PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL
As at June 30, 2022, our partnership’s capital structure was comprised of three classes of partnership units: limited partnership units, preferred units and general partnership units. Limited partnership units entitle the holder to their proportionate share of distributions. Preferred units entitle the holder to cumulative preferential cash distributions in accordance with their terms. General partnership units entitle the holder to the right to govern the financial and operating policies of our partnership. The Holding LP’s capital structure is composed of four classes of partnership units: special general partner units, Holding LP Class A preferred units, managing general partner units and redeemable partnership units held by Brookfield.
On June 10, 2022, Brookfield Infrastructure completed a three-for-two stock split of BIP units, BIPC exchangeable shares, Exchange LP Units, and BIPC exchangeable LP units, by way of a subdivision whereby unitholders/shareholders received an additional one-half of a unit/share for each unit/share held. Brookfield Infrastructure’s preferred units were not affected by the stock split. All historical unit and share counts, as well as per unit/share disclosures have been adjusted to effect for the change in units due to the stock split.

In November 2021, Brookfield Infrastructure issued 14.3 million units at $39.10 per unit in public offerings in the U.S. and Canada. In total, $556 million of gross proceeds were raised through the issuance and $23 million in equity issuance costs were incurred. Concurrently, Brookfield Infrastructure issued approximately 10.7 million Redeemable Partnership Units at the public offering price, net of commissions, to Brookfield for additional proceeds of $400 million.
As a result of the issuances during the year, inclusive of equity raised as part of the IPL acquisition, equity was reallocated between limited partners, the general partner, non-controlling interests - Redeemable Partnership Units held by Brookfield, non-controlling interests - Exchange LP units, non-controlling interests - BIPC exchangeable LP units, and non-controlling interests - BIPC exchangeable shares to reflect the difference between the ratio in which the unit/shareholders participated in the issuance and their original economic interest in the partnership. The resulting impacts were recognized as ownership changes within the Consolidated Statements of Partnership Capital. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were also ratably allocated.
In June 2010, we implemented a distribution reinvestment plan (the “Plan”) that allows eligible holders of our partnership to purchase additional units by reinvesting their cash distributions. Under the Plan, units are acquired at a price per unit calculated by reference to the volume weighted average of the trading price for our units on the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant distribution date. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2022, our partnership issued 0.2 million units for proceeds of $8 million (2021: 0.2 million units for proceeds of $6 million).
