Prospectus Summary
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (NYSE: BIP), a Bermuda exempted limited partnership, is offering 8,000,000 units of its 5.125% Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 13, at a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit, callable at par on or after October 15, 2025. The annual distribution is $1.28125 per unit ($0.3203125 quarterly), paid on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. These are cumulative preferred units, meaning any distributions the general partner elects not to declare accrue and must be paid in full before any distributions can be made on junior securities — though this does not obligate the partnership to hold cash in reserve for this purpose. The Series 13 Preferred Units sit above LP units and other junior partnership interests but below all indebtedness of the partnership and any designated Senior Securities. Critically, they are structurally subordinated to all debt and equity obligations at the subsidiary level — the partnership is a holding entity whose cash flows depend entirely on its subsidiaries. Unlike the Existing Preferred Units (Series 1–12), the Series 13 units carry no guarantee from BIPC Holdings Inc. (the BIPC Guarantor), further deepening their structural subordination. The Ratings Event redemption at $25.50 (102% of par) is triggered if a rating agency changes its equity-credit criteria for the units, reducing equity credit or shortening the period those criteria apply — a risk relevant to investors relying on the units' equity treatment in the issuer's capital structure. At the $25.00 offering price, the Series 13 Preferred Units yield 5.125% annually. Record dates are set as of the close of business on the last business day of the month preceding each payment date. Because Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. is a Bermuda limited partnership, distributions are generally treated as partnership income (passed through on a Schedule K-1 equivalent basis for U.S. holders) rather than qualified dividends, meaning they likely do not qualify for the 15%/20% preferential QDI rate available to individual shareholders or the dividends-received deduction available to corporate holders. Distributions are blocked from junior securities if any cumulative Series 13 distributions remain unpaid; however, distributions are declared at the general partner's discretion and the partnership has no obligation to accumulate cash to cover missed payments.
