PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 11, 2022
BIP Bermuda Holdings I Limited
$300,000,000
5.125% Perpetual Subordinated Notes
Guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and the other guarantors identified herein
BIP Bermuda Holdings I Limited (the “Issuer”) is offering $300,000,000 principal amount of unsecured 5.125% perpetual subordinated notes (the “Notes”). The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, as to payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest and certain other amounts by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), and will also be guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, as to payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest and certain other amounts, by each of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“BILP”), Brookfield Infrastructure Holdings (Canada) Inc. (“Can Holdco”), Brookfield Infrastructure Finance ULC (“Alberta Finco”), Brookfield Infrastructure US Holdings I Corporation (“US Holdco”) and BIPC Holdings Inc. (“BIPC Holdings”, and together with the Partnership, BILP, Can Holdco, Alberta Finco and US Holdco, collectively, the “Guarantors,” and all guarantees together, the “Guarantees”). The Notes and the Guarantees are herein referred to as the “Securities”.
As described under “Use of Proceeds” herein, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for the redemption by the Partnership of its Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 7, which are redeemable at the option of the Partnership on March 31, 2022, and any remainder for working capital purposes.
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes quarterly on every March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during which the Notes are outstanding (each such quarterly date, an “Interest Payment Date”). The first Interest Payment Date will be March 31, 2022. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes at a fixed rate of 5.125% per year in equal quarterly installments in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.
The Issuer may, at its discretion, elect to defer any payment of interest (in whole or in part) which is otherwise scheduled to be paid on an Interest Payment Date; provided that any such deferred interest shall become due and payable on the date the Issuer declares any distributions on any of the Issuer’s common shares or preferred shares. If the Issuer elects not to make all or part of any payment of interest on an Interest Payment Date, then neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will have any obligation to pay such interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Deferred interest will accrue, compounding on each subsequent Interest Payment Date, until paid. Such deferral will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined herein) or any other breach under the indenture in respect of the Securities (the “Indenture”) or under the Securities. See “Description of the Notes”. Further, holders of the Notes may only have claim to the principal amount of their Notes upon certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer or the Partnership. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Securities — The Notes will have limited events of default”.
The Notes are perpetual securities in respect of which there is no fixed maturity date or fixed redemption date. The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.
On or after January 21, 2027, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.
At any time, after the occurrence of a Tax Event (as hereinafter defined), the Issuer may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.
At any time within 180 days following the occurrence of a Rating Event (as hereinafter defined), the Issuer may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.
