BROOKFIELD BUSINESS PARTNERS L.P.

Limited Partnership Units

This prospectus relates to up to 74 million non-voting limited partnership units (the “units”) of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (the “partnership”) that may be issued by the partnership or delivered by Brookfield Business Corporation (“BBUC”) to satisfy any exchange, redemption or acquisition of class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (the “exchangeable shares”) of BBUC (including, if applicable, in connection with liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC).

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield” or the “selling securityholder”) has also agreed that, in the event that neither the partnership nor BBUC has satisfied an exchange request by a holder of exchangeable shares, then Brookfield, as selling securityholder, will satisfy until the fifth anniversary of the distribution date (as defined below) such exchange requests by paying such cash amount or delivering such units (up to 74 million units) pursuant to this prospectus.

Up to 39 million exchangeable shares will be distributed to holders of units pursuant to a special distribution (the “Special Distribution”) and additionally up to 35 million exchangeable shares will be distributed to Brookfield and its subsidiaries (other than the partnership, BBUC and their respective subsidiaries) each on the distribution date for the Special Distribution (the “distribution date”). Each exchangeable share will be exchangeable at the option of the holder thereof for one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent, as more fully described in this prospectus.

None of the partnership, BBUC or Brookfield will receive any cash proceeds from the issuance or delivery of any units upon exchange, redemption or acquisition, as applicable, of exchangeable shares pursuant to this prospectus.

The units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the trading symbol “BBU” and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “BBU.UN.” The last reported sale price of a unit on October 7, 2021 was $45.99 on the NYSE and C$57.60 on the TSX.

Investing in the units involves risks. Please see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3 of this prospectus, and in similarly-captioned sections in the documents incorporated by reference herein, for a discussion of risk factors you should consider before investing in the units.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) with respect to units to be issued, from time to time, in connection with the exchange, redemption or acquisition, if any and as applicable, of exchangeable shares (including in connection with liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC). The partnership or BBUC may issue or deliver, as the case may be, to holders of exchangeable shares, at any time and from time to time, units in connection with the exchange, redemption or acquisition, if any and as applicable, of exchangeable shares (including in connection with liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC). Additionally, the selling securityholder may deliver to holders of exchangeable shares, at any time and from time to time, units in exchange for exchangeable shares under circumstances that are more fully described in this prospectus. As allowed by the SEC rules, this prospectus does not contain all the information included in the registration statement. For further information, you are referred to the registration statement, including its exhibits, as well as any prospectus supplement and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein.

You should read this prospectus together with any applicable prospectus supplement thereto, and in any free writing prospectus that we may provide to you, and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein and any additional information you may need to make your investment decision. You should also read and carefully consider the information in the documents we have referred you to in “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference” below. Information incorporated by reference after the date of this prospectus is considered a part of this prospectus and may add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. The information in this prospectus or any document incorporated by reference herein by reference is accurate only as of the date contained on the cover of such documents. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor any delivery of units made under this prospectus will, under any circumstances, imply that the information in this prospectus is correct as of any date after this prospectus. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may have changed since that date. Any information in such subsequent filings that is inconsistent with this prospectus will supersede the information in this prospectus.

You should rely only on the information incorporated by reference or provided in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, and in any free writing prospectus that we may provide to you. We and the selling securityholder have not authorized anyone else to provide you with other information. We and the selling securityholder are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

Unless the context requires otherwise, when used in this prospectus, the term “partnership” refers to Brookfield Business Partners L.P., except as the context otherwise requires; the terms “Brookfield Business Partners,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to, collectively, (i) the partnership, (ii) Brookfield Business L.P. (“Holding LP”), (iii) the primary holding subsidiaries of Holding LP, from time to time, through which the partnership holds its interest in the operating businesses (the “Holding Entities”) and (iv) the businesses in which the Holding Entities hold interests and that directly or indirectly hold the partnership’s operations and assets, other than entities in which the Holding Entities hold interests for investment purposes only of less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities of that entity, and any other direct or indirect subsidiary of a Holding Entity (but excluding BBUC); and the term “general partner” refers to Brookfield Business Partners Limited, the partnership’s general partner. References to “our group” mean, collectively, Brookfield Business Partners and BBUC. Unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, the disclosure in this prospectus assumes that the Special Distribution has been completed and BBUC has acquired its operating subsidiaries from the partnership, although BBUC will not acquire such subsidiaries until prior to the Special Distribution.

The financial information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus is presented in United States dollars and unless otherwise indicated has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in units. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section and the documents incorporated by reference herein.

Brookfield Business Partners L.P.

We are a Bermuda exempted limited partnership that was established on January 18, 2016 under the provisions of the Bermuda Limited Partnership Act 1883, as amended, and the Bermuda Exempted Partnerships Act 1992, as amended. Our head and registered office is 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda, and the telephone number is +1-441-295-1443.

The partnership was established by Brookfield to be its flagship public partnership for its business services and industrial operations. Our operations are primarily located in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Brazil. The partnership is focused on owning and operating high quality businesses that are low cost producers and/or benefit from high barriers to entry. The partnership seeks to build value though enhancing the cash flows of its business, pursuing an operations-oriented acquisition strategy and opportunistically recycling capital generated from operations and dispositions into our existing operations, new acquisitions and investments. The partnership’s goal is to generate returns to unitholders primarily through capital appreciation with a modest distribution yield. The partnership’s sole direct investment is a managing general partnership interest in Brookfield Business L.P. (“Holding LP”), which holds the partnership’s business services and industrial operations assets through Holding LP’s subsidiaries and operating entities.

The units are listed on the NYSE and the TSX. For additional information, see our Annual Report on Form 20-F, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Brookfield Business Corporation

BBUC is a corporation incorporated under, and governed by, the laws of British Columbia, Canada. BBUC’s initial operations will consist of services and industrial operations primarily located in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Brazil, which BBUC will acquire prior to the Special Distribution from certain of the partnership’s subsidiaries that hold these assets.

On or about the distribution date, up to 39 million exchangeable shares will be distributed to holders of units pursuant to the Special Distribution and additionally up to 35 million exchangeable shares will be distributed to Brookfield and its subsidiaries (other than the partnership, BBUC and their respective subsidiaries). Each exchangeable share will be structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events). Each exchangeable share will receive identical dividends to the distributions paid on each unit, and will be exchangeable at the option of the holder for one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent, as more fully described in this prospectus.

Brookfield will enter into a rights agreement (the “rights agreement”) pursuant to which Brookfield will agree that, until the fifth anniversary of the distribution date, in the event that, on the applicable specified exchange date with respect to any subject exchangeable shares, (i) BBUC has not satisfied its obligation under its articles and notice of articles (the “BBUC articles”) of delivering the unit amount or its cash equivalent amount and (ii) we have not, upon our election in our sole and absolute discretion, acquired such subject exchangeable shares from the holder thereof and delivered the unit amount or its cash equivalent, Brookfield will satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations pursuant to the BBUC articles to exchange such subject exchangeable shares for the unit amount or its cash equivalent. The holders of exchangeable shares have a right to receive the unit amount or its cash equivalent in such circumstances. The partnership will pay all expenses of effecting the exchanges pursuant to this prospectus. See “Exchange Rights of Exchangeable Shares for Units” for more information.

Units

As of September 30, 2021, there were 77,845,065 units and 69,705,497 redeemable/exchangeable partnership units of Holding LP (each, a “redemption/exchange unit”) outstanding.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The redemption/exchange units are subject to a redemption-exchange mechanism pursuant to which units may be issued in exchange for redemption/exchange units on a one for one basis. All of the redemption/exchange units are currently owned by Brookfield.

Tax Consequences of Exchanges and Ownership of units

Please see “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a summary of material Canadian and U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to holders of exchangeable shares if such holders exchange their exchangeable shares for units. Because the specific tax consequences to such holders will depend upon their specific circumstances, holders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding any Canadian and/or U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences specific to such holders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

An investment in units involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 20-F and the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC, pursuant to Sections 13(a), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are incorporated in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described therein and herein are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. In addition, please consider the following risks before making an investment decision: See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”

The exchange of exchangeable shares for units may result in the U.S. federal income taxation of any gain realized by a U.S. holder.

Depending on the facts and circumstances, a U.S. holder’s exchange of exchangeable shares for units may result in the U.S. federal income taxation of any gain realized by the U.S. holder. In general, a U.S. holder exchanging exchangeable shares for units pursuant to the exercise of the exchange right will recognize capital gain or loss (i) if the exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of units by Brookfield pursuant to the rights agreement or (ii) if the exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of units by BBUC and the exchange is, within the meaning of Section 302(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in “complete redemption” of the U.S. holder’s equity interest in BBUC, a “substantially disproportionate” redemption of stock, or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend,” applying certain constructive ownership rules that take into account not only the exchangeable shares and other equity interests in BBUC actually owned but also other equity interests in BBUC treated as constructively owned by the U.S. holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If an exchange request satisfied by the delivery of units by BBUC is not treated as a sale or exchange under the foregoing rules, then it will be treated as a distribution equal to the amount of cash and the fair market value of the units received, taxable under the rules generally applicable to distributions on stock of a corporation.

In general, if the partnership satisfies an exchange request by delivering units to a U.S. holder pursuant to the partnership’s exercise of the partnership call right, then the U.S. holder’s exchange of exchangeable shares for units will qualify as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code, unless, at the time of such exchange, the partnership (i) is a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation or (ii) would be an “investment company” if it were incorporated for purposes of Section 721(b) of the Code. In the case described in (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, a U.S. holder may recognize gain upon the exchange. The general partner of the partnership believes that the partnership will be treated as a partnership and not as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, based on the holders’ rights in the event of the liquidation or dissolution of BBUC (or the partnership) and the terms of the exchangeable shares, which are intended to provide an economic return equivalent to the economic return on units (including identical distributions), and taking into account the expected relative values of the partnership’s assets and its ratable share of the assets of its subsidiaries for the foreseeable future, the general partner of the partnership currently expects that a U.S. holder’s exchange of exchangeable shares for units pursuant to the exercise of the partnership call right will not be treated as a transfer to an investment company for purposes of Section 721(b) of the Code. Accordingly, the general partner of the partnership currently expects a U.S. holder’s exchange of exchangeable shares for units pursuant to the partnership’s exercise of the partnership call right to qualify as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code. However, no definitive determination can be made as to whether any such future exchange will qualify as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code, as this will depend on the facts and circumstances at the time of the exchange. Many of these facts and circumstances are not within the control of the partnership, and no assurance can be provided as to the position, if any, taken by the general partner of the partnership with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any such exchange. Nor can any assurance be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any future position taken by the partnership. If Section 721(a) of the Code does not apply, then a U.S. holder who exchanges exchangeable shares for units pursuant to the partnership’s exercise of the partnership call right will be treated as if the holder had sold in a taxable transaction the holder’s exchangeable shares to the partnership for cash in an amount equal to the value of the units received.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be subject to special rules that may result in the recognition of additional taxable gain or income. Under Section 704(c)(1) of the Code, if appreciated property is contributed to a partnership, the contributing partner must recognize any gain that was realized but not recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to the property at the time of the contribution (referred to as “built-in gain”) if the partnership sells such property (or otherwise transfers such property in a taxable exchange) at any time thereafter or distributes such property to another partner within seven years of the contribution in a transaction that does not otherwise result in the recognition of built-in gain by the partnership. Under Section 737 of the Code, the U.S. holder could be required to recognize built-in gain if the partnership were to distribute any property of the partnership other than money (or, in certain circumstances, exchangeable shares) to such former holder of exchangeable shares within seven years of exercise of the partnership call right. Under Section 707(a) of the Code, the U.S. holder could also be required to recognize built-in gain if the partnership were to make distributions (other than “operating cash flow distributions,” unless another exception were to apply) to the U.S. holder within two years of exercise of the partnership call right. If a distribution to a U.S. holder within two years of the transfer of exchangeable shares in exchange for units is treated as part of a deemed sale transaction under Section 707(a) of the Code, the U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss in the year of the transfer of exchangeable shares in exchange for units, and, if the U.S. holder has already filed a tax return for such year, the holder may be required to file an amended return. In such a case, the U.S. holder may also be required to report some amount of imputed interest income.

For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of exchangeable shares for units, see “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exchanging exchangeable shares for units are complex, and each U.S. holder should consult its tax advisor regarding such consequences in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

Canadian federal income tax considerations described herein may be materially and adversely impacted by certain events.

If BBUC ceases to qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” under the Tax Act (as defined below), the income tax considerations described under the heading “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” would be materially and adversely different in certain respects.

In general, there can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws respecting the treatment of mutual fund corporations or otherwise respecting the treatment of BBUC, the partnership and the exchange of exchangeable shares for units as described in this prospectus will not be changed in a manner that adversely affects shareholders or unitholders, or that such tax laws will not be administered in a way that is less advantageous to BBUC, the partnership, shareholders or unitholders.

Your investment may change upon an exchange of exchangeable shares for units.

If you exchange exchangeable shares pursuant to the terms set forth the BBUC articles or the rights agreement, you may receive units or cash in exchange for such exchangeable shares. To the extent that you receive units in any such exchange, you will become a holder of limited partnership units of a Bermuda limited partnership rather than a holder of a security of a British Columbia corporation. We are organized as an exempted limited partnership under the laws of Bermuda, whereas BBUC is organized as a British Columbia corporation. Therefore, recipients of units following an exchange of exchangeable shares for units will have different rights and obligations, including voting rights, from those that they had prior to the consummation of the exchange as a holder of exchangeable shares. See “Comparison of Rights of Holders of Exchangeable Shares and Units.” Although the exchangeable shares are intended to provide an economic return, including with respect to distributions, equivalent to units, we can provide no assurance that the units will trade at comparable market prices to the exchangeable shares.

The units may not trade at the same price as the exchangeable shares.

Although the exchangeable shares are intended to provide an economic return that is equivalent to units, there can be no assurance that the market price of units will be equal to the market price of exchangeable shares at any time. Factors that could cause differences in such market prices may include:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

perception and/or recommendations by analysts, investors and/or other third parties that these securities should be priced differently;

•

actual or perceived differences in dividends to holders of exchangeable shares versus distributions to holders of units, including as a result of any legal prohibitions;

•

business developments or financial performance or other events or conditions that may be specific to only the partnership or BBUC; and

•

difficulty in the exchange mechanics between exchangeable shares and units, including any delays or difficulties experienced by the transfer agent in processing the exchange requests.

Any holder requesting an exchange of their exchangeable shares for which BBUC or the partnership elects to provide units in satisfaction of the exchange amount may experience a delay in receiving such units, which may affect the value of the units the holder receives in an exchange.

Each exchangeable share will be exchangeable at the option of the holder for one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BBUC or the partnership). See “Exchanges of Exchangeable Shares for Units — Primary Exchange Rights — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”. In the event cash is used to satisfy an exchange request, the amount payable per exchangeable share will be equal to the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date that the request for exchange is received by the transfer agent. As a result, any decrease in the value of the units after that date will not affect the amount of cash received. However, any holder whose exchangeable shares are exchanged for units will not receive such units for up to ten (10) business days after the applicable request is received. During this period, the market price of units may decrease. Any such decrease would affect the value of the unit consideration to be received by the holder of exchangeable shares on the effective date of the exchange.

Further, the partnership will be required to maintain an effective registration statement in the United States in order to exchange any exchangeable shares for units. If a registration statement with respect to the units issuable upon any exchange, redemption or acquisition of exchangeable shares (including in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC) is not current or is suspended for use by the SEC, no exchange or redemption of exchangeable shares for units may be effected during such period.

Exchanges of exchangeable shares for units may negatively affect the market price of units, and additional issuances of exchangeable shares would be dilutive to units.

Each exchangeable share will be exchangeable by the holder thereof for one unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our group). See “Exchanges of Exchangeable Shares for Units — Primary Exchange Rights — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”. If our group elects to deliver units in satisfaction of any such exchange request, a significant number of additional units may be issued from time to time which could have a negative impact on the market price for units. Additionally, any exchangeable shares issued by BBUC in the future will also be exchangeable for units, and, accordingly, any future exchanges satisfied by the delivery of units would dilute the percentage interest of existing holders of units and may reduce the market price of units.

Our group has the right to elect whether holders of exchangeable shares receive cash or units upon a liquidation or exchange event.

In the event that (i) there is a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC or the partnership, (ii) BBUC or the partnership exercises its right to redeem (or cause the redemption of) all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares, or (iii) a holder of exchangeable shares requests an exchange of exchangeable shares, holders of exchangeable shares shall be entitled to receive one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events and certain other payment obligations in the case of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC or the partnership) or its cash equivalent. The form of payment will be determined at the election of our group so holders of exchangeable shares will not know whether cash or units will be delivered in connection with any of the events described above. BBUC and the partnership currently intend to satisfy any exchange requests on the exchangeable shares through the delivery of units rather than cash.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BBUC or the partnership may issue additional exchangeable shares or units, respectively, in the future, including in lieu of incurring indebtedness, which may dilute holders of our group’s equity securities. BBUC or the partnership may also issue securities that have rights and privileges that are more favorable than the rights and privileges accorded to our group’s equity holders.

Subject to the terms of any of BBUC securities then outstanding, BBUC may issue additional securities, including exchangeable shares, BBUC class B shares, BBUC class C shares, preference shares, options, rights and warrants for any purpose and for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as BBUC’s board may determine. Subject to the terms of any of BBUC securities then outstanding, BBUC’s board will be able to determine the class, designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of any additional securities, including any rights to share in BBUC’s profits, losses and dividends, any rights to receive BBUC’s assets upon its dissolution or liquidation and any redemption, conversion and exchange rights. Subject to the terms of any of BBUC securities then outstanding, BBUC’s board may use such authority to issue such additional securities, which would dilute holders of such securities, or to issue securities with rights and privileges that are more favorable than those of the exchangeable shares.

Similarly, under our limited partnership agreement, subject to the terms of any preferred units then outstanding, the general partner may issue additional partnership securities, including units, preferred units, options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to partnership securities for any purpose and for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the board of the general partner may determine. Subject to the terms of any partnership securities then outstanding, the board of the general partner will be able to determine the class, designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of any additional partnership securities, including any rights to share in partnership’s profits, losses and dividends, any rights to receive the partnership’s assets upon its dissolution or liquidation and any redemption, conversion and exchange rights. Subject to the terms of any partnership securities then outstanding, the board of the general partner may use such authority to issue such additional partnership securities, which would dilute holders of such securities, or to issue securities with rights and privileges that are more favorable than those of units.

The sale or issuance of a substantial number of exchangeable shares, units or other equity securities of BBUC or the partnership in the public markets, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, could depress the market price of units and impair the partnership’s ability to raise capital through the sale of additional units. We cannot predict the effect that future sales or issuances of exchangeable shares, units or other equity securities would have on the market price of units. Subject to the terms of any of our securities then outstanding, holders of units will not have any pre-emptive right or any right to consent to or otherwise approve the issuance of any securities or the terms on which any such securities may be issued.

The rights agreement may terminate on the fifth anniversary of the distribution date.

This rights agreement will terminate on the fifth anniversary of the distribution date, unless the rights agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. After such date, holders of exchangeable shares may no longer have the benefit of protections provided for by the rights agreement and will be reliant on the rights provided for in the BBUC articles. In the event that BBUC or the partnership fails to satisfy a request for exchange after the expiry of the rights agreement, a tendering holder will not be entitled to rely on the Secondary Exchange Rights (as defined herein). See “Exchanges of Exchangeable Shares for Units”.

Our limited partnership agreement will provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This choice of forum provision could limit our unitholders ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with directors, officers or employees.

Our limited partnership agreement will be amended on the closing of the Special Distribution to provide, that, unless the partnership consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. In the absence of this provision, under the Securities Act, U.S. federal and state courts have been found to have concurrent jurisdiction over suits brought to enforce duties or liabilities created by the Securities Act. This choice of forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce duties or liabilities created by the Exchange Act, which already provides that such federal district courts have exclusive jurisdictions over such suits.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, investors cannot waive our compliance with federal securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations thereunder.

The choice of forum provision that will be contained in our limited partnership agreement may limit our unitholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the partnership or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against the partnership and its directors, officers and other employees. However, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ governing documents has been challenged in recent legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court in the relevant jurisdictions with respect to the partnership could find the choice of forum provision that will be contained in our limited partnership agreement to be inapplicable or unenforceable. While the Delaware Supreme Court ruled in March 2020 that U.S. federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in a U.S. federal court are “facially valid” under Delaware law, there can be no assurance that the courts in Bermuda, and other courts within the United States, reach a similar determination regarding the choice of forum provision that will be contained in our limited partnership agreement. If the relevant court were to find the choice of forum provision that will be contained in our limited partnership agreement to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth the partnership’s cash and capitalization as at June 30, 2021, on an actual basis and after giving effect to the Special Distribution and the transfer of certain business services and industrials operations from the partnership to BBUC as though it had occurred on June 30, 2021; and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as if the Special Distribution and the transfer of certain business services and industrials operations from the partnership took place on January 1, 2021.

The effect of the Special Distribution on the partnership’s financial statements will be such that exchangeable shares issued by BBUC will be classified as non-controlling interests within the consolidated financial statements of the partnership on the basis that these exchangeable shares represent equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent, being the partnership. Consequently, equity attributed to limited partners and non-controlling interest — redemption/exchange units held by Brookfield will be reduced by $751 million and $653 million, respectively, as at the effective date of the Special Distribution with a corresponding increase in the amount of non-controlling interest attributable to the exchangeable shares. The effect of the Special Distribution on the consolidated financial statements of the partnership relating to equity, net income attributable to unitholders and non-controlling interest attributable to exchangeable shares, and basic and diluted earnings per unit attributable to limited partners is as follows:

EXCHANGES OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES FOR UNITS

The exchange rights relating to the exchangeable shares are set forth in the BBUC articles and the rights agreement, which will be effective on or prior to the consummation of the Special Distribution, and are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Upon exchange, holders of exchangeable shares will receive, with respect to each exchanged share, either (i) one unit or (ii) cash in an amount equivalent to the market value of one unit, in each case as described in further detail below.

Primary Exchange Rights

At any time after the distribution date, holders of exchangeable shares shall have the right to exchange all or a portion of their exchangeable shares for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described below in “— Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date that the request for exchange is received by BBUC’s transfer agent (or if not a trading day, the next trading day thereafter) plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the sole election of our group). Holders of exchangeable shares that hold such shares through a broker must contact their brokers to request an exchange on their behalf. Holders of exchangeable shares that are registered holders must contact BBUC’s transfer agent and follow the process described below.

Each holder of exchangeable shares who wishes to exchange one or more of his or her exchangeable shares for units or its cash equivalent is required to complete and deliver a notice of exchange in the form available from BBUC’s transfer agent. Upon receipt of a notice of exchange, BBUC shall, within ten (10) business days after the date that the notice of exchange is received by BBUC’s transfer agent, deliver to the tendering holder of exchangeable shares, in accordance with instructions set forth in the notice of exchange, one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustments in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described below in “— Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date that the request for exchange is received by BBUC’s transfer agent (or if not a trading day, the next trading day thereafter) plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the sole election of BBUC). Upon completion of the exchange of any exchangeable shares as described herein, the holder of exchangeable shares who has exchanged their exchangeable shares will have no further right, with respect to any exchangeable shares so exchanged, to receive any dividends on exchangeable shares with a record date on or after the date on which such exchangeable shares are exchanged.

Notwithstanding the paragraph above, when a notice of exchange has been delivered to each of BBUC and the partnership and, until such time as the rights agreement is terminated, Brookfield, by BBUC’s transfer agent on behalf of a tendering holder of exchangeable shares, BBUC will promptly, and in any event, within one (1) business day after receipt thereof, deliver to each of Brookfield and the partnership a written notification of BBUC’s receipt of such notice of exchange setting forth the identity of the holder of exchangeable shares who wishes to exchange such exchangeable shares and the number of exchangeable shares to be exchanged. We may elect to satisfy our exchange obligation by acquiring all of the tendered exchangeable shares in exchange for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustments in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described below in “— Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date that the request for exchange is received by BBUC’s transfer agent (or if not a trading day, the next trading day thereafter) plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the sole election of the partnership). If we elect to satisfy our exchange obligation, we shall, within three (3) business days from the receipt of the holder’s notice of exchange, provide written notice to BBUC’s transfer agent of our intention to satisfy the exchange obligation and shall satisfy such obligation within ten (10) business days from the date that the notice of exchange is received by BBUC’s transfer agent by delivering to such holder of exchangeable shares the units or its cash equivalent. Our unitholders are not entitled to vote on the partnership’s exercise of the overriding call right described in the preceding sentences.

In the event that a tendering holder of exchangeable shares has not received the number of units or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined by BBUC or the partnership in each of their sole discretion) in satisfaction of the tendered exchangeable shares, then such tendering holder of exchangeable shares will be entitled to receive the equivalent of such cash amount or units amount from Brookfield pursuant

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to the rights agreement until the fifth anniversary of the distribution date. In this scenario, the tendered exchangeable shares will be delivered to the rights agent (as defined below) in exchange for the delivery of the equivalent of the cash amount or units amount from a collateral account of Brookfield administered by the rights agent. See the section entitled “— Secondary Exchange Rights” for a further description of the rights agreement. Prior to completion of the Special Distribution, the partnership will agree to indemnify Brookfield, in its capacity as selling securityholder, for certain liabilities under applicable securities laws concerning selling securityholders, in connection with any units delivered by Brookfield pursuant to the rights agreement.

No Fractional Units. No fractional units will be issued or delivered upon exchange of exchangeable shares. In lieu of any fractional units to which the tendering holder of exchangeable shares would otherwise be entitled at our group’s election, our group will pay an amount in cash equal to the unit value on the trading day immediately preceding the exchange date multiplied by such fraction of a unit.

Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events. The conversion factor (which initially shall be one) is subject to adjustment in accordance with the BBUC articles to reflect certain capital events, including (i) if the partnership or BBUC declares or pays a distribution to its unitholders consisting wholly or partly of units or a dividend to its shareholders consisting wholly or partly of exchangeable shares, as applicable, without a corresponding distribution or dividend, as applicable, being declared or paid by the other entity; (ii) if the partnership or BBUC splits, subdivides, reverse-splits or combines its outstanding units or exchangeable shares, as applicable, without a corresponding event occurring at the other entity; (iii) if the partnership or BBUC distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its units or exchangeable shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire units or exchangeable shares (or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for units or exchangeable shares), as applicable, without a corresponding distribution of rights, options or warrants by the other entity; (iv) if the partnership distributes to all or substantially all holders of units evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities), or assets or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities but excluding all distributions where a comparable distribution (or the cash equivalent) is made by BBUC; or (v) if the partnership or one of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the units (but excluding for all purposes any exchange or tender offer to exchange units for exchangeable shares or any other security economically equivalent to units), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per unit exceeds certain thresholds.

Secondary Exchange Rights

Brookfield will, on or prior to the completion of the Special distribution, enter into the rights agreement with the Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “rights agent”), pursuant to which Brookfield will agree that, until the fifth anniversary of the distribution date, upon an exchange of exchangeable shares, if BBUC has not satisfied its obligation under the BBUC articles by delivering the unit amount or its cash equivalent amount (or the partnership has not exercised its call right), Brookfield will satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations pursuant to the BBUC articles to exchange such exchangeable shares for the unit amount or its cash equivalent. Brookfield currently intends to satisfy any exchange requests on the exchangeable shares through the delivery of units rather than cash. The Master Services Agreement between Brookfield, the partnership, Holding LP and others will be amended to provide that, so long as Brookfield is a party to the rights agreement, Brookfield shall have a consent right prior to the issuance by BBUC of any exchangeable shares, subject to certain exceptions. The summary that follows assumes that the rights agreement has been entered into.

Appointment of Rights Agent; Term. The rights agent has agreed to act as the rights agent for the holders, as a class and not individually, of the exchangeable shares. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the BBUC articles, a holder of exchangeable shares may request to exchange each exchangeable share (the “subject exchangeable share”) for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of our group) — see “— Primary Exchange Rights — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events” above). Upon receipt of a notice of exchange, BBUC shall, within ten (10) business days after the date that the notice of exchange is received by BBUC’s transfer agent (the “specified exchange date”) deliver to the tendering holder of exchangeable shares, such unit or cash amount. Pursuant to the rights agreement, Brookfield has agreed

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that, in the event that, on the applicable specified exchange date with respect to any subject exchangeable shares, (i) BBUC has not satisfied its obligation under the BBUC articles by delivering the unit or cash amount and (ii) the partnership has not, upon its election in its sole and absolute discretion, acquired such subject exchangeable share from the holder thereof and delivered the unit or cash amount, Brookfield will satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations pursuant to the BBUC articles to exchange such subject exchangeable shares for the unit amount or the cash amount. The holders of exchangeable shares have a right to receive the unit amount or the cash amount in such circumstances (the “Secondary Exchange Rights”).

The Secondary Exchange Rights are a part of the terms of the exchangeable shares and may not be evidenced, transferred or assigned separate or apart from the exchangeable shares. The obligations of the rights agent under the rights agreement will become effective on the distribution date.

This rights agreement will terminate on the fifth anniversary of the distribution date, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms as described below.

As at the date of the rights agreement, Brookfield will represent and warrant that Brookfield has the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under the rights agreement.

Satisfaction of Secondary Exchange Rights. In accordance with the rights agreement, Brookfield has agreed to satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations with respect to the Secondary Exchange Rights contained in the BBUC articles. The rights agent has agreed to establish a collateral account, and Brookfield will contribute an amount of cash or securities in accordance with the rights agreement (as further described below) in order to enable the rights agent to exchange subject exchangeable shares for the cash amount or the unit amount in accordance with the rights agreement.

In accordance with the BBUC articles, BBUC is required to deliver a notice (the “BBUC notice”) to the rights agent and Brookfield on the specified exchange date if the conditions to the exercise of the Secondary Exchange Rights with respect to any subject exchangeable shares have been satisfied. The BBUC notice must set forth the unit amount and the cash amount for such subject exchangeable shares and any necessary wire transfer or other delivery instructions. Brookfield may provide notice to the rights agent by the business day immediately following receipt of the BBUC notice, providing that Brookfield has elected, in Brookfield’s sole discretion, to fund the cash amount. If the rights agent has not received such notice from Brookfield, the rights agent must exchange the subject exchangeable shares for a number of units held in the collateral account equal to the unit amount and promptly, and in any event within two (2) business days, deliver such units from the collateral account to the holder of the subject exchangeable shares. If there are not enough units in the collateral account to satisfy the unit amount with respect to one or more of such subject exchangeable shares, the rights agent will exchange such subject exchangeable shares for an amount of cash from the collateral account equal to the cash amount and promptly, and in any event within two (2) business days, deliver the cash amount to the holder of the subject exchangeable shares.

If the holder of subject exchangeable shares has not received the units amount or the cash amount by the specified exchange date, the holder of subject exchangeable shares may deliver, or cause to be delivered, a notice (the “exchanging shareholder notice”) to the rights agent and Brookfield. The exchanging shareholder notice must set forth the number of such subject exchangeable shares and any necessary wire transfer or other delivery instructions and be in a format that is acceptable to the rights agent. As promptly as practicable and in an event on or prior to the next business day following receipt of the exchanging shareholder notice, Brookfield will provide notice to the rights agent (i) setting forth the unit amount and the cash amount for such subject exchangeable shares and (ii) either (a) providing that Brookfield has elected, in Brookfield’s sole discretion, to fund the cash amount or (b) instructing the rights agent to exchange each subject exchangeable share. Brookfield is not obligated to deliver such notice if it has determined in good faith that the conditions to the exercise of the Secondary Exchange Right have not been satisfied. On or prior to the second business day following receipt by the rights agent of such instruction by Brookfield, the exchanging shareholder notice and the subject exchangeable shares, the rights agent will exchange such subject exchangeable shares for the unit amount from the collateral account or, if there are not enough units in the collateral account, for the cash amount from the collateral account.

With respect to any exchange of subject exchangeable shares, Brookfield may elect to instruct the rights agent to exchange the subject exchangeable shares for the cash amount. If Brookfield makes such an election

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and there is not a sufficient amount of cash in the collateral account, Brookfield must deposit the required amount into the collateral account simultaneously with such election.

In connection with the exercise by a holder of the Secondary Exchange Rights with respect to any subject exchangeable shares held through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), such holder will deliver to the rights agent such subject exchangeable shares pursuant to DTC’s applicable procedures. In addition, such holder will deliver to the rights agent via e-mail on the business day prior to delivery of such subject exchangeable shares a copy of the exchanging shareholder notice, if applicable.

Receipt of Subject Exchangeable Shares; Withholding. Holders of subject exchangeable shares will deliver such shares free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, and should any such liens, claims and encumbrances exist with respect to such subject exchangeable shares, the holder of such subject exchangeable shares will not be entitled to exercise its Secondary Exchange Rights with respect to such shares. Each holder of subject exchangeable shares will pay to Brookfield the amount of any tax withholding due upon the exchange of such shares and, in the event Brookfield elects to acquire some or all of the subject exchangeable shares in exchange for the cash amount, will authorize Brookfield to retain a portion of the cash amount to satisfy tax withholding obligations. If Brookfield elects to acquire some or all of the subject exchangeable shares in exchange for the unit amount, Brookfield may elect to either satisfy the amount of any tax withholding by retaining units with a fair market value equal to the amount of such obligation, or satisfy such tax withholding obligation using amounts paid by Brookfield, which amounts will be treated as a loan by Brookfield to the holder of the subject exchangeable shares, in each case, unless the holder, at the holder’s election, has made arrangements to pay the amount of any such tax withholding.

Units Record Date. Each former holder of subject exchangeable shares who receives the unit amount will be deemed to have become the owner of the units as of the date upon which such subject exchangeable shares are duly surrendered in accordance with the rights agreement.

Collateral Account. Brookfield or its affiliates will establish one or more non-interest bearing trust accounts to be administered by the rights agent (the “collateral account(s)”). At all times on and after the date of issuance of any exchangeable shares by BBUC, Brookfield will ensure that the aggregate of (i) the units in or issuable pursuant to any convertible securities in the collateral account (the “collateral account unit balance”) and (ii) the number of units equal to the aggregate amount of cash in the collateral account divided by the value of a unit (the “collateral cash balance” and, together with the collateral account unit balance, the “collateral account balance”) will at all times be equal to or exceed the number of units that is equal to the product of the total number of exchangeable shares outstanding (excluding those owned by Brookfield or its affiliates) multiplied by the conversion factor in accordance with the BBUC articles (the “required collateral account balance”).

If the collateral account balance is at any time less than the required collateral account balance, Brookfield will, within two (2) business days, deposit or cause to be deposited into the collateral account either (i) a number of units or any security convertible into or redeemable for units (other than exchangeable shares) (the “unit convertibles”), or (ii) an amount of cash or cash equivalents, in each case in an amount necessary to cause the collateral account balance to be at least equal to the required collateral account balance. To the extent that conversion or redemption of a unit convertible results in the imposition of any fees, payments, premiums or penalties, such fees, payments, premiums or penalties will be borne by Brookfield or its affiliates, and must either be satisfied directly by Brookfield or such affiliates or will be deemed to reduce the collateral account balance. Brookfield must keep the rights agent informed of the collateral account balance and the required collateral account balance in writing on a regular basis, and must inform the rights agent in writing within two (2) business days of any change in the collateral account balance or the required collateral account balance for any reason, including as a result of an adjustment to the conversion factor pursuant to the BBUC articles.

Brookfield and its affiliates will not be entitled to withdraw any unit or unit convertible from the collateral account, except (i) if the collateral account balance exceeds the required collateral account balance, either as a result of a change in the conversion factor pursuant to the BBUC articles or a decrease in the number of exchangeable shares outstanding (excluding exchangeable shares held by Brookfield or its affiliates) or (ii) upon the deposit by Brookfield or its affiliates of an amount in cash or cash equivalents equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the value of the units withdrawn.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the collateral account contains any amount of cash in lieu of units, such cash amount is required to be no less than the product of the required collateral account balance minus the collateral account unit balance, multiplied by one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the value of a unit (the “required collateral account cash balance”). If at any time the collateral account cash balance is less than the required collateral account cash balance, Brookfield will within two (2) business days cause to be deposited cash or cash equivalents in the collateral account in an amount sufficient to cause the collateral account cash balance to be at least equal to the required collateral account cash balance.

Brookfield and its affiliates will not be entitled to withdraw any cash or cash equivalents from the collateral account, except (i) to the extent the collateral account cash balance is greater than one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the required collateral account cash balance or (ii) upon the deposit in the collateral account of a corresponding number of units or unit convertibles.

Registration of Units. Brookfield has agreed that if a shelf registration statement has not been effective for five (5) consecutive business days with respect to all of the units in the collateral account, including units issuable from time to time upon conversion of or redemption for unit convertibles, and the transfer of such units from the collateral account to a holder of subject exchangeable shares, Brookfield will cause to be deposited into the collateral account an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the value of all units (including units issuable from time to time upon conversion of or redemption for unit convertibles) held in the collateral account at such time; provided, however, no such deposit is required to the extent all of the units in the collateral account, including units issuable from time to time upon conversion of or redemption for unit convertibles, and the transfer of such units from the collateral account to a holder of subject exchangeable shares, are registered under an effective shelf registration statement.

Termination or Amendment. This rights agreement will terminate automatically on the earliest of (i) the date on which there are no exchangeable shares outstanding, other than exchangeable shares owned by Brookfield or its affiliates and (ii) the fifth anniversary of distribution date. Brookfield may not, without the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds (2∕3rds) of the outstanding exchangeable shares not held by Brookfield, voting as a class, and the approval of a majority of the independent directors of BBUC, materially amend, modify, or alter the rights agreement or repeal, terminate or waive any rights under the rights agreement. After the expiry of the rights agreement, holders of exchangeable shares will continue to have all of the rights provided for in the BBUC articles but will no longer be entitled to rely on the Secondary Exchange Rights.

Redemption

BBUC’s board of directors will have the right upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to holders of exchangeable shares to redeem all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable law, including without limitation following the occurrence of any of the following redemption events: (i) the total number of exchangeable shares outstanding decreases by 50% or more over any twelve-month period; (ii) a person acquires 90% of the units in a take-over bid (as defined by applicable securities law); (iii) unitholders of the partnership approve an acquisition of the partnership by way of arrangement or amalgamation; (iv) unitholders of the partnership approve a restructuring or other reorganization of the partnership; (v) there is a sale of all or substantially all of the partnership assets; (vi) there is a change of law (whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action), administrative practice or interpretation, or a change in circumstances of BBUC and its shareholders, that may result in adverse tax consequences for BBUC or its shareholders; or (vii) BBUC’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, concludes that the unitholders of the partnership or holders of exchangeable shares are adversely impacted by a fact, change or other circumstance relating to BBUC. For greater certainty, unitholders do not have the ability to vote on such redemption and the BBUC board’s decision to redeem all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares will be final. In addition, the holder of BBUC class B shares may deliver a notice to BBUC specifying a redemption date upon which BBUC shall redeem all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares, and upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice from BBUC to holders of the exchangeable shares and without the consent of holders of exchangeable shares, BBUC shall be required to redeem all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares on such redemption date, subject to applicable law.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Upon any such redemption event, the holders of exchangeable shares shall be entitled to receive pursuant to such redemption one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described above in “— Primary Exchange Right — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the trading day immediately preceding the announcement of such redemption plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BBUC).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any redemption event, we may elect to acquire all of the outstanding exchangeable shares in exchange for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described above in “— Primary Exchange Right — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the trading day immediately preceding the announcement of such redemption plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at our election). Our unitholders are not entitled to vote on our exercise of the overriding call right described in the preceding sentences.

Liquidation

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC, and subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes and series of preferred shares and any other class of shares of BBUC ranking in priority or ratably with the exchangeable shares and after the payment in full to (i) any holder of exchangeable shares that has submitted a notice of the exercise of the exchange rights described above or any holder of BBUC class C shares that has submitted a notice of BBUC class C retraction, in each case at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and (ii) any holder of BBUC class B shares that has submitted a notice of retraction at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of exchangeable shares shall be entitled to an amount in cash per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described above in “— Primary Exchange Right — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) equal to the NYSE closing price of one unit on the trading day immediately preceding announcement of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all unpaid dividends, if any. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of BBUC are insufficient to make such payment in full, then the assets of BBUC will be distributed among the holders of exchangeable shares ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled to receive.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC, (i) BBUC may elect to redeem all of the outstanding exchangeable shares for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BEPC or the partnership as described above “— Primary Exchange Right — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”), plus all unpaid dividends, if any, and (ii) we may elect to acquire all of the outstanding exchangeable shares for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described above in “— Primary Exchange Right — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) plus all unpaid dividends, if any. Unitholders are not entitled to vote on any such redemption of the exchangeable shares by BBUC or on the partnership’s exercise of the overriding call right described in the preceding sentences.

Automatic Redemption upon Liquidation of the Partnership

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the partnership, including where substantially concurrent with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC, all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares will be automatically redeemed by BBUC, in BBUC’s sole and absolute discretion, on the day prior to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the partnership. In such case, each holder of exchangeable shares shall be entitled to one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described above in “— Primary Exchange Right — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the trading day immediately preceding the announcement of such redemption plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BBUC).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such redemption, we may elect to acquire all of the outstanding exchangeable shares in exchange for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event

of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership as described above in “— Primary Exchange Right — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”) plus all unpaid dividends, if any. The acquisition by the partnership of all the outstanding exchangeable shares will occur on the day prior to the effective date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the partnership. Unitholders are not entitled to vote on the partnership’s exercise of the overriding call right described in the preceding sentences.

Registration Rights Agreement

Prior to the completion of the Special Distribution, the partnership, BBUC and Brookfield will enter into a registration rights agreement, comparable to the registration rights agreement existing between Brookfield and the partnership. Under the such registration rights agreement, BBUC and the partnership will agree that, upon the request of Brookfield, BBUC and the partnership will, as necessary take such actions to register for sale and qualify for distribution under applicable securities laws any of the exchangeable shares held by Brookfield and the underlying units that may be issued or delivered to satisfy any exchange, redemption or acquisition of exchangeable shares (including, if applicable, in connection with liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC). In the registration rights agreement, BBUC will agree to pay expenses in connection with such registration and sales and will indemnify Brookfield for material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement. This prospectus constitutes a prospectus of the partnership with respect to the delivery of units to holders of exchangeable shares upon exchange, redemption or acquisition, as applicable, of exchangeable shares as contemplated by the registration rights agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP’S CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The following is a description of the material terms of the units and a summary of certain terms of the limited partnership agreement of the partnership, as amended (the “limited partnership agreement”), which is incorporated herein by reference. For more information on the limited partnership agreement, see Item 10.B, “Additional Information — Memorandum and Articles of Association — Description of Our Units and Our Limited Partnership Agreement” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Our authorized partnership interests consist of an unlimited number of units and any additional partnership interests representing limited partnership interests of the partnership that may be issued. As of September 30, 2021, there were 77,845,045 units outstanding (or 147,550,562 units assuming the exchange of all redemption/exchange units). The redemption/exchange units are subject to a redemption-exchange mechanism pursuant to which units may be issued in exchange for redemption/exchange units on a one for one basis. Brookfield owns, directly and indirectly, approximately 64% of the partnership assuming the exchange of all of the redemption/exchange units held by Brookfield.

The units are non-voting limited partnership interests in the partnership. Holders of units are not entitled to the withdrawal or return of capital contributions in respect of the units, except to the extent, if any, that distributions are made to such holders pursuant to the limited partnership agreement or upon the liquidation of the partnership as described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F or as otherwise required by applicable law. Except to the extent expressly provided in the limited partnership agreement, a holder of units will not have priority over any other holder of units, either as to the return of capital contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions. Holders of units will not be granted any preemptive or other similar right to acquire additional interests in the partnership. In addition, holders of units do not have any right to have their units redeemed by the partnership.

Further, the partnership’s limited partners, in their capacities as such, may not take part in the management or control of the activities and affairs of the partnership and do not have any right or authority to act for or to bind the partnership or to take part or interfere in the conduct or management of the partnership. Limited partners are not entitled to vote on matters relating to the partnership, although holders of the units are entitled to consent to certain matters as described in the limited partnership agreement of the partnership which may be effected only with the consent of the holders of the percentages of outstanding units specified in the limited partnership agreement. Each unit shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote for the purposes of any approvals of holders of units.

Further, subject to the terms of any preferred units of the partnership then outstanding, the limited partnership agreement authorizes us to establish one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes of preferred units of the partnership with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties as shall be determined by the general partner in its sole discretion, including: (i) the right to share in our profits and losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in our distributions; (iii) the rights upon our dissolution and liquidation; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, we may or shall be required to redeem preferred units (including sinking fund provisions); (v) whether such preferred unit is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each preferred unit will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; and (viii) the requirement, if any, of each such preferred unit to consent to certain partnership matters.

For a more detailed description of the units, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 20-F, as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference.

The rights of holders of exchangeable shares will be governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”) and the BBUC articles. The rights of holders of the units are governed by the partnership’s limited partnership agreement and certain provisions of Bermuda law.

All exchangeable shares, BBUC class B shares, BBUC class C shares, BBUC class A senior preferred shares and BBUC class B junior preferred shares will be issued without par value. The number of authorized exchangeable shares can be changed in accordance with the BBUC articles or, if the BBUC articles are silent, by special resolution, in accordance with s. 54(3)(c) of the BCBCA. Subject to the BBUC articles, including the terms of the shares then outstanding, BBUC’s board of directors has broad	The partnership is a Bermuda-exempted limited partnership registered under the Bermuda Limited Partnership Act 1883 and the Bermuda Exempted Partnerships Act 1992.

Voting Rights	Except as otherwise expressly provided in the BBUC articles or as required by law, the holders of exchangeable shares and BBUC class B shares, will vote together and not as separate classes. Each holder of an exchangeable share will be entitled to cast one vote per exchangeable share on all matters submitted to a vote. On each such matter, the holders of BBUC class B shares will be entitled to cast, in the aggregate, a number of votes equal to three times the number of votes attached to the exchangeable shares. As Brookfield Business Partners will hold all of the class B shares, it will hold 75% of the votes eligible to be cast on all matters where the exchangeable shares and class B shares vote together. At any time that no exchangeable shares are outstanding and for any vote held only in respect of the BBUC class B shares, the holder of the BBUC class B shares will be entitled to cast one vote per BBUC class B share. At any time that no exchangeable shares are outstanding, quorum will be at least one holder of BBUC class B shares.	Limited partners are not entitled to vote on matters relating to the partnership, although holders of units are entitled to consent to certain matters with respect to certain amendments to the partnership’s limited partnership agreement and certain matters with respect to the withdrawal of the partnership’s general partner. Each unit entitles the holder thereof to one vote for the purposes of any approvals of holders of units. In addition to their rights under the partnership’s limited partnership agreement, limited partners have consent rights with respect to certain fundamental matters and on any other matters that require their approval in accordance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules.
Size of Board	Following completion of the Special Distribution, BBUC’s board will be set at eight (8) directors. BBUC’s board of directors may consist of between three (3) and eleven (11) directors or such other number of directors as may be determined from time to time by a resolution of	The partnership’s general partner board of directors is currently set at eight (8) directors but is expected to be set at seven (7) directors following the expected resignation of David Court prior to the Special Distribution.

David Court will initially serve as the non-overlapping member of BBUC’s board of directors. Mr. Court has served on the board of directors of the general partner of the partnership since February 2018 and will resign from such board of directors prior to the Special Distribution. At least three (3) directors and at least a majority of the directors holding office must be independent of BBUC, as determined by the full board using the standards for independence established by the NYSE.	eleven (11) directors or such other number of directors as may be determined from time to time by a resolution of the shareholders of the partnership’s general partner and subject to its bye-laws. At least three (3) directors and at least a majority of the directors holding office must be independent of the partnership’s general partner and Brookfield, as determined by the full board of directors using the standards of independence established by NYSE.
Election and Removal of Directors	BBUC’s board is elected by its shareholders and each of its current directors will serve until immediately before the election or appointment of directors at the next annual meeting of shareholders of BBUC or his or her death, resignation or removal from office, whichever occurs first. Vacancies on BBUC’s board of directors may be filled and additional directors may be added by a resolution of BBUC’s shareholders or a vote of the directors then in office. A director may be removed from office by a special resolution duly passed by BBUC’s shareholders or a resolution of the directors if the director is convicted of an indictable offence, or if the director ceases to be qualified to act as a director of BBUC and does not promptly resign. A director will be automatically removed from BBUC’s board of directors if he or she becomes bankrupt, insolvent or suspends payments to his or her creditors or becomes disqualified by law from acting as a director pursuant to the BCBCA.

Process to Amend the Governing Instruments	BBUC may from time to time amend, modify or repeal any provision contained in the BBUC articles in a manner authorized by the BCBCA. Under the BCBCA, alteration of the articles generally requires authorization by either court order, by a two-thirds (2/3rds) vote of all voting shares or by the methods specified in the BBUC articles. Certain alterations to matters such as changes to company name or address or a change in directors will not require authorization by the above-mentioned methods. Specific alterations such as those of a nature affecting a particular class or series in a manner that would prejudice or interfere with the rights of such class or series, will entitle the affected class or series to consent by special resolution to the alteration, whether or not such class or series otherwise carries the right to vote. Under the BCBCA, BBUC may resolve to alter its articles by the type of resolution specified in the BCBCA, if not specified in the BCBCA, by the type of resolution specified in the BBUC articles or if neither the BCBCA or the BBUC articles specify the type of resolution, by a two-thirds (2/3rds) vote of all voting shares; provided however, if such alteration would prejudice or interfere with the rights of a particular class or series, such class or series must consent by special resolution to the alteration, whether or not such class or series otherwise carries the right to vote.	Amendments to the partnership’s limited partnership agreement may be proposed only by or with the consent of the partnership’s general partner. To adopt a proposed amendment, other than the amendments that do not require limited partner approval discussed below, the partnership’s general partner must seek approval of a majority of outstanding units required to approve the amendment, either by way of a meeting of the limited partners to consider and vote upon the proposed amendment or by written approval. No amendment may be made that would: (i) enlarge the obligations of any limited partner without its consent, except any amendment that would have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of any class of partnership interests in relation to other classes of partnership interests may be approved by at least a majority of the type or class of partnership interests so affected; or (ii) enlarge the obligations of, restrict in any way any action by or rights of, or reduce in any way the amounts distributable, reimbursable or otherwise payable by the partnership to, the partnership’s general partner or any of its affiliates without the consent of the partnership’s general partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion. The provision of the partnership’s limited partnership agreement preventing the amendments having the effects described in clauses (i) and (ii) above can be amended upon the approval of the holders of at least 90% of the outstanding units.
		Subject to applicable law, the partnership’s general partner may generally make amendments to the partnership’s limited partnership agreement without the approval of any limited partner to reflect: (i) a change in the name of the partnership, the location of its registered office or its registered agent; (ii) the admission, substitution or withdrawal of partners in accordance with the partnership’s limited partnership agreement; (iii) a change that the partnership’s general partner determines is

						partnership’s fiscal year and related changes; or (xi) any other amendments substantially similar to any of the matters described in (i) through (x) above.
						In addition, the partnership’s general partner may make amendments to the partnership’s limited partnership agreement without the approval of any limited partner if those amendments, in the discretion of the partnership’s general partner: (i) do not adversely affect the partnership’s limited partners considered as a whole (including any particular class of partnership interests as compared to other classes of partnership interests) in any material respect; (ii) are necessary or appropriate to satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in any opinion, directive, order, ruling or regulation of any governmental agency or judicial authority; (iii) are necessary or appropriate to facilitate the trading of the units or to comply with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any securities exchange on which the units are or will be listed for trading; (iv) are necessary or appropriate for any action taken by the partnership’s general partner relating to splits or combinations of units under the provisions of the partnership’s limited partnership agreement; or (v) are required to effect the intent expressed in the Registration Statement (as defined in the partnership’s limited partnership agreement) or the intent of the provisions of the partnership’s limited partnership agreement or are otherwise contemplated by the partnership’s limited partnership agreement. The partnership’s general partner will not be required to obtain an opinion of counsel that an amendment will not result in a loss of limited liability to the limited partners if one of the amendments described in the preceding two paragraphs should occur. No other amendments to the partnership’s limited partnership agreement will become effective without the approval of holders of at least 90% of the units, unless the partnership obtains an opinion of counsel to the effect that the amendment will not (i) cause the

	EXCHANGEABLE SHARES	UNITS
		partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise taxable as an entity for tax purposes (provided that for U.S. tax purposes the partnership’s general partner has not made the election described below under the section entitled “Qualification”), or (ii) affect the limited liability under the Bermuda Limited Partnership Act 1883 of any of the partnership’s limited partners.
		In addition to the above restrictions, any amendment that would have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of any type or class of partnership interests in relation to other classes of partnership interests will also require the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding partnership interests of the class so affected. In addition, any amendment that reduces the voting percentage required to take any action must be approved by the written consent or affirmative vote of limited partners whose aggregate outstanding voting units constitute not less than the voting requirement sought to be reduced.
Special Meetings of the Shareholders	A special meeting of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be called only by BBUC’s board on a date not less than twenty-one (21) days nor more than two (2) months after the sending of the notice of the meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.	The partnership’s general partner may call special meetings of the limited partners at a time and place outside of Canada determined by the partnership’s general partner on a date not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the mailing of notice of the meeting. The limited partners do not have the ability to call a special meeting. Only holders of record on the date set by the partnership’s general partner (which may not be less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting) are entitled to notice of any meeting.
Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting	Under the BCBCA, generally, shareholder action without a meeting may only be taken by consent resolution of the shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution: with a written consent executed by shareholders holding two-thirds (2∕3rds) of the shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings being effective to approve an action requiring an ordinary resolution; or with a written consent executed by all shareholders that carry the right to vote at general meetings	Written consents may be solicited only by or on behalf of the partnership’s general partner. Any such consent solicitation may specify that any written consents must be returned to the partnership within the time period, which may not be less than twenty (20) days, specified by the partnership’s general partner. For purposes of determining holders of partnership interests entitled to provide consents to any action described above,

Only those holders of partnership interests on the record date established by the partnership’s general partner will be entitled to provide consents with respect to matters as to which a consent right applies.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers	No director will be personally liable to BBUC or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent such exemption is not permitted under the BCBCA. Under the BCBCA, no provision in the BBUC articles or other contract relieves a director or officer from (i) the duty to act in accordance with the BCBCA and the regulations, or (ii) liability that by virtue of any enactment or rule of law or equity would otherwise attach to that director or officer in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which the director or officer may be guilty in relation to BBUC. To the fullest extent permitted by law, BBUC will indemnify any present or former director or officer of BBUC (or a person serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation), who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action while acting in such capacity, for all liability and loss suffered (including, without limitation, any judgments, fines, or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), actually and reasonably incurred.	Under the partnership’s limited partnership agreement, the partnership is required to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law the partnership’s general partner and any of its affiliates (and their respective officers, directors, agents, shareholders, partners, members and employees), any person who serves on a governing body of a holding entity or operating entity of the partnership and any other person designated by the partnership’s general partner as an indemnified person, in each case, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, incurred by an indemnified person in connection with the partnership’s investments and activities or by reason of their holding such positions, except to the extent that the claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses are determined to have resulted from the indemnified person’s bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, action that the indemnified person knew to have been unlawful. In addition, under the partnership’s limited partnership agreement: (i) the liability of such persons has been limited to the fullest extent permitted by law, except to the extent that their conduct involves bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, action that the indemnified person knew to have been unlawful; and (ii) any matter that is approved by the independent directors of the partnership’s general partner will not

TABLE OF CONTENTS

			EXCHANGEABLE SHARES			UNITS
						constitute a breach of the partnership’s limited partnership agreement or any duties stated or implied by law or equity, including fiduciary duties. The partnership’s limited partnership agreement requires the partnership to advance funds to pay the expenses of an indemnified person in connection with a matter in which indemnification may be sought until it is determined that the indemnified person is not entitled to indemnification.
			Subject to any restrictions in the BCBCA, BBUC may agree to indemnify and may indemnify any person (including an eligible party) against eligible penalties and pay expenses incurred in connection with the performance of services by that person for BBUC. BBUC may enter into agreements with any such person to provide such indemnification. The right to indemnification includes the right to be paid by BBUC the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such person in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such that the advances are paid by BBUC within sixty (60) days after the receipt by BBUC of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time (and subject to filing a written request for indemnification pursuant to the BBUC articles). BBUC will not indemnify any present or former director or officer of BBUC for acts of bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, gross negligence, knowing violation of law or reckless disregard of the director’s duties or for any act for which indemnification is specifically prohibited under the BCBCA.			The partnership’s general partner’s bye-laws provide that, as permitted by the laws of Bermuda, it will pay or reimburse an indemnified person’s expenses in advance of a final disposition of a proceeding for which indemnification is sought. Under the partnership’s general partner’s bye-laws, the partnership’s general partner is required to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, its affiliates, directors, officers, resident representatives, shareholders, employees or any of its subsidiaries and certain others against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, incurred by an indemnified person in connection with the partnership’s investments and activities or in respect of or arising from their holding such positions, except to the extent that the claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses are determined to have resulted from the indemnified person’s bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, action that the indemnified person knew to have been unlawful. In addition, under the partnership’s general partner’s bye-laws: (i) the liability of such persons has been limited to the fullest extent permitted by law and except to the extent that their conduct involves bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, action that the indemnified person knew to have been unlawful; and (ii) any matter that is

	EXCHANGEABLE SHARES	UNITS
		approved by the independent directors will not constitute a breach of any duties stated or implied by law or equity, including fiduciary duties. The partnership’s general partner’s bye-laws require it to advance funds to pay the expenses of an indemnified person in connection with a matter in which indemnification may be sought until it is determined that the indemnified person is not entitled to indemnification.
Dividends and Distributions	Pursuant to the BBUC articles and subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes and series of preferred shares at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, each exchangeable share will entitle its holder to the exchangeable dividend, in a cash amount equal in value to (i) the amount of any distribution made on a unit multiplied by (ii) the conversion factor determined in accordance with the BBUC articles and in effect on the record date of such dividend (which conversion factor will initially be one, subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership). See “Exchanges of Exchangeable Shares for Units — Primary Exchange Rights — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”. The record and payment dates for the dividends upon the exchangeable shares, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, shall be substantially the same as the record and payment dates for distributions on the units. If the full amount of an exchangeable dividend is not declared and paid concurrent with a distribution on the units, then the undeclared or unpaid amount of such exchangeable dividend shall accrue and accumulate (without interest), whether or not BBUC has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment thereof and whether or not such exchangeable dividend has been declared or authorized. Any exchangeable dividend payment made shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid exchangeable dividends due which remain payable (“unpaid dividend”).	Distributions to partners of the partnership will be made in accordance with their Percentage Interests (as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the partnership) only as determined by the general partner in its sole discretion. However, the general partner will not be permitted to cause the partnership to make a distribution if the partnership does not have sufficient cash on hand to make the distribution, the distribution would render the partnership insolvent, or if, in the opinion of the general partner, the distribution would leave the partnership with insufficient funds to meet any future or contingent obligations, or the distribution would contravene applicable laws. The general partner has sole authority to determine whether the partnership will make distributions and the amount and timing of these distributions.

	All exchangeable dividends shall be paid prior and in preference to any dividends or distributions on the BBUC class C shares. Share dividends, if any, paid on the exchangeable shares and BBUC class C shares will be declared contemporaneously and paid at the same time in equal numbers of additional shares of the same class and series such that share dividends will be paid in exchangeable shares to holders of the exchangeable shares and in BBUC class C shares to holders of the BBUC class C shares. The holders of exchangeable shares shall not be entitled to any dividends from BBUC other than the exchangeable dividends.
Exchange by Holder	At any time after the distribution date, holders of exchangeable shares shall have the right to exchange all or a portion of their exchangeable shares for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date of the request for exchange (or if not a trading day, the next trading day thereafter) plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BBUC). See “Exchanges of Exchangeable Shares for Units — Primary Exchange Rights — Adjustments to Reflect Certain Capital Events”. The partnership may elect to satisfy BBUC’s exchange obligation by acquiring all of the tendered exchangeable shares for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the date that the request for exchange is received by BBUC’s transfer agent (or if not a trading day, the next trading day thereafter) plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the election of the partnership).

Redemption by Issuer	BBUC’s board of directors will have the right upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to holders of exchangeable shares to redeem all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion subject to applicable law, including without limitation following the occurrence of certain redemption events described in “Exchanges of Exchangeable Shares for Units — Redemption”. In addition, the holder of BBUC class B shares may deliver a notice to BBUC specifying a redemption date upon which BBUC shall redeem all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares, and upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice from BBUC to holders of the exchangeable shares and without the consent of holders of exchangeable shares, BBUC shall be required to redeem all of the then outstanding exchangeable shares on such redemption date, subject to applicable law. Upon any such redemption event, the holders of exchangeable shares shall be entitled to one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the trading day immediately preceding the announcement of such redemption plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BBUC).

Qualification	N/A	If the partnership’s general partner determines in its sole discretion that it is no longer in the partnership’s best interests to continue as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the partnership’s general partner may elect to treat partnership as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes.
Liquidation	Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC, and subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred shares and any other class of shares of BBUC ranking in priority or ratably with the exchangeable shares and after the payment in full to (i) any holder of exchangeable shares or BBUC class C shares that has submitted a notice of the exercise of the exchange rights described above at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up (or in the case of the BBUC class B shares, thirty (30) days prior to the date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up) and (ii) any unpaid dividends, the holders of exchangeable shares shall be entitled to one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership described in this prospectus) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one unit on the trading day immediately preceding announcement of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BBUC).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC, the partnership may elect to acquire all of the outstanding exchangeable shares for one unit per exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or the partnership) plus all unpaid dividends, if any.

The partnership will be reconstituted and continue without dissolution if within thirty (30) days of the date of dissolution (and provided a notice of dissolution has not been filed with the Bermuda Monetary Authority), a successor general partner executes a transfer deed pursuant to which the new general partner assumes the rights and undertakes the obligations of the general partner, but only if the partnership receives an opinion of counsel that the admission of the new general partner will not result in the loss of limited liability of any limited partner.
		Upon the partnership’s dissolution, unless the partnership is continued as a new limited partnership, the liquidator authorized to wind-up the partnership’s affairs will, acting with all of the powers of the partnership’s general partner that the liquidator deems necessary or appropriate in its judgment, liquidate the partnership’s assets and apply the proceeds of the liquidation first, to discharge the partnership’s liabilities as provided in its limited partnership agreement and by law, and thereafter to the partners pro rata according to the percentages of their respective partnership interests as of a record date selected by the liquidator. The liquidator may defer liquidation of the partnership’s assets for a reasonable period of time or distribute assets to partners in kind if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the partners.

Fiduciary Duties	The directors of BBUC have three principal responsibilities under the BCBCA and the BBUC articles, being (i) the duty to manage, (ii) the fiduciary duty, which is to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of BBUC, and (iii) the duty of care, which is to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent individual would exercise in comparable circumstances.	A general partner is required to act in good faith and in a manner which it reasonably believes to be in the best interests of a partnership. The partnership’s limited partnership agreement contains various express provisions that modify, waive and/or limit the fiduciary duties that might otherwise be owed to the partnership and the limited partners. These modifications inter alia restrict the remedies available for actions that might otherwise constitute a breach of fiduciary duty and permit the general partner of the partnership to take into account the interests of third parties, including Brookfield, when resolving conflicts of interest.
Protection of Shareholders	Under the BCBCA, pursuant to the oppression remedy, any holder of exchangeable shares may apply to court for an order where the affairs of BBUC are being or have been conducted, or that the powers of the directors are being or have been exercised, in a manner that is oppressive to one or more shareholders, or where there has been some act of BBUC that is unfairly prejudicial to one or more of the shareholders. Under the BCBCA, pursuant to the derivative action remedy, a shareholder (including a beneficial shareholder) may bring an action in the name of and on behalf of BBUC to enforce a right, duty or obligation owed to BBUC that could be enforced by BBUC itself or to obtain damages for any such breach of right, duty or obligation.	There is no oppression remedy or derivative action remedy available under the Bermuda Limited Partnership Act 1883 and the Bermuda Exempted Partnerships Act 1992. Furthermore, the partnership’s limited partnership agreement also stipulates that unless otherwise determined by the general partner of the partnership, a Person (as defined in the partnership’s limited partnership agreement) shall not have pre-emptive, preferential or other similar rights in respect to the issuance of a unit.
Takeover Bids. Issuer Bids and Tender Offers	The exchangeable shares are not units and will not be treated as units for purposes of the application of applicable Canadian or U.S. rules relating to takeover bids, issuer bids and tender offers. As a result, holders of exchangeable shares will not be entitled to participate in an offer or bid made to acquire units unless such offer has been extended to holders of exchangeable shares.	The units are not exchangeable shares and will not be treated as exchangeable shares for purposes of the application of applicable Canadian or U.S. rules relating to takeover bids, issuer bids and tender offers. As a result, holders of units will not be entitled to participate in an offer or bid made to acquire the exchangeable shares unless such offer has been extended to holders of units.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDER

The table below sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of units by the selling securityholder as of September 30, 2021. Brookfield will enter into the rights agreement pursuant to which Brookfield will agree that, until the fifth anniversary of the distribution date, in the event that, on the applicable specified exchange date with respect to any subject exchangeable shares, (i) BBUC has not satisfied its obligations under the BBUC articles by delivering the unit amount or its cash equivalent amount and (ii) we have not, upon our election in our sole and absolute discretion, acquired such subject exchangeable share from the holder thereof and delivered the unit amount or the cash equivalent amount, Brookfield will satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations pursuant to the BBUC articles to exchange such subject exchangeable shares for the unit amount or its cash equivalent. If Brookfield satisfies the exchange obligation, it will acquire exchangeable shares.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, the statements concerning voting and dispositive power concerning the units included in the footnotes to this table shall not be construed as admissions that such persons are the beneficial owners of such units.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of material United States federal income tax considerations for holders relating to the exchange of exchangeable shares for units as described in this prospectus as of the date hereof. This summary is based on provisions of the Code, on the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations”), and on published administrative rulings, judicial decisions, and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary should be read in conjunction with the discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax considerations associated with the operations of the partnership and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of units set forth in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and Item 3.D “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Taxation” in the partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F. The following discussion is limited as described in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F and as described herein.

This summary is necessarily general and may not apply to all categories of investors, some of whom may be subject to special rules, including, without limitation, persons that own or will own (directly, indirectly or constructively, applying certain attribution rules) 5% or more of the units or (directly, indirectly or constructively, applying certain attribution rules) 10% or more of the equity interests (by vote or value) of BBUC, dealers in securities or currencies, financial institutions or financial services entities, mutual funds, life insurance companies, persons that hold exchangeable shares as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction with other investments, persons whose exchangeable shares are loaned to a short seller to cover a short sale of exchangeable shares, U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, persons who have elected mark-to-market accounting, persons who hold exchangeable shares through a partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons for whom the exchangeable shares are not a capital asset, persons who are liable for the alternative minimum tax, certain U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States, and persons who are subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code. This summary does not address the consequences to U.S. holders who receive distributions on exchangeable shares other than in U.S. dollars. The actual tax consequences of the exchange of exchangeable shares for units may vary, depending on a holder’s individual circumstances.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of exchangeable shares who is for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust (a) the primary supervision of which is subject to a court within the United States and all substantial decisions of which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of exchangeable shares, other than a U.S. holder or an entity classified as a partnership or other fiscally transparent entity for U.S. federal tax purposes.

If a partnership holds exchangeable shares, the tax treatment of a partner of such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships that hold exchangeable shares should consult their tax advisors.

This discussion does not constitute tax advice and is not intended to be a substitute for tax planning. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal, state and local income tax consequences particular to exchanging exchangeable shares for units, as well as any tax consequences under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Partnership Status of the Partnership and Holding LP

Each of the partnership and Holding LP has made a protective election to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes. An entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes generally incurs no U.S. federal income tax liability. Instead, each partner is generally required to take into account its

TABLE OF CONTENTS

allocable share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the partnership in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability, regardless of whether cash distributions are made. Distributions of cash by a partnership to a partner generally are not taxable unless the amount of cash distributed to a partner is in excess of the partner’s adjusted basis in its partnership interest.

An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may nonetheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a “publicly traded partnership,” unless an exception applies. The partnership is publicly traded. However, an exception, referred to as the “Qualifying Income Exception,” exists with respect to a publicly traded partnership if (i) at least 90% of such partnership’s gross income for every taxable year consists of “qualifying income” and (ii) the partnership would not be required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 if it were a U.S. corporation. Qualifying income includes certain interest income, dividends, real property rents, gains from the sale or other disposition of real property, and any gain from the sale or disposition of a capital asset or other property held for the production of income that otherwise constitutes qualifying income.

The general partner of the partnership intends to manage the affairs of the partnership and Holding LP so that the partnership will meet the Qualifying Income Exception in each taxable year. Accordingly, the general partner of the partnership believes that the partnership will be treated as a partnership and not as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The remainder of this summary assumes that the partnership and Holding LP will be treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Characterization of the Exchangeable Shares

The U.S. federal income tax consequences for holders relating to the exchange of exchangeable shares for units will depend, in part, on whether the exchangeable shares are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, treated as stock of BBUC and not as interests in the partnership. The general partner of the partnership intends to take the position and believes that the exchangeable shares are properly characterized as stock of BBUC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the treatment of the exchangeable shares as stock of BBUC is not free from doubt, as there is no direct authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of securities similar to the exchangeable shares. If the exchangeable shares are not treated as stock of BBUC and are instead treated as units, then a holder of exchangeable shares generally would be expected to be taxed in the same manner as a holder of units, in which case the exchange of exchangeable shares for units may qualify as a tax-free exchange. The remainder of this summary assumes that the exchangeable shares will be treated as stock of BBUC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Consequences to U.S. Holders

Exchange of Exchangeable Shares. Subject to the discussion below under the headings “— Exercise of the Partnership Call Right” and “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon an exchange at the request of the holder (other than an exchange that is treated as a distribution, as discussed below) of exchangeable shares for units equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the exchange and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the exchangeable shares so exchanged. The amount realized will equal the amount of cash, if any, plus the fair market value of the units received. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for the exchangeable shares exceeds one year at the time of the exchange. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be treated as U.S.-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders generally are taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences described in the preceding paragraph should also apply to a U.S. holder whose exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of units by Brookfield pursuant to the rights agreement. For the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder whose exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of units pursuant to the partnership’s exercise of the partnership call right, see the discussion below under the heading “— Exercise of the Partnership Call Right.” The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder whose exchange request is satisfied by the delivery of units by BBUC is described in the following paragraph.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An exchange of exchangeable shares satisfied by BBUC will result in the recognition of gain or loss by a U.S. holder, as described above, if the exchange is (i) in “complete redemption” of the U.S. holder’s equity interest in BBUC (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(3) of the Code), (ii) a “substantially disproportionate” redemption of stock (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(2) of the Code), or (iii) “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” (within the meaning of Section 302(b)(1) of the Code). In determining whether any of these tests has been met with respect to the exchange, each U.S. holder may be required to take into account not only the exchangeable shares and other equity interests in BBUC actually owned by the holder, but also other equity interests in BBUC that are constructively owned by the holder within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code. If a U.S. holder owns (actually or constructively) only an insubstantial percentage of the total equity interests in BBUC and exercises no control over BBUC’s corporate affairs, the holder may be entitled to sale or exchange treatment with respect to the exchange of exchangeable shares if the holder experiences a reduction in its equity interest in BBUC (taking into account any constructively owned equity interests) as a result of the exchange.

If a U.S. holder meets none of the alternative tests of Section 302(b) of the Code, the exchange will be treated as a distribution with respect to exchangeable shares. Subject to the discussion below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”, the gross amount of a distribution paid to a U.S. holder with respect to exchangeable shares (including any amounts withheld to pay Canadian withholding taxes) would be included in the holder’s gross income as a dividend to the extent paid out of BBUC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds BBUC’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, it would be treated first as a tax-free return of a U.S. holder’s tax basis in its exchangeable shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the U.S. holder’s tax basis, the excess would be taxed as capital gain. In the event that the exchange is properly treated as a distribution, the amount of the distribution will be equal to the amount of cash, if any, and the fair market value of the units received. Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders may be subject to tax at preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided certain conditions are met.

Because the determination as to whether any of the alternative tests of Section 302(b) of the Code is satisfied with respect to any particular U.S. holder that exchanges exchangeable shares for units will depend upon the facts and circumstances as of the time the determination is made, each U.S. holder should consult its tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of the exchange, including the calculation of the holder’s tax basis in any remaining exchangeable shares in the event of an exchange that is treated as a distribution.

Exercise of the Partnership Call Right. The partnership has the right to acquire exchangeable shares directly from a holder under certain circumstances in exchange for units or cash (the “partnership call right”). The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. holder of the exchange of exchangeable shares for units pursuant to the exercise of the partnership call right will depend in part on whether the exchange qualifies as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code. For the exchange to so qualify, the partnership (i) must be classified as a partnership and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) must not be treated as an investment company for purposes of Section 721(b) of the Code. With respect to the classification of the partnership as a partnership, see the discussion above under “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Partnership Status of the Partnership and Holding LP.”

Section 721(b) of the Code provides that Section 721(a) of the Code will not apply to gain realized on a transfer of property to a partnership which would be treated as an investment company (within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code) if the partnership were incorporated. Under Section 351 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, a transfer of property will be considered a transfer to an investment company only if (i) the transfer results, directly or indirectly, in “diversification” of the transferor’s interests, and (ii) the transferee is a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust, or a corporation more than 80% of the value of whose assets are held for investment and (subject to certain exclusions) are stock or securities, as defined in Section 351(e) of the Code. For purposes of this determination, the stock and securities of a corporate subsidiary are disregarded and the parent corporation is treated as owning its ratable share of the subsidiary’s assets if the parent corporation owns 50% or more of the subsidiary corporation’s stock by voting power or value. The Treasury Regulations also provide that whether an entity is an investment company ordinarily will be determined by reference to the circumstances in existence immediately after the transfer in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

question. However, where circumstances change thereafter pursuant to a plan in existence at the time of the transfer, this determination will be made by reference to the later circumstances.

Based on the holders’ rights in the event of the liquidation or dissolution of BBUC (or the partnership) and the terms of the exchangeable shares, which are intended to provide an economic return equivalent to the economic return on units (including identical distributions), and taking into account the expected relative values of the partnership’s assets and its ratable share of the assets of its subsidiaries for the foreseeable future, the general partner of the partnership currently does not expect a U.S. holder’s transfer of exchangeable shares in exchange for units pursuant to the partnership’s exercise of the partnership call right to be treated as a transfer of property to an investment company within the meaning of Section 721(b) of the Code. Thus, the general partner of the partnership currently expects such exchange to qualify as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code. However, no definitive determination can be made as to whether any such future exchange will qualify as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code, as this will depend on the facts and circumstances at the time of the exchange. Many of these facts and circumstances are not within the control of the partnership, and no assurance can be provided as to the position, if any, taken by the general partner of the partnership with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any such exchange. Nor can any assurance be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any future position taken by the partnership. If the partnership were an investment company immediately following the exchange of exchangeable shares for units pursuant to the exercise of the partnership call right, and such exchange were to result in diversification of interests with respect to a U.S. holder, then Section 721(a) of the Code would not apply with respect to the holder, and the holder would be treated as if the holder had sold in a taxable transaction the holder’s exchangeable shares to the partnership for cash in an amount equal to the value of the units received.

Even if a U.S. holder’s transfer of exchangeable shares in exchange for units pursuant to the partnership’s exercise of the partnership call right qualifies as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code, the U.S. holder will be subject to special rules that may result in the recognition of additional taxable gain or income. Under Section 704(c)(1) of the Code, if appreciated property is contributed to a partnership, the contributing partner must recognize any gain that was realized but not recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to the property at the time of the contribution (referred to as “built-in gain”) if the partnership sells such property (or otherwise transfers such property in a taxable exchange) at any time thereafter or distributes such property to another partner within seven years of the contribution in a transaction that does not otherwise result in the recognition of built-in gain by the partnership. If Section 704(c)(1) of the Code applies with respect to a U.S. holder, and the holder fails to disclose to the partnership its basis in exchangeable shares exchanged for units pursuant to the exercise of the partnership call right, then, solely for the purpose of allocating items of income, gain, loss, or deduction under Section 704(c) of the Code, the general partner of the partnership intends to use a reasonable method to estimate the holder’s basis in the exchangeable shares exchanged for units pursuant to the exercise of the partnership call right. To ensure compliance with Section 704(c) of the Code, such estimated basis could be lower than a U.S. holder’s actual basis in its exchangeable shares. As a result, the amount of gain reported by the partnership to the IRS with respect to the U.S. holder in connection with such subsequent transfers could be greater than the correct amount.

If Section 704(c)(1) does not apply as a result of any such subsequent transfers by the partnership or Holding LP of exchangeable shares transferred by a U.S. holder for units in an exchange qualifying as tax-free under Section 721(a) of the Code, then the U.S. holder could, nonetheless, be required to recognize part or all of the built-in gain in its exchangeable shares deferred as a result of such exchange under other provisions of the Code. Under Section 737 of the Code, the U.S. holder could be required to recognize built-in gain if the partnership were to distribute any property of the partnership other than money (or, in certain circumstances, exchangeable shares) to such former holder of exchangeable shares within seven years of exercise of the partnership call right. Under Section 707(a) of the Code, the U.S. holder could also be required to recognize built-in gain in certain circumstances. Section 707(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder create a presumption that any distributions of cash or other property made by a partnership to a partner that contributed property within two years of the distribution will be treated as a payment in consideration for the property otherwise treated as contributed to the partnership in exchange for a partnership interest, with certain limited exceptions, including an exception for “operating cash flow distributions.” For this purpose, an “operating cash flow distribution” is any distribution, including, but not limited to, a complete or partial redemption distribution, that does not exceed the product of the “net cash flow from operations” (as defined

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in the applicable Treasury Regulations) of the partnership for the year multiplied by the lesser of the partner’s percentage interest in overall partnership profits for that year or the partner’s percentage interest in overall partnership profits for the life of the partnership. If a distribution to a U.S. holder within two years of the transfer of exchangeable shares in exchange for units is treated as part of a deemed sale transaction under Section 707(a) of the Code, the U.S. holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of the property received and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the exchangeable shares deemed to have been sold. Such gain or loss will be recognized in the year of the transfer of exchangeable shares in exchange for units, and, if the U.S. holder has already filed a tax return for such year, the holder may be required to file an amended return. In such a case, the U.S. holder may also be required to report some amount of imputed interest income.

If Section 721(a) of the Code applies to a U.S. holder’s exchange of exchangeable shares for units pursuant to the exercise of the partnership call right by the partnership and none of the special provisions described in the two preceding paragraphs applies, then the U.S. holder generally should not recognize gain or loss with respect to exchangeable shares treated as contributed to the partnership in exchange for units, except as described below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.” The aggregate tax basis of the units received by the U.S. holder pursuant to the partnership call right would be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the exchangeable shares (or single undivided portion thereof) exchanged therefor, increased by the holder’s share of the partnership’s liabilities, if any. The holding period of the units received in exchange for exchangeable shares would include the holding period of the exchangeable shares surrendered in exchange therefor. A U.S. holder who acquired different blocks of exchangeable shares at different times or different prices should consult its tax advisor regarding the manner in which gain or loss should be determined in the holder’s particular circumstances and the holder’s holding period in units received in exchange for exchangeable shares.

For a general discussion of the tax consequences to a U.S. holder of owning and disposing of units received in exchange for exchangeable shares, see the discussion in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exchanging exchangeable shares for units are complex, and each U.S. holder should consult its tax advisor regarding such consequences in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations. Certain adverse tax consequences could apply to a U.S. holder if BBUC is treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year during which the U.S. holder holds exchangeable shares. A non-U.S. corporation, such as BBUC, will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income, and net foreign currency gains.

Based on its expected income, assets, and activities, BBUC does not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year, nor does it expect to become a PFIC in the foreseeable future. However, the determination of whether BBUC is or will be a PFIC must be made annually as of the close of each taxable year. Because PFIC status depends upon the composition of BBUC’s income and assets from time to time, there can be no assurance that BBUC will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year, or that the IRS or a court will agree with BBUC’s determination as to its PFIC status.

If BBUC were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held exchangeable shares, then gain recognized by the U.S. holder upon the sale or other taxable disposition of the exchangeable shares (such as gain from a taxable exchange of exchangeable shares for units) generally would be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for the exchangeable shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other taxable disposition and to any year before BBUC became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax on such amount. Further, to the extent that any distribution received by a U.S. holder on its exchangeable shares were to exceed 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the exchangeable shares received during the preceding three years or the U.S. holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, that distribution would be subject to taxation in the same manner as gain, described immediately above. Similar

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rules would apply with respect to any lower-tier PFICs treated as owned indirectly by a U.S. holder through the holder’s ownership of exchangeable shares.

Certain elections may be available to U.S. holders to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences resulting from PFIC treatment. If a U.S. holder were to elect to treat its interest in BBUC as a “qualified electing fund” (“QEF election”) for the first year the holder were treated as holding such interest, then in lieu of the tax consequences described in the paragraph immediately above, the U.S. holder would be required to include in income each year a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of BBUC, even if not distributed to the holder. A QEF election must be made by a U.S. holder on an entity-by-entity basis. To make a QEF election, a U.S. holder must, among other things, (i) obtain a PFIC annual information statement and (ii) prepare and submit IRS Form 8621 with the holder’s annual income tax return. To the extent reasonably practicable, BBUC intends to make available information related to the PFIC status of BBUC and any other subsidiary of BBUC that it is able to identify as a PFIC with respect to U.S. holders of exchangeable shares, including information necessary to make a QEF election with respect to each such entity.

In the case of a PFIC that is a publicly traded foreign company, and in lieu of making a QEF election, an election may be made to “mark to market” the stock of such publicly traded foreign company on an annual basis. Pursuant to such an election, a U.S. holder would include in each year as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such stock over its adjusted basis at the end of the taxable year. No assurance can be provided that BBUC or any of its subsidiaries will qualify as PFICs that are publicly traded or that a mark-to-market election will be available for any such entity.

Subject to certain exceptions, a U.S. person who directly or indirectly owns an interest in a PFIC generally is required to file an annual report with the IRS, and the failure to file such report could result in the imposition of penalties on such U.S. person and in the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to federal income tax returns filed by such U.S. person. The application of the PFIC rules to U.S. holders is uncertain in certain respects. The U.S. Treasury Department recently issued final and proposed Treasury Regulations modifying certain aspects of the income and asset tests described above. The proposed regulations will not be effective unless and until they are adopted in final form. Each U.S. holder should consult its tax advisor regarding the application of the PFIC rules, including the foregoing filing requirements and the recently issued final and proposed Treasury Regulations, as well as the advisability of making any available election under the PFIC rules, with respect to the holder’s ownership and disposition of exchangeable shares.

Additional Tax on Net Investment Income. Certain U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include all or a portion of their dividend income and net gains from the disposition of exchangeable shares. Each U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust should consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of this tax to its income and gains in respect of exchangeable shares.

Foreign Financial Asset Reporting. Certain U.S. holders are required to report information relating to an interest in the exchangeable shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions) by filing IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with their U.S. federal income tax returns. Significant penalties may apply for the failure to satisfy these reporting obligations. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of exchangeable shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Distributions on exchangeable shares made to a U.S. holder and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of exchangeable shares (including by reason of a taxable exchange of exchangeable shares for units) may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless the holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or, in the case of backup withholding, furnishes its taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with all applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and generally will be allowed as a refund or credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

The exchange of exchangeable shares for units by a non-U.S. holder generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Special rules may apply to any non-U.S. holder (i) that has an office or fixed place of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

business in the United States; (ii) that is present in the United States for 183 days or more in a taxable year; or (iii) that is (a) a former citizen or long-term resident of the United States, (b) a foreign insurance company that is treated as holding a partnership interest in the partnership in connection with its U.S. business, (c) a PFIC, (d) a controlled foreign corporation, or (e) a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these special rules.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. THE TAX MATTERS RELATING TO THE PARTNERSHIP, HOLDERS OF UNITS, BBUC, AND HOLDERS OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES ARE COMPLEX AND ARE SUBJECT TO VARYING INTERPRETATIONS. MOREOVER, THE EFFECT OF EXISTING INCOME TAX LAWS, THE MEANING AND IMPACT OF WHICH IS UNCERTAIN, AND OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN INCOME TAX LAWS WILL VARY WITH THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH HOLDER, AND IN REVIEWING THIS PROSPECTUS THESE MATTERS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES FOR UNITS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MATERIAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following describes the material Canadian federal income tax consequences with respect to the exchange of exchangeable shares for units as described in this prospectus as of the date hereof by a holder who, at all relevant times, is the beneficial owner of such exchangeable shares and, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”), (i) deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with BBUC and the partnership and (ii) holds the exchangeable shares as capital property (a “Holder”). Generally, the exchangeable shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not hold such shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is based upon the facts as set out in this prospectus, the current provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder, and the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”), and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, administrative or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary should be read in conjunction with the discussion of the material Canadian federal income tax considerations associated with the holding and disposition of units set forth in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and Item 3.D “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Taxation” in the partnership’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F. The following discussion is limited as described in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the partnership’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and as described herein.

This summary assumes that at all relevant times (i) the exchangeable shares will be listed on a “designated stock exchange” in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX), (ii) not more than 50% of the fair market value of an exchangeable share or a unit is attributable to one or more properties each of which is real property in Canada, a “Canadian resource property” or a “timber resource property”, and (iii) neither the partnership nor BBUC is a “tax shelter” or a “tax shelter investment”, each as defined in the Tax Act. In addition, BBUC expects that at all relevant times, all or substantially all of its property and the units of the partnership will not be “taxable Canadian property” as defined in the Tax Act. No assurance can be given in relation to the foregoing.

Following the Special Distribution, BBUC will qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” as defined in the Tax Act. BBUC intends to file the necessary election under the Tax Act so that it will be deemed to be a “public corporation” effective from the beginning of its first taxation year, and therefore can qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” throughout its first taxation year. To maintain its “mutual fund corporation” status, BBUC is required to comply with specific restrictions under the Tax Act regarding its activities and the investments held by it. BBUC intends to continue to qualify as a “mutual fund corporation” throughout each taxation year in which exchangeable shares are outstanding and this summary assumes that will be the case. If BBUC was to cease to qualify as a “mutual fund corporation”, material adverse tax consequences to it and the holders may arise.

This summary also relies as to certain matters on an officer’s certificate of BBUC.

This summary is not applicable to a holder: (i) an interest in which would be a “tax shelter investment” or who holds or acquires exchangeable shares or units as a “tax shelter investment”, (ii) that is a “financial institution” for purposes of the “mark-to-market property” rules, (iii) that reports its “Canadian tax results” in a currency other than Canadian currency, (iv) that has entered or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement” in respect of the exchangeable shares or the units, each as defined in the Tax Act or (v) that is a corporation resident in Canada and is, or becomes (or does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation that is or becomes) as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that includes the acquisition of the exchangeable shares, controlled by a non-resident person or a group of non-resident persons not dealing with each other at arm’s length for purposes of section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Furthermore, this summary is not applicable to a holder that is a “controlling corporation” of BBUC (for purposes of subsection 191(1) of the Tax Act), a person with whom the controlling corporation does not deal at arm’s length or a partnership or trust of which the controlling corporation or person with whom the controlling corporation does not deal at arm’s length is a member or beneficiary for purposes of the Tax Act. Such holders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder, and no representation concerning the tax consequences to any particular Holder or prospective Holder are made. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, prospective Holders should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their particular circumstances.

Generally, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the disposition of exchangeable shares (including on an exchange for units at the request of a Holder) must be expressed in Canadian currency. Amounts denominated in another currency must be converted into Canadian currency using the applicable rate of exchange (pursuant to the Tax Act) quoted by the Bank of Canada on the date such amounts arose, or such other rate of exchange as is acceptable to the CRA.

Taxation of Holders Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, is resident or deemed to be resident in Canada under the Tax Act (a “Resident Holder”). Certain Resident Holders may be entitled to make, or may have already made, the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act the effect of which may be to deem any exchangeable shares (and all other “Canadian securities”, as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder to be capital property in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years. Resident Holders whose exchangeable shares might not otherwise be considered to be capital property should consult their own tax advisors concerning this election.

Exchange of Exchangeable Shares. A Resident Holder who disposes of, or who is deemed to dispose of, exchangeable shares (including on an exchange for units at the request of the Resident Holder) will realize a capital gain (or sustain a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of such shares and any reasonable costs of disposition.

In general, one-half of a capital gain realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be included in income as a taxable capital gain. One-half of a capital loss realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year generally must be deducted as an “allowable capital loss” against taxable capital gains realized in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of exchangeable shares may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received or deemed to be received by the Resident Holder on such exchangeable shares to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where exchangeable shares are owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, partnership or trust is a member or beneficiary. Such Resident Holders should consult their own advisors.

A taxable capital gain realized by a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain trusts) may give rise to a liability for alternative minimum tax.

The cost of a unit to a Resident Holder received on the exchange of an exchangeable share will equal the fair market value of the exchangeable share for which it was exchanged at the time of the exchange. The

TABLE OF CONTENTS

adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of the units at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such units with the adjusted cost base of any other units owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at the time.

For a description of the Canadian federal income tax considerations of holding and disposing of units, see the discussion in Item 10.E “Taxation — Certain Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Additional Refundable Tax. A Resident Holder that is throughout its taxation year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) will be liable to pay an additional refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income”, which includes an amount in respect of net taxable capital gains.

Taxation of Holders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold the exchangeable shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

Exchange of Exchangeable Shares. A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on a disposition or deemed disposition of exchangeable shares (including on an exchange for units at the request of the Non-Resident Holder) unless the exchangeable shares are “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the disposition or deemed disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.

Generally, the exchangeable shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” of a Non-Resident Holder at a particular time provided that BBUC is a mutual fund corporation unless, at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time, both of the following conditions are met concurrently: (a) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of BBUC were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act, and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the exchangeable shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of (b)(i) to (iii), whether or not the property exists. A holder of exchangeable shares that also holds one or more units will generally meet the condition in (a) above; however, BBUC does not expect that the condition in (b) will be met.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, the exchangeable shares may be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property.” Non-Resident Holders for whom exchangeable shares may constitute “taxable Canadian property” should consult their own tax advisors.

The cost of a unit to a Non-Resident Holder received on the exchange of an exchangeable share will equal the fair market value of the exchangeable share for which it was exchanged at the time of the exchange. The adjusted cost base to a Non-Resident Holder of units at any time will be determined by averaging the cost of such units with the adjusted cost base of any other units owned by the Non-Resident Holder as capital property at the time.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The partnership is organized under the laws of Bermuda. A substantial portion of the partnership’s assets may be located outside of Canada and the United States and certain of its directors, as well as certain of the experts named in this prospectus, may be residents of jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States. The partnership has expressly submitted to the jurisdiction of Ontario courts and has appointed an attorney for service of process in Ontario and in the United States. However, it may be difficult for investors to effect service within Ontario or elsewhere in Canada or the United States upon those directors and experts who are not residents of Canada or the United States, as applicable. Investors are advised that it may also not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada or the United States against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada or the United States, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process. Furthermore, it may be difficult to realize upon or enforce in Canada or the United States any judgment of a court of Canada or the United States against the partnership, the directors of the partnership’s general partner or the experts named in this prospectus since a substantial portion of the partnership’s assets and the assets of such persons may be located outside of Canada and the United States.

The partnership has been advised by counsel that there is no treaty in force between Canada and Bermuda or the United States and Bermuda providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. As a result, whether a Canadian or U.S. judgment would be capable of being the subject of enforcement proceedings in Bermuda against the partnership, the partnership’s directors or the experts named in this prospectus depends on whether the Canadian or U.S. court that entered the judgment is recognized by a Bermuda court as having jurisdiction over the partnership, the directors of the partnership’s

general partner or the experts named in this prospectus, as determined by reference to Bermuda conflict of law rules. The courts of Bermuda would likely recognize as a valid, final and conclusive judgment in personam in respect of a judgment obtained in a Canadian or U.S. court pursuant to which a debt or definitive sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) as long as (i) the Canadian or U.S. court had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to the Canadian or U.S. judgment according to Bermuda’s conflicts of law principles and had jurisdiction to give the judgment as a matter of Bermuda law; (ii) the Canadian or U.S. court did not contravene the rules of natural justice of Bermuda; (iii) the Canadian or U.S. judgment was not obtained by fraud; (iv) the enforcement of the Canadian or U.S. judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of Bermuda; and (v) the Canadian or U.S. judgment (being a foreign judgment) does not conflict with a prior Bermuda judgment.

In addition to and irrespective of jurisdictional issues, Bermuda courts will not enforce a provision of Canadian or U.S. federal securities laws that is either penal in nature or contrary to public policy. It is the advice of the partnership’s Bermuda counsel that an action brought pursuant to a public or penal law, the purpose of which is the enforcement of a sanction, power or right at the instance of the state in its sovereign capacity, is unlikely to be entertained by Bermuda. Specified remedies available under the laws of Canadian or U.S. jurisdictions, including specified remedies under Canadian securities laws or U.S. federal securities laws, would not likely be available under Bermuda law or enforceable in a Bermuda court, as, among other reasons, they may be contrary to Bermuda public policy. Further, no claim may be brought in Bermuda against the partnership, the directors of the partnership’s general partner or the experts named in this prospectus in the first instance for a violation of Canadian securities laws or U.S. federal securities laws because these laws have no extraterritorial application under Bermuda law and do not have force of law in Bermuda.

Item 10. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

Provided, however, that:

Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by or on behalf of the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference herein.

(5) That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this Registration Statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to

II-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in this Registration Statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of this Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of this Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of this Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; and

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of an annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) by or on behalf of the Registrant that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, such Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(i) BBU (a) declares or pays a distribution on its outstanding BBU Units wholly or partly in BBU Units; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding BBU Units or (c) effects a reverse unit split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding BBU Units into a smaller number of BBU Units, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of BBU Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (assuming for such purpose that such distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of BBU Units (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

- 5 -

Any adjustment under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the BBU GP determines not to pay such distribution, to the Conversion Factor that would be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(ii) BBU distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of BBU Units to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire BBU Units (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for BBU Units) (each a “BBU Distributed Right”), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such BBU Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such BBU Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of BBU Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such BBU Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of BBU Units deliverable or purchasable under such BBU Distributed Rights and (B) the denominator of which shall be (x) the number of BBU Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date plus (y) such number of BBU Units determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such BBU Distributed Rights of the maximum number of BBU Units purchasable under such BBU Distributed Rights by the average of the BBU Unit Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such BBU Distributed Rights become exercisable); provided, however, that, if any such BBU Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the BBU Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of BBU Units or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

Any adjustment under this clause (ii) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such issuance (or, if later, the date such rights, options or warrants become exercisable). To the extent that the BBU Units are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of BBU Units actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BBU GP determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

- 6 -

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such BBU Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by BBU for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the BBU GP.

(iii) (A) BBU distributes to all or substantially all holders of BBU Units evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding distributions paid exclusively in cash, distributions referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) above or any Spin-off referred to in clause (iii)(B) below) or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities (but excluding distributions referred to in clause (ii) above), the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the BBU Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BBU Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution less the fair market value on the Record Date for such distribution (as determined by the BBU GP) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants so distributed applicable to one BBU Unit.

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(A) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BBU GP determines not to pay or make such distribution, to be the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined by the BBU GP) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants distributable to one BBU Unit is equal to or greater than the average BBU Unit Value referenced above in this clause (iii)(A), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Class A Shareholder shall receive from the Company, in respect of each Class A Share, a distribution of cash payable out of the funds legally available therefor (at the same time as holders of the BBU Units), that in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with the amount of BBU indebtedness or assets or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of BBU Units equal to the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Record Date.

- 7 -

(B) Where there has been a Spin-off, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the share capital or similar equity interest applicable to one BBU Unit distributed to BBU Unit holders over the Valuation Period plus the average of the BBU Unit Value over the Valuation Period and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BBU Unit Value over the Valuation Period; provided that, the Company may elect to pay cash in lieu of making an adjustment to the Conversion Factor provided by this clause (iii)(B), in which case the Company shall be required to pay to the Class A Shareholders and the Class A Shareholders shall be entitled to receive, cash on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period in an amount in respect of each Class A Share held, calculated by multiplying the BBU Unit Value on the Record Date of such Spin-off by the amount the Conversion Factor would have increased as a result of such Spin-off if no such cash payment was made.

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(B) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Class A Shareholder during the Valuation Period, references contained in the definition of Valuation Period to “ten (10) consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed for the purposes of the foregoing for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Record Date of such Spin-off and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Conversion Factor. If any such Spin-off does not occur, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BBU GP determines not to proceed with the Spin-off, to be the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Spin-off had not been pursued.

(iv) BBU or one of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the BBU Units (but excluding for all purposes any tender or exchange offer involving an offer to exchange BBU Units for Class A Shares or any other security that is economically equivalent to BBU Units), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per BBU Unit exceeds the average of the BBU Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be (x) the sum of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the BBU GP) paid or payable in respect of BBU Units in such tender or exchange offer plus (y) the average of the BBU Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date multiplied by the number of BBU Units issued and outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all BBU Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer, without duplication), and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of BBU Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (before giving effect to the purchase of all BBU Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer) multiplied by the average of the BBU Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

For greater certainty, no adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made for any normal course issuer bid or similar stock buyback. Any adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and shall be given effect as of the Open of Business on the day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Class A Shareholder during the Valuation Period, references above to “ten (10) consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Expiration Date and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Conversion Factor.

(v) the Company (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding Class A Shares or (c) effects a reverse share split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding Class A Shares into a smaller number of Class A Shares, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (determined without the assumption for such purpose that such dividend, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A Shares (assuming the above assumption has occurred) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

- 9 -

Any adjustment under this clause (v) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such dividend of the type described in this clause (v) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the board of directors determines not to pay such dividend, to the Conversion Factor that would be in effect if such dividend had not been declared.

(vi) the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire Class A Shares (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Class A Shares) at a price per share that is less than the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (each a “Class A Distributed Right”), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such Class A Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus (y) such number of Class A Shares determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights of the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights by the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights; provided, however, that, if any such Class A Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the Class A Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Class A Shares or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

- 10 -

Any adjustment under this clause (vi) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) for such issuance. To the extent that the Class A Shares are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Factor shall be increased to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Class A Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Factor shall be increased, effective as of the date the board of directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the board of directors.

Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall be calculated up to four (4) decimal places. Within ten (10) Business Days of the effectiveness of any adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Factor, the Company shall make a public announcement of such adjustment or readjustment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Factor shall not be adjusted in connection with (a) an event described in clauses (i) through (iv) above (other than clause (iii)(B) above) if, in connection with such event, the Company makes a distribution of cash, Class A Shares, BBU Units and/or rights, options or warrants to acquire Class A Shares and/or BBU Units with respect to all applicable Class A Shares, splits or subdivides the Class A Shares, distributes to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets or effects a reverse split of, or otherwise combines or makes an offer for, the Class A Shares, as applicable, that, in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with such event, (b) a Spin-off as described in clause (iii)(B) above if the Company makes a distribution of the share capital or similar equity interests distributed to BBU Unit holders in the Spin-off in an amount and on terms that are comparable in all material respects to such Spin-off, or (c) an event described in clauses (v) through (vi) above if, in connection with such event, BBU makes a distribution of cash, Class A Shares, BBU Units and/or rights, options or warrants to acquire Class A Shares and/or BBU Units with respect to all BBU Units, splits or subdivides the BBU Units or effects a reverse split of, or otherwise combines or makes an offer for, the BBU Units, as applicable, that, in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with such event;

Voting at Meetings

17.2 Questions arising at any meeting of directors are to be decided by a majority of votes and, in the case of an equality of votes, the chair of the meeting does not have a second or casting vote.

Chair of Meetings

17.3 The following individual is entitled to preside as chair at a meeting of directors:

(a) the chair of the board, if any;

(b) in the absence of the chair of the board, the president, if any, if the president is a director; or

(b) by telephone or by other communications medium if all directors participating in the meeting, whether in person or by telephone or other communications medium, are able to communicate with each other.

A consent in writing under this §17.13 may be by signed document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded messages. Any electronic signature on a consent, whether digital or encrypted, shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as a manual signature. A consent in writing may be in two or more counterparts which together are deemed to constitute one consent in writing. A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the directors passed in accordance with this §17.13 is effective on the date stated in the consent in writing or on the latest date stated on any counterpart and is deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of directors or of the committee of the directors and to be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of the committee of the directors that satisfies all the requirements of the Act and all the requirements of these Articles relating to meetings of the directors or of a committee of the directors.

- 60 -

Satisfaction of Exchange Rights

26.13 Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a Notice of Exchange and such additional documents and instruments as the Company or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, and provided that BBU has not exercised the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, the Company will redeem the applicable Tendered Class A Shares on or prior to the Specified Exchange Date. The Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Tendering Class A Shareholder, at the address of the holder recorded in the register of the Company for the Class A Shares or at the address specified in the holder’s Notice of Exchange, either (i) the BBU Units Amount, or (ii) the Cash Amount, as the Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Tendered Class A Share ((i) or (ii), plus such Unpaid Dividends collectively being the “Exchange Consideration”) and such delivery of such Exchange Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent will be deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the Exchange Rights so exercised. Should the Company elect to satisfy Exchange Rights by delivering the Cash Amount, then the payment of such amount shall be made in the manner set forth in §26.4.

26.14 Any Tendering Class A Shareholder shall have no further right, with respect to any Tendered Class A Shares redeemed, repurchased or exchanged, to receive any dividends on Class A Shares with a Record Date on or after the date on which the Transfer Agent receives such Notice of Exchange. Each Tendering Class A Shareholder shall continue to own each Class A Share subject to any Notice of Exchange, and be treated as a Class A Shareholder with respect to each such Class A Share for all other purposes of these Articles, until such Class A Share has been redeemed in accordance with §26.13 or repurchased or exchanged in accordance with the Rights Agreement, as applicable, for the Secondary Exchange Amount in accordance with §26.16. A Tendering Class A Shareholder shall have no rights as a unitholder of BBU with respect to any BBU Units to be received by such Tendering Class A Shareholder in exchange for Tendered Class A Shares pursuant to §26.11 until the Transfer Agent has issued such BBU Units to such Tendering Class A Shareholder.

26.15 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company will not be obligated to redeem Tendered Class A Shares to the extent that such redemption would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable Law. If the Company believes that it would not be permitted by any such requirements or other provisions to redeem the Tendered Class A Shares, and BBU has not exercised its Exchange-Redemption Call Right with respect to the Tendered Class A Shares, the Company will only be obligated to redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A Shares (rounded down to a whole number of Class A Shares) that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions. The Company will notify any such Tendering Class A Shareholder at least one Business Day prior to the Specified Exchange Date as to the number of Tendered Class A Shares that will be redeemed by the Company. Where there is more than one Tendering Class A Shareholder, the Company will redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A Shares that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions among such Tendering Class A Shareholders on a pro rata basis.

Secondary Exchange Rights

26.16 For so long as the Rights Agreement has not been terminated, if a Tendering Class A Shareholder has not received the Exchange Consideration with respect to any Tendered Class A Shares by the Close of Business on the applicable Specified Exchange Date for any reason, then, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Rights Agreement, which the Class A Shareholders shall have a right to enforce, such Tendering Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to receive from BAM the Secondary Exchange Amount with respect to each such Tendered Class A Share no later than the applicable Secondary Exchange Date (the “Secondary Exchange Right”). The Company shall send to BAM and to the Rights Agent on the applicable Specified Exchange Date a notice to the effect that the Tendering Class A Shareholder has not received the Exchange Consideration and such notice will set forth the identity of the Tendering Class A Shareholder, the number of Tendered Class A Shares, the amounts of such Exchange Consideration then not paid and will be otherwise consistent with the definition of “Company Notice” in the Rights Agreement.

No Fractional BBU Units

26.17 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fractional BBU Units shall be issued in connection with the satisfaction of Exchange Rights, in connection with a redemption of a Class A Share or in connection with a Liquidation Event.

In lieu of any fractional BBU Units to which the Tendering Class A Shareholder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Rights Agent shall pay a cash amount as determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement.

Withholding Taxes

26.18 Each Tendering Class A Shareholder shall be required to pay to the Company the amount of any tax withholding due upon the redemption of Tendered Class A Shares pursuant to §26.11 to §26.13 and will be deemed to have authorized the Company to retain such portion of the Exchange Consideration as the Company reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. Before making any withholding pursuant to this §26.18, the Company shall give each Tendering Class A Shareholder within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Exchange from such Tendering Class A Shareholder, notice of the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of any anticipated tax withholding (together with the legal basis therefor) due upon the redemption of the Tendered Class A Shares subject to such Notice of Exchange, provide the Tendering Class A Shareholder with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid or reduce such tax withholding, and reasonably cooperate with the Tendering Class A Shareholder in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be withheld pursuant to this §26.18; provided that any determination with respect to the tax withholding shall be made by the Company, BBU or an affiliate of BBU, as applicable, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith.

BBU Liquidation Call Right

26.28 Notwithstanding §26.25, BBU will have the overriding right (the “Liquidation Call Right”), in the event of and notwithstanding the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, to purchase from, or cause its affiliate to purchase from, all but not less than all of the Class A Shareholders on the Liquidation Date all but not less than all of the Class A Shares held by each such holder in exchange for the issuance by BBU of such number of BBU Units per Class A Share equal to the Conversion Factor in effect on the Liquidation Reference Date (and together with a cash amount for each Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share, the “Liquidation Call Consideration”).

EXHIBIT B:

IMPORTANT U.S. TAX INFORMATION FOR U.S. SHAREHOLDERS

The following does not constitute a summary of the tax consequences of having the Company redeem the Tendered Class A Shares. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of having the Company redeem the Tendered Class A Shares.

For purposes of this Notice of Exchange, a U.S. person is a beneficial owner of Class A Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation, partnership, or other entity classified as a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of such income, or (d) a trust if (i) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust, or (ii) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

To avoid backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on the redemption of Tendered Class A Shares, a U.S. Shareholder that is a U.S. person must, unless an exemption applies, provide the Transfer Agent with such holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) (which, in the case of an individual, generally is the individual’s social security number) or employer identification number (EIN), certify under penalties of perjury that such TIN or EIN is correct, and provide certain other certifications by completing the IRS Form W-9 included in this Notice of Exchange. If a U.S. Shareholder does not provide his, her, or its correct TIN or EIN or fails to provide the required certifications, the IRS may impose certain penalties on such holder, and payments to such holder upon the redemption of Tendered Class A Shares may be subject to backup withholding at a rate currently equal to 24%. All U.S. Shareholders that are U.S. persons submitting this Notice of Exchange should complete and sign the IRS Form W-9 to provide the information and certifications necessary to avoid backup withholding (unless an applicable exemption exists and is proved in a manner satisfactory to the Transfer Agent). To the extent that a U.S. Shareholder designates another U.S. person to receive payment, such other person may be required to provide a properly completed IRS Form W-9.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of backup withholding may be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to backup withholding. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained by the U.S. Shareholder by timely providing the required information to the IRS.

If the Transfer Agent has not been provided with a properly certified TIN or EIN by the time of payment, backup withholding will apply. If the Tendered Class A Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions on the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for guidance on which name and TIN or EIN to report.

Certain U.S. Shareholders (such as corporations and individual retirement accounts) are not subject to backup withholding but may be required to provide evidence of their exemption from backup withholding. Exempt U.S. Shareholders should enter the appropriate exempt payee code on IRS Form W-9. See the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for instructions.

A U.S. Shareholder that is not a U.S. person and is not acting on behalf of a U.S. person should not complete IRS Form W-9. Instead, to establish an exemption from backup withholding, such U.S. Shareholder should properly complete and submit an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, W-8ECI, or W-8EXP, as applicable, attesting to such exempt status. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Transfer Agent or on the IRS website (www.irs.gov).

ALL U.S. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE HOW THE FOREGOING BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO THEM WITH REGARD TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

21-21593-2_PROJECT ULTIMA NOTICE OF EXCHANGE_PAGE002.JPG

By signing the filled-out form, you: Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information. Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9. Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are: An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; An estate (other than a foreign estate); or A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7). Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income. In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States. In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity; In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. The treaty article addressing the income. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233. Backup Withholding What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return. Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if: You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details), The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN, The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only). Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information. Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier. What is FATCA Reporting? The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information. Updating Your Information You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies. Penalties Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

21-21593-2_PROJECT ULTIMA NOTICE OF EXCHANGE_PAGE003.JPG

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment. Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Specific Instructions Line 1 You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

Enter the owner's name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes.

(ii) In the event that, in connection with any Subject Class A Share, (i) the Company has not satisfied its obligation under sections 26.11 and 26.13 of the Company’s Articles by delivering the BBU Units Amount or Cash Amount on the applicable Specified Exchange Date and (ii) BBU has not, upon its election in its sole and absolute discretion, acquired such Subject Class A Share from the Exchanging Class A Shareholder and delivered the BBU Units Amount or Cash Amount in exchange therefor pursuant to section 26.23 of the Company’s Articles on the applicable Specified Exchange Date, the Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall have the right to deliver, or cause to be delivered, an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice to the Rights Agent and BAM, which Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice shall set forth the number of such Subject Class A Shares and any wire transfer or other delivery instructions necessary to permit the Rights Agent to transfer the BBU Units Amount or the Cash Amount to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder and be in a format that is acceptable to the Rights Agent (determined by the Rights Agent acting reasonably and in good faith). As promptly as practicable and in any event on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the date of such Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, BAM shall provide written notice to the Rights Agent, which notice shall (i) set forth the BBU Units Amount and the Cash Amount for such Subject Class A Shares subject to such Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice and (ii) either (A) provide that BAM has elected, in BAM’s sole discretion, to fund the Cash Amount pursuant to Section 4(b) below with respect to such Subject Class A Shares, or (B) instruct the Rights Agent to exchange (in accordance with Section 4(c), and 4(e) below) each Subject Class A Share in accordance with this Section 4(a)(ii), it being understood that BAM shall not be obligated to deliver such notice to the Rights Agent if it has determined in good faith that the conditions to the exercise of the Secondary Exchange Right set forth in Section 4(a) have not been satisfied. Upon receipt of an instruction by BAM pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of the immediately preceding sentence and receipt of an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice and the Subject Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c), the Rights Agent shall exchange such Subject Class A Shares for a number of BBU Units held in the Collateral Account equal to the BBU Units Amount for such Subject Class A Shares set forth in such BAM instructions and, on or prior to the second Business Day following receipt of such instruction from BAM and receipt of an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, and the Subject Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c), deliver such BBU Units from the Collateral Account to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder; provided that if there shall not be enough BBU Units in the Collateral Account to satisfy the BBU Units Amount with respect to one of more of such Subject Class A Shares, the Rights Agent shall exchange each such Subject Class A Share for an amount of cash from the Collateral Account equal to the Cash Amount for such Subject Class A Share and, on or prior to the second Business Day following receipt of such instruction from BAM and receipt of an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, and the Subject Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c), deliver the Cash Amount to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder. The Rights Agent shall not take any action under this Section 4(a)(ii) or otherwise upon receipt of an Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice unless BAM has instructed the Rights Agent to exchange any Subject Class A Share for a number of BBU Units or the Cash Amount, as applicable, as set forth in this Section 4(a)(ii).

(b) With respect to any Company Notice or Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, BAM shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect that the Rights Agent exchange the Subject Class A Shares for the Cash Amount for each Subject Class A Share by providing written notice of such election to the Rights Agent on or prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately following the date the Rights Agent received the Company Notice or Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, as applicable, in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) and Section 4(a)(ii), as applicable. In the event that BAM shall make the election described in the immediately preceding sentence and there shall not be an amount of cash in the Collateral Account sufficient to exchange any such Subject Class A Share for the Cash Amount, BAM shall deposit an amount of cash into the Collateral Account equal to the Cash Amount with respect to each such Subject Class A Share simultaneously with the delivery of the written notice set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that BAM shall elect that the Rights Agent exchange the Subject Class A Shares for the Cash Amount pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Rights Agent shall deliver the Cash Amount for each Subject Class A Share from the Collateral Account to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder on or before the second Business Day following receipt of the written notice of such election from BAM and receipt of an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice (only if applicable per Section 4(a)(ii)) and the Subject Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c).

(c) BAM shall establish a non-interest bearing trust account in the name of BAM that will be administered by the Rights Agent for purposes of receiving any Subject Class A Shares exchanged pursuant to this Agreement (the “Received Class A Share Account”). Such Received Class A Share Account information is as set forth in Exhibits D-1 and D-2. Any Class A Shares received by the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) shall be delivered to the Received Class A Share Account. Any Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account shall be transferable to BAM or, at BAM’s direction, an Affiliate of BAM which was the beneficial owner of the BBU Units transferred to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder, pursuant to delivery instructions provided by BAM to the Rights Agent (which may be standing written instructions), and shall not be delivered into the Collateral Account, and thereafter BAM or such Affiliate, as applicable, shall be the beneficial owner of such Class A Shares with all rights, powers, privileges and preferences appurtenant thereto, including, without limitation, the Exchange Right. Delivery to BAM or such Affiliate pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall be accomplished by the Rights Agent instructing the transfer agent for the Class A Shares to record the transfer of the Class A Shares from the Received Class A Shares Account to, and the ownership thereof by, BAM or such Affiliate in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. The Rights Agent shall provide BAM with online access to view the Received Class A Share Account, which online interface shall be kept reasonably up-to-date by the Rights Agent.

- 10 -

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, BAM shall be entitled to cause any of its Affiliates to take any action required to satisfy BAM’s obligations with respect to the Secondary Exchange Rights or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement; provided that nothing other than full and complete payment and performance of such obligations shall relieve BAM of such obligations.

(e) In connection with an Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s exercise of the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to any Subject Class A Shares held through DTC or another Depositary, such Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall deliver to the Rights Agent such Subject Class A Shares to the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to DTC’s or such other Depositary’s Applicable Procedures. In addition, such Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall deliver to the Rights Agent via email or other appropriate method of communication on the Business Day prior to the delivery of such Subject Class A Shares, a copy of such Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice; provided that the Rights Agent’s obligations pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) shall not be affected by such Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s failure to so deliver a copy of such Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice if such Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice is received by the Rights Agent within two Business Days of the date that the Rights Agent receives such Subject Class A Shares pursuant to DTC’s or another Depositary’s Applicable Procedures. In connection with any transfer by an Exchanging Class A Shareholder of any Subject Class A Shares required by this Agreement which are not held through DTC or another Depositary, such Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall take all necessary action to cause such Subject Class A Shares to be delivered to the Received Class A Share Account.

Section 5. Exercise of Rights.

The Rights Agent shall cause the BBU Units Amount delivered to any Exchanging Class A Shareholder pursuant to Section 4(a) to be delivered to or upon the order of the Exchanging Class A Shareholder, registered in such name or names as such Exchanging Class A Shareholder held such Subject Class A Shares (all as set forth in the Company Notice or the Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, as applicable).

Section 6. Confirmation Procedures.

(a) If the BBU Units Amount or the Cash Amount to be delivered pursuant to Section 4 above is to be delivered in a name other than that in which the Subject Class A Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the BBU Units Amount or the Cash Amount may be delivered to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Subject Class A Shares so surrendered are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Subject Class A Shares are properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such delivery has paid to BAM (or any agent designated by BAM) any transfer taxes reasonably expected to be required by reason of the payment of the BBU Units Amount or the Cash Amount to a Person other than the registered holder of such Subject Class A Shares, or established to the reasonable satisfaction of BAM (or any agent designated by BAM) that such transfer taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable. Upon satisfaction of the condition in the immediately preceding sentence, BAM shall instruct the Rights Agent in writing to deliver such BBU Units Amount or Cash Amount to such other Person. Unless the Rights Agent has received such written instruction from BAM pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence prior to the delivery by the Rights Agent of the BBU Units Amount or Cash Amount with respect to such Subject Class A Shares, the Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation under this Section 6(a) and shall deliver or cause to be delivered the BBU Units Amount or Cash Amount to the party designated in the Company Notice without further inquiry.

- 11 -

(b) All Subject Class A Shares shall be delivered to the Received Class A Share Account free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever, and should any such liens, claims and encumbrances exist or arise with respect to such Subject Class A Shares, the Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall not be entitled to exercise its Secondary Exchange Rights with respect to such Subject Class A Shares. Each Exchanging Class A Shareholder will pay to BAM the amount of any tax withholding due upon the exchange of Subject Class A Shares pursuant to this Agreement and, in the event BAM elects to acquire some or all of the Subject Class A Shares from the Exchanging Class A Shareholder in exchange for the Cash Amount in accordance with Section 4(b), will authorize BAM to retain such portion of the Cash Amount as BAM reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. In the event BAM elects to acquire some or all of the Subject Class A Shares from the Exchanging Class A Shareholder in exchange for the BBU Units Amount, BAM may elect to either satisfy the amount of any tax withholding due upon the exchange of Subject Class A Shares by retaining BBU Units with a fair market value, as reasonably determined by BAM in good faith, equal to the amount of such obligation, or satisfy such tax withholding obligation using amounts paid by BAM, which amounts shall be treated as a loan by BAM to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder, in each case, unless the Exchanging Class A Shareholder, at the Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s election, has paid or has made arrangements satisfactory to BAM, in its sole discretion, to pay, the amount of any such tax withholding. BAM shall notify the Exchanging Class A Shareholder within one Business Day following the date of the Company Notice or the Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, as applicable, of BAM’s good faith estimate of the amount of any tax withholding due upon the exchange of the Subject Class A Shares subject to such Company Notice or the Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, provide the Exchanging Class A Shareholder with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid or reduce such withholding, and reasonably cooperate with the Exchanging Class A Shareholder in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be withheld pursuant to this Section 6(b); provided that any determination with respect to the withholding shall be made by BAM, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(b), in no event shall an Exchanging Class A Shareholder be subject to withholding both under section 26.18 of the Company’s Articles and under this Section 6(b), and any amounts paid or withheld with respect to a Subject Class A Share pursuant to section 26.18 of the Company’s Articles shall be credited against and deemed to satisfy the Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s withholding obligation pursuant to this Section 6(b).

- 12 -

Section 7. BBU Units Record Date.

Each former Exchanging Class A Shareholder who receives the BBU Units Amount upon the exercise of the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to any Subject Class A Share pursuant to this Agreement shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the owner of the BBU Units representing the BBU Units Amount for which the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to such Subject Class A Share is exercisable as of the date upon which such Class A Shareholder’s Subject Class A Share is duly surrendered in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to such Class A Shareholder’s surrender of such Subject Class A Share in accordance with this Agreement, the Class A Shareholder shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of such BBU Units for which the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to such Subject Class A Share shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of BBU with respect to such BBU Units. For the avoidance of doubt, any Class A Shareholder who receives the Cash Amount in satisfaction of the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to any Class A Share pursuant to this Agreement shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of BBU Units at any time with respect to the BBU Units for which the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to such Subject Class A Share was exercisable prior to the receipt of such Cash Amount.

Section 8. Collateral Account.

(a) BAM or one or more Affiliates of BAM shall establish one or more non-interest bearing trust accounts in the name of BAM or such Affiliates that will be administered by the Rights Agent (together, the “Collateral Account”). The Rights Agent shall requisition the BBU Units Amount or the Cash Amount, as applicable, without any further action or approval from BAM, for payment to any Class A Shareholder in accordance with Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. BAM shall be responsible for ensuring that the Collateral Account Balance shall at times equal or exceed the Required Collateral Account Balance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8 and subject to any additional requirements with respect to the Collateral Account Balance contained in this Section 8, in the event that the Collateral Account Balance shall at any time be less than the Required Collateral Account Balance, including, without limitation, as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Factor or an increase in the BBU Unit Value, within two Business Days, BAM shall, or shall cause an Affiliate to, deposit into the Collateral Account either (i) a number of BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles or (ii) an amount of cash or Cash Equivalents, in an amount necessary to cause the Collateral Account Balance to be at least equal to the Required Collateral Account Balance. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to calculate the Required Collateral Account Balance, determine the Conversion Factor, determine if the Collateral Account Balance equals or exceeds the Required Collateral Account Balance, or determine the amounts necessary to cause the Collateral Account Balance to equal or exceed the Required Collateral Account Balance. BAM covenants and agrees that it will take all action within its control (including making requests of third parties and enforcing any contractual rights and/or obligations) to convert or redeem any BBU Unit Convertibles if necessary to satisfy any Class A Shareholder’s Secondary Exchange Right in accordance with this Agreement, and any delivery of a BBU Units Amount pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in the form of BBU Units and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in the form of BBU Unit Convertibles. To the extent that conversion or redemption of a BBU Unit Convertible results in the imposition of any fees, payments, premiums or penalties, such fees, payments, premiums or penalties shall be borne by BAM, or its applicable Affiliates, and shall either be satisfied directly by BAM or such Affiliates or shall be deemed to reduce the Collateral Account Balance. BAM shall keep the Rights Agent informed of the Collateral Account Balance and the Required Collateral Account Balance in writing on a regular basis, and shall inform the Rights Agent in writing within two Business Days of any change in the Collateral Account Balance or the Required Collateral Account Balance for any reason, including as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Factor or an increase in the BBU Unit Value.

- 13 -

(b) Prior to or substantially concurrently with the issuance of any Class A Shares by the Company, BAM shall, or cause an Affiliate of BAM to, deposit BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles into the Collateral Account such that, after taking into account the number of BBU Units issued or issuable upon conversion or redemption of such BBU Unit Convertibles, the number of BBU Units deposited into the Collateral Account shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of such Class A Shares issued (excluding any shares issued to BAM or its Affiliates) multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Factor. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to calculate the Conversion Factor, to determine the number of Class A Shares issued, or to determine the number of BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles necessary to equal the product of (i) the number of such Class A Shares issued (excluding any shares issued to BAM or its Affiliates) multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Factor.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 8(c), BAM and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to withdraw any BBU Unit or BBU Unit Convertible from the Collateral Account.

(i) In the event that the Collateral Account Balance shall exceed the Required Collateral Account Balance, either as a result of a change in the Conversion Factor or a decrease in the number of Class A Shares (excluding Class A Shares owned by BAM or its Affiliates) outstanding, BAM or an Affiliate of BAM shall be entitled to withdraw (pursuant to a written instruction from BAM to the Rights Agent) from the Collateral Account a number of BBU Units, or BBU Unit Convertibles that are convertible into or redeemable for a number of BBU Units, up to an amount equal to (i) the Collateral Account Balance minus (ii) the Required Collateral Account Balance. The Rights Agent shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely upon such written instruction from BAM in accordance with this Section 8(c)(i) without liability or further inquiry.

(ii) BAM, or any Affiliate of BAM, shall be permitted to withdraw from the Collateral Account a BBU Unit, or the number of BBU Unit Convertibles that are convertible into or redeemable for a BBU Unit, upon the deposit by BAM or any Affiliate of BAM of the BBU Unit Release Price with respect to such BBU Unit, or the number of BBU Unit Convertibles that are convertible into or redeemable for such BBU Unit, in the Collateral Account.

(d) If at any time the Collateral Account Cash Balance shall be less than the Required Collateral Account Cash Balance, BAM shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, within two Business Days, deposit cash or Cash Equivalents (pursuant to a written instruction from BAM to the Rights Agent and as selected by BAM) in an amount necessary to cause the Collateral Account Cash Balance to be at least equal to the Required Collateral Account Cash Balance.

- 14 -

(e) Except as set forth in this Section 8(e), BAM and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to withdraw any cash or Cash Equivalents from the Collateral Account.

(i) If at any time the Collateral Account Cash Balance shall be greater than one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Required Collateral Account Cash Balance, either as a result of a change in the Conversion Factor or a decrease in the number of Class A Shares (excluding Class A Shares owned by BAM or its Affiliates) outstanding, BAM or its Affiliates shall be permitted to withdraw (pursuant to a written instruction from BAM to the Rights Agent) cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount not to exceed the excess of (i) the Collateral Account Cash Balance minus (ii) one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Required Collateral Account Cash Balance. The Rights Agent shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely upon such written instruction from BAM in accordance with this Section 8(e)(i) without liability or further inquiry.

(ii) Upon the deposit in the Collateral Account of a number of BBU Units, or of BBU Unit Convertibles that are convertible into or redeemable for such number of BBU Units, BAM, or an Affiliate of BAM, shall be permitted to withdraw (pursuant to a written instruction from BAM to the Rights Agent) cash or Cash Equivalents from the Collateral Account in an amount equal to the aggregate BBU Unit Value of such number of BBU Units, or of the number of BBU Units issuable upon the conversion or redemption of such BBU Unit Convertibles, as applicable.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, BAM, or its applicable Affiliates, shall remain the beneficial owner of any BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles deposited by BAM or such Affiliates into the Collateral Account for so long as such BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles remain in the Collateral Account, and shall hold all of the rights, powers, privileges and preferences appurtenant to such BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles, including, without limitation, the right to distributions on such BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles. In the event that the Collateral Account consists of more than one account and (i) the Rights Agent has not received written instructions from BAM as to which account to use for any specific transaction described in this Section 8 or (ii) there shall not be an amount within the account designated by BAM to satisfy any applicable BBU Units Amount or Cash Amount to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, in such cases the Rights Agent shall follow an order of account priority, to be provided in writing by BAM upon the establishment each new account, when determining which account to use for any of the transactions described in this Section 8. BAM also covenants and agrees that it will take all action within its control to ensure that any transfer agent of the BBU Unit certificates and Class A Shares will comply with the Rights Agent’s instructions in carrying out the purposes of this Agreement. BAM shall provide the Rights Agent with all necessary information and contact details for each transfer agent for the BBU Unit certificates and Class A Shares. The Rights Agent shall have no liability for the failure of any transfer agent to facilitate or effect any transfers contemplated hereby, or for any delay in doing so, or for the failure of BAM of its obligations under this Section 8(f). Prior to any transfer contemplated by this Agreement, BAM shall instruct the transfer agents for any BBU Unit certificates and Class A Shares to follow the instructions of the Rights Agent in connection with any exchange of Class A Shares for BBU Units as set forth herein.

- 15 -

(g) In connection with any transfer by BAM of BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles into the Collateral Account required by this Agreement which are held through DTC or another Depositary, BAM shall deliver to the Rights Agent such BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles to the Collateral Account pursuant to DTC’s or such other Depositary’s Applicable Procedures. In connection with any transfer by BAM of BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles into the Collateral Account required by this Agreement which are not held through DTC or another Depositary, BAM shall take all necessary action to cause such BBU Units or BBU Unit Convertibles to be delivered to the Collateral Account.

Section 9. Registration of BBU Unit Resales.

In the event that a shelf registration statement, prospectus or Prospectus Exemption (as defined below) registering or exempting, as applicable, the transfer of BBU Units (including BBU Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BBU Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account) from the Collateral Account to an Exchanging Class A Shareholder (or to such other Person as may be entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) has, at any time, not been effective for five (5) consecutive Business Days, BAM shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of BAM to, deposit in the Collateral Account an amount of cash or Cash Equivalents equal to the BBU Unit Release Price for all BBU Units held in the Collateral Account (including BBU Units that are issuable upon conversion of for redemption for BBU Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account) that cease to be Registered BBU Units (as defined below) as a result thereof, within five (5) Business Days; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, no such deposit is required to the extent all of the BBU Units in the Collateral Account, including BBU Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BBU Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account, and the transfer of such BBU Units (including BBU Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BBU Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account) from the Collateral Account to an Exchanging Class A Shareholder (or to such other Person as may be entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) are (i) registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) qualified for distribution by BAM to Exchanging Class A Shareholders under the securities laws applicable in each of the provinces and territories of Canada through the filing of a prospectus (or exempt from the applicable prospectus requirements in such jurisdictions (a “Prospectus Exemption”)) (each BBU Unit so registered, including BBU Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BBU Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account, a “Registered BBU Unit”). The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and no liability) to determine if any BBU Unit, including BBU Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BBU Unit Convertibles, or any BBU Unit Convertible held in the Collateral Account or transferred to an Exchanging Class A Shareholder is a Registered BBU Unit freely transferable under the U.S. federal securities laws or the laws applicable in each of the provinces and territories of Canada.

Section 10. Concerning BAM.

(a) BAM agrees that any Class A Shareholder may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of BAM, extend the time of payment of the Exchange Rights or Secondary Exchange Rights, and may also make any agreement with the Company, BBU, or any other Person, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between a Class A Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Company, BBU or any such other Person, on the other hand, it being understood that no such action shall impair, affect, alter or increase BAM’s obligations under this Agreement or affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

- 16 -

(b) BAM agrees that its obligations hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of (a) the assertion by any Class A Shareholder of any rights or remedies which it may have under or with respect to this Agreement or against any Person obligated hereunder, (b) any Class A Shareholder’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any such right or remedy or any right or remedy such Class A Shareholder may have hereunder, (c) any change in the structure or ownership of the Company, (d) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company, BBU or any other Person, (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that BAM may have at any time against the Company, BBU or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Exchange Right, the Secondary Exchange Rights or otherwise; (f) the validity or enforceability of the Exchange Right; or (g) any other circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company with respect to the Exchange Right, in bankruptcy or any other instance, other than as provided herein.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BAM hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by any Class A Shareholder. BAM waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Agreement and of the Exchange Right, all defenses that may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar applicable law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Company or any other Person, and all suretyship defenses generally. BAM acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Master Services Agreement and that this Agreement, including specifically the waivers set forth in this Agreement, is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits and after the advice of counsel.

(d) BAM hereby unconditionally waives any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company or its subsidiaries that arise from the existence, payment, performance, or enforcement of BAM’s obligations under or in respect of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification.

(e) BAM hereby represents and warrants that:

(i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action, and do not contravene any provision of BAM’s organizational documents or any applicable law, order, judgment or contractual restriction binding on BAM or its assets;

(ii) all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any governmental entity necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by BAM have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental entity is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement;

- 17 -

(iii) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the BAM enforceable against BAM in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar applicable laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and

(iv) as of the date hereof, BAM has the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 11. Rights of Action.

All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, excepting the rights of action given to the Rights Agent under Section 12 hereof, are vested in the Class A Shareholders; and any Class A Shareholder may, without the consent of the Rights Agent or of any other Class A Shareholder, on such holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against BAM to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, such holder’s right to exercise the Secondary Exchange Rights and the Class A Shareholders’ rights under this Agreement, in each case in the manner provided in the Company’s Articles and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the Class A Shareholders, it is specifically acknowledged that the Class A Shareholders would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations of the obligations of any Person subject to, this Agreement. BAM agrees to pay all expenses, including all reasonable and documented third party costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel), actually paid or incurred by such Class A Shareholder in enforcing any of such Class A Shareholder’s rights hereunder or otherwise relating to any litigation or other proceeding brought by such Class A Shareholder to enforce such Class A Shareholder’s rights hereunder, if such Class A Shareholder prevails in such litigation or proceeding.

Section 12. Concerning the Rights Agent.

(a) BAM agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in accordance with Exhibit C attached hereto and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. BAM also agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense, incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability in connection therewith. The indemnification provided for hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Secondary Exchange Rights and the termination of this Agreement. The costs and expenses of enforcing this right of indemnification shall also be paid by BAM. The Rights Agent shall have no right of set-off against any funds in the Collateral Account with respect to any amounts owed to the Rights Agent by BAM hereunder.

- 18 -

(b) The Rights Agent may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document reasonably believed by it, in good faith, to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons, or otherwise upon the advice of legal counsel to the Rights Agent (who may be an employee of the Rights Agent or outside legal counsel for the Rights Agent). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Rights Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Rights Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of the action.

Section 13. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent.

Any Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such Person would be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 15 hereof. The acquisition of substantially all of the Rights Agent’s assets employed in the exercise of corporate trust powers shall be deemed to be a merger or consolidation for purposes of this Section 13.

Section 14. Duties of Rights Agent.

The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. Under no circumstances will the Rights Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary to BAM, the Company, any Class A Shareholder or any other person under this Agreement. The Rights Agent will not be responsible or liable for the failure of BAM, the Company, BBU, any transfer agent, any Class A Shareholder or any other person to perform in accordance with this Agreement. The Rights Agent shall perform those duties and obligations upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) Before the Rights Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may consult with legal counsel (who may be an employee of the Rights Agent or outside legal counsel for the Rights Agent), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

- 19 -

(b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by an authorized signatory of BAM identified in Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (which exhibit may be updated by BAM from time to time in BAM’s reasonable discretion, provided that such update does not adversely affect any Class A Shareholder or its rights hereunder in any respect) and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.

(c) The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Rights Agent shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, indirect or consequential damages or losses of any kind whatsoever (including without limitation lost profits), even if the Rights Agent has been advised of the possibility of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action.

(d) The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Company’s Articles or be required to verify the same.

(e) The Rights Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by BAM of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any BBU Units to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or as to whether any BBU Units will, when so issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(f) BAM agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.

- 20 -

(g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept (and shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely upon, without further inquiry) instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any Person reasonably believed by the Rights Agent to be one of the authorized signatories of BAM listed on Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (which exhibit may be updated by BAM from time to time in BAM’s reasonable discretion, provided that such update does not adversely affect any Class A Shareholder or its rights hereunder in any respect), and to apply to such Persons for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whenever the Rights Agent is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement, or in the event that the Rights Agent is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or believes any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination or discretion by the Rights Agent or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Rights Agent is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Rights Agent shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to BAM requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Rights Agent acts in good faith in accordance with any written instructions received from BAM the Rights Agent shall not be liable on account of such action to any person. If the Rights Agent shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or such shorter period as reasonably may be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under the circumstances) it shall be entitled to take no action and shall give prompt written notice of its decision not to take action to BAM, to the Company, and to any Exchanging Class A Shareholder that may be affected by such decision not to take action. Any application by the Rights Agent for written instructions from BAM may, at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Rights Agent under this Agreement and the date on or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Rights Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Rights Agent in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified in such application unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Rights Agent shall have received, in response to such application, written instructions with respect to the proposed action or omission specifying a different action to be taken or omitted.

(h) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Rights Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Class A Shares or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which BAM or the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to BAM or the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for BAM, the Company or for any other Person.

(i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to BAM or the Class A Shareholders resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof.

(j) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability (other than expenses and overhead incurred in the ordinary course by the Rights Agent’s performance under this Agreement) in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(k) Other than with respect to a Company Notice, Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, BAM instruction, or deposit of Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account in accordance with Section 4, the Rights Agent shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any fact, event or determination under this Agreement unless and until the Rights Agent shall be specifically notified in writing by BAM of such fact, event or determination.

- 21 -

(l) The Rights Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; it being understood that the Rights Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

(m) The Rights Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Rights Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document.

(n) Unless subject to reimbursement by BAM pursuant to Section 12(a) or reasonably necessary in order for the Rights Agent to perform its express obligations hereunder in accordance herewith, notwithstanding anything contained herein or elsewhere to the contrary, the Rights Agent shall not be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will (x) require the Rights Agent in its individual capacity to obtain the consent, approval, authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency other than the State of Delaware; (y) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Rights Agent in its individual capacity, or (z) subject the Rights Agent in its individual capacity to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Rights Agent contemplated hereby.

(o) The right of the Rights Agent to perform any discretionary act (if any) enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.

Section 15. Change of Rights Agent.

The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 30 days’ notice in writing mailed to BAM and the Company and to each transfer agent of the Class A Shares and the BBU Units by registered or certified mail. BAM may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon 30 days’ notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Class A Shares and the BBU Units by registered or certified mail. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, BAM shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If BAM shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by a Class A Shareholder, then any Class A Shareholder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by BAM or by such a court, shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, including, without limitation, the Collateral Account, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment BAM shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent, the Company, and each transfer agent of the Class A Shares and the BBU Units. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 15, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

Section 16. Notices.

Section 17. Supplements and Amendments.

BAM may from time to time, and the Rights Agent shall, if BAM so directs, supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any Class A Shareholder in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein, to make modifications necessary to reflect changes in applicable law, including, without limitation, tax law, or to make any other change, in each case, provided that such change, amendment, modification or supplementation does not adversely affect any Class A Shareholder or its rights hereunder in any respect. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence or as otherwise contemplated by Section 4(a)(i) or Section 14(b) with respect to updates to Exhibits B-1 and B-2, any amendment or modification to this Agreement shall require (a) pursuant to a consent request duly conducted by, and at the expense of, BAM or (b) at a duly called annual or special meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the affirmative consent or vote, as applicable, of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Class A Shares not held by BAM, BBU or their controlled Affiliates, voting as a class, and the approval of a majority of the independent directors (within the meaning of the listing standards of the securities exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed) of the Company. Any supplement or amendment authorized by this Section 17 shall be evidenced by a writing signed by BAM and the Rights Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no supplement or amendment that changes the rights and duties of the Rights Agent under this Agreement will be effective against the Rights Agent without the execution of such supplement or amendment by the Rights Agent. In executing any amendment or supplement contemplated hereby, the Rights Agent shall be provided with, and shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely upon, an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel to BAM) stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery thereof have been duly satisfied or waived.

Section 18. Successors.

All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of BAM or the Rights Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder.

Section 19. Benefits of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than BAM, the Rights Agent and the Class A Shareholders any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of BAM, the Rights Agent and the Class A Shareholders.

- 24 -

Section 20. Severability.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 21. Governing Law; Forum Selection.

This Agreement and the Secondary Exchange Rights issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Delaware and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such State. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to be, and all the rights governed by this Agreement, including the rights of the Class A Shareholders in accordance with Section 11 shall be, subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts sitting in the City of Wilmington in the State of Delaware and of the United States of America located in the District of the State of Delaware for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement. No action, suit or proceeding relating thereto shall be commenced in any other court. Service of any process, summons, notice or document if delivered or made pursuant to Section 16 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the aforementioned courts and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives all claims, and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court, that any action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 22. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 23. Descriptive Headings.

The table of contents and descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

Section 24. Administration; Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first Business Day where there shall be no Class A Shares outstanding, other than Class A Shares owned by BAM or its Affiliates, (ii) (a) pursuant to a consent request duly conducted by, and at the expense of, BAM or (b) at a duly called annual or special meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the affirmative consent or vote, as applicable, of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Class A Shares not held by BAM, BBU or their controlled Affiliates, voting as a class, and the approval of a majority of the independent directors (within the meaning of the listing standards of the securities exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed) of the Company, and (iii) the Final Expiration Date. BAM shall provide the Rights Agent with written notice of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to section (i) or (ii) above.

Section 25. No Waiver; Cumulative Rights.

No failure on the part of any Class A Shareholder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Class A Shareholder of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder by such Class A Shareholder or any other Class A Shareholder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Class A Shareholders shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, remedy or power, and may be exercised by any Class A Shareholder at any time or from time to time.

Section 26. Fractional Units.

Class A Shareholders holding a number of Subject Class A Shares which would entitle such holders to receive less than one whole BBU Unit pursuant to this Agreement shall receive cash in lieu of fractional units. Fractional BBU Units shall not be distributed to Class A Shareholders or credited to book-entry accounts. With respect to any delivery of BBU Units to a Class A Shareholder under this Agreement, BAM shall promptly instruct the transfer agent for the BBU Units to, as soon as practicable, (a) determine the number of whole BBU Units and fractional BBU Units allocable to each holder of record or beneficial owner of Class A Shares entitled to receive BBU Units at such time, (b) aggregate all such fractional units into whole BBU Units and sell the whole BBU Units obtained thereby in open market transactions, in each case, at then-prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional BBU Units, and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per BBU Unit after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for tax purposes and any brokerage fees incurred in connection with these sales of fractional BBU Units. Neither BAM nor the Rights Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional BBU Units. Neither BAM nor the Rights Agent will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional BBU Units. The transfer agent of the BBU Units acting on behalf of the applicable party will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional BBU Units and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such units, provided that neither the transfer agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional BBU Units are sold shall be Affiliates of BAM.

Section 27. Book Entry.

Reference in this Agreement to certificates for Class A Shares or BBU Units shall include, in the case of uncertificated shares or units, the balances indicated in the book-entry account system of the transfer agent for the Class A Shares or BBU Units, as applicable. Any legend required to be placed on any certificates for Class A Shares or BBU Units may instead be included on any book-entry confirmation or notification to the registered holder of such Class A Shares or BBU Units.
