Brookfield Corporation is a leading global infrastructure company focused on assets with contracted and regulated revenues. A major corporate simplification like this affects the fundamental structure through which the company operates and reports its assets. The move is designed to enhance governance and provide securityholders with benefits such as improved consolidated trading liquidity and simplified investor analysis.

For the wider market, the successful completion of the Simplification could increase demand from current indices and potentially allow for additional index inclusion, benefiting the overall visibility and accessibility of the Brookfield assets.
