Prospectus Summary
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (NYSE: BIP), a Bermuda exempted limited partnership, is offering 8,000,000 units of its 5.00% Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 14, at a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit, generating $1.25 per unit annually ($0.3125 per quarter). The units are callable at par on or after February 16, 2026, and perpetual with no fixed maturity. These are direct LP units (not depositary shares). Distributions are cumulative — meaning if the general partner does not declare a quarterly distribution, unpaid amounts accrue and must be made current before any distributions can be paid on junior securities, though holders have no legal right to compel payment. The Series 14 Preferred Units sit above LP Units and other junior partnership interests but rank junior to all of the Partnership's existing and future indebtedness (approximately $23.5 billion consolidated as of September 2020) and any contractually senior partnership interests. Critically, these units are structurally subordinated to all debt and equity obligations of the Partnership's subsidiaries, which hold virtually all operating assets — meaning subsidiary creditors are paid before any cash reaches the Partnership level. Unlike the Existing Canadian Preferred Units, the Series 14 Preferred Units carry no subsidiary guarantee from BIPC Holdings Inc. There is no regulatory capital call provision, as BIP is a partnership, not a bank. A Ratings Event call (at $25.50) applies prior to February 16, 2026 if a rating agency reduces the equity credit assigned to these units. At the $25.00 offering price, the effective yield is 5.00% per annum. Distributions are paid quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, to holders of record as of the last business day of the prior calendar month. Because BIP is a publicly traded partnership (PTP), holders receive Schedule K-1s and distributions are generally not eligible for the preferential 15%/20% qualified dividend income (QDI) rate applicable to C-corporation preferred dividends, nor for the corporate dividends-received deduction (DRD). The dividend stopper prevents distributions on LP Units or other junior interests if any accrued Series 14 distributions remain unpaid, but does not guarantee payment — the general partner retains full discretion over declarations.
