LETTER TO SECURITYHOLDERS

Dear unitholders and shareholders:

We are pleased to announce the proposed simplification of our corporate structure by converting Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (“BBU”) and Brookfield Business Corporation (“BBUC”) into a single publicly traded corporate entity. Unitholders are invited to attend a special meeting of unitholders, and shareholders are invited to attend a special meeting of shareholders to consider this reorganization (the “Arrangement”). The special meeting of unitholders will be held virtually on January 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) and the special meeting of shareholders will be held virtually on January 13, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time).

Why you should approve the Arrangement

The Arrangement is designed to result in unitholders and shareholders holding shares in a single corporation which is expected to drive long-term value and benefits for all holders as follows:

Broader access to global investors who prefer corporate structures;

Improved consolidated trading liquidity through a single listed security;

Increased demand from expected index inclusion;

Simplified financial and tax reporting; and

Expected to be tax-deferred for the vast majority of Canadian and U.S. investors.

The market capitalization of the Corporation is expected to reflect the combined capitalization of BBU and BBUC.

Overview of the Arrangement

The following are the key elements of the Arrangement:

1559985 B.C. Ltd. (the “Corporation”), a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia, will have a capital structure that includes class A subordinated voting shares (“Corporation Class A Shares”), class B multiple voting shares (“Corporation Class B Shares”), special non-voting incentive shares (“Corporation Special Shares”), and class A preferred shares.

Holders of BBU limited partnership units (“BBU units”) and class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BBUC (“BBUC exchangeable shares”) will receive one (1) Corporation Class A Share for each BBU unit and BBUC exchangeable share held.

The redemption-exchange units (“REUs”) and special limited partner units of Brookfield Business L.P. (“Holding LP”) will be exchanged, on a one-for-one basis, for Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Special Shares, respectively.

BBU and BBUC will become subsidiaries of the Corporation.

Subject to TSX and NYSE approval, the Corporation Class A Shares will be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange and trade under the symbol “BBUC”. BBU and BBUC will be delisted and cease to be reporting issuers.

The Arrangement will be implemented pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

The Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the receipt of the approval of the British Columbia Supreme Court. Subject to the receipt of all required approvals, it is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed in the first quarter of 2026.

Recommended Action

Special committees of the boards of directors of each of BBUC and the general partner of BBU (collectively, the “Boards”) were formed to oversee and assess the terms of the Arrangement. The BBU and BBUC special committees have unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of BBU and BBUC, respectively, and have recommended that the Boards approve the Arrangement and recommend that all security holders vote in favor of the Arrangement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The Boards, on the recommendation of each of their respective special committees, have unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of each of BBU and BBUC, as applicable, and resolved to approve the Arrangement and recommend that holders of BBU units and holders of BBUC exchangeable shares vote in favor of the resolutions approving Arrangement and the BBU limited partnership agreement amendment, as applicable.

In making its determinations, the special committees and the Boards considered, among other factors, the fairness opinion of Origin Merchant Partners to the effect that, as of November 4, 2025 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by public holders of BBU units and by public holders of BBUC exchangeable shares is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

Securityholders of record as of close of business on November 25, 2025 will be entitled to vote at the meetings. Your vote and participation is important regardless of the number of securities that you own. We have made it easy for you to vote by telephone, internet, mail or by attending the meetings virtually. The notices of special meetings and management information circular (the “Circular”) that accompanies this letter contains a detailed description of the Arrangement, the meetings and how to exercise your vote. You are urged to read this information carefully and, if you require assistance, to consult your own legal, tax, financial or other professional advisor.

On behalf of the Boards, we express our appreciation for your continued support. We look forward to having you join us on January 13.

Yours very truly,

“Cyrus Madon”		“Anuj Ranjan”

Cyrus Madon Executive Chairman Brookfield Business Partners		Anuj Ranjan Chief Executive Officer Brookfield Business Partners

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF UNITHOLDERS

A special meeting (the “BBU Unitholders’ Meeting”) of the holders (the “Unitholders”) of non-voting limited partnership units (each, a “BBU unit”) of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (“BBU”) will be held on January 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) in a virtual meeting format to:

transact such other business as may properly come before the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Details relating to the Arrangement and the other matters to be considered at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting are set forth in the Circular. Completion of the proposed Arrangement is conditional upon certain other matters described in the Circular, including the receipt of the approval of the British Columbia Supreme Court (the “Final Order”) and required regulatory approvals.

A special committee of the directors of the general partner of BBU (the “BBU Special Committee”) has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of BBU and recommended that the board of directors of the general partner of the BBU (the “BBU Board”) approve the Arrangement and recommend that Unitholders vote in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions.

The BBU Board, on the recommendation of the BBU Special Committee, has determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of BBU and has unanimously resolved to approve the Arrangement and recommend that Unitholders vote in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions.

The BBU Unitholders’ Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only as a cost-effective and sustainable means of engaging with Unitholders in a manner that affords equal opportunity to all Unitholders to take part in the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting. Unitholders will be able to listen to, participate in and vote at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting in real time through a web-based platform.

You can attend and vote at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting by visiting https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/400-018-416-449 and entering your control number and password “BBU2026” (case sensitive).

Your vote and participation in the business of BBU Unitholders’ Meeting is important regardless of the number of BBU units that you own. Registered holders of BBU units at the close of business on November 25, 2025 (“Registered Unitholders”) and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend and participate in the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting and vote in real time, provided they are connected to the internet and follow the instructions in the Circular.

Non-registered holders of BBU units (“Non-Registered Unitholders”) who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting as guests but will not be able to ask questions or vote at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting.

If you wish to appoint a person other than the Management Representatives identified in the form of proxy or voting instruction form (including if you are a Non-Registered Unitholder who wishes to appoint yourself as proxyholder in order to attend the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting) you must carefully follow the instructions in the Circular and on the form of proxy or voting instruction form.

NOTICE TO SECURITYHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

THE ARRANGEMENT AND THE CORPORATION CLASS A SHARES TO BE ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC, THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY IN ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER U.S. REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAS THE SEC, THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER U.S. REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED ON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE ARRANGEMENT OR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR.

The issuance of the Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement has not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the U.S. Securities Laws of any state of the United States and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof. See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—United States Securities Laws Matters”.

Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act exempts from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act the issuance of securities which have been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of the relevant transaction and at which all persons to whom it is proposed the securities will be issued shall have the right to appear. The Court issued the Interim Order on November 25, 2025 and, subject to the approval of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution by the holders of the BBUC exchangeable shares and BBUC class B shares and the BBU Transaction Resolutions by the Unitholders, a hearing for a Final Order approving the Arrangement is expected to take place on or about January 16, 2026 at the Court at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 2E1 or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. All Securityholders are entitled to appear and be heard at this hearing, provided that they satisfy the applicable conditions set forth in the Interim Order.

Securityholders should be aware that requirements under such Canadian laws and such disclosure requirements may differ from requirements under United States corporate and securities laws relating to United States corporations.

As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for Securityholders to effect service of process within the United States upon the parties to the Arrangement, their respective officers and directors or the experts named herein, or to realize against them upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws. In addition, Securityholders should not assume that the courts of Canada: (a) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws; or (b) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws.

Securityholders who are U.S. taxpayers should be aware that the Arrangement described in this Circular may have tax consequences both in Canada and in the United States which are not described fully herein.

Statements relating to “reserves” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described herein can be profitably produced in the future.

There are also risks inherent in the nature of the Arrangement, including (i) the possibility that the Arrangement will not be completed on the terms and conditions, or on the timing, currently contemplated, and that it may not be completed at all, due to a failure to obtain or satisfy, in a timely manner or otherwise, the required shareholder approvals and the Court and other conditions of closing necessary to complete the Arrangement, or for other reasons; (ii) risks related to tax matters; (iii) the absence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Arrangement Agreement, and (iv) the delay in or increase in the cost of completing the Arrangement.

Questions	Answers

The Arrangement

*Why have I received this package of information?*	On November 6, 2025, BBU, BBUC and the Corporation entered into the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to implement the Arrangement by way of a plan of arrangement. The Arrangement is subject to, among other things, obtaining the approval of Shareholders and Unitholders. As a Unitholder or Shareholder of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the applicable Meeting or any adjournment or postponement, even if you have since that date disposed of your BBUC exchangeable shares or BBU units. We are soliciting your proxy, or vote, and providing this Circular in connection with such solicitation.
*Why is Brookfield Business Partners pursuing the Arrangement?*	The Arrangement is designed to result in Unitholders and Shareholders holding shares in a single corporate entity and is expected to drive long-term value for all Securityholders. The anticipated benefits of the Arrangement include: ·      Broader access to global investors who prefer corporate structures.   ·      Improved consolidated trading liquidity through a single listed security.   ·      Increased demand from expected index inclusion.   ·      Simplified financial reporting and elimination of partnership tax reporting forms.   ·      The Arrangement is expected to be tax-deferred for the vast majority of Canadian and U.S. investors.   The market capitalization of the Corporation is expected to reflect the combined capitalization of BBU and BBUC. See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement” and “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement”. For additional information regarding BBU and BBUC, see “Information Concerning BBU” and “Information Concerning BBUC”, respectively.

BBU and BBUC will be delisted and cease to be reporting issuers.   See “The Arrangement—Details of the Arrangement” for additional information on the proposed terms of the Arrangement.
*How do the Boards recommend I vote?*	The Special Committees have assessed the terms of the Arrangement and have unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of each of BBU and BBUC and recommended that the Boards approve the Arrangement and recommend that Securityholders vote in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions and BBUC Arrangement Resolution, as applicable.   The Boards, on the recommendation of their respective Special Committees, have unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of BBU and BBUC, as applicable, and resolved to approve the Arrangement and recommend that Securityholders vote in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions and BBUC Arrangement Resolution, as applicable.   In making its determination, the BBU Board considered, among other factors, the Origin Fairness Opinion to the effect that, as of November 4, 2025 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of BBU units pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Unitholders.   In making its determination, the BBUC Board considered, among other factors, the Origin Fairness Opinion to the effect that, as of November 4, 2025 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Fairness Opinion) of BBUC exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders.

Questions	Answers

*Why should I vote FOR the BBU Transaction Resolutions or BBUC Arrangement Resolution?*	The Special Committees and the Boards carefully evaluated the Arrangement and believe that the Arrangement is in the best interests of BBU and BBUC, as applicable. In the course of their evaluation, the Boards considered, among other things, the following factors:   ·      The Arrangement is expected to drive long-term value for all Unitholders and Shareholders and effect the anticipated benefits described above, including broader appeal to global investors, improved consolidated trading liquidity, increased demand from expected index inclusion, simplified financial reporting and elimination of partnership tax reporting forms.   ·      Origin has provided the Origin Fairness Opinion to the Special Committees, concluding that, as at November 4, 2025 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Origin Fairness Opinion) of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Securityholders.   ·      The Arrangement is expected to be tax-deferred for the vast majority of U.S. and Canadian Securityholders.   ·      Following the Arrangement, the consolidated financial position of the Corporation is expected to be consistent with that of BBU and no impact to financial performance metrics is expected.   See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement” and “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement”.
*Am I entitled to Dissent Rights?*	Registered Unitholders who properly exercise their Dissent Rights will be entitled to be paid the fair value of their BBU units determined as of the close of business on the day before the BBU Arrangement Resolution is adopted.   Registered Shareholders who properly exercise their Dissent Rights will be entitled to be paid the fair value of their BBUC exchangeable shares determined as of the close of business on the day before the BBUC Arrangement Resolution is adopted.   These amounts may be the same as, more than or less than the consideration payable under the Arrangement or the trading price of the BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares, as applicable, on the TSX or the NYSE on such date. Any Registered Unitholders who have duly exercised their Dissent Rights and, following the dissent process specified in the BBU LPA Amendment, are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their BBU units, will instead be entitled to the fair value of such BBU units and will not receive Corporation Class A Shares.   Any Registered Shareholders who have duly exercised their Dissent Rights and, following the dissent process under the BCBCA, are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their BBUC exchangeable shares, will instead be entitled to the fair value of such BBUC exchangeable shares and will not receive Corporation Class A Shares.   If you wish to exercise Dissent Rights, you should review the requirements summarized in this Circular carefully and consult with your legal advisor. For greater clarity, Non-Registered Unitholders and Non-Registered Shareholders are not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights. See “Dissent Rights”.   The Arrangement Agreement provides that the Arrangement is not required to be completed if Unitholders and Shareholders holding more than 5% of the outstanding BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares in the aggregate validly exercise their Dissent Rights.
*Who should submit a Unitholder Notice to the Corporation?*	Eligible Canadian Holders of BBU units may, at their option, notify the Corporation of their intention to exchange their BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares on a full or partial tax-deferred rollover basis by filing a joint tax election with the CRA that complies with the conditions set out in the Tax Act within the prescribed time set out in the Tax Act. Further actions must be taken by Eligible Canadian Holders to make a Tax Election. For more information and instructions on the Tax Election procedure, such holders should consult the tax information on our website at https://bbu.brookfield.com under “Corporate Reorganization”.   For additional information on the Unitholder Notice and Tax Election, see “The Arrangement—Unitholder Notice” and “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consideration—Procedure for Making a Tax Election”.

Questions	Answers

*If the Arrangement is completed, when can I expect to receive my Corporation Class A Shares?*	The Arrangement will result in the replacement of the existing holdings of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares with holdings of Corporation Class A Shares. Non-Registered Unitholders and Non-Registered Shareholders should contact their Intermediary to determine how soon following the completion the Arrangement they can expect to see their Corporation Class A Shares reflected in their brokerage or other accounts.   Certificates and DRS statements representing the Corporation Class A Shares shall be made available to Registered Unitholders and Registered Shareholders on request as soon as practicable after the Arrangement becomes effective. See “The Arrangement—Exchange Procedures”.

*What will happen if the Arrangement is not approved or completed?*	If the Arrangement is not approved or completed for any reason, the Arrangement Agreement will be terminated. In this scenario, we expect that BBU and BBUC will continue to operate in the ordinary course. For more information, see “Risk Factors —Risks Relating to the Arrangement”.

The Corporation and Corporation Class A Shares following the Arrangement

*What will be the name of the Corporation?*	The Corporation is currently named 1559985 B.C. Ltd. The Corporation will be renamed to a new name that includes “Brookfield” prior to the completion of the Arrangement.

*What will be the capital structure of the Corporation after completion of the Arrangement?*	The Corporation will be authorized to issue four classes of shares: (i) an unlimited number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares; (ii) an unlimited number of Class B Multiple Voting Shares; (iii) an unlimited number of Special Non-Voting Incentive Shares; and (iv) an unlimited number of Class A Preferred Shares, issuable in series. No series of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares will be authorized initially.   See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement” and “Information Concerning the Corporation—Share Capital”.

*Do you intend to pay dividends on the Corporation Class A Shares?*	Yes. Following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation is expected to pay an annual dividend of $0.25 per share, consistent with the current distribution and dividend paid on BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares. Following the completion of the Arrangement, the board of directors of the Corporation may declare dividends at its discretion. Dividends on the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares will be subject to the prior rights of the holders of the Corporation Senior Shares and any other shares ranking senior to the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares.   See also “Information Concerning the Corporation—Dividend Policy”.

Questions

Answers

Will there be any significant shareholders of the Corporation after the Arrangement?

Yes. Brookfield will hold 100% of the Corporation Class B Shares, 100% of the Corporation Special Shares and approximately 42% of the Corporation Class A Shares. Additionally, BWS will hold approximately 26% of the Corporation Class A Shares.

The Corporation Class A Shares will have one vote per share and the Corporation Class B Shares will hold a number of votes equal to three (3) times the total votes of the Corporation Class A Shares. As a result, the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares will control 25% and 75%, respectively, of the aggregate voting rights of the Corporation, thereby giving the Brookfield Holders an approximate 92% aggregate voting interest in the Corporation. The Corporation Class B Shares are not transferable except to Brookfield Corporation or another person controlled by Brookfield Corporation.

See “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement” and “Information Concerning the Corporation—Principal Securityholders”.

*What will the Corporation’s relationship be with Brookfield following completion of the Arrangement?*	After the completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation’s relationship with Brookfield will be substantially the same as our existing relationship with Brookfield, and the Corporation will continue to serve as Brookfield’s primary vehicle to own and operate business services and industrial operations on a global basis.   In addition, following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation will become a party to the Master Services Agreement and other agreements of our group.   See “Information Concerning the Corporation—Relationship with Brookfield” and “The Arrangement—Material Agreements”.

*Who will be on the board of directors of the Corporation?*	After completion of the Arrangement, the board of directors of the Corporation will be identical to the existing board of directors of BBUC. This means that the board will consist of ten individuals, eight of whom are also presently directors of the BBU General Partner. See “Information Concerning the Corporation—Directors and Executive Officers”.

*Where will I be able to trade the Corporation Class A Shares?*	It is expected that the Corporation will commence trading shortly after the completion of the Arrangement under the symbol “BBUC”.   There is currently no public trading market for the Corporation Class A Shares. However, we have applied to have the Corporation Class A Shares listed on the NYSE and the TSX under the symbol “BBUC”. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Corporation Class A Shares. Listing on the NYSE is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the NYSE, and listing on the TSX is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX on or before the first trading day of the Corporation Class A Shares.

*Are there risks associated with owning the Corporation Class A Shares?*	Yes, like owning BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares, the ownership of the Corporation Class A Shares is subject to both general and specific risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of factors, you should consider in deciding whether to vote in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions or BBUC Arrangement Resolution and hold Corporation Class A Shares, please see “Risk Factors”.

Questions

Answers

What will happen to the listing of the BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares?

Both the BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares will be delisted from the TSX and NYSE, and BBU and BBUC will both cease to be reporting issuers in Canada and will be deregistered under the U.S. Exchange Act.

The Meetings will be held in a virtual meeting only format. Unitholders and Shareholders will be able to listen to, participate in and vote at their respective Meeting in real time through a web-based platform.

Unitholders can attend and vote at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting by visiting https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/400-018-416-449 and entering their username or control number and password “BBU2026” (case sensitive).

Shareholders can attend and vote at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting by visiting https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/400-358-658-608 and entering their username or control number and password “BBUC2026” (case sensitive).

For more information, see “The Meetings”.

What approvals are required of Unitholders and Shareholders at the Meetings?

At the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting, Unitholders will be asked to pass the BBU Transaction Resolutions, which include the BBU Arrangement Resolution approving the Arrangement and the BBU LPA Amendment Resolution approving the BBU LPA Amendment. At the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass the BBUC Arrangement Resolution approving the Arrangement.

To become effective, the transaction will require approval by (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding BBU units, (ii) two-thirds of votes cast by holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and BBUC class B shares voting together as a single class, and (iii) two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of BBUC exchangeable shares voting as a separate class.

In addition, BBU has applied for and obtained exemptive relief to permit future issuances of Corporation Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Corporation Class A Shares without requiring further approval by Corporation shareholders. The exemptive relief is conditional on, among other things, the BBU Transaction Resolutions and BBUC Arrangement Resolution having been approved by, on a combined basis, a majority of the votes cast by Securityholders (excluding the votes cast by affiliates and control persons of BBU and BBUC). Accordingly, (i) in respect of BBU, voting in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions (either the BBU Arrangement Resolution or the BBU LPA Amendment Resolution) will constitute voting in favor of the Corporation’s ability to conduct future issuances of Corporation Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to a prospectus, and (ii) in respect of BBUC, voting in favor of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution will constitute voting in favor of the Corporation’s ability to conduct future issuances of Corporation Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to a prospectus, in each case, without requiring further approval by Corporation shareholders.

Questions

Answers

Tax Matters

*Is the Arrangement taxable for Canadian federal income tax purposes?*	For Canadian federal income tax purposes, Eligible Canadian Holders will, absent a Tax Election, be considered to have disposed of BBU units for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of such securities exchanged. Eligible Canadian Holders may jointly elect with the Corporation pursuant to section 85 of the Tax Act to effect such exchange on a fully or partially tax-deferred basis; see “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consideration—Procedure for Making a Tax Election”. Resident Holders that dispose of BBUC exchangeable shares for solely Corporation Class A Shares will generally be entitled to the automatic rollover provisions in section 85.1 of the Tax Act; see “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”.   The Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement are complex, and holders of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

*Is the Arrangement taxable for United States federal income tax purposes?*	For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the exchanges of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement are expected to qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code, although this is not free from doubt, as discussed in greater detail in “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement are complex, and holders of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

The Arrangement

On September 25, 2025, Brookfield Business Partners publicly announced its intention to proceed with the Arrangement.

On November 6, 2025, BBU, BBUC and the Corporation executed and delivered the Arrangement Agreement.

If the Arrangement is completed, (i) Unitholders will receive from the Corporation one (1) Corporation Class A Share for each BBU unit held as of the Effective Date; (ii) Shareholders will receive from the Corporation one (1) Corporation Class A Share for each BBUC exchangeable share held as of the Effective Date; (iii) each holder of an REU will receive from the Corporation one (1) Corporation Class A Share for each REU held as of the Effective Date; (iv) a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management will receive from the Corporation one (1) Corporation Special Share for each Special LP Unit held as of the Effective Date; and (v) Brookfield, in exchange for the BBU General Partner Share, will receive from the Corporation three (3) Corporation Class B Shares, resulting in Brookfield holding one (1) Corporation Class B Share for each BBU GP unit held by the BBU General Partner as of the Effective Date.

Subject to TSX and NYSE Approval, the Corporation Class A Shares will be listed on the TSX and NYSE and trade under the symbol “BBUC”. Each of BBU and BBUC will be delisted and cease to be a reporting issuer.

See “The Arrangement—Arrangement Agreement”.

Reasons for the Arrangement

The Special Committees and the Boards carefully evaluated the Arrangement and believe that the Arrangement is in the best interests of each of BBU and BBUC, as applicable. The BBU Board has unanimously recommended that Unitholders vote in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions and the BBUC Board has unanimously recommended that Shareholders vote in favor of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution. In the course of their evaluations, the Special Committees and the Board considered, among other things, the following factors:

Corporate Structure. The Corporation will continue as the flagship listed vehicle of Brookfield’s private equity business. The Corporation will carry on Brookfield Business Partners’ role as an owner and operator of business services and industrials operations on a global basis, focused on owning and operating high-quality businesses that provide essential products and services and benefit from a strong competitive position while: (i) providing broader access to global investors who prefer corporate structures; (ii) improving consolidated trading liquidity through a single listed security; and (iii) being eligible for inclusion in several large global indices and exchange traded funds. Securityholders will continue to own economically equivalent securities to the securities through which they hold their investments in our group today.

Origin Fairness Opinion. The Financial Advisor has provided the Origin Fairness Opinion to the Special Committees, concluding that, as at November 4, 2025, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Origin Fairness Opinion) of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Securityholders.

Tax-Deferral. The exchange of BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares and REUs for the Class A Consideration through the Arrangement is expected to be tax-deferred for the vast majority of U.S. and Canadian Securityholders.

Financial Reporting. The Arrangement will simplify our financial reporting as all investors, regardless of whether they presently receive the financial statements of BBU or BBUC, will receive the financial statements of the Corporation following completion of the Arrangement, which shall reflect the results of operations and financial position of our business on a consolidated basis. BBU will be the predecessor of the Corporation for accounting purposes and the historical financial statements of BBU will become the historical financial statements of the Corporation. See “Information Concerning the Corporation—Financial Information”.

Securityholder and Court Approval. The procedures by which the Arrangement will be approved, including both Unitholder and Shareholder approval and approval of the Court, offers substantial protection to Securityholders. See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Completion of the Arrangement”.

Brookfield Holders. The Brookfield Holders will retain an interest in the Corporation following completion of the Arrangement based on their present interests in our group. The Brookfield Holders’ interest will consist of: (i) Corporation Class A Shares, representing the Brookfield Holders’ equity interest in our group, which will be received in exchange for the Brookfield Holders’ current holdings of BBU units, REUs and BBUC exchangeable shares; (ii) Corporation Class B Shares, representing Brookfield’s voting control of our group, which will be received in exchange for the BBU General Partner Share; and (iii) the Corporation Special Shares, representing Brookfield Asset Management’s entitlement to receive incentive distributions based on the trading price of the Corporation Class A Shares, which will be received in exchange for the Special LP Units.

The foregoing summary of factors considered by the Special Committees and the Boards is not intended to be exhaustive. In reaching the determination to unanimously approve and recommend the Arrangement to Securityholders and given the variety and complexity of factors considered, the Special Committees and the Boards did not assign any relative or specific weight to the factors that were considered. Additionally, individual directors may have given different weights to these factors. Their respective recommendations were made after consideration of all of the above and other factors, the risk factors set out in this Circular, and in light of the directors’ collective knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of our group.

See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement”, “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement”, “The Arrangement—Arrangement Agreement”, and “The Arrangement—Plan of Arrangement”.

Recommendation of the Special Committees

Each of the BBU Special Committee and the BBUC Special Committee has assessed the terms of the Arrangement. The Special Committees unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of each of BBU and BBUC, as applicable, and have recommended that the respective Boards approve the Arrangement and recommend that Securityholders vote in favor of the Arrangement.

Recommendation of the Boards

The BBU Board, on the recommendation of the BBU Special Committee, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of BBU and resolved to approve the Arrangement.

The BBU Board unanimously recommends that Unitholders vote FOR the BBU Transaction Resolutions.

The BBUC Board, on the recommendation of the BBUC Special Committee, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of BBUC and resolved to approve the Arrangement.

The BBUC Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the BBUC Arrangement Resolution.

Fairness Opinion

The Financial Advisor provided an opinion to the Special Committees that, as of November 4, 2025 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Origin Fairness Opinion) of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view to such Securityholders.

LPA Amendment

In order to effect the Arrangement in respect of the BBU units, the BBU General Partner is proposing to amend the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement to, among other things, approve, authorize and provide for: (i) the exchange of BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares; and (ii) the grant of Dissent Rights to Registered Unitholders, all in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement. The LPA Amendment will be effective at the time it is stated to become effective pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

See “The Arrangement—The LPA Amendment”.

Exchange Procedures

See “The Arrangement—Exchange Procedures”.

Stock Exchange Listing

It is expected that the Corporation Class A Shares will commence trading shortly after the completion of the Arrangement under the symbol “BBUC”.

There is currently no public trading market for the Corporation Class A Shares. However, we have applied to have the Corporation Class A Shares listed on the NYSE and the TSX under the symbol “BBUC”. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Corporation Class A Shares. Listing on the NYSE is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the NYSE, and listing on the TSX is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX on or before the first trading day of the Corporation Class A Shares.

Completion of the Arrangement

The Arrangement Agreement provides for the Arrangement to become effective after the Final Order has been granted at any time as we deem appropriate, in our sole discretion, after the conditions precedent contained in the Arrangement Agreement have been satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived, as applicable. Subject to satisfaction or waiver of conditions precedent to the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, it is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed in the first quarter of 2026.

See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Completion of the Arrangement”.

Unitholder Approval

To become effective, each of the BBU Transaction Resolutions must be approved by the affirmative vote of Unitholders present or represented by proxy at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting, holding BBU units that in the aggregate represent a majority of outstanding BBU units as of the close of business on the Record Date.

See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Unitholder Approval”.

Shareholder Approval

To become effective, the BBUC Arrangement Resolution must be approved by: (i) not less than 66⅔ % of the votes cast at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting by holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and holders of BBUC class B shares, voting together; and (ii) not less than 66⅔ % of the votes cast at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting by holders of BBUC exchangeable shares, voting separately as a class.

See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Shareholder Approval”.

Court Approval

It is a condition of the Arrangement Agreement that the Interim Order and the Final Order must be obtained from the Court. Prior to the mailing of this Circular, we obtained the Interim Order, which provides for, among other things, the calling and holding of the Meetings.

It is expected that shortly after the Meetings, subject to the approval of the BBU Transaction Resolutions and the BBUC Arrangement Resolution at the Meetings, an application will be made for the Court’s final approval of the Arrangement. At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will determine whether to approve the Arrangement. Participation in the hearing for the Final Order, including who may participate and present evidence or argument and the procedure for doing so, is subject to the terms of the Interim Order and any subsequent direction of the Court.

The Interim Order sets out how Securityholders and other interested parties may participate in the hearing for the Final Order, which has been set for January 16, 2026. Any Securityholders or any other interested party who wishes to appear or be represented and to present evidence or arguments at the hearing of the application for the Final Order must file and serve a response to petition no later than 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on January 12, 2026, in the form prescribed by the Supreme Court Civil Rules, with the Court, and deliver a copy of the filed response together with a copy of all materials on which such shareholder or other interested party intends to rely at the hearing of the petition, including an outline of such person’s proposed submission, to Brookfield Business Partners c/o Torys LLP, 79 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1N2 Attention: Andrew Gray.

See “Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters—Court Approval” and a copy of the Interim Order attached as Appendix G.

Dissent Rights

Registered Unitholders have Dissent Rights in respect of the BBU Arrangement Resolution and Registered Shareholders have Dissent Rights as to the BBUC Arrangement Resolution.

Pursuant to the BBU LPA Amendment, each Registered Unitholder may exercise Dissent Rights. Each Dissenting Unitholder is entitled to be paid the fair value (as set out in Section 7.6 the BBU LPA Amendment) of the holder’s BBU units, provided that the holder duly dissents to the BBU Arrangement Resolution, and the Arrangement becomes effective. Non-Registered Unitholders are not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, each Registered Shareholder may exercise Dissent Rights under Section 237 to 247 of the BCBCA as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order. Each Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to be paid the fair value (as set out in Article 4 of the Plan of Arrangement) of the holder’s BBUC exchangeable shares, provided that the holder duly dissents to the BBUC Arrangement Resolution, and the Arrangement becomes effective. A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent with respect to its BBUC exchangeable shares should be aware that only Registered Shareholders are entitled to exercise Dissent Rights. A Registered Shareholder such as an Intermediary who holds BBUC exchangeable shares as nominee for Non-Registered Shareholders, some of whom wish to dissent, will be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights on behalf of such Non-Registered Shareholders with respect to the BBUC exchangeable shares held for such Non-Registered Shareholders.

See “Dissent Rights”. For a description of certain Canadian and U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the exercise of Dissent Rights, please see “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

For Canadian federal income tax purposes, Eligible Canadian Holders who pursuant to the Arrangement (i) exchange their BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares for Class A Consideration that includes Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Notes or (ii) transfer their BBU units for solely Corporation Class A Shares will, absent a Tax Election, be considered to have disposed of such BBU units or BBUC exchangeable share (as the case may be) for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of such securities exchanged. Such Eligible Canadian Holders may jointly elect with the Corporation pursuant to subsection 85(1) (or in the case of Eligible Canadian Holders that are partnerships, subsection 85(2)) of the Tax Act to effect such exchange on a fully or partially tax-deferred basis. Resident Holders that dispose of BBUC exchangeable shares for solely Corporation Class A Shares will generally be entitled to the automatic rollover provisions in section 85.1 of the Tax Act, unless such Resident Holder chooses to recognize a capital gain or capital loss on the exchange.

Non-Resident Holders will generally not be subject to Canadian income tax upon their exchange of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares for a Corporation Class A Share provided that such BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares are not “taxable Canadian property” to such Non-Resident Holders. The Corporation does not expect the Corporation Class A Shares to be “taxable Canadian property”.

For a more complete discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement, see “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”. The Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement are complex, and holders of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the exchanges of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement are expected to qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code, although this is not free from doubt, as discussed in greater detail in “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement are complex, and holders of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

Risk Factors

Securityholders should be aware that there are various risks in connection with the Arrangement and the ownership of securities of the Corporation after the Arrangement. In deciding whether to approve the BBU Transaction Resolutions and the BBUC Arrangement Resolution and the other matters, Securityholders should carefully consider the risk factors described in the Circular.

See “Risk Factors”.

Voting Information

Notice and Access

BBU and BBUC are using the Notice and Access provisions of National Instrument 54-101 — Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer and National Instrument 51-102 — Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“Notice and Access”) to provide meeting materials electronically to Registered Unitholders and Non-Registered Unitholders, and Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders.

Instead of mailing meeting materials to Securityholders, we have posted this Circular and a form of proxy or voting instruction form for each Meeting on our website at www.bbu.brookfield.com under “Corporate Reorganization”, as well as on BBU’s and BBUC’s SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca and BBU’s and BBUC’s EDGAR profiles at www.sec.gov/edgar. BBU has sent the Notice of Special Meeting of Unitholders, together with a form of proxy or voting instruction form (collectively, the “BBU Notice Package”), to all Unitholders, and BBUC has sent the Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders, together with a form of proxy or voting instruction form (collectively, the “BBUC Notice Package”), to all Shareholders, each informing their respective Unitholders or Shareholders that this Circular is available online and explaining how this Circular may be accessed.

BBU and BBUC will not directly send the BBU Notice Package or BBUC Notice Package to Non-Registered Unitholders or Non-Registered Shareholders. Instead, BBU and BBUC will pay Intermediaries to forward the BBU Notice Package and BBUC Notice Package to all such Non-Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Unitholders.

BBU and BBUC have elected to utilize Notice and Access because it allows for a reduction in the use of printed paper materials, is consistent with our focus on sustainability and results in significantly lower printing and mailing costs in connection with the Meetings.

No Unitholders or Shareholders will receive a paper copy of this Circular unless they have provided standing instructions to their broker to receive the Circular or they contact us at 1-866-989-0311 or bbu.enquiries@brookfield.com. In such cases, we will mail a paper copy of this Circular within three Business Days of any request, provided the request is made before the date of the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable, or any adjournment thereof. To ensure receipt of a paper copy in advance of the voting deadline, we must receive your request before 9:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on December 30, 2025.

Failure to register the proxyholder with TSX Trust will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number to participate in the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable, and only being able to attend as a guest. Guests will be able to listen to the Meetings but will not be able to ask questions or vote.

How do I vote?

Unitholders and Shareholders can vote in one of two ways, as follows:

by submitting your proxy (by internet, by mail, by e-mail, by fax or by telephone) or voting instruction form by following the instructions on their voting instruction form prior to the Proxy Deadline for the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable; or

during the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable, by online ballot through the live webcast platform.

See “General Proxy Matters” for more information.

Principal Holders of Securities Entitled to Vote

The following table presents information regarding the beneficial ownership of the securities entitled to vote at either Meeting, as of the Record Date, by persons or corporations that beneficially own, exercise control or direction over, have contractual arrangements such as options to acquire, or otherwise hold securities entitled to vote at a Meeting carrying more than 10% of the votes attached to any such class of outstanding securities. The percentages shown are based on 88,675,931 BBU units, 69,996,733 BBUC exchangeable shares and 1 BBUC class B share outstanding as at November 25, 2025. The BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares held by the principal securityholders do not entitle such securityholders to different voting rights than those of other holders of the BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares, respectively. However, the BBUC exchangeable shares and the BBUC class B shares have different voting rights. Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares hold a 25% voting interest in BBUC and holders of the BBUC class B shares hold a 75% voting interest in BBUC.

Notes:

(a)

Brookfield Corporation holds BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Included in the BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares that Brookfield and its related parties beneficially own are 43,333,752 BBU units and 10,317,747 BBUC exchangeable shares held by subsidiaries of BWS. The Brookfield Holders have agreed that all decisions to be made by subsidiaries of BWS with respect to the voting of the BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares held by subsidiaries of BWS will be made jointly by mutual agreement of the applicable BWS subsidiary and Brookfield Corporation. BAM Class B Partners Inc. is the trustee of BAM Partners Trust, a trust established under the laws of Ontario, and the sole owner of all of the class B limited voting shares of Brookfield Corporation, which entitle BAM Partners Trust to appoint one half of the board of directors of Brookfield Corporation and, as such, BAM Partners Trust may be deemed to indirectly control the decisions of Brookfield Corporation regarding voting and disposition of the securities of our group held by Brookfield. However, BAM Partners and the BAM Partnership expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities. See “Information Concerning the Corporation—Principal Securityholders”.

(b)

In addition, the Brookfield Holders as at November 25, 2025 held 47,244,876 BBUC exchangeable shares and 51,599,716 REUs. Assuming the exchange of all BBUC exchangeable shares and REUs held by the Brookfield Holders into BBU units, the Brookfield Holders would hold 142,552,877 BBU units, or 76% of the then-outstanding BBU units.

(c)

Holding LP, which is controlled by BBU, which itself is controlled by Brookfield, indirectly holds all of the issued and outstanding BBUC class B shares, having a 75% voting interest in BBUC, and all of the issued and outstanding BBUC class C shares, which entitle BBU to all of the residual value in BBUC after payment in full of the amount due to holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and BBUC class B shares and subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred shares. Together, the Brookfield Holders and BBU hold an approximate 92% voting interest in BBUC.

THE ARRANGEMENT

Background to the Arrangement

Management and the Boards regularly review operational and strategic opportunities to improve the competitive positioning of BBU and BBUC and to maximize value for their respective investors. In connection with these reviews, management and the Boards evaluate potential transactions and reorganizations that would further BBU and BBUC’s respective strategic objectives. Beginning at the annual business planning session for BBU and BBUC in January 2025, management began to explore an initiative to simplify the organizational structure of BBU and BBUC by converting two publicly traded entities into one publicly traded Canadian corporation. Management and the Boards discussed that such an effort should eliminate complexity, improve trading liquidity, broaden investment appeal for global investors, and reduce certain duplicative costs and expenses associated with administering two separate publicly traded entities.

At their regularly scheduled meetings in July 2025, the Boards received an update from management regarding a potential reorganization. At this time, management indicated that it would continue to progress this initiative and may come back to the Boards for further discussion and to potentially seek approvals prior to the next regularly scheduled meetings in November 2025. At the beginning of September 2025, management contacted the Boards with a proposal to convert BBU and BBUC into one publicly traded Canadian corporation. At this time, management explained the proposal in more detail and the rationale for the proposed reorganization, as well as the approval process, the timing thereof and next steps. Management indicated that it was working towards announcing an intention to complete the proposed corporate conversion as part of Investor Day for BBU and BBUC scheduled for September 25, 2025. Following management’s presentation, the Boards determined that, having regard to the circumstances and applicable laws, special committees of independent directors of BBUC and the general partner of BBU should be constituted to review, supervise, consider, negotiate and make recommendations, as applicable, to the BBU Board and the BBUC Board, respectively, in connection with the proposed reorganization.

On September 3, 2025, the BBU Board authorized the formation of the BBU Special Committee, composed of two directors, John Lacey and Patricia Zuccotti, with a mandate to, amongst other things, review the terms, conditions, agreements and all other matters related to the proposed reorganization, determine if the reorganization was in the best interests of BBU, and, if deemed advisable, make recommendations to the BBU Board with respect thereto.

On September 3, 2025, the BBUC Board authorized the formation of the BBUC Special Committee, composed of three directors, John Lacey, David Court and Patricia Zuccotti, with a mandate to, amongst other things, review the terms, conditions, agreements and all other matters related to the proposed reorganization, determine if the reorganization was in the best interests of BBUC, and, if deemed advisable, make recommendations to the BBUC Board with respect thereto.

On September 3, 2025, each of the Special Committees determined that Origin was qualified and independent within the meaning of MI 61-101 and Origin was retained (a) by BBU to provide financial advice to the BBU Special Committee and to deliver to the BBU Special Committee an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the proposed reorganization to the Public Holders (as defined in the Origin Fairness Opinion) of BBU units and (b) by BBUC to provide financial advice to the BBUC Special Committee and to deliver to the BBU Special Committee an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the proposed reorganization to the Public Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares.

On September 3, 2025, the Special Committees retained Stikeman Elliott LLP (“Stikeman”) as their independent Canadian legal counsel, after confirming with Stikeman that it had no legal conflict that would prevent it from acting as counsel to the Special Committees in respect of the proposed reorganization, including advice regarding applicable duties and responsibilities of the Special Committees. The Special Committees requested that Stikeman advise as to the application of MI 61-101 to the proposed reorganization.

On September 4, 2025, the Special Committees held an initial meeting with management to receive a preliminary overview of the material terms of the proposed reorganization. At this meeting, the Special Committees received a presentation from representatives of Origin that summarized certain preliminary observations and key considerations in respect of the proposed reorganization and described Origin’s proposed methodology for reviewing the proposed reorganization.

On September 10, 2025 and September 17, 2025, the Special Committees met with management to receive an update on the terms of the proposed reorganization and related matters. At these meetings, the Special Committees also received a presentation from representatives of Origin that contained certain financial advice and summarized their progress in analyzing the financial aspects of the proposed reorganization.

On September 24, 2025, the Special Committees met with management to review the proposed definitive terms of the Arrangement and related matters, including proposed timing for finalizing the Arrangement Agreement and related disclosure documents. At this meeting, the Special Committees met with representatives of Origin to receive a report on the fairness of the Arrangement and to discuss the financial aspects of the Arrangement, its potential capital market implications and Origin’s preparedness for providing an opinion to the Special Committees concerning the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be offered to Public Holders pursuant to the Arrangement.

The Special Committees discussed and considered the relative benefits and risks of the Arrangement, including those set out below under “The Arrangement—Reasons for The Arrangement”. After having considered and taken into account such presentation and such other matters considered relevant, including the factors, advice and opinions received from management of BBU and BBUC (pursuant to the Master Services Agreement) and the respective external advisors of BBU, BBUC and the Special Committees regarding the Arrangement, the Special Committees unanimously agreed that they would recommended that the Boards approve the Arrangement in principle.

Immediately following the meetings of the Special Committees, on September 24, 2025, the Boards held a meeting with management, Origin and Stikeman in attendance. At this meeting, the Boards received an updated presentation from management on the Arrangement and reviewed a press release that management proposed to disseminate to the market the following day. After management presented, Origin delivered a presentation on its independent financial advisory work and Origin’s views on the fairness of the Arrangement, as discussed with the Special Committees at their meetings earlier that day. The Boards then received the formal recommendations from the Special Committees to proceed with approving the Arrangement in principle and the reasons for their recommendations. After careful consideration, the Boards unanimously resolved to approve the Arrangement in principle.

On September 25, 2025, following the conclusion of the meetings of the Boards and the Special Committees, BBU and BBUC jointly announced their intention to proceed with the Arrangement via press release.

The Special Committees met again with management on September 29, 2025 and October 8, 2025 to discuss investor and analyst reactions to the Arrangement and the status of the Arrangement Agreement and related disclosure documents. From October 8, 2025 to November 4, 2025, management continued to work with external advisors of BBU, BBUC and the Special Committees to finalize the Arrangement, the Arrangement Agreement and the related disclosure documents. Substantially final versions of such documents were shared with members of the Special Committees and the Boards on October 30, 2025.

On November 4, 2025, the Special Committees met again to consider the Arrangement, the Arrangement Agreement and the related disclosure documents. At this meeting, Origin delivered to the Special Committees an oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in the written Origin Fairness Opinion) to the effect that, as of November 4, 2025, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications to be set forth in the Origin Fairness Opinion that the consideration to be received by Public Holders (as defined in the Origin Fairness Opinion) of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Securityholders.

The Special Committees once again discussed and considered the relevant benefits and risk of the Arrangement, including those set out below under “The Arrangement—Reasons for the Arrangement”. After having considered and taken into account Origin’s financial advice, oral opinion and such other matters considered relevant, including the factors, advice and opinions received from management of BBU and BBUC (pursuant to the Master Services Agreement), Origin and the respective other external advisors of BBU, BBUC and the Special Committees regarding the Arrangement, the Special Committees unanimously recommended that the Boards approve the Arrangement.

Immediately following the meetings of the Special Committees, on November 4, 2025, the Boards met to receive the recommendation of the Special Committees and the financial advice and oral opinion of Origin described above and to consider the Arrangement. The Boards were provided with an overview of the Arrangement. The Special Committees’ recommendations and the reasons for their recommendations were then presented to the Boards. After careful consideration, the Boards unanimously resolved to approve the Arrangement.

On November 6, 2025, BBU and BBUC entered into the Arrangement Agreement and the other definitive transaction documents and jointly announced the Arrangement via press release alongside the release of BBU and BBUC’s earnings results for the third quarter of 2025.

Details of the Arrangement

If the Arrangement is completed, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the BBU LPA Amendment and the REU Note Agreement, (i) Unitholders will receive from the Corporation one (1) Corporation Class A Share for each BBU unit held as of the Effective Date; (ii) Shareholders will receive from the Corporation one (1) Corporation Class A Share for each BBUC exchangeable share held as of the Effective Date; (iii) each holder of an REU will receive from the Corporation one (1) Corporation Class A Share for each REU held as of the Effective Date; (iv) a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management will receive from the Corporation one (1) Corporation Special Share for each Special LP Unit held as of the Effective Date; and (v) Brookfield Corporation, in exchange for the BBU General Partner Share, will receive from the Corporation three (3) Corporation Class B Shares, resulting in Brookfield holding one (1) Corporation Class B Share for each BBU GP unit held by the BBU General Partner as of the Effective Date.

Subject to TSX and NYSE approval, the Corporation Class A Shares will be listed on the TSX and NYSE and trade under the same “BBUC” symbol. Each of BBU and BBUC will be delisted and cease to be a reporting issuer.

The BBU Board has unanimously recommended that Unitholders vote in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions and the BBUC Board has unanimously recommended that Shareholders vote in favor of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution.

Origin Fairness Opinion

John Lacey, the Lead Independent Director for BBU and BBUC, initially contacted Origin regarding a potential advisory assignment in August 2025, and Origin was formally engaged by the Special Committees through an agreement between BBU, BBUC and Origin dated September 3, 2025. The terms of the engagement agreement provide that Origin is to be paid an engagement fee, monthly work fees and a fixed fee for delivery of the Origin Fairness Opinion (regardless of its conclusion or whether any transaction is completed). Origin’s fees are not contingent on the conclusions reached in the Origin Fairness Opinion or the completion of the Arrangement. In addition, Origin is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees of its counsel McCarthy Tétrault LLP, and to be indemnified by BBU and BBUC, jointly and severally, in certain circumstances.

The Origin Fairness Opinion represents the opinion of Origin and the form and content of the Origin Fairness Opinion were approved for release by a committee of its managing directors, each of whom is experienced in merger, acquisition and fairness opinion matters.

The Origin Fairness Opinion states that, in the opinion of Origin, as at November 4, 2025 and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications described therein, the consideration to be received by the Public Holders (as defined in the Origin Fairness Opinion) of BBU units and by the Public Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Securityholders.

The Origin Fairness Opinion was rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at November 4, 2025 and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of BBU, BBUC and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the information obtained by Origin and as represented to Origin in discussions with management and Brookfield. In its analysis and in preparing the Origin Fairness Opinion, Origin made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Origin or any party involved in the Arrangement.

The full text of the Origin Fairness Opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, information reviewed and matters considered, and the limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken in connection with the Origin Fairness Opinion, is attached to this Circular as Appendix H. The summary of the Origin Fairness Opinion described in this Circular is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Origin Fairness Opinion. The Origin Fairness Opinion is not to be construed as a recommendation to any Securityholder as to whether to vote in favor of the Arrangement.

See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Holders Resident in Canada—Transfer of BBU Units to the Corporation (including pursuant to the Corporation exercising its overriding call right)—Tax Election”.

Notwithstanding that the Corporation has received a Unitholder Notice from an Eligible Canadian Holder of BBU units, further actions must be taken by such holder to make a Tax Election. For more information and instructions on the Tax Election procedure, such holders should consult the tax information on our website at https://bbu.brookfield.com under “Corporate Reorganization”. See also “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Holders Resident in Canada—Procedure for Making a Tax Election”.

The Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement, including the tax consequences of making a Tax Election, are complex, and holders of BBU units are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances, including with respect to deciding whether to submit a Unitholder Notice. The Unitholder Notice is available for download under the tax information on our website at https://bbu.brookfield.com under “Corporate Reorganization”. Paper copies will be sent free of charge upon request by contacting us at 1-866-989-0311 or bbu.enquiries@brookfield.com. Eligible Canadian Holders should complete, sign and return the Unitholder Notice to the Transfer Agent in accordance with the instructions set forth therein by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 23, 2026.

Note Alternative

Eligible Canadian Holders of BBU units and/or BBUC exchangeable shares may, at their option, exchange their BBU units and/or BBUC exchangeable shares for Class A Consideration that includes Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Notes. Such holders will be required to take additional steps prior to the completion of the Arrangement, including entering into a Note Agreement with the Corporation that includes a Note Schedule setting forth the number of Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Notes the Eligible Canadian Holder intends to receive, the Specified Purchaser to whom such Eligible Canadian Holder will transfer their Corporation Notes, and the consideration in respect of such transfer. All Corporation Notes will be transferred to the Corporation in exchange for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the result being that an Eligible Canadian Holder that is party to a Note Agreement, together with the Specified Purchaser, shall receive the same aggregate number of Corporation Class A Shares as the Eligible Canadian Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive under the Arrangement. See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Holders Resident in Canada—Transfer of BBU Units to the Corporation (including pursuant to the Corporation exercising its overriding call right)”, “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Holders Resident in Canada—Transfer of BBUC Exchangeable Shares to the Corporation”, and “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Holders Resident in Canada—Exchange of Corporation Notes”.

The Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement, including the tax consequences of entering into a Note Agreement are complex, and Eligible Canadian Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

Eligible Canadian Holders wishing to enter into a Note Agreement with the Corporation should provide written notice of their intention to do so to the Corporation by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 17, 2025. See also “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Holders Resident in Canada—Procedure for Making a Tax Election”.

Exchange Procedures

Upon the Arrangement becoming effective, the existing certificates and DRS statements representing the BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares (other than BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares held by (i) Eligible Canadian Holders that are party to a Note Agreement and (ii) Dissenting Unitholders or Dissenting Shareholders) will represent Corporation Class A Shares without further action required on the part of holders thereof. If and when certificates representing BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares are presented for transfer, such certificates will be replaced by certificates representing the Corporation Class A Shares so transferred (together with certificates representing any balance of Corporation Class A Shares not transferred, as applicable).

Registered holders that require a DRS statement or a certificate representing the Corporation Class A Shares can submit a request to the Transfer Agent online at www.tsxtrust.com, by mail at 100 Adelaide Street West, Suite 301, Toronto, ON M5H 4H1, by email to: shareholderinquiries@tmx.com or by phone: 1-800-387-0825 toll free within North America or 416-682-3860 outside North America.

The Corporation Class A Shares may be uncertificated or represented in the form of one or more fully registered share certificates held by, or on behalf of, CDS or DTC, as applicable, as custodian of such certificates for the participants of CDS or DTC, registered in the name of CDS or DTC or their respective nominee, and registration of ownership and transfers of the Corporation Class A Shares may be effected through the book-based system administered by CDS or DTC, as applicable.

After the Effective Time, each certificate or DRS statement which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares will be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the entitlements which the holder of such certificate or DRS statement is entitled to receive under the Plan of Arrangement.

Intention of Directors and Officers

Management of Brookfield Business Partners, including the directors and officers of the BBU General Partner and BBUC and their respective associates, who, as a group, beneficially own or exercise control or direction over less than 1% of the outstanding BBU units and less than 1% of the outstanding BBUC exchangeable shares, have advised the Special Committees that they intend to vote FOR the BBU Transaction Resolutions at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting and FOR the BBUC Arrangement Resolution at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting.

Intention of the Brookfield Holders

The Brookfield Holders have advised the Special Committees that they intend to vote (i) all BBU units held by the Brookfield Holders FOR the BBU Transaction Resolutions at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting, and (ii) all BBUC exchangeable shares held by the Brookfield Holders FOR the BBUC Arrangement Resolution at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting. See “The Meetings—Principal Holders of Securities Entitled to Vote”.

Intention of Brookfield Business Partners

The subsidiary of BBU that holds the issued and outstanding BBUC class B shares has advised the BBUC Special Committee that it intends to vote the BBUC class B shares FOR the BBUC Arrangement Resolution at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting. See “The Meetings— Principal Holders of Securities Entitled to Vote”.

Expenses of the Arrangement

The estimated fees, costs and expenses of the Arrangement are expected to be, in the aggregate, approximately $5 million. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, BBUC and BBU shall each pay 50% of all fees, costs and expenses incurred directly in connection with the Arrangement.

Material Agreements

Our relationship with Brookfield will remain substantially the same following the completion of the Arrangement. A number of our agreements will be amended to give effect to the Arrangement and reflect that the Corporation will, following the completion of the Arrangement, replace BBU and BBUC as a listed issuer and will directly and indirectly hold all of the issued and outstanding securities of BBU and BBUC. For additional information, see Item 7.B “Related Party Transactions—Relationship with Brookfield” in each of the BBU Annual Report and the BBUC Annual Report.

Master Services Agreement

The Corporation will become a party to the Master Services Agreement, which will be amended to add the Corporation as a Service Recipient thereunder, and to provide that, for purposes of calculating the base management fee thereunder, the total capitalization of our group will be equal to the quarterly volume-weighted average trading price of a Corporation Class A Share on the principal stock exchange for the Corporation Class A Shares (based on trading volumes), multiplied by the number of Corporation Class A Shares outstanding at the end of the quarter (and assuming the full conversion of any securities then outstanding that are convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for, Corporation Class A Shares), plus, without duplication, the value of securities of the other Service Recipients, if any, that are not held by the Corporation, plus all outstanding third party debt with recourse to a Service Recipient, less all cash held by such entities.

Relationship Agreement

The Corporation will become a party to the Relationship Agreement, replacing BBU as the flagship public company for Brookfield’s business services and industrial operations and the primary entity through which Brookfield owns and operates these businesses on a global basis.

Licensing Agreement

The Corporation will become a party to the Licensing Agreement through which Brookfield grants a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Brookfield” and the Brookfield logo.

New Registration Rights Agreement

The Corporation and Brookfield will enter into the New Registration Rights Agreement, which will have substantially the same terms as the BBU Registration Rights Agreement in respect of BBU units held by Brookfield and the BBUC Registration Rights Agreement in respect of the BBUC exchangeable shares held by Brookfield. Under the New Registration Rights Agreement, the Corporation will agree that, upon the request of Brookfield, the Corporation will file one or more registration statements or prospectuses to register for sale and qualify for distribution under applicable securities laws any Corporation Class A Shares held by Brookfield. Consistent with the existing arrangements, we 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.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, each of the BBU Registration Rights Agreement and the BBUC Registration Rights Agreement will automatically terminate.

Rights Agreement

The Rights Agreement provides that, upon an exchange of BBUC exchangeable shares, if BBUC has not satisfied its obligation under its 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 BBUC’s articles to exchange BBUC exchangeable shares for the unit amount or its cash equivalent. See Item 7.B “Related Party Transactions—Relationship with Brookfield—Rights Agreement” in the BBUC Annual Report for more information.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, the Rights Agreement will automatically terminate.

DISSENT RIGHTS

Unitholder Dissent Rights

The BBU LPA Amendment provides Registered Unitholders with Dissent Rights in connection with the Arrangement. Although the BBU LPA Amendment will not be effective until approved by the requisite Unitholders and implemented pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, Registered Unitholders will be able to exercise Dissent Rights in the manner set forth in the BBU LPA Amendment as if it were in force prior to its approval. Registered Unitholders who are considering exercising their Dissent Rights should carefully review the description of such rights set forth in this section as well as Section 7.6 of the BBU LPA Amendment. The excerpt of the BBU LPA Amendment is set forth in Appendix E to this Circular and the full text of the BBU LPA Amendment is set forth in Appendix D of this Circular. Any Dissenting Unitholder should seek independent legal advice, as a Registered Unitholder’s failure to follow exactly the procedures set forth in the terms of the BBU LPA Amendment will result in the loss of such Registered Unitholder’s Dissent Rights.

A Dissenting Unitholder will be entitled, in the event that the BBU Arrangement Resolution is approved and the Arrangement is completed, to be paid the fair value of the BBU units registered in the name of such Dissenting Unitholder. Any Registered Unitholder who properly dissents in compliance with the BBU LPA Amendment will, in the event the Arrangement is completed, be deemed to have transferred their BBU units to BBU and will only be entitled to be paid the fair value of their BBU units, and will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any other payments that would be payable under the Arrangement had such Registered Unitholder not exercised their Dissent Rights. The fair value of the BBU units held by a Dissenting Unitholder will be determined by the Court. This amount may be the same as, more than or less than the value of the Class A Consideration. The valuation will be determined as of the close of business on the day before the BBU Arrangement Resolution is adopted. For a description of certain Canadian and U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a Dissenting Unitholder, please see “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Holders Resident in Canada—Resident Dissenting Unitholders”, “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations—Holders Not Resident in Canada—Dissenting Non-Resident Holders”, “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—U.S. Holders Exercising Dissent Rights Pursuant to the Arrangement” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders— Non-U.S. Holders Exercising Dissent Rights Pursuant to the Arrangement”.

A Registered Unitholder may only exercise Dissent Rights in respect of BBU units which are registered in that Unitholder’s name at the Record Date. In many cases, BBU units beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Unitholder are registered either:

in the name of an Intermediary, or

in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS or similar entities) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

Accordingly, a Non-Registered Unitholder will not be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.

A Registered Unitholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights must provide to BBU a written objection to the BBU Arrangement Resolution. Such written objection must be received from such Registered Unitholder BBU at c/o Torys LLP, Attention: Andrew Gray, at Suite 3300, 79 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5K 1N2, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two (2) days immediately preceding the date of the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time).

It is important that Registered Unitholders strictly comply with this requirement. In addition, a Registered Unitholder who wishes to exercise his, her or its Dissent Rights must not have voted his, her or its BBU units at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting, either in person or by proxy, FOR the BBU Arrangement Resolution (and, for greater certainty, a Registered Unitholder who voted FOR the BBU Arrangement Resolution or who has withdrawn its objection will not be considered to be a Dissenting Unitholder). Further, a vote AGAINST the BBU Arrangement Resolution or an abstention from voting shall not constitute the required written objection as described in this paragraph.

BBU or the Dissenting Unitholder may apply to the Court after the approval of the BBU Arrangement Resolution, to fix the fair value of the Dissenting Unitholder’s BBU units. BBU shall make a written offer to pay the fair value of the BBU units held by the Dissenting Unitholder. Every offer will be made on the same terms to each Dissenting Unitholder.

A Dissenting Unitholder will not be required to give security for costs in respect of an application. On the application, the Court may make an order fixing the fair value of the BBU units of all Dissenting Unitholders who are parties to the application, giving judgment in that amount against BBU and in favor of each of those Dissenting Unitholders, and fixing the time within which BBU must pay the amount payable to each Dissenting Unitholder.

The discussion above is only a summary of the Dissent Rights, which are technical and complex. A Registered Unitholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights must strictly adhere to the procedures established by the terms of the BBU LPA Amendment, and failure to do so may result in the loss of all Dissent Rights.

It is suggested that any Registered Unitholder wishing to avail himself, herself or itself of Dissent Rights seek their own legal advice as failure to comply strictly with the applicable provisions of the BBU LPA Amendment may prejudice the availability of Dissent Rights. Dissenting Unitholders should note that the exercise of Dissent Rights can be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process. Due exercise of the Dissent Rights requires that certain deadlines be observed and BBU intends to enforce such deadlines strictly.

For a general summary of certain income tax considerations for a Dissenting Unitholder, which considerations may be material to a Dissenting Unitholder, see “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Shareholder Dissent Rights

Registered Shareholders have been provided with Dissent Rights in connection with the Arrangement. Registered Shareholders who are considering exercising their Dissent Rights should carefully review the description of such rights set forth in this section as well as Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order. The full text of Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA is attached to this Circular as Appendix E, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, which is attached to this Circular as Appendix G. Any Dissenting Shareholder should seek independent legal advice, as a Registered Shareholder’s failure to follow exactly the procedures set forth in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, will result in the loss of such Registered Shareholder’s Dissent Rights.

The Court hearing the application for the Final Order has the discretion to alter the procedural aspects of Dissent Rights described herein (including timing and delivery mechanics) based on the evidence presented at such hearing.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, each Registered Shareholder may exercise Dissent Rights under Section 237 to 247 of the BCBCA as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order. Each Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to be paid the fair value (determined as of the close of business on the last business day before the BBUC Arrangement Resolution was adopted at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting) of all, but not less than all, of the BBUC exchangeable shares of which the holder is both the registered and beneficial owner, as well as the BBUC exchangeable shares of which the holder is the registered holder and in respect of which it has received instructions to dissent from the beneficial holder(s) thereof, provided that the holder duly dissents to the BBUC Arrangement Resolution and the Arrangement becomes effective.

A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent with respect to its BBUC exchangeable shares should be aware that only Registered Shareholders are entitled to exercise Dissent Rights. A Registered Shareholder such as an intermediary who holds BBUC exchangeable shares as nominee for Non-Registered Shareholders, some of whom wish to dissent, shall exercise Dissent Rights on behalf of such Non-Registered Shareholders with respect to the BBUC exchangeable shares held for such Non-Registered Shareholders. A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent must dissent in respect of all of the BBUC exchangeable shares held by such Shareholder, whether registered or held beneficially.

With respect to BBUC exchangeable shares, pursuant to the Interim Order, a Registered Shareholder may exercise rights of dissent under Section 237 to Section 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement, the Interim Order, and Final Order provided that, notwithstanding Section 242(1)(a) of the BCBCA, the written objection to the BBUC Arrangement Resolution must be received from such Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent by BBUC at c/o Torys LLP, Attention: Andrew Gray, at Suite 3300, 79 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5K 1N2, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two (2) days immediately preceding the date of the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time).

A Shareholder exercising its right to dissent must exercise such right in respect of all of the BBUC exchangeable shares that the Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner of, as well as all of the BBUC exchangeable shares it is the beneficial owner of. A Registered Shareholder who wishes to dissent must deliver the Notice of Dissent as set forth above and such Notice of Dissent must strictly comply with the requirements of Section 242 of the BCBCA. Any failure by a Shareholder to fully comply with the provisions of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, may result in the loss of that holder’s Dissent Rights. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to exercise Dissent Rights must cause the Registered Shareholder holding their BBUC exchangeable shares to deliver the Notice of Dissent.

To exercise Dissent Rights, a Registered Shareholder must prepare a separate Notice of Dissent for him, her or itself, if dissenting on his, her or its own behalf, and for each other beneficial Shareholder who beneficially owns BBUC exchangeable shares registered in the Shareholder’s name and on whose behalf the Shareholder is dissenting; and, if dissenting on its own behalf, must dissent with respect to all of the BBUC exchangeable shares registered in his, her or its name or if dissenting on behalf of a beneficial Shareholder, with respect to all of the BBUC exchangeable shares registered in his, her or its name and beneficially owned by the beneficial Shareholder on whose behalf the Shareholder is dissenting. The Notice of Dissent must set out the number of BBUC exchangeable shares in respect of which the Dissent Rights are being exercised (the “Notice Shares”) and: (a) if such BBUC exchangeable shares constitute all of the BBUC exchangeable shares of which the Shareholder is the registered and beneficial owner and the Shareholder owns no other BBUC exchangeable shares beneficially , a statement to that effect; (b) if such BBUC exchangeable shares constitute all of the BBUC exchangeable shares of which the Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner, but the Shareholder owns additional BBUC exchangeable shares beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Registered Shareholder of those other BBUC exchangeable shares, the number of BBUC exchangeable shares held by each such Registered Shareholder and a statement that written notices of dissent are being or have been sent with respect to such other BBUC exchangeable shares; or (c) if the Dissent Rights are being exercised by a Registered Shareholder who is not the beneficial owner of such BBUC exchangeable shares, a statement to that effect and the name and address of the beneficial Shareholder and a statement that the Registered Shareholder is dissenting with respect to all BBUC exchangeable shares of the beneficial Shareholder registered in such registered holder’s name.

If the BBUC Arrangement Resolution is approved, and BBUC notifies a registered holder of Notice Shares of BBUC’s intention to act upon the BBUC Arrangement Resolution pursuant to Section 243 of the BCBCA, in order to exercise Dissent Rights, such Shareholder must, within one month after BBUC gives such notice, send to BBUC a written notice that such holder requires the purchase of all of the Notice Shares in respect of which such holder has given Notice of Dissent. Such written notice must be accompanied by the certificate(s) or DRS advice(s) representing those Notice Shares (including a written statement prepared in accordance with Section 244(1)(c) of the BCBCA if the dissent is being exercised by the Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial Shareholder), whereupon, subject to the provisions of the BCBCA relating to the termination of Dissent Rights, the Shareholder becomes a Dissenting Shareholder, and is bound to sell and BBUC is bound to purchase and cancel those BBUC exchangeable shares. Such Dissenting Shareholder may not vote, or exercise or assert any rights of a Shareholder in respect of such Notice Shares, other than the rights set forth in Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order.

Dissenting Shareholders who are:

ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their BBUC exchangeable shares shall be deemed not to have participated in the Arrangement and will be paid an amount equal to such fair value determined in accordance with the procedures applicable to the payout value set out in Sections 244 and 245 of the BCBCA and determined as of the close of business on the business day before the BBUC Arrangement Resolution was adopted, by BBUC, and will be deemed to have transferred such BBUC exchangeable shares as of the Effective Time to BBUC, without any further act or formality, and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances; or

ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their BBUC exchangeable shares, will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Shareholder that has not exercised Dissent Rights and shall be entitled to receive only the Class A Consideration on the basis determined in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Plan of Arrangement that such holder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such registered holder had not exercised Dissent Rights.

If a Dissenting Shareholder is ultimately entitled to be paid by BBUC for their Notice Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder may enter an agreement with BBUC for the fair value of such Notice Shares. If such Dissenting Shareholder does not reach an agreement with BBUC, such Dissenting Shareholder, or BBUC, may apply to the Court, and the Court may:

determine the payout value of the Notice Shares, or order that the payout value of the Notice Shares be established by arbitration or by reference to a Registrar, or a referee, of the Court;

join in the application of each Dissenting Shareholder who has not agreed with BBUC on the amount of the payout value of the Notice Shares; and

make consequential orders and give directions as the Court considers appropriate.

There is no obligation on BBUC to make an application to the Court. The Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to receive the fair value that the Notice Shares had as of the close of business on the last business day before the BBUC Arrangement Resolution was adopted at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the vote (unless such exclusion would be inequitable). After a determination of the fair value of the Notice Shares, BBUC must then promptly pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder.

In no case shall BBUC or the Corporation or any other person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of Corporation Class A Shares after the Effective Time.

For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in the Interim Order, no person shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to BBUC exchangeable shares in respect of which a person has voted or has instructed a proxy holder to vote FOR the BBUC Arrangement Resolution.

Dissent Rights with respect to Notice Shares will terminate and cease to apply to the Dissenting Shareholder if, before full payment is made for the Notice Shares, the Arrangement in respect of which the Notice of Dissent was sent is abandoned or by its terms will not proceed, a court permanently enjoins or sets aside the corporate action approved by the BBUC Arrangement Resolution, or the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Notice of Dissent with BBUC’s written consent. If any of these events occur, BBUC must return the share certificates or DRS advices(s) representing the BBUC exchangeable shares to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder regains the ability to vote and exercise its rights as a Shareholder.

The discussion above is only a summary of the Dissent Rights, which are technical and complex. A Shareholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights must strictly adhere to the procedures established in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, and failure to do so may result in the loss of all Dissent Rights. Persons who are beneficial Shareholders registered in the name of an Intermediary, or in some other name, who wish to exercise Dissent Rights, should be aware that only the registered owner of such BBUC exchangeable shares is entitled to dissent.

It is suggested that any Shareholder wishing to avail himself or herself of Dissent Rights seek his or her own legal advice as failure to comply strictly with the applicable provisions of the BCBCA and the Interim Order may prejudice the availability of Dissent Rights. Dissenting Shareholders should note that the exercise of Dissent Rights can be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process. Due exercise of the Dissent Rights requires that certain deadlines be observed and BBUC intends to enforce such deadlines strictly.

For a general summary of certain income tax considerations for a Dissenting Shareholder, which considerations may be material to a Dissenting Shareholder, see “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

CERTAIN LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Completion of the Arrangement

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the conditions precedent in the Arrangement Agreement having been satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived, as applicable, including receipt of the following:

the required approval by Unitholders of each of the BBU Arrangement Resolution and BBU LPA Amendment Resolution at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting;

the required approval by holders of the BBUC exchangeable shares and the BBUC class B shares of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting;

the Final Order; and

the TSX Approvals, the NYSE Approvals and other applicable regulatory approvals, including the ICA Approval.

The Arrangement Agreement provides that, following receipt of the foregoing approvals, the Final Order and the satisfaction (or waiver, if applicable) of the other conditions precedent contained in the Arrangement Agreement, the Parties shall, on a date and at a time to be determined exclusively by BBU, file with the registrar any and all documents (including any documents required pursuant to Section 292 of the BCBCA and such other documents as may be required to give effect to the Arrangement pursuant to Division 5 of Part 9 of the BCBCA) and to exchange such other documents as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the Arrangement and implement the Plan of Arrangement on such date. Upon the closing of the Arrangement at the Effective Time on the Effective Date, the transactions comprising the Arrangement will be deemed to occur in the order and at the times set out in the Plan of Arrangement. See “The Arrangement—Arrangement Agreement—Conditions Precedent”.

Timing

We expect to complete the Arrangement following the receipt of the required securityholder approval, the issue of the Final Order and the receipt of all other approvals. It is anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed in the first quarter of 2026. However, completion of the Arrangement is dependent on many factors, and it is not possible at this time to determine precisely when the Arrangement will become effective.

Unitholder Approval

At the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting, Unitholders will be asked to approve the BBU Transaction Resolutions. In accordance with the Interim Order and the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement, the approval of each BBU Transaction Resolution will require the affirmative vote of Unitholders present or represented by proxy at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting, holding BBU units that in the aggregate represent a simple majority of the outstanding BBU units as of the close of business on the Record Date.

Notwithstanding the approval by the Unitholders in accordance with the foregoing, (a) the BBU Arrangement Resolution authorizes the BBU Board to, without notice to or approval of the Unitholders, (i) amend, modify or supplement the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement to the extent permitted thereby, as described under “The Arrangement—Arrangement Agreement—Amendments”, and (ii) subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, not to proceed with the Arrangement or any related transactions; and (b) the BBU LPA Amendment Resolution authorizes the BBU Board not to proceed with the BBU LPA Amendment if the Arrangement has not been approved.

Shareholder Approval

At the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and BBUC class B shares will be asked to approve the BBUC Arrangement Resolution. In accordance with the Interim Order, the approval of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution will require the affirmative vote of:

not less than 66^2/3% of the votes cast at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting by holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and holders of BBUC class B shares, voting together; and

not less than 66^2/3% of the votes cast at the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting by holders of BBUC exchangeable shares, voting separately as a class.

Notwithstanding the approval by the holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and the holders of BBUC class B shares of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution in accordance with the foregoing, the BBUC Arrangement Resolution authorizes the BBUC Board to, without notice to or approval of any shareholders of BBUC, (i) amend, modify or supplement the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement to the extent permitted thereby, as described under “The Arrangement—Arrangement Agreement—Amendments”, and (ii) subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, not to proceed with the Arrangement or any related transactions.

Court Approval

the calling and holding of the Meetings;

the required Unitholder and Shareholder approvals;

the Dissent Rights;

the notice requirements with respect to the presentation of the application to the Court for the Final Order;

the ability of Brookfield Business Partners to adjourn or postpone either Meeting from time to time without the need for additional approval of the Court; and

other procedural matters.

A copy of the Interim Order is attached as Appendix G to this Circular. The Interim Order sets out how Securityholders and other interested parties may participate in the hearing for the Final Order, which has been set for January 16, 2026.

It is expected that shortly after the Meetings, subject to the approval of the BBU Transaction Resolutions by the Unitholders and the BBUC Arrangement Resolution by the holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and BBUC class B shares at the Meetings, an application will be made for the Court’s final approval of the Arrangement. At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will determine whether to approve the Arrangement. Participation in the hearing for the Final Order, including who may participate and present evidence or argument and the procedure for doing so, is subject to the terms of the Interim Order and any subsequent direction of the Court. Subject to the approval of the BBU Transaction Resolutions by the Unitholders and the BBUC Arrangement Resolution by the holders of BBUC exchangeable shares and BBUC class B shares at the Meetings, Brookfield Business Partners will announce by news release the time and place of the hearing for the Final Order. The copy of the Interim Order is appended hereto as Appendix G.

Any Securityholder or any other interested party who wishes to appear or be represented and to present evidence or arguments at the hearing of the application for the Final Order must file and serve a response to petition no later than 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on January 12, 2026, in the form prescribed by the Supreme Court Civil Rules, with the Court, and deliver a copy of the filed response together with a copy of all materials on which such Securityholder or other interested party intends to rely at the hearing of the petition, including an outline of such person’s proposed submission, to Brookfield Business Partners c/o Torys LLP, 79 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1N2 Attention: Andrew Gray.

At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement and the rights of every person affected. The Court may approve the Arrangement in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit. In connection with the hearing for the Interim Order, the Court was informed that the Final Order will also constitute the basis for an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act for the securities to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement to Shareholders pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act.

Stock Exchange Listing

It is expected that the Corporation Class A Shares will commence trading shortly after the completion of the Arrangement under the symbol “BBUC”.

Canadian Securities Law Matters

MI 61-101

As reporting issuers or the equivalent in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, BBU and BBUC are, among other things, subject to the securities laws of the provinces and territories of Canada, including MI 61-101. MI 61-101 regulates certain types of related party and other transactions to ensure equality of treatment among securityholders and may require enhanced disclosure, approval by a majority of securityholders (excluding interested or related parties), independent valuations and, in certain instances, approval and oversight of certain transactions by a special committee of independent directors. The protections of MI 61-101 apply to, among other transactions, “business combinations” (as defined in MI 61-101). MI 61-101 provides that, in certain circumstances, where a “related party” of an issuer (as defined in MI 61-101) is a party to a “connected transaction” (as defined in MI 61-101), or is entitled to receive a “collateral benefit” (as defined in MI 61-101), in connection with an arrangement that terminates the interests of equity securityholders without their consent, such transaction may be considered a “business combination” for the purposes of MI 61-101 and as a result such related party will be an “interested party” (as defined in MI 61-101). A “related party” includes a director, senior officer and any person holding over 10% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of an issuer.

The Special Committees have determined that no related party of BBU or BBUC is party to a connected transaction or is entitled to receive a collateral benefit in connection with the Arrangement. Moreover, each equity securityholder of Brookfield Business Partners, including Brookfield and its related parties, is entitled to receive either: (i) consideration per equity security that is identical in amount and form (being Corporation Class A Shares) to the entitlement of the general body of holders of equity securities of Brookfield Business Partners, or (ii) consideration for securities of a class of equity securities of Brookfield Business Partners that is not greater than the entitlement of the general body of holders of every other class of equity securities of Brookfield Business Partners in relation to the voting and financial participating interests represented by the respective securities (being the exchange of the BBU General Partner Share by Brookfield for the Corporation Class B Shares and the exchange by Brookfield Asset Management of the Special LP Units for the Corporation Special Shares). As a result, the Arrangement does not constitute a “business combination” for the purposes of MI 61-101 and therefore BBU and BBUC are not required to obtain “minority approval” or a “formal valuation” under MI 61-101 in connection with the Arrangement.

Restricted Securities

As a reporting issuer in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, the Corporation will be, among other things, subject to the securities laws of the provinces and territories of Canada, including OSC Rule 56-501 and NI 41-101.

OSC Rule 56-501 regulates the creation and distribution of “restricted shares” by reporting issuers governed by Ontario securities law. The definition of “restricted shares” includes equity shares to which are attached voting rights exercisable in all circumstances, irrespective of the number or percentage of shares owned, that are less, on a per share basis, than the voting rights attaching to any other shares of an outstanding class of shares of the issuer.

OSC Rule 56-501 provides, among other things, that the prospectus exemptions under Ontario securities law are not available in respect of a “stock distribution” (as defined in OSC Rule 56-501), unless either: (i) the “stock distribution” or (ii) the “reorganization” (as defined in OSC Rule 56-501) that resulted in the creation of the “restricted shares”, received “minority approval” in addition to any other required securityholder approval. OSC Rule 56-501 provides an exemption from the foregoing requirements to obtain minority approval if the stock distribution is of securities of an issuer that was a private company immediately before the completion of the stock distribution or it is a subsequent distribution by such an issuer of securities of the same class.

In connection with the Arrangement, the Corporation Class A Shares, which will be “restricted shares” within the meaning of OSC Rule 56-501, are being created and distributed. The distribution of the Corporation Class A Shares will be exempt from the minority approval requirements of OSC Rule 56-501 because the Corporation will be a private company immediately prior to the Arrangement.

NI 41-101 provides that an issuer must not file a prospectus under which “restricted securities” (as defined in NI 41-101) or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, restricted securities, are distributed unless either: (i) the distribution has received majority approval of the securityholders excluding any votes attaching to securities held by affiliates or control persons of the issuer, or (ii) the “restricted security reorganization” (as defined in NI 41-101) related to the securities to be distributed received prior majority approval of the securityholders excluding any votes attaching to securities held by affiliates or control persons of the issuer.

Following the completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation Class A Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of NI 41-101. BBU has applied for and obtained exemptive relief from future securityholder approval requirements in connection with prospectus distributions of Corporation Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Corporation Class A Shares, pursuant to NI 41-101, to the extent applicable in the future. The exemptive relief order will allow the Corporation to file a prospectus in respect of the Corporation Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Corporation Class A Shares without requiring further approval by Corporation shareholders. The exemptive relief is conditional on, among other things, the BBU Transaction Resolutions and BBUC Arrangement Resolution having been approved by, on a combined basis, a majority of the votes cast by Securityholders other than affiliates and control persons of BBU and BBUC. For purposes of the above calculation, the lower of the number of votes cast FOR the BBU Arrangement Resolution and the number of votes cast FOR the BBU LPA Resolution will be used.

Accordingly, (i) in respect of BBU, voting in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions (either the BBU Arrangement Resolution or the BBU LPA Amendment Resolution) will constitute voting in favor of the Corporation’s ability to conduct future issuances of Corporation Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to a prospectus, and (ii) in respect of BBUC, voting in favor of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution will constitute voting in favor of the Corporation’s ability to conduct future issuances of Corporation Class A Shares or securities that are, directly or indirectly, convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to a prospectus, in each case, without requiring further approval by Corporation shareholders in accordance with NI 41-101.

As of the Record Date, a total of 43,708,285 BBU units and 47,244,876 BBUC exchangeable shares will be excluded for purposes of calculating the securityholder approval threshold described above. See “The Meetings—Principal Holders of Securities Entitled to Vote”.

Completion of the Arrangement is not conditional on satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the exemptive relief order, but without reliance on such relief, future approval of Corporation shareholders might be required in order for the Corporation to be permitted to undertake future issuances of Corporation Class A Shares.

Qualification and Resale of Securities

The Corporation Class A Shares, Corporation Class B Shares and Corporation Special Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement will be issued in reliance on an exemption from the prospectus requirements of securities legislation in each province and territory of Canada. Subject to disclosure and regulatory requirements and to customary restrictions applicable to distributions of shares that constitute “control distributions”, the shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement may be resold in each province and territory in Canada, subject in certain circumstances to the usual conditions that no unusual effort, or no effort, has been made to prepare the market or create demand.

United States Securities Laws Matters

The following discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of U.S. Securities Laws that may be applicable to holders of the Corporation Class A Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement. Further information applicable to U.S. Securityholders is disclosed under the heading “Notice to Securityholders in the United States”. All holders of such securities are urged to obtain legal advice to ensure that the resale of such securities complies with applicable U.S. Securities Laws.

The following discussion does not address the Canadian securities legislation that will apply to the issuance of Corporation Class A Shares or the resale of these securities by U.S. Securityholders within Canada. U.S. Securityholders reselling their Corporation Class A Shares in Canada must comply with Canadian securities laws. See “—Canadian Securities Law Matters” above.

Exemption from the Registration Requirements of the U.S. Securities Act

The issuance of the Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement has not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the U.S. Securities Laws of any state of the United States and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof.

Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act exempts from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act the issuance of securities which have been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of the relevant transaction and at which all persons to whom it is proposed the securities will be issued shall have the right to appear. The Court issued the Interim Order on November 25, 2025 and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the BBUC shareholders and the Transaction Resolutions by BBU unitholders, a hearing for a final order approving the Arrangement is expected to take place on or about January 16, 2026 at the Court at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 2E1 or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. All securityholders are entitled to appear and be heard at this hearing, provided that they satisfy the applicable conditions set forth in the Interim Order. See “—Court Approval” above.

Resales of Corporation Class A Shares After the Effective Time

The Corporation Class A Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be freely transferable under U.S. Securities Laws, except by persons who are “affiliates” of the Corporation after the Effective Time, or were “affiliates” of the BBU or BBUC within 90 days prior to the Effective Time. As defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, an “affiliate” of an issuer is a person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer. Typically, persons who are executive officers, directors or 10% or greater shareholders of an issuer are considered to be its “affiliates”. Holders should consult with their own legal counsel regarding status as an “affiliate”.

Securityholders who are “affiliates” of the Corporation after the Effective Time or who were affiliates of BBU or BBUC within 90 days prior to the Effective Time may not resell their Corporation Class A Shares that they receive in connection with the Arrangement in the absence of registration under the U.S. Securities Act, unless an exemption from registration is available, such as the exemptions contained in Rule 144 or Regulation S. For “affiliates”, Rule 144 imposes additional resale requirements, including volume limitations and manner of sale and notice requirements. Under Regulation S, resales by “affiliates” of the Corporation, otherwise than solely by virtue of their position as a director or officer, also may be subject to additional resale restrictions.

Following closing of the Arrangement, the Corporation will be deemed to be a “successor issuer” to BBU and BBUC under the U.S. Exchange Act, and consequently, the Corporation Class A Shares will be deemed to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act and the Corporation will become subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Exchange Act. As a “foreign private issuer” under the U.S. Exchange Act, the Corporation will, upon consummation of the Arrangement, be required to file and/or furnish to the SEC current and annual reports with the SEC. Such documents will be available electronically on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

The solicitation of proxies hereby is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act, by virtue of an exemption applicable to proxy solicitations by “foreign private issuers” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the solicitation of proxies is being made by or on behalf of BBU and BBUC in accordance with Canadian corporate and securities laws, and this Circular has been prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Securityholders should be aware that requirements under such Canadian laws and such disclosure requirements may differ from requirements under United States corporate and securities laws relating to United States corporations.

Information concerning BBU, BBUC and the Corporation contained in this Circular has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States disclosure standards. Unless otherwise indicated, the financial statements and other financial information set forth herein have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. IFRS Accounting Standards differ from United States generally accepted accounting principles, and the financial statements and financial information presented may not be comparable with financial statements and financial information of similar United States entities that file reports with the SEC.

Prospective investors should be aware that the Arrangement described in this Circular may have tax consequences both in Canada and in the United States which are not described fully herein. Securityholders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal and Canadian income tax consequences of the Arrangement. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CORPORATION

Corporate Structure

The Corporation was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on October 10, 2025 under the name 1559985 B.C. Ltd. and is expected to change its name to a new name that includes “Brookfield” prior to the Effective Date. The Corporation’s head office is located at 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10281 and its registered office is located at 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7. The Corporation has not carried on any active business and its sole issued and outstanding share capital is one Corporation Class B Share issued to BPEG BN Holdings LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield. The chart below provides an illustration of the simplified corporate structure of the Corporation immediately following completion of the Arrangement. Please note that on this chart all interests are 100% unless otherwise indicated and “GP Interest” denotes a general partnership interest. This chart should be read in conjunction with the explanation of our ownership and organizational structure below and the information elsewhere included in this Circular.

Notes:

(1)

The Corporation Special Shares entitle the holder to receive incentive dividends. See “—Share Capital” below for more information.

(2)

The Corporation will become a party to the Master Services Agreement. See “—Relationship with Brookfield” below for more information.

(3)

Holding LP currently owns, directly or indirectly, all of the common shares or equity interests, as applicable, of the Holding Entities. BPEG US Inc., a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management, holds $5 million of preferred shares of each of CanHoldco and two of our other subsidiaries, which preferred shares are entitled to vote with the common shares of the applicable entity. As a result, Brookfield Asset Management indirectly holds an aggregate 1% of the votes of each of the three entities.

(4)

CanHoldco’s interest in the BBUC class C shares is held directly and indirectly through wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Description of the Business

After the completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation will carry on its business through BBU and BBUC. There will be no substantive change to the business of our group in connection with the Arrangement. Our group will continue to serve as Brookfield’s primary public vehicle to own and operate business services and industrial operations on a global basis. The Corporation will be focused on owning and operating high-quality operations that benefit from a strong competitive position and provide essential products and services. The Corporation will seek to build value through enhancing the cash flows of our businesses, pursuing an operations-oriented acquisition strategy and opportunistically recycling capital generated from operations and dispositions into our existing operations and new acquisitions. Like BBU and BBUC, the Corporation’s goal will be to generate returns to securityholders primarily through capital appreciation with a modest distribution yield.

For more information on our business, see “Item 4.B Business Overview” in each of the BBU Annual Report and the BBUC Annual Report, each of which is incorporated by reference in this Circular.

Financial Information

The following financial statements have been prepared in connection with the Arrangement:

(a)

the Corporation’s audited statement of financial position as of October 10, 2025, being the date of formation of the Corporation; and

(b)

the Corporation’s unaudited pro forma financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

Following the completion of the Arrangement, BBU will be the predecessor of the Corporation for accounting purposes and therefore the historical financial statements of BBU will become the historical financial statements of the Corporation. See Appendix I “Corporation Audited Financial Statements” and Appendix J “Corporation Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements”.

Relationship with Brookfield

After the completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation’s relationship with Brookfield will be substantially the same as our existing relationship with Brookfield, and the Corporation will continue to serve as Brookfield’s primary public vehicle to own and operate business services and industrial operations on a global basis.

The Service Providers, which are all subsidiaries of Brookfield Asset Management, will provide services to the Corporation, and the Corporation will accordingly be added as a Service Recipient under the Master Services Agreement.

Additionally, several other important agreements between Brookfield Business Partners and Brookfield will be updated or amended to give effect to the Arrangement. See “The Arrangement—Material Agreements” for more information.

Directors and Executive Officers

Following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation Board will initially be identical to the BBUC Board and will consist of 10 directors.

We also expect that the initial executive officers of the Corporation will be the same executive officers of BBUC.

Please see “Item 6.A Directors and Senior Management” in the BBUC Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this Circular, as well as “Director Nominees” in the BBUC 2025 Annual Management Information Circular, for more information in respect of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation following the completion of the Arrangement.

For a discussion related to our corporate governance practices and director compensation and equity ownership, see “Statement of Corporate Governance Practices” and “Director Compensation and Equity Ownership” in the BBUC 2025 Annual Management Information Circular, which is incorporated by reference in this Circular.

Dividend Policy

The Corporation Board may declare dividends at its discretion. Consistent with the current distribution to existing BBU Unitholders and the current dividend to existing BBUC Shareholders, the Corporation intends to pay a quarterly cash dividend on the Corporation Class A Shares and the Corporation Class B Shares of $0.0625 per share ($0.25 per share on an annualized basis). Dividends on the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares will be subject to the prior rights of the holders of the Corporation Senior Shares and any other shares ranking senior to the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares. In the three most recently completed financial years and in the current financial year, BBU has paid a quarterly cash distribution on the BBU units of $0.0625 per BBU unit ($0.25 per BBU unit on an annualized basis) and BBUC has paid quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per BBUC exchangeable share ($0.25 per BBUC exchangeable share on an annualized basis). See “Information Concerning BBU—Distribution Policy” and “Information Concerning BBUC—Dividend Policy”.

After completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation does not expect there to be any material restrictions (contractual or otherwise) on its ability or the ability of its subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends.

Share Capital

Following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation will be authorized to issue four classes of shares: (i) an unlimited number of Corporation Class A Shares; (ii) an unlimited number of Corporation Class B Shares; (iii) an unlimited number of Corporation Special Shares; and (iv) an unlimited number of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares, issuable in series. No series of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares will be authorized initially.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, and based on the BBU Units, BBUC exchangeable shares, REUs, BBU GP units and Special LP Units issued and outstanding as of the date of this Circular, we anticipate that approximately 210 million Corporation Class A Shares, 4 Corporation Class B Shares and 4 Corporation Special Shares will be issued and outstanding. BPEG BN Holdings LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield, will hold all of the Corporation Class B Shares, having a 75% voting interest in the Corporation.

See “The Arrangement—Background to the Arrangement” and “—Corporate Structure” above.

Holders of Corporation Class B Shares will hold an aggregate 75% voting interest in the Corporation.

Dividends

The holders of Corporation Class B Shares will be entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the Corporation Board subject to the special rights of the Corporation Class A Preferred Shares, the Corporation Special Share dividend rights described herein and any other shares ranking senior to the Corporation Class B Shares with respect to priority in payment of dividends.

The holders of Corporation Class B Shares will rank after the holders of the Corporation Class A Preferred Shares in a Liquidation Event.

Restrictions on Transfer

The Corporation Class B Shares will not be transferable except to Brookfield Corporation or another person controlled by Brookfield Corporation.

Description of Corporation Special Shares

The following description of Corporation Special Shares sets forth certain general terms and provisions of Corporation Special Shares. This description is in all respects subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable law and the provisions of the articles of the Corporation.

Voting

Except as required by law, the holders of Corporation Special Shares will be entitled to receive notice of and to attend but will not be entitled to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation.

Dividends

The holders of Corporation Special Shares will be entitled to receive the following dividends as and when declared by the Corporation Board subject to the prior rights of the holders the Corporation Class A Preferred Shares and any other shares ranking senior as to dividends:

(i)

a dividend on each Corporation Special Share of the same type and in an amount equal to any dividend declared and paid on each Corporation Class A Share, payable on the same date; and

(ii)

quarterly cumulative dividends (“Incentive Dividends”) based on the trading price of the Corporation Class A Shares, as further described below.

The aggregate amount of the Incentive Dividend payable in respect of all of the Corporation Special Shares for a quarter will be equal to (a) 20% of the growth in the market value of the Corporation Class A Shares quarter-over-quarter (but only after the market value exceeds the “Incentive Dividend Threshold” being initially equal to the “Incentive Distribution Threshold” under the Holding LP Limited Partnership Agreement immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement and adjusted at the beginning of each quarter to be equal to the greater of (i) the market value of the Corporation Class A Shares for the previous quarter and (ii) the Incentive Dividend Threshold at the end of the previous quarter) multiplied by (b) the number of Corporation Class A Shares outstanding at the end of the last business day of the applicable quarter. For the purposes of calculating Incentive Dividends, the market value of the Corporation Class A Shares will be equal to the quarterly volume-weighted average price of the Corporation Class A Shares on the principal stock exchange for such shares. The Incentive Dividend Threshold will be adjusted in accordance with the articles of the Corporation in the event of transactions with a dilutive effect on the value of the Corporation Class A Shares, including any quarterly cash dividends above the initial expected amount of $0.0625 per Corporation Class A Share.

If the Corporation determines that there is insufficient cash to pay the Incentive Dividend, the Corporation Board may, in its discretion, elect to pay all or a portion of the Incentive Dividend in Corporation Class A Shares or may elect to defer all or a portion of the Incentive Dividend amount for payment in a future quarter. Dividends to the holders of the Corporation Special Shares in respect of accrued and unpaid Incentive Dividend amounts, as and when declared by the Corporation Board, shall be paid in priority to any dividends on the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares.

To the extent any Holding Entity or any operating business pays Brookfield any comparable performance or incentive distribution, the amount of any Incentive Dividends paid to the holders of the Corporation Special Shares in accordance with the dividend entitlements described above will be reduced in an equitable manner to avoid duplication of distributions.

The holders of the Corporation Special Shares may elect, in their sole discretion, to reinvest Incentive Dividends in Corporation Class A Shares.

Liquidation Rights

Except as required by law, upon a Liquidation Event, the holders of the Corporation Special Shares will be entitled to receive, subject to the rights of the holders of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares and any other class of shares ranking in priority to the Corporation Special Shares:

(a)

first, to the extent Incentive Dividends have been deferred in previous quarters, all accrued and unpaid Incentive Dividend Amounts, before any amounts or assets of the Corporation are distributed to the holders of Corporation Class A Shares or Corporation Class B Shares;

(b)

second, pari passu with the holders of the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares, distributions of the property and assets of the Corporation up to the amount per share of the then regular quarterly dividend (initially $0.0625 per share);

(c)

third, before any further amounts or assets of the Corporation are distributed to the holders of Corporation Class A Shares or Corporation Class B Shares, an amount equal to the Incentive Dividend (see above for an explanation of the calculation of the Incentive Dividend amount) for the preceding quarter; and

(d)

thereafter, the holders of the Corporation Special Shares will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares and any other class of shares ranking on a parity with the Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares in the remaining property and assets of the Corporation.

Description of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares

The following description of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares sets forth certain general terms and provisions of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares. This description is in all respects subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable law and the provisions of the articles of the Corporation.

Priority

Each series of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares ranks pari passu with every other series of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares with respect to dividends and return of capital. The Corporation Class A Preferred Shares are entitled to a preference over the Corporation Special Shares, the Corporation Class A Shares, the Corporation Class B Shares and any other shares ranking junior to the Corporation Class A Preferred Shares with respect to priority in payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets in a Liquidation Event.

Directors’ Right to Issue in One or More Series

The Corporation Class A Preferred Shares may be issued at any time or from time to time in one or more series. Before any series are issued, the Corporation Board shall fix the number of shares that will form such series, if any, and shall, subject to any limitations set out in the articles of the Corporation or in applicable law, determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the Corporation Class A Preferred Shares, as the case may be, of such series.

Voting

Except as hereinafter referred to or as required by law or as specified in the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached from time to time to any series of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares, the holders of such Corporation Class A Preferred Shares will not be entitled as such to receive notice of, to attend or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation.

Amendment with Approval of Holder of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Corporation Class A Preferred Shares as a class may be added to, changed or removed but only with the approval of the holders of such Corporation Class A Preferred Shares given as hereinafter specified and subject to applicable law.

Approval of Holders of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares

The approval of the holders of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares to add to, change or remove any right, privilege, restriction or condition attaching to such Corporation Class A Preferred Shares as a class or in respect of any other matter requiring the consent of the holders of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares may be given in such manner as may then be required by law, subject to a minimum requirement that such approval be given by resolution signed by all the holders of such Corporation Class A Preferred Shares or passed by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2⁄3rds) of the votes cast at a meeting of the holders of such Corporation Class A Preferred Shares duly called for that purpose.

The formalities to be observed with respect to the giving of notice of any such meeting or any adjourned meeting, the quorum required therefor and the conduct thereof shall be those from time to time required by applicable law as in force at the time of the meeting and those, if any, prescribed by the articles of the Corporation with respect to meetings of shareholders. On every poll taken at every meeting of the holders of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares as a class, or at any joint meeting of the holders of two or more series of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares, each holder of such Corporation Class A Preferred Shares entitled to vote thereat shall have one vote in respect of each such Corporation Class A Preferred Share held.

Choice of Forum for U.S. Securities Act Claims

The articles of the Corporation provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, 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 U.S. Securities Act. In the absence of this provision, under the U.S. 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 U.S. Securities Act. This choice of forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce duties or liabilities created by the U.S. Exchange Act and could be found to be inapplicable or unenforceable if it is challenged in a legal proceeding or otherwise.

Prior Sales

Upon formation of the Corporation, BPEG BN Holdings LP subscribed for one Corporation Class B Share for a subscription price of $1,000. The Corporation is not expected to issue any other securities prior to the Effective Date.

Listing and Trading of Corporation Class A Shares

The Corporation Class A Shares will be listed and posted for trading on the NYSE and TSX in connection with the completion of the Arrangement.

There is currently no public trading market for the Corporation Class A Shares. Listing on the NYSE is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the NYSE, and listing on the TSX is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX on or before the first trading day of the Corporation Class A Shares.

Principal Securityholders

Upon completion of the Arrangement, a subsidiary of Brookfield will hold all of the Corporation Class B Shares and a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management will hold all of the Corporation Special Shares. The business address of Brookfield Asset Management is 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10281-0221.

Brookfield Corporation^(2) (3)		142,552,877	⁽⁴⁾		67.8	%

Notes:

(1)

The percentage shown is based on the number of Corporation Class A Shares expected to be outstanding upon closing of the Arrangement based on 88,675,931 BBU units, 69,996,733 BBUC exchangeable shares and 51,599,716 REUs outstanding as at November 25, 2025.

(2)

BAM Class B Partners Inc. is the trustee of BAM Partners Trust, a trust established under the laws of Ontario, and the sole owner of all of the class B limited voting shares of Brookfield Corporation, which entitle BAM Partners Trust to appoint one half of the board of directors of Brookfield Corporation and, as such, BAM Partners Trust may be deemed to indirectly control the decisions of Brookfield Corporation regarding voting and disposition of the shares of the Corporation that are expected to be held by Brookfield following the completion of the Arrangement. However, BAM Class B Partners Inc. and BAM Partners Trust expressly disclaim beneficial ownership, control or direction over any securities of BBU, BBUC, Holding LP or the BBU General Partner and the shares of the Corporation expected to be received in exchange therefor pursuant to the Arrangement. The business address of Brookfield Corporation and BAM Partners Trust is Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 100, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2T3.

The Brookfield Holders include Brookfield Corporation and Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd., a paired entity to Brookfield Corporation. Brookfield and BWS have agreed pursuant to the BWS Voting Agreement that all decisions to be made by subsidiaries of BWS with respect to the voting of the securities held by subsidiaries of BWS will be made jointly by mutual agreement of the applicable BWS subsidiary and Brookfield Corporation. Upon completion of the Arrangement, the BWS Voting Agreement is expected to be amended to provide that all decisions to be made with respect to the voting of the Corporation Class A Shares held by subsidiaries of BWS will be made jointly by mutual agreement of the applicable BWS subsidiary and Brookfield Corporation, other than with respect to any Corporation Class A Shares subject to financing arrangements between the applicable BWS subsidiary and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield Corporation. The business address of Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. is Ideation House, First Floor, 94 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke, HM08, Bermuda.

(4)

Of the 142,552,877 Corporation Class A Shares that the Brookfield Holders are expected to hold following the completion of the Arrangement, Brookfield Corporation will hold 88,901,378 Corporation Class A Shares directly and through wholly-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries of BWS will hold 53,651,499 Corporation Class A Shares.

The Corporation Class A Shares held by the Brookfield Holders will not entitle such shareholders to different voting rights than those of other holders of the Corporation Class A Shares. However, the Corporation Class A Shares and the Corporation Class B Shares have different voting rights. Holders of the Corporation Class A Shares hold a 25% voting interest in the Corporation and holders of the Corporation Class B Shares hold a 75% voting interest in the Corporation. As a result of the foregoing, it is expected that, following completion of the Arrangement, the Brookfield Holders will hold an approximate 92% aggregate voting interest in the Corporation. The Corporation Class B Shares are not transferable except to Brookfield Corporation or another person controlled by Brookfield Corporation.

Executive Compensation

The Corporation has not yet paid any compensation to any of its executive officers or any person expected to become an executive officer of the Corporation. The form and amount of the compensation to be paid to each of the Corporation’s executive officers in any future period will be determined in a manner consistent with that of BBUC. Similar to how BBU and BBUC are currently managed, the Corporation will be externally managed by the Service Providers pursuant to the Master Services Agreement and, as permitted under NYSE rules applicable to foreign private issuers, the Corporation will not have a compensation committee.

For a discussion of executive compensation matters as they will relate to the Corporation upon completion of the Arrangement, see “Report on Executive Compensation” in the BBUC 2025 Annual Management Information Circular, which is incorporated by reference in this Circular.

Board Committees

Following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation will have the following two standing committees of the board, which will assist in the effective functioning of the Corporation Board and help ensure that the views of independent directors are effectively represented:

audit committee; and

governance and nominating committee.

The foregoing committees will initially be comprised of the same members who currently sit on the equivalent committees of the BBUC Board.

The responsibilities of these committees will be set out in written charters, which will be reviewed and approved annually by the Corporation Board. Special committees may be formed from time to time as required to review particular matters or transactions. The Corporation will not have a compensation committee as compensation will be determined by Brookfield, as employer of the personnel who will carry out the management and activities of the Corporation’s business. See “The Arrangement—Material Agreements” for more information on the Master Services Agreement.

While the Corporation Board will retain overall responsibility for corporate governance matters, each standing committee will have specific responsibilities for certain aspects of corporate governance in addition to its other responsibilities, as described below.

Audit Committee

Following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation Board will be required to establish and maintain at all times an audit committee that operates pursuant to a written charter. The audit committee will be required to consist solely of independent directors and each member must be financially literate and there will be at least one member designated as an audit committee financial expert. The audit committee will be responsible for assisting and advising the Corporation Board with matters relating to:

accounting and financial reporting processes;

the integrity and audits of the Corporation’s financial statements;

compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

the qualifications, performance and independence of the Corporation’s independent accountants; and

data protection, privacy and the cybersecurity program.

The audit committee will also be responsible for engaging the Corporation’s independent auditor, reviewing the plans and results of each audit engagement with such independent accountants, approving professional services provided by such independent accountants, considering the range of audit and non-audit fees charged by such independent accountants and reviewing the adequacy of the Corporation’s internal accounting controls.

The Corporation Board will adopt a written policy on auditor independence and audit and non-audit services pre-approval. Under the pre-approval policy, except in very limited circumstances, all audit and permitted non-audit services will be required to be pre-approved by the audit committee. The pre-approval policy will prohibit the auditors from providing the following types of non-audit services:

bookkeeping or other services related to the Corporation’s accounting records or financial statements;

financial information systems design and implementation;

appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports;

actuarial services;

internal audit outsourcing;

management functions or human resources;

broker/dealer, investment adviser, underwriting, securities, or investment banking services;

legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and

certain tax services.

The pre-approval policy will permit the auditors to provide other types of non-audit services, but only if approved in advance by the audit committee, subject to limited exceptions. The pre-approval policy will also address issues relating to the disclosure of fees paid to the auditors.

The Corporation’s audit committee will consist solely of independent directors, each of whom are persons determined by the Corporation to be financially literate within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees. Each of the audit committee members will have the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Corporation’s financial statements.

Governance and Nominating Committee

Following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation Board will be required to establish and maintain at all times a governance and nominating committee that operates pursuant to a written charter. The governance and nominating committee will be required to consist of solely independent directors.

The governance and nominating committee will approve a conflicts management policy which addresses the approval and other requirements for transactions in which there is a greater potential for a conflict of interest to arise. The governance and nominating committee may be required to approve any such transactions.

The governance and nominating committee will be responsible for approving the appointment by the sitting directors of a person to the office of director and for recommending a slate of nominees for election as directors by the Corporation’s shareholders. The governance and nominating committee will also be responsible for assisting and advising the Corporation Board with respect to matters relating to the general operation of the board, the governance of the Corporation and the performance of its board and individual directors. The governance and nominating committee will also be responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Corporation Board concerning the remuneration of directors and committee members and supervising any changes in the fees to be paid pursuant to the Master Services Agreement.

As it is expected that, upon completion of the Arrangement, the Brookfield Holders will hold approximately 92% of the votes to elect the directors of the Corporation, the directors will consult with Brookfield to identify and assess the credentials of appropriate individuals with the skills, knowledge, experience and talents needed to act as an independent member of the Corporation Board, including the need for the Corporation Board as a whole to have diverse perspectives. Brookfield maintains an “evergreen” list of potential independent board members to ensure that outstanding candidates with the needed skills can be quickly identified to fill planned or unplanned vacancies. Candidates from that list and any other candidates familiar to Brookfield or the Corporation will be assessed to ensure the Corporation Board has the appropriate mix of talent, quality, skills and other requirements necessary to promote sound governance and board effectiveness. Individuals who meet those requirements will be recommended by Brookfield to the governance and nominating committee for its review as potential candidates for nomination to the Corporation Board. The governance and nominating committee will also recommend to the Corporation Board the appointment of an independent director as the lead independent director where the Executive Chairman is not independent.

Auditors, Transfer Agent and Registrar

Deloitte LLP is the auditor of the Corporation.

The transfer agent and registrar for the Corporation Class A Shares will be TSX Trust Company, at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (the “Transfer Agent”) and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC) will be appointed to act as co-transfer agent and co-registrar for the purpose of registering Corporation Class A Shares and transfers of Corporation Class A Shares.

INFORMATION CONCERNING BBU

Overview

BBU was established on January 18, 2016 as a Bermuda exempted limited partnership registered under the Bermuda Limited Partnership Act 1883, as amended, and the Bermuda Exempted Partnerships Act 1992, as amended. BBU’s head and registered office is 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda, and its telephone number is +1 441-294-3304. The BBU units are listed on the NYSE and the TSX under the symbols “BBU” and “BBU.UN”, respectively.

BBU was established by Brookfield to be its flagship public partnership for its business services and industrials operations. BBU’s operations are primarily located in the United States, Europe, Australia, Brazil and Canada. BBU is focused on owning and operating high-quality operations that benefit from a strong competitive position and provide essential products and services. BBU seeks to build value through enhancing the cash flows of its businesses, pursuing an operations-oriented acquisition strategy and opportunistically recycling capital generated from operations and dispositions into its existing operations, new acquisitions and investments. BBU’s goal is to generate returns to Unitholders primarily through capital appreciation with a modest distribution yield.

BBU’s sole material asset is its approximate 63% managing general partner interest in Holding LP. BBU serves as Holding LP’s managing general partner and has sole authority for the management and control of Holding LP. BBU expects that the only distributions that it receives and will receive in respect of BBU’s managing general partnership interest in the Holding LP will consist of amounts that are intended to assist BBU in making distributions to Unitholders in accordance with BBU’s distribution policy and to allow BBU to pay expenses as they become due. The declaration and payment of cash distributions by BBU is at the discretion of the BBU General Partner. BBU is not required to make such distributions and neither our partnership nor the BBU General Partner can assure you that our partnership will make such distributions as intended.

BBU’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of BBU units and BBU GP units. The BBU units are non-voting limited partnership interests in BBU. Holders of BBU units are not entitled to the withdrawal or return of capital contributions in respect of the BBU units, except to the extent, if any, that distributions are made to such holders pursuant to the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement or upon the liquidation of BBU as described in the BBU Annual Report or as otherwise required by applicable law. Except to the extent expressly provided in the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement, a holder of BBU units does not have priority over any other holder of BBU units, either as to the return of capital contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions. Holders of BBU units are not granted any pre-emptive or other similar right to acquire additional interests in BBU. In addition, holders of BBU units do not have any right to have their BBU units redeemed by BBU.

For a more detailed description of the BBU units, please refer to the BBU Annual Report, as updated by BBU’s subsequent filings with securities regulatory authorities in Canada that are incorporated by reference in this Circular.

INFORMATION CONCERNING BBUC

Overview

BBUC was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on June 21, 2021. BBUC’s head office is located at 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York NY 10281 and its registered office is located at 1055 West Georgia Street, Suite 1500, P.O Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7.

BBUC was established by BBU as an alternative vehicle for investors who prefer investing in Brookfield Business Partners’ operations through a corporate structure. Each BBUC exchangeable share is exchangeable at the option of the holder for one BBU unit or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BBUC) and structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one BBU unit. BBUC’s goal is to generate returns primarily through long-term capital appreciation with a modest distribution yield and to continue serving as an effective alternative investment vehicle of BBU. BBUC is a controlled subsidiary of BBU.

BBUC’s authorized share capital consists of (i) an unlimited number of BBUC exchangeable shares; (ii) an unlimited number of BBUC class B shares; (iii) an unlimited number of BBUC class C shares; (iv) an unlimited number of class A senior preferred shares (issuable in series); and (v) an unlimited number of class B junior preferred shares (issuable in series).

Each BBUC exchangeable share is intended to provide its holder with an economic return that is equivalent to that of a BBU unit. BBUC therefore expects that the market price of the BBUC exchangeable share will be significantly impacted by the market price of the BBU units and the combined business performance of Brookfield Business Partners.

The holders of BBUC exchangeable share are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the BBUC Board subject to the special rights of the holders of all classes and series of the preferred shares and any other shares ranking senior to the BBUC exchangeable share with respect to priority in payment of dividends. BBUC targets to declare and pay identical dividends on the BBUC exchangeable shares at the same time distributions are declared and paid on the BBU units.

Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares have the right to exchange all or a portion of their BBUC exchangeable shares for one BBU unit per BBUC exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or BBU) or its cash equivalent plus all unpaid dividends, if any (the form of payment to be determined at the sole election of BBUC). BBU may elect to satisfy BBUC’s exchange obligation by acquiring all of the tendered BBUC exchangeable share in exchange for one BBU unit per BBUC exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or BBU) or its cash equivalent plus all unpaid dividends (the form of payment to be determined at the sole election of BBU). In the event that a tendering holder of BBUC exchangeable shares has not received BBU units or its cash equivalent in satisfaction of tendered BBUC exchangeable shares, then such tendering holder will be entitled to receive the equivalent amount from Brookfield pursuant to the Rights Agreement until March 15, 2027. BBUC and BBU currently intend to satisfy any exchange requests on the BBUC exchangeable share through the delivery of BBU units rather than cash.

For a more detailed description of the BBUC exchangeable shares, please refer to the BBUC Annual Report, as updated by BBUC’s subsequent filings with securities regulatory authorities in Canada that are incorporated by reference in this Circular.

Process to Amend the Governing Instruments

The Corporation may from time to time amend, modify or repeal any provision contained in the articles of the Corporation in a manner authorized by the BCBCA.

Under the BCBCA, alteration of the articles generally requires authorization by either court order, by special resolution (a two-thirds (2/3rds) vote of all voting shares cast at the relevant meeting) or by the methods specified in the Corporation’s articles. Certain alterations such as changes to company name or address or a change in directors will not require authorization by the above-mentioned methods. Some 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, the Corporation 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 Corporation’s articles or if neither the BCBCA or the Corporation’s 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.

BBUC may from time to time amend, modify or repeal any provision contained in the articles of BBUC in a manner authorized by the BCBCA.

Under the BCBCA, alteration of the articles generally requires authorization by either court order, by special resolution (a two-thirds (2/3rds) vote of all voting shares cast at the relevant meeting) or by the methods specified in BBU’s articles. Certain alterations such as changes to company name or address or a change in directors will not require authorization by the above-mentioned methods. Some 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 BBUC’s articles or if neither the BCBCA or BBUC’s 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 BBU Limited Partnership Agreement may be proposed only by or with the consent of BBU General Partner. To adopt a proposed amendment, other than the amendments that do not require limited partner approval discussed below, BBU 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, and subject to obtaining the relevant opinions of counsel.

No amendment may be made that would: (i) reduce an established voting percentage provided for in the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement, without the approval of a voting percentage of the Outstanding Units (as defined therein) equal to the voting percentage sought to be reduced (ii) 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 (iii) 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 BBU to, BBU General Partner or any of its affiliates without the consent of BBU General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion. The provision of the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement preventing the amendments having the effects described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above can be amended upon the approval of the holders of at least 90% of the outstanding units.

Subject to applicable law, BBU General Partner may generally make amendments to the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement without the approval of any limited partner to reflect a variety of matters. For more information, see “Item 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association—Description of Our Units and Our Limited Partnership Agreement—Amendment of Our Limited Partnership Agreement” in the BBU Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this Circular.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation will indemnify any present or former director or officer of the Corporation (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.

Subject to any restrictions in the BCBCA, the Corporation 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 the Corporation.

The Corporation may enter into agreements with any such person to provide such indemnification. The right to indemnification includes the right to be paid by the Corporation 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 the Corporation within sixty (60) days after the receipt by the Corporation 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 articles).

Dividends and Distributions

Pursuant to the 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 BBUC exchangeable share entitles its holder to a dividend, in a cash amount equal in value to (i) the amount of any distribution made on a BBU unit multiplied by (ii) the conversion factor determined in accordance with the 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 BBU). The record and payment dates for the dividends upon the BBUC exchangeable shares, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, will be substantially the same as the record and payment dates for distributions on the BBU units.

If the full amount of a dividend for a BBUC exchangeable share is not declared and paid concurrent with a distribution on the BBU units, then the undeclared or unpaid amount of such dividend will 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 dividend has been declared or authorized. Any dividend payment for BBUC exchangeable shares will first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividends for BBUC exchangeable shares due which remain payable, which BBUC refers to as unpaid dividends.

All dividends for BBUC exchangeable shares will be paid prior and in preference to any dividends or distributions on the BBUC class C shares. Share dividends, if any, paid on the BBUC 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 BBUC exchangeable shares to Shareholders and in BBUC class C shares to holders of the BBUC class C shares.

Shareholders are not entitled to any dividends from BBUC other than dividends for the BBUC exchangeable shares.

Distributions to partners of BBU will be made in accordance with their Percentage Interests (as defined in the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement) only as determined by BBU General Partner in its sole discretion. However, BBU General Partner will not be permitted to cause BBU to make a distribution if BBU does not have sufficient cash on hand to make the distribution, the distribution would render BBU insolvent, or if, in the opinion of BBU General Partner, the distribution would leave BBU with insufficient funds to meet any future or contingent obligations, or the distribution would contravene applicable laws.

BBU General Partner has sole authority to determine whether BBU will make distributions and the amount and timing of these distributions.

Liquidation

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Corporation Class A Shares shall rank pari passu with the holders of Corporation Class B Shares and, subject to the Corporation Special Share liquidation rights described in the Corporation’s articles, the holders of Corporation Special Shares, and after holders of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC, and subject to the prior rights of holders of BBUC preferred shares and any other class of shares of BBUC ranking in priority or ratably with the BBUC exchangeable shares and after the payment in full to (i) any Shareholder or holder of 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, Shareholders shall be entitled to one BBU unit per BBUC exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or BBU) or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one BBU 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). 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 Shareholders 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, BBU may elect to acquire all of the outstanding BBUC exchangeable shares for one BBU unit per BBUC exchangeable share held (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BBUC or BBU) plus all unpaid dividends, if any. The acquisition by BBU of all the outstanding BBUC exchangeable shares will occur on the day prior to the effective date of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BBUC.

Upon BBU’s dissolution, unless BBU is continued as a new limited partnership, the liquidator authorized to wind-up BBU’s affairs will, acting with all of the powers of BBU General Partner that the liquidator deems necessary or appropriate in its judgment, liquidate BBU’s assets and apply the proceeds of the liquidation first, to discharge BBU’s liabilities as provided in the BBU 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 BBU’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 BBU’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the partners.

Fiduciary Duties

The directors of the Corporation have three principal responsibilities under the BCBCA and the Corporation’s 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 the Corporation, 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.

The BBUC Board has three principal responsibilities under the BCBCA and BBUC’s 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 BBU Limited Partnership Agreement contains various express provisions that modify, waive and/or limit the fiduciary duties that might otherwise be owed to BBU 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 BBU General Partner 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 Corporation Class A Shares may apply to court for an order where the affairs of the Corporation 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 the Corporation 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 the Corporation to enforce a right, duty or obligation owed to the Corporation that could be enforced by the Corporation 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 BBU Limited Partnership Agreement also stipulates that unless otherwise determined by BBU General Partner, a Person (as defined in the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement) shall not have pre-emptive, preferential or other similar rights in respect to the issuance of a BBU unit.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to BBU, BBUC and the Corporation, the following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable under the Tax Act to Securityholders in respect of the Arrangement.

This summary is applicable only to a Securityholder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, is the beneficial owner of and holds its BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, Corporation Notes and Corporation Class A Shares as capital property and who deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with BBU, BBUC, the Corporation and their respective affiliates (a “Holder”). Generally, the BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, Corporation Notes and Corporation Class A Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder, provided that the Holder does not use or hold them in the course of carrying on a business 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 not applicable to a Securityholder: (i) that is a “financial institution” (as defined in subsection 142.2(1) of the Tax Act) for the purposes of the “mark-to-market property” rules; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” (as defined in the Tax Act); (iii) who makes or has made a functional currency reporting election pursuant to section 261 of the Tax Act; (iv) an interest in which would be a “tax shelter investment” (as defined in the Tax Act) or who acquires or has acquired their BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, Corporation Notes or Corporation Class A Shares as a “tax shelter investment” (and this summary assumes that no such persons hold such securities); (v) that would have, directly or indirectly, a “significant interest” (as defined in subsection 34.2(1) of the Tax Act) in BBU; (vi) to whom any affiliate of BBU or BBUC would be a “foreign affiliate” (as defined in the Tax Act); or (vii) that has entered into or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement” (as defined in the Tax Act) with respect to their BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, Corporation Notes or Corporation Class A Shares. Any such holders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based upon the facts set out in this Circular, the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, all proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and the current published administrative practices and assessing policies of the CRA made available in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary assumes that all Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, but no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed or at all.

This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by judicial, administrative or legislative decision or action, or changes in the CRA’s administrative practices and assessing policies, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ significantly from those described herein. Holders should consult their own tax advisors in respect of the provincial, territorial or foreign income tax consequences to them.

This summary also assumes that BBU is not and will not be a “tax shelter” (as defined in the Tax Act) or a “tax shelter investment”. However, no assurance can be given in this regard.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder, and no representation with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to any particular Holder is made. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to the transactions described herein. Moreover, the income and other tax consequences will vary depending on the Holder’s particular circumstances, including the province or provinces in which the Holder resides or carries on business. Consequently, Holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

For purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, Corporation Notes and Corporation Class A Shares must be expressed in Canadian dollars, including any distributions, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition. For purposes of the Tax Act, amounts denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar generally must be converted into Canadian dollars using the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank of Canada on the date such amounts arose, or such other rate of exchange as is acceptable to the CRA.

Holders Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to Holders who, for purposes of the Tax Act and, at all relevant times, are or are deemed to be resident in Canada (“Resident Holders”).

A Resident Holder who might not otherwise be considered to hold its BBUC exchangeable shares, Corporation Notes or Corporation Class A Shares as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to have such securities (but not its BBU units) and any other “Canadian security” (as defined in the Tax Act) held by the Resident Holder in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. A Resident Holder contemplating making such an election should consult its own tax advisor.

Transfer of BBUC Exchangeable Shares to the Corporation

Class A Consideration Comprising of Only Corporation Class A Shares

Unless a Resident Holder (other than a Resident Dissenter) includes any portion of the gain or loss otherwise determined in respect of the transfer of a Resident Holder’s BBUC exchangeable shares to the Corporation in computing its income for the taxation year in which the transfer occurs, on the transfer of a Resident Holder’s BBUC exchangeable shares in exchange for only Corporation Class A Shares, such Resident Holder will be deemed to have disposed of all such BBUC exchangeable shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the Resident Holder’s aggregate adjusted cost base of such BBUC exchangeable shares immediately before the share transfer. The aggregate adjusted cost base of the Corporation Class A Shares received by such Resident Holder will be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base immediately before the share transfer of the BBUC exchangeable shares so transferred. Accordingly, a Resident Holder will not realize a capital gain or a capital loss as a result of such transfer.

Where a Resident Holder includes any portion of the gain or loss otherwise determined in respect of the transfer in computing its income for the taxation year in which the transfer occurs, the Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) on the BBUC exchangeable shares to the extent that the Resident Holder’s aggregate proceeds of disposition for the exchangeable shares, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the aggregate adjusted cost base of the BBUC exchangeable shares to the Resident Holder immediately before the transfer. The Resident Holder’s proceeds of disposition for the BBUC exchangeable shares will be equal to the fair market value of the BBUC exchangeable shares so transferred. The Resident Holder’s aggregate adjusted cost base of the Corporation Class A Shares received by the Resident Holder on the transfer will also be equal to that fair market value. The adjusted cost base of all Corporation Class A Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately after the exchange will be determined by averaging the cost of the Corporation Class A Shares acquired on the exchange with the adjusted cost base of all other Corporation Class A Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property.

For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses under the Tax Act, see the section titled “— Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Class A Consideration Comprising of Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Notes - No Tax Election

Unless a valid joint election under subsection 85(1) of the Tax Act (or, in the case of an Eligible Canadian Holder which is partnership, under subsection 85(2) of the Tax Act, provided all members of the partnership jointly elect) and the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial income tax law (collectively, the “Tax Election”) is made, a Resident Holder who exchanges its BBUC exchangeable shares with the Corporation for Class A Consideration which includes Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Notes pursuant to the Arrangement will be considered to have disposed of its BBUC shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate of the fair market value at the time of the exchange of such BBUC exchangeable shares. Such Resident Holders will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which such proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the BBUC exchangeable shares so exchanged pursuant to the Arrangement.

The cost of a Corporation Note and Corporation Class A Share comprising the Class A Consideration so received will be equal to the relevant portion of the fair market value of a BBUC exchangeable share attributable to such Corporation Note or Corporation Class A Share (as the case may be) for which it was exchanged at the time of the exchange. The adjusted cost base of all Corporation Class A Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately after the exchange will be determined by averaging the cost of the Corporation Class A Shares acquired on the exchange with the adjusted cost base of all other Corporation Class A Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property.

For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses under the Tax Act, see the section titled “— Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Class A Consideration Comprising of Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Notes - Tax Election

An Eligible Canadian Holder who disposes of BBUC exchangeable shares and receives Class A Consideration which includes Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Notes pursuant to the Arrangement may obtain a full or partial tax deferral in respect of the disposition of a BBUC exchangeable share as a consequence of filing with the CRA (and, where applicable, with a provincial tax authority) a Tax Election.

In general, an Eligible Canadian Holder may select an Elected Amount so as to fully or partially defer realizing a capital gain for the purposes of the Tax Act on the exchange. The “Elected Amount” means the amount selected by an Eligible Canadian Holder, subject to the limitations described below, in a Tax Election to be treated as the Eligible Canadian Holder’s proceeds of disposition of the BBUC exchangeable shares.

In general, where the election is made, the Elected Amount must comply with the following rules:

(a)

the Elected Amount may not be less than the lesser of the adjusted cost base to the Eligible Canadian Holder of the BBUC exchangeable shares disposed of, determined at the time of the disposition, and the fair market value of the BBUC exchangeable shares at that time;

(b)

the Elected Amount may not be less than the fair market value of the consideration (excluding any Corporation Class A Shares) received by the Eligible Canadian Holder as a result of the disposition; and

(c)

the Elected Amount may not exceed the fair market value of the BBUC exchangeable shares at the time of the disposition.

Elected Amounts which do not otherwise comply with the foregoing limitations will automatically be adjusted under the Tax Act so that they are in compliance with such limitations.

Subject to the limitations as described above and set out in the Tax Act, where an Eligible Canadian Holder and the Corporation make a valid Tax Election, the tax treatment to the Eligible Canadian Holder generally will be as follows:

(a)

the BBUC exchangeable shares will be deemed to have been disposed of by the Eligible Canadian Holder for proceeds of disposition equal to the Elected Amount;

(b)

if the Elected Amount is equal to the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the Eligible Canadian Holder of the BBUC exchangeable shares, determined at the time of the disposition, and any reasonable costs of disposition, no capital gain or capital loss will be realized by the Eligible Canadian Holder;

(c)

to the extent that the Elected Amount exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the BBUC exchangeable shares to the Eligible Canadian Holder and any reasonable costs of disposition, the Eligible Canadian Holder will in general realize a capital gain (or capital loss);

(d)

the aggregate cost to the Eligible Canadian Holder of Corporation Notes acquired as a result of the disposition of the BBUC exchangeable will equal the principal amount of the Corporation Notes received by the Eligible Canadian Holder as a result of the disposition; and

(e)

the aggregate cost to the Eligible Canadian Holder of Corporation Class A Shares acquired as a result of the disposition of the BBUC exchangeable shares will equal the amount, if any, by which the Elected Amount exceeds the aggregate of the principal amount of Corporation Notes received by the Eligible Canadian Holder as a result of the disposition, and such cost will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all other Corporation Class A Shares held by the Eligible Canadian Holder immediately prior to the disposition as capital property for the purpose of determining thereafter the adjusted cost base of each Corporation Class A Share held by such Eligible Canadian Holder.

For further details regarding the Tax Election, see the section titled “— Procedure for Making a Tax Election” below.

Transfer of BBU Units to the Corporation (including pursuant to the Corporation exercising its overriding call right)

No Tax Election

The following applies to a Resident Holder who exchanges its BBU units with the Corporation for Class A Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement. Unless a valid Tax Election is made, such Resident Holder will be considered to have disposed of its BBU units for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate of the fair market value at the time of the exchange of such BBU units. Such Resident Holders will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which such proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of the BBU units so exchanged pursuant to the Arrangement.

The cost of the Corporation Notes and Corporation Class A Shares comprising the Class A Consideration so received will be equal to the relevant portion of the fair market value of a BBU unit attributable to such Corporation Notes or Corporation Class A Shares (as the case may be) for which it was exchanged at the time of the exchange. The adjusted cost base of all Corporation Class A Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately after the exchange will be determined by averaging the cost of the Corporation Class A Shares acquired on the exchange with the adjusted cost base of all other Corporation Class A Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property.

For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses under the Tax Act, see the section titled “—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Tax Election

The following applies to a Resident Holder who is an Eligible Canadian Holder. An Eligible Canadian Holder who receives Class A Consideration pursuant to the Arrangement may obtain a full or partial tax deferral in respect of the disposition of a BBU unit as a consequence of filing with the CRA (and, where applicable, with a provincial tax authority) a Tax Election.

In general, where the election is made, the Elected Amount must comply with the following rules:

(a)

the Elected Amount may not be less than the lesser of the adjusted cost base to the Eligible Canadian Holder of the BBU units disposed of, determined at the time of the disposition, and the fair market value of the BBU units at that time;

(b)

(c)

the Elected Amount may not exceed the fair market value of the BBU units at the time of the disposition.

Elected Amounts which do not otherwise comply with the foregoing limitations will automatically be adjusted under the Tax Act so that they are in compliance with such limitations.

(a)

the BBU units will be deemed to have been disposed of by the Eligible Canadian Holder for proceeds of disposition equal to the Elected Amount;

(b)

if the Elected Amount is equal to the aggregate of the adjusted cost base to the Eligible Canadian Holder of the BBU units, determined at the time of the disposition, and any reasonable costs of disposition, no capital gain or capital loss will be realized by the Eligible Canadian Holder;

(c)

to the extent that the Elected Amount exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the BBU units to the Eligible Canadian Holder and any reasonable costs of disposition, the Eligible Canadian Holder will in general realize a capital gain (or capital loss);

(d)

the aggregate cost to the Eligible Canadian Holder of Corporation Notes, if any, acquired as a result of the disposition of the BBU units will equal the principal amount of the Corporation Notes received by the Eligible Canadian Holder as a result of the disposition; and

(e)

the aggregate cost to the Eligible Canadian Holder of Corporation Class A Shares acquired as a result of the disposition of the BBU units will equal the amount, if any, by which the Elected Amount exceeds the aggregate of the principal amount of Corporation Notes (if any) received by the Eligible Canadian Holder as a result of the disposition, and such cost will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all other Corporation Class A Shares held by the Eligible Canadian Holder immediately prior to the disposition as capital property for the purpose of determining thereafter the adjusted cost base of each Corporation Class A Share held by such Eligible Canadian Holder.

For further details regarding the Tax Election, see the section titled “— Procedure for Making a Tax Election” below.

The adjusted cost base of all Corporation Class A Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately after the exchange will be determined by averaging the cost of the Corporation Class A Shares acquired on the exchange with the adjusted cost base of all other Corporation Class A Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property.

For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses under the Tax Act, see the section titled “— Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Procedure for Making a Tax Election

The Corporation has agreed to make a Tax Election with an Eligible Canadian Holder described in sections titled “—Transfer of BBUC Exchangeable Shares to the Corporation—Class A Consideration Comprising of Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Notes - Tax Election” and “—Transfer of BBU Units to the Corporation (including pursuant to the Corporation exercising its overriding call right)—Tax Election” above (a “Tax Election Holder”), at the amount determined by such Tax Election Holder, subject to the limitations set out in subsection 85(1) or subsection 85(2) of the Tax Act (or any applicable provincial income tax law). For further information and instructions, all such Tax Election Holders are urged to refer to the tax information on our website at https://bbu.brookfield.com or https://bbu.brookfield.com/bbuc/overview under “Corporate Reorganization”.

Such information and instructions for the Tax Election will be made available on or about the 90^th day after the Effective Date until April 20, 2027 (the “Tax Election Portal Closing Date”). To complete a Tax Election form, a Tax Election Holder must provide the necessary information to the Corporation in accordance with the procedures set out on our website no later than thirty (30) days before such Tax Election is required to be filed. The information will include the number of BBU units and/or BBUC exchangeable shares transferred, the Class A Consideration received and the applicable Elected Amount for the purposes of such election. The Corporation will make a Tax Election only with a Tax Election Holder, and at the Elected Amount subject to the limitations set out in subsection 85(1) or subsection 85(2) of the Tax Act (and any applicable provincial tax law).

Subject to the information provided by a Tax Election Holder complying with the procedures set out on our website and the provisions of the Tax Act (and any applicable provincial income tax law) and provided the necessary information is received no later than the Tax Election Portal Closing Date, a Tax Election form will be signed by the Corporation and delivered to the Tax Election Holder, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such information by the Corporation, for filing with the CRA (or the applicable provincial tax authority).

Other than the foregoing obligation, neither the Corporation nor any successor corporation shall be responsible for the proper completion of any Tax Election form, nor for any taxes, interest or penalties resulting from the failure of a Tax Election Holder to properly complete or file such Tax Election form in the form and manner and within the time prescribed by the Tax Act (or any applicable provincial tax law), and each Tax Election Holder is solely responsible for ensuring the Tax Election is completed correctly and filed with the CRA (and any applicable provincial tax authority) by the required deadline. In its sole discretion, the Corporation or any successor corporation may choose to sign and deliver a Tax Election form to a Tax Election Holder if the necessary information is received by it no later than the Tax Election Portal Closing Date, but will have no obligation to do so and no assurances can be given that the Corporation or a successor corporation will do so. With the exception of the execution and delivery of completed Tax Election forms within thirty (30) days of receiving the required information from a Tax Election Holder in accordance with the procedures set out on our website, compliance with the requirements for making a valid Tax Election will be the sole responsibility of the Tax Election Holder making the election.

For the CRA to accept a Tax Election without a late filing penalty being paid by a Tax Election Holder, the Tax Election form must be received by the CRA on or before the day that is the earliest of the days on or before which either the Corporation or the Tax Election Holder (or any partner thereof where the Tax Election Holder is a partnership) is required to file an income tax return for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs. The Corporation’s 2026 taxation year is scheduled to end on December 31, 2026, although its taxation year may end earlier as a result of an event such as an amalgamation. The Corporation’s income tax return is required to be filed within six months of its taxation year end. Tax Election Holders are urged to consult their own advisors as soon as possible respecting the deadlines (including, where applicable, provincial deadlines) applicable to their own particular circumstances; however, regardless of such deadlines, information necessary for a Tax Election Holder to make a Tax Election must be received by the Corporation in accordance with the procedures set out on our website no later than the Tax Election Portal Closing Date.

Any Tax Election Holder who does not ensure that information necessary to make a Tax Election has been received by the Corporation in accordance with the procedures set out on our website within the time period noted above may not be able to benefit from the tax deferral provisions in subsections 85(1) and 85(2) of the Tax Act (or the corresponding provisions of any applicable provincial income tax law). Accordingly, all Tax Election Holders who wish to make a Tax Election with the Corporation should give their immediate attention to this matter. Tax Election Holders are referred to Information Circular 76 -19R3 and Interpretation Bulletin IT-291R3 (archived) issued by the CRA for further information respecting the Tax Election. Tax Election Holders wishing to make the Tax Election are urged to consult their own tax advisors without delay. The comments herein with respect to the Tax Election are provided for general assistance only. The law in this area is complex and contains numerous technical requirements.

The BBU LPA Amendment

An amendment to the terms of a partnership interest may result in a disposition of such partnership interest to the holder thereof if the amendment results in the holder’s interest having sufficiently different characteristics and rights such that it is clearly distinguishable form the holder’s interest prior to the amendment. In the context of the Arrangement, counsel is of the view that the BBU LPA Amendment should not result in a disposition of BBU units held by Resident Holders at the time of the BBU LPA Amendment. The remainder of this summary assumes that the BBU LPA Amendment will not result in a disposition of BBU units held by Resident Holders at the time of the BBU LPA Amendment pursuant to the Arrangement.

Exchange of Corporation Notes

Resident Holders who receive Corporation Notes as part of the Class A Consideration and whose Corporation Notes are exchanged with its applicable Specified Purchaser pursuant to the Arrangement and its applicable Note Agreement, will generally realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the consideration received exceeds the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holders of the Corporation Notes. As such Corporation Notes are expected to have a fair market value equal to the cost of the Corporation Notes to a Resident Holder, no gain or loss is generally expected to be realized by a Resident Holder on the exchange of Corporation Notes with its applicable Specified Purchaser. The cost of the consideration received on the exchange will generally be equal to the fair market value of the Corporation Notes so exchanged.

The Resident Holder’s applicable Specified Purchaser who exchanges the Corporation Notes receives from the Resident Holder for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the Corporation Notes so exchanged exceeds the adjusted cost base to the Specified Purchaser of the Corporation Notes. As such Corporation Notes are generally expected to have a fair market value equal to the cost of the Corporation Notes to the Specified Purchaser, no gain or loss is generally expected to be realized by the Specified Purchaser on the exchange of Corporation Notes for Corporation Class A Shares. The cost of the Corporation Class A Shares received on the exchange will be equal to the fair market value of the Corporation Notes so exchanged.

Such Resident Holder and its applicable Specified Purchaser should consult their own tax advisors for advice in respect of the exchange of the Corporation Notes and the consequences to them from such exchanges.

Holding and Disposing of Corporation Class A Shares

Dividends on Corporation Class A Shares

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Corporation Class A Shares will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to dividends received on shares of a taxable Canadian corporation including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit for “eligible dividends” received from taxable Canadian corporations where such dividends have been designated as eligible dividends by the Corporation.

Dividends on the Corporation Class A Shares received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation will generally be deductible by the corporation in computing its taxable income. In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act will treat a taxable dividend received by a holder that is a corporation as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain.

A Resident Holder which is a “private corporation” or a “subject corporation” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay a refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act, generally imposed on taxable dividends received on the Corporation Class A Shares, to the extent that such dividends are deductible in computing its taxable income.

Disposition of Corporation Class A Shares

A Resident Holder who disposes of a Corporation Class A Share (other than to the Corporation) will generally realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of the Corporation Class A Share immediately before the disposition. Any such capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation (or certain partnerships or trusts of which a corporation is a member or beneficiary) will be reduced by the amount of taxable dividends received (or deemed to be received) on such Resident Holder’s Corporation Class A Share, to the extent and in the circumstances provided for under the Tax Act. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant are urged to consult their own tax advisors.

For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses under the Tax Act see the section titled “—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Resident Dissenting Shareholders

A Dissenting Shareholder that is a Resident Holder (a “Resident Dissenting Shareholder”) will transfer its BBUC exchangeable shares to BBUC for cancellation in exchange for cash consideration in an amount equal to the fair value of such BBUC exchangeable shares on the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. A Resident Dissenting Shareholder will be deemed to receive a taxable dividend equal to the excess, if any, of the amount paid by BBUC for such BBUC exchangeable shares (other than in respect of interest awarded by a court, if any) over their paid-up capital for purposes of the Tax Act.

Any dividend deemed to be received by a Resident Dissenting Shareholder who is an individual will generally be included in the recipient’s income for the purposes of the Tax Act. Such dividends deemed to be received by a Resident Dissenting Shareholder who is an individual will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules in the Tax Act normally applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations. Provided that appropriate designations are made by BBUC at or prior to the time the dividend is paid, such dividend will be treated as an eligible dividend for the purposes of the Tax Act and a Resident Dissenting Shareholder who is an individual will be entitled to an enhanced dividend tax credit in respect of such dividend. BBUC intends to designate all deemed dividends arising from the transfer of BBUC exchangeable shares by Resident Dissenting Shareholders to BBUC as eligible dividends for these purposes.

In the case of a Resident Dissenting Shareholder that is a corporation, dividends deemed to be received will be required to be included in computing the corporation’s income for the taxation year in which such dividends are deemed to be received and will generally be deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income subject to the limitations under the Tax Act. In certain circumstances, a taxable dividend deemed to be received by a Resident Dissenting Shareholder that is a corporation may be treated as proceeds of disposition and not as a dividend, pursuant to the rules in subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act. Corporate Resident Dissenting Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

The amount paid by BBUC to a Resident Dissenting Shareholder for Corporation Class A Shares less any amount deemed to be received by the Resident Dissenting Shareholder as a dividend (after the application of subsection 55(2) in the case of a corporate Resident Dissenting Shareholder) will be treated as proceeds of disposition of such Corporation Class A Shares. The Resident Dissenting Shareholder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) on the disposition of their BBUC exchangeable shares equal to the amount by which the Resident Dissenting Shareholder’s proceeds of disposition, net of any costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Dissenting Shareholder of the BBUC exchangeable shares acquired by BBUC for cancellation. For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses under the Tax Act, see the section titled “— Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

A Resident Dissenting Shareholder which is a “private corporation” or a “subject corporation” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay a refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act, generally imposed at the rate of 38^1/3%, on taxable dividends received (including deemed dividends) on the BBUC exchangeable shares, to the extent that such dividends are deductible in computing its taxable income.

Interest awarded by a court to a Resident Dissenting Shareholder will be included in the Resident Dissenting Shareholder’s income for the purposes of the Tax Act.

Resident Dissenting Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors for advice in respect of the consequences to them of exercising Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement, including having regard to the deemed dividend tax treatment resulting from the exercise of Dissent Rights as opposed to capital gains (or capital loss) treatment which would generally be applicable if such Resident Dissenting Shareholder received Class A Consideration or sold BBUC exchangeable shares on the NYSE or the TSX.

Resident Dissenting Unitholders

A Dissenting Unitholder that is a Resident Holder (a “Resident Dissenting Unitholder”) will transfer its BBU units to BBU for cancellation in exchange for cash consideration in an amount equal to the fair value of such BBU units at the Effective Time in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. A Resident Dissenting Unitholder will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to excess by which the amount paid by BBU for such BBU units (other than in respect of interest awarded by a court, if any), net of reasonable costs of disposition, exceeds the adjusted cost base of such BBU units for purposes of the Tax Act. For a discussion of the tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses under the Tax Act, see the section titled “— Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.

Interest awarded by a court to a Resident Dissenting Unitholder will be included in the Resident Dissenting Holder’s income for the purposes of the Tax Act.

Resident Dissenting Unitholders should consult their own tax advisors for advice in respect of the consequences to them of exercising Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

In general, one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized in a taxation year must be included in income. One-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year must be deducted from taxable capital gains realized in that 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 year, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

Additional Refundable Tax

A Resident Holder that is throughout the year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) or at any time in its taxation year a “substantive CCPC” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income” for the year, which is defined to include amounts in respect of net taxable capital gains, dividends received or deemed to be received (but not dividends or deemed dividends that are deductible in computing taxable income) and interest.

Alternative Minimum Tax

Resident Holders that are individuals or trusts may be subject to alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Eligibility for Investment

The Corporation Class A Shares and the Corporation Notes will be a “qualified investment” under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (“RRSP”), registered retirement income fund (“RRIF”), deferred profit sharing plan, registered disability savings plans (“RDSP”), registered education savings plan (“RESP”), a tax-free savings account (“TFSA”) or a first home savings account (“FHSA”) (other than, in the case of Corporation Notes, a trust governed by a deferred profit sharing plan to which contributions are made by the Corporation or an employer with which the Corporation does not deal at arm’s length within the meaning of the Tax Act) (collectively, “Registered Plans”), provided that the Corporation Class A Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” (as defined in the Tax Act, which currently includes the NYSE and the TSX).

100 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of a TFSA, RDSP or FHSA, the subscriber of an RESP or the annuitant under an RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax if the Corporation Class A Shares or Corporation Notes are a “prohibited investment” under the Tax Act for such TFSA, RDSP, FHSA, RESP, RRSP or RRIF. Generally, neither the Corporation Class A Shares nor the Corporation Notes will be a “prohibited investment” for a trust governed by a TFSA, RDSP, FHSA, RESP, RRSP or RRIF, provided that the holder of the TFSA, RDSP or FHSA, the subscriber of an RESP or the annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF, as the case may be, deals at arm’s length with the Corporation for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act) for purposes of the prohibited investment rules in the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation Class A Shares will not be such a “prohibited investment” if they are “excluded property” for purposes of such rules. Resident Holders who intend to hold their Corporation Class A Shares or Corporation Notes in a TFSA, RDSP, FHSA, RESP, RRSP, or RRIF should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing “prohibited investment” rules having regard to their particular circumstances.

Resident Holders who will hold their Corporation Class A Shares or Corporation Notes in a Registered Plan should consult their own tax advisors.

Holders not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and who does not use or hold, is not deemed to use or hold, and will not be deemed to use or hold, its BBU units, BBUC exchangeable Shares, Corporation Notes, or Corporation Class A Shares in connection with a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). This portion of the summary is not applicable to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or that is an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act). Such holders should consult their own tax advisors.

The following portion of the summary assumes that none of the BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, Corporation Notes, or the Corporation Class A Shares are or will at any relevant time constitute “taxable Canadian property” of any Non-Resident Holder. “Taxable Canadian property” of a taxpayer includes, but is not limited to, (i) property that is used or held in a business carried on in Canada and (ii) shares of a corporation or interests in a partnership if more than 50% of the fair market value of the shares or interest, as the case may be, is derived from certain Canadian properties during the 60-month period immediately preceding the particular time and, if such shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” (as defined in the Tax Act, which currently includes the NYSE and the TSX), 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the corporation were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (i) the taxpayer, (ii) persons with whom the taxpayer did not deal at arm’s length, and (iii) partnerships in which the taxpayer or persons with whom the taxpayer did not deal at arm’s length holds a membership interest, directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships.

The Corporation does not expect the Corporation Class A Shares to be “taxable Canadian property” of any Non-Resident Holder and this summary assumes this to be the case. However, no assurance can be given in these regards. See “Risk Factors”.

Transfer of BBU Units or BBUC Exchangeable Shares to the Corporation

No tax will be payable under the Tax Act by a Non-Resident Holder as a consequence of the disposition of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares to the Corporation.

Holding and Disposing of Corporation Class A Shares

Dividends on Corporation Class A Shares

A Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25% on any taxable dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to such Non-Resident Holder on the Corporation Class A Shares, subject to the reduction of such rate under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. If the dividend is beneficially owned by a Non-Resident Holder that is a resident of the United States and is entitled to the full benefits of the Canada-United States Tax Convention (the “Canada-US Treaty”), the rate of withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%.

101 

Disposition of Corporation Class A Shares

No tax will be payable under the Tax Act by a Non-Resident Holder as a consequence of the disposition of Corporation Class A Shares (except for a disposition to the Corporation).

Dissenting Non-Resident Holders

A Dissenting Unitholder that is a Non-Resident Holder (a “Non-Resident Dissenting Unitholder”) will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain, or be entitled to deduct any capital loss, realized by such Non-Resident Dissenting Unitholder on the disposition of BBU units unless the BBU units constitute “taxable Canadian property” and are not “treaty-protected property” (each as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Dissenter at the time of disposition.

A Dissenting Shareholder that is a Non-Resident Holder (a “Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder”) that disposes of BBUC exchangeable shares to BBUC will be deemed to receive a taxable dividend equal to the excess, if any, of the amount paid by BBUC for such BBUC exchangeable shares (other than in respect of interest awarded by a court, if any) over their paid-up capital for purposes of the Tax Act. Such a Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25% on such a deemed dividend on the Corporation Class A Shares, subject to the reduction of such rate under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. If the dividend is beneficially owned by a Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder that is a resident of the United States and is entitled to the full benefits of the Canada-US Treaty, the rate of withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%.

Any interest paid or credited to a Non-Resident Dissenting Unitholder or a Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder in respect of the exercise of Dissent Rights will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax, provided that such interest is not “participating debt interest” (as defined in the Tax Act). Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors for advice in respect of the consequences to them of exercising Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement, including in the case of a Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder, including having regard to the deemed dividend tax treatment resulting from the exercise of Dissent Rights as opposed to the tax treatment which would generally be applicable if such Non-Resident Dissenting Shareholder received Class A Consideration or sold BBUC exchangeable shares on the NYSE or TSX.

102 

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences generally applicable to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below) relating to the Arrangement and to the ownership and disposition of the Corporation Class A Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. This summary is based on provisions of the Code, on the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), and on published administrative rulings, judicial decisions, and other applicable authority, 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 assumes that U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders hold their BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, and Corporation Class A Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This summary also assumes that Section 7874 of the Code will not apply to the Arrangement and certain related transactions. This summary should be read in conjunction with the discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax considerations associated with, in the case of holders of BBU units, the operations of BBU and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of BBU units set forth in Item 10.E “Taxation—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and Item 3.D “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Taxation” in the BBU Annual Report, and, in the case of holders of BBUC exchangeable shares, the operations of BBUC and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of BBUC exchangeable shares set forth in Item 10.E “Taxation—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and Item 3.D “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Taxation” in the BBUC Annual Report. The following summary is limited as described in Item 10.E “Taxation—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the BBU Annual Report, in Item 10.E “Taxation— Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the BBUC Annual Report, and as described herein.

This summary is necessarily general and may not apply to all categories of holders, some of whom may be subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

persons that own (directly, indirectly or constructively, applying certain attribution rules) 5% or more of the BBU units;

persons that own (directly, indirectly or constructively, applying certain attribution rules) 10% or more of either the total voting power or total value of the stock of BBUC;

persons that will own (directly, indirectly or constructively, applying certain attribution rules) 5% or more of either the total voting power or total value of the stock of the Corporation immediately following the Arrangement;

dealers in securities or currencies;

financial institutions or financial services entities;

mutual funds;

life insurance companies;

persons that hold BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares or that will hold Corporation Class A Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale, or conversion transaction with other investments;

persons whose BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, or Corporation Class A Shares are loaned to a short seller to cover a short sale of such units or shares;

U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

persons who have elected mark-to-market accounting;

103 

persons who hold BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares or will hold Corporation Class A Shares through a partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

“passive foreign investment companies”, “controlled foreign corporations”, or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

persons subject to any alternative minimum tax or to the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income;

any Non-U.S. Holder treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the Arrangement is completed;

any Non-U.S. Holder treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as engaged in a trade or business within the United States (other than by reason of owning BBU units);

persons who received their BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan;

persons subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code;

any U.S. Holder that receives distributions on BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, or Corporation Class A Shares other than in U.S. dollars; and

certain U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States.

This summary does not address U.S. Holders that receive cash other than in U.S. dollars upon their exercise of Dissent Rights in the Arrangement, nor does this summary address any holder of both BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares that exercises Dissent Rights in respect of one such interest, but not both. This summary does not address the tax consequences to any Eligible Canadian Holder that enters into the Note Agreement, and such Canadian Eligible Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Corporation Class A Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement. This summary does not address any tax consequences to persons that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having contributed property to BBU in exchange for BBU units, and such persons should consult their own tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the Arrangement, including, without limitation, under Section 707(a) of the Code. This summary does not address any tax consequences to holders of BBUC exchangeable shares who, at or around the time of the Arrangement or otherwise in connection with the Arrangement, exercise the exchange right associated with such shares, nor does this summary address the tax consequences to any person that holds both BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares at the time of the Arrangement. The actual tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Corporation Class A Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement will vary, depending on a holder’s individual circumstances.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares that 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 BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares, other than a U.S. Holder or an entity classified as a partnership (including for this purpose any arrangement or entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

104 

If a partnership, including for this purpose any arrangement or entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares or, upon the completion of the Arrangement, Corporation Class A Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of such partnership. Holders that are partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Corporation Class A Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISERS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARRANGEMENT AND, AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE ARRANGEMENT, THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF CORPORATION CLASS A SHARES WITH RESPECT TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS OTHER THAN THOSE PERTAINING TO INCOME TAX, INCLUDING ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS, OR UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS OR ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

The following discussion assumes that the Arrangement will be completed as described in the Arrangement Agreement and this Circular.

Partnership Status of BBU and the Holding LP

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of the Corporation Class A Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement will depend, in part, on whether BBU and the Holding LP are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to BBU, BBUC, and the Corporation, that, based upon the Code, Treasury Regulations, published revenue rulings, and court decisions, and factual statements and representations made by the BBU General Partner, as of the date hereof, each of BBU and the Holding LP will be classified as a partnership and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. An opinion of counsel with respect to an issue represents counsel’s best judgment as to the outcome on the merits with respect to such issue, is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts, and provides no assurance that the IRS will not assert a contrary position with respect to such issue or that a court will not sustain such a position if asserted by the IRS.

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

Characterization of the BBUC Exchangeable Shares

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of the Corporation Class A Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement also depend, in part, on whether the BBUC exchangeable shares are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, treated as stock of BBUC and not as interests in BBU. BBUC and the BBU General Partner intend to take the position and believe that the BBUC exchangeable shares are properly characterized as stock of BBUC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the treatment of the BBUC 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 BBUC exchangeable shares. If the BBUC exchangeable shares are not treated as stock of BBUC and are instead treated as BBU units, then a holder of BBUC exchangeable shares generally would be expected to be taxed in the same manner as a holder of BBU units.

The remainder of this summary assumes that the BBUC exchangeable shares are and, as of the Effective Date, will be treated as stock of BBUC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Considerations Relating to Section 367(a) of the Code

In general, for a transfer of property by a U.S. person to a non-U.S. corporation to qualify for the nonrecognition of gain under certain provisions of the Code, certain additional requirements under Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder may apply. In determining whether these additional requirements apply to the Arrangement, a U.S. Holder that exchanges BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be deemed to transfer to the Corporation a proportionate share of the assets of BBU and the Holding LP, including the holder’s proportionate share of (i) the stock of CanHoldco owned by the Holding LP; (ii) the stock of U.S. Holdco owned by the Holding LP; (iii) a loan from the Holding LP to CanHoldco (the “CanHoldco Loan”); (iv) the assets of Bermuda Holdco, a Bermuda exempted company that is wholly owned by the Holding LP and disregarded as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (v) the assets of Brookfield BBP Bermuda Holdings III Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (“Bermuda Subco”), the common shares of which are owned by Bermuda Holdco and which is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. With respect to the deemed transfer of stock of CanHoldco, additional special rules may apply to a U.S. Holder that actually or constructively owns 5% or more, by vote or value, of the issued and outstanding stock of the Corporation within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(a)-3(b)(1)(i) immediately after the Arrangement (such U.S. Holder, a “Corporation 5% Shareholder”). These additional special rules will also apply to any U.S. Holder that exchanges BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and is a Corporation 5% Shareholder. This summary does not address the special rules that may apply to any such U.S. Holder, whether of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares (or both), that is a Corporation 5% Shareholder. Such U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement with regard to their particular circumstances. Nor does this summary address any other consequences to U.S. Holders under Section 367(a) of the Code, except as set forth below under the heading “Consequences to U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Qualifies as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code”.

105 

General

Except as otherwise noted, and subject to the limitations, assumptions, and qualifications described above under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and herein, the legal conclusions set forth below under the headings “Consequences to U.S. Holders” and “Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” as to certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders relating to the Arrangement and the ownership and disposition of Corporation Class A Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement constitute the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to BBU, BBUC, and the Corporation. This opinion is based upon and subject to customary assumptions, qualifications, limitations, and representations from the Corporation, BBUC, Brookfield Corporation, BPEG Manager Holdings GP ULC, and the BBU General Partner, as well as certain covenants and undertakings by the foregoing entities. Among other things, this opinion assumes the absence of relevant changes in fact or law between the date of this Circular and the Effective Date. If any of the assumptions, qualifications, limitations, representations, covenants, or undertakings is incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate, or is violated, then the validity of this opinion may be affected, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences could differ, perhaps substantially, from those described in this Circular. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment, but it does not bind the IRS or any court. Accordingly, notwithstanding this opinion, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert a position contrary to one or more of the conclusions set forth herein or that a court would not sustain such a challenge, in which case the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares could differ materially and adversely from the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below.

Tax Treatment of the Arrangement and Certain Related Transactions

BBU, BBUC, and the Corporation intend for the exchange of BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (the “Unit Exchange”) and of BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (the “Share Exchange”), taken together with certain related transactions, to qualify as transfers described in Section 351 of the Code, so that holders of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares generally are not expected to recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the Unit Exchange or Share Exchange, as discussed in greater detail below.

For tax-free treatment under Section 351 of the Code to apply, the Unit Exchange and Share Exchange must not constitute transfers of property to an “investment company”. Under Section 351 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, a transfer of property will be treated as a transfer to an investment company only if, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (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. An interest in an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be treated, in whole or in part, as a stock or security for purposes of this determination, depending on the relative values of the partnership assets that are treated as stock or securities (as defined for this purpose). Whether a corporation is an investment company ordinarily is determined by reference to the circumstances in existence immediately after the transfer in question. However, where circumstances change thereafter pursuant to a plan in existence at the time of the transfer, the determination will be made by reference to the later circumstances.

106 

The potential for the Corporation to be treated as an investment company following the completion of the Arrangement is subject to uncertainty. The tax rules governing the treatment of the Corporation’s assets held through corporate and non-corporate entities are complicated and ambiguous, and there is limited or no authority for applying these rules to complex organizational structures. It is therefore not free from doubt that the Corporation will avoid treatment as 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. Nor is it free from doubt that the transfers of BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, and other assets to the Corporation pursuant to the Arrangement will not result in “diversification” of a transferor’s interests. The relevant U.S. federal income tax rules relating to diversification are ambiguous, and there is limited or no authority for applying these rules to factual scenarios resembling the Arrangement.

It is the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to BBU, BBUC, and the Corporation, that it is more likely than not that the Unit Exchange and the Share Exchange, taken together with certain related transactions, will qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code. Such opinion is based on factual and legal representations made by the Corporation, BBUC, Brookfield Corporation, BPEG Manager Holdings GP ULC, and the BBU General Partner, including representations as to the composition and relative values of the assets transferred to the Corporation pursuant to the Arrangement and certain related transactions. However, none of the foregoing parties has obtained or intends to obtain a ruling from the IRS that the Unit Exchange or the Share Exchange will qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment, but it does not bind the IRS or any court. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge this position or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

The following discussion addresses the U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply to holders of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares (i) if, as intended, the Unit Exchange and Share Exchange qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code and (ii) if, contrary to expectation, the Unit Exchange and Share Exchange do not qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code.

For purposes of the following discussion, references to BBU’s liabilities generally include BBU’s share of any liabilities of the Holding LP, Bermuda Holdco, and Bermuda Subco.

Consequences to U.S. Holders

Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Qualifies as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code

As stated above, it is the opinion of Torys LLP that it is more likely than not that the Unit Exchange (the exchange of BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement) will qualify as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. If the Unit Exchange so qualifies, then, subject to the discussion immediately below under the headings “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” and “Application of Section 367(a) of the Code”, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of BBU units that receive Corporation Class A Shares in the Unit Exchange will be as follows.

A U.S. Holder generally should recognize no gain in the Unit Exchange, except to the extent that (i) the U.S. Holder’s share of BBU’s liabilities assumed or deemed to be assumed by the Corporation pursuant to the Arrangement exceeds the U.S. Holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the holder’s BBU units or (ii) the U.S. Holder recognizes gain by reason of Section 367(a) of the Code, as discussed in greater detail below. The BBU General Partner does not expect BBU to have any material liabilities outstanding as of the Effective Date, and the BBU General Partner does not expect any U.S. Holder that is not a Corporation 5% Shareholder to recognize any gain by reason of Section 367(a) of the Code. As a result, the BBU General Partner does not expect any U.S. Holder (with the possible exception of a Corporation 5% Shareholder) to recognize gain in the Unit Exchange.

107 

A U.S. Holder will recognize no loss in the Unit Exchange.

A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Corporation Class A Shares received in the Unit Exchange generally is expected to be the same as the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BBU units exchanged therefor, reduced by the amount of the U.S. Holder’s share of BBU’s liabilities assumed or deemed to be assumed by the Corporation pursuant to the Arrangement, and increased by the amount of gain, if any, recognized upon the exchange. As stated above, the BBU General Partner does not expect BBU to have any material liabilities outstanding as of the Effective Date, and the BBU General Partner does not expect any U.S. Holder (that is not a Corporation 5% Shareholder) to recognize any gain by reason of Section 367(a) of the Code.

A U.S. Holder generally will have a holding period for the Corporation Class A Shares received in the Unit Exchange that includes its holding period for the BBU units surrendered in exchange therefor. However, to the extent a U.S. Holder is treated as receiving Corporation Class A Shares in exchange for the holder’s share of certain property of BBU, the Holding LP, Bermuda Holdco, or Bermuda Subco described in Section 751 of the Code that is neither a capital asset nor a Section 1231 asset (as defined in the Code), IRS guidance indicates that the holding period of such Corporation Class A Shares will begin on the day following the Effective Date. The BBU General Partner does not expect BBU, the Holding LP, Bermuda Holdco, or Bermuda Subco to have any such property described in Section 751 of the Code, and therefore these special rules are not expected to apply. U.S. Holders of BBU units are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the implications of the foregoing rules, as well as the implications of certain “split holding period” rules with respect to partnership interests, in determining their holding period in Corporation Class A Shares received in the Unit Exchange.

Immediately prior to the Effective Date, a U.S. Holder generally will have a tax basis in its BBU units equal to the sum of (i) the amount of cash paid for the BBU units and (ii) the holder’s share of BBU’s liabilities, if any. That basis will be increased by the holder’s share of BBU’s income and by increases in the holder’s share of BBU’s liabilities, if any. That basis will be decreased, but not below zero, by distributions the holder receives from BBU, by the holder’s share of BBU’s losses, and by any decrease in the holder’s share of BBU’s liabilities. Under applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, a partner in a partnership has a single, or “unitary”, tax basis in his or her partnership interest. As a result, any amount a U.S. Holder pays to acquire additional BBU units will be averaged with the adjusted tax basis of BBU units owned by the holder prior to the acquisition of such additional BBU units. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult a tax adviser regarding the calculation of the holder’s basis in BBU units, for the purpose of determining the holder’s tax basis in Corporation Class A Shares received in the Unit Exchange.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

In addition to the above consequences, if a U.S. Holder of BBU units were treated as owning, indirectly through BBU, an interest in a non-U.S. corporation classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”), then certain PFIC rules generally would apply to the holder’s exchange of BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. Under proposed Treasury Regulations, which would apply retroactively if finalized as proposed, a U.S. shareholder of stock of a PFIC generally does not recognize gain if, pursuant to certain nonrecognition transactions (which include transfers described in Section 351 of the Code), such PFIC stock is exchanged for stock of a different corporation, such as the Corporation, (i) that is treated as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the day after the exchange or (ii) that owns directly or indirectly stock of the transferred PFIC, but only to the extent that the shareholder is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as indirectly owning after the transfer at least as great an interest in the transferred PFIC (by value) as the shareholder owned before the transfer. The application of these rules to an interest in a PFIC owned indirectly through a partnership, such as BBU, is uncertain.

108 

Based on BBU’s organizational structure, as well as its current and expected income and assets, the BBU General Partner believes that U.S. Holders are unlikely to be treated as owning any interest in a PFIC for the current taxable year or for the taxable year that includes the Effective Date, solely by reason of owning BBU units. The BBU General Partner therefore does not expect the PFIC rules to apply to the Unit Exchange. However, the PFIC determination is based on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules and depends upon the composition of a non-U.S. corporation’s income and assets and the nature of its activities from time to time. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided as to whether any U.S. Holder will be treated as owning stock of a PFIC by reason of owning BBU units. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the potential for the PFIC rules to apply to the Unit Exchange in light of their particular circumstances.

Application of Section 367(a) of the Code

Under Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, if a U.S. person transfers property to a non-U.S. corporation in a transaction that would otherwise qualify as a tax-free transfer under Section 351 of the Code, the U.S. person generally is required to recognize any gain, but not loss, realized on the transfer, unless an exception applies. For purposes of these rules, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to transfer to the Corporation in the Arrangement a proportionate share of the assets of BBU and the Holding LP, including the holder’s proportionate share of (i) the stock of CanHoldco owned by the Holding LP; (ii) the stock of U.S. Holdco owned by the Holding LP; (iii) the CanHoldco Loan; (iv) the assets of Bermuda Holdco, an entity that is wholly owned by the Holding LP and disregarded as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (v) the assets of Bermuda Subco, an entity the common shares of which are owned by Bermuda Holdco and which is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. Holder will be required to recognize any gain (but not loss) realized upon the deemed transfer of the holder’s proportionate share of such assets to the Corporation, unless an exception to gain recognition applies.

The deemed transfer of CanHoldco stock to the Corporation by a U.S. Holder (other than a Corporation 5% Shareholder) is expected to qualify for an exception under the Treasury Regulations under Section 367(a) of the Code for certain transfers of stock or securities of a non-U.S. corporation to another non-U.S. corporation, so that the deemed transfer qualifies as a tax-free transfer under Section 351 of the Code. This exception for transfers of stock of a non-U.S. corporation does not apply to the deemed transfer of U.S. Holdco stock to the Corporation in the Arrangement, and the application of the exception to the deemed transfer of the CanHoldco Loan is subject to uncertainty. Nonetheless, no U.S. Holder is expected to recognize gain by reason of such deemed transfers of U.S. Holdco stock or the CanHoldco Loan, because the BBU General Partner expects the Holding LP’s adjusted tax bases in the U.S. Holdco stock and CanHoldco Loan to equal or exceed their respective fair market values as of the Effective Date. A U.S. Holder’s share of tax basis in the U.S. Holdco stock and CanHoldco Loan deemed transferred may vary, however, including as a result of adjustments to basis under Section 743(b) of the Code (as described in greater detail in Item 10.E “Taxation—Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Section 754 Election” in the BBU Annual Report). Moreover, the fair market values of the U.S. Holder’s share of the U.S. Holdco stock and the CanHoldco Loan deemed transferred may also vary, including as a result of circumstances beyond BBU’s control. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided that U.S. Holders will not recognize gain by reason of such deemed transfers of U.S. Holdco stock and the CanHoldco Loan in the Arrangement for purposes of Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

The exception to Section 367(a) of the Code for certain transfers of stock or securities of a non-U.S. corporation to another non-U.S. corporation does not apply to a U.S. Holder’s deemed transfer of the assets of Bermuda Holdco and Bermuda Subco to the Corporation in the Arrangement. Nor does any other exception to gain recognition by reason of Section 367(a) of the Code apply to such deemed transfers. Based on the anticipated adjusted tax bases and fair market values of the assets of Bermuda Holdco and Bermuda Subco on the Effective Date, the BBU General Partner does not expect any U.S. Holder to recognize any gain by reason of the holder’s deemed transfer of a proportionate share of the assets of Bermuda Holdco and Bermuda Subco in the Arrangement for purposes of Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. However, the adjusted tax bases and fair market values of the assets of Bermuda Holdco and Bermuda Subco deemed transferred may vary, including as a result of circumstances beyond BBU’s control. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided as to the amount of gain, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder by reason of such deemed transfers of the assets of Bermuda Holdco and Bermuda Subco in the Arrangement.

109 

For purposes of Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the BBU General Partner does not expect BBU or the Holding LP to have any other material assets as of the Effective Date, other than the CanHoldco stock, the U.S. Holdco stock, the CanHoldco Loan, the Bermuda Holdco assets, and the Bermuda Subco assets. Accordingly, subject to the uncertainty described above, the BBU General Partner does not expect any U.S. Holder (with the possible exception of a Corporation 5% Shareholder) to recognize any gain in the Arrangement by reason of Section 367(a) of the Code. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the potential for Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder to apply to the Unit Exchange.

Each U.S. Holder of BBU units is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Unit Exchange to such holder under Section 351 of the Code in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBUC Exchangeable Shares for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Qualifies as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code

As stated above, it is the opinion of Torys LLP that it is more likely than not that the Share Exchange (the exchange of BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement) will qualify as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. If the Share Exchange so qualifies, then, subject to the discussion immediately below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares (other than any Corporation 5% Shareholders) that receive Corporation Class A Shares in the Share Exchange will be as follows.

A U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss in the Share Exchange.

A U.S. Holder will have an aggregate tax basis in the Corporation Class A Shares received in the Share Exchange equal to the aggregate tax basis of the BBUC exchangeable shares surrendered in exchange therefor.

A U.S. Holder will have a holding period for Corporation Class A Shares received in the Share Exchange that includes its holding period for its BBUC exchangeable shares surrendered in exchange therefor.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

In addition to the above consequences, if BBUC were classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a PFIC during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for its BBUC exchangeable shares, then the PFIC rules generally would apply to the holder’s exchange of BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. Under proposed Treasury Regulations, which would apply retroactively if finalized as proposed, a U.S. shareholder of stock of a PFIC generally does not recognize gain if, pursuant to certain nonrecognition transactions (which include transfers described in Section 351 of the Code), such PFIC stock is exchanged for stock of a different corporation, such as the Corporation, (i) that is treated as a PFIC for its taxable year that includes the day after the exchange or (ii) that owns directly or indirectly stock of the transferred PFIC, but only to the extent that the shareholder is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as indirectly owning after the transfer at least as great an interest in the transferred PFIC (by value) as the shareholder owned before the transfer.

Based on its expected income, assets, and activities, BBUC does not expect to be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or for the taxable year that includes the Effective Date, nor does it believe that it was a PFIC for any previous taxable year. BBUC therefore does not expect the PFIC rules to apply to the Share Exchange. However, the PFIC determination is based on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules and depends upon the composition of a corporation’s income and assets and the nature of its activities from time to time. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that BBUC will not be classified as a PFIC, or that the IRS or a court will agree with BBUC’s determination as to its PFIC status. U.S. Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the potential for the PFIC rules to apply to the Share Exchange in light of their particular circumstances.

Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Does Not Qualify as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code

If, contrary to expectation, the Unit Exchange (the exchange of BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement) does not qualify as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, then a U.S. Holder of BBU units who receives Corporation Class A Shares in the Unit Exchange will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the sum of (a) the fair market value as of the Effective Date of the Corporation Class A Shares received and (b) the holder’s share of BBU’s liabilities, if any, and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BBU units surrendered. Such gain or loss generally will be taxable as capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the BBU units were held for more than one year on the Effective Date. Generally, a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BBU units exchanged for Corporation Class A Shares in the Unit Exchange will be determined in the manner described above under the heading “Consequences to U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Qualifies as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code”.

Assuming the U.S. Holder has not elected to treat its share of BBU’s interest in any PFIC as a “qualified electing fund”, gain attributable to such interest in a PFIC would be taxable in the manner described below under the heading “Ownership and Disposition of Corporation Class A Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”. In addition, certain gain attributable to “unrealized receivables” or “inventory items” could be characterized as ordinary income rather than capital gain. For example, if BBU were to hold debt acquired at a market discount, accrued market discount on such debt would be treated as “unrealized receivables”. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. Holder who acquired BBU units at different times should consult a tax adviser regarding the application of certain “split holding period” rules to the Unit Exchange and the treatment of any gain or loss as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss.

Assuming the Unit Exchange does not qualify as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Corporation Class A Shares received in the Arrangement will equal the fair market value of such Corporation Class A Shares, and a U.S. Holder’s holding period in such Corporation Class A Shares will begin on the day after the Effective Date.

Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBUC Exchangeable Shares for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Does Not Qualify as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code

If, contrary to expectation, the Share Exchange (the exchange of BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement) does not qualify as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, then a U.S. Holder of BBUC exchangeable shares who receives Corporation Class A Shares in the Share Exchange generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value as of the Effective Date of the Corporation Class A Shares received and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BBUC exchangeable shares surrendered in exchange therefor. Subject to the potential application of the rules described below under the heading “Ownership and Disposition of Corporation Class A Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” with respect to BBUC, such gain or loss generally will be taxable as capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for the BBUC exchangeable shares exceeds one year on the Effective Date. 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.

Assuming the Share Exchange does not qualify as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Corporation Class A Shares received in the Arrangement will equal the fair market value of such Corporation Class A Shares, and a U.S. Holder’s holding period in such Corporation Class A Shares will begin on the day after the Effective Date.

111 

U.S. Holders Exercising Dissent Rights Pursuant to the Arrangement

Surrender of BBU Units for Cash

A U.S. Holder of BBU units that exercises Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement and is paid cash in exchange for all of its BBU units generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the sum of (a) the amount of cash received by the holder in exchange for BBU units (other than amounts, if any, that are or are deemed to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which amounts will be taxable as ordinary income) and (b) the holder’s share of BBU’s liabilities, if any, and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BBU units surrendered. Such gain or loss generally will be taxable as capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the BBU units were held for more than one year on the Effective Date. Generally, a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BBU units surrendered will be determined in the manner described above under the heading “Consequences to U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Qualifies as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code”.

Dissenting U.S. Holders of BBU units will be allocated their share of BBU’s items of income, gain, loss, and deduction for the taxable period of BBU that includes the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of the BBU Limited Partnership Agreement. A U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any such allocated income and gain, even if the U.S. Holder does not receive a cash distribution from BBU attributable to such allocated income and gain. Any such income and gain allocated to a dissenting U.S. Holder will increase the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in BBU units held and, therefore, will reduce the gain, or increase the loss, recognized by the U.S. Holder upon the receipt of cash in exchange for BBU units. Any losses or deductions allocated to a dissenting U.S. Holder will decrease the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in BBU units held and, therefore, will increase the gain, or reduce the loss, recognized by the U.S. Holder upon the receipt of cash in exchange for BBU units. U.S. Holders of BBU units are urged to consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of receiving an allocation of BBU’s items of income, gain, loss, and deduction, taking into account their particular circumstances.

Surrender of BBUC Exchangeable Shares for Cash

A U.S. Holder of BBUC exchangeable shares that exercises Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement and is paid cash in exchange for all of its BBUC exchangeable shares generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash received by the holder in exchange for BBUC exchangeable shares (other than amounts, if any, that are or are deemed to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which amounts will be taxable as ordinary income) and (ii) the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the BBUC exchangeable shares surrendered. Subject to the potential application of the rules described below under the heading “Ownership and Disposition of Corporation Class A Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” with respect to BBUC, such gain or loss generally will be taxable as capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for the BBUC exchangeable shares exceeds one year on the Effective Date. 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. U.S. Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

112 

Ownership and Disposition of Corporation Class A Shares

Taxation of Distributions

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 Corporation Class A Shares (including amounts withheld to pay Canadian withholding taxes) will be included in the holder’s gross income as a dividend to the extent paid out of the Corporation’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent that the amount of a distribution exceeds the Corporation’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Corporation Class A Shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the holder’s tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain. No assurance can be provided that the Corporation will calculate its earning and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles and, therefore, U.S. Holders should expect each distribution generally to be reported as a dividend in its entirety for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Dividends received by individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders with respect to Corporation Class A Shares readily tradable on the NYSE generally will be subject to tax at preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that such holders meet certain holding period and other requirements and the Corporation is not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or for the preceding taxable year. Dividends on Corporation Class A Shares generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult a tax adviser regarding the application of the relevant rules in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

Dividends paid by the Corporation generally will constitute foreign-source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. A U.S. Holder may be entitled to deduct or credit any Canadian withholding taxes on dividends in determining its U.S. federal income tax liability, subject to certain limitations (including that the election to deduct or credit foreign taxes applies to all of the U.S. Holder’s foreign taxes for a particular tax year). The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. Dividends distributed by the Corporation with respect to Corporation Class A Shares generally will constitute “passive category income”. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Each U.S. Holder of Corporation Class A Shares is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit in light of the holder’s particular circumstances.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Corporation Class A Shares

Subject to the discussion below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations”, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Corporation Class A Shares equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Corporation Class A Shares so disposed. The amount realized will equal the amount of cash, if any, plus the fair market value of any property received in exchange for the Corporation Class A Shares. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for the Corporation Class A Shares exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Gain or loss, as well as the holding period for the Corporation Class A Shares, will be determined separately for each block of Corporation Class A Shares (that is, shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction) sold or otherwise subject to a taxable disposition. 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.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder if the Corporation is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Corporation Class A Shares. A non-U.S. corporation, such as the Corporation, 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.

113 

Based on its expected income, assets, and activities, the Corporation does not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, the determination of whether the Corporation 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 the Corporation’s income and assets from time to time, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will not be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, or that the IRS or a court will agree with the Corporation’s determination as to its PFIC status.

Subject to certain elections described below, if the Corporation were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held Corporation Class A Shares, then gain recognized by the U.S. Holder upon the sale or other taxable disposition of the Corporation Class A Shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Corporation Class A Shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other taxable disposition and to any year before the Corporation 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 Corporation Class A Shares were to exceed 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the Corporation Class A 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 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 Corporation Class A 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 make an election to treat the holder’s interest in the Corporation as a “qualified electing fund” (a “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 the Corporation, 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 from the Corporation and (ii) prepare and submit IRS Form 8621 with the holder’s annual income tax return. To the extent reasonably practicable, the Corporation intends to make available information related to the PFIC status of the Corporation and any other subsidiary of the Corporation that the Corporation is able to identify as a PFIC with respect to U.S. Holders, 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 the Corporation 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 that 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 the U.S. person and in the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to federal income tax returns filed by the U.S. person. Each U.S. Holder of Corporation Class A Shares is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the application of the PFIC rules, including the foregoing filing requirements and the advisability of making any available election under the PFIC rules, with respect to the holder’s ownership and disposition of Corporation Class A Shares.

Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

Tax Consequences of the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of BBU units that receives Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (in the Unit Exchange) will depend on whether BBU is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as engaged in a trade or business within the United States. Based on BBU’s organizational structure, as well as its expected income and assets, the BBU General Partner believes that BBU is not currently engaged in a U.S. trade or business (including by reason of earning income or gain attributable to the sale of a “United States real property interest” as defined in the Code). Moreover, the BBU General Partner intends to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that BBU is not treated as engaged in a U.S. trade or business at any time up to and including the Effective Date.

114 

If, as anticipated, BBU is not treated as engaged in a U.S. trade or business at any time up to and including the Effective Date, and provided that a Non-U.S. Holder is not itself engaged in a U.S. trade or business, then the Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain or loss realized upon the Unit Exchange, including U.S. federal withholding tax. Under Section 1446(f) of the Code, the transferee of an interest in a partnership that is engaged in a U.S. trade or business generally is required to withhold 10% of the amount realized by the transferor, unless the transferor certifies that it is not a foreign person. In the case of a transfer of an interest in a publicly traded partnership effected through a broker, the broker bears the primary responsibility for such withholding. However, under Treasury Regulations, no withholding is required if the broker properly relies on a certification made by a publicly traded partnership in a “qualified notice” that the “10-percent exception” applies. The 10-percent exception applies to a transfer of a publicly traded interest in a publicly traded partnership if: (i) the publicly traded partnership was not engaged in a U.S. trade or business at any time during a specified period of time; or (ii) upon a hypothetical sale of the publicly traded partnership’s assets at fair market value, (a) the amount of net gain that would have been effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States would be less than 10% of the total net gain, or (b) no gain would have been effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. The BBU General Partner has provided and intends to continue to provide, up to and including the Effective Date, timely qualified notices on a quarterly basis certifying that the 10-percent exception applies, so that no withholding under Section 1446(f) of the Code applies to a Non-U.S. Holder’s exchange of BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement.

If, contrary to expectation, BBU is treated as engaged in a U.S. trade or business as of the Effective Date, then the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders that receive Corporation Class A Shares in the Unit Exchange generally will be as follows.

If, as intended, the Unit Exchange qualifies as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code (as discussed in greater detail above under the heading “Tax Treatment of the Arrangement and Certain Related Transactions”), then under Treasury Regulations under Section 864(c)(8) of the Code, no gain or loss generally would be recognized by the Non-U.S. Holder. However, if, contrary to expectation, BBU is treated as engaged in a U.S. trade or business, the BBU General Partner might be unable to issue a qualified notice certifying that the 10-percent exception applies. Accordingly, the gross proceeds in the Unit Exchange could be subject to the 10% U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 1446(f) of the Code, in which case the applicable withholding agent might satisfy such withholding by withholding a portion of the Corporation Class A Shares to which the Non-U.S. Holder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the Arrangement. A Non-U.S. Holder may be permitted to obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of the tax, if any, imposed under Section 864(c)(8) of the Code by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

If, contrary to expectation, the Unit Exchange does not qualify as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, then gain or loss realized upon the Unit Exchange by a Non-U.S. Holder would be treated as effectively connected with BBU’s U.S. trade or business to the extent that the Non-U.S. Holder would have had effectively connected gain or loss had BBU sold all of its assets at their fair market value as of the date of such sale. In such case, any such effectively connected gain generally would be taxable at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. As discussed in the immediately preceding bullet point, the gross proceeds in the Unit Exchange could also be subject to the 10% U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 1446(f) of the Code, in which case the applicable withholding agent might satisfy such withholding by withholding a portion of the Corporation Class A Shares to which the Non-U.S. Holder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the Arrangement.. The Non-U.S. Holder generally would also be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return.

Non-U.S. Holders of BBU units are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

115 

Tax Consequences of the Exchange of BBUC Exchangeable Shares for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement

Regardless of whether the Share Exchange (the exchange of BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement) qualifies as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, a Non-U.S. Holder of BBUC exchangeable shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the exchange of BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. Non-U.S. Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

Non-U.S. Holders Exercising Dissent Rights Pursuant to the Arrangement

Surrender of BBU Units for Cash

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of BBU units that exercises Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement will depend on whether BBU is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as engaged in a trade or business within the United States (as discussed above under the heading “Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences of the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement”).

If, contrary to expectation, BBU is treated as engaged in a U.S. trade or business as of the Effective Date, then gain or loss realized by a Non-U.S. Holder upon the receipt of cash upon the exercise of Dissent Rights generally would be treated as effectively connected with BBU’s U.S. trade or business to the extent that the Non-U.S. Holder would have had effectively connected gain or loss had BBU sold all of its assets at their fair market value as of the date of receipt. In such case, any such effectively connected gain generally would be taxable at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, the gross amount of cash to which the Non-U.S. Holder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the Arrangement generally would be subject to the 10% U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 1446(f) of the Code. The Non-U.S. Holder generally would also be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return.

Non-U.S. Holders of BBU units are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

Surrender of BBUC Exchangeable Shares for Cash

A Non-U.S. Holder of BBUC exchangeable shares that exercises Dissent Rights generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax upon the receipt of cash pursuant to the Arrangement. Non-U.S. Holders of BBUC exchangeable shares are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement in light of their particular circumstances.

Ownership and Disposition of Corporation Class A Shares

Distributions on Corporation Class A Shares made to Non-U.S. Holders and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Corporation Class A Shares by Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Information Reporting, Backup Withholding, and Other Reporting Requirements

U.S. Holders generally will be subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding on any cash payments received as a result of the exercise of Dissent Rights pursuant to the Arrangement.

116 

Distributions on Corporation Class A Shares made to a U.S. Holder and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Corporation Class A Shares generally will be subject to information reporting and may, under certain circumstances, be subject to 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.

Certain U.S. Holders generally will be required to report information relating to an interest in the Corporation Class A 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. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax adviser regarding the information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to the holder’s ownership and disposition of Corporation Class A Shares.

Non-U.S. Holders generally will not be subject to U.S. information reporting or backup withholding. However, Non-U.S. Holders that exercise Dissent Rights may be required to certify their non-U.S. status (on an applicable IRS Form W-8) in connection with payments of cash received in the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS NOT INTENDED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. THE TAX MATTERS RELATING TO THE ARRANGEMENT ARE COMPLEX AND ARE SUBJECT TO VARYING INTERPRETATIONS. MOREOVER, THE EFFECT OF EXISTING INCOME TAX LAWS, THE MEANING AND IMPACT OF WHICH ARE UNCERTAIN, AND OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN INCOME TAX LAWS WILL VARY WITH THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH HOLDER, AND IN REVIEWING THIS CIRCULAR THESE MATTERS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. EACH HOLDER OF BBU UNITS OR BBUC EXCHANGEABLE SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISER REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARRANGEMENT AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF CORPORATION CLASS A SHARES IN LIGHT OF THE HOLDER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

117 

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors when voting to approve the Arrangement. In addition, as there will be no substantive change in the business of the Corporation from that undertaken by Brookfield Business Partners, you should also carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference from the BBU Annual Report, the BBUC Annual Report, the BBU Q3 MD&A and the BBUC Q3 MD&A, and the other information incorporated by reference in this Circular, as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC and securities regulatory authorities in Canada, which are or will be incorporated herein by reference. For additional information, see “Information Concerning BBU”, “Information Concerning BBUC” and “Other Information”.

Risks Relating to the Arrangement

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent and required approvals

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, some of which are outside of our control, including receipt of the Final Order. At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will consider whether to approve the Arrangement based on the applicable legal requirements and the evidence before the Court. Other conditions precedent which are outside of our control include, without limitation, the required Securityholder approvals, the TSX Approvals, the NYSE Approvals and applicable regulatory approvals, including ICA Approval. There can be no certainty, nor can we provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived or that the Arrangement will be completed as currently contemplated or at all. If the Arrangement is delayed or not completed, the market price of the BBU units and of the BBUC exchangeable shares may be materially adversely affected.

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances, including in the sole and absolute discretion of the Boards, in which case the Arrangement will not be completed. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can we provide any assurance, that the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated prior to the completion of the Arrangement.

The failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact Brookfield Business Partners

Failure to complete the Arrangement for any reason could negatively impact the market price of the BBU units or the BBUC exchangeable shares, and Brookfield Business Partners will remain liable for costs relating to the proposed Arrangement.

Possible failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement

A variety of factors, including those risk factors set forth in this Circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein, may adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement. A failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business and operations.

Fluctuations in market prices may cause the value of the Corporation Class A Shares that you receive in the Arrangement to be less than the value of your BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares prior to the Arrangement

The ratio at which the BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares will be converted into Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement is fixed, and there will be no adjustment to the ratio for changes in the market price of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares. In addition, the Corporation Class A Shares have never been publicly traded. Accordingly, the value of the consideration to be received by Unitholders and Shareholders upon completion of the Arrangement is not ascertainable at this time and will ultimately depend upon the FMV of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares at the Effective Time. Those market prices may be higher or lower than the market prices on the date on which the intention to undertake the transaction was announced, the date the Arrangement Agreement was executed, the date of this Circular or the date of the Meetings. BBU unit and BBUC exchangeable share price changes may result from a variety of factors, including, among others, general market and economic conditions, changes in BBU’s and BBUC’s respective operations and prospects, cash flows, financial position, market assessments of the likelihood that the Arrangement will be approved, and the timing of the Arrangement.

118

Risks Relating to the Corporation

The Corporation is a newly formed company with no separate operating history

The Corporation is a newly formed company with no operating history and the historical and pro forma financial information included herein does not reflect the financial condition or operating results it would have achieved during the periods presented, and therefore may not be a reliable indicator of its future financial performance. The Corporation was formed in October 2025 and has not generated any significant net income to date.

The Corporation is a holding entity and will rely on BBU and BBUC to provide the Corporation with the funds necessary to pay distributions and meet its financial obligations

The Corporation is a holding entity and its sole material asset will be its direct and indirect interests in all of the issued and outstanding securities of BBU and BBUC, through which we will hold all of our interests in our operating businesses. The Corporation will have no independent means of generating revenues. As a result, the Corporation will depend on distributions and other payments from BBU and BBUC (which in turn will depend on distributions and other payments from Holding LP and, indirectly, the Holding Entities and our operating businesses) to provide it with the funds necessary to meet its financial obligations. BBU, BBUC, Holding LP, the Holding Entities and our operating businesses are legally distinct from the Corporation and some of them are or may become restricted in their ability to pay dividends and distributions or otherwise make funds available to the Corporation pursuant to local law, regulatory requirements and their contractual agreements, including agreements governing their financing arrangements. Any other entities through which we may conduct operations in the future will also be legally distinct from the Corporation and may be similarly restricted in their ability to pay dividends and distributions or otherwise make funds available to the Corporation under certain conditions. BBU, BBUC, Holding LP, the Holding Entities and our operating businesses will generally be required to service their debt obligations before making distributions to the Corporation or their parent entities, as applicable, thereby reducing the amount of our cash flow available to the Corporation to meet its financial obligations.

We anticipate that the only distributions that the Corporation will receive in respect of its interests in Brookfield Business Partners will consist of amounts that are intended to assist the Corporation to pay expenses as they become due and to make distributions to its shareholders in accordance with the Corporation’s articles and its dividend policy.

The Corporation is expected to be a “foreign private issuer” under U.S. securities law. Therefore, the Corporation will be exempt from requirements applicable to U.S. domestic registrants listed on the NYSE

Although the Corporation will be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Exchange Act, the periodic disclosure required of foreign private issuers under the U.S. Exchange Act is different from periodic disclosure required of U.S. domestic registrants. Therefore, there may be less publicly available information about the Corporation than is regularly published by or about other companies in the United States. The Corporation will be exempt from certain other sections of the U.S. Exchange Act to which U.S. domestic issuers are subject, including the requirement to provide its shareholders with information statements or proxy statements that comply with the U.S. Exchange Act. In addition, insiders and large shareholders of the Corporation will not be obligated to file reports under Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act, and the Corporation will be permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices (being the corporate governance practices of British Columbia companies) instead of those otherwise required under the NYSE Listed Company Manual for domestic issuers. The Corporation will follow the same corporate practices as would be applicable to U.S. domestic companies under the U.S. federal securities laws and NYSE corporate governance standards (being those applicable to British Columbia companies); however, as the Corporation will be externally managed by the Service Providers pursuant to the Master Services Agreement and will be a foreign private issuer, the Corporation will not have a compensation committee. However, the Corporation may elect in the future to follow its home country law for certain of its other corporate governance practices (those applicable to British Columbia companies), as permitted by the rules of the NYSE, in which case its shareholders would not be afforded the same protection as provided under NYSE corporate governance standards to U.S. domestic registrants. Following the Corporation’s home country governance practices as opposed to the requirements that would otherwise apply to a U.S. domestic company listed on the NYSE may provide less protection than is accorded to investors of U.S. domestic issuers.

119

Risks Relating to our Relationship with Brookfield

Brookfield will exercise substantial influence over the Corporation, and the Corporation will be highly dependent on the Service Providers

It is expected that, upon completion of the Arrangement, the Brookfield Holders will hold approximately 92% of the votes to elect the directors of the Corporation. As a result, Brookfield will be able to control the appointment and removal of the Corporation’s directors and, accordingly, exercise substantial influence over the Corporation. In addition, the Service Providers, being subsidiaries of Brookfield Asset Management, will provide management and administration services to our group pursuant to our Master Services Agreement. Our group will generally not have any employees and will depend on the management and administration services provided by the Service Providers. Other subsidiaries of Brookfield will also provide management services to certain of our operating subsidiaries. The partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of Brookfield and support staff that will provide services to us are not required to have as their primary responsibility the management and administration of our group, or to act exclusively for either of us. Any failure to effectively manage our operations or to implement our strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Brookfield may increase its ownership in the Corporation relative to other shareholders

It is expected that, upon completion of the Arrangement, Brookfield will hold 100% of the Corporation Class B Shares, 100% of the Corporation Special Shares and approximately 42% of the Corporation Class A Shares. Additionally, BWS will hold approximately 26% of the Corporation Class A Shares. Brookfield Asset Management may reinvest the Incentive Dividends received on its Corporation Special Shares in exchange for Corporation Class A Shares. The Brookfield Holders may also purchase additional Corporation Class A Shares in the market. Any of these events may result in Brookfield and its related parties increasing their respective ownership of the Corporation.

Risks Relating to the Corporation Class A Shares

The Corporation Class A Shares have never been publicly traded and an active and liquid trading market for the Corporation Class A Shares may not develop

Prior to the Arrangement, there has not been a market for the Corporation Class A Shares. We have applied to have the Corporation Class A Shares listed on the NYSE and the TSX under the symbol “BBUC”. Listing is subject to the approval of the NYSE and the TSX in accordance with their respective listing requirements. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Corporation Class A Shares. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest will lead to the development of an active and liquid trading market for the Corporation Class A Shares or, if such a market develops, whether it will be maintained. We cannot predict the effects on the price of the Corporation Class A Shares if a liquid and active trading market for the Corporation Class A Shares does not develop. In addition, if such a market does not develop, relatively small sales of the Corporation Class A Shares may have a significant negative impact on the price of the Corporation Class A Shares. A number of factors, principally factors relating to the Corporation but also including factors specific to Brookfield Business Partners and our business, financial condition and liquidity, economic and financial market conditions, interest rates, availability of capital and financing sources, volatility levels and other factors could lead to a decline in the value of the Corporation Class A Shares and a lack of liquidity in any market for the Corporation Class A Shares.

120

We may issue additional shares of the Corporation, preferred shares and securities exchangeable into shares of the Corporation in the future, including in lieu of incurring indebtedness, which may dilute existing shareholders. We may also issue securities that have rights and privileges that are more favorable than the rights and privileges accorded to the holders of Corporation Class A Shares

Subject to the terms of any of its securities then outstanding, our group may issue additional Corporation Class A Shares, Corporation Class B Shares, Corporation Special Shares, Corporation Class A Preferred Shares, securities exchangeable into shares of the Corporation and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Corporation shares for any purpose and for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Corporation Board may determine. Subject to the terms of any of its securities then outstanding, the Corporation Board will be able to determine the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the Corporation Class A Preferred Shares, including any rights to share in our profits, losses and distributions, any rights to receive assets upon dissolution or liquidation and any redemption, conversion and exchange rights. Subject to the terms of any of its securities then outstanding, the Corporation Board may use such authority to issue such additional securities. The sale or issuance of a substantial number of Corporation shares other equity related securities of our group in the public markets, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, could depress the market price of the Corporation Class A Shares and impair the Corporation’s ability to raise capital through the sale of additional securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales or issuances of Corporation shares other equity related securities of our group would have on the market price of the Corporation Class A Shares. Subject to the terms of any of its securities then outstanding and applicable law, holders Corporation Class A Shares 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.

We may be subject to the risks commonly associated with a separation of economic interest from control or the incurrence of debt at multiple levels within an organizational structure

Our ownership and organizational structure will be similar to structures whereby one company controls another company which in turn holds controlling interests in other companies; thereby, the company at the top of the chain may control the company at the bottom of the chain even if its effective equity position in the bottom company is less than a controlling interest.

It is expected that, upon completion of the Arrangement, the Brookfield Holders will hold approximately 92% of the votes to elect the directors of the Corporation. As a result, Brookfield will be able to control the appointment and removal of the Corporation’s directors and, accordingly, exercise substantial influence over the Corporation. In turn, we will often have a majority controlling interest or a significant influence in our operating businesses. Upon completion of the Arrangement, although it is expected that Brookfield Holders will have an effective equity interest of approximately 68% as a result of ownership of Corporation Class A Shares, over time Brookfield Holders may reduce this interest while still maintaining voting control, and, therefore, Brookfield may use its control rights in a manner that conflicts with the interests of the Corporation’s other shareholders.

For example, despite the fact that we will have conflicts protocols in place, which will address the requirement for independent approval and other requirements for transactions in which there is greater potential for a conflict of interest to arise, including transactions with affiliates of Brookfield, because Brookfield will be able to exert substantial influence over us, there is a greater risk of transfer of the assets at non-arm’s length values to Brookfield and its affiliates. In addition, debt incurred at multiple levels within the chain of control could exacerbate the separation of economic interest from controlling interest at such levels, thereby creating an incentive to increase our leverage. Any such increase in debt would also make us more sensitive to declines in revenues, increases in expenses and interest rates and adverse market conditions. The servicing of any such debt would also reduce the amount of funds available to pay distributions and could reduce the total returns to the Corporation’s shareholders.

The Corporation is not, and does not intend to become, regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act (and similar legislation in other jurisdictions), and, if the Corporation were deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to operate as contemplated

The Investment Company Act (and similar legislation in other jurisdictions) provides certain protections to investors and imposes certain restrictions on companies that are registered or required to be registered as investment companies. Among other things, such restrictions limit or prohibit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities and impose certain governance requirements. The Corporation has not been and does not intend to become registered as an investment company, and the Corporation intends to conduct its activities so it will not be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act (and similar legislation in other jurisdictions). In order to ensure that we are not deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to materially restrict or limit the scope of our operations or plans. We will be limited in the types of acquisitions that we may make, and we may need to modify our organizational structure or dispose of assets which we would not otherwise dispose of. Moreover, if anything were to happen which would cause the Corporation to be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it would be impractical for us to operate as contemplated. Agreements and arrangements between and among us, Brookfield, and other counterparties would be impaired, the type and number of acquisitions that we would be able to make as a principal would be limited and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected. Accordingly, we would be required to take extraordinary steps to address the situation, such as the amendment or termination of our Master Services Agreement, the restructuring of our group and the Holding Entities or the dissolution of the Corporation, any of which could materially adversely affect the value of the Corporation Class A Shares. In addition, if the Corporation were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it would be taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and such treatment could materially adversely affect the value of the Corporation Class A Shares.

121

Non-U.S. shareholders will be subject to foreign currency risk associated with the Corporation’s dividends

It is expected that a significant number of the Corporation’s shareholders will reside in countries where the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency. The Corporation’s dividends will be denominated in U.S. dollars but will generally be settled in the local currency of the shareholder receiving the dividend. The value received in the local currency from the dividend will be generally determined based on the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the applicable local currency at the time of payment. As such, if the U.S. dollar depreciates significantly against the local currency of the non-U.S. shareholder, the value received by such shareholder in its local currency will be adversely affected.

The Corporation’s articles 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 U.S. Securities Act. This choice of forum provision could limit the ability of the Corporation’s shareholders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with directors, officers or employees

The Corporation’s articles provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, 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 U.S. Securities Act. In the absence of these provisions, under the U.S. 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 U.S. Securities Act. This choice of forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce duties or liabilities created by the U.S. Exchange Act, which already provides that such federal district courts have exclusive jurisdictions over such suits. Additionally, investors cannot waive the Corporation’s compliance with federal securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations thereunder.

The choice of forum provision contained in the Corporation’s articles may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Corporation or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Corporation 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 jurisdiction with respect to the Corporation could find the choice of forum provision contained in the Corporation’s articles 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 U.S. 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 Canada (including in the Province of British Columbia) and other courts within the United States, reach a similar determination regarding the choice of forum provision contained in the Corporation’s articles. If the relevant court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Corporation’s articles to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Corporation may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and operating results.

122

U.S. investors may find it difficult or impossible to enforce service of process and enforcement of judgments against the Corporation, its board of directors and the Service Providers

The Corporation was established under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, and most of our subsidiaries are organized in jurisdictions outside of the United States. In addition, certain of our executive officers are located outside of the United States. Certain of our directors and officers and the Service Providers reside outside of the United States. A substantial portion of our assets are, and the assets of our directors and officers and the Service Providers may be located outside of the United States. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors and officers and the Service Providers. It may also not be possible to enforce against the Corporation, or our directors and officers and the Service Providers, judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities law in the United States.

Risks Relating to Taxation

United States

If the exchanges of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement do not qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code or are otherwise taxable, including by reason of Section 367(a) of the Code, then U.S. Holders receiving Corporation Class A Shares may recognize taxable gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The exchanges of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement are intended to qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code. Subject to customary assumptions, qualifications, limitations, and representations, it is the opinion of Torys LLP, counsel to BBU, BBUC, and the Corporation, that such exchanges, taken together with certain related transactions, are more likely than not to qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code. However, the IRS is not bound by the foregoing opinion of Torys LLP and may challenge its conclusions, and a court may sustain such challenge.

For tax-free treatment under Section 351 of the Code to apply, the exchanges of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement must not constitute transfers of property to an “investment company” (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that result in “diversification” of the transferors’ interests. The tax rules for determining whether the Corporation is an investment company are complicated and ambiguous, and there is limited or no authority for applying these rules to complex organizational structures. It is therefore not free from doubt that the Corporation will avoid treatment as an investment company. Nor is it free from doubt that the transfers of BBU units, BBUC exchangeable shares, and other assets to the Corporation pursuant to the Arrangement will not result in “diversification” of a transferor’s interests.

If the exchanges of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement do not qualify as tax-free exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code, then such exchanges generally will be treated as taxable exchanges for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In such case, a U.S. Holder of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares generally will be required to recognize taxable gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described in greater detail in “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Does Not Qualify as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBUC Exchangeable Shares for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Does Not Qualify as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code” below.

Even if the exchange of BBU units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement qualifies as a tax-free exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, a U.S. Holder of BBU units may nonetheless be required to recognize gain attributable to the holder’s share of certain assets deemed transferred to the Corporation under Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. With the possible exception of a U.S. Holder treated as owning 5% or more of the stock of the Corporation immediately after the Arrangement, the BBU General Partner does not expect any U.S. Holder to recognize any gain attributable to such deemed transfer of assets to the Corporation under Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. However, whether a U.S. Holder recognizes gain will depend on the fair market values of the assets deemed transferred in the Arrangement, as well as the tax bases in such assets, both of which may vary, including as a result of circumstances beyond BBU’s control. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Consequences to U.S. Holders—Tax Consequences if the Exchange of BBU Units for Corporation Class A Shares in the Arrangement Qualifies as Tax-Free Under Section 351 of the Code—Application of Section 367(a) of the Code” below. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided that U.S. Holders of BBU units will not recognize gain by reason of such deemed transfer of assets to the Corporation pursuant to the Arrangement for purposes of Section 367(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

123

For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchanges of BBU units and BBUC exchangeable shares for Corporation Class A Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, see “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement are complex, and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the foregoing considerations in light of their particular circumstances.

Canada

Non-Resident Holders may be subject to Canadian federal income tax on capital gains realized on the disposition of Corporation Class A Shares if the Corporation Class A Shares are “taxable Canadian property”

Any capital gain arising from the disposition or deemed disposition of Corporation Class A Shares by a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to taxation in Canada, if, at the time of the disposition or deemed disposition, the Corporation Class A Shares are “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-Resident Holder, unless the Corporation Class A Shares are “treaty-protected property” to such Non-Resident Holder. In general, the Corporation Class A Shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” of any Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition or deemed disposition, 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 the Corporation 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 Corporation Class A 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. The Corporation does not expect the Corporation Class A Shares to be “taxable Canadian property” of any Non-Resident Holder at any time but no assurance can be given in this regard. Even if the Corporation Class A Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property”, the Corporation Class A Shares will be “treaty protected property” if the gain on the disposition of the Corporation Class A Shares is exempt from tax under the Tax Act under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention. If the Corporation Class A Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property”, Non-Resident Holders will be required to file a Canadian federal income tax return in respect of a disposition of the Corporation Class A Shares unless the disposition is an “excluded disposition” for the purposes of section 150 of the Tax Act. However, Non-Resident Holders that are corporations will still be required to file a Canadian federal income tax return in respect of a disposition of “taxable Canadian property” that is an “excluded disposition” for the purposes of section 150 of the Tax Act if tax would otherwise be payable under Part I of the Tax Act by such Non-Resident Holder in respect of the disposition but is not because of an applicable income tax treaty or convention (otherwise than in respect of a disposition of “taxable Canadian property” that is “treaty-protected property” of the corporation). In general, an “excluded disposition” is a disposition of property by a taxpayer in a taxation year where: (a) the taxpayer is a non-resident of Canada at the time of the disposition; (b) no tax is payable by the taxpayer under Part I of the Tax Act for the taxation year; (c) the taxpayer is not liable to pay any amounts under the Tax Act in respect of any previous taxation year (other than certain amounts for which the CRA holds adequate security); and (d) each “taxable Canadian property” disposed of by the taxpayer in the taxation year is either: (i) “excluded property” as defined in subsection 116(6) of the Tax Act; or (ii) is property in respect of the disposition of which a certificate under subsection 116(2), (4) or (5.2) of the Tax Act has been issued by the CRA. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the requirement to file a Canadian federal income tax return in respect of a disposition of the Corporation Class A Shares.

What if I plan to vote by proxy in advance of the Meetings?

You can also vote by proxy prior to the Proxy Deadline as follows:

by internet: access www.meeting-vote.com and follow the instructions on the screen. You will need your 13-digit control number, which is printed on the form of proxy sent to you.

by mail: complete, sign and date your form of proxy and return it in the envelope provided or in one addressed to TSX Trust Company:

Attention: Proxy Department, P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario M1S 0A1

by telephone: call toll-free in North America at 1-888-489-5760. You will be prompted to provide the 13-digit control number printed on the form of proxy sent to you. Please note that you cannot appoint anyone other than the directors and officers named on your form of proxy as your proxyholder if you vote by telephone.

by e-mail: complete, sign and date your form of proxy and e-mail both sides to proxyvote@tmx.com

by fax: complete, sign and date your form of proxy and fax both sides to 416-595-9593

If you vote by proxy, your proxy must be received no later than the Proxy Deadline, regardless of the method you choose. If you do not date your proxy, we will assume the date to be the date it was received by TSX Trust. If you vote by telephone or by internet, do not return your form of proxy.

You can appoint the persons named in the form of proxy or some other person (who need not be a securityholder of BBU or BBUC) to represent you as proxyholder at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable, by writing the name of this person in the blank space on the form of proxy. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Management Representatives identified in the form of proxy you will need to complete the additional step of registering your proxyholder with TSX Trust at 1-866-751- 6315 (toll-free in North America) or 416-682-3860 (outside North America) or visiting www.tsxtrust.com/control-number-request by no later than the Proxy Deadline and provide TSX Trust with the required information for your proxyholder so that TSX Trust may provide the proxyholder with a control number. This control number will allow your proxyholder to log in to and vote online at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable. Without a control number, your proxyholder will not be able to vote or ask questions at the applicable Meeting. They will only be able to attend the Meetings online as a guest.

If you are a Non-Registered Unitholder or Non-Registered Shareholder and your BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares are held in the name of an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer, broker or other Intermediary, and you would like to know how to direct the votes of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares beneficially owned, see “—If my securities are not registered in my name but are held in the name of an Intermediary, how do I vote my securities?” for voting instructions.

Who is soliciting my proxy?

The solicitation of proxies by this Circular is being made by or behalf of management of Brookfield Business Partners and the associated costs will be borne by Brookfield Business Partners.

This solicitation will be made primarily by sending proxy materials to Securityholders by mail and email, and in relation to the delivery of this Circular, by posting this Circular on our website at https://bbu.brookfield.com under “Corporate Reorganization” and on BBU’s and BBUC’s SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca and on BBU’s and BBUC’s EDGAR profiles at www.sec.gov/edgar.

126

What happens if I sign the proxy sent to me?

Signing the proxy appoints one of the Management Representatives or another person you have appointed, to vote or withhold from voting your BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable, in accordance with your instructions.

Can I appoint someone other than the Management Representatives to vote my securities?

Yes, you may appoint another person other than the Management Representatives named on the form of proxy to be your proxyholder. Write the name of this person in the blank space on the form of proxy. The person you appoint does not need to be a Unitholder or Shareholder. Please make sure that such other person you appoint attends the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable, and knows he or she has been appointed to vote your BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares. You will need to complete the additional step of registering such proxyholder with our transfer agent, TSX Trust, after submitting the form of proxy or voting instruction form. See “—If my securities are not registered in my name but are held in the name of an Intermediary, how do I vote my securities?”. Registered Unitholders or Registered Shareholders may not appoint another person or company as proxyholder other than the Management Representatives named in the form of proxy when voting by telephone.

What do I do with my completed form of proxy?

Return it to TSX Trust in the envelope provided to you by mail to TSX Trust Company: Attention: Proxy Department, P.O Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario M1S 0A1; or by email to proxyvote@tmx.com; or by fax to 416-595-9593 by no later than the Proxy Deadline. A completed form of proxy should only be returned if you are voting by mail, email, fax or appointing a proxyholder.

Can I vote by internet in advance of the Meetings?

Yes. If you are a Registered Unitholder or Registered Shareholder, go to www.meeting-vote.com and follow the instructions on the screen. You will need your 13-digit control number, which is printed on the form of proxy sent to you. You must submit your vote by no later than the Proxy Deadline.

If I change my mind, can I submit another proxy or take back my proxy once I have given it?

Yes. If you are a Registered Unitholder or Registered Shareholder, you may deliver another properly executed form of proxy with a later date to replace the original proxy in the same way you delivered the original proxy. If you wish to revoke your proxy, prepare a written statement to this effect signed by you (or your attorney as authorized in writing) or, if the Securityholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation. This statement must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of BBU or BBUC, as applicable, at the address below no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 9, 2026, or, in the event the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than two Business Days prior to the time of the adjourned or postponed meeting. You may also log in, accept the terms and conditions and vote by online ballot at the applicable Meeting. Voting by online ballot will revoke your proxy previously given in respect of that Meeting.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

127

If you are a Non-Registered Unitholder or Non-Registered Shareholder, you may revoke a voting instruction form previously given to an Intermediary at any time by contacting your Intermediary. If your Intermediary provides the option of voting over the internet, you can change your instructions by updating your voting instructions on the website provided by your Intermediary, so long as you submit your new instructions before the Intermediary’s deadline. A Non-Registered Unitholder or Non-Registered Shareholder may then submit a revised voting instruction form in accordance with the directions on the form.

How will my securities be voted if I give my proxy?

The persons named on the form of proxy must vote your BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares for or against or withhold from voting, in accordance with your directions, or you can let your proxyholder decide for you. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your BBU Units or BBUC exchangeable shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of voting directions, proxies received by management, in the case of BBU Unitholders’ Meeting, will be voted in favor of the BBU Transaction Resolutions, and in the case of the BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, will be voted in favor of the BBUC Arrangement Resolution. See “The Meetings—Business of the Meetings” for further information.

What if amendments are made to these matters or if other matters are brought before the Meetings?

The persons named on the form of proxy will have discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notices of Meetings and with respect to other matters which may properly come before either Meeting.

As at the date of this Circular, management is not aware of any amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before the Meetings. If any other matters properly come before either Meeting, the persons named on the form of proxy will vote on them in accordance with their best judgment.

Who counts the votes?

Our transfer agent, TSX Trust, counts and tabulates the proxies.

How do I contact the transfer agent?

If my securities are not registered in my name but are held in the name of an Intermediary, how do I vote my securities?

In many cases, BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares that are beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Unitholder or Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either:

in the name of an Intermediary or a trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or

in the name of a depository, such as CDS or DTC, of which the Intermediary is a participant.

128

Your Intermediary is required to send you a voting instruction form for the number of BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares you beneficially own.

Since BBU and BBUC have limited access to the names of the Non-Registered Unitholders and Non-Registered Shareholders, BBU or BBUC may have no record of your BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares or of your entitlement to vote at the Meetings unless your Intermediary has appointed you as proxyholder. Therefore, if you wish to vote by online ballot at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable, you will need to complete the following steps:

Step 1: Insert your name in the space provided on the voting instruction form and return it by following the instructions provided therein.

Step 2: You must complete the additional step of registering yourself (or your appointee, other than if your appointees are the Management Representatives) as the proxyholder with TSX Trust by calling 1-866-751-6315 (toll-free North America) or 416-682-3860 (outside North America) or at www.tsxtrust.com/control-number-request by no later than the Proxy Deadline and providing TSX Trust with your name and email address or the name and email address of your appointee. TSX Trust will provide you or your appointee with a username which will allow you or your appointee to log in to and vote at the applicable Meeting.

If you are a Non-Registered Unitholder or Non-Registered Shareholder located in the United States and you wish to appoint yourself as a proxyholder, in addition to the steps above, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary. To do so, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Follow the instructions from your Intermediary included with the legal proxy form and the voting information form sent to you or contact your Intermediary to request a legal proxy form or a legal proxy if you have not received one.

Step 2: After you receive a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary, you must then submit the legal proxy to TSX Trust. You can send the legal proxy by email or by mail or courier to: proxyvote@tmx.com (if by email), or TSX Trust Company, Attention: Proxy Department, P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario M1S 0A1 (if by mail or courier). The legal proxy in both cases must be labeled “Legal Proxy” and received no later than the Proxy Deadline.

Step 3: TSX Trust will provide duly appointed proxyholders with a control number by email after the voting deadline has passed. Please note that you are also required to register your appointment as a proxyholder at 1-866-751-6315 (toll-free North America) or 416-682-3860 (outside North America) or www.tsxtrust.com/control-number-request as noted above.

Failing to register online as a proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a control number, which is required to vote at the Meetings. Non-Registered Unitholders or Non-Registered Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will not be able to vote at the Meetings but will be able to attend as guests.

A Non-Registered Unitholder or Non-Registered Shareholder who does not wish to attend and vote at the BBU Unitholders’ Meeting or BBUC Shareholders’ Meeting, as applicable, and wishes to vote prior to the Meetings must complete and sign the voting instruction form and return it in accordance with the directions on the form.

BBU and BBUC have distributed the BBU Notice Package and BBUC Notice Package, respectively, to Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Unitholders and Non-Registered Shareholders. Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice Package to Non-Registered Unitholders and Non-Registered Shareholders.

Non-Registered Unitholders and Non-Registered Shareholders who have not opted for electronic delivery will receive a voting instruction form to permit them to direct the voting of the BBU units or BBUC exchangeable shares they beneficially own. Non-Registered Unitholders and Non-Registered Shareholders should follow the instructions on the forms they receive and contact their Intermediaries promptly if they need assistance.

129

7.4.2

If the Partnership exercises its right to redeem Public Units under this Section 7.4, and, subject to the exercise of the Call Right, the Partnership will cause to be delivered to the Public Unitholders the Cash Consideration for each Public Unit so redeemed upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Partnership or at any office of the Transfer Agent of the certificates (if any) representing such Public Units, together with such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent may reasonably require.

Call Right

D-45

- 7 -

7.5.3

For the purposes of completing a purchase of the Public Units pursuant to the exercise of the Call Right, the Corporation will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Transfer Agent, on or before the Effective Date, the aggregate Class A Consideration deliverable by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.5.1. Provided that the aggregate Class A Consideration has been so deposited, on and after the Effective Date, the Public Unitholders will cease to be Unitholders of such Public Units and will not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of Public Unitholders in respect thereof other than the right to receive such Public Unitholder’s portion of the aggregate Class A Consideration and such Public Unitholder will on and after the last Business Day prior to such Effective Date be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the securities delivered to them as part of the Class A Consideration which such Public Unitholder is entitled. Upon presentation to the Transfer Agent of the documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Public Units under the Limited Partnership Act, the Agreement and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent and the Partnership may reasonably require, the Public Unitholder will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Transfer Agent on behalf of the Corporation will deliver to such Public Unitholder, the Class A Consideration. If the Corporation does not exercise the Call Right in the manner described above, on the Effective Date a Public Unitholder will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Cash Consideration otherwise payable by the Partnership in connection with the redemption of the Public Units pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof.

7.5.4

For greater certainty, the Corporation and/or its Affiliates may undertake such transactions as may be necessary or desirable in order to deliver, or cause to be delivered, all or a portion of the Class A Shares to Public Unitholders in accordance with Section 7.5.3, provided such transactions are not prejudicial to the rights or interests of any Public Unitholder.

7.5.5

Each Public Unitholder, by virtue of becoming and being such a Public Unitholder, will be deemed to acknowledge the Call Right in favour of the Corporation and the overriding nature thereof and to be bound thereby in favour of the Corporation as herein provided.

7.5.6

For greater certainty, the transfer of Public Units of the Partnership as described in Section 3.1(c) and (f) of the Plan of Arrangement shall take place pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and not in connection with the exercise of the Call Right.

7.6.15

If the Partnership fails to apply to a court under Section 7.6.14, a dissenting Unitholder may apply to a court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as a court may allow.
