Brookfield Infrastructure Simplification to Close Nov 19; Q4 Dividend Delayed

The simplification is expected to close on November 19, 2026, with existing securityholders receiving class A subordinate voting shares of BIP Inc. on a one-for-one basis. Consequently, no distribution or dividend will be declared for the fourth quarter of 2026.
