## About Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP)

GIP is an independent infrastructure fund manager that combines deep industry expertise with industrial best practice operational management. Our current equity fund, Global Infrastructure Partners II, makes equity investments in high quality infrastructure assets in the energy, transport and water/waste sectors where we possess deep experience and strong relationships.

GIP manages approximately $35 billion for its investors. Additionally, the companies in GIP's portfolio have combined annual revenues greater than $5 billion and employ approximately 21,000 people.

In addition to its equity investing focus, GIP has a credit arm, the Credit Solutions or "CAPS" Fund. GIP CAPS was formed to make non-equity investments, with the ability to transact across multiple entry points in the capital stack. GIP CAPS targets energy, transport, water and waste and other industries or projects with infrastructure-like characteristics. GIP CAPS provides custom tailored financing solutions across a breadth of capital needs, including greenfield and brownfield projects, acquisition finance, liquidity and growth, restructuring and secondary purchases.

GIP maintains a clear investment approach that is based on four core components:

A Well Resourced Team

GIP has a deep team of professionals that combines industry knowledge with best-in-class financial and operational capability. This group is further complemented by a diverse group of experienced Senior Advisors.

A Focused Strategy

GIP's business strategy focuses its proprietary, specialist resources within its three industry sectors. Our objective is to originate investments with the potential to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns for our investors. The essential elements of this approach are as follows:

Investment profile: GIP focuses on larger scale investments in assets that provide essential services, have high barriers to entry and offer significant governance positions. We primarily target opportunities in OECD countries, while maintaining a global perspective and the flexibility to pursue high quality assets with the potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns in selected non-OECD countries. Proprietary origination: GIP's in-depth knowledge of, and extensive relationships in, our three target industry sectors are critical to our ability to originate proprietary transactions, conduct effective and informed due diligence, structure investments and identify potential exits. This knowledge provides insights into the trends and developments that create investment opportunities and motivate potential sellers and joint venture partners. In addition, our relationships with significant industry participants, together with our track record of adding value to our portfolio companies and our ability to deploy significant amounts of capital, have made GIP a preferred buyer and investment partner. Prudent leverage: GIP takes a conservative approach to leverage and ensures that our investments have appropriate risk profiles. This approach also reflects our fundamental view that investment discipline and operational value creation, rather than financial engineering, are the keys to successful infrastructure investing. A Dedicated Operational Capability

GIP creates value for its investors by improving the performance and service quality of its portfolio company assets. Our dedicated team of seasoned operational professionals seeks to apply advanced management processes and industrial best practice expertise to deliver these gains.

A Strict Investment Discipline

GIP’s strategy for realizing superior returns is based on strict pricing discipline and careful selection of assets from within the infrastructure sectors we understand well. We employ a rigorous evaluation process that incorporates proven selection criteria, integrated due diligence teams and a strong focus on risk management and mitigation.
