SCHEDULE 13D
 
CUSIP No. G16252101

 

Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 11 (this “Amendment No. 11”) to Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect, among other things, (i) the removal of Partners Limited (“Partners”) and Partners Value Investments L.P. (“Value Investments”) as Reporting Persons (as defined in the original Schedule 13D), (ii) the addition of BAM Partners Trust, a trust established under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the “BAM Partnership”), as a Reporting Person and (iii) the closing on November 17, 2021 of the previously announced equity offering of limited partnership units of the Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., which included a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”) to Brookfield Investments Corporation (“BIC”), a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”), of 7,104,300 redemption-exchange units (“RPUs”) of Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“Holding LP”), which are exchangeable for limited partnership units of the Partnership (the “Units”) under certain circumstances.

 

Information and defined terms reported in the original Schedule 13D, as amended through Amendment No. 10 thereto (the “Schedule 13D”), remain in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information or defined terms contained in this Amendment No. 11.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

The BAM Partnership shall be deemed a “Reporting Person” and each of Partners and Value Investments shall not be deemed to be a “Reporting Person” for purposes of this Schedule 13D, as amended hereby. The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Schedule 13D jointly (the “Joint Filing Agreement”) is attached hereto as Exhibit 11.

 

Item 2(a) of the original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to remove reference to Partners and Value Investments, including subsections (ii) and (iii), and supplemented to add new section (ii) as follows:

 

(ii) BAM Partners Trust (the “BAM Partnership”), a trust formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The trustee of the BAM Partnership is BAM Class B Partners Inc., an Ontario corporation (“BAM Partners”). In accordance with the previous announcement in Brookfield’s management information circular dated April 27, 2020, Partners closed the transfer of 85,120 class B limited voting shares of Brookfield (the “BAM Class B Shares”) on April 6, 2021, representing 100% of such shares, to the BAM Partnership. The BAM Class B Shares entitle the holders thereof to appoint one half of the board of directors of Brookfield.

 

Item 2(b)-(c), (f) of the original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to remove references to Partners and Value Investments, including the schedules of directors and officers thereof, and supplemented as follows:

 

BAM Partners is the trustee of the BAM Partnership, and the principal business address of BAM Partners and the BAM Partnership is Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 300, P.O. Box 762, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2T3, Canada.

 

Schedule I to this Amendment No. 11 sets forth a list of updated names of directors and executive officers of Brookfield (to be included as “Scheduled Persons” for purposes of this Schedule 13D), and their respective principal occupations, addresses, and citizenships.

 

Schedule II to this Amendment No. 11 sets forth a list of all of the directors and officers (to be included as “Scheduled Persons” for purposes of this Schedule 13D) of BAM Partners, as trustee of the BAM Partnership, and their respective principal occupations, addresses, and citizenships.

 

Item 2(d)-(e) of the original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to remove reference to Partners and Value Investments, and supplemented as follows:

 

 

 

 

During the last five years, none of Reporting Persons and, to their respective knowledge, none of the Scheduled Persons, has been: (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which, he, she or it was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

In connection with the Private Placement, BIC and Holding LP entered into a subscription agreement, dated as of November 17, 2021 (the “Subscription Agreement”), which provided for the purchase by BIC of 7,104,300 RPUs at $56.304 per unit using working capital and deliverable at closing on or about November 17, 2021.

 

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscription Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 13.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 11 is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Items 5(a)-(b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)-(b) The information provided in the cover pages of this Amendment No. 11 is hereby incorporated by reference. Assuming that all of the RPUs of Holding LP were exchanged for Units pursuant to the redemption-exchange mechanism and all exchangeable shares of BIPC held by the Reporting Persons were exchanged for Units, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 137,982,130 Units, and such Units would constitute approximately 31.2% of the issued and outstanding Units based on the number of Units outstanding as of November 17, 2021. Brookfield holds hold the Units, RPUs and exchangeable shares, as applicable, directly or in one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 11 is hereby incorporated by reference.
