HAMILTON, BERMUDA--(Marketwire - June 11, 2009) - Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (the "Partnership", and along with its related entities, "Brookfield Infrastructure") (NYSE: [ BIP ]) today announced that it has received approval from BNDES to complete the previously announced sale of Brookfield Infrastructure's minority interests in a group of five related Brazilian transmission investments ("TBE"). BNDES is the Brazilian development bank, which is the lender to TBE. Closing of the sale is expected to occur on or about June 30, 2009.

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. was established by Brookfield Asset Management as its primary vehicle to own and operate certain infrastructure assets on a global basis. Brookfield Infrastructure operates high quality, long-life assets that generate stable cash flows, require relatively minimal maintenance capital expenditures and, by virtue of barriers to entry and other characteristics, tend to appreciate in value over time. Its current business consists of the ownership and operation of premier electricity transmission systems, timberlands and social infrastructure in North and South America, the United Kingdom and Australia, and it seeks acquisition opportunities in other infrastructure sectors with similar attributes. The Partnership's units trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BIP. For more information, please visit the Partnership's website at [ www.brookfieldinfrastructure.com ].
