RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In the normal course of operations, Brookfield Infrastructure entered into the transactions below with related parties. The immediate parent of Brookfield Infrastructure is our partnership. The ultimate parent of Brookfield Infrastructure is Brookfield. Other related parties of Brookfield Infrastructure represent its subsidiary and operating entities. Throughout the year, the General Partner, in its capacity as our partnership’s general partner, incurs director fees, a portion of which are charged at cost to our partnership in accordance with our limited partnership agreement. Director fees of $2 million were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023: $2 million, 2022: $1 million). Since inception, Brookfield Infrastructure has had a management agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”) with certain service providers (the “Service Providers”), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, on a quarterly basis, Brookfield Infrastructure pays a base management fee, referred to as the Base Management Fee, to the Service Providers equal to 0.3125% per quarter (1.25% annually) of the market value of our partnership. The Base Management Fee was $393 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023: $401 million, 2022: $421 million). As of December 31, 2024, $99 million was outstanding as payable to the Service Providers (December 31, 2023: $97 million). For the purposes of calculating the Base Management Fee, the market value of our partnership is equal to the aggregate value of all the outstanding units of our partnership (assuming full conversion of Brookfield’s Redeemable Partnership Units in the Holding LP into units of our partnership), preferred units and securities of the other Service Recipients (as defined in Brookfield Infrastructure’s Master Services Agreement) that are not held by Brookfield Infrastructure, plus all outstanding third party debt with recourse to a Service Recipient, less all cash held by such entities. As of December 31, 2024, Brookfield Infrastructure had a loan payable of $31 million to subsidiaries of Brookfield (December 31, 2023: $35 million).

Deposits bear interest at market rates. Brookfield Infrastructure has entered into a $1 billion revolving credit facility with Brookfield to provide additional liquidity for general corporate purposes and capital expenditures, if required. As of December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding (December 31, 2023: $nil). As at December 31, 2024, Brookfield Infrastructure had approximately $130 million of borrowings outstanding to subsidiaries and associates of Brookfield (December 31, 2023: $110 million) and approximately $140 million of net payables to subsidiaries of Brookfield (December 31, 2023: $339 million). Brookfield Infrastructure’s subsidiaries provide heating, cooling, connection, port marine and natural gas services on market terms in the normal course of operations to subsidiaries and associates of Brookfield.
