WHEREAS, on August 2, 2016, the board of directors of the general partner of the Managing General Partner approved a three-for-two unit split of the limited partnership units of BIP (“BIP LP Units”) by way of a subdivision of the outstanding LP Units (the “LP Unit Split”) to be effective on September 14, 2016 (the “Effective Date”);

 

AND WHEREAS, the board of directors of the general partner of the Managing General Partner also approved a subdivision of the Partnership’s Managing General Partner Units, Redemption-Exchange Units and Special Limited Partner Units (each an “Infrastructure Partnership Interest”) so that the proportion of each type of Infrastructure Partnership Interest outstanding to the number of LP Units outstanding prior to the Effective Date remains as close as possible after giving effect to the LP Unit Split and the rounding up of fractional interests thereunder (such split to be 3.0000326831 for every two Infrastructure Partnership Units, based on the number of LP Units held by registered holders as at July 28, 2016) (the “Infrastructure Partnership Unit Split” and, together with the LP Unit Split, the “Unit Splits”);
