At the meeting, BIPIC will be seeking approval

pass a special resolution (the “Special Resolution”) to permit the
redemption of the Preferred Shares by BIPIC at any time on not less

for the fourth quarter of 2024 in the amount of C$0.4671875 per
Preferred Share payable immediately prior to the Redemption (the
“Q4 2024 Dividend”) and to elect that the Q4 2024 Dividend be
deemed a capital gains dividend. The Q4 2024 Dividend, if declared,
will be paid to Preferred Shareholders of record as of November 29,
2024 in addition to the Enhanced Redemption Price in the event the
Special Resolution is approved at the Meeting and the Preferred
Shares are redeemed by BIPIC.
Preferred Shareholders of record as of market
close on October 25, 2024 will be entitled to receive notice of and
vote at the Meeting. The Special Resolution must be passed by the
affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting.
