TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information from this Information Statement relating to FTAI Infrastructure, our spin-off from FTAI and the distribution of our common stock by FTAI to FTAI’s shareholders. Per share and share ownership information contained in this Information Statement does not give effect to the issuance of the Warrants (as defined below) to be issued in connection with the New Financing (as defined below). For a more complete understanding of our business and the spin-off, you should carefully read the entire Information Statement.
Our Company
We are in the business of acquiring, developing and operating assets and businesses that represent critical infrastructure for customers in the transportation and energy industries. We were formed on December 13, 2021 as FTAI Infrastructure LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of FTAI. Prior to the completion of the spin-off, we will convert into FTAI Infrastructure Inc., a Delaware corporation, and will hold all of the material assets and investments that comprise FTAI's infrastructure business. Prior to the spin-off, we are a subsidiary of FTAI, which is a Nasdaq-listed company that is externally managed and advised by our Manager (as defined below).
Our operations consist of three primary business lines: (i) Ports and Terminals, (ii) Railroads and (iii) companies and assets participating in global Energy Transition. Our Ports and Terminals business develops or acquires industrial properties in strategic locations that store and handle for third parties a variety of energy products, including crude oil, refined products and clean fuels. In certain cases, we also develop and operate facilities, such as a 485 megawatt power plant at our Long Ridge terminal in Ohio, that leverage our property’s location and key attributes to generate incremental value. Our Railroads business primarily invests in and operates short line and regional railroads in North America. Our Energy Transition business focuses on investments in companies and assets that utilize green technology, produce sustainable fuels and products, or enable customers to reduce their carbon footprint.
We expect to continue to invest in such market sectors, and pursue additional investment opportunities in other infrastructure businesses and assets that we believe to be attractive and meet our investment objectives. Our team focuses on acquiring a diverse group of long-lived assets or operating businesses that provide mission-critical services or functions to infrastructure networks and typically have high barriers to entry, strong margins, stable cash flows and upside from earnings growth and asset appreciation driven by increased use and inflation. We believe that there are a large number of acquisition opportunities in our markets and that our Manager’s expertise and business and financing relationships, together with our access to capital and generally available capital for infrastructure projects in today’s marketplace, will allow us to take advantage of these opportunities. As of March 31, 2022, we had total consolidated assets of $2,437.7 million and total equity of $1,349.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, reflecting the acquisition of Transtar and separation of FTAI’s infrastructure business from FTAI on a pro forma basis, we had net loss attributable to shareholders of $61.4 million and $128.7 million, respectively.
We target sectors that we believe enjoy strong long-term growth potential and proactively seek investment opportunities within those sectors that we believe will generate strong risk-adjusted returns. We take an opportunistic approach—targeting assets that are distressed or undervalued, or where we believe we can add value through active management, without heavy reliance on the use of financial leverage to generate returns. We also seek to develop incremental opportunities to deploy capital through follow-on investments in our existing assets in order to grow our earnings and create value. While leverage on any individual asset may vary, we target overall leverage for our assets on a consolidated basis of no greater than 50% of our total capital.
We will be externally managed by FIG LLC (our “Manager”), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), which has a dedicated team of experienced professionals focused on the acquisition of infrastructure assets since 2002.
Our Strategy
We invest across a number of major sectors including energy, intermodal transport, ports and terminals and rail, and we may pursue acquisitions in other areas as and when they arise in the future. In general, we seek to own a diverse mix of high-quality infrastructure facilities, operations and equipment within our target sectors that generate predictable cash flows in markets that we believe provide the potential for strong long-term growth and attractive returns on deployed capital. We believe that by investing in a diverse mix of assets across sectors, we can select from among the best risk-adjusted investment opportunities, while avoiding overconcentration in any one segment, further adding to the stability of our business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We take a proactive investment approach by identifying key secular trends as they emerge within our target sectors and then pursuing what we believe are the most compelling opportunities within those sectors. We look for unique investments, including assets that are distressed or undervalued, or where we believe that we can add value through active management. We consider investments across the size spectrum, including smaller opportunities often overlooked by other investors, particularly where we believe we may be able to grow the investment over time. We believe one of our strengths is our ability to create attractive follow-on investment opportunities and deploy incremental capital within our existing portfolio. We have several such opportunities currently identified, including significant potential for future investment at our Jefferson Terminal, Repauno and Long Ridge sites, in addition to our other assets, as discussed below.
Our Manager has significant prior experience in all of our target sectors, as well as a network of industry relationships, that we believe positions us well to make successful acquisitions and to actively manage and improve operations and cash flows of our existing and newly-acquired assets. These relationships include senior executives at lessors and operators, end users of transportation and infrastructure assets, as well as banks, lenders and other asset owners.
We have a robust current pipeline of potential investment opportunities. This current pipeline consists of opportunities for renewable and non-renewable energy, intermodal, rail and port-related investments.
Asset Acquisition Process
Our strategy is to acquire assets that we believe are essential to global infrastructure. We acquire assets that are used by major operators of infrastructure networks. We seek to acquire assets and businesses that we believe operate in sectors with long-term macroeconomic growth opportunities and that have significant cash flow and upside potential from earnings growth and asset appreciation.
We approach markets and opportunities by first developing an asset acquisition strategy with our Manager and then pursuing optimal opportunities within that strategy. In addition to relying on our own experience, we source new opportunities through our Manager’s network of industry relationships in order to find, structure and execute attractive acquisitions. We believe that sourcing assets both globally and through multiple channels will enable us to find the most attractive opportunities. We are selective in the assets we pursue and efficient in the manner in which we pursue them.
Once attractive opportunities are identified, our Manager performs detailed due diligence on each of our potential acquisitions. Due diligence on each of our assets always includes a comprehensive review of the asset itself as well as the industry and market dynamics, competitive positioning, and financial and operational performance. Where appropriate, our Manager conducts physical inspections, a review of the credit quality of each of our counterparties, the regulatory environment, and a review of all material documentation. In some cases, third-party specialists are hired to physically inspect and/or value the target assets.
We and our Manager also spend a significant amount of time on structuring our acquisitions to minimize risks while also optimizing expected returns. We employ what we believe to be reasonable amounts of leverage in connection with our acquisitions. In determining the amount of leverage for each acquisition, we consider a number of characteristics, including, but not limited to, the existing cash flow, the length of the lease or contract term, and the specific counterparty.
Our Strengths
Strong Contracted Cash Flows Plus Growth Potential—We target a diverse mix of infrastructure facilities, operations and equipment that deliver, on a combined basis, significant and predictable current cash flows plus the potential for earnings growth and asset appreciation. Our current portfolio includes assets in the energy, intermodal transport and rail sectors, among others. Our holdings include value-add projects where we expect to be able to generate strong earnings and cash flow growth through development and asset repositioning. We expect our future investments to continue to deliver a mix of current cash flow and growth potential.
Opportunistic Investment ApproachWe take an opportunistic approach to buying and managing assets by targeting assets that are distressed or undervalued, or where we believe we can add value through active management. We also try to develop incremental opportunities to deploy significant amounts of capital through follow-on investments in our existing assets in order to drive cash flow and growth. In these ways, we seek to deliver attractive returns on our portfolio without heavy reliance on financial leverage. Following the spin-off and after giving effect to the New Financing (as defined below), our leverage on a weighted basis across our existing portfolio will be approximately 59% of our total capital. While leverage on any individual asset may vary, we target overall leverage for our assets on a consolidated basis of no greater than 50% of our total capital.

Extensive Relationships with Experienced Operators—Through our Manager, we have numerous relationships with operators across the infrastructure industry. We typically seek to partner and often co-invest with experienced operators and owners when making acquisitions, and our existing relationships enable us not only to source opportunities, but also to maximize the value of each asset post-closing. Our strategy is to actively manage our investments to improve operations, grow cash flows and develop incremental investment opportunities.
Overview of the Separation
Before the distribution, FTAI Infrastructure will enter into a separation and distribution agreement with FTAI to effect the separation (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) and provide a framework for our relationship with FTAI after the separation. This will provide for the allocation between FTAI and FTAI Infrastructure of FTAI’s assets, liabilities and obligations.
Following the completion of the spin-off, FTAI plans to undertake a merger transaction, subject to shareholder approval, pursuant to which FTAI will merge with a subsidiary of FTAI and FTAI shareholders will receive stock in a non-U.S. company that holds the Aviation Subsidiaries (as defined below, and such merger, the “Aviation Merger”).
In connection with the spin-off, FTAI has undertaken and will undertake certain internal reorganization steps to separate the entities that hold its infrastructure business, comprised of Jefferson Terminal, Repauno, Long Ridge, Transtar, Aleon and Gladieux, KRS, Clean Planet USA, FYX, CarbonFree and Containers (the “Infrastructure Subsidiaries”) from the entities that primarily hold its aviation business (the “Aviation Subsidiaries”).
The following transactions and actions have also occurred or are expected to occur with, prior to or immediately following the completion of the separation (together with the internal reorganization steps described above, the “Restructuring Transactions”):
In connection with the spin, FTAI Infrastructure is expected to raise approximately $500.0 million of debt financing in the Proposed Debt Financing (as defined below) and up to $300.0 million of preferred equity financing (consisting of Series A Senior Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and Warrants (as defined below)), or a combination thereof, the proceeds of which will be paid to FTAI in connection with the spin-off (the “New Financing”);
Fortress Worldwide Transportation and Infrastructure General Partnership (the “Partnership”) will establish the desired parent holding entity for the Infrastructure Subsidiaries. To accomplish this, among other transactions:
FTAI Infrastructure will convert into a Delaware corporation, FTAI Infrastructure Inc.; and
The Partnership will contribute the Infrastructure Subsidiaries to FTAI Infrastructure;
The Partnership will distribute 100% of the shares of FTAI Infrastructure to FTAI and Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Master GP LLC (the “Master GP”) pro rata in accordance with FTAI’s and the Master GP's interests in the Partnership, and FTAI will distribute to FTAI shareholders one share of FTAI Infrastructure per share of FTAI, representing FTAI’s entire interest in FTAI Infrastructure.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Following the separation, FTAI shareholders will own approximately 99.99% of FTAI Infrastructure and the Master GP will hold approximately 0.01% of FTAI Infrastructure, and the Master GP will not have any further rights to any additional economics of FTAI Infrastructure, other than the shares it will own following the spin-off; and
Following the separation, FTAI will continue to remain obligated under its existing debt agreements, which includes 6.50% senior notes due 2025, 9.75% senior notes due 2027, 5.50% senior notes due 2028, and a revolving credit agreement, and will retain the Aviation Subsidiaries; and FTAI Infrastructure will hold the Infrastructure Subsidiaries.
The New Financing
In connection with the spin-off, FTAI Infrastructure will enter into the New Financing, the terms of which are subject to change and will be finalized prior to the closing of the spin-off.
Senior Secured Debt Financing
In connection with the New Financing it is currently anticipated that we or one of our subsidiaries will issue approximately $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured debt (the “Proposed Debt Financing”). We anticipate that the debt will mature on the five-year anniversary of their issuance, and bear interest at a rate per annum of approximately 8.00%. It is anticipated that the debt would be secured, subject to permitted liens, by a first-priority lien on our assets and the proceeds thereof. We anticipate that the agreement governing such debt would contain customary terms and covenants, including restrictive covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, create liens, make certain investments, pay dividends or make other distributions, sell or transfer assets, merge or consolidate with another entity and engage in transactions with affiliates. However, the timing, terms and size of the Proposed Debt Financing is dependent on market conditions and our ability to access the debt markets on terms acceptable to us. Any net proceeds received in connection therewith will be paid to FTAI in connection with the spin-off.
Preferred Stock and Warrants
In connection with the New Financing, it is currently anticipated that we will raise approximately $300.0 million of preferred equity financing, consisting of Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants (as defined below).
Upon consummation of the spin-off, the Company will have approximately 300,000 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock will not be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will have an initial stated value of $1,000. We expect to pay dividends of 10.0% per annum, or 12.0% in kind per annum at our discretion. For more information, see the section entitled “Description of Our Capital Stock-Series A Preferred Stock” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
The Company will issue to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (i) warrants (the “Series I Warrants”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $10.00 per share (as adjusted in accordance with the agreement governing the Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”), exercisable until the Expiration Time (as defined below); and (ii) warrants (the “Series II Warrants”, and together with the Series I Warrants, the “Warrants”) entitling holders thereof to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share, exercisable until the Expiration Time.
The Warrants will expire (the “Expiration Time”) upon the earlier of (i) the eight-year anniversary of their issuance or (ii) a sale of the Company.
Future Financing
We have historically relied in part upon FTAI to provide credit support or fund our working capital requirements and other cash requirements. After the separation and distribution, we will not be able to rely on the earnings, assets or cash flow of FTAI, and FTAI will not provide credit support or funds to finance our working capital or other cash requirements. As a result, after the separation and distribution, we will be responsible for servicing our own debt and obtaining and maintaining sufficient working capital and other funds to satisfy our cash requirements. After the spin-off, our access to and cost of debt financing will be different from the historical access to and cost of debt financing under FTAI. Differences in access to and cost of debt financing may result in differences in the interest rates charged to us on financings, as well as the amount of indebtedness, types of financing structures and debt markets that may be available to us. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the New Financing, as well as any future debt that we may incur, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future from operations, financings and/or asset sales. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

Reasons for the Spin-Off
FTAI’s board of directors periodically reviews strategic alternatives. The FTAI board of directors, and a special committee thereof, determined upon careful review and consideration that the spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure is in the best interests of FTAI. The FTAI board of directors’ determination to move forward was based on a number of factors, including those set forth below.
Creates two independent companies, each with the opportunity to pursue growth through the execution of distinctly different business plans. We and FTAI’s board of directors believe that having two independent companies with distinct investment profiles will maximize the strategic focus and financial flexibility of each company to grow and return capital to stockholders. We and FTAI’s board of directors believe that the two businesses, each with a clear focus, strong, independent boards of directors, and strengthened balance sheets, will create greater shareholder value as two companies than as one.
Enhances investor transparency, better highlights the attributes of both companies, and provides investors with the option to invest in one or both companies. The separation will provide each shareholder the opportunity to make an individual allocation of capital to one or both of the two differentiated businesses, each with a distinct investment risk/return profile. In addition, we and FTAI’s board of directors believe the separation will make FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI more competitive and appealing to a broader investor audience moving forward, providing them with the opportunity to invest in two companies with compelling value propositions and distinct investment strategies. Investors can increase their allocation to FTAI Infrastructure or to FTAI, depending on their preference.
Tailored capital structure and financing options. Each company will have the flexibility to create a capital structure tailored to its needs, and each may be able to attain more favorable financing terms separately. In addition, tailored capital structures will facilitate each company’s ability to pursue acquisitions, possibly using common stock, and other strategic alliances.
Stock ownership. We believe the conversion of FTAI Infrastructure to a Delaware corporation and the subsequent spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure will make it easier for both domestic and international investors to own its stock and help simplify shareholders’ tax reporting, which we expect should provide for significant growth potential for our shareholders. In addition, FTAI’s subsequent restructuring from a publicly traded partnership to a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes is also expected to provide for significant growth potential for FTAI’s shareholders.
The board of directors of FTAI also considered a number of potentially negative factors in evaluating the separation, including the following:
Anticipated benefits of the separation may not be realized. Following the separation, FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI will be independent companies. FTAI Infrastructure and/or FTAI may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that it expects to achieve as a company independent from the other in the time it expects, if at all.
There may be disruptions to the business as a result of the separation. The actions required to separate FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI could disrupt FTAI Infrastructure’s and FTAI’s operations after the separation. The separation and distribution may divert management’s time and attention, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Costs of the separation. FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI will incur costs in connection with the transition to being separate public companies that include accounting, tax, legal and other professional service costs. In addition, FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI will incur costs in connection with operating as separate, stand-alone public companies that the combined company otherwise shared, such as expenses associated with reporting and compliance as public companies and separate management and incentive fees, working capital requirements, overhead, insurance, financing and other operating costs, as well the potentially higher cost of capital as separate companies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There may be conflicts between FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI. There may be, or there may be the appearance of, conflicts of interest in FTAI Infrastructure’s relationship with FTAI. We expect certain directors to overlap at least at the outset and we expect that, if and to the extent matters come before the board as to which there is a conflict between the two companies, that the companies would take appropriate steps so that decisions with respect to such matters are made by disinterested and independent directors. The agreements between FTAI and us, if any, generally will not limit or restrict FTAI or its affiliates from engaging in any business or managing other entities that engage in business of the type conducted by us. Actual, potential, or perceived conflicts could give rise to investor dissatisfaction, settlements with stockholders, litigation, or regulatory inquiries or enforcement actions.
As part of the FTAI board of director's process, the members of the special committee were involved in various discussions since February 2021 related to investor relations, share price and certain value creation solutions, including but not limited to, a discussion to potentially spin out FTAI's infrastructure business. During this time, the FTAI board of directors discussed FTAI's projections, financial and otherwise, continuing as a consolidated business versus spinning off the infrastructure business and decided there was sufficient growth potential to split FTAI into two independent publicly-traded companies. FTAI also made a large acquisition of Transtar from U.S. Steel which bolstered its infrastructure business and EBITDA projections. The members of the special committee, as part of the full FTAI board of director's process, had a number of discussions with management as they explored the potential of spinning out the infrastructure business and considered various topics, including potential additional expenses related to running two public companies, potential market and analyst reactions to a spin-off for both FTAI and the new entity, the post-split projected economics, and potential capital structures for the two entities post-spin-off and how each could create greater shareholder value. The special committee concluded that the proposed spin-off is in the best interests of FTAI and its shareholders.
Following the separation, FTAI Infrastructure will be an infrastructure assets company and will not operate under the umbrella of FTAI. FTAI Infrastructure’s business may be negatively impacted by this loss of operating diversity, including the purchasing power, financing options, and ability to share overhead costs associated with operating as part of a larger organization. The board of directors of FTAI concluded that the potential benefits of the separation outweighed these factors. For more information about the risks associated with the spin-off, see “Risk Factors.”
Our Manager and Our Management Agreement
Our Manager is an affiliate of Fortress, a leading global investment management firm. Our management agreement between us and our Manager (the “Management Agreement”) will require our Manager to manage our business affairs in conformity with the broad investment guidelines adopted and monitored by our board of directors. For more information about our investment guidelines, see “Our Manager and Management Agreement” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
Our Management Agreement has an initial six-year term and will be automatically renewed for one-year terms thereafter unless terminated either by us or our Manager. Our Manager is entitled to receive from us a management fee and incentive compensation that is based on our performance. In addition, we are obligated to reimburse certain expenses incurred by our Manager. Our Manager is also entitled to receive a termination fee from us under certain circumstances. The terms of our Management Agreement are summarized below and described in more detail under “Our Manager and Management Agreement” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
Type
Description
Management Fee
We will pay a management fee equal to 1.5% per annum of our total equity, which will be calculated and payable monthly in arrears in cash. Total equity is our equity value (including any preferred equity), determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, but reduced proportionately in the case of a subsidiary to the extent we own, directly or indirectly, less than 100% of the equity interests in such subsidiary.
 
 
Incentive Compensation
Under the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager will be entitled to an income incentive fee (the “Income Incentive Fee”). The Income Incentive Fee is calculated and paid quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net

income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net income means, with respect to a calendar quarter, net income attributable to shareholders during such quarter calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP excluding our pro rata share of (1) realized or unrealized gains and losses, (2) certain non-cash or one-time items and (3) any other adjustments as may be approved by our independent directors. Pre-incentive fee net income does not include any Income Incentive Fees or Capital Gains Incentive Fees (described below) paid to our Manager during the relevant quarter.
 
 
 
We pay our Manager the Income Incentive Fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Income Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net income, expressed as a rate of return on the average value of our net equity capital (excluding non-controlling interests) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, does not exceed 2% for such quarter (8% annualized); (2) 100% of pre-incentive fee net income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net income, if any, that is equal to or exceeds 2% but does not exceed 2.2223% for such quarter; and (3) 10% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net income, if any, that exceeds 2.2223% for such quarter. These calculations will be prorated for any period of less than three months.
 
 
 
Under the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager will also be entitled to a capital gains incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”). The Capital Gains Incentive Fee is calculated and distributable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year and is equal to 10% of our pro rata share of cumulative realized gains from the date of the spin-off through the end of the applicable calendar year, net of our pro rata share of cumulative realized or unrealized losses, the cumulative non-cash portion of equity-based compensation expenses and all realized gains upon which prior performance-based Capital Gains Incentive Fee payments were made to our Manager.
 
 
Reimbursement of Expenses
We will pay all of our operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. The expenses required to be paid by us include, but are not limited to, issuance and transaction costs incident to the acquisition, disposition and financing of our assets, legal and auditing fees and expenses, the compensation and expenses of our independent directors, the costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of any credit facilities and other indebtedness of ours (including commitment fees, legal fees, closing costs, etc.), expenses associated with other securities offerings of ours, costs and expenses incurred in contracting with third parties (including affiliates of the Manager), the costs of printing and mailing proxies and reports to our stockholders, costs incurred by the Manager or its affiliates for travel on our behalf, costs associated with any computer software or hardware that is used by us, costs to obtain liability insurance to indemnify our directors and officers and the compensation and expenses of our transfer agent, and all other expenses incurred by our Manager which are reasonably necessary for the performance of its duties under the Management Agreement.
 
 
 
We will pay or reimburse the Manager and its affiliates for performing certain legal, accounting, due diligence tasks and other services that outside professionals or outside consultants otherwise would perform, provided that such costs and reimbursements are no greater than those which would be paid to outside professionals or consultants. The Manager is responsible for all of its other costs incident to the performance of its duties under the Management

Agreement, including compensation of the Manager’s employees, rent for facilities and other “overhead” expenses; we will not reimburse the Manager for these expenses.
 
 
Termination Fees
If we terminate the Management Agreement, we will generally be required to pay the Manager a termination fee. The termination fee is equal to (i) the amount of the management fee during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the termination and (ii) the amount of the Income Incentive Fee and Capital Gains Incentive Fee as if our assets were sold for cash at their then current fair market value.
Summary Risk Factors
You should carefully read and consider the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors,” as well as all other information contained in this Information Statement. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have no operating history as an independent company and may not be able to successfully execute our business strategy, generate sufficient revenue to make or sustain distributions to our stockholders or meet our contractual commitments.
The financial information included in this Information Statement may not be indicative of the results we would have achieved as a separate stand-alone company and are not a reliable indicator of our future performance or results.
A pandemic, including the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Uncertainty relating to macroeconomic conditions may reduce the demand for our assets, limit our ability to obtain additional capital to finance new investments, or refinance existing debt, or have other unforeseen negative effects.
The industries in which we operate have experienced periods of oversupply during which lease rates and asset values have declined, particularly during the most recent economic downturn, and any future oversupply could materially adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.
There can be no assurance that any target returns will be achieved.
Contractual defaults may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by decreasing revenues and increasing storage, positioning, collection, recovery and lost equipment expenses.
If we acquire a high concentration of a particular type of asset, or concentrate our investments in a particular sector, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in market demand or problems specific to that asset or sector.
We may not generate a sufficient amount of cash or generate sufficient free cash flow to fund our operations or repay our indebtedness.
Risks Related to Our Manager
We are dependent on our Manager and other key personnel at Fortress and may not find suitable replacements if our Manager terminates the Management Agreement or if other key personnel depart.
There are conflicts of interest in our relationship with our Manager.
Our directors have approved a broad asset acquisition strategy for our Manager and will not approve each acquisition we make at the direction of our Manager. In addition, we may change our strategy without a stockholder vote, which may result in our acquiring assets that are different, riskier or less profitable than our current assets.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Manager will not be liable to us for any acts or omissions performed in accordance with the Management Agreement, including with respect to the performance of our assets.
Our Manager’s due diligence of potential asset acquisitions or other transactions may not identify all pertinent risks, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Risks Related to the Separation
We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from our separation from FTAI.
Our agreements with FTAI may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm’s-length negotiations among unaffiliated third parties.
The ownership by some of our executive officers and directors of common shares, options, or other equity awards of FTAI may create, or may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest.
We may compete with affiliates of or entities managed by our Manager, including FTAI, which could adversely affect our and their results of operations.
We will share certain key directors and officers with FTAI, which means those officers will not devote their full time and attention to our affairs and the overlap may give rise to conflicts.
We expect to incur indebtedness in connection with the separation from FTAI, and the degree to which we will be leveraged could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile, which could result in rapid and substantial losses for our stockholders.
An increase in market interest rates may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
There can be no assurance that the market for our stock will provide you with adequate liquidity.
Substantial sales of common stock may occur in connection with the distribution, which could cause our stock price to decline.
We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our securities less attractive to investors.
Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
Your percentage ownership in our company may be diluted in the future.
Our common stock will be subject to ownership and transfer restrictions intended to preserve our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.
Conflicts of Interest
Although we will establish certain policies and procedures designed to mitigate conflicts of interest, there can be no assurance that these policies and procedures will be effective in doing so. It is possible that actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest could give rise to investor dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. Below is a summary of certain factors that could result in conflicts of interest.
One or more of our officers and directors will have responsibilities and commitments to entities other than us, including, but not limited to, FTAI. In addition, we will not have a policy that expressly prohibits our directors, officers, securityholders or affiliates from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by us. Moreover, our certificate of incorporation will provide that if any of FTAI, Fortress or SoftBank Group Corp. (“SoftBank”) and their respective affiliates, including the Manager and Master GP (the “Fortress Parties”), or any of their officers, directors or employees acquire knowledge of a potential transaction that could be a corporate opportunity for us, they have no duty, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to offer such corporate opportunity to us. In the event that any of our directors and officers who is also a director, officer or employee of any of the Fortress Parties acquires knowledge of a corporate opportunity or is offered a corporate opportunity, provided that this
10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

knowledge was not acquired solely in such person’s capacity as a director or officer of us and such person acts in good faith, then such person is deemed to have fully satisfied such person’s fiduciary duties owed to us and is not liable to us, to the fullest extent permitted by law, if any of the Fortress Parties or their respective affiliates, pursues or acquires the corporate opportunity or if such person does not present the corporate opportunity to us. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Manager—There are conflicts of interest in our relationship with our Manager.”
Our key agreements, including our Management Agreement, were negotiated among related parties, and their respective terms, including fees and other amounts payable, may not be as favorable to us as terms negotiated on an arm’s-length basis with unaffiliated parties.
The structure of the Manager’s compensation arrangement may have unintended consequences for us. We have agreed to pay our Manager a management fee that is not tied to our performance and incentive compensation that is based entirely on our performance. The management fee may not sufficiently incentivize our Manager to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for us, while the performance-based incentive compensation component may cause our Manager to place undue emphasis on the maximization of earnings, including through the use of leverage, at the expense of other objectives, such as preservation of capital, to achieve higher incentive distributions. Since investments with higher yield potential are generally riskier or more speculative than investments with lower yield potential, this could result in increased risk to the value of our portfolio of assets and your investment in us.
We may compete with entities affiliated with or managed by our Manager or Fortress for certain assets that we may seek to acquire. From time to time, entities affiliated with or managed by our Manager or Fortress may focus on investments in assets with a similar profile as our target assets. These entities may have meaningful purchasing capacity, which may change over time depending upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, available equity capital and debt financing, market conditions and cash on hand. Fortress has funds invested in transportation-related infrastructure with approximately $3.5 billion in investments in aggregate as of both December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. Fortress funds generally have a fee structure similar to the structure of the fees in our Management Agreement, but the fees actually paid will vary depending on the size, terms and performance of each fund.
Our Manager may determine, in its discretion, to make a particular investment through an investment vehicle other than us. Investment allocation decisions will reflect a variety of factors, such as a particular vehicle’s availability of capital (including financing), investment objectives and concentration limits, legal, regulatory, tax and other similar considerations, the source of the investment opportunity and other factors that the Manager, in its discretion, deems appropriate. Our Manager does not have an obligation to offer us the opportunity to participate in any particular investment, even if it meets our investment objectives.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved under Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), respectively. We may take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to us as long as we qualify as an emerging growth company.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” This election is irrevocable.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (b) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration

statement under the Securities Act, (c) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.
Corporate Information
We were formed on December 13, 2021 as FTAI Infrastructure LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of FTAI. Prior to the completion of the spin-off, we will convert into FTAI Infrastructure Inc., a Delaware corporation. On    , 2022, we will be spun off from FTAI through the distribution of all of the shares of our common stock owned by FTAI to the holders of FTAI’s common shares on the record date for the distribution and become a stand-alone publicly traded company. Our principal executive offices are located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 45th Floor, New York, NY 10105, care of FTAI Infrastructure LLC. Our telephone number is (212) 798-6100.

Questions and Answers about FTAI Infrastructure and the Spin-Off
The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the spin-off. They may not include all the information that is important to you. We encourage you to read carefully this entire Information Statement and the other documents to which we have referred you. We have included references in certain parts of this section to direct you to a more detailed discussion of each topic presented in this section.
What is FTAI Infrastructure Inc. and why is FTAI separating its business and distributing FTAI Infrastructure common stock?
We were formed on December 13, 2021 as FTAI Infrastructure LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of FTAI. Prior to the completion of the spin-off, we will convert into FTAI Infrastructure Inc., a Delaware corporation and will hold, directly or indirectly, all of the material assets and investments comprising FTAI's infrastructure business: (i) the Jefferson Terminal, a multi-modal crude oil and refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas, (ii) Repauno, a deep-water port located along the Delaware River with an underground storage cavern and multiple industrial development opportunities, (iii) Long Ridge, an equity method investment in a multi-modal terminal located along the Ohio River with multiple industrial development opportunities, including a power plant in operation, (iv) Transtar, comprising five freight railroads and one switching company that provide rail service to certain manufacturing and production facilities, (v) Aleon and Gladieux, an equity method investment in two ventures developing battery and metal recycling technology, (vi) KRS, a tank car cleaning and repair business, (vii) Clean Planet USA, a green-tech company that is developing recycling facilities to process traditionally non-recyclable waste plastics in key North American markets, (viii) FYX, an operating company that provides roadside assistance services for the intermodal and over-the-road trucking industries, (ix) CarbonFree, a business that develops technologies to capture carbon dioxide from industrial emissions sources and (x) Containers, which consists of containers that are owned and leased. As part of the spin-off, these infrastructure businesses will be contributed to a new holding company which will result in the infrastructure business being considered the predecessor of the newly formed FTAI Infrastructure. Following the completion of the spin-off, FTAI plans to undertake the Aviation Merger, subject to shareholder approval. The separation of FTAI Infrastructure from FTAI and the distribution of FTAI Infrastructure common stock are intended to create two independent companies, enhance investor transparency, better highlight the attributes of both companies and allow for tailored capital structure and financing options. FTAI and FTAI Infrastructure expect that the separation will result in enhanced long-term performance of each business for the reasons discussed in the section entitled “Our Spin-Off from FTAI—Reasons for the Spin-Off.” In connection with the spin-off transaction, FTAI is being treated as the accounting spinnor, consistent with the legal form of the transaction.
 
 
Why am I receiving this document?
You are receiving this document because you are a holder of FTAI common shares on the record date for the distribution and, as such, will be entitled to receive shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock upon completion of the transactions described in this Information Statement. We are sending you this document to inform you about the spin-off and to provide you with information about FTAI Infrastructure and its business and operations upon completion of the spin-off.
 
 
Who is entitled to receive the distribution and what will they receive?
Holders of FTAI common shares as of    , 2022, the record date of the spin-off, will be entitled to receive shares of our common stock. For each FTAI common share held on the record date, FTAI common shareholders will receive one share of FTAI Infrastructure common stock.
 
 
 
Immediately after the distribution, holders of FTAI common shares as of the record date will hold all of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Based on the number of FTAI common shares outstanding on April 1, 2022, FTAI expects to distribute approximately 99,188,696 shares of our common stock in the spin-off.
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Why is the spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure structured as a distribution?
FTAI believes that a distribution of our common stock is an efficient way to separate our assets from the rest of FTAI’s portfolio and that the spin-off will create benefits and value for us and FTAI. For more information on the reasons for the spin-off, see “Our Spin-Off from FTAI—Reasons for the Spin-Off.”
 
 
What business will FTAI Infrastructure engage in after the spin-off?
FTAI Infrastructure will continue to focus on investments in infrastructure assets. For more detail on FTAI Infrastructure’s business, see “Business.”
 
 
When will the distribution occur?
We expect that FTAI will distribute the shares of our common stock on   , 2022 to holders of record of FTAI common shares on   , 2022, subject to certain conditions described under “Our Spin-Off from FTAI—Conditions to the Distribution.”
 
 
What do I need to do to receive my shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock?
As long as you hold FTAI common shares as of the record date, you will not need to take any action to receive common stock of FTAI Infrastructure in the distribution. You will not be required to make any payment, surrender or exchange your FTAI common shares or take any other action to receive your shares of our common stock. No shareholder approval of the distribution is required or sought. We are not asking you for a proxy, and you are requested not to send us a proxy. However, if you sell FTAI common shares in the “regular-way” market through the distribution date, you will also be selling your right to receive shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock in the distribution. For more information, see “Our Spin-Off from FTAI—Market for Common Stock—Trading Between the Record Date and Distribution Date” in this Information Statement. Following the distribution, shareholders whose shares are held in book-entry form may request that their shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock held in book-entry form be transferred to a brokerage or other account at any time, without charge.
 
 
What will govern my rights as an FTAI Infrastructure stockholder?
Your rights as an FTAI Infrastructure stockholder will be governed by Delaware law, as well as our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. Except with respect to ownership and transfer restrictions intended to preserve our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes, and the exclusive forum provisions, there are no material changes in stockholder rights between the stockholder rights at FTAI and FTAI Infrastructure. A description of these rights is included in this Information Statement under the heading “Description of Our Capital Stock.”
 
 
Will I be taxed on the shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock that I receive in the distribution?
In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, your receipt of FTAI Infrastructure common stock is not expected to be taxable.

However, the tax consequences to you of the spin-off will depend on your individual situation, and certain shareholders may be subject to different consequences than those described herein. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of the distribution to you, including the applicability of any U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws. For more information, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
Can FTAI decide to cancel the distribution of the common stock even if all the conditions have been met?
Yes. Although the distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, see “Our Spin-Off from FTAI—Conditions to the Distribution” included elsewhere in this Information Statement, FTAI has the right not to complete the distribution if at any time prior to the distribution date (even if all of the conditions are satisfied), its board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the distribution is not in the best interests of FTAI or that market conditions are such that it is not advisable to separate FTAI Infrastructure from FTAI.
 
 
 
The conditions to the distribution are that: (i) our registration statement on Form 10, of which this Information Statement is a part, shall have become effective under the Exchange Act, and no stop order relating to the registration statement shall be in effect;
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 
(ii) all other actions and filings necessary or appropriate under applicable federal or state securities laws and state blue sky laws in connection with the transactions shall have been taken; (iii) an outside valuation advisory firm or firms acceptable to FTAI shall have delivered one or more opinions to the board of directors of FTAI regarding solvency and capital adequacy matters with respect to FTAI and FTAI Infrastructure after consummation of the distribution, and such opinions shall be acceptable to FTAI in form and substance in FTAI’s sole discretion and such opinions shall not have been withdrawn or rescinded; (iv) the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq shall have been approved, subject to official notice of issuance; (v) the Restructuring Transactions shall have been completed; (vi) any ancillary agreements shall have been executed and delivered by each of FTAI and us, as applicable, and no party to any of the ancillary agreements will be in material breach of any such agreement; (vii) any material governmental and third-party approvals shall have been obtained and be in full force and effect; and (viii) no order, injunction or decree issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing consummation of the distribution or any of the transactions related thereto, including the transfers of assets and liabilities contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, shall be in effect. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived. In addition, if the separation is completed and FTAI’s board of directors waives any such condition, such waiver could have a material adverse effect on FTAI’s and FTAI Infrastructure’s respective business, financial condition or results of operations, including, without limitation, as a result of illiquid trading due to the failure of FTAI Infrastructure common stock to be accepted for listing, litigation relating to any preliminary or permanent injunctions that sought to prevent the consummation of the separation, or the failure of FTAI or FTAI Infrastructure to obtain any required regulatory approvals. As of the date hereof, the board of directors of FTAI does not intend to waive any of the conditions described herein and would only consider such a waiver if it determined that such action was in the best interests of FTAI and its shareholders.
 
 
 
The fulfillment of the above conditions will not create any obligation on behalf of FTAI to effect the separation. Until the separation has occurred, FTAI has the right to terminate the separation, even if all the conditions have been satisfied, if the board of directors of FTAI determines, in its sole discretion, that the separation is not in the best interests of FTAI and its shareholders or that market conditions or other circumstances are such that the separation of FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI is no longer advisable at that time.
 
 
Does FTAI Infrastructure plan to pay dividends?
We intend to make regular quarterly dividends to holders of our common stock out of assets legally available for this purpose, subject to satisfactory financial performance and approval by our board of directors. However, our ability to pay dividends is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including actual results of operations, liquidity and financial condition restrictions under Delaware law, limitations under our contractual agreements, including the agreements governing the New Financing, our financial condition, our taxable income, our operating expenses and other factors our directors may deem relevant. As such, there can be no assurance regarding whether we will pay dividends in the future. For more information, see “Dividend Policy” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
How will distributions from FTAI Infrastructure be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, distributions from FTAI Infrastructure following the spin-off are generally expected to be treated as dividends to the extent paid out of FTAI Infrastructure’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with any excess dividends treated as return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s basis (thereby reducing that basis) and as capital gain from the sale of FTAI Infrastructure stock thereafter. Such dividends are generally expected to be treated as “qualified dividend income” in the case of non-corporate holders and as eligible for the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate holders, in each case subject to
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 
holding period and other requirements.
 
 
 
Non-U.S. stockholders may be subject to 30% withholding tax on distributions to the extent of FTAI Infrastructure's earnings and profits, subject to potential reduction by treaty. Because FTAI Infrastructure is expected to be a U.S. real property holding corporation, withholding may be required equal to 15% of any distribution to a non-U.S. stockholder that exceeds FTAI Infrastructure’s earnings and profits if FTAI Infrastructure common stock is not then treated as regularly traded on an established securities market. Non-U.S. stockholders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences and reporting requirements related to distributions and gains under the tax laws of the United States and of their jurisdiction of residence. For more information, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
How will the spin-off affect my tax basis and holding period in FTAI common shares?
Your tax basis in FTAI common shares held at the time of the distribution generally will be reduced (but not below zero) by FTAI’s tax basis immediately prior to the distribution in the FTAI Infrastructure common stock received by you. Your holding period for such FTAI common shares will not be affected by the distribution. FTAI may not be able to advise stockholders of the tax basis of the distributed shares until after the spin-off occurs. For more information, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
What will my tax basis and holding period be for common stock of FTAI Infrastructure that I receive in the distribution?
Your tax basis in FTAI Infrastructure common stock received in the spin-off will generally be equal to the lesser of (i) FTAI’s basis in such stock on the distribution date, and (ii) your tax basis in FTAI common shares immediately prior to the distribution. FTAI may not be able to advise stockholders of its basis in FTAI Infrastructure common stock until after the spin-off occurs.
 
 
 
Your holding period in FTAI Infrastructure common stock received in the spin-off will generally equal FTAI’s holding period in FTAI Infrastructure common stock, which may be divided into blocks. For more information, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
Will FTAI Infrastructure have any debt?
Yes. We expect to enter into the New Financing, which is expected to raise approximately $500.0 million of debt financing in the Proposed Debt Financing and approximately $300.0 million of equity financing, consisting of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants, the proceeds of which will be distributed or otherwise transferred to FTAI in connection with the spin-off. FTAI Infrastructure may also seek other forms of financing. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries will continue to be obligated under a revolving credit facility (the “DRP Revolver”) that provides for revolving loans in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million, the Series 2020 Bonds and the Series 2021 Bonds. For additional information relating to our planned financing arrangements, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
What will the spin-off cost?
FTAI expects to incur pre-tax costs of approximately $1.9 million in connection with the spin-off.
 
 
What will be the relationships between FTAI and FTAI Infrastructure following the spin-off?
Before the spin-off, we will enter into a Separation and Distribution Agreement to effect the spin-off. This agreement will provide for the allocation between us and FTAI of FTAI’s assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to the spin-off. We cannot assure you that this agreement will be on terms as favorable to us as it may have been if negotiated at arms-length between unaffiliated parties. For more information, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
Will I receive physical certificates representing
No. Following the spin-off, neither FTAI nor FTAI Infrastructure will be issuing physical certificates representing shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock. Instead, FTAI, with

shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock following the spin-off?
the assistance of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), the distribution agent, will electronically issue shares of our common stock to you or to your bank or brokerage firm on your behalf by way of direct registration in book-entry form. The distribution agent will mail you a book-entry account statement that reflects your shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock, or your bank or brokerage firm will credit your account for the shares. A benefit of issuing stock electronically in book-entry form is that there will be none of the physical handling and safekeeping responsibilities that are inherent in owning physical stock certificates.
 
 
 
You should consult with your financial advisors, such as your stockbroker, bank or tax advisor. Neither FTAI nor FTAI Infrastructure makes any recommendations on the purchase, retention or sale of FTAI common shares or the FTAI Infrastructure common stock to be distributed.
 
 
What if I want to sell my FTAI common shares or my FTAI Infrastructure common stock, and where will I be able to trade shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock?
If you decide to sell any shares before the distribution, you should make sure your stockbroker, bank or other nominee understands whether you want to sell your FTAI common shares, the FTAI Infrastructure common stock you will receive in the distribution, or both.

There is not currently a public market for FTAI Infrastructure’s common stock. FTAI Infrastructure has applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “FIP.” We anticipate that trading in shares of our common stock will begin on a “when-issued” basis on or shortly before the record date and will continue through the distribution date and that “regular-way” trading in shares of our common stock will begin on the first trading day following the distribution date. If trading begins on a “when-issued” basis, you may purchase or sell our common stock up to and including through the distribution date, but your transaction will not settle until after the distribution date. If the distribution is cancelled, your transaction will not settle and will have to be disqualified. For more information, see “Our Spin-Off from FTAI—Market for Common Stock—Trading Between the Record Date and Distribution Date” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
Will the number of FTAI common shares I own change as a result of the distribution?
No. The number of FTAI common shares you own will not change as a result of the distribution.
 
 
What will happen to the listing of FTAI common shares?
Nothing. It is expected that after the distribution of FTAI Infrastructure common stock, FTAI common shares will continue to be traded on Nasdaq under the symbol “FTAI.”
 
 
Will the distribution affect the market price of my FTAI shares?
Yes. As a result of the distribution, we expect the trading price of FTAI common shares immediately following the distribution to be lower than immediately prior to the distribution, because the trading price will no longer reflect the value of FTAI Infrastructure’s assets. Furthermore, until the market has fully analyzed the value of FTAI without FTAI Infrastructure’s assets, the price of FTAI common shares may fluctuate significantly. In addition, although FTAI believes that over time following the spin-off, the common shares and stock of the separated companies should have a higher aggregate market value than the combined company, on a fully distributed basis and assuming similar market conditions pre- and post-spin-off, there can be no assurance in this regard. It is possible that the combined trading prices of FTAI common shares and FTAI Infrastructure common stock after the distribution may be equal to or less than the trading price of FTAI common shares before the distribution.

the FTAI Infrastructure common stock to be distributed in the separation shall have been accepted for listing on Nasdaq, subject to compliance with applicable listing requirements;
 
 
 
 
 
 
the Restructuring Transactions shall have been completed;
 
 
 
 
 
 
any ancillary agreements shall have been executed and delivered by each of FTAI and us, as applicable, and no party to any of the ancillary agreements will be in material breach of any such agreement;

We cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived. In addition, if the separation is completed and FTAI’s board of directors waives any such condition, such waiver could have a material adverse effect on FTAI’s and FTAI Infrastructure’s respective business, financial condition or results of operations, including, without limitation, as a result of illiquid trading due to the failure of FTAI Infrastructure common stock to be accepted for listing, litigation relating to any preliminary or permanent injunctions that sought to prevent the consummation of the separation, or the failure of FTAI or FTAI Infrastructure to obtain any required regulatory approvals. As of the date hereof, the board of directors of FTAI does not intend to waive any of the conditions described herein and would only consider such a waiver if it determined that such action was in the best interests of FTAI and its shareholders.
 
 
 
 
 
The fulfillment of the above conditions will not create any obligation on behalf of FTAI to effect the separation. Until the separation has occurred, FTAI has the right to terminate the separation, even if all the conditions have been satisfied, if the board of directors of FTAI determines, in its sole discretion, that the separation is not in the best interests of FTAI and its shareholders or that market conditions or other circumstances are such that the separation of FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI is no longer advisable at that time.
 
 
 
 
 
We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “FIP.” We anticipate that on or prior to the record date for the distribution, trading of our common stock will begin on a “when-issued” basis and will continue up to and including the distribution date.

Following the spin-off, you will hold shares in a U.S. corporation. All of the net income attributable to FTAI Infrastructure will be subject to U.S. federal (and state and local) corporate income taxes, which we do not anticipate will have a material impact on stockholder returns because such assets were held in corporate subsidiaries of FTAI prior to the spin-off.
 
 
 
 
Tax considerations
You should consult your tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of the distribution to you, including the applicability of any U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws with respect to distributions from a U.S. corporation to you and with respect to sale or other transfers of stock in a U.S. corporation. For more information, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
 
 
Separation and Distribution Agreement
Before the distribution, we will enter into the Separation and Distribution Agreement to effect the spin-off. This agreement will provide for the allocation between us and FTAI of FTAI’s assets, liabilities and obligations (including tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to our spin-off from FTAI. For a discussion of this and other arrangements, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
 
 
 
 
Equitable adjustment of options in connection with the distribution
In connection with the distribution, each FTAI option held as of the date of the distribution by our Manager or by the directors, officers, employees, service providers, consultants and advisors of our Manager will be converted into an adjusted FTAI option and a new FTAI Infrastructure option. The exercise price of each adjusted FTAI option and FTAI Infrastructure option will be set to collectively maintain the intrinsic value of the FTAI option immediately prior to the distribution and to maintain the ratio of the exercise price of the adjusted FTAI option and the FTAI Infrastructure option, respectively, to the fair market value of the underlying shares as of the distribution. The terms and conditions applicable to each FTAI Infrastructure option will be substantially similar to the terms and conditions otherwise applicable to the FTAI option as of the date of distribution. The grant of such FTAI Infrastructure options will not reduce the number of shares of our common stock otherwise available for issuance under the Plan (as defined below).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risks and other information in this Information Statement in evaluating us and our common stock. Any of the following risks, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition. The risk factors generally have been separated into the following groups: risks related to our business, risks related to our Manager, risks related to the separation and risks related to our common stock. However, these categories do overlap and should not be considered exclusive.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have no operating history as an independent company and may not be able to successfully operate our business strategy, generate sufficient revenue to make or sustain distributions to our stockholders or meet our contractual commitments.
We have no experience operating as an independent company and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully operate our business or implement our operating policies and strategies as described in this Information Statement. The timing, terms, price and form of consideration that we pay in future transactions may vary meaningfully from prior transactions.
Once we commence operations as an independent company, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient returns to pay our operating expenses and make satisfactory distributions to our stockholders, or any distributions at all. Our results of operations and our ability to make or sustain distributions to our stockholders depend on several factors, including the availability of opportunities to acquire attractive assets, the level and volatility of interest rates, the availability of adequate short- and long-term financing, the financial markets and economic conditions.
The financial information included in this Information Statement may not be indicative of the results we would have achieved as a separate stand-alone company and are not a reliable indicator of our future performance or results.
We did not operate as a separate, stand-alone company for the entirety of the historical periods presented in the financial information included in this Information Statement, which has been derived from FTAI’s historical financial statements. Therefore, the financial information in this Information Statement does not necessarily reflect what our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone public company prior to our spin-off from FTAI. This is primarily a result of the following factors:
the financial results in this Information Statement do not reflect all of the expenses we will incur as a public company;
the working capital requirements and capital for general corporate purposes for our assets were satisfied prior to the spin-off as part of FTAI’s corporate-wide cash management policies. FTAI is not required, and does not intend, to provide us with funds to finance our working capital or other cash requirements, so we may need to obtain additional financing from banks, through public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities, strategic relationships or other arrangements; and
our cost structure, management, financing and business operations will be significantly different as a result of operating as an independent public company. These changes result in increased costs, including, but not limited to, fees paid to our Manager, legal, accounting, compliance and other costs associated with being a public company with equity securities traded on Nasdaq.
A pandemic, including COVID-19, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In recent years, the outbreaks of certain highly contagious diseases have increased the risk of a pandemic resulting in economic disruptions. In particular, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions in the market and the global, U.S. and regional economies that may continue for a prolonged duration and trigger a recession or a period of economic slowdown. In response, various governmental bodies and private enterprises have implemented numerous measures to mitigate the outbreak, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns. The COVID-19 outbreak continues to be dynamic and evolving, including a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in certain geographies, and its ultimate scope, duration, effects and the availability of vaccines remain uncertain.
22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected our Jefferson Terminal business in several material ways during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. Although difficult to quantify the impact, the pandemic adversely affected macro trends in refinery utilization rates in the United States and the global consumption of petroleum and liquid fuels in 2020 and part of 2021, which adversely affected our revenue potential at our Jefferson Terminal business. In addition, we were unable to complete anticipated new customer contracts and certain of our existing customers did not increase volumes as anticipated which also adversely affected our revenue potential for those periods.
We expect that this pandemic, and any future epidemic or pandemic crises, could result in direct and indirect adverse effects on our industry and customers, which in turn may impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Effects of the current pandemic have included, or may in the future include, among others:
deterioration of worldwide, regional or national economic conditions and activity, which could adversely affect demand for our services;
disruptions to our operations as a result of the potential health impact, such as the availability and efficacy of vaccines, on our employees and crew, and on the workforces of our customers and business partners;
disruptions to our business from, or additional costs related to, new regulations, directives or practices implemented in response to the pandemic, such as travel restrictions, increased inspection regimes, hygiene measures (such as quarantining and physical distancing) or increased implementation of remote working arrangements;
potential reduced cash flows and financial condition, including potential liquidity constraints;
reduced access to capital, including the ability to refinance any existing obligations, as a result of any credit tightening generally or due to continued declines in global financial markets, including to the prices of publicly traded securities of us, our peers and of listed companies generally; and
potential deterioration in the financial condition and prospects of our customers, joint venture partners or business partners, or attempts by customers or third parties to invoke force majeure contractual clauses as a result of delays or other disruptions.
As COVID-19 continues to evolve, the extent to which COVID-19 impacts operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, and the actions that may be required to try and contain COVID-19 or treat its impact. We continue to monitor the pandemic and, the extent to which the continued spread of the virus adversely affects our customer base and therefore revenue. As the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, our plans as described above may change. At this point, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Uncertainty relating to macroeconomic conditions may reduce the demand for our assets, limit our ability to obtain additional capital to finance new investments or refinance existing debt, or have other unforeseen negative effects.
Uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions in the United States and abroad, including significant tightening of credit markets and commodity price volatility, historically have created difficult operating environments for owners and operators in the infrastructure industry. Many factors, including factors that are beyond our control, may impact our operating results or financial condition. For some years, the world has experienced weakened economic conditions and volatility following adverse changes in global capital markets. Excess supply in oil and gas markets can put significant downward pressure on prices for these commodities, and may affect demand for assets used in production, refining and transportation of oil and gas. In the past, a significant decline in oil prices has led to lower production and transportation budgets worldwide. These conditions have resulted in significant contraction, deleveraging and reduced liquidity in the credit markets. A number of governments have implemented, or are considering implementing, a broad variety of governmental actions or new regulations for the financial markets. In addition, limitations on the availability of capital, higher costs of capital for financing expenditures or the desire to preserve liquidity, may cause our current or prospective customers to make reductions in future capital budgets and spending.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The industries in which we operate have experienced periods of oversupply during which asset values have declined, particularly during the most recent economic downturn, and any future oversupply could materially adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.
The oversupply of a specific asset is likely to depress the value of our assets and result in decreased utilization of our assets, and the industries in which we operate have experienced periods of oversupply during which asset values have declined, particularly during the most recent economic downturn. Factors that could lead to such oversupply include, without limitation:
general demand for the type of assets that we purchase;
general macroeconomic conditions, including market prices for commodities that our assets may serve;
geopolitical events, including war, prolonged armed conflict and acts of terrorism;
outbreaks of communicable diseases and natural disasters;
governmental regulation;
interest rates;
the availability of credit;
restructurings and bankruptcies of companies in the industries in which we operate, including our customers;
manufacturer production levels and technological innovation;
manufacturers merging or exiting the industry or ceasing to produce certain asset types;
retirement and obsolescence of the assets that we own;
increases in supply levels of assets in the market due to the sale or merging of our customers; and
reintroduction of previously unused or dormant assets into the industries in which we operate.
These and other related factors are generally outside of our control and could lead to persistence of, or increase in, the oversupply of the types of assets that we acquire or decreased utilization of our assets, either of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.
There can be no assurance that any target returns will be achieved.
Our target returns for assets are targets only and are not forecasts of future profits. We develop target returns based on our Manager’s assessment of appropriate expectations for returns on assets and the ability of our Manager to enhance the return generated by those assets through active management. There can be no assurance that these assessments and expectations will be achieved and failure to achieve any or all of them may materially adversely impact our ability to achieve any target return with respect to any or all of our assets.
In addition, our target returns are based on estimates and assumptions regarding a number of other factors, including, without limitation, holding periods, the absence of material adverse events affecting specific investments (which could include, without limitation, natural disasters, terrorism, social unrest or civil disturbances), general and local economic and market conditions, changes in law, taxation, regulation or governmental policies and changes in the political approach to infrastructure investment, either generally or in specific countries in which we may invest or seek to invest. Many of these factors, as well as the other risks described elsewhere in this Information Statement, are beyond our control and all could adversely affect our ability to achieve a target return with respect to an asset. Further, target returns are targets for the return generated by specific assets and not by us. Numerous factors could prevent us from achieving similar returns, notwithstanding the performance of individual assets, including, without limitation, taxation and fees payable by us or our operating subsidiaries, including fees and incentive allocation payable to our Manager.
There can be no assurance that the returns generated by any of our assets will meet our target returns, or any other level of return, or that we will achieve or successfully implement our asset acquisition objectives, and failure to achieve the target return in respect of any of our assets could, among other things, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, even if the returns generated by individual assets meet target returns, there can be no assurance that the returns generated by other
24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

existing or future assets would do so, and the historical performance of the assets in our existing portfolio should not be considered as indicative of future results with respect to any assets.
Contractual defaults may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by decreasing revenues and increasing storage, positioning, collection, recovery and lost equipment expenses.
The success of our business depends in large part on the success of the operators in the sectors in which we participate. Cash flows from our assets are substantially impacted by our ability to collect compensation and other amounts to be paid in respect of such assets from the customers with whom we enter into contractual arrangements. Inherent in the nature of the arrangements for the use of such assets is the risk that we may not receive, or may experience delay in realizing, such amounts to be paid. While we target the entry into contracts with credit-worthy counterparties, no assurance can be given that such counterparties will perform their obligations during the term of the contractual arrangement. In addition, when counterparties default, we may fail to recover all of our assets, and the assets we do recover may be returned in damaged condition or to locations where we will not be able to efficiently use or sell them.
If we acquire a high concentration of a particular type of asset, or concentrate our investments in a particular sector, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in market demand or problems specific to that asset or sector.
If we acquire a high concentration of a particular asset, or concentrate our investments in a particular sector, our business and financial results could be adversely affected by sector-specific or asset-specific factors. Furthermore, as a result of the spin-off transaction, our assets will be focused on infrastructure and we will not have any interest in FTAI’s aviation assets, which limits the diversity of our portfolio. Any decrease in the value and rates of our assets may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may not generate a sufficient amount of cash or generate sufficient free cash flow to fund our operations or repay our indebtedness.
Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness as required depends on our ability to generate cash flow in the future. This ability, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we do not generate sufficient free cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, including interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. We cannot provide assurance that any refinancing would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timeliness and amount of proceeds realized from those sales, that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or that additional financing would be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect. Furthermore, our ability to refinance would depend upon the condition of the finance and credit markets. Our inability to generate sufficient free cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or on a timely basis, would materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We operate in highly competitive markets.
The business of acquiring infrastructure assets is highly competitive. Market competition for opportunities includes traditional infrastructure companies, commercial and investment banks, as well as a growing number of non-traditional participants, such as hedge funds, private equity funds and other private investors, including Fortress-related entities. Some of these competitors may have access to greater amounts of capital and/or to capital that may be committed for longer periods of time or may have different return thresholds than us, and thus these competitors may have certain advantages not shared by us. In addition, competitors may have incurred, or may in the future incur, leverage to finance their debt investments at levels or on terms more favorable than those available to us. Strong competition for investment opportunities could result in fewer such opportunities for us, as certain of these competitors have established and are establishing investment vehicles that target the same types of assets that we intend to purchase.
In addition, some of our competitors may have longer operating histories, greater financial resources and lower costs of capital than us, and consequently, may be able to compete more effectively in one or more of our target
25

TABLE OF CONTENTS

markets. We likely will not always be able to compete successfully with our competitors and competitive pressures or other factors may also result in significant price competition, particularly during industry downturns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The values of our assets may fluctuate due to various factors.
The fair market values of our assets may decrease or increase depending on a number of factors, including general economic and market conditions affecting our target markets, type and age of assets, supply and demand for assets, competition, new governmental or other regulations and technological advances, all of which could impact our profitability and our ability to develop, operate, or sell such assets. In addition, our assets depreciate as they age and may generate lower revenues and cash flows. We must be able to replace such older, depreciated assets with newer assets, or our ability to maintain or increase our revenues and cash flows will decline. In addition, if we dispose of an asset for a price that is less than the depreciated book value of the asset on our balance sheet or if we determine that an asset’s value has been impaired, we will recognize a related charge in our combined consolidated statement of operations and such charge could be material.
We may acquire operating businesses, including businesses whose operations are not fully matured and stabilized. These businesses may be subject to significant operating and development risks, including increased competition, cost overruns and delays, and difficulties in obtaining approvals or financing. These factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
We will receive in the spin-off, and may in the future acquire, operating businesses, including businesses whose operations are not fully matured and stabilized (including, but not limited to, our businesses within the Jefferson Terminal, Ports and Terminals and Transtar segments). While our Manager has deep experience in the construction and operation of these companies, we are nevertheless subject to significant risks and contingencies of an operating business, and these risks are greater where the operations of such businesses are not fully matured and stabilized. Key factors that may affect our operating businesses include, but are not limited to:
competition from market participants;
general economic and/or industry trends, including pricing for the products or services offered by our operating businesses;
the issuance and/or continued availability of necessary permits, licenses, approvals and agreements from governmental agencies and third parties as are required to construct and operate such businesses;
changes or deficiencies in the design or construction of development projects;
unforeseen engineering, environmental or geological problems;
potential increases in construction and operating costs due to changes in the cost and availability of fuel, power, materials and supplies;
the availability and cost of skilled labor and equipment;
our ability to enter into additional satisfactory agreements with contractors and to maintain good relationships with these contractors in order to construct development projects within our expected cost parameters and time frame, and the ability of those contractors to perform their obligations under the contracts and to maintain their creditworthiness;
potential liability for injury or casualty losses which are not covered by insurance;
potential opposition from non-governmental organizations, environmental groups, local or other groups which may delay or prevent development activities;
local and economic conditions;
recent geopolitical events;
changes in legal requirements; and
force majeure events, including catastrophes and adverse weather conditions.
Any of these factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our use of joint ventures or partnerships, and our Manager’s outsourcing of certain functions, may present unforeseen obstacles or costs.
We will receive in the spin-off, and may in the future acquire, interests in certain assets in cooperation with third-party partners or co-investors through jointly owned acquisition vehicles, joint ventures or other structures. In these co-investment situations, our ability to control the management of such assets depends upon the nature and terms of the joint arrangements with such partners and our relative ownership stake in the asset, each of which will be determined by negotiation at the time of the investment and the determination of which is subject to the discretion of our Manager. Depending on our Manager’s perception of the relative risks and rewards of a particular asset, our Manager may elect to acquire interests in structures that afford relatively little or no operational and/or management control to us. Such arrangements present risks not present with wholly owned assets, such as the possibility that a co-investor becomes bankrupt, develops business interests or goals that conflict with our interests and goals in respect of the assets, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, our Manager expects to utilize third-party contractors to perform services and functions related to the operation of our assets. These functions may include billing, collections, recovery and asset monitoring. Because we and our Manager do not directly control these third parties, there can be no assurance that the services they provide will be delivered at a level commensurate with our expectations, or at all. The failure of any such third-party contractors to perform in accordance with our expectations could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are subject to the risks and costs of obsolescence of our assets.
Technological and other improvements expose us to the risk that certain of our assets may become technologically or commercially obsolete. If we are not able to acquire new technology or are unable to implement new technology, we may suffer a competitive disadvantage. For example, as the freight transportation markets we serve continue to evolve and become more efficient, the use of certain locomotives or railcars may decline in favor of other more economic modes of transportation. If the technology we use in our lines of business is superseded, or the cost of replacing our locomotives or railcars is expensive and requires additional capital, we could experience significant cost increases and reduced availability of the assets and equipment that are necessary for our operations. Any of these risks may adversely affect our ability to sell our assets on favorable terms, if at all, which could materially adversely affect our operating results and growth prospects.
The North American rail sector is a highly regulated industry and increased costs of compliance with, or liability for violation of, existing or future laws, regulations and other requirements could significantly increase our operational costs of doing business, thereby adversely affecting our profitability.
The rail sector is subject to extensive laws, regulations and other requirements, including, but not limited to, those relating to the environment, safety, rates and charges, service obligations, employment, labor, immigration, minimum wages and overtime pay, health care and benefits, working conditions, public accessibility and other requirements. These laws and regulations are enforced by U.S. federal agencies including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “U.S. EPA”), the U.S. Department of Transportation (the “DOT”), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (the “OSHA”), the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (the “FRA”), and the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (the “STB”), as well as numerous other state, provincial, local and federal agencies. Ongoing compliance with, or a violation of, these laws, regulations and other requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that our rail operations are in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations, and the interpretation or enforcement thereof, are subject to frequent change and varying interpretation by regulatory authorities, and we are unable to predict the ongoing cost to us of complying with these laws and regulations or the future impact of these laws and regulations on our operations. In addition, from time to time we are subject to inspections and investigations by various regulators. Violation of environmental or other laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions and construction bans or delays.
Legislation passed by the U.S. Congress or Canadian Parliament or new regulations issued by federal agencies can significantly affect the revenues, costs and profitability of our business. For instance, more recently proposed bills such as the “Rail Shipper Fairness Act of 2017,” or competitive access proposals under consideration by the STB,
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if adopted, could increase government involvement in railroad pricing, service and operations and significantly change the federal regulatory framework of the railroad industry. Several of the changes under consideration could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s ability to determine prices for rail services, meet service standards and could force a reduction in capital spending. Statutes imposing price constraints or affecting rail-to-rail competition could adversely affect the Company’s profitability.
Under various U.S. federal, state, provincial and local environmental requirements, as the owner or operator of terminals or other facilities, we may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of contamination at or from our existing locations, whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of such contamination. The failure to timely report and properly remediate contamination may subject us to liability to third parties and may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent our property or to borrow money using our property as collateral. Additionally, we may be liable for the costs of remediating third-party sites where hazardous substances from our operations have been transported for treatment or disposal, regardless of whether we own or operate that site. In the future, we may incur substantial expenditures for investigation or remediation of contamination that has not yet been discovered at our current or former locations or locations that we may acquire.
A discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment associated with operating our rail assets could subject us to substantial expense, including the cost to recover the materials spilled, restore the affected natural resources, pay fines and penalties, and natural resource damages and claims made by employees, neighboring landowners, government authorities and other third parties, including for personal injury and property damage. We may experience future catastrophic sudden or gradual releases into the environment from our facilities or discover historical releases that were previously unidentified or not assessed. Although our inspection and testing programs are designed to prevent, detect and address any such releases promptly, the liabilities incurred due to any future releases into the environment from our assets, have the potential to substantially affect our business. Such events could also subject us to media and public scrutiny that could have a negative effect on our operations and also on the value of our common stock.
Our business could be adversely affected if service on the railroads is interrupted or if more stringent regulations are adopted regarding railcar design or the transportation of crude oil by rail.
As a result of hydraulic fracturing and other improvements in extraction technologies, there has been a substantial increase in the volume of crude oil and liquid hydrocarbons produced and transported in North America, and a geographic shift in that production versus historical production. The increase in volume and shift in geography has resulted in increased pipeline congestion and a corresponding growth in crude oil being transported by rail from Canada and across the U.S. High-profile accidents involving crude-oil-carrying trains in Quebec, North Dakota and Virginia, and more recently in Saskatchewan, West Virginia and Illinois, have raised concerns about derailments and the environmental and safety risks associated with crude oil transport by rail and the associated risks arising from railcar design. In Canada, the transport of hazardous products is receiving greater scrutiny which could impact our customers and our business.
In May 2015, the DOT issued new production standards and operational controls for rail tank cars used in “High-Hazard Flammable Trains” (i.e., trains carrying commodities such as ethanol, crude oil and other flammable liquids). Similar standards have been adopted in Canada. The new standard applies for all cars manufactured after October 1, 2015, and existing tank cars must be retrofitted within the next three to eight years. The applicable operational controls include reduced speed restrictions, and maximum lengths on trains carrying these materials. Retrofitting our tank cars will be required under these new standards to the extent we elect to move certain flammable liquids in the future. While we may be able to pass some of these costs on to our customers, there may be costs that we cannot pass on to them. We continue to monitor the railcar regulatory landscape and remain in close contact with railcar suppliers and other industry stakeholders to stay informed of railcar regulation rulemaking developments. It is unclear how these regulations will impact the crude-by-rail industry, and any such impact would depend on a number of factors that are outside of our control. If, for example, overall volume of crude-by-rail decreases, or if we do not have access to a sufficient number of compliant cars to transport required volumes under our existing contracts, our operations may be negatively affected. This may lead to a decrease in revenues and other consequences.
The adoption of additional federal, state, provincial or local laws or regulations, including any voluntary measures by the rail industry regarding railcar design or crude oil and liquid hydrocarbon rail transport activities, or efforts by local communities to restrict or limit rail traffic involving crude oil, could affect our business by increasing compliance costs and decreasing demand for our services, which could adversely affect our financial position and cash flows. Moreover, any disruptions in the operations of railroads, including those due to shortages of railcars,
28

TABLE OF CONTENTS

weather-related problems, flooding, drought, accidents, mechanical difficulties, strikes, lockouts or bottlenecks, could adversely impact our customers’ ability to move their product and, as a result, could affect our business.
We could be negatively impacted by environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and sustainability-related matters.
Governments, investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders are increasingly focusing on corporate ESG practices and disclosures, and expectations in this area are rapidly evolving. We have announced, and may in the future announce, sustainability-focused investments, partnerships and other initiatives and goals. These initiatives, aspirations, targets or objectives reflect our current plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them. Our efforts to accomplish and accurately report on these initiatives and goals present numerous operational, regulatory, reputational, financial, legal, and other risks, any of which could have a material negative impact, including on our reputation and stock price.
In addition, the standards for tracking and reporting on ESG matters are relatively new, have not been harmonized and continue to evolve. Our selection of disclosure frameworks that seek to align with various voluntary reporting standards may change from time to time and may result in a lack of comparative data from period to period. Moreover, our processes and controls may not always align with evolving voluntary standards for identifying, measuring, and reporting ESG metrics, our interpretation of reporting standards may differ from those of others, and such standards may change over time, any of which could result in significant revisions to our goals or reported progress in achieving such goals. In this regard, the criteria by which our ESG practices and disclosures are assessed may change due to the quickly evolving landscape, which could result in greater expectations of us and cause us to undertake costly initiatives to satisfy such new criteria. The increasing attention to corporate ESG initiatives could also result in increased investigations and litigation or threats thereof. If we are unable to satisfy such new criteria, investors may conclude that our ESG and sustainability practices are inadequate. If we fail or are perceived to have failed to achieve previously announced initiatives or goals or to accurately disclose our progress on such initiatives or goals, our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
We transport hazardous materials.
We transport certain hazardous materials and other materials, including crude oil, ethanol, and toxic inhalation hazard (TIH) materials, such as chlorine, that pose certain risks in the event of a release or combustion. Additionally, U.S. laws impose common carrier obligations on railroads that require us to transport certain hazardous materials regardless of risk or potential exposure to loss. In addition, insurance premiums charged for, or the self-insured retention associated with, some or all of the coverage currently maintained by us could increase dramatically or certain coverage may not be available to us in the future if there is a catastrophic event related to rail transportation of these materials. A rail accident or other incident or accident on our network, at our facilities, or at the facilities of our customers involving the release or combustion of hazardous materials could involve significant costs and claims for personal injury, property damage, and environmental penalties and remediation in excess of our insurance coverage for these risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
We may be affected by fluctuating prices for fuel and energy.
Volatility in energy prices could have a significant effect on a variety of items including, but not limited to: the economy; demand for transportation services; business related to the energy sector, including the production and processing of crude oil, natural gas, and coal; fuel prices; and, fuel surcharges. Particularly in our rail business, fuel costs constitute a significant portion of our expenses. Diesel fuel prices and availability can be subject to dramatic fluctuations, and significant price increases could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. If a severe fuel supply shortage arose from production curtailments, disruption of oil imports or domestic oil production, disruption of domestic refinery production, damage to refinery or pipeline infrastructure, political unrest, war, terrorist attack or otherwise, diesel fuel may not be readily available and may be subject to rationing regulations. Currently, we receive fuel surcharges and other rate adjustments to offset fuel prices, although there may be a significant delay in our recovery of fuel costs based on the terms of the fuel surcharge program. If Class I railroads change their policies regarding fuel surcharges, the compensation we receive for increases in fuel costs may decrease, which could have a negative effect on our profitability; in fact, we cannot be certain that we will always be able to mitigate rising or elevated fuel costs through fuel surcharges at all, as future market conditions or legislative or regulatory activities could adversely affect our ability to apply fuel surcharges or adequately recover increased fuel costs through fuel surcharges.
29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

International, political, and economic factors, events and conditions, including recent geopolitical events, may affect the volatility of fuel prices and supplies. Weather can also affect fuel supplies and limit domestic refining capacity. A severe shortage of, or disruption to, domestic fuel supplies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. In addition, lower fuel prices could have a negative impact on commodities we process and transport, such as crude oil and petroleum products, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
Because we depend on Class I railroads for a significant portion of our operations in North America, our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely affected if our relationships with these carriers deteriorate.
The railroad industry in the United States and Canada is dominated by seven Class I carriers that have substantial market control and negotiating leverage. In addition, Class I carriers also traditionally have been significant sources of business for us, and may be future sources of potential acquisition candidates as they divest branch lines. A decision by any of these Class I carriers to cease or re-route certain freight movements or to alter existing business relationships, including operational or relationship changes, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. The overall impact of any such decision would depend on which Class I carrier is involved, the routes and freight movements affected, as well as the nature of any changes.
Transtar faces competition from other railroads and other transportation providers.
Transtar faces competition from other railroads, motor carriers, ships, barges, and pipelines. We operate in some corridors served by other railroads and motor carriers. In addition to price competition, we face competition with respect to transit times, quality, and reliability of service from motor carriers and other railroads. Motor carriers in particular can have an advantage over railroads with respect to transit times and timeliness of service. However, railroads are much more fuel-efficient than trucks, which reduces the impact of transporting goods on the environment and public infrastructure. Additionally, we must build or acquire and maintain our rail system, while trucks, barges, and maritime operators are able to use public rights-of-way maintained by public entities. Any of the following could also affect the competitiveness of our rail services, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity: (i) improvements or expenditures materially increasing the quality or reducing the costs of these alternative modes of transportation, such as autonomous or more fuel efficient trucks, (ii) legislation that eliminates or significantly increases the size or weight limitations applied to motor carriers, or (iii) legislation or regulatory changes that impose operating restrictions on railroads or that adversely affect the profitability of some or all railroad traffic. Additionally, any future consolidation of the rail industry could materially affect our competitive environment.
Our assets are exposed to unplanned interruptions caused by events outside of our control which may disrupt our business and cause damage or losses that may not be adequately covered by insurance.
The operations of infrastructure projects are exposed to unplanned interruptions caused by breakdown or failure of equipment or plants, aging infrastructure, employee error or contractor or subcontractor failure, problems that delay or increase the cost of returning facilities to service after outages, limitations that may be imposed by equipment conditions or environmental, safety or other regulatory requirements, fuel supply or fuel transportation reductions or interruptions, labor disputes, difficulties with the implementation or operation of information systems, derailments, power outages, pipeline or electricity line ruptures and catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides, floods, explosions, fires or other disasters. Any equipment or system outage or constraint can, among other things, reduce sales, increase costs and affect the ability to meet regulatory service metrics, customer expectations and regulatory reliability and security requirements. We have in the past experienced power outages at plants which disrupted their operations and negatively impacted our revenues. We cannot assure you that similar events may not occur in the future. Operational disruption, as well as supply disruption, and increased government oversight could adversely impact the cash flows available from these assets. In addition, the cost of repairing or replacing damaged assets could be considerable. Repeated or prolonged interruption may result in temporary or permanent loss of customers, substantial litigation or penalties for regulatory or contractual non-compliance, and any loss from such events may not be recoverable under relevant insurance policies. Although we believe that we are adequately insured against these types of events no assurance can be given that the occurrence of any such event will not materially adversely affect us.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are actively evaluating potential acquisitions of assets and operating companies in other infrastructure sectors which could result in additional risks and uncertainties for our business and unexpected regulatory compliance costs.
While our existing portfolio consists of assets in the energy, port and rail sectors, we are actively evaluating potential acquisitions of assets and operating companies in other infrastructure sectors and we plan to be flexible as other attractive opportunities arise over time. To the extent we make acquisitions in other sectors, we will face numerous risks and uncertainties, including risks associated with the required investment of capital and other resources and with combining or integrating operational and management systems and controls. Entry into certain lines of business may subject us to new laws and regulations and may lead to increased litigation and regulatory risk. Many types of infrastructure assets, including certain rail and seaport assets, are subject to registration requirements by U.S. governmental agencies, as well as foreign governments if such assets are to be used outside of the United States. Failing to register the assets, or losing such registration, could result in substantial penalties, forced liquidation of the assets and/or the inability to operate and, if applicable, lease the assets. We may need to incur significant costs to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to any such new acquisition. The failure to comply with these laws and regulations could cause us to incur significant costs, fines or penalties or require the assets to be removed from service for a period of time resulting in reduced income from these assets. In addition, if our acquisitions in other sectors produce insufficient revenues, or produce investment losses, or if we are unable to efficiently manage our expanded operations, our results of operations will be adversely affected, and our reputation and business may be harmed.
The agreements governing our indebtedness place restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, reducing operational flexibility and creating default risks.
The agreements governing our indebtedness, including, but not limited to, the New Financing, are expected to contain covenants that place restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. We expect the agreement governing the New Financing to restrict, among other things, our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to:
merge, consolidate or transfer all, or substantially all, of our assets;
incur additional debt or issue preferred stock;
make certain investments or acquisitions;
create liens on our or our subsidiaries’ assets;
sell assets;
make distributions on or repurchase our shares;
enter into transactions with affiliates; and
create dividend restrictions and other payment restrictions that affect our subsidiaries.
These covenants could impair our ability to grow our business, take advantage of attractive business opportunities, pay dividends or successfully compete. A breach of any of these covenants could result in an event of default. Cross-default provisions in any debt agreements that we may incur could cause an event of default under one debt agreement to trigger an event of default under our other debt agreements. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our debt agreements, the lenders or holders thereof could elect to declare all outstanding debt under such agreements to be immediately due and payable.
Terrorist attacks could negatively impact our operations and our profitability and may expose us to liability and reputational damage.
Terrorist attacks may negatively affect our operations. Such attacks have contributed to economic instability in the United States and elsewhere, and further acts of terrorism, violence or war, including recent geopolitical events, could similarly affect world trade and the industries in which we and our customers operate. In addition, terrorist attacks or hostilities may directly impact locations where our trains and containers travel or our physical facilities or those of our customers. In addition, it is also possible that our assets could be involved in a terrorist attack. The consequences of any terrorist attacks or hostilities are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our inability to obtain sufficient capital would constrain our ability to grow our portfolio and to increase our revenues.
Our business is capital intensive, and we have used and may continue to employ leverage to finance our operations. Accordingly, our ability to successfully execute our business strategy and maintain our operations depends on the availability and cost of debt and equity capital. Additionally, our ability to borrow against our assets is dependent, in part, on the appraised value of such assets. If the appraised value of such assets declines, we may be required to reduce the principal outstanding under our debt facilities or otherwise be unable to incur new borrowings.
We can give no assurance that the capital we need will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. Our inability to obtain sufficient capital, or to renew or expand our credit facilities, could result in increased funding costs and would limit our ability to:
meet the terms and maturities of our existing and future debt facilities;
purchase new assets or refinance existing assets;
fund our working capital needs and maintain adequate liquidity; and
finance other growth initiatives.
In addition, we conduct our operations so that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). As such, certain forms of financing such as finance leases may not be available to us. Please see “—If we are deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.”
The effects of various environmental regulations may negatively affect the industries in which we operate which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the discharge of pollutants to air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites and noise and emission levels and greenhouse gas emissions. Under some environmental laws in the United States, strict liability may be imposed on the owners or operators of assets, which could render us liable for environmental and natural resource damages without regard to negligence or fault on our part. In addition, changes to environmental standards or regulations in the industries in which we operate could limit the economic life of the assets we acquire or reduce their value, and also require us to make significant additional investments in order to maintain compliance, which would negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, a variety of new legislation is being enacted, or considered for enactment, at the federal, state and local levels relating to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. While there has historically been a lack of consistent climate change legislation, as climate change concerns continue to grow, further legislation and regulations are expected to continue in areas such as greenhouse gas emissions control, emission disclosure requirements and building codes or other infrastructure requirements that impose energy efficiency standards. Government mandates, standards or regulations intended to mitigate or reduce greenhouse gas emissions or projected climate change impacts could result in prohibitions or severe restrictions on infrastructure development in certain areas, increased energy and transportation costs, and increased compliance expenses and other financial obligations to meet permitting or development requirements that we may be unable to fully recover (due to market conditions or other factors), any of which could result in reduced profits and adversely affect our results of operations. While we typically maintain liability insurance coverage, the insurance coverage is subject to large deductibles, limits on maximum coverage and significant exclusions and may not be sufficient or available to protect against any or all liabilities and such indemnities may not cover or be sufficient to protect us against losses arising from environmental damage. In addition, changes to environmental standards or regulations in the industries in which we operate could limit the economic life of the assets we acquire or reduce their value, and also require us to make significant additional investments in order to maintain compliance, which would negatively impact our cash flows and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Repauno site and Long Ridge property are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.
Our Repauno site is subject to ongoing environmental investigation and remediation by the former owner that sold Repauno to FTAI (the “Repauno Seller”) related to historic industrial operations. The Repauno Seller is responsible for completion of this work, and we benefit from a related indemnity and insurance policy. If the Repauno Seller fails to fulfill its investigation and remediation, or indemnity obligations and the related insurance, which are subject to limits and conditions, fail to cover our costs, we could incur losses. Redevelopment of the property in those areas undergoing investigation and remediation must await state environmental agency confirmation that no further investigation or remediation is required before redevelopment activities can occur in such areas of the property. Therefore, any delay in the Repauno Seller’s completion of the environmental work or receipt of related approvals in an area of the property could delay our redevelopment activities. In addition, once received, permits and approvals may be subject to litigation, and projects may be delayed or approvals reversed or modified in litigation. If there is a delay in obtaining any required regulatory approval, it could delay projects and cause us to incur costs.
In connection with FTAI’s acquisition of Long Ridge, the former owner that sold FTAI the property (the “Long Ridge Seller”) is obligated to perform certain post-closing demolition activities, remove specified containers, equipment and structures and conduct investigation, removal, cleanup and decontamination related thereto. The Long Ridge Seller is responsible for ongoing environmental remediation related to historic industrial operations on and off Long Ridge. In addition, Long Ridge is located adjacent to the former Ormet Corporation Superfund site (the “Ormet site”), which is owned and operated by the Long Ridge Seller. Pursuant to an order with the U.S. EPA, the Long Ridge Seller is obligated to pump groundwater that has been impacted by the adjacent Ormet site beneath our site and discharge it to the Ohio River and monitor the groundwater annually. Long Ridge is also subject to an environmental covenant related to the adjacent Ormet site that, inter alia, restricts the use of groundwater beneath our site and requires U.S. EPA consent for activities on Long Ridge that could disrupt the groundwater monitoring or pumping. The Long Ridge Seller is contractually obligated to complete its regulatory obligations on Long Ridge and we benefit from a related indemnity and insurance policy. If the Long Ridge Seller fails to fulfill its demolition, removal, investigation, remediation, monitoring, or indemnity obligations, and if the related insurance, which is subject to limits and conditions, fails to cover our costs, we could incur losses. Redevelopment of the property in those areas undergoing investigation and remediation pursuant to the Ohio EPA order must await state environmental agency confirmation that no further investigation or remediation is required before redevelopment activities can occur in such area of the property. Therefore, any delay in the Long Ridge Seller’s completion of the environmental work or receipt of related approvals or consents from Ohio EPA or U.S. EPA could delay our redevelopment activities.
In addition, a portion of Long Ridge was recently redeveloped as a combined cycle gas-fired electric generating facility, and other portions will likely be redeveloped in the future. Although we have not identified material impacts to soils or groundwater that reasonably would be expected to prevent or delay further redevelopment projects, impacted materials could be encountered that require special handling and/or result in delays to those projects. Any additional projects may require environmental permits and approvals from federal, state and local environmental agencies. Once received, permits and approvals may be subject to litigation, and projects may be delayed or approvals reversed or modified in litigation. If there is a delay in obtaining any required regulatory approval, it could delay projects and cause us to incur costs.
Moreover, new, stricter environmental laws, regulations or enforcement policies, including those imposed in response to climate change, could be implemented that significantly increase our compliance costs, or require us to adopt more costly methods of operation. If we are not able to transform Repauno or Long Ridge into hubs for industrial and energy development in a timely manner, their future prospects could be materially and adversely affected, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
A cyberattack that bypasses our information technology (“IT”) security systems or the IT security systems of our third-party providers, causing an IT security breach, may lead to a disruption of our IT systems and the loss of business information which may hinder our ability to conduct our business effectively and may result in lost revenues and additional costs.
Parts of our business depend on the secure operation of our IT systems and the IT systems of our third-party providers to manage, process, store, and transmit information. We have, from time to time, experienced threats to our data and systems, including malware and computer virus attacks. A cyberattack that bypasses our IT security systems or the IT security systems of our third-party providers, causing an IT security breach, could adversely impact our daily operations and lead to the loss of sensitive information, including our own proprietary information and that of
33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our customers, suppliers and employees. Such losses could harm our reputation and result in competitive disadvantages, litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, lost revenues, additional costs and liabilities. While we devote substantial resources to maintaining adequate levels of cyber-security, our resources and technical sophistication may not be adequate to prevent all types of cyberattacks.
If we are deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We conduct our operations so that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company for certain privately offered investment vehicles set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.
The Investment Company Act may limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to enter into financing leases and engage in other types of financial activity because less than 40% of the value of our and our subsidiaries’ total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis can consist of “investment securities.”
If we or any of our subsidiaries were required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, the registered entity would become subject to substantial regulation that would significantly change our operations, and we would not be able to conduct our business as described in this Information Statement. We have not obtained a formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, any violation of the Investment Company Act would subject us to material adverse consequences.
We have material customer concentration with respect to the Jefferson Terminal and Transtar businesses, with a limited number of customers accounting for a material portion of our revenues.
We earned approximately 12%, 21%, 15%, 40% and 48% of our revenue from one customer in the Jefferson Terminal segment during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited) and years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 70% and 45% from one customer in the Transtar segment during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively (based on FTAI's period of ownership of Transtar). As of March 31, 2022 (unaudited), accounts receivable from two customers from the Jefferson Terminal and Transtar segments represented 47% of total accounts receivable, net. As of December 31, 2021, accounts receivable from two customers from the Jefferson Terminal and Transtar segments represented 48% of total accounts receivable,net. As of December 31, 2020, accounts receivable from two customers in the Jefferson Terminal segment represented 63% of total accounts receivable, net.
There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by these customers or the future demand for the products and services of these customers in the end-user marketplace. In addition, revenues from these customers may fluctuate from time to time based on the commencement and completion of projects, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other factors, some of which may be outside of our control. If any of these customers experience declining or delayed sales due to market, economic or competitive conditions, we could be pressured to reduce the prices we charge for our services or we could lose a major customer. Any such development could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position, and would negatively affect our revenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our common stock.
FTAI’s recent acquisition of Transtar may not achieve its intended results and we may be unable to successfully integrate the operations of Transtar.
On July 28, 2021, FTAI completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Transtar (the “Transtar Acquisition”), a wholly owned short-line railroad subsidiary of United States Steel

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Corporation (the “Seller”). Transtar is comprised of five short-line freight railroads and one switching company, including two that connect to Seller’s largest production facilities in North America: the Gary Railway Company, Indiana; The Lake Terminal Railroad Company, Ohio; Union Railroad Company LLC, Pennsylvania; Fairfield Southern Company Inc., Alabama (switching company); Delray Connecting Railroad Company, Michigan; and the Texas & Northern Railroad Company, Texas. Transtar will be our asset following the completion of the spin-off transaction.
As a result, we are subject to certain risks relating to the Transtar Acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, some of which may be exacerbated by the spin-off transaction. Such risks may include, but are not limited to:
failure to successfully integrate Transtar in a manner that permits us to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition;
difficulties and delays integrating Transtar’s personnel, operations and systems and retaining key employees, including as a result of the spin-off transaction;
higher than anticipated costs incurred in connection with the integration of the business and operations of Transtar, including as a result of the spin-off transaction;
challenges in operating and managing rail lines across geographically disparate regions;
disruptions to our ongoing business and diversions of our management’s attention caused by transition or integration activities involving Transtar, including as a result of the spin-off transaction;
challenges with implementing adequate and appropriate controls, procedures and policies in Transtar’s business, including as a result of the spin-off transaction;
Transtar’s dependence on the Seller as its primary customer;
difficulties expanding our customer base;
difficulties arising from Transtar’s dependence on the Seller to provide a variety of necessary transition services to Transtar and any failure by the Seller to adequately provide such services;
assumption of pre-existing contractual relationships of Transtar that we may not have otherwise entered into, the termination or modification of which may be costly or disruptive to our business; and
any potential litigation arising from the transaction.
The successful integration of a new business also depends on our ability to manage the new business, realize forecasted synergies and full value from the combined business. Our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected if we are unable to successfully integrate Transtar.

We are dependent on our Manager and other key personnel at Fortress and may not find suitable replacements if our Manager terminates the Management Agreement or if other key personnel depart.
Our officers and other individuals who perform services for us (other than Jefferson Terminal, Repauno, Long Ridge, Transtar, Aleon and Gladieux, KRS, Clean Planet USA, FYX, CarbonFree and Containers employees) are employees of our Manager or other Fortress entities. We are completely reliant on our Manager, which has significant discretion as to the implementation of our operating policies and strategies, to conduct our business. We are subject to the risk that our Manager will terminate the Management Agreement and that we will not be able to find a suitable replacement for our Manager in a timely manner, at a reasonable cost, or at all. Furthermore, we are dependent on the services of certain key employees of our Manager and certain key employees of Fortress entities whose compensation is partially or entirely dependent upon the amount of management fees earned by our Manager and whose continued service is not guaranteed, and the loss of such personnel or services could materially adversely affect our operations. We do not have key man insurance for any of the personnel of the Manager or other Fortress entities that are key to us. An inability to find a suitable replacement for any departing employee of our Manager or Fortress entities on a timely basis could materially adversely affect our ability to operate and grow our business.
In addition, our Manager may assign our Management Agreement to an entity whose business and operations are managed or supervised by Mr. Wesley R. Edens, who is a principal, Co-Chief Executive Officer and a member
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the board of directors of Fortress, an affiliate of our Manager, and a member of the management committee of Fortress since co-founding Fortress in May 1998. In the event of any such assignment to a non-affiliate of Fortress, the functions currently performed by our Manager’s current personnel may be performed by others. We can give you no assurance that such personnel would manage our operations in the same manner as our Manager currently does, and the failure by the personnel of any such entity to acquire assets generating attractive risk-adjusted returns could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
On December 27, 2017, SoftBank completed its acquisition of Fortress (the “SoftBank Merger”). In connection with the SoftBank Merger, Fortress operates within SoftBank as an independent business headquartered in New York.
There are conflicts of interest in our relationship with our Manager.
Our Management Agreement was not negotiated at arm’s-length, and its terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
There are conflicts of interest inherent in our relationship with our Manager insofar as our Manager and its affiliates—including investment funds, private investment funds, or businesses managed by our Manager, including Seacastle Inc. and Florida East Coast Industries, LLC (“FECI”)—invest in transportation and transportation-related infrastructure assets and whose investment objectives overlap with our asset acquisition objectives. Certain opportunities appropriate for us may also be appropriate for one or more of these other investment vehicles. Certain members of our board of directors and employees of our Manager who are our officers also serve as officers and/or directors of these other entities. For example, we have some of the same directors and officers as Seacastle Inc. Although we have the same Manager, we may compete with entities affiliated with our Manager or Fortress, including Seacastle Inc. and FECI, for certain target assets. From time to time, entities affiliated with or managed by our Manager or Fortress may focus on investments in assets with a similar profile as our target assets that we may seek to acquire. These affiliates may have meaningful purchasing capacity, which may change over time depending upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, available equity capital and debt financing, market conditions and cash on hand. Fortress has multiple existing and planned funds focused on investing in one or more of our target sectors, each with significant current or expected capital commitments. We will receive in the spin-off assets previously purchased by FTAI, and we may in the future purchase assets, from these funds, and FTAI has previously co-invested and we may in the future co-invest with these funds in infrastructure assets. Fortress funds generally have a fee structure similar to ours, but the fees actually paid will vary depending on the size, terms and performance of each fund.
Our Management Agreement generally does not limit or restrict our Manager or its affiliates from engaging in any business or managing other pooled investment vehicles that invest in assets that meet our asset acquisition objectives. Our Manager intends to engage in additional infrastructure related management and other investment opportunities in the future, which may compete with us for investments or result in a change in our current investment strategy. In addition, our certificate of incorporation will provide that if any of the Fortress Parties or any of their officers, directors or employees acquire knowledge of a potential transaction that could be a corporate opportunity, they have no duty, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to offer such corporate opportunity to us, our stockholders or our affiliates. In the event that any of our directors and officers who is also a director, officer or employee of any of the Fortress Parties or their affiliates acquires knowledge of a corporate opportunity or is offered a corporate opportunity, provided that this knowledge was not acquired solely in such person’s capacity as a director or officer of us and such person acts in good faith, then to the fullest extent permitted by law such person is deemed to have fully satisfied such person’s fiduciary duties owed to us and is not liable to us if any of the Fortress Parties, or their respective affiliates, pursues or acquires the corporate opportunity or if such person did not present the corporate opportunity to us.
The ability of our Manager and its officers and employees to engage in other business activities, subject to the terms of our Management Agreement, may reduce the amount of time our Manager, its officers or other employees spend managing us. In addition, we may engage (subject to our strategy) in material transactions with our Manager or another entity managed by our Manager or one of its affiliates, including FTAI, Seacastle Inc. and FECI, which may include, but are not limited to, certain acquisitions, financing arrangements, purchases of debt, co-investments, consumer loans, servicing advances and other assets that present an actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest. Our board of directors will adopt a policy regarding the approval of any “related party transactions” pursuant to which certain of the material transactions described above may require disclosure to, and approval by, the independent members of our board of directors. Actual, potential or perceived conflicts have given, and may in the
36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

future give, rise to investor dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory inquiries or enforcement actions. Appropriately dealing with conflicts of interest is complex and difficult, and our reputation could be damaged if we fail, or appear to fail, to deal appropriately with one or more potential, actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Regulatory scrutiny of, or litigation in connection with, conflicts of interest could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, which could materially adversely affect our business in a number of ways, including causing an inability to raise additional funds, a reluctance of counterparties to do business with us, a decrease in the prices of our equity securities and a resulting increased risk of litigation and regulatory enforcement actions.
The structure of our Manager’s compensation arrangements may have unintended consequences for us. We have agreed to pay our Manager a management fee that is based on different measures of performance. Consequently, there may be conflicts in the incentives of our Manager to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for us. Investments with higher yield potential are generally riskier or more speculative than investments with lower yield potential. This could result in increased risk to the value of our portfolio of assets and our common stock.
Our directors have approved a broad asset acquisition strategy for our Manager and will not approve each acquisition we make at the direction of our Manager. In addition, we may change our strategy without a shareholder vote, which may result in our acquiring assets that are different, riskier or less profitable than our current assets.
Our Manager is authorized to follow a broad asset acquisition strategy. We may pursue other types of acquisitions as market conditions evolve. Our Manager makes decisions about our investments in accordance with broad investment guidelines adopted by our board of directors. Accordingly, we may, without a shareholder vote, change our target sectors and acquire a variety of assets that differ from, and are possibly riskier than, our current asset portfolio. Consequently, our Manager has great latitude in determining the types and categories of assets it may decide are proper investments for us, including the latitude to invest in types and categories of assets that may differ from those in our existing portfolio. Our directors will periodically review our strategy and our portfolio of assets. However, our board will not review or pre-approve each proposed acquisition or our related financing arrangements. In addition, in conducting periodic reviews, the directors will rely primarily on information provided to them by our Manager. Furthermore, transactions entered into by our Manager may be difficult or impossible to reverse by the time they are reviewed by the directors even if the transactions contravene the terms of the Management Agreement. In addition, we may change our asset acquisition strategy, including our target asset classes, without a shareholder vote.
Our asset acquisition strategy may evolve in light of existing market conditions and investment opportunities, and this evolution may involve additional risks depending upon the nature of the assets we target and our ability to finance such assets on a short or long-term basis. Opportunities that present unattractive risk-return profiles relative to other available opportunities under particular market conditions may become relatively attractive under changed market conditions and changes in market conditions may therefore result in changes in the assets we target. Decisions to make acquisitions in new asset categories present risks that may be difficult for us to adequately assess and could therefore reduce or eliminate our ability to pay dividends on our common stock or have adverse effects on our liquidity or financial condition. A change in our asset acquisition strategy may also increase our exposure to interest rate, foreign currency or credit market fluctuations. In addition, a change in our asset acquisition strategy may increase our use of non-match-funded financing, increase the guarantee obligations we agree to incur or increase the number of transactions we enter into with affiliates. Our failure to accurately assess the risks inherent in new asset categories or the financing risks associated with such assets could adversely affect our results of operations and our financial condition.
Our Manager will not be liable to us for any acts or omissions performed in accordance with the Management Agreement, including with respect to the performance of our assets.
Pursuant to our Management Agreement, our Manager will not assume any responsibility other than to render the services called for thereunder in good faith and will not be responsible for any action of our board of directors in following or declining to follow its advice or recommendations. Our Manager, its members, managers, officers, employees, sub-advisers and any other person controlling or Manager, will not be liable to us or any of our subsidiaries, to our board of directors, or our or any subsidiary’s shareholders or partners for any acts or omissions by our Manager, its members, managers, officers, employees, sub-advisers and any other person controlling or Manager, except liability to us, our stockholders, directors, officers and employees and persons controlling us, by reason of acts constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of our Manager’s duties under our Management Agreement. We will, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold our
37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Manager, its members, managers, officers and employees, sub-advisers and each other person, if any, controlling our Manager harmless of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees) in respect of or arising from any acts or omissions of an indemnified party made in good faith in the performance of our Manager’s duties under our Management Agreement and not constituting such indemnified party’s bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of our Manager’s duties under our Management Agreement.
Our Manager’s due diligence of potential asset acquisitions or other transactions may not identify all pertinent risks, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Our Manager intends to conduct due diligence with respect to each asset acquisition opportunity or other transaction it pursues. It is possible, however, that our Manager’s due diligence processes will not uncover all relevant facts, particularly with respect to any assets we acquire from third parties. In these cases, our Manager may be given limited access to information about the asset and will rely on information provided by the seller of the asset. In addition, if asset acquisition opportunities are scarce, the process for selecting bidders is competitive, or the timeframe in which we are required to complete diligence is short, our ability to conduct a due diligence investigation may be limited, and we would be required to make decisions based upon a less thorough diligence process than would otherwise be the case. Accordingly, transactions that initially appear to be viable may prove not to be over time, due to the limitations of the due diligence process or other factors.
Risks Related to the Separation
We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from our separation from FTAI.
We may not be able to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits that we expect will result from our separation from FTAI or such benefits may be delayed or may not occur at all. For example, there can be no assurance that analysts and investors will regard our corporate structure as clearer and simpler than the current FTAI corporate structure or place a greater value on our company as a stand-alone corporation than on our businesses being a part of FTAI.
Our agreements with FTAI may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm’s-length negotiations among unaffiliated third parties.
The agreements related to our separation from FTAI, including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, were negotiated in the context of our separation from FTAI while we were still part of FTAI and, accordingly, may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm’s-length negotiations among unaffiliated third parties. The terms of the agreements we negotiated in the context of our separation related to, among other things, allocation of assets, liabilities, rights, indemnifications and other obligations among FTAI and us. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”
The ownership by some of our executive officers and directors of common shares, options, or other equity awards of FTAI may create, or may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest.
Because some of our directors, officers and other employees of our Manager also currently hold positions with FTAI, they own FTAI common shares, options to purchase FTAI common shares or other equity awards. Ownership by some of our directors and officers, after our separation, of common shares or options to purchase common shares of FTAI, or any other equity awards, creates, or, may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest when these directors and officers are faced with decisions that could have different implications for FTAI than they do for us.
We may compete with affiliates of and entities managed by our Manager, including FTAI, which could adversely affect our and their results of operations.
Affiliates of and entities managed by our Manager, including FTAI, are primarily engaged in the infrastructure and energy business and invest in, and actively manage, portfolios of infrastructure and energy investments and other assets. Affiliates of and entities managed by our Manager, including FTAI, are not restricted in any manner from competing with us. After the distribution, affiliates of and entities managed by our Manager, including FTAI, may decide to invest in the same types of assets that we invest in. Furthermore, after the distribution, we will have the same Manager and certain directors and officers will be the same as FTAI and certain of our Manager’s other affiliates. See “—Risks Related to Our Manager—There are conflicts of interest in our relationship with our Manager.”
38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We will share certain key directors and officers with FTAI, which means those officers will not devote their full time and attention to our affairs and the overlap may give rise to conflicts.
Following the distribution, there will be an overlap between certain key directors and officers of the Company and of FTAI subsidiaries. Mr. Nicholson will serve as both the chief executive officer of the Company and as a director of FTAI. As a result, following the distribution, not all of our executive officers will be devoting their full time and attention to the Company’s affairs. In addition, immediately following the distribution, Mr. Adams will be the chairman of the board of directors of both the Company and FTAI, and will continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of FTAI. Shared directors and officers may have actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to matters involving or affecting each company. For example, there will be the potential for a conflict of interest when we on the one hand, and FTAI and its respective subsidiaries and successors on the other hand, are party to commercial transactions concerning the same or adjacent investments. In addition, after the distribution, certain of our directors and officers will continue to own shares and/or options or other equity awards of FTAI. These ownership interests could create actual, apparent or potential conflicts of interest when these individuals are faced with decisions that could have different implications for our company and FTAI. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Our Manager and Management Agreement” for a discussion of certain procedures we will institute to help ameliorate such potential conflicts that may arise.
We expect to incur indebtedness in connection with the separation from FTAI, and the degree to which we will be leveraged could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In connection with the spin-off, FTAI Infrastructure will enter into the New Financing, the terms of which are subject to change and will be finalized prior to the closing of the spin-off. We have historically relied in part upon FTAI to provide credit support or fund our working capital requirements and other cash requirements. After the separation and distribution, we will not be able to rely on the earnings, assets or cash flow of FTAI, and FTAI will not provide credit support or funds to finance our working capital or other cash requirements. As a result, after the separation and distribution, we will be responsible for servicing our own debt and obtaining and maintaining sufficient working capital and other funds to satisfy our cash requirements. After the spin-off, our access to and cost of debt financing will be different from the historical access to and cost of debt financing under FTAI. Differences in access to and cost of debt financing may result in differences in the interest rates charged to us on financings, as well as the amount of indebtedness, types of financing structures and debt markets that may be available to us. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the New Financing, as well as any future debt that we may incur, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future from operations, financings and/or asset sales. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.
Our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to limitations.
As of December 31, 2021, the entities that will become included in our consolidated group for U.S. federal income tax purposes had approximately $520 million of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, and we may continue to incur NOL carryforwards in the future. A portion of our NOLs will begin to expire, if not utilized, in 2034. Net operating losses that expire unused will be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. In addition, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and in future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal net operating losses is limited. It is uncertain to what extent various states will conform to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In addition, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than fifty-percent (50%) change, by value, in its equity ownership over a three (3)-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income or taxes may be limited. We may experience ownership change in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership, some of which may be outside of our control and may not be prevented by the Ownership Restrictions (as defined below) in our certificate of incorporation. If an ownership change occurs and our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards is materially limited, it would harm our future operating results by effectively increasing our future federal tax obligations. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of net operating loss carryforwards is suspended or otherwise limited, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed by us.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile, which could result in rapid and substantial losses for our stockholders.
The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your stock at or above your purchase price, if at all. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our stock price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our stock include:
a shift in our investor base;
our quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other comparable companies;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant investments, acquisitions or dispositions;
the failure of securities analysts to cover our common stock;
changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;
the operating and share price performance of other comparable companies;
overall market fluctuations;
general economic conditions; and
developments in the markets and market sectors in which we participate.
Stock markets in the United States have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Market fluctuations, as well as general political and economic conditions, such as acts of terrorism, prolonged economic uncertainty, a recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
An increase in market interest rates may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
One of the factors that investors may consider in deciding whether to buy or sell our shares is our distribution rate as a percentage of our share price relative to market interest rates. If the market price of our common stock is based primarily on the earnings and return that we derive from our investments and income with respect to our investments and our related distributions to stockholders, and not from the market value of the investments themselves, then interest rate fluctuations and capital market conditions will likely affect the market price of our common stock. For instance, if market interest rates rise without an increase in our distribution rate, the market price of our common stock could decrease, as potential investors may require a higher distribution yield on our shares or seek other securities paying higher distributions or interest. In addition, rising interest rates would result in increased interest expense on our outstanding and future (variable and fixed) rate debt, thereby adversely affecting cash flows and our ability to service our indebtedness and pay distributions.
There can be no assurance that the market for our common stock will provide you with adequate liquidity.
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future, and the market price of our stock may fluctuate widely, depending upon many factors, some of which may be beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation:
a shift in our investor base;
our quarterly or annual earnings and cash flows, or those of other comparable companies;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant investments, acquisitions, dispositions or other transactions;
the failure of securities analysts to cover our stock;
40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;
market performance of affiliates and other counterparties with whom we conduct business;
the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;
our failure to maintain our exemption under the Investment Company Act or satisfy Nasdaq listing requirements;
negative public perception of us, our competitors or industry;
overall market fluctuations; and
general economic conditions.
Stock markets in general have experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Substantial sales of common stock may occur in connection with the distribution, which could cause our stock price to decline.
The shares of our common stock that FTAI intends to distribute to its shareholders generally may be sold immediately in the public market. Although we have no actual knowledge of any plan or intention on the part of any 5% or greater shareholder to sell our common stock following the distribution, it is possible that some FTAI shareholders, including possibly some of our large stockholders, will sell our common stock received in the distribution. In addition, FTAI shareholders may sell our stock because our business profile or market capitalization as an independent company does not fit their investment objectives or because our common stock is not included in certain indices after the distribution. The sales of significant amounts of our common stock or the perception in the market that this will occur may result in the lowering of the market price of our common stock.
We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our securities less attractive to investors.
We are and we will remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act until the earlier of (a) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the initial offering, (ii) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1 billion, or (iii) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (b) the date on which we have issued more than $1.07 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on some or all of these exemptions.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
As a public company, we are required to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Internal control over financial reporting is complex and may be revised over time to adapt to changes in our business, or changes in applicable accounting rules. We may make investments through joint ventures and accounting for such investments can increase the complexity of maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in the future or that a material weakness will not be discovered with respect to a prior period for which we had previously believed that our internal control over financial reporting was effective. If we are not able to maintain or document effective internal control over financial reporting, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue an adverse opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over
41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

financial reporting. Matters impacting our internal control over financial reporting may cause us to be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis, or may cause us to restate previously issued financial information, and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions or investigations by the SEC, or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements is also likely to suffer if we or our independent registered public accounting firm reports a material weakness in the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us by, for example, leading to a decline in our stock price and impairing our ability to raise capital.
Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted in the future.
Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted in the future because of equity awards that we expect will be granted to our Manager, to the directors, officers and employees of our Manager who perform services for us, and to our directors, officers and employees, as well as other equity instruments such as debt and equity financing including, but not limited to, the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants. In addition, following the distribution, we expect FTAI options held by our Manager, by the directors, officers and employees of our Manager, and by our directors, officers and employees will be equitably adjusted to become separate options relating to both FTAI common shares and our common stock, resulting in additional dilution to your ownership in FTAI Infrastructure. It is anticipated that options relating to our common stock will be distributed pursuant to such adjustment. For a description of the equitable adjustments expected to be made to FTAI options, see “Management—Equitable Adjustment of Options.” We will adopt the FTAI Infrastructure Nonqualified Stock Option and Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), which will provide for the grant of equity-based awards, including restricted stock, options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, tandem awards and other equity-based and non-equity based awards, in each case to our Manager, to the directors, officers, employees, service providers, consultants and advisor of our Manager who perform services for us, and to our directors, officers, employees, service providers, consultants and advisors. We will reserve 30,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the Plan. The term of the Plan expires in 2032. On the first day of each fiscal year beginning during the ten-year term of the Plan, that number will be increased by a number of shares of our common stock equal to 10% of the number of shares of our common stock newly issued by us during the immediately preceding fiscal year. For a more detailed description of the Plan, see “Management—FTAI Infrastructure Nonqualified Stock Option and Inventive Award Plan.” Upon the successful completion of an offering of our common by us, we will issue to our Manager options to purchase shares of our common stock, equal to 10% of the number of shares sold in the offering. Our board of directors may also determine to issue options to the Manager that are not subject to the Plan; provided that the number of shares underlying any options granted to the Manager in connection with capital raising efforts would not exceed 10% of the shares sold in such offering and would be subject to Nasdaq rules.
Our common stock will be subject to ownership and transfer restrictions intended to preserve our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.
We have incurred and may also continue to incur significant net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes, the amount and availability of which are subject to certain qualifications, limitations, and uncertainties. Our certificate of incorporation will impose certain restrictions on the transferability and ownership of our common stock, preferred stock, and other interests treated as our “stock” (such stock and other interests, the “Corporation Securities,” such restrictions on transferability and ownership, the “Ownership Restrictions”) in order to reduce the possibility of an equity ownership shift that could result in limitations on our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any acquisition of Corporation Securities that results in a shareholder being in violation of these restrictions may not be valid.
Subject to certain exceptions (including with respect to Initial Substantial Shareholders, as defined in our certificate of incorporation), the Ownership Restrictions will restrict (i) any person or entity (including certain groups of persons) from directly or indirectly acquiring 4.8% or more of the outstanding Corporation Securities and (ii) the ability of any person or entity (including certain groups of persons) already owning, directly or indirectly, 4.8% or more of the Corporation Securities to increase their proportionate interest in, or to sell, the Corporation Securities. Any transferee receiving Corporation Securities that would result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions will not be recognized as an FTAI Infrastructure shareholder or entitled to any rights of shareholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote and receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in each case, with respect to the Corporation Securities causing the violation. FTAI Infrastructure common stockholders whose
42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ownership violates the Ownership Restrictions at the time of the spin-off will not be required to sell their FTAI Infrastructure common stock, but may be prevented from acquiring more FTAI Infrastructure Corporation Securities.
The Ownership Restrictions will remain in effect until the earlier of (i) the date on which Section 382 of the Code is repealed, amended, or modified in such a way as to render the restrictions imposed by Section 382 of the Code no longer applicable to us or (ii) a determination by the Board of Directors that (1) an ownership change would not result in a substantial limitation on our ability to use our available net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes; (2) no significant value attributable to our available net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes would be preserved by continuing the transfer restrictions; or (3) it is not in our best interests to continue the Ownership Restrictions. The Ownership Restrictions may also be waived by the Board of Directors on a case by case basis. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will not experience a future ownership change under Section 382 that may significantly limit its ability to use its NOL carryforwards as a result of such a waiver or otherwise.
The Ownership Restrictions described above could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a large block of our common stock. This may adversely affect the marketability of our common stock by discouraging existing or potential investors from acquiring our stock or additional shares of our stock. It is also possible that the transfer restrictions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors and could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, or impede an attempt to acquire a significant or controlling interest in us, even if such events might be beneficial to us and our stockholders.
You are advised to carefully monitor your ownership of our common stock and consult your legal advisors to determine whether your ownership of our common stock violates the ownership restrictions that will be in our certificate of incorporation.
We may incur or issue debt or issue equity, which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
We may in the future incur or issue debt or issue equity or equity-related securities. In the event of our liquidation, lenders and holders of our debt and holders of our preferred stock (if any) would receive a distribution of our available assets before common stockholders. Any future incurrence or issuance of debt would increase our interest cost and could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. We are not required to offer any additional equity securities to existing common stockholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, additional issuances of common stock, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities, warrants or options including, but not limited to, the Warrants, will dilute the holdings of our existing common stockholders and such issuances, or the perception of such issuances, may reduce the market price of our common stock. Any preferred stock issued by us would likely have, a preference on distribution payments, periodically or upon liquidation, which could eliminate or otherwise limit our ability to make distributions to common stockholders. Because our decision to incur or issue debt or issue equity or equity-related securities in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or success of our future capital raising efforts. Thus, stockholders bear the risk that our future incurrence or issuance of debt or issuance of equity or equity-related securities will adversely affect the market price of our stock.
Changes to United States federal income tax laws could materially and adversely affect FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI Infrastructure’s stockholders.
The present United States federal income tax laws may be modified, possibly with retroactive effect, by legislative, judicial, or administrative action at any time, which could affect the United States federal income tax treatment of FTAI Infrastructure or an investment in FTAI Infrastructure common stock. The United States federal income tax rules are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and the United States Treasury Department, which results in statutory changes as well as frequent revisions to regulations and interpretations. We cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect FTAI Infrastructure and its stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, prevent or delay an acquisition of our company, which could decrease the market price of our common stock.
Delaware law contains, and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will contain, provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids by making such practices or bids unacceptably expensive to the raider and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors rather than to attempt a hostile takeover. These provisions include, among others:
a classified board of directors with staggered three-year terms;
provisions regarding the election of directors, classes of directors, the term of office of directors and the filling of director vacancies;
provisions regarding corporate opportunity;
removal of directors only for cause and only with the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors;
our board of directors to determine the powers, preferences and rights of our preferred stock and to issue such preferred stock without stockholder approval;
advance notice requirements applicable to stockholders for director nominations and actions to be taken at annual meetings;
a prohibition will be in our certificate of incorporation that states that directors will be elected by plurality vote, a provision which means that the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock can elect all the directors standing for election;
a requirement in our bylaws specifically denying the ability of our stockholders to consent in writing to take any action in lieu of taking such action at a duly called annual or special meeting of our stockholders; and
our Corporation Securities are subject to ownership and transfer restrictions in order to reduce the possibility of an equity ownership shift that could result in limitations on our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Public stockholders who might desire to participate in these types of transactions may not have an opportunity to do so, even if the transaction is considered favorable to stockholders. These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to benefit from a change in control or a change in our management and board of directors and, as a result, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and your ability to realize any potential change of control premium.
Our bylaws will contain exclusive forum provisions for certain claims, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our bylaws, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any of our current or former directors, officers or employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. As described below, this provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, or rules and regulations thereunder.
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our bylaws will provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Our decision to adopt such a federal forum provision followed a decision by the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware holding that such provisions are facially valid under Delaware law. While there can be no
44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

assurance that federal or state courts will follow the holding of the Delaware Supreme Court or determine that our federal forum provision should be enforced in a particular case, application of our federal forum provision means that suits brought by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act must be brought in federal court and cannot be brought in state court.
Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our bylaws will provide that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to our exclusive forum provisions, including the federal forum provision; provided, however, that stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Additionally, our stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. These provisions may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees and agents. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
While we currently intend to pay regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders, we may change our dividend policy at any time.
Although we currently intend to pay regular quarterly dividends to holders of our common stock, we may change our dividend policy at any time. Our net cash provided by operating activities could be less than the amount of distributions to our shareholders. The declaration and payment of dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors in accordance with applicable law after taking into account various factors, including actual results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, net cash provided by operating activities, restrictions imposed by applicable law, limitations under our contractual agreements, including the agreements governing the New Financing, our taxable income, our operating expenses and other factors our board of directors deem relevant. Our long-term goal is to maintain a payout ratio of between 50-60% of funds available for distribution, with remaining amounts used primarily to fund our future acquisitions and opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends in amounts or on a basis consistent with prior distributions to our investors, if at all. Because we are a holding company and have no direct operations, we will only be able to pay dividends from our available cash on hand and any funds we receive from our subsidiaries and our ability to receive distributions from our subsidiaries may be limited by the financing agreements to which they are subject.
As a public company, we will incur additional costs and face increased demands on our management.
As a newly independent public company with shares listed on Nasdaq, we will need to comply with an extensive body of regulations that did not apply to us previously, including certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, regulations of the SEC and requirements of Nasdaq. These rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, we must have independent directors and board committees.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our common stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If any of the analysts who may cover us downgrades our common stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our common stock price may decline. If analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our common stock price or trading volume to decline and our common stock to be less liquid.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our determination of how much leverage to use to finance our acquisitions may adversely affect our return on our assets and may reduce funds available for distribution.
We utilize leverage to finance many of our asset acquisitions, which entitles certain lenders to cash flows prior to retaining a return on our assets. While our Manager targets using only what we believe to be reasonable leverage, our strategy does not limit the amount of leverage we may incur with respect to any specific asset. The return we are able to earn on our assets and funds available for distribution to our stockholders may be significantly reduced due to changes in market conditions, which may cause the cost of our financing to increase relative to the income that can be derived from our assets.

OUR SPIN-OFF FROM FTAI
General
The FTAI board of directors, and a special committee thereof, has determined upon careful review and consideration that the spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure’s assets from the rest of FTAI and the establishment of FTAI Infrastructure as a separate, publicly-traded company is in FTAI’s best interests.
In furtherance of this plan, FTAI will distribute all of the shares of our common stock held by FTAI to holders of FTAI common shares, subject to certain conditions. The distribution of the shares of our common stock will take place on  , 2022. On the distribution date, each holder of FTAI common shares will receive one share of our common stock for each FTAI common share held at the close of business on the record date, as described below. Immediately following the distribution, FTAI’s shareholders will own substantially all of our common stock. You will not be required to make any payment, surrender or exchange your FTAI common shares or take any other action to receive your shares of our common stock.
The distribution of our common stock as described in this Information Statement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. We cannot provide any assurances that the distribution will be completed. For a more detailed description of these conditions, see the section entitled “—Conditions to the Distribution” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
The anticipated benefits of the spin-off are based on a number of assumptions, and there can be no assurance that such benefits will materialize to the extent anticipated or at all. In the event that the spin-off does not result in such benefits, the costs associated with the transaction, including an expected increase in general and administrative expenses and management compensation, could have a negative effect on our and FTAI’s financial condition and ability to make distributions to stockholders or shareholders. For more information about the risks associated with the spin-off, see “Risk Factors.”
Background of the Spin-Off
As part of FTAI’s ongoing strategic planning process, the FTAI board of directors and senior management regularly review and assess FTAI’s long-term goals and opportunities, industry trends, competitive environment, and short-and long-term performance in light of FTAI’s strategic plan, with the goal of maximizing shareholder value. In connection with these activities, the FTAI board of directors and senior management meet from time to time in the ordinary course of business to consider and evaluate various courses of action, including business combinations, acquisitions, dispositions, stock buybacks, special dividends, internal restructurings, capital raising, debt financings or refinancings, spin-offs and other transactions, and FTAI engaged Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as legal advisor. As part of this review, the FTAI board of directors directed FTAI management to begin exploring a potential spin-off transaction in April 2021. The FTAI board of directors considered the merits of a spin-off transaction in light of feedback that management had received from FTAI’s shareholders that had indicated that it was difficult to assess the value of FTAI against peer companies given its (i) combined aviation and infrastructure businesses, (ii) corporate structure as a Delaware limited liability company and (iii) tax status as a publicly traded partnership. As a result, the FTAI board of directors determined to explore the spin-off transaction, because the spin-off transaction, together with the proposed merger pursuant to which FTAI will merge with a subsidiary of FTAI and FTAI shareholders will receive stock in a non-U.S. company that holds FTAI’s aviation subsidiaries, would address the shareholder feedback described above. On December 15, 2021, the FTAI board of directors formed a special committee comprised solely of independent and disinterested board members and delegated to the special committee the full power and responsibility to, among other things, (x) review, evaluate and negotiate certain terms relating to the management agreements, the treatment of certain income incentive allocations and capital gains incentive allocations and the treatment of certain outstanding options held by FTAI’s manager and the non-employee directors of FTAI (collectively, the “Specified Matters”) and (y) act with respect to the Specified Matters.
As described in more detail in the section entitled “Summary—The Spin-Off,” the material terms of the ancillary agreements were initially determined by FTAI by making the material terms of the Company’s agreements substantially consistent with the terms in place at FTAI prior to the spin-off, to the extent applicable, and reviewing the terms of comparable transactions and taking into account structuring considerations. The terms of the internal reorganization and the merger were determined by FTAI to separate FTAI’s assets into the aviation business and the infrastructure business in accordance with contractual, regulatory and tax considerations and to effectuate the purposes of the transaction. The terms of the transaction, including the terms of the New Financing, are being negotiated with third-parties.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The material terms of the spin-off were proposed by FTAI for consideration by the special committee. The special committee hired Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP as its outside legal counsel to assist it in considering the terms of the proposed spin-off. The special committee reviewed with its outside legal counsel the terms of the definitive transaction agreements, including but not limited to, the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Plan, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of FTAI Infrastructure and the Management Agreement between the Manager and each of FTAI and FTAI Infrastructure. The special committee also received a review from an outside financial advisory firm, Houlihan Lokey, of publicly available information regarding stock options that were adjusted in selected spin-off transactions and publicly available information regarding selected external management agreements. The special committee considered other transactions and considerations as part of the full FTAI board process, including not proceeding with the spin-off transaction, as well as discussed the agreements related to the spin-off, and determined that the terms were substantially consistent with the terms in place prior to the spin-off, and agreed to approve the Specified Matters on this basis. The special committee agreed that the transaction would likely increase shareholder value and make it easier to determine each business’ separate valuation. Following the determination of the special committee, the board of directors of FTAI unanimously approved the transactions described herein, subject to the board of directors declaring the distribution prior to the closing of the spin-off.
The Number of Shares You Will Receive
For each FTAI common share that you owned at the close of business on    , 2022, the record date, you will receive one share of our common stock on the distribution date.
Transferability of Shares You Receive
Subject to the limitations on ownership described in “Description of Our Capital Securities—Ownership Restrictions for Company Securities,” the shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock distributed to FTAI shareholders will be freely transferable, except for shares received by persons who may be deemed to be FTAI Infrastructure “affiliates” under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of FTAI Infrastructure after the spin-off generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with FTAI Infrastructure and may include directors and certain officers or principal stockholders of FTAI Infrastructure. FTAI Infrastructure affiliates will be permitted to sell their shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as the exemptions afforded by Rule 144.
When and How You Will Receive the Distributed Shares
FTAI will distribute the shares of our common stock on   , 2022, the distribution date. AST will serve as distribution agent and registrar for our common stock and as distribution agent in connection with the distribution.
If you own FTAI common shares as of the close of business on the record date, the shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock that you are entitled to receive in the distribution will be issued electronically, as of the distribution date, to you or to your bank or brokerage firm on your behalf by way of direct registration in book-entry form. Registration in book-entry form refers to a method of recording stock ownership when no physical share certificates are issued to stockholders, as is the case in the distribution. No physical stock certificates of FTAI Infrastructure will be issued.
If you sell FTAI common shares in the “regular-way” market prior to the distribution date, you will also sell your right to receive shares of our common stock in the distribution.
For more information see the section entitled “—Market for Common Stock—Trading Between the Record Date and Distribution Date” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
Commencing on or shortly after the distribution date, if you hold physical stock certificates that represent your FTAI common shares, or if you hold your shares in book-entry form, and you are the registered holder of such shares, the distribution agent will mail to you an account statement that indicates the number of shares of our common stock that have been registered in book-entry form in your name.
50

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Most FTAI shareholders hold their FTAI common shares through a bank or brokerage firm. In such cases, the bank or brokerage firm would be said to hold the stock in “street name” and ownership would be recorded on the bank’s or brokerage firm’s books. If you hold your FTAI common shares through a bank or brokerage firm, your bank or brokerage firm will credit your account for the shares of our common stock that you are entitled to receive in the distribution. If you have any questions concerning the mechanics of having shares of our common stock held in “street name,” we encourage you to contact your bank or brokerage firm.
Results of the Distribution
After the distribution, we will be a separate, publicly traded company. Immediately following the distribution, we expect to have approximately 10 stockholders of record, based on the number of registered holders of FTAI common shares on April 1, 2022 and 99,188,696  shares of our common stock outstanding. The actual number of shares to be distributed will be determined on the record date and will reflect any changes in the number of FTAI common shares between April 1, 2022 and the record date for the distribution.
Prior to the spin-off, we will enter into a Separation and Distribution Agreement to effect the spin-off and provide for the allocation between us and FTAI of FTAI’s assets, liabilities and obligations (including tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to our spin-off from FTAI.
For a more detailed description of this agreement, see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”
The distribution will not affect the number of outstanding FTAI common shares or any rights of FTAI shareholders.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off
The following is a summary of U.S. federal income tax consequences generally applicable to the spin-off, and in particular the distribution by FTAI of FTAI Infrastructure common stock to common shareholders of FTAI. For purposes of this section under this heading “—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off”: references to “FTAI” mean only FTAI and not its subsidiaries or other lower-tier entities, except as otherwise indicated.
The information in this summary is based on: the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); current, temporary and proposed regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department (“Treasury Regulations”); the legislative history of the Code; current administrative interpretations and practices of the IRS; and court decisions; all as currently in effect, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described below. The summary is also based upon the assumption that FTAI, FTAI Infrastructure, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliated entities will operate in accordance with their applicable organizational documents or partnership agreements and the agreements and other documents applicable the spin-off. This summary is for general information only and is not legal or tax advice. The Code provisions applicable to the spin-off are highly technical and complex, and this summary is qualified in its entirety by the express language of applicable Code provisions, Treasury Regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof. Moreover, this summary does not purport to discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular investor in light of its investment or tax circumstances, or to investors subject to special tax rules, such as:
financial institutions;
insurance companies;
broker-dealers;
regulated investment companies;
partnerships and trusts;
persons who hold FTAI shares on behalf of another person as a nominee;
persons who receive FTAI shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation;
51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

persons holding FTAI shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated investment;
persons that own (actually or constructively) more than 5% of FTAI common shares;
tax-exempt organizations; and
except to the extent expressly discussed below, foreign investors.
This summary assumes that investors hold their FTAI common shares and will hold their FTAI Infrastructure common stock as capital assets, which generally means as property held for investment. This summary also assumes that investors will hold their FTAI common shares at all times from the record date through the distribution date. Special rules may apply to determine the tax consequences to an investor that purchases or sells FTAI common shares between the record date and the distribution date. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the consequences to you of any such sale.
For purposes of this discussion under this heading “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off,” a “U.S. Holder” is an FTAI shareholder that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, or of any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
an estate, the income of which is includable in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
a trust if (i) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person.
A “Non-U.S. Holder” is an FTAI shareholder that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds FTAI shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. An investor that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the spin-off.
The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the spin-off will depend in some instances on determinations of fact and interpretations of complex provisions of U.S. federal income tax law for which no clear precedent or authority may be available. In addition, the tax consequences of the spin-off to any particular FTAI shareholder will depend on the shareholder’s particular tax circumstances. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the federal, state, local, and foreign income and other tax consequences to you of the spin-off in light of your particular investment or tax circumstances.
Tax Treatment of the Spin-Off to U.S. Holders
The following discussion describes the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of FTAI common shares upon the receipt of FTAI Infrastructure common stock in the spin-off.
Subject to the discussions below of the rules governing distributions of “marketable securities” and the “disguised sale” rules, the distribution of FTAI Infrastructure common stock is generally not expected to be a taxable event for U.S. Holders. An FTAI shareholder’s tax basis in shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock received in the spin-off generally will be equal to the lesser of (i) FTAI’s basis in such common stock on the distribution date (as reduced to reflect any election under Section 362(e), as described below), and (ii) such holder’s tax basis in its FTAI shares immediately prior to the distribution. The holding period for the FTAI Infrastructure common stock received in the spin-off will take into account FTAI’s holding period with respect thereto. The holding period for the holder’s FTAI shares will not be affected by the distribution.
An FTAI shareholder’s basis in FTAI shares held at the time of the distribution will generally be reduced (but not below zero) by FTAI’s tax basis in the FTAI Infrastructure common stock received immediately prior to the distribution. However, if the spin-off were to be treated as a liquidating distribution occurring in connection with the deemed liquidation of FTAI as a result of the Aviation Merger, then the shareholder’s basis in its FTAI shares
52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

immediately prior to the spin-off would be allocated between the FTAI Infrastructure common stock received and the other shares deemed distributed in such liquidation based on their relative fair market values, without regard to FTAI’s basis in the FTAI Infrastructure common stock. Although FTAI does not intend to report the spin-off as part of a liquidating distribution, no assurances can be given in that regard. FTAI may not be able to advise shareholders of its basis in FTAI Infrastructure common stock until after the spin-off occurs.
FTAI’s holding period (and therefore a U.S. Holder’s holding period) in FTAI Infrastructure common stock may be divided between blocks of stock that were acquired by FTAI on different dates and at different prices. As a general rule, if a shareholder has a divided holding period in common stock and sells its entire interest, any capital gain or loss recognized shall be divided between long-term and short-term capital gain or loss in the same proportions as the holding period of the interest in the corporation is divided between the portion of the interest deemed held for more than twelve (12) months and the portion of the interest deemed held for twelve (12) months or less. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding how to allocate between long-term and short-term capital gain if they sell less than all of their FTAI Infrastructure common stock.
Under Section 731(c) of the Code, a partnership’s distribution of “marketable securities” to a partner is generally treated as a distribution of cash, which would generally be taxable to the extent that such distribution exceeds the partner’s adjusted tax basis in its partnership interest. Although shares of FTAI Infrastructure stock will be considered “marketable securities” under Section 731(c) immediately following the spin-off, FTAI anticipates that certain exceptions to these rules should apply to the distribution in connection with the spin-off such that the distribution in general should not trigger gain recognition under these rules.
Under Section 707(a) of the Code, a transfer of money or property by a partner to a partnership followed by a related transfer of property by the partnership to the partner is treated as a disguised sale if (i) the second transfer would not have occurred but for the first transfer and (ii) the second transfer is not dependent on the entrepreneurial risks of the partnership’s operations. Transfers of money or other property between a partnership and a partner that are made within two years of each other must be reported to the IRS and are presumed to be a disguised sale unless the facts and circumstances clearly establish that the transfers do not constitute a sale.
Under these rules, it is possible that the IRS could assert that the distribution of FTAI Infrastructure common stock by FTAI or the Partnership in connection with the spin-off, together with contributions of cash to FTAI by certain holders, or to the Partnership by FTAI, in the two years preceding the spin-off, should be treated as a sale of property to such contributing holders. FTAI intends to take the position that the facts and circumstances establish the absence of a sale in connection with the spin-off. Nevertheless, in light of the lack of directly applicable authority, there can be no assurance that the disguised sale rules will not apply. If FTAI’s position were successfully challenged, holders who purchased FTAI shares for cash from FTAI in the two years preceding the spin-off would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if they had purchased FTAI Infrastructure common stock in exchange for cash. Similar treatment could apply to contributions by FTAI to the Partnership in the two years preceding the spin-off. In that case, FTAI or the Partnership, as applicable, would generally be required to recognize gain or loss, which gain would be allocated to all of its holders. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the potential disguised sale of the FTAI Infrastructure common stock.
Tax Treatment of the Spin-Off to Non-U.S. Holders
The following discussion describes the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of FTAI common shares upon the receipt of FTAI Infrastructure common stock in the spin-off.
Non-U.S. Holders are generally not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on the distribution of FTAI Infrastructure common stock (and will generally be subject to the basis and holding period rules applicable to a U.S. Holder, as described above).
Withholding of Amounts Distributable to Non-U.S. Holders in the Spin-off
Although FTAI generally does not expect that withholding will be required in connection with the distribution of FTAI Infrastructure stock in the spin-off, if withholding is required on any amounts otherwise distributable to a Non-U.S. Holder in the spin-off, FTAI or other applicable withholding agents may collect the amount required to be withheld by converting to cash for remittance to the IRS a sufficient portion of FTAI Infrastructure common stock that such Non-U.S. Holder would otherwise receive or may withhold from other property held in the Non-U.S. Holder’s account with the withholding agent, and such holder may bear brokerage or other costs for this withholding
53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

procedure. A Non-U.S. Holder may seek a refund from the IRS of any amounts withheld if it is subsequently determined that the amounts withheld exceeded the holder’s U.S. tax liability for the year in which the spin-off occurred.
Restructuring Transactions
As noted above, FTAI and its subsidiaries have engaged and intend to engage in certain Restructuring Transactions in connection with the spin-off. It is possible that FTAI will recognize income or gain as a result of those transactions. Holders of FTAI common shares may be subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income taxation on their allocable share of FTAI’s items of income or gain realized in connection with the Restructuring Transactions. The amount of such income or gain may depend, in part, on events after the spin-off, such as those that give rise to earnings and profits in the current taxable year. FTAI will not be able to advise shareholders of income or gain recognized in the Restructuring Transactions until after the spin-off occurs.
In addition, if the aggregate fair market value of the assets transferred by the Partnership to FTAI Infrastructure in the Restructuring Transactions is less than their aggregate tax basis at the time of their contribution, FTAI Infrastructure generally would be required to reduce its basis in those assets to their fair market value. However, under Section 362(e), an election is available to reduce the basis of certain of the shares of FTAI Infrastructure stock received by the Partnership instead of reducing the corresponding portion of the basis of the assets of FTAI Infrastructure. The Partnership may make an election under Section 362(e) of the Code. If made, the Partnership’s basis in its FTAI Infrastructure shares generally would be reduced, but not below zero, by the difference between the Partnership’s basis in its assets and the fair market value of those assets at the time of the contribution. In addition, Treasury Regulations provide that a partnership’s reduction, pursuant to an election under Section 362(e) of the Code, of its basis in stock it holds results in a corresponding reduction of certain partners’ basis in their partnership interests, which reduction would flow through the Partnership to FTAI shareholders. Any reduction in the Partnership’s tax basis in its shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock would carry over to the FTAI Infrastructure common stock that FTAI’s common shareholders receive in connection with the spin-off. Such reduced basis would result in increased gain (or reduced loss) upon disposition of FTAI Infrastructure shares by such holder. Holders are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisers with respect to matters relating to the application of Section 362(e) and any election thereunder.
Market For Common Stock
There is currently no public market for our common stock. A condition to the distribution is the listing on Nasdaq of our common stock. We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “FIP.”
Trading Between the Record Date and Distribution Date
Beginning shortly before the record date and continuing up to and through the distribution date, we expect that there will be two markets in FTAI common shares: a “regular-way” market and an “ex-distribution” market. FTAI common shares that trade on the “regular-way” market will trade with an entitlement to shares of our common stock distributed pursuant to the distribution. FTAI common shares that trade on the “ex-distribution” market will trade without an entitlement to shares of our common stock distributed pursuant to the distribution. Therefore, if you sell FTAI common shares in the “regular-way” market through the distribution date, you will also sell your right to receive shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock in the distribution. If you own FTAI common shares at the close of business on the record date and sell those shares on the “ex-distribution” market through the distribution date, you will still receive the shares of our common stock that you would be entitled to receive pursuant to your ownership of the FTAI common shares on the record date. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the treatment of the distribution to you if you purchase or sell FTAI common shares between the record date and the distribution date.
Furthermore, beginning on or shortly before the record date and continuing up to and through the distribution date, we expect that there will be a “when-issued” market in our common stock. “When-issued” trading refers to a sale or purchase made conditionally because the security has been authorized but not yet issued. The “when-issued” trading market will be a market for our common stock that will be distributed to FTAI shareholders on the distribution date. If you owned FTAI common shares at the close of business on the record date, you would be entitled to shares of our common stock distributed pursuant to the distribution. You may trade this entitlement to shares of our common stock, without trading the FTAI common shares you own, on the “when-issued” market. On the first trading day following the distribution date, “when-issued” trading with respect to our common stock will end and “regular-way” trading will begin.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Conditions to the Distribution
We expect that the distribution will occur on     , 2022, the distribution date, provided that, among other conditions described in this Information Statement, the following conditions shall have been satisfied:
our registration statement on Form 10, of which this Information Statement is a part, shall have become effective under the Exchange Act, and no stop order relating to the registration statement shall be in effect;
all other actions and filings necessary or appropriate under applicable federal or state securities laws and state blue sky laws in connection with the transactions shall have been taken;
an outside valuation advisory firm or firms acceptable to FTAI shall have delivered one or more opinions to the board of directors of FTAI regarding solvency and capital adequacy matters with respect to FTAI and FTAI Infrastructure after consummation of the distribution, and such opinions shall be acceptable to FTAI in form and substance in FTAI’s sole discretion and such opinions shall not have been withdrawn or rescinded;
the FTAI Infrastructure common stock to be distributed in the separation shall have been accepted for listing on Nasdaq, subject to compliance with applicable listing requirements;
the Restructuring Transactions shall have been completed;
any ancillary agreements shall have been executed and delivered by each of FTAI and us, as applicable, and no party to any of the ancillary agreements will be in material breach of any such agreement;
any material governmental and third-party approvals shall have been obtained and be in full force and effect; and
no order, injunction or decree issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing consummation of the distribution or any of the transactions related thereto, including the transfers of assets and liabilities contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, shall be in effect.
We cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived. In addition, if the separation is completed and FTAI’s board of directors waives any such condition, such waiver could have a material adverse effect on FTAI’s and FTAI Infrastructure’s respective business, financial condition or results of operations, including, without limitation, as a result of illiquid trading due to the failure of FTAI Infrastructure common stock to be accepted for listing, litigation relating to any preliminary or permanent injunctions that sought to prevent the consummation of the separation, or the failure of FTAI or FTAI Infrastructure to obtain any required regulatory approvals. As of the date hereof, the board of directors of FTAI does not intend to waive any of the conditions described herein and would only consider such a waiver if it determined that such action was in the best interests of FTAI and its shareholders.
The fulfillment of the above conditions will not create any obligation on behalf of FTAI to effect the separation. Until the separation has occurred, FTAI has the right to terminate the separation, even if all the conditions have been satisfied, if the board of directors of FTAI determines, in its sole discretion, that the separation is not in the best interests of FTAI and its stockholders or that market conditions or other circumstances are such that the separation of FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI is no longer advisable at that time.
Reasons for the Spin-Off
FTAI’s board of directors periodically reviews strategic alternatives. The FTAI board of directors, and a special committee thereof, determined upon careful review and consideration that the spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure is in the best interests of FTAI. The FTAI board of directors’ determination to move forward was based on a number of factors, including those set forth below.
Creates two independent companies, each with the opportunity to pursue growth through the execution of distinctly different business plans. We and FTAI’s board of directors believe that having two independent companies with distinct investment profiles will maximize the strategic focus and financial flexibility of each company to grow and return capital to stockholders. We and FTAI’s board of directors believe that the two businesses, each with a clear focus, strong, independent boards of directors, and strengthened balance sheets, will create greater shareholder value as two companies than as one.
55

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Enhances investor transparency, better highlights the attributes of both companies, and provides investors with the option to invest in one or both companies. The separation will provide each shareholder the opportunity to make an individual allocation of capital to one or both of the two differentiated businesses, each with a distinct investment risk/return profile. In addition, we and FTAI’s board of directors believe the separation will make FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI more competitive and appealing to a broader investor audience moving forward, providing them with the opportunity to invest in two companies with compelling value propositions and distinct investment strategies. Investors can increase their allocation to FTAI Infrastructure or to FTAI, depending on their preference.
Tailored capital structure and financing options. Each company will have the flexibility to create a capital structure tailored to its needs, and each may be able to attain more favorable financing terms separately. In addition, tailored capital structures will facilitate each company’s ability to pursue acquisitions, possibly using common stock, and other strategic alliances.
Stock ownership. We believe the conversion of FTAI Infrastructure to a Delaware corporation and the subsequent spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure will make it easier for both domestic and international investors to own its stock and help simplify shareholders’ tax reporting, which we expect should provide for significant growth potential for our shareholders. In addition, FTAI’s subsequent restructuring from a publicly traded partnership to a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes is also expected to provide for significant growth potential for FTAI’s shareholders.
The board of directors of FTAI also considered a number of potentially negative factors in evaluating the separation, including the following:
Anticipated benefits of the separation may not be realized. Following the separation, FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI will be independent companies. FTAI Infrastructure and/or FTAI may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that it expects to achieve as a company independent from the other in the time it expects, if at all.
There may be disruptions to the business as a result of the separation. The actions required to separate FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI could disrupt FTAI Infrastructure’s and FTAI’s operations after the separation. The separation and distribution may divert management’s time and attention, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Costs of the separation. FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI will incur costs in connection with the transition to being separate public companies that include accounting, tax, legal and other professional service costs. In addition, FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI will incur costs in connection with operating as separate, stand alone public companies that the combined company otherwise shared, such as expenses associated with reporting and compliance as public companies and separate management and incentive fees, working capital requirements, overhead, insurance, financing and other operating costs, as well the potentially higher cost of capital as separate companies.
There may be conflicts between FTAI Infrastructure and FTAI. There may be, or there may be the appearance of, conflicts of interest in FTAI Infrastructure’s relationship with FTAI. We expect certain directors to overlap at least at the outset and we expect that, if and to the extent matters come before the board as to which there is a conflict between the two companies, that the companies would take appropriate steps so that decisions with respect to such matters are made by disinterested and independent directors. The agreements between FTAI and us, if any, generally will not limit or restrict FTAI or its affiliates from engaging in any business or managing other entities that engage in business of the type conducted by us. Actual, potential, or perceived conflicts could give rise to investor dissatisfaction, settlements with stockholders, litigation, or regulatory inquiries or enforcement actions.
As part of the FTAI board of director's process, the members of the special committee were involved in various discussions since February 2021 related to investor relations, share price and certain value creation solutions, including but not limited to, a discussion to potentially spin out FTAI's infrastructure business. During this time, the FTAI board of directors discussed FTAI's projections, financial and otherwise, continuing as a consolidated business versus spinning off the infrastructure business and decided there was sufficient growth potential to split FTAI into two independent publicly-traded companies. FTAI also made a large acquisition of Transtar from U.S. Steel which bolstered its infrastructure business and EBITDA projections. The members of the special committee, as part of the
56

TABLE OF CONTENTS

full FTAI board of director's process, had a number of discussions with management as they explored the potential of spinning out the infrastructure business and considered various topics, including potential additional expenses related to running two public companies, potential market and analyst reactions to a spin-off for both FTAI and the new entity, the post-split projected economics, and potential capital structures for the two entities post-spin-off and how each could create greater shareholder value. The special committee concluded that the proposed spin-off is in the best interests of FTAI and its shareholders.
Following the separation, FTAI Infrastructure will be an infrastructure assets company and will not operate under the umbrella of FTAI. FTAI Infrastructure’s business may be negatively impacted by this loss of operating diversity, including the purchasing power, financing options, and ability to share overhead costs associated with operating as part of a larger organization. The board of directors of FTAI concluded that the potential benefits of the separation outweighed these factors. For more information about the risks associated with the spin-off, see “Risk Factors.”
Reasons for Furnishing this Information Statement
This Information Statement is being furnished solely to provide information to FTAI shareholders who are entitled to receive shares of FTAI Infrastructure common stock in the distribution. The Information Statement is not, and is not to be construed as, an inducement or encouragement to buy, hold or sell any of our securities or securities of FTAI. We believe that the information in this Information Statement is accurate as of the date set forth on the cover. Changes may occur after that date and neither FTAI nor we undertake any obligation to update such information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DIVIDEND POLICY
We intend to make regular quarterly dividends to holders of our common stock out of assets legally available for this purpose, subject to satisfactory financial performance and approval by FTAI Infrastructure’s board of directors. Any declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applicable to the payment of dividends and other considerations that our board of directors deems relevant.
Because we are a holding company and have no direct operations, we will only be able to pay dividends from our available cash on hand and any funds we receive from our subsidiaries. Our ability to pay dividends will be limited by restrictions contained in the Series A Preferred Stock, the agreements governing the New Financing, and the future indebtedness that we may incur. Under Delaware law, dividends may be payable only out of surplus, which is calculated as our net assets less our liabilities and our capital, or, if we have no surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure from FTAI. Following the spin-off, the businesses of FTAI will separate into two distinct, publicly traded companies comprising the infrastructure business and the aviation business. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements have been derived from our historical audited and unaudited combined consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and our historical audited combined consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 of FTAI Infrastructure. As detailed in the section entitled “Summary—Overview of the Separation” included elsewhere in this Information Statement, FTAI Infrastructure LLC will be allocated the Infrastructure Subsidiaries (the predecessor group) and other assets and liabilities related to the infrastructure business.
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements consist of an unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022, and unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements reported below should be read in conjunction with our historical audited and unaudited combined consolidated financial statements and the related notes of FTAI Infrastructure, the consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Transtar, LLC, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this Information Statement.
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 give effect to the separation and distribution of FTAI Infrastructure from FTAI and the related transactions described below as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 gives effect to the separation and distribution of FTAI Infrastructure from FTAI and the related transactions described below as if they had occurred on such date.
In management’s opinion, the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly FTAI Infrastructure’s pro forma results and financial position as of and for the period indicated. Such adjustments include transaction accounting and autonomous entity adjustments. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, given the information available at this time, reasonable and reflect changes necessary to reflect FTAI Infrastructure’s financial condition and results of operations as if we were a stand-alone company. Actual adjustments may differ materially from the information presented herein.
Transaction accounting adjustments that reflect the effects of FTAI Infrastructure’s separation from FTAI include the following adjustments:
the acquisition of Transtar, LLC;
the issuance of a debt financing arrangement of $500 million;
the issuance of a preferred equity financing arrangement of $300 million;
the issuance of our common stock to holders of FTAI common shares;
the elimination of FTAI’s net investment in us;
the recognition of certain transaction costs resulting from the separation and distribution that were not included in our historical combined consolidated financial statements; and
the tax impact for the change in tax reporting structure.
Autonomous entity adjustments of incremental expense or other charges necessary to reflect the operations and financial positions of FTAI Infrastructure as an independent and separate publicly traded company.
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements include all revenues and costs directly attributable to FTAI Infrastructure as well as an allocation of expenses related to facilities, corporate overhead, professional fees, personnel costs, and other related expenses for services provided by FTAI’s Manager in accordance
59

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with the management agreement. The charges reflected have either been specifically identified or allocated based on an estimate of time spent on FTAI Infrastructure’s businesses. These allocated costs are included within the FTAI Infrastructure combined consolidated statement of operations.
Transactions between FTAI and us are accounted for through net parent investment in FTAI Infrastructure. Any transactions with FTAI are considered to be effectively settled in our unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements as of the separation and distribution date. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in our unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheets as additional paid-in capital.
As an independent, publicly traded company, we expect to incur certain incremental costs resulting from the separation and distribution that were not included in our historical combined consolidated financial statements. These costs include legal, accounting and advisory fees, and are reflected as autonomous entity adjustments in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements.
Actual transactions costs incurred as of the balance sheet date have been reflected in our historical combined consolidated financial statements. Additional costs relating to the spin-off incurred after the balance sheet date and an estimate of costs to be incurred have been included in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements.
Our unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are for illustrative and informational purposes only, and are not intended to represent what our results of operations or financial position would have been had the separation and distribution and related transactions occurred on the dates assumed. These unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements also should not be considered indicative of our future results of operations or financial position as a separate publicly traded company.
