeem the Exchange Preferred Units.

Distributions will only be paid if the distribution is not restricted or prohibited by law or the terms of any Exchange Unit Senior Securities or of our current and future indebtedness. The instruments governing the terms of current or future indebtedness may restrict our ability to make distributions on the Partnership interests that may, directly or indirectly, negatively affect our ability to make distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units or redeem the Exchange Preferred Units. For example, our credit facilities would prohibit such distributions if we are in default under those facilities. The Exchange Preferred Units place no restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness containing such restrictive covenants.

Market interest rates may adversely affect the value of the Exchange Preferred Units.

One of the factors that may influence the price of the Exchange Preferred Units will be the distribution yield on the Exchange Preferred Units (as a percentage of the price of the Exchange Preferred Units) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates may lead holders of the Exchange Preferred Units to expect a higher distribution yield, and higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distribution to our limited partners, including the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units. Accordingly, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of the Exchange Preferred Units to decrease.

We have no control over a number of factors, including economic, financial and political events, that impact market fluctuations in interest rates, which have in the past and may in the future experience volatility.

Under certain circumstances, the terms of the Exchange Preferred Units may change without your consent or approval.

Under the terms of the Exchange Preferred Units, at any time following a Tax Change in Tax Law for Exchange Preferred Units, we may, without the consent of any holders of the Exchange Preferred Units, vary the

S-27

terms of the Exchange Preferred Units such that they remain securities, which would eliminate the substantial probability that we or any Successor Entity (as defined below) would be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to the Exchange Preferred Units as a result of a Change in Tax Law for Exchange Preferred Units (as defined under “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Exchange Preferred Units — Redemption”). However, our exercise of this right is subject to certain conditions, including that the terms considered in the aggregate cannot be less favorable to holders of the Exchange Preferred Units than the terms of the Exchange Preferred Units prior to being varied. See “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Exchange Preferred Units — Variation”.

Holders of Exchange Preferred Units may have liability to repay distributions.

Under certain circumstances, holders of the Exchange Preferred Units may have to repay amounts wrongfully returned or distributed to them. Under Section 11 of the Bermuda Limited Partnership Act 1883, as amended (“LP Act”), we may not return (or release) any part of a limited partner’s capital contribution (a “Capital Withdrawal”) nor make a distribution from the assets of the Partnership if we have reasonable grounds for believing that the Capital Withdrawal or distribution would cause us to be unable to repay our liabilities as they become due (“Impermissible Capital Withdrawal”).

Bermuda law provides that for a period of six years from the date of an Impermissible Capital Withdrawal, limited partners who received the Impermissible Capital Withdrawal will be liable to the limited partnership (or where the partnership is dissolved to its creditors) for the amount of the contribution wrongfully returned or released. Bermuda law also provides that for a period of one year from the date of a Capital Withdrawal made in accordance with the provisions of the LP Act, a limited partner who received the Capital Withdrawal will be liable to the limited partnership (or where the partnership is dissolved to its creditors) for the amount of the contribution returned or released.

A holder of Exchange Preferred Units who becomes a limited partner is liable for the obligations of the transferring limited partner to make contributions to us that are known to such purchaser of Exchange Preferred Units at the time it became a limited partner and for unknown obligations if the liabilities could be determined from our Partnership Agreement.

Tax Risks

The tax treatment of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain.

The treatment of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes is uncertain. The determination of whether an instrument is properly treated as indebtedness or equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes is based on all the relevant facts and circumstances at the time the instrument is issued. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of an instrument with terms that are substantially identical to the terms of the Notes. In the absence of authority directly addressing the proper treatment of instruments such as the Notes, to the extent required to do so, we intend to treat the Notes as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we will not request any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the treatment of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the IRS or a court may conclude that the Notes should be treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If the Notes are recharacterized as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax consequences to an investor in Notes may be materially different from the consequences of owning an instrument treated as debt. In particular, because the Issuer is disregarded as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the event of recharacterization, the Notes would be treated as equity interests in a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In such case, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Notes generally are expected to be substantially similar to the consequences of owning and disposing of Exchange Preferred Units, as described below under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Exchange Preferred Units.” Prospective investors are urged

S-28

to consult their tax advisers as to the proper characterization of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as the tax consequences of any alternative characterization.

The deferral of interest payments on the Notes may result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors.

If the Issuer defers interest payments on the Notes for one or more optional Deferral Periods, the Notes would be treated as issued with original issue discount (“OID”) at the time of deferral, and all stated interest due after such deferral would be treated as OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Consequently, a U.S. investor would be required to include interest income as it accrues using a constant yield method, regardless of such investor’s method of accounting, and before such investor receives any payment attributable to such income. The calculation of the amount of such accruals may be complex, and therefore U.S. investors should consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences if the Notes were treated as issued (or deemed reissued) with OID. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

S-29

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to the Issuer from the offering (after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), will be approximately $                million (or $                million if the underwriters exercise the Over-Allotment Option in full).

We intend for the net proceeds of this offering to be used for the redemption of the Partnership’s Class A Preferred Units, Series 5, which are redeemable by the Partnership on September 30, 2021, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes. Pending the allocation of a portion of the net proceeds of the Notes to redeem the Class A Preferred Units, Series 5, the unallocated portion of the net proceeds may be temporarily used for the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness. As of March 31, 2021, approximately C$250 million of BIP’s Class A Preferred Units, Series 5, were outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The Issuer will issue $         aggregate principal amount of         % Subordinated Notes due 2081 under an indenture, to be dated as of the date the Notes are originally issued (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Partnership, BILP, Bermuda Holdco, Can Holdco, US Holdco and BIPC Holdings, as guarantors, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “U.S. Trustee”) and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Canadian Trustee”), as trustees (together, the “Trustees”), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture, to be dated as of the date the Notes are originally issued (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Partnership, BILP, Bermuda Holdco, Can Holdco, US Holdco and BIPC Holdings, as guarantors, and the Trustees. The Indenture and the U.S. Trustee are subject to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The U.S. Trustee will initially act as paying agent for the Notes.

The following is a summary of the material rights, privileges, restrictions, obligations and conditions attaching to the Notes and certain provisions of the Indenture and is intended to supplement, and to the extent inconsistent, to replace, the more general terms and provisions of the debt securities described in the accompanying base prospectus to which we refer you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Indenture and the Notes. You should read the Indenture and the Notes in their entirety. Copies of the Indenture and the Notes may be obtained upon request to the Partnership at the address set forth under “Documents Incorporated by Reference.”

For information concerning the Exchange Preferred Units into which the Notes are exchangeable upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and related events as described under “— Automatic Exchange” below, see “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units.” Unless otherwise indicated, defined terms used in this section apply only to this “Description of the Notes” section and the “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units” section and not to any other sections of this prospectus supplement.

General

The Notes will be unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer and will initially be limited to $         aggregate principal amount, all of which will be issued under the Indenture. The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by the Partnership, and will also be guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by each of BILP, Bermuda Holdco, Can Holdco, US Holdco and BIPC Holdings (such guarantees, collectively, the “Guarantees”).

The Notes will mature on      , 2081 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes will bear interest at the rate of         % per annum from , 2021 (the “Issue Date”), or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable quarterly in arrears in equal installments on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2021 (each such quarterly date, an “Interest Payment Date”), subject to Optional Interest Deferral as described below in “— Optional Interest Deferral”. Subject to Optional Interest Deferral as described below in “— Optional Interest Deferral,” the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will be in the amount of $             per $25 principal amount of Notes.

Interest for each interest period from the Issue Date will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), and without affecting the interest payable on the Notes, whenever the interest rate on the Notes is to be calculated on the basis of a period of less than a calendar year, the yearly interest rate equivalent for such interest rate will be the interest rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by 360.

Interest payments will be made to the persons or entities in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on         ,         ,         , and (in each case, whether or not a business day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next business day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement.

S-32

Further Issuance

The Notes will constitute a new series of Securities (for purposes of this “Description of Notes”, as defined in the accompanying base prospectus) under the Indenture, initially limited to $         in aggregate principal amount. Under the Indenture the Issuer may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, “reopen” the series of Securities of which the Notes are a part and issue additional notes of such series from time to time in the future. The Notes offered by this Prospectus Supplement and any additional notes of such series that we may issue in the future will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture; provided that if such additional notes are not fungible with the original Notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such additional notes will be issued with a separate CUSIP or ISIN number so that they are distinguishable from the original Notes. This means that, in circumstances in which the Indenture provides for the holders of Securities of any series to vote or take any other action as a single class, the Notes offered hereby and any additional notes of such series of notes that we may issue by reopening such series will vote or take that action as a single class.

Specified Denominations

The Notes will be issued only in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.

Deferral Right

So long as no Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may elect, at its sole option, at any date other than an Interest Payment Date, to defer the interest payable on the Notes on one or more occasions for up to five consecutive years (a “Deferral Period”). There is no limit on the number of Deferral Periods that may occur. Any such deferral will not constitute an Event of Default or any other breach under the Indenture and the Notes. Deferred interest will accrue until paid. A Deferral Period terminates on any Interest Payment Date on which the Issuer pays all accrued and unpaid interest on such date. No Deferral Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date.

The Issuer will give the holders of the Notes written notice of its election to commence or continue a Deferral Period at least 10 and not more than 60 days before the next Interest Payment Date.

Distribution Stopper Undertaking

Unless the Issuer has paid all interest that has been deferred or is then payable on the Notes, neither the Issuer nor the Partnership will:

(i) declare any distributions or dividends on the Distribution Restricted Securities or pay any interest on any Parity Indebtedness (other than dividends or distributions in the form of stock or units, respectively, on the Distribution Restricted Securities);

(ii) redeem, purchase or otherwise retire any Distribution Restricted Securities or Parity Indebtedness (except (a) with respect to Distribution Restricted Securities or Parity Indebtedness, out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue of Distribution Restricted Securities or Parity Indebtedness or (b) pursuant to any purchase obligation, sinking fund, retraction privilege or mandatory redemption provisions attaching to any series of Distribution Restricted Securities); or

(iii) make any payment to holders of any of the Distribution Restricted Securities or any Parity Indebtedness in respect of distributions or dividends not declared or paid on such Distribution Restricted Securities or interest not paid on such Parity Indebtedness, respectively (the “Distribution Stopper Undertaking”).

provided that the foregoing clauses (i) and (iii) shall not apply in respect of any pro rata dividend or distribution or any other payment on any Parity Indebtedness which is made with a pro rata payment of any accrued and payable interest with respect to the Notes.

S-33

“Distribution Restricted Securities” means the partnership units of the Partnership and all equity issued by the Issuer.

“Parity Indebtedness” means any class or series of the Partnership’s indebtedness currently outstanding or hereafter created which ranks on a parity with the Partnership’s guarantee of the Notes (prior to any Automatic Exchange) as to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

Automatic Exchange

The Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be exchanged automatically (the “Automatic Exchange”), without the consent of the holders thereof, into units of a newly issued series of Class A Preferred Units, being Class A Limited Partnership Units, Series 15 (the “Exchange Preferred Units”) upon the occurrence of: (i) the making by the Issuer of a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or a proposal (or the filing of a notice of its intention to do so) under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada); (ii) any proceeding instituted by the Issuer and/or the Partnership seeking to adjudicate them as bankrupt (including any voluntary assignment in bankruptcy) or insolvent or, where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are insolvent, seeking liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, compromise, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of their debts under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada or Bermuda (as applicable), or seeking the entry of an order for the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official for the Issuer and/or the Partnership or in respect of all or any substantial part of their property and assets in circumstances where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are adjudged as bankrupt (including any voluntary assignment in bankruptcy) or insolvent; (iii) a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official is appointed over the Issuer and/or the Partnership or for all or substantially all of their property and assets by a court of competent jurisdiction in circumstances where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are adjudged as bankrupt (including any voluntary assignment in bankruptcy) or insolvent under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada; or (iv) any proceeding is instituted against the Issuer and/or the Partnership seeking to adjudicate them as bankrupt (including any voluntary assignment in bankruptcy) or insolvent, or where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are insolvent, seeking liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, compromise, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of their debts under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada or Bermuda (as applicable), or seeking the entry of an order for the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee or other similar official for the Issuer and/or the Partnership or in respect of all or a substantial part of their property and assets in circumstances where the Issuer and/or the Partnership are adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent under any law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency in Canada or Bermuda (as applicable), and in any such case, such proceeding has not been stayed or dismissed within 60 days of the institution of any such proceeding or the actions sought in such proceedings occur (including the entry of an order for relief against the Issuer and/or the Partnership or the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, trustee, or other similar official for them or for all or substantially all of their property and assets) (each, an “Automatic Exchange Event”).

Holders of the Exchange Preferred Units will be entitled to receive cumulative preferential cash distributions, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “Board of Directors”) subject to applicable law, at the same rate as would have accrued on the Notes (had the Notes remained outstanding) as described under “— Interest and Maturity”, payable on each quarterly distribution payment date, subject to any applicable withholding tax. See “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units.”

The Automatic Exchange shall occur upon an Automatic Exchange Event (the “Exchange Time”). As of the Exchange Time, noteholders will have the right to receive one Exchange Preferred Unit for each $25 principal amount of Notes held together with the number of Exchange Preferred Units (including fractional units, if applicable) calculated by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes, by $25. Such right will be automatically exercised, and the Notes shall be automatically exchanged, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, into the newly-issued series of fully-paid Exchange Preferred Units. At such time, all outstanding Notes shall be deemed to be immediately and automatically surrendered without need for further

S-34

action by noteholders, who shall thereupon automatically cease to be holders of Notes and all rights of each such holder as a debtholder of the Issuer and as a beneficiary of the subordinated guarantees by the Guarantors shall automatically cease.

Upon an Automatic Exchange of the Notes, the Partnership reserves the right not to issue some or all of the Exchange Preferred Units to Ineligible Persons. In such circumstances, the Partnership will hold all Exchange Preferred Units that would otherwise be delivered to Ineligible Persons as agent for such Ineligible Persons, and will attempt to facilitate the sale of such units through a registered broker or dealer retained by the Partnership for the purpose of effecting the sale (to parties other than the Partnership, its affiliates or other Ineligible Persons) on behalf of such Ineligible Persons of such Exchange Preferred Units. Such sales, if any, may be made at any time and any price. The Partnership will not be subject to any liability for failing to sell Exchange Preferred Units on behalf of any such Ineligible Persons or at any particular price on any particular day. The net proceeds received by the Partnership from the sale of any such Exchange Preferred Units will be divided among the Ineligible Persons in proportion to the number of Exchange Preferred Units that would otherwise have been delivered to them, after deducting the costs of sale and any applicable Taxes or withholding on account of Taxes, if any. The Partnership will make payment of the aggregate net proceeds to The Depository Trust Company (the “Clearing Agency”) (if the Notes are then held in the book-entry only system) or to the registrar and transfer agent for the Notes (in all other cases) for distribution to such Ineligible Persons in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Clearing Agency or otherwise.

“Ineligible Person” means any person whose address is in, or whom the Partnership or its transfer agent has reason to believe is a resident of, any jurisdiction outside of the United States to the extent that: (i) the issuance or delivery by the Partnership to such person, upon an Automatic Exchange of Exchange Preferred Units, would require the Partnership to take any action to comply with securities or analogous laws of such jurisdiction; or (ii) withholding tax would be applicable in connection with the delivery to such person of Exchange Preferred Units upon an Automatic Exchange.

As a precondition to the delivery of any certificate or other evidence of issuance representing any Exchange Preferred Units or related rights following an Automatic Exchange, the Partnership may require a holder of Notes (and persons holding Notes represented by such holder of Notes) to deliver a declaration, in form and substance satisfactory to the Partnership, confirming compliance with any applicable regulatory requirements to establish that such holder of Notes is not, and does not represent, an Ineligible Person.

As the events that give rise to an Automatic Exchange are bankruptcy and related events, it is in the interest of the Issuer and the Partnership to ensure that an Automatic Exchange does not occur, although the events that could give rise to an Automatic Exchange may be beyond the Issuer’s and the Partnership’s control.

Redemption Right

On or after             , 2026, the Issuer may, at its option, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 15 days’ notice to the holders of the Notes, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time. The redemption price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. Notice of redemption shall be irrevocable and on the redemption date, the Notes subject to redemption shall become due and payable at the redemption price, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Notes that are redeemed shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued.

Redemption on Tax Event

At any time, after the occurrence of a Tax Event, subject to applicable laws, the Issuer may, at its option, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 15 days’ notice to the holders of the Notes, redeem the Notes (in whole but

S-35

not in part) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant redemption date.

A “Tax Event” means the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) has received an opinion of counsel of nationally recognized standing experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of (i) any amendment or change to the laws (or any regulations or rulings thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined below) or any applicable tax treaty or (ii) any change in the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties (including any judicial decision rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties), in each case of (i) and (ii), by any legislative body, court, governmental authority or agency, regulatory body or taxing authority, which amendment or change is effective on or after the issue date of the Notes (or if the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction has changed since the issue date of the Notes, the date on which the applicable jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such amendment or change made on or after the issue date of the Notes (or the date on which the applicable jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as applicable) that has retroactive effect to a date prior to the issue date of the Notes (or the date on which the applicable jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as applicable)), either: (a) the Issuer is, or may be, subject to more than a de minimis amount of additional taxes, duties or other governmental charges or civil liabilities because the treatment of any of its items of income, taxable income, expense, taxable capital or taxable paid-up capital with respect to the Notes, as or as would be reflected in any tax return or form filed, to be filed, or that otherwise could have been filed, will not be respected by a taxing authority (excluding as a result of any limitation on the deductibility of interest on the Notes as a result of any EBITDA, tax EBITDA, or other similar earnings or income-based limit on interest deductibility) or (b) the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) has been or will be on the next Interest Payment Date obligated to pay Additional Amounts and neither the Issuer or Guarantor (as applicable) can avoid such obligation by taking commercially reasonable measures to avoid it.

Redemption on Rating Event

At any time following the occurrence of a Rating Event, the Issuer may, at its option, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 15 days’ notice to the holders of the Notes, redeem the Notes (in whole but not in part) at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

A “Rating Event” shall be deemed to occur if any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that publishes a rating for the Notes (each a “Rating Agency”) following the initial rating of the Notes by such Rating Agency, amends, clarifies or changes the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the Notes, which amendment, clarification or change results in (a) the shortening of the length of time the Notes are assigned a particular level of equity credit by that Rating Agency as compared to the length of time the Notes would have been assigned that level of equity credit by that Rating Agency or its predecessor on the initial rating of the Notes by such Rating Agency; or (b) the lowering of the equity credit (including up to a lesser amount) assigned to the Notes by that Rating Agency compared to the equity credit assigned by that Rating Agency or its predecessor on the initial rating of the Notes by such Rating Agency.

Rank and Subordination

The Notes will be direct unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer. The obligations of the Issuer under the Notes will be contractually subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Issuer Senior Indebtedness. The payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest and certain other amounts on the Notes will rank senior to all obligations of the Issuer in respect of its own equity and in respect of equity (including preferred equity) that has been issued by any Guarantor (including pursuant to any guarantee by the Issuer of the existing equity obligations of any such person) but will be subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Issuer Senior Indebtedness. The obligations of the Issuer under the Notes will be structurally subordinate

S-36

to all indebtedness and obligations of the Issuer’s subsidiaries. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the Issuer had no subsidiaries.

“Issuer Senior Indebtedness” means all principal, interest, premium, fees and other amounts owing on, under or in respect of:

• all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Issuer, whether outstanding on the issue date of the Notes or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed; and

• all renewals, extensions, restructurings, refinancings and refundings of any such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations;

except that Issuer Senior Indebtedness will not include the obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Notes, all liabilities and obligations of the Issuer in respect of any equity (including any preferred equity) that has been issued by any Guarantor and all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Issuer that, pursuant to the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, are stated to rank pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes.

As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate Issuer Senior Indebtedness totaled approximately $2.1 billion.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each Guarantor on a subordinated and joint and several basis, as to payment of principal, premium (if any), interest and certain other amounts. The obligations of each Guarantor under its guarantee will be contractually subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and structurally subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness and obligations of its respective subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries that are the Issuer or other Guarantors). The obligations of each Guarantor under its guarantee will rank senior to all obligations of such Guarantor in respect of its own equity and in respect of equity (including preferred equity) that has been issued by the Issuer, any other Guarantor or BIPIC (including pursuant to any guarantee by such Guarantor of the existing equity obligations of any such person), but will be subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. The obligations of each Guarantor under its guarantee will be structurally subordinate to all indebtedness and obligations of their subsidiaries.

“Guarantor Senior Indebtedness” means, in respect of any Guarantor, all principal, interest, premium, fees and other amounts owing on, under or in respect of:

• all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor, whether outstanding on the issue date of the Notes or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed (including any such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations that are guaranteed by each Guarantor (as applicable)); and

• all renewals, extensions, restructurings, refinancings and refundings of any such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations;

except that Guarantor Senior Indebtedness will not include the obligations of the Guarantor in respect of its guarantee of the Notes, the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any equity (including any preferred equity) that has been issued by any Guarantor or BIPIC, and all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor that, pursuant to the terms of an instrument creating or evidencing such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, are stated to rank pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to its guarantee of the Notes.

As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate Guarantor Senior Indebtedness totaled approximately $7.5 billion, $6.1 billion of which relates to intercompany loans payable to other subsidiaries of the Partnership.

In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of any Issuer Senior Indebtedness or any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, that is due and payable, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, shall have occurred and be continuing permitting the holders of such Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable (or the Trustees on behalf of the holders of such Issuer Senior Indebtedness or

S-37

Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable) to declare such Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless and until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and any such declaration and its consequences shall have been rescinded or annulled, then no payment may be made by the Issuer or the applicable Guarantors on account of the principal of, premium (if any), interest or any other amounts on the Notes or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of the Notes.

In the event that any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities, or other property, shall be received by the U.S. Trustee or any holder of Notes in contravention of the subordination provisions set out in the Indenture, such payment or distribution shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for applications to the payment of all Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all such Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, in full. In the event of the failure of the U.S. Trustee or any holder of Notes to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution, or any security or property related thereto, each holder of Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, will be irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.

Events of Default

An event of default in respect of the Notes will occur only if the Issuer defaults (i) on the payment of principal or premium or Additional Amounts, if any, when due and payable, or (ii) on the payment of interest (including Additional Amounts) when due and payable and such default continues for 30 days (subject to the Issuer’s right, at its sole option, to defer interest payments, as described under “Description of the Notes — Deferral Right”) (each, an “Event of Default”). There will be no right of acceleration in the case of a default in the performance of any other covenant of the Issuer or any Guarantor in the Indenture, although a legal action could be brought to enforce such covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, the events of default stated in this section shall be the only events of default applicable to the Notes.

If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have not already been automatically exchanged into Exchange Preferred Units, then the Issuer shall be deemed to be in default under the Indenture and the Notes and the Trustees may, in their discretion and shall upon the request of holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding, demand payment of the principal amount of the Notes, which shall immediately become due and payable in cash. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer and the Guarantors have covenanted that in case of such default, the U.S. Trustee may demand payment of the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and any premium and interest, and may institute legal proceedings for the collection of such aggregate amount in the event the Issuer and any Guarantor fails to make payment thereof upon such demand.

Additional Covenants

In addition to the Distribution Stopper Undertaking, the Partnership will covenant for the benefit of the holders of the Notes that it will not create or issue any Preferred LP Units which, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, would rank in right of payment in priority to the Exchange Preferred Units.

Merger, Amalgamation, Consolidation, Sale, Lease or Conveyance

Pursuant to the Indenture, neither the Issuer nor the Partnership (in each case for purposes of this paragraph, a “Predecessor”) shall enter into any transaction (whether by way of reorganization, reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale or otherwise) whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any other person (in each case for purposes of this paragraph, a “Successor”) unless: (a) the Predecessor and the Successor shall have executed, prior to or

S-38

contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, such instruments and done such things as, in the opinion of counsel, are necessary or advisable to establish that, upon the consummation of such transaction, (i) the Successor will have assumed all the covenants and obligations of the Predecessor under the Indenture in respect of the Notes, and in the case of the Partnership, its subordinated guarantee of the Notes and (ii) the Notes (or the guarantee of the Notes, as applicable) will be valid and binding obligations of the Successor, entitling the holders thereof, as against the Successor, to all the rights of holders of Notes under the Indenture; and (b) such transaction shall be on such terms and shall be carried out at such times and otherwise in such manner as shall not be prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Notes or to the rights and powers of the Trustees under the Indenture; provided, however, that such restrictions are not applicable to any transaction by or among the Issuer, the Partnership and/or any one or more of their subsidiaries.

In the event that any Successor is formed or organized outside of Canada or Bermuda, the applicable supplemental indenture in respect of such Successor shall include a provision for (i) the payment of Additional Amounts (as defined below) in the form substantially similar to that described in “— Payment of Additional Amounts” below, with such modifications (including to the definition of “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) as the Issuer, the Partnership and such Successor reasonably determine are customary and appropriate for U.S. noteholders to address then-applicable (or potentially applicable future) taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or other governmental charges imposed or levied by or on behalf of the applicable governmental authority in respect of payments made by such Successor under or with respect to the Notes, including any exceptions thereto as the Issuer, the Partnership and such Successor shall reasonably determine would be customary and appropriate for U.S. noteholders and (ii) the right of any issuer to redeem the Notes at 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon in the event that Additional Amounts become payable by a Successor in respect of the Notes as a result of any change in law or official position regarding the application or interpretation of any law that is announced or becomes effective after the date of such supplemental indenture.

Payment of Additional Amounts

All payments made by the Issuer or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (hereinafter, “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of Canada, Bermuda or of any province, territory, or jurisdiction thereof or therein or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If the Issuer or any Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made by it under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer or such Guarantor (as applicable) will pay such additional amounts (hereinafter “Additional Amounts”) in respect of each such payment (excluding one payment of quarterly interest, other than deferred interest, in connection with a redemption of the Notes in accordance with the provisions described above under “Redemption on Tax Event”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received (including Additional Amounts) by each holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to: (a) any payment to a holder or beneficial owner who is liable for such Taxes in respect of such note (i) by reason of such holder or beneficial owner, or any other person entitled to payments on the note, being a person with whom the Issuer or Guarantor does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act), (ii) by reason of the existence of any present or former connection between such holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) and Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein other than the mere ownership, or receiving payments under or enforcing any rights in respect of such note as a non-resident or deemed non-resident of Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein, or (iii) by reason of such holder or beneficial owner being a “specified shareholder” of the Issuer or not dealing at arm’s length with a “specified

S-39

shareholder” of the Issuer as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act; (b) any Tax that is levied or collected other than by withholding from payments on or in respect of the Notes; (c) any note presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of (i) the date on which such payment first becomes due or (ii) if the full amount of the monies payable has not been paid to the holders of the Notes on or prior to such date, the date on which the full amount of such monies has been paid to the holders of the Notes, except to the extent that the holder of the Notes would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presentation of the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days; (d) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar Tax; (e) any Tax imposed as a result of the failure of a holder or beneficial owner to comply with certification, identification, declaration or similar reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein of such holder or beneficial owner, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation, as a precondition to reduction of, or exemption, from such Tax; (f) any (i) withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“FATCA”), or any successor version thereof, or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority, or (ii) tax or penalty arising from the holder’s or beneficial owner’s failure to properly comply with the holder’s or beneficial owner’s obligations imposed under the Canada-United States Enhanced Tax Information Exchange Agreement Implementation Act (Canada) or any treaty, law or regulation or other official guidance enacted by Canada implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement with respect to FATCA or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority, including, for greater certainty, Part XVIII and Part XIX of the Tax Act; or (g) any combination of the foregoing clauses (a) to (f).

The Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) will also (1) make such withholding or deduction and (2) remit the full amount deducted or withheld by it to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) will furnish to the holders of the Notes, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes by it is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by it. The Issuer and the Guarantors will indemnify and hold harmless each holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) and, upon written request, will reimburse each such holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) for the amount of (i) any Taxes (other than any Taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above) levied or imposed and paid by such holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder) as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes which have not been withheld or deducted and remitted by the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) in accordance with applicable law, (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (iii) any Taxes (other than any Taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above) imposed with respect to any reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii) above, but excluding any such Taxes on such holder’s (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such holder’s) net income.

Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), redemption amount, purchase price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The Trustees and the Paying Agent

The “Place of Payment” for the Notes will be at the address of the U.S. Trustee, currently located at 6200 S. Quebec St., Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111. The Trustees have not participated in the preparation of this prospectus supplement or makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or validity of the information contained herein.

Governing Law

The Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture will be governed by the laws of the state of New York.

S-40

Book-Entry Only Form

Upon issuance, the Notes will be represented by one or more fully registered global securities (the “Global Securities”) registered in the name of Cede & Co. (the Clearing Agency), or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of the Clearing Agency. The authorized denominations of each Note will be $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof. Accordingly, the Notes may be transferred or exchanged only through the Clearing Agency and its Participants (as defined below). Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Securities will not be entitled to receive the Notes in definitive form.

Beneficial interests in the Notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect Participants in the Clearing Agency. Holders of the Notes may elect to hold interests in the Notes in book-entry form through either the Clearing Agency in the U.S. or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”), or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”), if they are participants in those systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in those systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of the Clearing Agency.

Each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Security must rely on the procedures of the Clearing Agency and, if such person is not a Participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest in order to exercise any rights of a holder under the Indenture. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in certificated form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security representing the Notes.

The following is based on information furnished by the Clearing Agency:

The Clearing Agency is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the U.S. Exchange Act. The Clearing Agency holds securities that its Participants deposit with the Clearing Agency. The Clearing Agency also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. These direct Participants (“Direct Participants”) include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. The Clearing Agency is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for the Clearing Agency, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the Clearing Agency’s system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”, and together with the Direct Participants, “Participants”). The rules applicable to the Clearing Agency and its Participants are on file with the SEC.

Purchases of the Notes under the Clearing Agency’s system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for such Notes on the Clearing Agency’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Note represented by a Global Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct Participants’ and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from the Clearing Agency of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from

S-41

the Direct Participants or Indirect Participants through which such Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in a Global Security representing the Notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners of a Global Security representing the Notes will not receive the Notes in definitive form representing their ownership interests therein, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for such Notes is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, the Global Securities representing the Notes which are deposited with the Clearing Agency are registered in the name of the Clearing Agency’s nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of the Clearing Agency. The deposit of Global Securities with the Clearing Agency and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee effect no change in beneficial ownership. The Clearing Agency has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Global Securities representing the Notes; the Clearing Agency’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by the Clearing Agency to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Neither the Clearing Agency nor Cede & Co. (nor such other nominee of the Clearing Agency) will consent or vote with respect to the Global Securities representing the Notes. Under its usual procedures, the Clearing Agency mails an “omnibus proxy” to the Issuer as soon as possible after the applicable record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Notes are credited on the applicable record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

Principal, premium (if any), interest and certain other amounts payable on the Global Securities representing the Notes will be made to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of the Clearing Agency). The Clearing Agency’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts, upon the Clearing Agency’s receipt of funds and corresponding detailed information from the Issuer or the U.S. Trustee, on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on the Clearing Agency’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of the Clearing Agency, the U.S. Trustee or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium (if any), interest and certain other amounts to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of the Clearing Agency) is the responsibility of the Issuer or the U.S. Trustee (provided it has received funds from the Issuer), disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of the Clearing Agency, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct Participants and Indirect Participants.

The Clearing Agency may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Global Securities representing the Notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the U.S. Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Notes in definitive form are required to be printed and delivered to each holder.

The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through the Clearing Agency (or a successor securities depositary). In that event, the Notes in definitive form will be printed and delivered.

Clearstream advises that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream participants”), and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream participants through electronic book-

entry changes in accounts of Clearstream participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to Clearstream participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). Clearstream participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters of this offering. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream participant, either directly or indirectly.

Distributions with respect to interests in the Notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the Clearing Agency for Clearstream.

Euroclear advises that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear (“Euroclear participants”), and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear Operator”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters of this offering. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly.

Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within the Euroclear System, withdrawals of securities and cash from the Euroclear System, and receipts of payment with respect to securities in the Euroclear System. All securities in the Euroclear System are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear participants, and has no records of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear participants.

Distributions with respect to the Notes held beneficially through the Euroclear System will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear participants in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for the Euroclear System.

The information in this section concerning the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency’s book-entry system, Clearstream and Euroclear has been obtained from sources that the Issuer and the Guarantors believe to be reliable, but is subject to any changes to the arrangements between the Issuer and the Clearing Agency and any changes to such procedures that may be instituted unilaterally by the Clearing Agency, Clearstream and Euroclear.

Transfers

Transfers of ownership of the Notes will be effected only through records maintained by the Clearing Agency for such Notes with respect to interests of Participants and on the records of Participants with respect to interests of persons other than Participants. Holders of the Notes who are not Participants, but who desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of or other interests in the Notes, may do so only through

S-43

Participants. The ability of a holder to pledge Notes or otherwise take action with respect to such holder’s interest in Notes (other than through a Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Securities — There is no assurance that an active trading market will develop in the Notes.” The Trustees shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer or exchange imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer or exchange of any interest in any note (including any transfers between or among participants or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Payments and Deliveries

As long as the Clearing Agency is the registered owner of the Notes, the Clearing Agency will be considered the sole owner of the Notes for the purposes of receiving payments on the Notes. Payments of interest in respect of the Notes will be made by the Issuer to the Clearing Agency as the registered holder of the Notes and the Issuer understands that such payments will be forwarded by the Clearing Agency to Participants in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Clearing Agency. As long as the Notes are held in the Clearing Agency’s book-entry only system, the responsibility and liability of the U.S. Trustee, the Issuer and/or the Guarantors in respect of the Notes is limited to making payment of any amount due on the Notes.

Our Partnership Agreement will be amended by the General Partner pursuant to Article 14 of our Partnership Agreement.

Priority

The Class A Preferred Units rank senior to the LP Units with respect to priority in the payment of distributions and in the distribution of the assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary. Each series of Class A Preferred Units ranks on parity in right of payment with every other series of the Class A Preferred Units with respect to priority in the payment of distributions and in the distribution of the assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary; however, only the Existing Canadian Preferred Units will have the benefit of the guarantees from BIPC Holdings.

Unitholder Approvals

In addition to any other approvals required by law, the approval of all amendments to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Class A Preferred Units as a class and any other approval to be given by the holders of the Class A Preferred Units may be (i) given by a resolution signed by the holders of Class A Preferred Units owning not less than the percentage of the Class A Preferred Units that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting of the holders of the Class A Preferred Units at which all holders of the Class A Preferred Units were present and voted or were represented by proxy or (ii) passed by an affirmative vote of at least 66²/3% of the votes cast at a meeting of holders of the Class A Preferred Units duly called for that purpose and at which the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding Class A Preferred Units are present or represented by proxy or, if no quorum is present or represented by proxy at such meeting, at an adjourned meeting at which the holders of Class A Preferred Units then present would form the necessary quorum. At any

S-46

meeting of holders of Class A Preferred Units as a class, each such holder shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Class A Preferred Unit held.

We may issue Exchange Unit Junior Securities and Exchange Unit Parity Securities (each as defined under “Exchange Preferred Units — Ranking”) (including additional Class A Preferred Units) from time to time without the consent of holders of outstanding Class A Preferred Units. In addition, unless we have received the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Class A Preferred Units, we may not issue any Exchange Unit Senior Securities (as defined under “Exchange Preferred Units — Ranking”).

Exchange Preferred Units

The following description of the particular terms of the Exchange Preferred Units supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of Class A Preferred Units described above under “— Class A Preferred Units” and in the accompanying base prospectus, and does not purport to be complete. The following description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of our Partnership Agreement, including Amendment No. 5 thereto, which will be entered into in connection with the closing of this offering and will be filed as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K. We urge you to read our Partnership Agreement, including Amendment No. 5, because it, and not this description, will define your rights as a holder of the Exchange Preferred Units.

General

The Exchange Preferred Units, if and when issued in connection with an Automatic Exchange, will be a new series of preferred units of the Partnership. Upon the occurrence of an Automatic Exchange, Exchange Preferred Units will be issued in an amount of Exchange Preferred Units (including fractional units, if applicable) calculated as the sum of (i) the number of Notes issued and outstanding at the time of such Automatic Exchange, and (ii) the number obtained by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes at such time, by US$25.00 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes. Upon completion of this offering, there will be no Exchange Preferred Units issued and outstanding. We may, without notice to or consent of the holders of the then-outstanding Exchange Preferred Units, authorize and issue additional Exchange Unit Junior Securities and, subject to the limitations described under “— Voting Rights,” Exchange Unit Senior Securities and Exchange Unit Parity Securities.

The Exchange Preferred Units will have an issue price of $25 per Exchange Preferred Unit. At the Exchange Time, holders of the Notes will receive one Exchange Preferred Unit for each $25 principal amount of Notes previously held together with the number of Exchange Preferred Units (including fractional units, if applicable) calculated by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes, by $25.

The holders of our LP Units, Existing Preferred Units, Exchange Preferred Units and other partnership securities will be entitled to receive, to the extent permitted by law and as provided in our Partnership Agreement, such distributions as may from time to time be declared by the General Partner, at the same rate as would have accrued on the Notes (had such Notes remained outstanding) as described under “Description of the Notes – Interest and Maturity”, payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of our LP Units, Existing Preferred Units, Exchange Preferred Units, general partner interest and other partnership securities (if any) are entitled to receive distributions of our assets as provided in our Partnership Agreement, after we have satisfied or made provision for our outstanding indebtedness and other obligations and after payment to the holders of any class or series of limited partner interests having preferential rights to receive distributions of our assets over each such class of limited partner interests.

When issued and paid for in the manner described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, the Exchange Preferred Units offered hereby will be fully paid and nonassessable. Subject to the

S-47

matters described under “— Liquidation Rights,” each Exchange Preferred Unit will generally have a fixed liquidation preference of $25.00 per Exchange Preferred Unit (subject to adjustment for any splits, combinations or similar adjustment to the Exchange Preferred Units) plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for payment, whether or not declared.

Unlike our indebtedness, the Exchange Preferred Units will represent perpetual interests in us and will not give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date. As such, the Exchange Preferred Units will rank junior to all of our current and future indebtedness with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against us. The rights of the holders of Exchange Preferred Units to receive the liquidation preference will be subject to the rights of the holders of any Exchange Unit Senior Securities and the proportional rights of holders of Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units).

All of the Exchange Preferred Units offered hereby will be represented by one or more certificates issued to DTC (and its successors or assigns or any other securities depositary selected by us) (the “Securities Depositary”) and registered in the name of its nominee, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in the Securities Depositary. So long as a Securities Depositary has been appointed and is serving, no person acquiring Exchange Preferred Units will be entitled to receive a certificate representing such Exchange Preferred Units unless applicable law otherwise requires or the Securities Depositary resigns or is no longer eligible to act as such and a successor is not appointed. See “— Book-Entry System.”

The Exchange Preferred Units will not be convertible into LP Units or any other securities and will not have exchange rights or be entitled or subject to any preemptive or similar rights. The Exchange Preferred Units will not be entitled or subject to mandatory redemption or to any sinking fund requirements. The Exchange Preferred Units will be subject to redemption, in whole or in part, as applicable, commencing on             , 2026, at our option. See “— Redemption.”

We will appoint Computershare Inc. as the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units and the registrar and transfer agent for the Exchange Preferred Units with its at its principal office at 150 Royall Street, Canton MA 02021.

Ranking

The Exchange Preferred Units will, with respect to anticipated quarterly distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of our affairs, rank:

• senior to the non-voting limited partnership units of the Partnership and any other partnership interests of the Partnership that pursuant to a written agreement rank junior to the Class A Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions and distributions upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary (collectively, the “Exchange Unit Junior Securities”);

• on parity in right of payment with every other series of Class A Preferred Units, including the Existing Preferred Units (as defined in “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Class A Preferred Units — Series”), and any other partnership interests of the Partnership that pursuant to a written agreement rank equally with the Class A Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions and distributions upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary (collectively, the “Exchange Unit Parity Securities”);

• junior to any class or series of partnership interests of the Partnership that pursuant to a written agreement rank senior to the Class A Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions and distributions upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary (collectively, the “Exchange Unit Senior Securities”); and

• junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against us.

S-48

In addition, the Exchange Preferred Units will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries and any capital stock of our subsidiaries (including the BIPC Guarantee of the Existing Canadian Preferred Units) held by others as to the payment of distributions and amounts payable upon a liquidation event. The Exchange Preferred Units have not been, and will not be, guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and will not be guaranteed by BIPC Holdings that guarantees the Existing Canadian Preferred Units.

Under our Partnership Agreement, we may issue Exchange Unit Junior Securities and Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including additional Class A Preferred Units) from time to time in one or more series without the consent of the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units. The General Partner has the authority to determine the designations, preferences, rights, powers, guarantees and duties of any such series before the issuance of any units of that series. The General Partner will also determine the number of units constituting each series of securities. Our ability to issue additional Exchange Unit Parity Securities in certain circumstances or Exchange Unit Senior Securities is limited as described under “— Voting Rights.” Exchange Unit Parity Securities with respect to the Exchange Preferred Units may include classes and series of the Partnership’s securities (including other series of Class A Preferred Units, such as the Existing Preferred Units) that have different coupons, distribution rates, mechanics, payment periods, payment dates, record dates and/or other terms than the Exchange Preferred Units.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, unless the Partnership is continued under the election to reconstitute and continue the Partnership, the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units will be entitled to receive $25.00 per unit, together with all accrued (whether or not declared) and unpaid distributions up to but excluding the date of payment or distribution, before any amount is paid or any assets of the Partnership are distributed to the holders of any units of the Partnership ranking junior to the Exchange Preferred Units. Upon payment of such amounts, the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units will not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Partnership. The rights of the holders of Exchange Preferred Units to receive the liquidation preference will be subject to the rights of the holders of any Exchange Unit Senior Securities and the proportional rights of holders of Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Canadian Preferred Units which benefit from the BIPC Guarantee as well as any future Class A Preferred Units that may benefit from a similar guarantee).

Voting Rights

Holders of Exchange Preferred Units are not entitled to receive notice of, attend, or vote at, any meeting of unitholders of the Partnership, unless and until the Partnership shall have failed to pay eight quarterly distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units, whether or not consecutive and whether or not such distributions have been declared and whether or not there are any monies of the Partnership legally available for distributions under Bermuda law. In the event of such non-payment, and for only so long as any such distributions remain in arrears, the holders of Exchange Preferred Units will be entitled to receive notice of and to attend each meeting of unitholders of the Partnership (other than any meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series are entitled to vote) and shall have the right, at any such meeting, to one vote for each Exchange Preferred Unit held. No other voting rights shall attach to the Exchange Preferred Units in any circumstances. Upon payment of the entire amount of all distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units in arrears, the voting rights of the holders thereof shall forthwith cease (unless and until the same default shall again arise as described herein).

Except as set forth in our Partnership Agreement or as otherwise required by Bermuda law, and except as described in the paragraph above, the Exchange Preferred Units will have no voting rights. In addition, we may not adopt an amendment to our Partnership Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the powers, preferences, duties or special rights of the Exchange Preferred Units unless such amendment (i) is approved by a resolution signed by the holders of Exchange Preferred Units owning not less than the percentage of the

S-49

Exchange Preferred Units that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting of the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units at which all holders of the Exchange Preferred Units were present and voted or were represented by proxy or (ii) is passed by an affirmative vote of at least 66²/3% of the votes cast at a meeting of holders of the Exchange Preferred Units duly called for that purpose and at which the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding Exchange Preferred Units are present or represented by proxy or, if no quorum is present at such meeting, at an adjourned meeting at which the holders of Exchange Preferred Units then present would form the necessary quorum. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this voting requirement, any amendment to our Partnership Agreement (i) relating to the issuance of additional limited partner interests (subject to the voting rights regarding the issuance of Exchange Unit Senior Securities discussed in “— Class A Preferred Units —Unitholder Approvals” above) or (ii) in connection with a merger or another transaction in which we are the surviving entity and the Exchange Preferred Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged in any respect adverse to the holders of Exchange Preferred Units, will be deemed to not materially adversely affect the terms of the Exchange Preferred Units.

On any matter on which the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units are entitled to vote as a class, such holders will be entitled to one vote per Exchange Preferred Unit. The Exchange Preferred Units held by us or any of our subsidiaries or controlled affiliates will not be entitled to vote.

Exchange Preferred Units held in nominee or street name account will be voted by the broker or other nominee in accordance with the instruction of the beneficial owner unless the arrangement between the beneficial owner and its nominee provides otherwise.

Distributions

General

Holders of Exchange Preferred Units will be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the board of directors of the General Partner out of legally available funds for such purpose, cumulative quarterly cash distributions. Unless otherwise determined by the General Partner, distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units will be deemed to have been paid out of our available cash with respect to the quarter ended immediately preceding the quarter in which the distribution is made.

Distributions on Exchange Preferred Units will be cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears (as described under “— Distribution Payment Dates”) at the same rate as would have accrued on the Notes (had such Notes remained outstanding) as described under “Description of the Notes —Interest and Maturity”, when, as, and if declared by the General Partner out of legally available funds for such purpose.

Distribution Payment Dates

The “Distribution Payment Dates” for the Exchange Preferred Units will be the March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 in each year, commencing on the first March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 following the initial issue date. Distributions will accrue in each such period from and including the preceding Distribution Payment Date or the initial issue date, as the case may be, to but excluding the applicable Distribution Payment Date for such period, and distributions will accrue on accrued distributions at the applicable distribution rate. If any Distribution Payment Date otherwise would fall on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), declared distributions will be paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day without the accrual of additional distributions. Distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units will be payable based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

“Business Day” means every day except a Saturday or Sunday, or a day which is a statutory or civic holiday in Bermuda, the Province of Ontario, or the State of New York.

S-50

Payment of Distributions

Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Distribution Payment Date, we will pay quarterly distributions, if any, on the Exchange Preferred Units that have been declared by the General Partner to the holders of such Exchange Preferred Units as such holders’ names appear on our unit transfer books maintained by the registrar and transfer agent for the Exchange Preferred Units on the applicable record date. The record date for each distribution on our Exchange Preferred Units will be the last business day of the calendar month prior to the applicable Distribution Payment Date, or such other record date as may be fixed by the General Partner.

So long as the Exchange Preferred Units are held of record by the nominee of the Securities Depositary, declared distributions will be paid to the Securities Depositary in same-day funds on each Distribution Payment Date. The Securities Depositary will credit accounts of its participants in accordance with the Securities Depositary’s normal procedures. The participants will be responsible for holding or disbursing such payments to beneficial owners of the Exchange Preferred Units in accordance with the instructions of such beneficial owners.

No distribution may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Exchange Unit Junior Securities (other than a distribution payable solely in Exchange Unit Junior Securities) unless all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all outstanding Exchange Preferred Units and any Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. Accrued distributions in arrears for any past distribution period may be declared by the General Partner and paid on any date fixed by the General Partner, whether or not a Distribution Payment Date, to holders of the Exchange Preferred Units on the record date for such payment, which may not be less than 10 days before such distribution payment dates. To the extent a distribution period applicable to a class of Exchange Unit Junior Securities or Exchange Unit Parity Securities is shorter than the distribution period applicable to the Exchange Preferred Units (e.g., monthly rather than quarterly), the General Partner may declare and pay regular distributions with respect to such Exchange Unit Junior Securities or Exchange Unit Parity Securities so long as, at the time of declaration of such distribution, (i) there are no Exchange Preferred Unit distribution payments in arrears and (ii) the General Partner expects to have sufficient funds to pay the full distribution in respect of the Exchange Preferred Units on the next successive Distribution Payment Date.

Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accrued distributions in arrears on all outstanding Exchange Preferred Units and any Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) have not been declared and paid, or sufficient funds for the payment thereof have not been set apart, payment of accrued distributions in arrears will be made in order of their respective distribution payment dates, commencing with the earliest distribution payment date. If less than all distributions payable with respect to all Exchange Preferred Units and any Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) are paid, any partial payment will be made pro rata with respect to the Exchange Preferred Units and any Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) entitled to a distribution payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate amounts remaining due in respect of such Exchange Preferred Units and Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) at such time.

Holders of the Exchange Preferred Units will not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or units of the Partnership, in excess of full cumulative distributions. Except insofar as distributions accrue on the amount of any accrued and unpaid distributions no interest or sum of money in lieu of interest will be payable in respect of any distribution payment which may be in arrears on the Exchange Preferred Units.

Payment of Additional Amounts

We will make all payments on the Exchange Preferred Units free and clear of and without withholding or deduction at source for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, fees, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange

S-51

Preferred Units (as defined under “— Redemption — Optional Redemption Upon a Change in Tax Law”), unless such taxes, fees, duties, assessments or governmental charges are required to be withheld or deducted by (i) the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units or (ii) an official position regarding the application, administration, interpretation or enforcement of any such laws, regulations or rulings (including, without limitation, a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a taxing authority in any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units). If a withholding or deduction at source is required, we will, subject to certain limitations and exceptions described below, pay to the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units such additional amounts as distributions as may be necessary so that every net payment made to such holders, after such withholding or deduction (including any such withholding or deduction from such additional amounts), will be equal to the amounts we would otherwise have been required to pay had no such withholding or deduction been required.

We will not be required to pay any additional amounts for or on account of:

(a) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature that would not have been imposed but for the fact that such holder was a resident, domiciliary or national of, or engaged in business or maintained a permanent establishment or was physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units or any political subdivision thereof or otherwise had some connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units other than by reason of the mere ownership of, or receipt of payment under, the Exchange Preferred Units or any Exchange Preferred Units presented for payment (where presentation is required for payment) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such amounts if it had presented such shares for payment on any day within such 30 day period). The “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which such payment first becomes due and payable, but if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the distribution disbursing agent on or prior to such due date, it means the first date on which the full amount of such moneys having been so received and being available for payment to holders and notice to that effect shall have been duly given to the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units;

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payment of the liquidation preference or of any distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units;

(c) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the holder of such Exchange Preferred Units to comply with any reasonable request by us addressed to the holder within 90 days of such request (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirement that is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge;

(d) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or governmental charge imposed under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; or

(e) any combination of items (a), (b), (c) and (d).

In addition, we will not pay additional amounts with respect to any payment on the Exchange Preferred Units to any holder that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity other than the sole beneficial owner of such Exchange Preferred Units if such payment would be required by the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or partner or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity or a beneficial owner to the extent such beneficiary, partner or settlor would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the holder of the Exchange Preferred Units.

S-52

If there is a substantial probability that we or any entity formed by a consolidation, merger or amalgamation (or similar transaction) involving us or the entity to which we convey, transfer or lease substantially all of our properties and assets (a “Successor Entity”) would become obligated to pay any additional amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law for Exchange Preferred Units, we will also have the option to redeem the Exchange Preferred Units as described in “— Redemption — Optional Redemption Upon a Change in Tax Law”.

Redemption

Optional Redemption Upon a Change in Tax Law

We will have the option to redeem the Exchange Preferred Units, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per Exchange Preferred Unit, if as a result of a Change in Tax Law for Exchange Preferred Units there is, in our reasonable determination, a substantial probability that we or any Successor Entity would become obligated to pay any additional amounts on the next succeeding distribution payment date with respect to the Exchange Preferred Units and the payment of those additional amounts cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to us or any Successor Entity. We must provide not less than 30 days’ and not more than 60 days’ written notice of any such redemption. Any such redemption would be effected only out of funds legally available for such purpose and will be subject to compliance with the provisions of our outstanding indebtedness.

“Change in Tax Law for Exchange Preferred Units” means (i) a change in or amendment to laws, regulations or rulings of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units, (ii) a change in the official application or interpretation of those laws, regulations or rulings, (iii) any execution of or amendment to any treaty affecting taxation to which any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units is party or (iv) a decision rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units, whether or not such decision was rendered with respect to us, in each case described in (i)-(iv) above occurring after the date of this prospectus supplement; provided that in the case of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units other than Bermuda in which a successor company is organized, such Change in Tax Law for Exchange Preferred Units must occur after the date on which we consolidate, merge or amalgamate (or engage in a similar transaction) with the Successor Entity, or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of our properties and assets to the Successor Entity, as applicable.

“Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for Exchange Preferred Units” means (i) Bermuda or any political subdivision or governmental authority of or in Bermuda with the power to tax, (ii) any jurisdiction from or through which we or our distribution disbursing agent are making payments on the Exchange Preferred Units or any political subdivision or governmental authority of or in that jurisdiction with the power to tax or (iii) any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership or a Successor Entity is organized or generally subject to taxation or any political subdivision or governmental authority of or in that jurisdiction with the power to tax.

Optional Redemption on or after , 2026

Any time on or after             , 2026, we may redeem, at our option, in whole or in part, the Exchange Preferred Units at a redemption price in cash equal to $25.00 per Exchange Preferred Unit plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption, whether or not declared. We may undertake multiple partial redemptions. Any such redemption would be effected only out of funds legally available for such purpose and would be subject to compliance with the provisions of the instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness.

Redemption Procedures

Any optional redemption shall be effected only out of funds legally available for such purpose. We will give notice of any redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the scheduled date of

S-53

redemption, to the holders of any Exchange Preferred Units to be redeemed as such holders’ names appear on our unit transfer books maintained by the registrar and transfer agent for the Exchange Preferred Units at the address of such holders shown therein. Such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date, (ii) the number of Exchange Preferred Units to be redeemed and, if less than all outstanding Exchange Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number (and, in the case of Exchange Preferred Units in certificated form, the identification) of Exchange Preferred Units to be redeemed from such holder, (iii) the redemption price, (iv) the place where any Exchange Preferred Units in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the redemption price therefor (which shall occur automatically if the certificate representing such Exchange Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Securities Depositary or its nominee), and (v) that distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units to be redeemed will cease to accrue from and after such redemption date.

If less than all of the outstanding Exchange Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the Exchange Preferred Units to be redeemed will be determined on a pro rata basis disregarding fractions, or in such other manner as the General Partner in its sole discretion may, by resolution, determine. So long as all Exchange Preferred Units are held of record by the nominee of the Securities Depositary, we will give notice, or cause notice to be given, to the Securities Depositary of the number of Exchange Preferred Units to be redeemed. Thereafter, each participant will select the number of Exchange Preferred Units to be redeemed from each beneficial owner for whom it acts (including the participant, to the extent it holds Exchange Preferred Units for its own account). A participant may determine to redeem Exchange Preferred Units from some beneficial owners (including the participant itself) without redeeming Exchange Preferred Units from the accounts of other beneficial owners. Any Exchange Preferred Units not redeemed will remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences of Exchange Preferred Units under our Partnership Agreement.

So long as the Exchange Preferred Units are held of record by the nominee of the Securities Depositary, the redemption price will be paid by the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units to the Securities Depositary on the redemption date. The Securities Depositary’s normal procedures provide for it to distribute the amount of the redemption price in same-day funds to its participants who, in turn, are expected to distribute such funds to the persons for whom they are acting as agent.

If we give or cause to be given a notice of redemption, then we will deposit with the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units funds sufficient to redeem the Exchange Preferred Units as to which notice has been given by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for redemption, and will give the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the redemption price to the holder or holders thereof upon surrender or deemed surrender (which will occur automatically if the certificate representing such Exchange Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Securities Depositary or its nominee) of the certificates therefor. If a notice of redemption shall have been given, then from and after the date fixed for redemption, unless we default in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the notice, all distributions on such Exchange Preferred Units will cease to accrue and all rights of holders of such Exchange Preferred Units as limited partners will cease (and such Exchange Preferred Units shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the registrar and transfer agent for the Exchange Preferred Units or be deemed outstanding for any purpose whatsoever), except the right to receive the redemption price, including an amount equal to accrued and unpaid distributions to the date fixed for redemption, whether or not declared. The holders of Exchange Preferred Units will have no claim to the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units. Any funds deposited with the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units hereunder by us for any reason, including, but not limited to, redemption of Exchange Preferred Units, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after one year after the applicable redemption date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, repaid to us upon our written request, after which repayment the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to us.

If only a portion of the Exchange Preferred Units represented by a certificate has been called for redemption, upon surrender of the certificate to the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units (which will occur automatically if the certificate representing such Exchange Preferred Units is registered in the name of the

S-54

Securities Depositary or its nominee), we will issue and the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units will deliver to the holder of such Exchange Preferred Units a new certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Exchange Preferred Units represented by the surrendered certificate that have not been called for redemption.

Notwithstanding any notice of redemption, there will be no redemption of any Exchange Preferred Units called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full redemption price of such Exchange Preferred Units, including all accrued and unpaid distributions to, but excluding, the date of redemption, whether or not declared, have been deposited by us with the paying agent for the Exchange Preferred Units.

We may from time to time purchase Exchange Preferred Units, including by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to compliance with all applicable securities and other laws. We have no obligation, or any present plan or intention, to purchase any Exchange Preferred Units. Any Exchange Preferred Units that we redeem or otherwise acquire will be cancelled.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all Exchange Preferred Units and any Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) have been declared and paid or set apart for payment, we may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Exchange Preferred Units or Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same relative terms to all holders of Exchange Preferred Units and any Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units). As long as any Exchange Preferred Units are outstanding, except out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue of Exchange Unit Junior Securities, we may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any partnership interests in the Partnership (other than a Class A Preferred Unit) or any other series of Exchange Unit Junior Securities unless all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all Exchange Preferred Units and any Exchange Unit Parity Securities (including the Existing Preferred Units) have been declared and paid or set apart for payment.

Variation

At any time following a Change in Tax Law for Exchange Preferred Units, we may, without the consent of any holders of the Exchange Preferred Units, vary the terms of the Exchange Preferred Units such that they remain securities which would eliminate the substantial probability that we or any Successor Entity would be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to the Exchange Preferred Units as a result of a Change in Tax Law for Exchange Preferred Units. The terms of the varied securities considered in the aggregate cannot be less favorable to holders than the terms of the Exchange Preferred Units prior to being varied; provided that no such variation of terms shall change the specified denominations of, distribution payable on, the redemption dates (other than any extension of the period during which an optional redemption may not be exercised by us) or currency of the Exchange Preferred Units, reduce the liquidation preference thereof, lower the ranking in right of payment with respect to the payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Exchange Preferred Units, or change the foregoing list of items that may not be so amended as part of such variation. Further, no such variation of terms shall impair the right of a holder of the securities to institute suit for the payment of any amounts due, but unpaid with respect to such holder’s securities.

Prior to any variation, we will be required to receive an opinion of independent legal advisers to the effect that holders and beneficial owners of the Exchange Preferred Units (including as holders and beneficial owners of the varied securities) will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such variation and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case had such variation not occurred.

No Sinking Fund

The Exchange Preferred Units will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

S-55

Limited Duties

The Bermuda Limited Partnership Act 1883, as amended, under which the Partnership has been established, does not impose statutory fiduciary duties on a general partner of a limited partnership in the same manner that certain corporate statutes, such as the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, impose fiduciary duties on directors of a corporation. In general, under applicable Bermudian legislation, a general partner has a duty to act in good faith and subject to any express provisions of the partnership agreement to the contrary, to act in the interests of the limited partnership. A general partner also has certain limited duties to its limited partners, such as the duty to render accounts, account for private profits and not compete with the partnership in business. In addition, Bermudian common law recognizes that a general partner owes a duty of utmost good faith to its limited partners. However, to the extent that the General Partner owes any such fiduciary duties to the Partnership and holders of partnership interests in the Partnership, these duties have been modified pursuant to our Partnership Agreement as a matter of contract law, with the exception of the duty of the General Partner to act in good faith, which cannot be modified.

Book-Entry System

All Exchange Preferred Units offered hereby will be represented by one or more certificates issued to the Securities Depositary, and registered in the name of its nominee (initially, Cede & Co.), for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in the Securities Depositary. The Exchange Preferred Units offered hereby will continue to be represented by one or more certificates registered in the name of the Securities Depositary or its nominee, and no holder of the Exchange Preferred Units offered hereby will be entitled to receive a certificate evidencing such Exchange Preferred Units unless otherwise required by law or the Securities Depositary gives notice of its intention to resign or is no longer eligible to act as such and we have not selected a substitute Securities Depositary within 60 calendar days thereafter. Payments and communications made by us to holders of the Exchange Preferred Units will be duly made by making payments to, and communicating with, the Securities Depositary. Accordingly, unless certificates are available to holders of the Exchange Preferred Units, each purchaser of Exchange Preferred Units must rely on (i) the procedures of the Securities Depositary and its participants to receive distributions, any redemption price, liquidation preference and notices, and to direct the exercise of any voting rights, with respect to such Exchange Preferred Units and (ii) the records of the Securities Depositary and its participants to evidence its ownership of such Exchange Preferred Units.

So long as the Securities Depositary (or its nominee) is the sole holder of the Exchange Preferred Units, no beneficial holder of the Exchange Preferred Units will be deemed to be a holder of Exchange Preferred Units. DTC, the initial Securities Depositary, is a New York-chartered limited purpose trust company that performs services for its participants, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. The Securities Depositary maintains lists of its participants and will maintain the positions (i.e., ownership interests) held by its participants in the Exchange Preferred Units, whether as a holder of the Exchange Preferred Units for its own account or as a nominee for another holder of the Exchange Preferred Units.

BILP Exchange Units

On the closing of this offering, the limited partnership agreement of BILP (as amended the “BILP Partnership Agreement”) will be amended to authorize and create a proportionate number of preferred units in the capital of BILP with terms designed to mirror the economic terms of the Exchange Preferred Units (the “BILP Exchange Units”). In connection with an Automatic Exchange, we will subscribe for such BILP Exchange Units. The BILP Partnership Agreement will be amended by the Partnership, in our capacity as managing general partner of BILP, pursuant to Section 18.1 of the BILP Partnership Agreement.

The terms of the BILP Exchange Units will provide that no distribution may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Mirror Exchange Unit Junior Securities (as defined below) (other than a distribution payable solely in Mirror Exchange Unit Junior Securities) unless full cumulative distributions have been or

S-56

contemporaneously are being paid or provided for on all outstanding BILP Exchange Units and any Mirror Exchange Unit Parity Securities (as defined below) through the most recent respective distribution payment dates. To the extent a distribution period applicable to a class of Mirror Exchange Unit Junior Securities or Mirror Exchange Unit Parity Securities is shorter than the distribution period applicable to the BILP Exchange Units (e.g., monthly rather than quarterly), we may declare and pay regular distributions with respect to such Mirror Exchange Unit Junior Securities or Mirror Exchange Unit Parity Securities so long as, at the time of declaration of such distribution, we expect to have sufficient funds to pay the full distribution in respect of the BILP Exchange Units on the next successive distribution payment date.

“Mirror Exchange Unit Junior Securities” means the Redeemable Partnership Units, the managing general partner units of BILP, the special general partner units of BILP and any other partnership interest of BILP hereafter authorized that pursuant to a written agreement with BILP ranks junior to the Class A preferred limited partnership units of BILP in the payment of distributions and in the distribution of assets upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary.

“Mirror Exchange Unit Parity Securities” means any partnership interest of BILP (including the BILP Exchange Units and the preferred units in the capital of BILP with terms designed to mirror the economic terms of the Existing Preferred Units (collectively, and together with the BILP Exchange Units, the “BILP Mirror Units”)) or the Partnership that pursuant to a written agreement with the Partnership ranks equally with the Class A preferred limited partnership units of BILP in the payment of distributions and in the distribution of assets upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of BILP, whether voluntary or involuntary. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, 65,867,650 Mirror Exchange Unit Parity Securities were issued and outstanding by BILP, all of which were BILP Mirror Units in respect of the Existing Preferred Units.

S-57

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of purchasing, owning, and disposing of the Notes. This summary addresses only U.S. Holders who purchase the Notes in this offering at the “issue price,” which is the first price at which a substantial amount of the Notes is sold for cash (other than to bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers), and who hold the Notes (or the Exchange Preferred Units received pursuant to the Automatic Exchange, if applicable) as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including estate and gift tax, alternative minimum tax and Medicare contribution tax consequences, as well as differing tax consequences that may apply if you are a holder subject to special rules, such as:

• a financial institution;

• a real estate investment trust, a regulated investment company, or an insurance company;

• a dealer in securities or currencies;

• a dealer or trader in securities that uses a mark-to-market method of tax accounting;

• a person holding the Notes as part of a hedging transaction, “straddle,” conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction;

• a person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

• a tax-exempt entity, qualified retirement plan, individual retirement account, or other deferred account;

• a person that owns directly, indirectly, or constructively more than 5% of the Notes or the Exchange Preferred Units;

• a person whose Notes or Exchange Preferred Units are loaned to a short seller to cover a short sale;

• a person subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code;

• a U.S. expatriate; or

• a person who holds Notes or Exchange Preferred Units through a partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If you are a partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of you and your partners generally will depend on the status of the partners and your activities. If you are a partnership owning the Notes or a partner in such a partnership, you are urged to consult your tax adviser as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning the Notes.

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary, and proposed Treasury regulations thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”), administrative pronouncements, and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to differing interpretations or change (possibly with retroactive effect), and any such differing interpretations or change may result in U.S. federal income tax consequences to you that are materially different from those described herein.

No ruling from the IRS has been or will be sought with respect to the matters described below, and the IRS may take a different view of the consequences described below.

This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local, or non-U.S. taxation, or any taxes other than U.S. federal income taxes. You should consult your tax adviser with regard to the application of the U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

S-58

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a Note (or an Exchange Preferred Unit received pursuant to the Automatic Exchange, if applicable) that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• a citizen or an individual who is a resident of the United States;

• a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state therein, or the District of Columbia;

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust (i) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

The following discussion is for general information only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of Notes, and no opinion or representation with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Notes.

Tax Treatment of the Notes

The determination of whether an instrument is properly treated as indebtedness or equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes is based on all the relevant facts and circumstances at the time the instrument is issued. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of an instrument with terms that are substantially identical to the terms of the Notes. In the absence of authority directly addressing the proper treatment of instruments such as the Notes, to the extent required to do so, we intend to treat the Notes as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we will not request any ruling from the IRS regarding the treatment of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the IRS or a court may conclude that the Notes should be treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as described below). Prospective investors should consult their tax advisers as to the proper characterization of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Consequences if the Notes are Treated as Debt Instruments for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Issuer is disregarded as an entity separate from Bermuda Holdco. The discussion in this section therefore assumes that the Notes are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as indebtedness of Bermuda Holdco.

Certain Additional Payments

In certain circumstances (for example, as described under “Description of the Notes — Redemption on Tax Event” and under “Description of the Notes – Redemption on Rating Event”), the Issuer may be obligated to pay amounts on the Notes that are in excess of stated interest or principal on the Notes. These potential payments may implicate the provisions of Treasury Regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments.” We do not intend to treat the possibility of paying such additional amounts as causing the Notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. It is possible that the IRS may take a contrary position. If the IRS takes a contrary position, you may be required to accrue interest income based upon a “comparable yield” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) determined at the time of issuance of the Notes, with adjustments to such accruals when any contingent payments are made that differ from the payments based on the comparable yield. In addition, any income on the sale or other taxable disposition of the Notes would be treated as interest income rather than as capital gain. Our determination that the Notes are not contingent payment debt instruments is binding on you unless you disclose a contrary position to the IRS in the manner that is required by applicable Treasury Regulations. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Notes are not treated as contingent payment debt instruments. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences to you if the Notes are treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

S-59

Payments of Interest

Subject to the discussion below relating to our option to defer payments of interest on the Notes, we expect, and this discussion assumes, that the Notes will be issued without OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, stated interest on the Notes, and any Additional Amounts with respect to withholding tax on the Notes (including the amount of tax withheld from payments of interest and Additional Amounts), should be taxable to you as ordinary income when paid or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Under the terms of the Notes, the Issuer has the option to defer payments of interest from time to time for up to five consecutive years. Treasury Regulations provide that a debt instrument will not be treated as issued with OID by reason of its issuer’s ability to defer payments of interest if the likelihood of such deferral is “remote.” We intend to take the position, and this discussion assumes, that, as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, the likelihood of deferring payments of interest under the terms of the Notes is “remote” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations. Based on the foregoing, we do not intend to treat the Notes as issued with OID by reason of our deferral option. Accordingly, stated interest on the Notes should be taxable to you as ordinary income when paid or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our position is not binding on the IRS or a court. If the IRS or a court takes a contrary position, you may be required to accrue OID from the time of issuance, as described below, regardless of your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In the event the Issuer exercises the option to defer payments of interest, the Notes would be treated as retired and reissued for their issue price solely for purposes of the OID rules, and you would be required to treat all stated interest on the deemed reissued Notes as OID. Consequently, during any Deferral Period, and any period thereafter, you would include all stated interest in gross income as it accrues using a constant yield method before the receipt of cash. The calculation of the amount of such accruals may be complex, and therefore you should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences to you if the Notes are treated as issued (or deemed reissued) with OID.

The amount of interest on the Notes that is taxable as ordinary income will include any amounts withheld in respect of Canadian taxes and, without duplication, any additional amounts paid with respect thereto. Interest on the Notes will be foreign-source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a Note, you generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other taxable disposition (less any amount equal to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest income, as described above) and your adjusted tax basis in the Note. Assuming the Issuer does not exercise the option to defer interest payments on the Notes and the Notes are not otherwise treated as issued with OID, your tax basis in a Note generally will equal the cost of your Note. If the Notes are treated as issued (or deemed reissued) with OID, your adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will equal the cost of your Note, increased by any OID previously included in income, and decreased by payments received on the Note after the date of such issuance (or deemed reissuance, as applicable). Any gain or loss generally will be U.S.-source income or loss for purposes of calculating your foreign tax credit limitation.

Gain or loss recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of a Note generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale or other taxable disposition the Note has been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are subject to reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Information returns may be required to be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the Notes (and OID, if applicable) and proceeds received from a sale or other taxable disposition of the Notes, unless you are an

S-60

exempt recipient. You may also be subject to backup withholding on these payments in respect of your Notes unless you provide your taxpayer identification number and otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules or you provide proof of an applicable exemption. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

You may be required to report information relating to an interest in the Notes (and OID, if applicable) or an account through which the Notes are held, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Notes held in accounts maintained by financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938 to your tax return for each year in which you hold an interest in the Notes. See, generally, the discussion below under “Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Exchange Preferred Units — Information Reporting with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets.” You should consult your tax adviser regarding information reporting requirements relating to your ownership of the Notes.

Automatic Exchange

Depending on the manner in which the exchange of Notes for Exchange Preferred Units pursuant to the Automatic Exchange is effected, you may be required to recognize capital gain or loss, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value as of the Exchange Time of the Exchange Preferred Units received (less any amount in respect of accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest income, as described above under “Payments of Interest”) and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the Notes exchanged. In the event you are required to recognize capital gain or loss, your initial tax basis in the Exchange Preferred Units received will equal the fair market value of the Exchange Preferred Units received, and your holding period for the Exchange Preferred Units received will commence on the day after the date of receipt. Gain or loss so recognized pursuant to the Automatic Exchange generally will be treated as described above under “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes.” Alternatively, the Automatic Exchange may qualify for nonrecognition under Section 721(a) of the Code, provided that certain requirements are met. No assurance can be provided as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Automatic Exchange, and you are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of the Automatic Exchange with respect to your particular circumstances.

Consequences if the Notes are Treated as Equity for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

If the Notes are recharacterized as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax consequences to an investor in Notes may be materially different from the consequences described above under “Consequences if the Notes are Treated as Debt Instruments for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes.” In particular, because the Issuer is disregarded as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the event of recharacterization, the Notes are expected to be treated as equity interests in a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In such case, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Notes generally are expected to be substantially similar to the consequences of owning and disposing of Exchange Preferred Units, as described below under the heading “Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Exchange Preferred Units.” Prospective investors should consult their tax advisers as to the proper characterization of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as the tax consequences of any alternative characterization.

The discussion in this section assumes that the Notes are treated as equity of the Issuer (and not equity of Bermuda Holdco or the Partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Payments of Interest

If the Notes are treated as equity of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the tax treatment of payments of interest on the Notes is uncertain. Subject to such uncertainty, in the event the Notes are treated as equity of the Issuer, interest payments on the Notes generally are expected to be treated in substantially the same

S-61

manner as distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units, as described below under “Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Exchange Preferred Units — Treatment of Distributions on Exchange Preferred Units.” In particular, the gross amount of each payment of interest on the Notes (including any amounts withheld in respect of Canadian taxes and, without duplication, any additional amounts paid with respect thereto) generally is expected to be treated in the same manner as a guaranteed payment for the use of capital that generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income and will be deductible by the Issuer.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes

If the Notes are treated as equity of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the tax treatment of gain or loss realized on the sale or taxable exchange of the Notes generally is expected to be treated in substantially the same manner as gain or loss recognized on the taxable sale or exchange of Exchange Preferred Units, as described below under “Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Exchange Preferred Units — Recognition of Gain or Loss from Taxable Disposition.” In particular, a U.S. Holder generally is expected to recognize gain or loss on such taxable sale or exchange of the Notes equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized and the holder’s tax basis in the Notes.

For additional tax consequences that may be relevant if the Notes are recharacterized as equity, see the discussion below under “Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Exchange Preferred Units.” You are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the potential for the Notes to be recharacterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as equity, as well as the consequences of owning and disposing of Notes in the event of any such alternative characterization, in light of your particular circumstances.

Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of Exchange Preferred Units

The tax consequences to you of the ownership and disposition of Exchange Preferred Units received pursuant to the Automatic Exchange will depend, in part, on your own tax circumstances. For a discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax considerations associated with the Partnership’s operations and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of LP Units, see Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Federal United States Income Tax Considerations” and Item 3.D “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Taxation” in the Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference. Although this section updates and adds information related to certain tax considerations with respect to the Exchange Preferred Units, it also should be read in conjunction with the foregoing items in the Annual Report. The following discussion is limited as described in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Federal United States Income Tax Considerations” in the Annual Report, as described above under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” and as described herein. This section discusses certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to U.S. Holders who are individual citizens or residents of the United States and has only limited application to other categories of U.S. Holders receiving Exchange Preferred Units pursuant to the Automatic Exchange.

Partnership Status of the Partnership and BILP

Each of the Partnership and BILP has made a protective election to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes. An entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes generally incurs no U.S. federal income tax liability. Instead, each partner generally is required to take into account its allocable share of items of income, gain, loss, or deduction of the partnership in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability, regardless of whether cash distributions are made. However, the General Partner expects to treat holders of the Exchange Preferred Units as generally not sharing in allocations of the Partnership’s income, gain, loss, or deduction. Instead, the General Partner will treat distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units as guaranteed payments for the use of capital. Please see “Treatment of Distributions on Exchange Preferred Units” below.

An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may nonetheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a “publicly traded partnership,” unless an exception applies. The

S-62

Partnership is publicly traded. However, an exception, referred to as the “Qualifying Income Exception,” exists with respect to a publicly traded partnership if (i) at least 90% of such partnership’s gross income for every taxable year consists of “qualifying income” and (ii) the partnership would not be required to register under the Investment Company Act if it were a U.S. corporation. Qualifying income includes certain interest income, dividends, real property rents, gains from the sale or other disposition of real property, and any gain from the sale or disposition of a capital asset or other property held for the production of income that otherwise constitutes qualifying income.

The General Partner intends to manage the affairs of the Partnership and BILP so that the Partnership will meet the Qualifying Income Exception in each taxable year. Accordingly, the General Partner believes that the Partnership will be treated as a partnership and not as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If the Partnership fails to meet the Qualifying Income Exception, other than a failure which is determined by the IRS to be inadvertent and which is cured within a reasonable time after discovery, or if the Partnership is required to register under the Investment Company Act, the Partnership will be treated as if it had transferred all of its assets, subject to liabilities, to a newly formed corporation, on the first day of the year in which the Partnership fails to meet the Qualifying Income Exception, in return for stock in such corporation, and then distributed the stock to holders of partnership interests in the Partnership in liquidation. This deemed contribution and liquidation could result in the recognition of gain (but not loss) to U.S. Holders. Thereafter, the Partnership would be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If the Partnership were treated as a corporation in any taxable year, either as a result of a failure to meet the Qualifying Income Exception or otherwise, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit would be reflected only on the Partnership’s tax return rather than being passed through to holders of partnership interests in the Partnership, and the Partnership would be subject to U.S. corporate income tax and potentially branch profits tax with respect to its income, if any, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Partnership might be classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and a U.S. Holder would be subject to the rules applicable to PFICs discussed below. Subject to the PFIC rules, distributions made to U.S. Holders would be treated as taxable dividend income to the extent of the Partnership’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any distribution in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits would first be treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Exchange Preferred Units (reducing that basis accordingly). Thereafter, to the extent such distribution were to exceed a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Exchange Preferred Units, the distribution would be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Exchange Preferred Units. The amount of a distribution treated as a dividend could be eligible for reduced rates of taxation, provided certain conditions are met. In addition, dividends, interest and certain other passive income received by the Partnership with respect to U.S. investments generally would be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, and U.S. Holders would not be allowed a tax credit with respect to any such tax withheld. The “portfolio interest” exemption would not apply to certain interest income of the Partnership. Depending on the circumstances, additional adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could result under the anti-inversion rules described in Section 7874 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations under Section 385 of the Code, or other provisions of the Code, as implemented by the Treasury Regulations and IRS administrative guidance. Based on the foregoing consequences, the treatment of the Partnership as a corporation could materially reduce a holder’s after-tax return and therefore could result in a substantial reduction of the value of the partnership interests in the Partnership. If BILP were to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, consequences similar to those described above would apply. Based on the foregoing consequences, the treatment of the Partnership as a corporation could materially reduce a holder’s after-tax return and therefore could result in a substantial reduction of the value of the Exchange Preferred Units.

The remainder of this summary assumes that the Partnership and BILP will be treated as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes.

S-63

Limited Partner Status

The tax treatment of the Exchange Preferred Units is uncertain. The General Partner will treat holders of Exchange Preferred Units as partners entitled to a guaranteed payment for the use of capital on their Exchange Preferred Units, although the IRS may disagree with this treatment. If the Exchange Preferred Units are not partnership interests, they would likely constitute indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units would constitute ordinary interest income.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Exchange Preferred Units are partnership interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders of Exchange Preferred Units are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding their treatment as partners in the Partnership under their particular circumstances.

Treatment of Distributions on Exchange Preferred Units

The tax treatment of distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units is uncertain. As noted above, the General Partner will treat distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units as guaranteed payments for the use of capital that generally will be taxable to U.S. Holders as ordinary income and will be deductible by the Partnership. A U.S. Holder will recognize taxable income from the accrual of such a guaranteed payment (even in the absence of a contemporaneous cash distribution). U.S. Holders generally are not expected to share in the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss, or deduction, nor will any share of the Partnership’s nonrecourse liabilities be allocated to such holders.

If the distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units are not respected as guaranteed payments for the use of capital, U.S. Holders may be treated as receiving an allocable share of gross income from the Partnership equal to their cash distributions, to the extent the Partnership has sufficient gross income to make such allocations of gross income. In the event there is not sufficient gross income to match such distributions, the distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units would reduce the capital accounts of the holders of the Exchange Preferred Units, requiring a subsequent allocation of income or gain to provide the Exchange Preferred Units with their liquidation preference, if possible.

The foregoing general summary is subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Companies” and “Controlled Foreign Corporations.”

Basis of Units

A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Exchange Preferred Units will depend on the manner in which the Automatic Exchange is effected. See the discussion under “Automatic Exchange” above. A holder’s basis in its Exchange Preferred Units generally will not be affected by distributions on such units. The General Partner does not expect a holder of Exchange Preferred Units to be allocated any share of the Partnership’s liabilities. The IRS has ruled that a partner who acquires interests in a partnership in separate transactions must combine those interests and maintain a single adjusted tax basis for all of those interests. If you own both Exchange Preferred Units and LP Units or Existing Preferred Units, please consult your tax adviser regarding the consequences of a guaranteed payment on your tax basis in your Exchange Preferred Units.

Limitations on Deductibility of Losses

Holders of Exchange Preferred Units will only be allocated loss once the capital accounts of the holders of LP Units have been reduced to zero. Although it is not anticipated that a U.S. Holder would be allocated loss, the deductibility of any such loss allocation may be limited for various reasons. In the event that you are allocated loss as a holder of Exchange Preferred Units, you should consult your tax adviser as to the application of any limitation to the deductibility of that loss.

S-64

Allocation of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, your allocable share of the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss, or deduction will be governed by the Partnership Agreement if such allocations have “substantial economic effect” or are determined to be in accordance with your interest in the Partnership. Similarly, the Partnership’s allocable share of items of income, gain, loss, or deduction of BILP will be governed by the BILP Partnership Agreement if such allocations have “substantial economic effect” or are determined to be in accordance with the Partnership’s interest in BILP.

In general, after giving effect to any special allocation provisions, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss, and deduction generally will be allocated among holders of LP Units in accordance with their percentage interests in the Partnership. U.S. Holders of Exchange Preferred Units are not expected to be allocated items of income or gain and will only be allocated net loss in the event that the capital accounts of the holders of LP Units have been reduced to zero.

The General Partner believes that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the foregoing allocations should be given effect, and the General Partner intends to prepare and file tax returns based on such allocations. If the IRS were to successfully challenge the allocations made pursuant to either the Partnership Agreement or BILP Partnership Agreement, then the resulting allocations for U.S. federal income tax purposes might be less favorable than the allocations set forth in such agreements.

The foregoing general summary is subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Companies” and “Controlled Foreign Corporations.”

Recognition of Gain or Loss from Taxable Disposition

You will recognize gain or loss on the sale or taxable exchange of the Exchange Preferred Units equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized and your tax basis in the Exchange Preferred Units sold or exchanged. Your amount realized will be measured by the sum of the cash or the fair market value of other property received plus your share of the Partnership’s liabilities, if any. As described above, you are not expected to be allocated any such liabilities.

Gain or loss recognized by you upon the sale or exchange of the Exchange Preferred Units generally will be taxable as capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Exchange Preferred Units were held for more than one year as of the date of such sale or exchange. We do not expect for any gain realized upon the sale or exchange of the Exchange Preferred Units to be characterized as ordinary income rather than as capital gain by reason of being attributable to “unrealized receivables” or “inventory items.” The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

The foregoing general summary is subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Companies” and “Controlled Foreign Corporations.”

Recognition of Gain or Loss on Taxable Redemption

In general, the receipt by a U.S. Holder of amounts in redemption of Exchange Preferred Units will result in the recognition of taxable gain to the holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes only if and to the extent the amount of redemption proceeds received exceeds such holder’s tax basis in all the partnership interests in the Partnership (including LP Units and Existing Preferred Units) held by such holder immediately before the redemption. Any such redemption of Exchange Preferred Units would result in the recognition of taxable loss to a U.S. Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes only if the holder does not hold any other partnership interests in the Partnership (including LP Units and Existing Preferred Units) immediately after the redemption and the holder’s tax basis in the redeemed Exchange Preferred Units exceeds the amounts received by the holder

S-65

in redemption thereof. Any taxable gain or loss recognized under the foregoing rules would be treated in the same manner as taxable gain or loss recognized on a sale of Exchange Preferred Units as described above under “Recognition of Gain or Loss from Taxable Disposition.”

Deduction for Qualified Business Income

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, non-corporate U.S. taxpayers who have domestic “qualified business income” from a partnership generally are, subject to limitations, entitled to a deduction equal to 20% of such qualified business income. The 20% deduction is also allowed for “qualified publicly traded partnership income.” However, the General Partner does not expect the 20% deduction to be available with respect to income or gain recognized with respect to Exchange Preferred Units. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the implications of the foregoing rules for your ownership of Exchange Preferred Units.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

A PFIC is defined as any foreign corporation with respect to which (after applying certain look-through rules) either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for a taxable year is “passive income” or (ii) 50% or more of its assets in any taxable year produce or are held for the production of “passive income.” There are no minimum stock ownership requirements for PFICs. If you hold an interest in a non-U.S. corporation for any taxable year during which the corporation is classified as a PFIC with respect to you, then the corporation will continue to be classified as a PFIC with respect to you for any subsequent taxable year during which you continue to hold an interest in the corporation, even if the corporation’s income or assets would not cause it to be a PFIC in such subsequent taxable year, unless an exception applies.

Based on our organizational structure, as well as our expected income and assets, the General Partner currently believes that a U.S. Holder is unlikely to be regarded as owning an interest in a PFIC solely by reason of owning the Exchange Preferred Units during the taxable year ending December 31, 2021. However, the General Partner believes that some of our operating entities may have been PFICs in prior taxable years, and there can be no assurance that an existing BIP Group entity or a future entity in which the Partnership acquires an interest will not be classified as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder, because PFIC status is a factual determination that depends on the assets and income of a given entity and must be made on an annual basis. In general, subject to the discussion in the following paragraph, if a U.S. person owns a partnership interest in the Partnership, then any gain realized on the disposition of stock of a PFIC owned by such U.S. person indirectly through the Partnership (including upon the disposition of such U.S. person’s partnership interest), as well as income realized on certain “excess distributions” by such PFIC, would be treated as though realized ratably over the shorter of such U.S. person’s holding period of the partnership interest in the Partnership or the Partnership’s holding period for the PFIC, subject to certain elections. Such gain or income generally would be taxable as ordinary income. In addition, an interest charge would apply, based on the tax deemed deferred from prior years.

Notwithstanding the general PFIC rules described above, based on the General Partner’s treatment of distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units as guaranteed payments for the use of capital, the General Partner expects to take the position, based on current law, that the PFIC rules generally do not apply to U.S. Holders whose indirect interest in a PFIC arises solely by reason of owning Exchange Preferred Units. In such case, gain on the disposition of stock of such a PFIC or income realized on excess distributions by such a PFIC should not be taxable to such U.S. Holders under the PFIC rules.

However, the treatment of preferred partnership interests under the PFIC rules is uncertain. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not treat a U.S. Holder as subject to the PFIC rules that apply to U.S. persons holding partnership interests in the Partnership generally. In such case, a U.S. Holder’s ownership of Exchange Preferred Units may produce taxable income that is not related to distributions on such units, such as income realized on excess distributions by a PFIC or gain from the disposition of stock of a PFIC. A U.S. Holder

S-66

may be required therefore to take such income into account in determining such holder’s gross income subject to tax. With respect to gain realized upon the sale of and excess distributions from a PFIC for which a “qualified electing fund” election for current inclusions is not made, such income would be taxable at ordinary income rates and subject to an additional tax equivalent to an interest charge on the deferral of income inclusions from the PFIC. Other adverse PFIC consequences generally applicable to U.S. holders of partnership interests in the Partnership may also apply, as described in more detail in “Consequences to U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Companies” in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Federal United States Income Tax Considerations” in the Annual Report. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your ownership and disposition of Exchange Preferred Units in light of your particular circumstances.

Controlled Foreign Corporations

A non-U.S. entity will be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (a “CFC”) if it is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and more than 50% of (i) the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the non-U.S. entity entitled to vote or (ii) the total value of the stock of the non-U.S. entity is owned by U.S. Shareholders on any day during the taxable year of such non-U.S. entity. For this purpose, a “U.S. Shareholder” with respect to a non-U.S. entity means a U.S. person (including a U.S. partnership) that owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the non-U.S. entity entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of the non-U.S. entity.

Based on our organizational structure, the General Partner currently believes that one or more of our existing Holding Entities and operating entities are likely to be classified as CFCs for certain purposes. In general, subject to the discussion in the following paragraph, if a U.S. partnership in which we own an interest is a U.S. Shareholder of a CFC, then you may be required to include in income your allocable share of the CFC’s “Subpart F” income. Subpart F income generally includes dividends, interest, net gain from the sale or disposition of securities, non-actively managed rents, and certain other generally passive types of income. Such inclusions will be treated as ordinary income (whether or not such inclusions are attributable to net capital gains).

Notwithstanding the general CFC rules described above, based on the treatment of distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units as guaranteed payments for the use of capital, the General Partner expects to take the position, based on current law, that the CFC rules generally do not apply to U.S. Holders whose indirect interest in a CFC arises solely by reason of owning Exchange Preferred Units. In such case, gain on the disposition of stock of such a CFC by such U.S. Holders (including indirectly, by reason of the disposition of Exchange Preferred Units by such holders) should not be taxable to such holders under the CFC rules. Nor does the General Partner currently anticipate allocating any gain from the disposition (including a deemed disposition) of stock of a CFC to such U.S. Holders. Consistent with this position, and taking into account proposed Treasury Regulations, the General Partners does not intend to allocate to any U.S. Holder any Subpart F income attributable to a subsidiary CFC, if such U.S. Holder’s interest in such CFC arises solely by reason of owning Exchange Preferred Units.

However, the treatment of preferred partnership interests under the CFC rules is uncertain. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not treat a U.S. Holder as subject to the CFC rules that apply to U.S. holders of partnership interests in the Partnership generally. In such case, a U.S. Holder’s ownership of Exchange Preferred Units may produce taxable income that is not related to distributions on such units, such as Subpart F income. The U.S. Holder may be required to take such income into account in determining the holder’s gross income subject to tax. With respect to gain realized upon the sale of a CFC, all or a portion of such gain may be taxable at ordinary income rates. Other adverse CFC consequences generally applicable to U.S. holders of partnership interests in the Partnership may also apply, as described in more detail in “Consequences to U.S. Holders — Controlled Foreign Corporations” in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Federal United States Income Tax Considerations” in the Annual Report. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the application of the CFC rules (including the proposed Treasury Regulations) to your ownership and disposition of Exchange Preferred Units in light of your particular circumstances.

S-67

U.S. Federal Estate Tax Consequences

If the Exchange Preferred Units are included in the gross estate of a U.S. citizen or resident for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, then a U.S. federal estate tax might be payable in connection with the death of such person. Individual U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers concerning the potential U.S. federal estate tax consequences with respect to the Exchange Preferred Units.

Tax-Exempt Organizations

Ownership of Exchange Preferred Units by U.S. tax-exempt organizations raises issues unique to them and may result in adverse tax consequences as described below to a limited extent and in “Consequences to U.S. Holders — U.S. Taxation of Tax-Exempt U.S. Holders of Our Units” in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Federal United States Income Tax Considerations” in the Annual Report. In general, employee benefit plans and most other organizations exempt from federal income tax, including individual retirement accounts and other retirement plans, are subject to U.S. federal income tax on “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”). The General Partner will treat distributions on the Exchange Preferred Units as guaranteed payments for the use of capital. Assuming the Partnership does not have income attributable to debt-financed property, the Exchange Preferred Units are not treated as debt-financed by the tax-exempt holder thereof, and the Partnership is not engaged in a trade or business, then the General Partner generally does not expect distributions on, or gain from the disposition of, Exchange Preferred Units to be treated as UBTI. However, we are not prohibited from financing the acquisition of property with debt, and the treatment of guaranteed payments for the use of capital to tax-exempt organizations is not certain. Depending on the circumstances, such payments, or gain from the disposition of Exchange Preferred Units, may be treated as UBTI for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you are a tax-exempt organization, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the consequences of your ownership and disposition of Exchange Preferred Units.

U.S. Withholding Taxes

Although U.S. Holders who own interests in the Partnership generally are required to provide us with an IRS Form W-9, we nevertheless may be unable to accurately or timely determine the tax status of our holders for purposes of determining whether U.S. withholding applies to payments made by the Partnership to some or all of the holders. In such a case, payments made by the Partnership to U.S. Holders might be subject to U.S. backup withholding at the applicable rate or other U.S. withholding taxes. You would be able to treat as a credit your allocable share of any U.S. withholding taxes paid in the taxable year in which such withholding taxes were paid and, as a result, you might be entitled to a refund of such taxes from the IRS. In the event you transfer or otherwise dispose of some or all of your Exchange Preferred Units, special rules might apply for purposes of determining whether you or the transferee of such units were subject to U.S. withholding taxes in respect of income allocable to, or distributions made on account of, such units or entitled to refunds of any such taxes withheld. See “Administrative Matters — Certain Effects of a Transfer of Units” in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Federal United States Income Tax Considerations” in the Annual Report. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the treatment of U.S. withholding taxes.

Taxes in Other Jurisdictions

In addition to U.S. federal income tax consequences, the ownership of an equity interest in the Partnership could subject you to U.S. state and local taxes in the U.S. state or locality in which you are a resident for tax purposes. You could also be subject to tax return filing obligations and income, franchise, or other taxes, including withholding taxes, in non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we invest. We will attempt, to the extent reasonably practicable, to structure our operations and investments so as to avoid income tax filing obligations by U.S. Holders in non-U.S. jurisdictions. However, there may be circumstances in which we are unable to do so.

Income or gain from investments held by the Partnership may be subject to withholding or other taxes in jurisdictions outside the United States, except to the extent an income tax treaty applies. If you wish to claim the

S-68

benefit of an applicable income tax treaty, you might be required to submit information to tax authorities in such jurisdictions. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. state, local, and non-U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Exchange Preferred Units.

Information Returns and Audit Procedures

We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to U.S. Holders of Exchange Preferred Units, within 90 days after the close of each calendar year, U.S. tax information (including IRS Schedule K-1), which describes on a U.S. dollar basis your share of the Partnership’s income, gain, loss, and deduction, if any, for our preceding taxable year. However, providing this U.S. tax information to our holders will be subject to delay in the event of, among other reasons, the late receipt of any necessary tax information from lower-tier entities. It is therefore possible that, in any taxable year, you will need to apply for an extension of time to file your own tax returns. In addition, holders of Exchange Preferred Units that do not ordinarily have U.S. federal tax filing requirements will not receive a Schedule K-1 and related information unless such holders request it within 60 days after the close of each calendar year. In preparing this U.S. tax information, we will use various accounting and reporting conventions to determine your share of income, gain, loss, and deduction. Some of these conventions have been mentioned in the preceding discussion or in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Federal United States Income Tax Consideration” in the Annual Report. The IRS may successfully contend that certain of these reporting conventions are impermissible, which could result in an adjustment to your income or loss. Due to administrative reporting limitations, and notwithstanding the rules described above under “Basis of Units” requiring aggregation of partnership interests purchased in separate transactions, you may receive separate Schedules K-1 for any other equity interests you hold in the Partnership, such as LP Units or Existing Preferred Units.

The Partnership may be audited by the IRS. Adjustments resulting from an IRS audit could require you to adjust a prior year’s tax liability and result in an audit of your own tax return. Any audit of your own tax return could result in adjustments not related to the Partnership’s tax returns, as well as those related to the Partnership’s tax returns. If the IRS makes an audit adjustment to our income tax returns, it may assess and collect any taxes (including penalties and interest) resulting from such audit adjustment directly from the Partnership instead of holders of Exchange Preferred Units or other equity interests in the Partnership (as under prior law). We may be permitted to elect to have the General Partner, U.S. Holders of Exchange Preferred Units, and other holders of equity interests in the Partnership take such audit adjustment into account in accordance with their interests in us during the taxable year under audit. However, there can be no assurance that we will choose to make such election or that it will be available in all circumstances. If we do not make the election, and we pay taxes, penalties, or interest as a result of an audit adjustment, then cash available for distribution might be substantially reduced. As a result, holders of equity interests in the Partnership, including U.S. Holders of Exchange Preferred Units, might bear some or all of the cost of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if such holders did not own partnership interests in the Partnership during the taxable year under audit. The foregoing considerations also apply with respect to the Partnership’s interest in BILP.

Pursuant to the partnership audit rules, a “partnership representative” designated by the Partnership will have the sole authority to act on behalf of our partnership in connection with any administrative or judicial review of the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit. In particular, our partnership representative will have the sole authority to bind both former and current holders of Exchange Preferred Units and to make certain elections on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to the partnership audit rules.

The application of the partnership audit rules to the Partnership and to holders of Exchange Preferred Units or other equity interests in the Partnership is uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the implications of the partnership audit rules for your ownership and disposition of Exchange Preferred Units.

S-69

Tax Shelter Regulations and Related Reporting Requirements

If we were to engage in a “reportable transaction,” we (and possibly U.S. Holders of Exchange Preferred Units) would be required to make a detailed disclosure of the transaction to the IRS in accordance with regulations governing tax shelters and other potentially tax-motivated transactions. A transaction may be a reportable transaction based upon any of several factors, including the fact that it is a type of tax avoidance transaction publicly identified by the IRS as a “listed transaction” or “transaction of interest,” or that it produces certain kinds of losses exceeding certain thresholds. An investment in the Partnership may be considered a “reportable transaction” if, for example, the Partnership were to recognize certain significant losses in the future. In certain circumstances, a holder of a partnership interest in the Partnership who disposes of an interest in a transaction resulting in the recognition by such holder of significant losses in excess of certain threshold amounts may be obligated to disclose its participation in such transaction. Certain of these rules are unclear, and the scope of reportable transactions can change retroactively. Therefore, it is possible that the rules may apply to transactions other than significant loss transactions.

Moreover, if we were to participate in a reportable transaction with a significant purpose to avoid or evade tax, or in any listed transaction, you might be subject to significant accuracy-related penalties with a broad scope, for those persons otherwise entitled to deduct interest on federal tax deficiencies, non-deductibility of interest on any resulting tax liability, and in the case of a listed transaction, an extended statute of limitations. We do not intend to participate in any reportable transaction with a significant purpose to avoid or evade tax, nor do we intend to participate in any listed transactions. However, no assurance can be provided that the IRS will not assert that we have participated in such a transaction.

You should consult your tax adviser concerning any possible disclosure obligation under the regulations governing tax shelters with respect to the disposition of the Exchange Preferred Units.

Taxable Year

The Partnership uses the calendar year as its taxable year for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under certain circumstances which the General Partner currently believes are unlikely to apply, a taxable year other than the calendar year may be required for such purposes.

Withholding and Backup Withholding

For each calendar year, we will report to U.S. Holders of Exchange Preferred Units and to the IRS the amount of distributions that we pay, and the amount of tax (if any) that we withhold on these distributions. The proper application to the Partnership of the rules for withholding under Sections 1441 through 1446 of the Code (applicable to certain dividends, interest, and amounts treated as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, among other items) is unclear. Because the documentation we receive may not properly reflect the identities of holders of the Exchange Preferred Units at any particular time (in light of possible sales of the Exchange Preferred Units), we may over-withhold or under-withhold with respect to a particular holder. For example, we may impose withholding, remit such amount to the IRS and thus reduce the amount of a distribution paid to a holder. It may be the case, however, that the corresponding amount of our income was not properly allocable to such holder, and the appropriate amount of withholding should have been less than the actual amount withheld. Such holder would be entitled to a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability for all withholding, including any such excess withholding. However, if the withheld amount were to exceed the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, the holder would need to apply for a refund to obtain the benefit of such excess withholding. Similarly, we may fail to withhold on a distribution, and it may be the case that the corresponding income was properly allocable to a holder and that withholding should have been imposed. In such case, we intend to pay the under-withheld amount to the IRS, and we may treat such under-withholding as an expense that will be borne indirectly by holders on a pro rata basis (since we may be unable to allocate any such excess withholding tax cost to the relevant holder).

S-70

Under the backup withholding rules, you may be subject to backup withholding tax with respect to distributions paid unless you: (i) are an exempt recipient and demonstrate this fact when required; or (ii) provide a taxpayer identification number, certify as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding tax, and otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding tax rules. A U.S. Holder that is exempt should certify such status on a properly completed IRS Form W-9. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to you will be allowed as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle you to a refund from the IRS, provided you supply the required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

If you do not timely provide the Partnership, or the applicable nominee, broker, clearing agent, or other intermediary, with IRS Form W-9, or such form is not properly completed, then the Partnership may become subject to U.S. backup withholding taxes in excess of what would have been imposed had the Partnership or the applicable intermediary received properly completed forms from all holders of partnership interests in the Partnership. For administrative reasons, and in order to maintain the fungibility of the publicly traded equity interests in the Partnership, such excess U.S. backup withholding taxes, and if necessary similar items, may be treated by the Partnership as an expense that will be borne indirectly by holders of partnership interests in the Partnership on a pro rata basis (e.g., since it may be impractical for us to allocate any such excess withholding tax cost to the holders that failed to timely provide the proper U.S. tax forms).

Foreign Account Tax Compliance

FATCA imposes a 30% withholding tax on “withholdable payments” made to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity,” unless such financial institution or entity satisfies certain information reporting or other requirements. Withholdable payments include certain U.S.-source income, such as interest, dividends, and other passive income. Proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate the requirement to withhold tax under FATCA on gross proceeds from the sale or disposition of property that can produce U.S.-source interest or dividends. The IRS has announced that taxpayers are permitted to rely on the proposed regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

We intend to comply with FATCA, so as to ensure that the 30% withholding tax does not apply to any withholdable payments received by the Partnership, BILP, the Holding Entities, or the operating entities. Nonetheless, the 30% withholding tax may apply to your allocable share of distributions attributable to withholdable payments, unless you properly certify your FATCA status on IRS Form W-9 and satisfy any additional requirements under FATCA.

In compliance with FATCA, information regarding certain holders’ ownership of the Exchange Preferred Units may be reported to the IRS or to a non-U.S. governmental authority. FATCA is subject to modification by an applicable intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another country, such as the agreement in effect between the United States and Bermuda for cooperation to facilitate the implementation of FATCA, or by future Treasury Regulations or guidance. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the consequences under FATCA of the ownership and disposition of Exchange Preferred Units.

Information Reporting with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets

Under Treasury Regulations, certain U.S. persons that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate fair market value exceeding either $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or $75,000 at any time during the taxable year generally are required to file an information report with respect to such assets on IRS Form 8938 with their tax returns. Significant penalties may apply to persons who fail to comply with these rules. Specified foreign financial assets include not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person, and any interest in a foreign entity. The failure to report information required under the current

S-71

regulations could result in substantial penalties and in the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to federal income tax returns filed by you. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the possible implications of these Treasury Regulations for the ownership and disposition of Exchange Preferred Units.

Allocations Between Transferors and Transferees

Holders owning Exchange Preferred Units as of the applicable record date with respect to a Distribution Payment Date will be entitled to receive the cash distribution with respect to their Exchange Preferred Units on the Distribution Payment Date. Purchasers of Exchange Preferred Units after such applicable record date will therefore not become entitled to receive a cash distribution on their Exchange Preferred Units until the next applicable record date.

Nominee Reporting

Persons who hold an interest in the Partnership as a nominee for another person may be required to furnish to us:

• the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the beneficial owner and the nominee;

• whether the beneficial owner is (i) a person that is not a U.S. person, (ii) a foreign government, an international organization, or any wholly owned agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, or (iii) a tax-exempt entity;

• the amount and description of Exchange Preferred Units held, acquired, or transferred for the beneficial owner; and

• specific information including the dates of acquisitions and transfers, means of acquisitions and transfers, and acquisition cost for purchases, as well as the amount of net proceeds from sales.

Brokers and financial institutions may be required to furnish additional information, including whether they are U.S. persons and specific information on Exchange Preferred Units they acquire, hold, or transfer for their own account. A penalty of $250 per failure (as adjusted for inflation), up to a maximum of $3,000,000 per calendar year (as adjusted for inflation), generally is imposed by the Code for the failure to report such information to us. The nominee is required to supply the beneficial owner of the Exchange Preferred Units with the information furnished to us.

New Legislation or Administrative or Judicial Action

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of holders of the Exchange Preferred Units depends, in some instances, on determinations of fact and interpretations of complex provisions of U.S. federal income tax law for which no clear precedent or authority may be available. You should be aware that the U.S. federal income tax rules, particularly those applicable to partnerships, are constantly under review (including currently) by the Congressional tax-writing committees and other persons involved in the legislative process, the IRS, the U.S. Treasury Department and the courts, frequently resulting in revised interpretations of established concepts, statutory changes, revisions to regulations, and other modifications and interpretations, any of which could adversely affect the value of the Exchange Preferred Units and be effective on a retroactive basis. For example, changes to the U.S. federal tax laws and interpretations thereof could make it more difficult or impossible for the Partnership to be treated as a partnership that is not taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, change the character or treatment of portions of the Partnership’s income, reduce the net amount of distributions available to our holders, or otherwise affect the tax considerations of owning the Exchange Preferred Units. Such changes could also affect or cause the Partnership to change the way it conducts its activities and adversely affect the value of the Exchange Preferred Units.

The Partnership’s organizational documents and agreements permit the General Partner to modify the Partnership Agreement from time to time, without the consent of U.S. Holders of Exchange Preferred Units, to

S-72

elect to treat the Partnership as a corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes, or to address certain changes in U.S. federal income tax regulations, legislation or interpretation. In some circumstances, such revisions could have a material adverse impact on some or all holders of the Exchange Preferred Units.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. THE TAX MATTERS RELATING TO THE PARTNERSHIP AND HOLDERS OF NOTES OR EXCHANGE PREFERRED UNITS ARE COMPLEX AND ARE SUBJECT TO VARYING INTERPRETATIONS. MOREOVER, THE EFFECT OF EXISTING INCOME TAX LAWS, THE MEANING AND IMPACT OF WHICH IS UNCERTAIN, AND OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN INCOME TAX LAWS WILL VARY WITH THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH HOLDER OF NOTES OR EXCHANGE PREFERRED UNITS, AND IN REVIEWING THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT THESE MATTERS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. EACH INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ANY INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES.

S-73

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to the Issuer, and Goodmans LLP, Canadian counsel to the underwriters (together, “Counsel”), the following is a general summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder of Notes or Exchange Preferred Units who acquires, as beneficial owner, Notes pursuant to this offering and any Exchange Preferred Units on the exchange of such Notes and who, for purposes of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”) and at all relevant times, (i) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada; (ii) deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with the Issuer, the Guarantors, their respective affiliates and the underwriters; (iii) deals at arm’s length with any transferee resident (or deemed to be resident) in Canada to whom the holder disposes of a Note; (iv) holds Notes and will hold any Exchange Preferred Units as capital property; (v) does not, and is not deemed to, use or hold the Notes or Exchange Preferred Units in a business carried on in Canada; and (vi) is not a “specified shareholder” (as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act) of the Issuer or a person who does not deal at arm’s length with such a “specified shareholder” (a “Non-Resident Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a non-resident of Canada that is an insurer which carries on business in Canada and elsewhere, or that is an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act). Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors. This summary assumes that no interest paid on the Notes will be in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with whom the Issuer or the Guarantors do not deal at arm’s length within the meaning of the Tax Act.

This summary is based on the facts set out in this prospectus supplement, the current provisions of the Tax Act and the Regulations in force as of the date of this prospectus supplement, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and Counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurance can be given that such proposals will be enacted in their current form or at all. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or CRA administrative policies or assessing practices, whether by way of legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or consider any other federal tax considerations or any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ materially from those discussed herein.

Generally, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Notes or Exchange Preferred Units must be determined in Canadian dollars. Any such amount that is expressed or denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars must be converted into Canadian dollars using the relevant exchange rate determined in accordance with the Tax Act.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Non-Resident Holder and no representation with respect to the income tax consequences to any particular Non-Resident Holder is made. Prospective purchasers of Notes should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Notes and Exchange Preferred Units having regard to their own particular circumstances.

Notes

Interest on and disposition of Notes

Under the Tax Act, interest, principal and premium, if any, paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, to a Non-Resident Holder on Notes will not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax. No other taxes on income (including taxable capital gains) will be payable under the Tax Act in respect of the

acquisition, holding, redemption or disposition of Notes, or the receipt of interest, premium or principal thereon by a Non-Resident Holder solely as a consequence of such acquisition, holding, redemption or disposition of Notes.

S-74

Automatic Exchange

An exchange of Notes into Exchange Preferred Units pursuant to an Automatic Exchange will result in a disposition of such Notes for purposes of the Tax Act for proceeds equal to the fair market value of the Exchange Preferred Units which the Non-Resident Holder acquires on the exchange, not including any amount considered to be interest. A Non-Resident Holder will not generally be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of such disposition. The aggregate cost to a Non-Resident Holder of the Exchange Preferred Units acquired on an Automatic Exchange will be equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of the Automatic Exchange.

Exchange Preferred Units

For a discussion of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations associated with the Partnership’s operations and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of LP Units, see Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Annual Report.

BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC are acting as joint book-running managers of this offering and as representatives of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting agreement, dated the date of this prospectus supplement, each underwriter named below has severally and not jointly agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to that underwriter, at the public offering price less the underwriters’ fee set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the underwriter’s name.

[We have granted to the underwriters an Over-Allotment Option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to $                 aggregate principal amount of additional Notes at the offering price less the underwriting discount. To the extent the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, each underwriter must purchase a number of additional Notes approximately proportionate to that underwriter’s initial purchase commitment. Any Notes issued or sold under the Over-Allotment Option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other Notes that are the subject of this offering.] [There is no over-allotment option in connection with the offering.]

One or more of the underwriters may sell to an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management up to approximately $             Notes at the public offering price.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Notes included in this offering, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel, including the validity of the Notes, and to other conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all of the Notes if they purchase any of the Notes.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Notes may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the representatives of the underwriters under certain circumstances that would make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with this offering. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part. The offering price and the other terms of the Notes have been determined by negotiation among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the underwriters.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and any Canadian securities laws, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

The Notes are a new class of securities and do not have an established trading market. We intend to apply to list the Notes on the NYSE. If the application is approved, we expect trading of the Notes on the NYSE to begin

S-76

within 30 days after their original issue date. We have been advised by the underwriters that they intend to make a market in the Notes pending any listing of the Note on the NYSE, but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making at any time without notice. We cannot assure that the Notes will be approved for listing by the NYSE, that an active trading market on the NYSE for the Notes will develop or, even if it develops, will last. If an active trading market for the Notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected. If an active trading market does develop on the NYSE, the Notes may trade at prices lower than the offering price. The trading price of the Notes would depend on many factors, including the trading price of our LP Units, prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic and financial market conditions, the credit ratings of the Notes, our issuance of debt or other preferred securities or the incurrence of additional indebtedness and our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are under no obligation to, and do not intend to, list the Exchange Preferred Units on any stock exchange or other market.

Commissions and Discounts

The Notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any Notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the public offering price not to exceed $                 per $25 principal amount of Notes sold to institutional investors and $     per $25 principal amount of Notes sold to retail investors. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed $                 per Note on sales to other dealers. If all the Notes are not sold at the public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering.

	Discount and Commissions(1)
	Retail	Institutional
Per Note	$	$
Total (without exercise of the Over-Allotment Option)	$	$
Total (assuming exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in full)	$	$

(1) There will be no underwriting discount or commissions paid for any Notes purchased by affiliates of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. in this offering.

The estimated offering expenses payable by us (excluding the underwriting discount) are approximately $                million, which includes legal, accounting and printing costs, SEC filings fees, NYSE listing fees and various other fees associated with registering the Notes and this offering.

No Sales of Similar Securities

For a period of 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, the Issuer and the Partnership will not, without the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Issuer or the Partnership or the General Partner or any controlled affiliate of Partnership or the General Partner or any person in privity with the Partnership or the General Partner or any controlled affiliate of the Partnership or the General Partner, directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the SEC in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or announce the

S-77

offering, in the United States of (i) any units of any class of capital stock of the Partnership (other than the Exchange Preferred Units) that is preferred as to the payment of distributions, or as to the distribution of assets upon any liquidation or dissolution of the partnership, over the LP Units (including any units of any class of partnership interests of the Partnership (other than the Exchange Preferred Units) that ranks equally with the Exchange Preferred Units as to the payment of distributions or as to the distribution of assets upon any liquidation or dissolution of the Partnership (other than any Existing Canadian Preferred Units that are issued upon re-classification in accordance with terms of the corresponding series of Existing Canadian Preferred Units as described in “Description of the Exchange Preferred Units — Description of Class A Preferred Units — Series”)), or (ii) any subordinate debt securities of the Partnership or securities exchangeable or convertible into subordinate debt securities of the Partnership which are substantially similar to the Notes. This provision shall not prohibit any disposition or offering by the Partnership, the General Partner, their respective controlled affiliates or any other person of (i) the Class A Preferred Units outside of the United States, (ii) the LP Units and securities convertible into, or otherwise exchangeable for, LP Units, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the SEC or any prospectus in respect of LP Units and securities convertible into, or otherwise exchangeable for, LP Units, in each case, as contemplated by the Forms F-1 and F-3 (as amended from time to time) filed by the Partnership and BIPC with the SEC, or (iii) debt securities of the Partnership or its subsidiaries or securities exchangeable or convertible into debt securities of the Partnership or its subsidiaries which rank senior to the Notes.

Price Stabilization; Short Positions

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell Notes in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions, which may include stabilizing purchases and purchases pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option. Short sales involve secondary market sales by the underwriters of a greater principal amount of Notes than they are required to purchase in this offering. The underwriters must close out any short positions by purchasing Notes in the open market or by exercising the Over-Allotment Option. Covering transactions involve purchases of the Notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed to cover short positions. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase Notes so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

Purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes. They may also cause the price of the Notes to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.

Other Relationships

The underwriters and their respective affiliates have performed commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for us and our affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent

S-78

with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Selling Restrictions

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus supplement may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus supplement or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus supplement comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

This prospectus supplement does not constitute an offer of the Notes, directly or indirectly, in Canada or to residents of Canada. The Notes offered under this prospectus are not being, and may not be, offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Canada or to any resident of Canada.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area

This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the securities referred to herein in any member state of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in a member state of the EEA of Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer. The expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. This paragraph is subject to the paragraph below.

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”), (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the United Kingdom

This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the securities referred to herein in the United Kingdom (“UK”) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the UK Prospectus Regulation from

S-79

the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in the UK of Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the UK Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer. The expression “UK Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“EUWA”). This paragraph is subject to the paragraph below.

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

This prospectus supplement is for distribution only to persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the “Financial Promotion Order”), (ii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) (i.e., high net worth companies, unincorporated associations etc.) of the Financial Promotion Order, (iii) are outside the United Kingdom, or (iv) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the FSMA) in connection with the issue or sale of any securities may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”). This prospectus supplement is directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons. Any investment or investment activity to which this prospectus supplement relates is available only to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons.

Notice to Prospective Investors in Hong Kong

The Notes have not been offered or sold and will not be offered or sold in Hong Kong, by means of any document, other than (a) to “professional investors” as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong and any rules made under that Ordinance; or (b) in other circumstances which do not result in the document being a “prospectus” as defined in the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32) of Hong Kong or which do not constitute an offer to the public within the meaning of that Ordinance. No advertisement, invitation or document relating to the Notes has been or may be issued or has been or may be in the possession of any person for the purposes of issue, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public of Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to the Notes which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance and any rules made under that Ordinance.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) that the Partnership, Finco and the other Guarantors filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a shelf registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the Partnership, Finco and the Guarantors may offer the Securities in one or more offerings. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the Securities. Each time the Partnership, Finco and/or the other Guarantors offers Securities, either separately or together, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.

Before you invest, you should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, together with additional information incorporated by reference and described under the heading “Documents Incorporated by Reference.” This prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement, certain parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. You should refer to the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto for further information with respect to us and the Securities that may be offered hereunder.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any “free writing prospectus” we have authorized to be delivered to you. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with additional, different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any “free writing prospectus” we may authorize to be delivered to you, as well as the information we previously filed with the SEC, that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement, is accurate as of any date other than its respective date. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since such dates.

The Partnership, Finco and the Guarantors are offering to sell the Securities, and is seeking offers to buy the Securities, only in jurisdictions where such offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any “free writing prospectus” and the offering of the Securities in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and/or any “free writing prospectus” must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any “free writing prospectus” outside the United States. This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any “free writing prospectus” do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation.

Unless the context requires otherwise, when used in this prospectus, the term “Partnership” refers to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. alone; the terms “Brookfield Infrastructure,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to, collectively, the Partnership, BILP, the Holding Entities and the operating entities but excluding Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”); the term “Holding Entities” refers to certain holding subsidiaries of BILP, through which we hold all of our interests in our operating entities; the term “operating entities” refers to the entities which directly or indirectly hold our current operations and assets that we may acquire in the future, including any assets held through joint ventures, partnerships and consortium arrangements; and the term “General Partner” refers to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Limited, the Partnership’s general partner.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and/or “free writing prospectus”, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, contain certain “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws. The forward-looking statements and information relate to, among other things, our business, operations, objectives, goals, strategies, intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations and estimates and anticipated events or trends. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements and information by terms such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “likely”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “continue”, “plan”, “potential”, “objective”, “tend”, “seek”, “target”, “foresee”, “aim to”, “outlook”, “endeavor”, “will”, “would” and “should” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements and information are not historical facts but reflect our current expectations regarding future results or events and are based on information currently available to us and on assumptions we believe are reasonable.

Although we believe that our anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based on reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us or are within our control. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and our plans and strategies may vary materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements and information in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement and/or any “free writing prospectus”, and in any of the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by the forward-looking statements and information in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and/or any “free writing prospectus”, and the documents incorporated herein and therein, include, without limitation: general economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate and elsewhere which may impact the markets for our products or services, the ability to achieve growth within Brookfield Infrastructure’s businesses, our ability to achieve the milestones necessary to deliver the targeted returns to our unitholders, which is uncertain, some of which depends on access to capital and continuing favorable commodity prices, the impact of market conditions on our businesses, including as a result of the recent novel coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”), the fact that success of Brookfield Infrastructure is dependent on market demand for an infrastructure company, which is unknown, the availability of equity and debt financing for Brookfield Infrastructure, the ability to effectively complete new acquisitions in the competitive infrastructure space (including potential acquisitions that remain subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent, and the inability to reach final agreement with counterparties to transactions being currently pursued, given that there can be no assurance that any such transaction will be agreed to or completed) and to integrate acquisitions into existing operations, changes in technology which have the potential to disrupt the businesses and industries in which we invest, the market conditions of key commodities, the price, supply or demand for which can have a significant impact upon the financial and operating performance of our business, regulatory decisions affecting our regulated businesses, our ability to secure favorable contracts, weather events affecting our business, traffic volumes on our toll road businesses, pandemics or epidemics, and other risks and factors described in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and/or “free writing prospectus”, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, including the Annual Report and the Q1 Interim Report (each as defined below). In addition, our future results may be impacted by risks associated with a global pandemic caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, and the related global reduction in commerce and travel and substantial volatility in stock markets worldwide, which may result in a decrease of cash flows and impairment losses and/or revaluations on our investments and infrastructure assets, and we may be unable to achieve our expected returns.

3

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements and information to make decisions with respect to an investment in our securities, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described by our forward-looking statements and information might not occur. These risks could cause our actual results and our plans and strategies to vary from our forward-looking statements and information. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements and information by these cautionary factors. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements or information, whether written or oral, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

BROOKFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS L.P.

The Partnership is a Bermuda exempted limited partnership that was formed on May 21, 2007 under the provisions of the Exempted Partnerships Act 1992 of Bermuda and the Limited Partnership Act 1883 of Bermuda. The Partnership’s head and registered office is located at 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda and its telephone number at that address is +1 441 294-3309. The Partnership was spun-off from Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and certain of its affiliates on January 31, 2008. Brookfield Infrastructure is a leading global infrastructure company that owns and operates high-quality, essential, long-life assets in the utilities, transport, midstream and data sectors across North and South America, Asia Pacific and Europe. It is focused on assets that have contracted and regulated revenues that generate predictable and stable cash flows. For additional information, please refer to our Annual Report.

The Partnership’s sole material assets are its managing general partnership interest and preferred limited partnership interest in BILP. The Partnership serves as BILP’s managing general partner and has sole authority for the management and control of BILP. We anticipate that the only distributions that the Partnership will receive in respect of its managing general partnership interest and preferred limited partnership interest in BILP will consist of amounts that are intended to assist the Partnership in making distributions to holders of LP Units in accordance with the Partnership’s distribution policy, to holders of the Partnership’s Preferred LP Units in accordance with the terms of the Preferred LP Units and to allow the Partnership to pay expenses as they become due. The declaration and payment of cash distributions by the Partnership is at the discretion of the General Partner and subject to the solvency requirements under Bermuda law. The Partnership is not required to make such distributions and neither the Partnership nor the General Partner can assure you that the Partnership will make such distributions as intended.

The actual application of proceeds from the sale of any particular offering of Securities covered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering.

DESCRIPTION OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS

The Partnership may issue LP Units in one or more offerings pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. The description of the LP Units contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein summarize or will summarize all the material terms and provisions of the LP Units, together with any material U.S. and Canadian federal income tax considerations related to such LP Units. If we indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the LP Units may differ from the terms we have summarized below.

The LP Units are non-voting limited partnership interests in the Partnership. Holders of LP Units are not entitled to the withdrawal or return of capital contributions in respect of the LP Units, except to the extent, if any, that distributions are made to such holders pursuant to the Partnership’s limited partnership agreement or upon the liquidation of the Partnership as described in the Annual Report or as otherwise required by applicable law. Except to the extent expressly provided in the Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, a holder of LP Units will not have priority over any other holder of LP Units, either as to the return of capital contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions. The LP Units rank junior to the Preferred LP Units with respect to priority in the payment of distributions and in the distribution of the assets of the Partnership in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, as further described in the Annual Report. Holders of LP Units will not be granted any preemptive or other similar right to acquire additional interests in the Partnership. In addition, holders of LP Units do not have any right to have their LP Units redeemed by the Partnership.

For a more detailed description of the LP Units, please refer to the Annual Report, as updated by the Partnership’s subsequent filings with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS

The Partnership may issue Preferred LP Units in one or more offerings pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. The description of the Preferred LP Units contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein summarize or will summarize all the material terms and provisions of the Preferred LP Units, together

9

with any material U.S. and Canadian federal income tax considerations relating to such Preferred LP Units. If we indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the Preferred LP Units may differ from the terms we have summarized below.

The Partnership may issue additional series of the Partnership’s Class A Preferred LP Units (the “Class A Preferred Units”) or may issue any other class or series of Preferred LP Units. As of May 13, 2021, the Partnership had eight series of Class A Preferred Units outstanding: Series 1, Series 3, Series 5, Series 7, Series 9, Series 11, Series 13 and Series 14. The Series 1, Series 3, Series 5, Series 7, Series 9 and Series 11 Class A Preferred Units are listed on the TSX under the symbols “BIP.PR.A,” “BIP.PR.B,” “BIP.PR.C,” “BIP.PR.D,” “BIP.PR.E” and “BIP.PR.F,” respectively. The Series 13 and Series 14 Class A Preferred Units are listed on the NYSE under the symbols “BIP.PR.A” and “BIP.PR.B,” respectively. The Class A Preferred Units are non-voting limited partnership interests in the Partnership. Holders of Class A Preferred Units are not entitled to the withdrawal or return of capital contributions in respect of Class A Preferred Units, except to the extent, if any, that distributions are made to such holders pursuant to the Partnership’s limited partnership agreement or upon the liquidation of the Partnership as described in the Annual Report or as otherwise required by applicable law. The Class A Preferred Units rank senior to the LP Units with respect to priority in the return of capital contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions. The Class A Preferred Units may be issued in series. Each series of Class A Preferred Units ranks on a parity with every other series of the Class A Preferred Units with respect to priority in the return of capital contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions.

For a more detailed description of the Class A Preferred Units, please refer to the Annual Report, as updated by the Partnership’s subsequent filings with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Debt Securities and the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors. The particular terms and provisions of the series of Debt Securities and the related guarantees offered by a prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply thereto, will be described in such prospectus supplement.

The Debt Securities will be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be entered into among Finco, as the issuer (the “Issuer”), the Partnership, BILP, Bermuda Holdco, Can Holdco, US Holdco and BIPC Holdings, each as a guarantor, the additional guarantors from time to time party thereto (collectively, for purposes of this “Description of Debt Securities” and as used in the Indenture, the “Guarantors”), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee (the “Canadian Trustee”, and together with the U.S. Trustee, the “Trustees”), or such other trustees named in the Indenture. The Partnership will fully and unconditionally guarantee the Debt Securities as a Guarantor under the Indenture, and each of BILP, Bermuda Holdco, Can Holdco, US Holdco and BIPC Holdings will also guarantee

10

the Debt Securities, unless otherwise provided for in respect of a series of Debt Securities in one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture in respect of such series of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities may be issued under one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture as we and the applicable Trustee(s) may enter into in the future. Any such supplemental indentures under which any Debt Securities are issued will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The Indenture is subject to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939. A form of the Indenture has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. The Indenture will also be available on the Partnership’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

The following statements with respect to the Indenture and the Debt Securities to be issued thereunder are brief summaries of certain provisions of the Indenture and do not purport to be complete; such statements are subject to the detailed referenced provisions of the Indenture, including the definition of capitalized terms used under this caption. Wherever a particular section or defined term of the Indenture is referred to, the statement is qualified in its entirety by such section or term. References to the “Issuer” refer to Finco as issuer under the Indenture.

General

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities (which may include debentures, notes and other evidences of indebtedness) which may be issued thereunder, and Debt Securities may be issued under the Indenture from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in foreign currencies or units based on or relating to foreign currencies. Special Canadian and United States federal income tax considerations applicable to any Debt Securities so denominated will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Indenture permits the Issuer to increase the principal amount of any series of Debt Securities previously issued by it and to issue such increased principal amount.

All Debt Securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Partnership and may also be guaranteed by BILP, Bermuda Holdco, Can Holdco, US Holdco and BIPC Holdings, together with any additional Guarantors, in each case subject to customary release provisions applicable to the Guarantors (other than the Partnership).

The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the following terms relating to the particular offered Debt Securities: (1) the specific designation of the offered Debt Securities and the indenture under which they are issued; (2) any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the offered Debt Securities; (3) the date or dates, if any, on which the offered Debt Securities will mature and the portion (if less than all of the principal amount) of the offered Debt Securities to be payable upon declaration of acceleration of maturity; (4) the rate or rates per annum (which may be fixed or variable) at which the offered Debt Securities will bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which any such interest will accrue and on which any such interest will be payable and the regular record dates for any interest payable on the offered Debt Securities which are in registered form (“Registered Debt Securities”); (5) any mandatory or optional redemption or sinking fund provisions, including the period or periods within which the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which the offered Debt Securities may be redeemed or purchased at the option of the Issuer or otherwise; (6) whether the offered Debt Securities will be issuable in registered form or bearer form or both and, if issuable in bearer form, the restrictions as to the offer, sale and delivery of the offered Debt Securities in bearer form and as to exchanges between registered and bearer form; (7) whether the offered Debt Securities will be issuable in the form of one or more registered global securities (“Registered Global Securities”) and, if so, the identity of the depositary for such Registered Global Securities; (8) the denominations in which any of the offered Debt Securities will be issuable if in other than denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof; (9) each office or agency where the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the offered Debt Securities will be payable and each office or

11

agency where the offered Debt Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange; (10) if other than U.S. dollars, the foreign currency or the units based on or relating to foreign currencies in which the offered Debt Securities are denominated and/or in which the payment of the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the offered Debt Securities will or may be payable; (11) any applicable terms or conditions related to the addition or removal of any co-obligor or Guarantor in respect of any or all series of Debt Securities; and (12) any other terms of the offered Debt Securities, including any applicable subordination provisions, exchange or conversion terms, covenants and additional Events of Default (as defined below). Special Canadian and United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the offered Debt Securities, the amount of principal thereof and any premium and interest thereon will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Indenture will not afford the Holders the right to tender Debt Securities to the Issuer for repurchase, or provide for any increase in the rate or rates of interest per annum at which the Debt Securities will bear interest, in the event the Issuer or any Guarantor should become involved in a highly leveraged transaction or in the event of a change in control of the Issuer or any Guarantor.

Debt Securities may be issued bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance, to be offered and sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. The Canadian and United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any such discounted Debt Securities or other Debt Securities offered and sold at par which are treated as having been issued at a discount for Canadian and/or United States federal income tax purposes will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.

The Debt Securities will be direct obligations of the Issuer and will be senior or subordinated, as applicable, indebtedness of the Issuer as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Each Guarantor’s guarantee of the Debt Securities will be unsecured senior or subordinated, as applicable, indebtedness of each such Guarantor as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the Debt Securities and the guarantees thereof by the Guarantors will be unsecured obligations. The Debt Securities and the guarantees by the Guarantors will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The guarantees by the Guarantors of the Debt Securities will guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities issued by the Issuer, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise.

Form, Denomination, Exchange and Transfer

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, Debt Securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Debt Securities may be presented for exchange and Registered Debt Securities may be presented for registration of transfer in the manner, at the places and, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Indenture and in the applicable prospectus supplement, without service charge, but upon payment of any taxes or the governmental charges due in connection therewith. The Issuer will appoint, as applicable, the U.S. Trustee as security registrar under the Indenture.

Payment

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of the principal of, and any premium and interest on, Registered Debt Securities (other than a Registered Global Security) will be made at the office or agency of the U.S. Trustee, in its capacity as paying agent, in New York, New York or Toronto, Ontario, except that, at the option of the Issuer, payment of any interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the

12

address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the applicable security register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the applicable security register. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of any interest due on Registered Debt Securities will be made to the Persons in whose name such Registered Debt Securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest payment.

Registered Global Securities

The Registered Debt Securities of a particular series may be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities which will be registered in the name of, and deposited with, one or more sepositaries or nominees, each of which will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to such series. Unless and until exchanged, in whole or in part, for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such Registered Global Security to a nominee of such depositary, by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor.

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a particular series of Debt Securities to be represented by a Registered Global Security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a Registered Global Security, the depositary therefor or its nominee will credit, on its book entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of the Debt Securities represented by such Registered Global Security to the accounts of such persons having accounts with such depositary or its nominee (“participants”) as shall be designated by the underwriters, investment dealers or agents participating in the distribution of such Debt Securities or by the Issuer if such Debt Securities are offered and sold directly by the Issuer. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Registered Global Security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Registered Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary therefor or its nominee (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or persons that hold through participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states in the United States require certain purchasers of securities to take physical delivery thereof in definitive form. Such depositary arrangements and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Registered Global Security.

So long as the depositary for a Registered Global Security or its nominee is the registered owner thereof, such depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Debt Securities represented by such Registered Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Registered Global Security will not be entitled to have Debt Securities of the series represented by such Registered Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on a Registered Global Security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to such depositary or nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of such Registered Global Security. None of the Issuer or Trustees or any paying agent for Debt Securities of the series represented by such Registered Global Security will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial interests in such Registered Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

We expect that the depositary for a Registered Global Security or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Registered Global Security as

13

shown on the records of such depositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Registered Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name”, and will be the responsibility of such participants.

No Registered Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities registered, and no transfer of a Registered Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the depositary for such Registered Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such depositary (i) has notified the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Registered Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor securities depositary is not obtained, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Registered Global Security, (C) the Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that the Securities of such series shall no longer be represented by such Registered Global Security and executes and delivers to the Trustees the Issuer order that such Registered Global Security shall be so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registerable or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated in the Indenture.

Events of Default

Unless otherwise indicated in any prospectus supplement, the Indenture will provide that the following will constitute an event of default (the “Events of Default”) under the Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of any series issued by the Issuer: (a) failure to pay principal of, or any premium on, any Debt Security of that series when due at maturity; (b) failure to pay any interest on any Debt Securities of that series when due, which failure continues for 30 days; (c) failure of the Issuer and/or any Guarantor in respect of the Debt Securities of that series to perform, as applicable, any other covenant in the Indenture (other than a covenant included in such indentures solely for the benefit of a series other than that series), which failure continues for 60 days after written notice has been given by the respective Trustees or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding securities of that series, as provided in the Indenture; (d) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Partnership or the Issuer; and (e) any other Events of Default provided with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default related to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Partnership or the Issuer) with respect to the Debt Securities of any series at the time outstanding shall occur and be continuing either the applicable U.S. Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding securities of that series by notice, as provided in the Indenture, may declare the principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default related to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Partnership or the Issuer occurs with respect to the Debt Securities of any series at the time outstanding, the principal amount of all the Debt Securities of that series will automatically, and without any action by the applicable Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal (or other specified amount), have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. For information as to waiver of defaults, see “—Modification and Waiver” below.

The Indenture will provide that the applicable Trustees will be under no obligation to exercise any of their rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the applicable Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to such Trustees indemnity. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the particular Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of any series issued under the Indenture will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to such Trustees or exercising any trust or power conferred on such Trustees with respect to the Debt Securities of that series.

14

No Holder of a Debt Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (i) such Holder has previously given to the applicable Trustees written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of that series, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series, in the case of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default related to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Partnership or the Issuer), or, in the case of any Event of Default related to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Partnership or the Issuer that has occurred with respect to the Debt Securities of any series at the time outstanding, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities, have made a written request, and such Holder or Holders have offered reasonable indemnity, and (iii) the applicable U.S. Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding, and has not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer. However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Debt Security for the enforcement of payment of the principal of, or of any premium or interest on, such Debt Security on or after the applicable due date specified in such Debt Security.

The Issuer will be required under the Indenture to furnish to the Trustees a quarterly statement by certain of its officers as to whether or not any of the Issuer and/or the Guarantor(s), as applicable, to the Issuer’s knowledge, is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture and, if so, specifying all such known defaults. The applicable Trustee will be required, within 30 days after it becomes aware of its occurrence, to give to the Holders, notice of every Event of Default arising under the Indenture and continuing at the time that the notice is given, unless the Trustees reasonably believe that it is in the best interests of the Holders to withhold the notice and so informs the Issuer or Guarantor in writing.

Defeasance

The Indenture provides that, at the option of the Issuer, the Issuer will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of any outstanding Debt Securities upon irrevocable deposit with the applicable U.S. Trustee, in trust, of money and/or Government Obligations which will provide money, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay and discharge the principal of or premium, if any, and, except in the case of any Debt Securities that do not provide for a fixed maturity date, each installment of interest, if any, on such outstanding Debt Securities (“Defeasance”). Such trust may only be established if certain customary conditions precedent are satisfied, including, among other things, confirmation that Holders will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance (as defined below) option described in the following paragraph if the Issuer meets the conditions precedent at the time the Issuer exercises the Defeasance option. Upon the completion of any Defeasance in respect of any Debt Securities, each Guarantor in respect of such series of Debt Securities shall be deemed to have been unconditionally and irrevocably released from all obligations under this Indenture in respect of such Debt Securities, without the need for any notice, document or action.

The Indenture provides that, at the option of the Issuer, unless and until the Issuer has exercised its Defeasance option described in the preceding paragraph, the Issuer may omit to comply with certain obligations and covenants provided for the benefit of the holder of certain Debt Securities or series thereof and such omission shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default under the Indenture and such outstanding Debt Securities or series upon the irrevocable deposit with the applicable U.S. Trustee, in trust, of money and/or Government Obligations which will provide money, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay and discharge the principal of and premium, if any, and each instalment of interest, if any, on such outstanding Debt Securities or series thereof (“Covenant Defeasance”). In the event the Issuer exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any such obligations

15

and covenants that have defeased. Such trust may only be established if certain customary conditions precedent are satisfied, including, among other things, confirmation that Holders will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance.

Modification and Waiver

Modifications and amendments of an Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities may be made by the Partnership, the Issuer, the other applicable Guarantors and the applicable Trustees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series affected by such modification(s) or amendment(s); provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Debt Security affected thereby (a) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any outstanding Debt Security, (b) reduce the principal amount of (or the premium), or interest on, any outstanding Debt Security, (c) reduce the amount of the principal of any outstanding Debt Security payable upon the acceleration of the maturity thereof, (d) change the dates or times on which the Debt Securities of a series may be redeemed or repurchased; (e) change the currency of payment of principal of (or the premium), or interest on, any outstanding Debt Security, (f) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any outstanding Debt Security, (g) reduce the above-stated percentage of outstanding Debt Securities necessary to modify or amend the Indenture, (h) reduce the percentage of aggregate principal amount of outstanding securities necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults, (i) modify any provisions of the Indenture relating to the modification and amendment of the Indenture or the waiver of past defaults or covenants, or (j) release the Partnership from its guarantee under the Indenture.

The Indenture will provide that the Issuer, the Partnership and the other Guarantors from time to time party thereto may modify and amend the Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities without the consent of any Holder of such Debt Securities for any of the following purposes: (a) to add limitations or restrictions to be observed upon the amount or issue of Debt Securities under the Indenture, provided that such limitations or restrictions shall not be materially adverse to the interests of Holders; (b) to evidence the succession of another person to the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, under the Indenture and in respect of such Debt Securities; (c) to evidence the addition of a co-obligor or Guarantor in respect of any or all series of the Debt Securities under the Indenture, as may be permitted in accordance with the terms of such Debt Securities; (d) to add to the covenants of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, for the benefit of the Holders of any series of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or power in the Indenture conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable; (e) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such additional Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such additional Events of Default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series); (f) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities, provided that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (A) apply to any Debt Security of any series created prior to the execution of the applicable supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (B) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Debt Security with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such Debt Security outstanding; (g) to secure the Debt Securities pursuant to the requirements of any provision in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or otherwise; (h) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted under the Indenture and, if required, to provide for the appointment of any additional trustees and/or other agents; (i) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under such Indenture by a successor trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions in such Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of such Indenture; (j) to add to or change any of the provisions of such Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities in bearer form, registrable

16

or not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest coupons, or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities in uncertificated form; (k) to comply with any requirements of applicable Trust Indenture Laws, including without limitation in connection with qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; (l) to make any other changes in the provisions of the Indenture which the Issuer may deem necessary or desirable provided that such amendment does not adversely impact the interests of Holders of Debt Securities of any series in any material adverse respect; or (m) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the Indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision therein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising thereunder.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of any series of Debt Securities, on behalf of all Holders of outstanding securities of such series, may waive compliance by the Issuer with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture. Subject to certain rights of the particular Trustees, as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of one or more series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture, on behalf of all Holders of outstanding securities of such series, may waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest or in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Debt Security of such series affected.

Consent to Jurisdiction and Service under Indenture

The Indenture will provide, that the Issuer and the non-U.S. Guarantors irrevocably appoint Brookfield Infrastructure US Holdings I Corporation, located at 250 Vesey Street, 15^th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1023, as their agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture and the Debt Securities and for actions brought under federal or state securities laws brought in any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York and submit to such jurisdiction.

Enforceability of Judgments

Since a substantial portion of the Issuer’s, the Partnership’s and the other Guarantors’ assets are or may be outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against the Issuer, the Partnership and the Guarantors, including any judgment with respect to the payment of interest and principal on the Debt Securities or in respect of the guarantees of the Guarantors, may not be collectible within the United States.

Governing Law

The Indenture, Debt Securities and the rights, powers, duties or responsibility of the Trustees will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

The Trustee

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is expected to be the U.S. Trustee under the Indenture. The Issuer is expected to appoint Computershare Trust Company of Canada under the Indenture in order to comply with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (the “ABCA”).

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Partnership and/or Finco may sell Securities to or through underwriters or dealers. The distribution of Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices. In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters may receive compensation from the Partnership or Finco or from purchasers of Securities for whom they may act as agents in the form of concessions or commissions.

18

Each prospectus supplement relating to the offering of Securities will set forth the terms of the offering of Securities, including the names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price or prices of the offered Securities, the proceeds to the Partnership and/or Finco from the sale of the offered Securities, the underwriting discounts and commissions and any discounts, commissions and concessions allowed or reallowed or paid by any underwriter to other dealers.

Under agreements which may be entered into by the Partnership, Finco, and/or the other Guarantors, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Partnership, Finco, and/or the other Guarantors against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation in several of the provinces and territories of Canada and in the United States, or to contribution with respect to payments which those underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Those underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Partnership, Finco and/or the other Guarantors in the ordinary course of business.

Securities to be offered pursuant to this prospectus will be a new issue of securities. Certain broker-dealers may make a market in the Securities but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any broker-dealer will make a market in the Securities or as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Securities.

In connection with any underwritten offering of Securities, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at levels above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Partnership is formed under the laws of Bermuda. A substantial portion of the Partnership’s assets are located outside of Canada and the United States and certain of the directors of the General Partner, as well as certain of the experts named in this prospectus, may be residents of jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States. It may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within Ontario or elsewhere in Canada or the United States upon those directors and experts who are not residents of Canada or the United States, as applicable. Investors are advised that it may also not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada or the United States against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada or the United States, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process. Furthermore, it may be difficult to realize upon or enforce in Canada or the United States any judgment of a court of Canada or the United States against the Partnership, the directors of the General Partner or the experts named in this prospectus who reside outside of Canada or the United States since a substantial portion of the Partnership’s assets and the assets of such persons may be located outside of Canada and the United States.

The ability to effect service of process and the enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws may be adversely affected by the fact that Finco is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta and that Can Holdco and BIPC Holdings are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, that some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of Canada, that some or all of the underwriters or experts named in the Registration Statement may be residents of Canada and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of Finco, Can Holdco, BIPC Holdings and such persons may be located outside of the United States.

The Partnership, BILP and the Bermuda Entities (as defined below) have been advised by counsel that there is no treaty in force between Canada and Bermuda or the United States and Bermuda providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. As a result, whether a Canadian or

19

U.S. judgment would be enforceable in Bermuda against the Partnership, the Bermuda Entities (as defined below), the directors of the General Partner (together, the “Bermuda Entities”) or the experts named in this prospectus who reside outside of Canada or the United States depends on whether the Canadian or U.S. court that entered the judgment is recognized by a Bermuda court as having jurisdiction over the Bermuda Entities or the experts named in this prospectus who reside outside of Canada or the United States, as determined by reference to Bermuda conflict of law rules. The courts of Bermuda would likely recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam in respect of a judgment obtained in a Canadian or U.S. court pursuant to which a debt or definitive sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) as long as: (i) the Canadian or U.S. court had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to the judgment and had jurisdiction to give the judgment as a matter of Bermuda law; (ii) the Canadian or U.S. court did not contravene the rules of natural justice of Bermuda; (iii) the Canadian or U.S. judgment was not obtained by fraud; (iv) the enforcement of the Canadian or U.S. judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of Bermuda; (v) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of Bermuda; and (vi) the Canadian or U.S. judgment (being a foreign judgment) does not conflict with a prior Bermuda judgment.

In addition to and irrespective of jurisdictional issues, Bermuda courts will not enforce a provision of Canadian or U.S. federal securities laws that is either penal in nature or contrary to public policy. It is the advice of the Bermuda Entities’ Bermuda counsel that an action brought pursuant to a public or penal law, the purpose of which is the enforcement of a sanction, power or right at the instance of the state in its sovereign capacity, is unlikely to be enforced by a Bermuda court. Specified remedies available under the laws of Canadian or U.S. jurisdictions, including specified remedies under Canadian securities laws or U.S. federal securities laws, would not likely be available under Bermuda law or enforceable in a Bermuda court, as they may be contrary to Bermuda public policy. Further, no claim may be brought in Bermuda against the Bermuda Entities or the experts named in this prospectus in the first instance for a violation of Canadian securities laws or U.S. federal securities laws because these laws have no extraterritorial application under Bermuda law and do not have force of law in Bermuda.

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise specified in any applicable prospectus supplement, certain legal matters in connection with the Securities offered under this prospectus will be passed upon by Torys LLP, Toronto and Calgary, Canada and New York, New York, with respect to U.S. and Canadian legal matters, respectively, and by Appleby (Bermuda) Limited, with respect to Bermuda legal matters.
