Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE: BIP)(TSX: BIP.UN) today announced that it has agreed to issue 5,677,100 L.P. units, on a bought deal basis, to a syndicate of underwriters at a price of $37.75 per L.P. unit (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds of $214,310,525 (the "Offering"). In addition, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: BAM)(TSX: BAM.A)(EURONEXT: BAMA) and its related entities (other than Brookfield Infrastructure) (collectively, "Brookfield") will purchase, directly or indirectly, 2,262,900 redeemable partnership units of Brookfield Infrastructure's holding limited partnership ("RPUs") at the Offering Price (net of underwriting commissions) concurrent with the Offering in order to maintain its approximate 30% interest in Brookfield Infrastructure on a fully exchanged basis. The aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering and the placement of RPUs to Brookfield will be $296,318,021.

Brookfield Infrastructure has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable in whole or in part for a period of 30 days following closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 851,565 L.P. units at the Offering Price. Brookfield will also have the option to subscribe for additional RPUs in order to maintain its approximate 30% interest on a fully exchanged basis. If both of these options are exercised in full, the gross offering size would increase to $340,765,724.

The net proceeds of the Offering and the issuance of RPUs to Brookfield will be used for investment opportunities, working capital and other general corporate purposes. Prior to being deployed for such purposes, the net proceeds will initially be used to repay amounts outstanding under Brookfield Infrastructure's revolving credit facilities. The Offering and issuance of RPUs to Brookfield are expected to close on or about May 13, 2013.
