HAMILTON, BERMUDA--(Marketwire - June 11, 2009) - Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (the "Partnership", and along with its related entities, "Brookfield Infrastructure") (

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 ].
