(“Chimarrão”), a Brazilian electricity transmission operation, for $22 million (Chimarrão consortium - $72 million), increasing Brookfield Infrastructure’s effective ownership in Chimarrão to 31% (Chimarrão consortium total of 100%). Prior to December 23, 2024, our partnership’s existing interest in Chimarrão was accounted for using the equity method. Consideration Transferred:

(2)Non-controlling interest represents the interest not acquired by Brookfield Infrastructure, measured at fair value at the acquisition dates. (b) Acquisition of an Indian telecom tower operation On September 12, 2024, Brookfield Infrastructure, alongside institutional partners (the “ATC India consortium”), completed the acquisition of ATC Telecom Infrastructure Private Limited (“ATC India”), an Indian telecom tower operation for total consideration of approximately $2.0 billion. The partnership contributed approximately $140 million of equity capital (ATC India consortium - $0.8 billion), with the balance funded through acquisition debt. The portfolio will operate alongside our existing telecom tower operations in India with the partnership holding an effective 16% interest in ATC India. Concurrently, Brookfield Infrastructure entered into a voting agreement with an affiliate of Brookfield, providing Brookfield Infrastructure the right to direct the relevant activities of the entity, thereby providing Brookfield Infrastructure with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Infrastructure consolidated the entity effective September 12, 2024. Acquisition costs of approximately $5 million were recorded as other income (expense) within the Consolidated Statement of Operating Results. Consideration Transferred:

(1)The fair values of certain acquired assets and liabilities for these operations have been determined on a provisional basis given the proximity of the acquisitions to the reporting date, pending finalization of the determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities. Our partnership is in the process of obtaining additional information primarily in order to assess the fair values of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred income taxes and the resulting impact to goodwill as at the date of the acquisition. The partnership acquired property, plant, and equipment of $1.8 billion, including $0.8 billion of remeasured lease assets. The property, plant and equipment was valued using the depreciated replacement cost method with key inputs of replacement cost and remaining economic life. The remeasured lease assets were valued based on the present value of future lease payments over the remaining lease term, with key inputs of lease term, lease payments and discount rate. Additionally, the partnership acquired $0.6 billion of intangible assets, primarily composed of customer relationships. The acquired customer relationship assets were valued with key inputs of revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, and a discount rate determined using a capital asset pricing model and have an estimated useful life of 20 years. The goodwill recorded on acquisition is largely reflective of potential to achieve growth over time, supported by underlying growth and expansion of the services we provide and markets we operate in. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes. (c) Acquisition of a North American Retail Colocation Data Center Business On January 12, 2024, Brookfield Infrastructure, through our North American retail colocation data center operation subsidiary, completed the acquisition of Cyxtera Technologies Inc. (“Cyxtera”) for $0.8 billion. Brookfield Infrastructure consolidated the entity effective January 12, 2024 with the partnership having an effective 29% interest in Cyxtera through our existing interest in our North American retail colocation data center operation. Upon closing of the acquisition, Brookfield Infrastructure recorded a bargain purchase gain of $0.6 billion ($0.2 billion to the partnership) in other income (expense) within the Consolidated Statement of Operating Results, as the net assets acquired of $1.4 billion exceeded the purchase price of $0.8 billion. Acquisition costs of approximately $50 million were recorded as other income (expense) within the Consolidated Statement of Operating Results. Consideration Transferred:

(1)The fair values of certain acquired assets and liabilities for these operations have been determined on a provisional basis given the proximity of the acquisition to the reporting date, pending finalization of the determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities. Our partnership is in the process of obtaining additional information in order to assess the fair values of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, deferred income taxes and the resulting impact to the bargain purchase gain on the date of the acquisition. The partnership acquired property, plant and equipment of $2.4 billion, including $0.8 billion of land and equipment, $1.3 billion of remeasured lease assets and $0.3 billion of favourable lease assets. The equipment was valued using the depreciated replacement cost method with key inputs of replacement cost and remaining economic life. The remeasured lease assets were valued based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term, with key inputs of lease term, lease payments and discount rate. The favourable lease assets were valued based on the difference between the contractual lease terms and market terms, key inputs include market rent rates, rental growth rate and discount rate. Additionally, the partnership acquired $0.4 billion of intangible assets, primarily composed of customer relationships. The acquired customer relationship assets were valued with key inputs of revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, and a discount rate determined using a capital asset pricing model. Supplemental Information Had the acquisitions of Chimarrão, ATC India, and Cyxtera had been effective January 1, 2024, the revenue and net income of Brookfield Infrastructure would have increased by approximately $850 million and $110 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. In determining the pro-forma revenue and net income attributable to our partnership, management has: •Calculated depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets acquired on the basis of the fair values at the time of the business combination rather than the carrying amounts recognized in the pre-acquisition financial statements and; •Based borrowing costs on the funding levels, credit ratings and debt and equity position of Brookfield Infrastructure after the business combination. Acquisitions Completed in 2023 (a) Acquisition of a Global Intermodal Logistics Operation On September 28, 2023, Brookfield Infrastructure, through its subsidiary Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation and alongside institutional partners (the “Triton consortium”) completed the acquisition of Triton International Limited (“Triton”), the world’s largest owner and lessor of intermodal shipping containers, for consideration of $1.2 billion (Triton consortium - $4.5 billion). The partnership has an effective 28% interest in Triton. Concurrently, BIPC entered into a voting agreement with an affiliate of Brookfield, providing BIPC the right to direct the relevant activities of the entity, thereby providing BIPC with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Infrastructure consolidated the entity effective September 28, 2023. Acquisition costs of approximately $49 million were recorded as other income (expense) within the Consolidated Statement of Operating Results. Consideration Transferred:
