Downside If BIPC Holders Reject
BIPC exchangeable shares would remain outstanding, exchangeable one-for-one for BIP Inc. Class A shares, as a smaller security with lower trading liquidity and more limited index participation, and later exchanges may not receive the same tax-deferred treatment.
Analysis · BIPC · Energy & Transportation
The partnership side of the merger is now cleared: BIP unitholders overwhelmingly approved the plan of arrangement and the LPA amendment that convert BIP into a Canadian corporation. What remains is the BIPC shareholder vote, rescheduled to October 29, 2026, followed by a final court order expected on or about November 3, 2026. Approval would deliver Class A shares of BIP Inc. and a single, more liquid listed security; rejection would leave exchangeable shares outstanding as a smaller, less liquid security exchangeable one-for-one for BIP Inc. Class A shares, and any later exchange may not qualify for the same tax-deferred treatment. The filing also notes BIP obtained exemptive relief so future Class A share issuances under prospectus will not require further Class A holder approval.
