SCHEDULE 13D

 

 

Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment No. 7”) to Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect the closing on September 15, 2017 of the previously announced equity offering of the Partnership, which included a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”) to Brookfield of 7,423,000 RPUs of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“Holding LP”), which are exchangeable for limited partnership units of the Partnership (the “Units”) under certain circumstances.  The additional RPUs were issued to BIP REU Holdings (2016) L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield.

 

Information reported in the original Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 7.

 

Item 2.         Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Schedules I, II and III hereto set forth a list of all the directors and executive officers (the “Scheduled Persons”), and their respective principal occupations, addresses, and citizenships, of each of Brookfield, PVI Management Inc., as general partner of Partners Value Investments LP (“Value Investments”), and Partners Limited (“Partners”), respectively.

 

Item 3.         Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

In connection with the Private Placement, Brookfield and the Partnership entered into a subscription agreement, dated as of September 12, 2017 (the “Subscription Agreement”), which provided for the purchase by Brookfield of 7,423,000 RPUs, deliverable at closing on or about September 15, 2017.

 

Item 4.         Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

The Subscription Agreement provided for the purchase by Brookfield of 7,423,000 RPUs for the purpose of increasing its investment in the Partnership.

 

Item 5.         Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Items 5(a)—(b) of Schedule 13D are hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)-(b)                  As of the date hereof, Value Investments may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 3,327,972 Units, and such Units constitute approximately 0.8% of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of September 15, 2017. Assuming that all of the redeemable partnership units of Holding LP were exchanged for Units pursuant to the redemption-exchange mechanism, as of the date hereof, Brookfield may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 116,074,637 Units and Partners may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 119,440,712 Units, and such Units would constitute approximately 29.6% and 30.4%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of September 15, 2017. The Units deemed to be beneficially owned by Partners include 38,102 Units owned by Partners and the Units deemed to be beneficially owned by each of Brookfield and Value Investments. Brookfield may hold the Units directly or in one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries. Partners may be deemed to have shared power (with each of Brookfield and Value Investments) to vote or direct the vote of the Units beneficially owned by it or to dispose of such Units other than 38,102 Units with respect to which it has sole voting and investment power.

Exhibit 7

 

BROOKFIELD ASSET MANAGEMENT INC.
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

To:

Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“BILP”)

Dated:

September 12, 2017

 

RECITALS:

 

I.             Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (“BIP”), a Bermuda exempted limited partnership, has agreed to issue and sell (the “BIP Offering”) 16,628,000 limited partnership units (“LP Units”) of BIP (the “Initial Units”) to a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”) at a price per LP Unit of $42.10 (the “Public Price”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of a purchase agreement dated September 12, 2017 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Underwriters and BIP.

 

II.            Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, BIP has granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 2,494,200 additional LP Units of BIP at a price per LP Unit equal to the Public Price, exercisable at any time up to the 30th day after the Closing Date (as defined below) to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

 

III.          Upon completion of the BIP Offering, BIP is required pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of BILP to invest the proceeds in managing general partner units of BILP.

 

IV.          Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“BAM”) owns an approximate 29.5% interest in BIP on a fully exchanged basis. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, BAM wishes to subscribe for 7,423,000 redeemable partnership units (“RPUs”) of BILP.

 

NOW THEREFORE, BAM and BILP agree as follows:

 

A.                                    Subscription

 

1.             Concurrently with the issue of LP Units to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Closing Date”), BAM shall subscribe for and purchase from BILP and BILP shall issue and sell to BAM, 7,423,000 RPUs at a price per RPU equal to $40.416, being the dollar equivalent of the Public Price, less underwriting commissions payable by BIP per LP Unit (the “Net BAM Price”), for an aggregate price (the “Subscription Amount”) equal to $300,007,968 and on the other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

 

2.             The closing of the purchase and sale of RPUs will be held at the offices of Torys LLP, in Toronto, Ontario at 8:00 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Closing Time”). At the Closing Time, BILP shall deliver to BAM a certificate representing the RPUs registered in the name of BAM, against payment to BILP by wire transfer of the Subscription Amount.

 

B.                                    BAM’s Acknowledgements and Agreements

 

3.             BAM acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(a)                                 subject to the condition set forth in paragraph D.5 of this Agreement, this

 



 

subscription is and shall be irrevocable as against BAM; and

 

(b)                                 BAM was not offered the RPUs in the United States, BAM is a non-U.S. person, the sale and purchase of the RPUs, including the execution of this Agreement was, or is being, or will be, as the case may be, executed, outside of the United States, and the sale and purchase of the RPUs is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For purposes of this paragraph (b), “United States” and “non-U.S. person” have the meanings ascribed thereto in Regulation S under such act.

 

C.                                    BAM’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants

 

4.             BAM represents, warrants and covenants to BILP (which representations, warranties and covenants shall survive the Closing Time) and acknowledges that BILP is relying thereon, that:

 

(a)                                 BAM is a corporation duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario;

 

(b)                                 BAM has duly executed, authorized and delivered this Agreement, and upon acceptance by BILP, this Agreement will constitute a valid and binding agreement of BAM, enforceable against BAM in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies, and to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable securities laws; and
