Letter from the Chairman and Responsible Entity’s Chief Executive

Australian Infrastructure Fund — Retail Entitlement Offer

Dear Securityholder,

Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited ( AIFL ) together with Hastings Funds Management Limited ( Hastings ) as Responsible Entity of the Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust, (together AIX ) are pleased to advise Eligible Securityholders of the opportunity to participate in a 1 for 2 entitlement offer of new stapled securities ( New Securities ) in AIX[1] , at an issue price of $1.10 per New Security.

This offer is part of the entitlement offer on 18 June 2009 where AIX announced its intention to raise approximately $211.5 million in new capital and is non-renounceable ( Entitlement Offer ). The Entitlement Offer has been fully underwritten.

The net proceeds from the Entitlement Offer will be used to repay the existing Multi Option Facility and to fund organic growth initiatives in the existing Australian airport portfolio.

The retail component of the Entitlement Offer ( Retail Entitlement Offer ) will raise approximately $105 million. The issue price of $1.10 per New Security under the Retail Entitlement Offer is the same issue price paid by Eligible Institutional Investors under the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ), and represents a discount of 29.9% to the distribution-adjusted closing price of AIX securities on 17 June 2009, and a discount of 22.2% to the distribution-adjusted theoretical ex-rights price.

The Retail Information Booklet and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form each contain important information about the Retail Entitlement Offer. The Retail Information Booklet also contains an announcement and an investor presentation released to the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) concerning the Entitlement Offer. You should read these documents carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether or not to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

To participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, you must have applied for New Securities before 5.00pm on 10 July 2009, otherwise your rights under the Retail Entitlement Offer will lapse.

You should seek appropriate professional advice before making your investment decision. If you have any questions about the Retail Entitlement Offer, please contact the AIX Securityholder Information Line on 1300 132 288 (within Australia) or on +61 3 9415 4054 (from outside Australia) before the Final Retail Closing Date.

The Boards of AIFL and Hastings recommend the Retail Entitlement Offer to you and thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely

What should you do?

1. Read this Retail Information Booklet and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and seek advice as appropriate

This Retail Information Booklet and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form contain important information about the Retail Entitlement Offer. You should read them carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether or not to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

If you are in doubt as to the course you should follow, you should seek appropriate professional advice before making an investment decision.

2. Decide what you want to do

If you are an Eligible Retail Securityholder, you may subscribe for all, some or none of your Entitlement or apply for additional New Securities in excess of your Entitlement (see Section 2 for further details).

Eligible Retail Securityholders who do not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer will have their percentage holding in AIX reduced. Eligible Retail Securityholders who participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer will see their percentage holding in AIX reduce, increase or stay the same depending on the proportion of their Entitlement they subscribe for and the total number of New Securities issued under the Entitlement Offer.

Entitlements cannot be traded or otherwise transferred on the ASX or any other exchange or privately.

3. Apply for New Securities

To participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, you must have applied for New Securities before 5.00pm on 10 July 2009, otherwise your rights under the Retail Entitlement Offer will lapse.

Eligible Retail Securityholders who choose to apply, with full payment of all Application Monies by BPay®, before the Initial Retail Acceptance Due Date will be issued New Securities at the same time as Eligible Institutional Securityholders participating in the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

See Section 2 and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for further details.

Section 1 Overview of the Entitlement Offer

1.1 Entitlement Offer

AIX intends to raise approximately $211.5 million under the Entitlement Offer.

Under the Entitlement Offer, AIX is offering Eligible Securityholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Security for every 2 Existing Securities[2] held on the Record Date. The issue price per New Security is $1.10. The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that the Entitlements are non-transferable and cannot be sold or traded.

Please refer to the ASX Announcement and the Investor Presentation annexed to this Retail Information Booklet for information on the purpose of the Entitlement Offer, the sources and application of the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer, and for information on AIX’s business, performance and strategy. You should also consider other publicly available information about AIX available at www.asx.com.au and www.hfm.com.au/aif.

1.2 Retail Entitlement Offer

Eligible Retail Securityholders are invited to subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement and are being sent this Retail Information Booklet with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. In addition, Eligible Retail Securityholders may also subscribe for additional New Securities in excess of their Entitlement.

The Retail Entitlement Offer constitutes an offer only to Eligible Retail Securityholders, being Securityholders on the Record Date who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and are eligible under all applicable laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer. The following persons are not entitled to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer:

  • any Eligible Institutional Securityholder (other than a nominee to the extent that the nominee also holds on behalf of an Eligible Retail Securityholder); or

  • any Ineligible Institutional Securityholder.

  • 2 Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, the Entitlement will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of New Securities.

4

Australian Infrastructure Fund

Eligible Retail Securityholders have the opportunity to be allotted New Securities at the same time as Eligible Institutional Securityholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer, on 6 July 2009 if they submit an Application by paying all relevant Application Monies by BPay® by the Initial Retail Acceptance Date. Otherwise, the Retail Entitlement Offer closes on 10 July 2009, with New Securities to be allotted on 17 July 2009.

The Retail Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten, and will raise approximately $105 million. The issue price under the Retail Entitlement Offer is the same as the issue price under the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

1.3 Institutional Entitlement Offer

On 18 June 2009 and 19 June 2009, AIX successfully conducted the Institutional Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $106 million at an issue price of $1.10 per Security. The Institutional Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten and New Securities are expected to be allotted under the Institutional Entitlement Offer on 6 July 2009.

1.4 Ranking of New Securities

New Securities will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with Existing Securities except that New Securities will not be entitled to receive the June 2009 full year distribution.

1.5 Reconciliation

In any entitlement offer investors may believe that they own more existing securities on the record date than they ultimately do. This may result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all Eligible Securityholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement. If reconciliation is required, it is possible that AIX may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Securities ( Top-Up Securities ) to ensure all Eligible Institutional Securityholders and Eligible Retail Securityholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement. The price at which these Top-Up Securities will be issued will be the same as the issue price.

AIX also reserves the right to reduce the number of New Securities allocated to Eligible Securityholders or persons claiming to be Eligible Securityholders, if their Entitlement claims prove to be overstated, or if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their Entitlement claims, or if they are indeed not Eligible Securityholders.

1.6 Quotation and trading

AIX will apply to ASX for the offi cial quotation of the New Securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule requirements.

Subject to approval being granted, it is expected that:

  • normal trading of New Securities allotted under the Initial Allotment will commence on 6 July 2009; and

  • normal trading of New Securities allotted under the Final Allotment will commence on 20 July 2009.

1.7 Holding Statements

Holding statements are expected to be dispatched to Eligible Retail Securityholders:

  • on 7 July 2009 in respect of New Securities allotted under the Initial Allotment; and

  • on 21 July 2009 in respect of New Securities allotted under the Final Allotment.

It is the responsibility of each applicant to confi rm their holding before trading in New Securities. Any applicant who sells New Securities before receiving confi rmation of their holding in the form of their holding statement will do so at their own risk. AIX and the Underwriters disclaim all liability whether in negligence or otherwise (and to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Securities before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confi rmation of the allocation provided by AIX, the Registry or the Underwriters.

1.8 Withdrawal of the Entitlement Offer

AIX reserves the right to withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time, in which case AIX will refund any Application Monies already received in accordance with the Corporations Act and will do so without interest.

1.9 Allocation policy

All Eligible Retail Securityholders will be allocated New Securities applied for up to their Entitlement. All applications for additional New Securities in excess of Entitlements will be allocated at the discretion of the Underwriters and will be subject to any scale back or cap determined by the Underwriters in consultation with AIX.

==> picture [596 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

Section 2 How to Apply – Eligible Retail Securityholders

Eligible Retail Securityholders should read this Section in its entirety for instructions on the choices available to you. You should also refer to Section 1 of this Retail Information Booklet for an overview of the Entitlement Offer.

2.1 Eligible Retail Securityholders

An Eligible Retail Securityholder is a person who is registered as the holder of Existing Securities on the Record Date, and who:

  • has a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;

  • is eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer; and

  • is not an Eligible Institutional Securityholder or an Ineligible Institutional Securityholder.

Eligible Retail Securityholders will receive a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out their Entitlement, which accompanies this Retail Information Booklet.

The Retail Entitlement Offer is not being made in the United States or to, or for the account or benefi t of, US Persons. In addition, neither the Company nor the Trust are registered as an ‘investment company’ under the Investment Company Act. Accordingly, Eligible Retail Securityholders (including nominees) who hold Shares on behalf of persons in the US or that are US Persons may not take up their Entitlements or subscribe for New Securities on behalf of such persons, and may not send to such persons this Retail Information Booklet and any documents relating to the offer.

Each purchaser of New Securities under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed that:

  • neither the entitlements nor the New Securities have been, nor will be, registered under the Securities Act or any US state or other securities laws, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred in the US or to, or for the account or benefi t of, a US Person;

  • it is not in the United States, and is not a US Person or acting for the account or benefi t of a US Person;

  • it will not send this Retail Information Booklet or any other material relating to the Entitlement Offer to any person in the United States or that is a US Person; and

  • if in the future it decides to sell or otherwise transfer its New Securities, it will only do so in regular way transactions on ASX where neither it nor any person acting on its behalf knows, or has reason to know, that the sale has been pre-arranged with, or that the purchaser is, a US Person.

2.2 Choices available to Eligible Retail Securityholders

Eligible Retail Securityholders may do any one of the following:

  1. take up all or part of their Entitlement (refer to Section 2.3);

  2. take up all of their Entitlement and apply for additional New Securities in excess of their Entitlement (refer to Section 2.3); or

  3. do nothing (refer to Section 2.5).

The Retail Entitlement Offer is a pro-rata offer to Eligible Retail Securityholders only.

2.3 If you wish to take up all of, or part of or more than your Entitlement

If you wish to take up your Entitlement in full or in part, or if you wish to take up your Entitlement in full and apply for additional New Securities in excess of your Entitlement, there are two different ways you can submit your Application and Application Monies.

6

Australian Infrastructure Fund

2.3.1 Submit your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with cheque, bank draft or money order for all Application Monies

To apply and pay by cheque, bank draft or money order, you should:

  • read this Retail Information Booklet and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form in their entirety and seek appropriate professional advice if necessary;

  • complete the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Retail Information Booklet in accordance with the instructions set out on that form, and indicate the number of New Securities you wish to subscribe for; and

  • return the form to the Registry (address details below) together with a cheque, bank draft or money order which must be:

  • in respect of the full Application Monies (being $1.10 multiplied by the number of New Securities you wish to subscribe for);

  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a fi nancial institution; and

  • made payable to ‘AIX Application Account’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’.

You should ensure that suffi cient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the full Application Monies.

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

If you wish to be allotted New Securities at the same time as Eligible Institutional Securityholders on the Initial Allotment Date being 6 July 2009, your payment must be made using BPay® by no later than the Initial Retail Acceptance Due Date of 5.00pm (AEST) on 1 July 2009. If your Entitlement and Acceptance Form and your Application Monies in cleared funds are received after the Initial Retail Acceptance Due Date, but before the Final Retail Closing Date, New Securities will be allotted to you on the Final Allotment Date being 17 July 2009. Entitlement and Acceptance Forms (and payments for Application Monies) will not be accepted after the Final Retail Closing Date, being 5:00 pm (AEST) on 10 July 2009, and no New Securities will be issued to you in respect of that Application.

You need to ensure that your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque, bank draft or money order in respect of the full Application Monies reaches the Registry at the following postal address:

Australian Infrastructure Fund c/- Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box 505 Melbourne Vic 3001

Entitlement and Acceptance Forms (and payments for any Application Monies) will not be accepted at AIX’s registered or corporate offi ces.

For the convenience of Eligible Retail Securityholders, an Australian reply paid envelope addressed to the Registry has been enclosed with this Retail Information Booklet.

Note that if you have more than one holding of Securities, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding. A separate Entitlement and Acceptance Form and payment of Application Monies must be completed for each separate Entitlement you hold.

2.3.2 Payment via BPay®

To apply and pay via BPay ® , you should:

  • read this Retail Information Booklet and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form in their entirety and seek appropriate professional advice if necessary;

  • make your payment in respect of the full Application Monies via BPay® for the number of New Securities you wish to subscribe for (being the issue price of $1.10 per New Security multiplied by the number of New Securities you are applying for). You can only make a payment via BPay® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian fi nancial institution.

If you choose to pay via BPay® you are not required to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make the statements on that form and representations outlined below in Section 2.4 “Implications of making an Application”, including the Eligible Retail Securityholder declarations set out at page 37 (inside back cover of this Retail Information Booklet).

7

==> picture [596 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

If you wish to be allotted New Securities at the same time as Eligible Institutional Securityholders on the Initial Allotment Date being 6 July 2009, you must make payment of the Application Monies via BPay® no later than the Initial Retail Acceptance Due Date of 5:00 pm (AEST) on 1 July 2009. If you make payment of the Application Monies after the Initial Retail Acceptance Due Date, but before the Final Retail Closing Date, New Securities will be allotted to you on the Final Allotment Date being 17 July 2009. Your payment of the Application Monies will not be accepted after the Final Retail Closing Date, being 5:00 pm (AEST) on 10 July 2009, and no New Securities will be issued to you in respect of that Application.

If you have multiple holdings you will have multiple BPay® reference numbers. To ensure you receive your Entitlement in respect of that holding, you must use the reference number shown on each personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form when paying for any New Securities that you wish to apply for in respect of that holding.

If the amount of Application Monies is insuffi cient to pay in full for the number of New Securities you applied for, or is more than the number of New Securities you applied for, you will be taken to have applied for such whole number of New Securities which is covered in full by your Application Monies, up to your full Entitlement. Alternatively, your Application will be rejected.

If you apply for additional New Securities in excess of your Entitlement and you are not allocated all or some of the additional New Securities applied for, the relevant Application Monies will be refunded to you after the Final Allotment Date in accordance with the Corporations Act, without interest.

2.4 Implications of making an Application

Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application Monies for New Securities via BPay® will be taken to constitute a representation by the Eligible Retail Securityholder that they:

  • 1 have received a copy of this Retail Information Booklet accompanying the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them in their entirety;

  • 2 make the Eligible Retail Securityholder declarations set out below at page 37 (inside back cover of this Retail Information Booklet);

  • 3 acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPay® payment instruction is given in relation to any Application Monies, the Application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.

2.5 If you do nothing

If you are an Eligible Retail Securityholder and you do nothing, then New Securities representing your Entitlement will be offered to Eligible Retail Securityholders who subscribe for additional New Securities in excess of their Entitlement. If there is not suffi cient demand for New Securities from Eligible Retail Securityholders who applied for additional New Securities in excess of their Entitlement, the Underwriters will subscribe or procure subscription for those Securities.

You should also note that, if you do not take up all or part of your Entitlement, then your percentage securityholding in AIX will be diluted due to your non-participation in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

2.6 Enquiries

This Retail Information Booklet and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form are important and require your immediate attention. You should read them in their entirety. If you are in doubt as to the course you should follow you should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser. If you:

  • have questions in relation to the Existing Securities upon which your Entitlement has been calculated;

  • have questions on how to complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or take up your Entitlement; or

  • you have lost your Entitlement and Acceptance Form and would like a replacement form, please call the AIX Securityholder Information Line on 1300 132 288 (within Australia) or on +61 3 9415 4054 (from outside Australia) at any time from 8.30am to 5.00pm (AEST) Monday to Friday during the Entitlement Offer Period.

Set out below are the general Australian income tax implications in respect of the Entitlement Offer for Australian resident individual Securityholders that hold their Securities on capital account. It does not apply to Securityholders that hold their Securities on revenue account or as trading stock, nor does it apply to non-resident Securityholders.

This summary has been prepared for general circulation and does not take into account the objectives, tax position, fi nancial situation or needs of any investor. Accordingly, any investor should, before acting on this material, seek independent professional tax advice.

This summary is based on the income tax legislation and established interpretations as at the date of this Retail Information Booklet.

3.1 Taxation of Entitlement Offer

3.1.1 Issue of Entitlements

The issue of Entitlements should not give rise to any income tax implications for Securityholders.

3.1.2 Exercise of Entitlements

The exercise by Eligible Securityholders of their Entitlements to acquire New Securities under the Entitlement Offer will not result in any capital gain or capital loss being recognised for CGT purposes. Further, Securityholders should not derive assessable income from the exercise of the Entitlement.

Each New Security is comprised of two separate CGT assets (being a share in Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited and a unit in the Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust).

Securityholders will be taken to have acquired the New Securities on the date of exercising the Entitlement and for the amount paid on exercising those rights plus any incidental costs. The cost base of the New Securities will need to be allocated between the share in Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited and the unit in the Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust. This will be of particular importance to Securityholders when calculating the CGT liability on any subsequent disposal of the New Securities or receipt of any non-assessable distribution from Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust or Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited.

Securityholders will need to allocate the cost base of the individual securities comprising each New Security on a reasonable basis. One possible method of apportionment is on the basis of the relative net assets of the stapled entities. That information can be obtained from the fi nancial statements of AIX.

3.1.3 Expiration or Lapse of Entitlements

If a Securityholder does not exercise their Entitlements to acquire New Securities under the Entitlement Offer, and instead allows those rights to lapse or expire, that Securityholder will not receive any consideration as a result of the expiration or lapse of their Entitlements, and on this basis, there should not be any CGT implications for the Securityholder.[.]

3.1.4 Holding and Disposing of New Securities

The New Securities acquired under the Entitlement Offer, will be treated in the same way as Existing Securities when determining the tax consequences arising from holding or disposing of those securities, other than the acquisition date for CGT purposes, which will be the date of exercising the Entitlement.

3.2 GST

The issue of Entitlements and New Securities is not subject to GST.

Any information or representation not contained in this Retail Information Booklet may not be relied on as having been authorised by AIX in connection with the Retail Entitlement Offer.

4.7 No cooling-off rights

Cooling-off rights do not apply to a subscription for New Securities under the Entitlement Offer.

4.8 Foreign jurisdictions - restrictions and limitations

No action has been taken to register the New Securities or otherwise permit an offering of New Securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand. This Retail Information Booklet and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

The distribution of this Retail Information Booklet and/or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law. If you come into possession of this Retail Information Booklet and/or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form you should observe any such restrictions and should seek your own advice on those restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may contravene applicable securities laws.

4.9 Underwriting arrangements and fees

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by the Underwriters. The Underwriting Agreement is subject to customary termination events, such as:

  • the S&P ASX 200 closes prior to the date of settlement of the institutional component of the offer (expected to be 3 July 2009) 10% or more below its level on 17 June 2009;

  • certain regulatory acts are taken or approvals refused;

  • there is a material adverse change in the fi nancial position, results, operations or prospects of AIX; and

  • certain other events relating to the Entitlement Offer or AIX.

If terminated, the Entitlement Offer may not proceed in its entirety .

AIX and the Underwriters reserve the right, at any time, to appoint sub-underwriters in respect of any part of the Entitlement Offer.

The Underwriters are entitled to be paid fees and expenses under the Underwriting Agreement, and receive certain indemnities. The Underwriters may appoint sub-underwriters, who may each be paid a fee determined by negotiation with the relevant subunderwriter. Any sub-underwriter’s fees in respect of the Entitlement Offer would be paid by the Underwriters out of the fees payable to the Underwriters.

No additional fees are payable to or by the Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited and Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust in relation to the Entitlement Offer.

4.10 Indemnities

Subject to certain exceptions, AIX has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters, their affi liates, related bodies corporate, directors, offi cers, employees, partners, agents and advisers (each an Indemnifi ed Party ) from and against all losses incurred by, or claims made against, an Indemnifi ed Party in connection with the offer and appointment of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement.

4.11 ASX waivers

In order to conduct the Entitlement Offer, AIX has sought certain waivers from the ASX Listing Rules. ASX has granted AIX waivers from ASX Listing Rules 3.20, 7.1, 7.40 and 10.11 subject to a number of conditions including that:

  • all Securityholders are offered their pro-rata share of the Entitlement Offer unless ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1 would permit the Securityholder to be excluded from the Entitlement Offer;

11

==> picture [596 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • New Securities are offered under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and Retail Entitlement Offer at the same price and same ratio; and

  • related parties do not participate beyond their pro-rata share other than under bona fi de underwriting arrangements that are disclosed in this Retail Information Booklet. There is no such underwriting arrangement.

The waivers also allow AIX to ignore, for the purposes of determining those entitled to receive Entitlements transactions occurring after the announcement of the trading halt in Securities (other than registrations of ITS (Integrated Trading System) transactions which were effected before the announcement) ( post ex-date transactions ). Transactions ignored under this provision are to be ignored in determining holders and registered holders, and holdings and registered holdings, of Existing Securities as at the Record Date, and references to such holders, registered holders, holdings and registered holdings are to be read accordingly. Therefore, if you have acquired Securities in a post ex-date transaction you will not be entitled to receive an Entitlement in respect of those Securities.

4.12 ASIC relief

ASIC has granted a modifi cation of section 1019A of the Corporations Act, to exempt the Entitlement Offer from the cooling-off requirements imposed by that subsection.

4.13 Consents

None of the parties referred to in the Directory of this Retail Information Booklet (other than AIX), has made or authorised the making of any statement that is included in this Retail Information Booklet or any statement on which a statement in this Retail Information Booklet is based.

To the maximum extent permitted by law each of these parties expressly disclaims and takes no responsibility for any statements in or omissions from this Retail Information Booklet other than references to its name or a statement or report included in this Retail Information Booklet with the consent of that party as specifi ed above.

18 June 2009
Capital Initiatives
The Board of Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited together with Hastings Funds Management Limited as
Manager and Responsible Entity of the Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust (together “AIX”) today
announced a series of capital initiatives, comprising an underwritten accelerated non-renounceable pro-rata
entitlement offer (the “Offer”) and the establishment of a new debt facility (“New Standby Debt Facility”). The
capital initiatives will reduce overall gearing and significantly enhance AIX’s financial flexibility, with the
repayment of all currently drawn corporate level debt.
The net proceeds from the Offer will be used to fully repay and cancel the Multi Option Facility (“MOF”) which
is drawn to $159.5 million as at the date of this announcement and fund organic growth initiatives in the
existing Australian airport portfolio.
The capital initiatives consist of:
� A 1 for 2 fully underwritten accelerated non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to raise $211 million
at an offer price of $1.10 per security (the “Offer Price”). The underwriters are Credit Suisse (Australia)
Limited and Deutsche Bank AG, Sydney branch
� Repayment and cancellation of the existing MOF
� A credit approved $30 million New Standby Debt Facility with a 2-year term (undrawn)
� Alignment of distribution policy with cash flows received from portfolio assets
The impact of these capital initiatives is expected to reduce AIX’s fund weighted average pro-forma gearing
to 34.4% from 43.7%, based on net debt and enterprise value as at 31 December 2008.
Mr Jeff Pollock, Chief Executive Officer of AIX, said, “the capital initiatives announced today are a complete
fund level capital solution and will provide a platform for further growth.”
Estimated Distribution and Distribution Guidance
AIX today announced an estimated distribution of 5.0 cents per security for the 6-months ending 30 June
2009, bringing the total distribution for FY09 to 13.0 cents per security. AIX’s distribution policy is to pay
distributions which are broadly aligned to cash flows received from portfolio assets and to ensure a prudent
capital structure for the future, AIX provides distribution guidance for FY10 of 10.0 cents per security.
As a result of the current capital initiatives, AIX’s distribution reinvestment plan has been suspended until
further notice.
Equity Raising
The equity raising comprises a 1 for 2 accelerated non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer at an Offer
Price of $1.10 per security. The offer has been fully underwritten to raise approximately $211 million.
Under the Offer, eligible securityholders are invited to subscribe for 1 new AIX security for each 2 existing
securities held at the Record Date, at an Offer Price of $1.10 per security. The Record Date for the Offer will
be 7.00pm on Tuesday 23 June 2009 (AEST). The Institutional Entitlement Offer will be conducted on
Thursday 18 June and Friday 19 June 2009. AIX will remain in a trading halt until completion of the
Institutional Entitlement Offer.

The Retail Entitlement Offer will open on Friday 26 June 2009 and close at 5.00pm on Friday 10 July 2009 (AEST). The Entitlements are non-renounceable and will not be tradeable on the ASX or be otherwise transferable. Securityholders who do not take up their full Entitlement will not receive any value in respect of Entitlements they do not take up. Securityholders who are not eligible to receive Entitlements will not receive any value in respect of Entitlements they would have received had they been eligible.

New Securities will rank equally with existing securities from allotment. New Securities will not be eligible for the FY09 final distribution.

Further details of the Offer are included in the Appendix to this announcement.

New Corporate Debt Facility

AIX is in the final stages of establishing an undrawn $30 million New Standby Debt Facility which will have a 2-year term from the date of finalisation. The New Standby Debt Facility is subject to finalisation of documentation with a commitment letter having been received on 17 June 2009.

Portfolio Update

Passenger Growth

Whilst economic conditions have been difficult, the performance of the Australian airport assets has been encouraging. European airport assets held through HTAC have experienced greater relative passenger declines in line with the economic environment in the region.

Perth Airport Refinancing
Perth Airport is well advanced in the process of refinancing existing debt facilities maturing in November
2009 as well as securing additional debt to fund its planned capital expenditure program over the next three
years.
As part of the Perth Airport refinancing, AIX expects to invest up to $42.2 million of additional capital into
Perth Airport over three years.

HTAC’s European airport interests have long term amortising debt facilities in place.
Sydney Airport has had three rights issues during the financial year. AIX’s pro-rata share (via HTAC) was:
� Rights Issue #1: $6.5 million funded from AIX cash on hand
� Rights Issue #2: $6.8 million funded from new HTAC debt facility
� Rights Issue #3: $22.6 million intended to be funded from a new HTAC debt facility
For Rights Issue #3 HTAC secured an option enabling it to defer its decision to fund until 23 June. HTAC has
negotiated a credit approved amortising debt facility to fund its subscription for Rights Issue #3. However
documentation risk still exists.
If HTAC cannot or elects not to take up its rights under Rights Issue #3, the value of AIX’s interest in Sydney
Airport will be diluted by $18.8 million based on the 31 December 2008 independent valuation, which valued
the AIX portfolio at $1,411.8 million.
Assuming HTAC takes up its rights under Rights Issue #3, a portion of planned distributions from HTAC to
AIX will then be used to amortise the debt facilities over four years. AIX’s share of HTAC’s total debt
amortisation is:
FY09 ($m) FY10 ($m) FY11 ($m) FY12 ($m)
6.5 7.4 9.2 3.3
Note: Assumed�exchange�rate�of�A$1.00�to�€0.60.�
Queensland Airports Limited
QAL is currently in the process of refinancing an existing debt facility maturing in April 2010.
QAL is considering a capital return of $14.7 million to AIX for FY09. If QAL elects to make this capital return,
AIX is likely to reinvest this capital in QAL as a prudent capital management measure to assist with the
refinancing.
This reinvestment would result in AIX receiving a net cash receipt of $9.5 million from QAL in FY09.
Other Assets
APAC successfully refinanced $300 million of maturing debt facilities in FY09.
NT Airports successfully refinanced $204 million of maturing debt facilities in FY09 and successfully
increased the facility limit by an additional $100 million to fund organic growth.
Port of Portland is currently in the process of refinancing $73 million of maturing debt facilities, with
refinancing to be completed by 30 September 2009. AIX expects a modest capital contribution (~$5 million)
may be required as part of this refinancing.
The are no other near-term refinancing or capital investment requirements for other assets within AIX’s asset
portfolio.

As part of this process, AIX intends to explore the potential sale of its interest in APAC (the owner of Melbourne Airport and Launceston Airport). Informal discussions are taking place with interested parties on the basis that AIX will not divest at below the asset’s independent valuation. Any proceeds from any value realisation initiatives may be applied to organic portfolio growth or acquisitions in the core Australian airport sector. For example, QAL is considering the potential to acquire a 50.1% interest in Cairns and Mackay Airports, which would require a capital injection from QAL shareholders. Further information in relation to the Offer is contained in an accompanying investor presentation.

Appendix

Institutional Entitlement Offer

The Institutional Entitlement Offer is being conducted over Thursday 18 June 2009 and Friday 19 June 2009.

Over the Institutional Entitlement Offer period, eligible institutional securityholders will be invited to participate in the Institutional Offer at the Offer Price. Eligible institutional securityholders can choose to take up their Entitlement in whole, in part or not at all. Eligible institutional securityholders will receive not less than their Entitlement under the Institutional Entitlement Offer if they wish to take up such New Securities at the Offer Price. Eligible institutional securityholders who do not confirm their demand at the Offer Price by the close of the Institutional Entitlement Offer will be deemed to have renounced their Entitlement and will not receive any value in respect of their Entitlement.

New Securities equal in number to those attributable to such Entitlements not taken up by eligible institutional securityholders at the Offer Price, together with New Securities attributable to Entitlements which would otherwise have been offered to ineligible institutional securityholders if they had been eligible to participate in the Institutional Offer, will also be offered for subscription to eligible institutional securityholders and selected institutional investors through a volume bookbuild process over the Institutional Entitlement Offer period at the Offer Price.

All participants under the Institutional Entitlement Offer will pay the same price for their New Securities, being the Offer Price.

Retail Entitlement Offer

Eligible retail securityholders in Australia and New Zealand will be invited to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer on the same terms as the Institutional Entitlement Offer. The Retail Entitlement Offer will open on 26 June 2009 and close at 5.00pm (AEST) on 10 July 2009.

Full details of the Retail Entitlement Offer will be set out in the Retail Booklet. Eligible retail securityholders who wish to acquire New Securities under the Retail Entitlement Offer will need to complete their personalised entitlement and acceptance form that will be mailed to them accompanying a copy of the Retail Booklet.

Stock lending and other transactions

Eligible securityholders will be entitled to apply under the Offer for 1 New Security for each existing 2 AIX securities held as at the Record Date. AIX has been granted a waiver by ASX so that, in determining Entitlements for the Institutional Entitlement Offer or the Retail Entitlement Offer, it may ignore any changes in securityholdings that occur after the trading halt preceding the announcement of the Offer (other than registrations of transactions that were effected through ITS before commencement of the trading halt).

Accordingly, a person who is a registered AIX securityholder at the Record Date as a result of a dealing after the announcement of the trading halt preceding the announcement of the Offer (other than the registration of a transaction effected through ITS before that announcement) may not be entitled to receive an Entitlement under the Offer.

In the event that a securityholder has existing securities out on loan at the Record Date, the borrower will be regarded as the securityholder for the purposes of determining the Entitlement (provided that those borrowed securities have not been on-sold).

Perth Airport

  • Perth Airport is well advanced in the process of refinancing existing debt facilities maturing in November 2009, as well as securing additional debt to fund its planned capital expenditure program over the next three years

  • As part of the Perth Airport refinancing, AIX expects to invest up to $42.2 million of additional capital into Perth Airport over three years

Queensland Airports Limited

  • QAL is currently in the process of refinancing an existing debt facility maturing in April 2010

  • QAL is considering a capital return of $14.7 million to AIX for FY09. If QAL elects to make this capital return, AIX is likely to reinvest this capital in QAL as a prudent capital management measure to assist with QAL’s refinancing

  • � This reinvestment would result in AIX receiving a net cash receipt of $9.5 million from QAL in FY09 NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS 14

HOCHTIEF AirPort Capital

  • European airports have long-term amortising debt facilities in place

  • • Sydney Airport has had three rights issues during the financial year. AIX’s pro-rata share (via HTAC) was: � Rights Issue #1: $6.5 million funded from AIX cash on hand � Rights Issue #2: $6.8 million funded from new HTAC debt facility � Rights Issue #3: $22.6 million intended to be funded from a new HTAC debt facility

  • • For Rights Issue #3 HTAC secured an option enabling it to defer its decision to fund until 23 June 2009 • HTAC has negotiated a credit approved amortising debt facility to fund its subscription for Rights Issue #3. However, documentation risk still exists

  • • If HTAC cannot or elects not to take up its rights under Rights Issue #3, the value of AIX’s interest in Sydney Airport will be diluted by $18.8 million based on the 31 December 2008 independent valuation, which valued the AIX portfolio at $1,411.8 million

  • • Assuming HTAC takes up its rights under Rights Issue #3, a portion of planned distributions from HTAC to AIX will then be used to amortise the debt facilities over four years. AIX’s share of HTAC’s total debt amortisation[(1)] is: FY09 ($m) FY10 ($m) FY11 ($m) FY12 ($m) 6.5 7.4 9.2 3.3

  • AIX intends to explore the potential sale of its interest in APAC

  • Informal discussions are taking place with interested parties on the basis that AIX will not divest below independent valuation

  • Any proceeds would be expected to be applied to value enhancing opportunities in the core Australian airport sector

  • For example, QAL is considering the potential acquisition of a 50.1% interest in Cairns and Mackay Airports, which would require a capital injection from QAL shareholders

Distribution Guidance

  • Having regard to the financing requirements of the portfolio assets and their projected cash flows, and consistent with AIX’s actions to strengthen its balance sheet and maintain financial flexibility

  • AIX will declare a FY09 final distribution of 5.0 cents per security to be paid on 31 August 2009, bringing total distributions for FY09 to 13.0 cents per security (FY08: 16.5 cents per security)

  • Distributions per security for FY10 are expected to be 10.0 cents per security, consistent with a policy of declaring distributions that are broadly aligned to cash flows received from portfolio assets net of fund level expenses

  • As a result of the current capital initiatives, AIX’s distribution reinvestment plan has been suspended until further notice

  • The Board will actively assess the level of distributions going forward taking into account the current and projected cash position, capital expenditure requirements of portfolio assets and business and economic conditions generally

Key Risks
This section discusses some of the key risks associated with an investment in AIX. Before investing in AIX securities, you should consider whether this
investment is suitable for you. Potential investors should consider publicly available information on AIX (such as that available on the websites of AIX and ASX),
carefully consider their personal circumstances and consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser before making an investment
decision.
Introduction
AIX’s financial performance, distributions and the market price of AIX securities may be adversely affected by numerous risk factors. These risks include, but are
not limited to, the risks set out in this section.
1. General risks
1.1. The future price of AIX’s securities is subject to uncertainty of equity market conditions.
Local and international stock markets may fall as a result of prevailing economic conditions, investor sentiment and interest rates. As a consequence, the market
price of New Securities may not fully reflect AIX’s underlying net asset value. The value of an investment in AIX could decrease as well as increase and
Securityholders may receive less than their amounts invested.
1.2. General economic conditions could materially impact AIX’s financial performance and the performance of its securities.
General economic conditions are driven by numerous events, such as interest rates, unemployment levels and international events (eg. the potential of a swine
flu pandemic). Depressed economic conditions may result in reduced investor demand for securities, which may in turn reduce their market price.
An investment in AIX should be regarded as speculative and none of AIX, Hastings, any of the directors of AIFL or Hastings, or any other party associated with
the preparation of this document guarantees that any specific objectives of AIX will be achieved, or that any particular performance of AIX or the securities will be
achieved.
2. Risks specific to an investment in AIX
2.1. The valuation of AIX’s assets and in turn its reported financial performance are sensitive to valuation assumptions, which fluctuate.
AIX’s portfolio consists of unlisted assets. These assets are valued every six months by the independent valuer, KPMG Corporate Finance. The valuations are
sensitive to the choice of discount rate used, methodology adopted and assumptions made.
The valuation of AIX’s assets, and as a consequence, its reported results, will be susceptible to movements in comparable discount rates, or other inputs adopted
by AIX’s valuer, eg. inflation assumptions, which fluctuate.
2.2. The illiquidity of AIX’s investments may impact their realisable value.
AIX may continue to invest in assets that are not listed on a stock exchange or for which there may only be a limited number of potential investors. As a
consequence the realisable value of an asset may be less than its reported value and realisation of the value may be subject to timing constraints.

Key Risks (cont’d)
2.3. Distributions received by AIX from investments are uncertain.
AIX receives returns on its investments via cash distributions (both income and capital) and asset revaluations. To the extent that cash distributions from assets
are not received, returns to Securityholders may be impacted.
2.4. Changes in interest rates may affect the financial performance of AIX’s investments.
AIX may from time to time borrow to fund an acquisition. All of the entities in which AIX invests have borrowings which may represent a large proportion of their
total assets.
Businesses that borrow money are potentially exposed to adverse interest rate movements that may increase the costs and financial risk inherent in those
businesses. Whilst this risk may be reduced through interest rate hedging, such as interest rate swaps or other mechanisms, there is sometimes residual
exposure. Movements in interest rates may affect the appropriate discount rate to be used to value investments.
Additionally, changes in interest rates may restrict the ability of the entities in which AIX invests to make cash distributions to AIX where lending covenants place
restrictions on these distributions.
2.5. Loss of licences or permits may impact the ability of the businesses in which AIX invests to operate.
There is a risk that an investment does not have, or might not obtain, licences and permits necessary for its operation. Permits or special rulings may be required
on taxation, financial and regulatory related issues. Licences and permits have to be maintained over the investment’s life. There is a risk that if the appropriate
licences and permits are not maintained, operation of the asset may be adversely impacted which may in turn impact its value and returns to AIX. There is also a
risk that concessions to operate assets may terminate and may not be received.
2.6. Changes in tax rules may impact the value of AIX’s securities.
The tax rules or their interpretation in relation to an investment in AIX may change. In particular, both the level and basis of taxation may change. In addition, an
investment in AIX may involve tax considerations which may differ for each Securityholder. Each prospective Securityholder is encouraged to seek professional
tax advice in connection with any investment in AIX.
2.7. AIX has a reduced level of control over some of its investments since it only owns minority stakes.
Most of AIX’s investments are minority stakes. While AIX is represented on the board of most investments, the day-to-day operations of those investments are
not managed by AIX.
The governing documents for some of the investments provide that key matters and decisions require the agreement of the other co-investors. AIX may be
unable to reach agreement with other co-investors concerning these matters and any disagreements may affect the ability of the investments to function properly
or distribute cash to shareholders. Typically, AIX’s arrangement with its co-investors may require AIX to make an additional equity contribution in the investment or to provide additional financing. Various provisions contained within the governing documents for the investments restrict AIX ’ s ability to sell or transfer its
interest.

Key Risks (cont’d)
2.8. Reliance on the Manager
Securityholders will have no control over the day-to-day operations, including investment decisions, of AIX. Securityholders must rely entirely on Hastings Funds
Management Limited to advise on the conduct and affairs of AIX. Securityholders must rely on the judgment of Hastings Funds Management Limited, their
delegates and, in particular, on the judgment of their respective principals, officers and employees. AIX's success depends in large part on the performance of
Hastings Funds Management Limited. The loss of a key principal or officer or any personnel by Hastings Funds Management Limited could have an adverse
effect on AIX.
2.9. Potential for Conflict of Interest
Hastings Funds Management Limited manages a large number of entities operating in a broad range of businesses. Although processes exist for actively
managing any conflicts of interest between AIX and other funds managed by HFML or between HFML and AIX or its investors, there is a risk that the resolution
of such conflicts may lead to outcomes which are disadvantageous to AIX and its investors.
3. Risks associated with AIX’s investment in airports
3.1. AIX’s investments are dependent upon the number of passengers using airports.
The key drivers of airport revenues are passenger traffic, the number of aircraft movements and the size of aircraft. The number of passengers using airports
may be affected by a number of factors including general economic conditions, competition from other airports, competition from other types of transport,
competition between airlines, competition from other destinations, the price of airline tickets, quality of surface transport access, currency exchange rates, mix of
domestic and international passengers, sovereign and political risk and concerns arising from diseases such as swine flu. Aeronautical revenue is generated
through charges levied for the use of airport infrastructure, with charges typically levied on the basis of passenger volumes. Both aeronautical revenue and retail
and other revenue is therefore dependent on the number of passengers using the airport.
3.2. Developments in the aviation industry may affect AIX’s investments’ revenues.
Any actions by airlines which affect passenger traffic numbers could adversely affect the financial performance of airports. For example, if the price of airline
seats is increased and the number of seats sold is reduced, then any resulting fall in total passenger traffic numbers would be expected to have an adverse effect
on airport revenues. The airline industry is highly competitive and airlines are subject to high levels of commercial and financial risks increasing the risk that an
airline may fail. When this occurs, passenger traffic at airports is disrupted in the short term, and potentially reduced over the long term, as lower competition
decreases pressure to improve services and reduce airfares.
3.3. Changes in regulations that apply to AIX’s investments could impact their financial performance.
3.3.1.1. Economic regulation
Although AIX’s Australian airport investments are not subject to aeronautical price regulation (with the exception of regional air services provided by Sydney
Airport), there is a risk that economic regulation could be re-introduced by the Australian Government. This could affect a substantial portion of AIX’s airports’
revenues, for example through the introduction of price caps, or access obligations relating to aeronautical charges.

Key Risks (cont’d)
3.3.1.2. Regulatory and Other Public Policy Changes
For many airports around the world, a substantial proportion of revenue is generated from regulated activities. There is a risk that revenues at these assets could
be adversely affected by increased economic regulation, and/or the application of existing regulations for example, through a reduction in price caps on
aeronautical charges or an increase in the number of services which are subject to regulation. Also, as discussed above, there is also a risk that economic
regulation will be introduced at airports which currently are not regulated. Apart from changes to regulatory pricing, airport revenues could be affected by changes
to government aviation policy, including route licensing, security, immigration, safety, airport development and provision of capacity together with changes in tax,
duty and other regulatory regimes which affect the retail operation of airports.
3.3.1.3. Non-aeronautical Revenues
Non-aeronautical revenues include retailing, car parking and property. Retail revenues are driven by numbers of passengers and their propensity to spend in the
shops provided at the airport. There is a risk that the expected levels of expenditure will not be achieved as a result of passenger profile changes, economic
factors or the reduced competitiveness of the airport retail offering. The main driver of car park revenues is the propensity of passengers and other airport users
to park their cars at the airport. There is a risk that the expected propensity levels will not be achieved as a result of competition from other modes of transport
and lower utilisation rates of the airport car parks. There is a risk that expected revenues will not be achieved as a result of a reduced demand from users.
3.3.1.4. Change of law
There is a risk that European, Australian or state governments will repeal, amend, enact, or promulgate a new law or regulation, or will issue a new interpretation
of the law or regulation which could substantially affect AIX’s airport investments. Governments or regulatory bodies could invoke policies or charges which affect
the competitiveness of domestic or international air transport (for example by imposing or increasing fuel taxes, emissions charges, or consumption taxes, or by
altering arrangements governing access to air routes or airport facilities). The performance of airport investments may also be affected by court decisions and
actions of government agencies.
3.4. AIX’s investments may be affected by political, security and civil disturbance.
Passenger traffic may be affected by sovereign or political risk anywhere in the world. Major disturbances such as wars, riots, strikes, blockades and acts of
terrorism have the potential to adversely affect passenger traffic. International global tensions or the commencement of military action regionally or internationally
can have a material impact on the number of passengers passing through airports.
Any terrorist attacks, or outbreak of associated military or responsive action, could also have a materially adverse impact on the passenger numbers flowing
through to the earnings of AIX’s airport investments. A major security incident at these or other European and Australian major international airports, or any
event which raises safety or security concerns about airports, may have an adverse effect on the revenues of airports in which AIX has invested and may also
increase security expenses.

Key Risks (cont’d)
3.5. The documents that govern AIX’s investments are complex and potentially subject to differing interpretation.
Airport investments are usually governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts. As a result, the risk of dispute over the interpretation or
enforceability of the documentation may be higher than for the other equity investments. For example, a difference of opinion exists among the shareholders of
APAC as to the meaning and extent of provisions in the shareholders agreement which purport to restrict investment by shareholders in competing Australian
airport assets.
3.6. The environmental impact of airports may limit the achievement of the full potential of airport investments.
Airports can have a substantial environmental impact. Land acquisition to build or expand an airport may be difficult. Community and environmental groups may
raise protests, which may be successful in attracting publicity and persuading governments to take action. Airports may attract opposition from environmental
groups in relation to issues such as air pollution, noise pollution, poor visual impact and effects on flora and fauna. There is a risk that affected parties may
attempt to limit the activities of an airport, its hours of operation or its impact on the surrounding community. Changes in environmental and planning regulations
(eg. in relation to noise control, hours of operation, night curfews and the ability to develop and extend surface access to airports) may prevent or restrict
development of airport assets and result in increased capital and operational expenses.
3.7. Legislative foreign ownership restrictions may limit trading in AIX securities or restrict AIX’s ability to sell or transfer its interest in investments.
Foreign ownership of Australian airports is restricted in certain circumstances by the Airports Act. Under the Airports Act, if an “unacceptable foreign-ownership
situation” exists, a court may make an order for the disposal of shares in entities having interests in the airport. At present, the ownership structures of airports in
which AIX has invested are not “unacceptable”. Relevantly for AIX and other trustee investors, the Airports Act disregards certain types of interests including
certain situations where a registered holder of shares is not the beneficial interest holder in determining whether entities are “foreign”. There is, however, a risk
that acquisitions of shares in airport companies or their investors by other parties in the future could lead to an “unacceptable foreign-ownership situation” in
respect of one or more airports in which AIX has invested.
4. Risks associated with AIX’s investment in ports
The ports in which AIX invests typically have significant levels of fixed costs, and therefore can be highly susceptible to decreases in revenue. Revenue is
primarily derived from throughput at the ports. Throughput can be affected by wider economic conditions which influence demand for bulk commodities, and also
by specific matters such as competition, regulation, and capacity constraints.
5. Other risks
5.1. Non-exhaustive list
The above list of risk factors should not be taken to be exhaustive of the risks faced by AIX or by securityholders. The above factors, and other risks not
specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of AIX and the value of securities. Therefore, no assurances or
guarantees of future profitability, distributions, payment of dividends, return of capital or performance of AIX or its securities are provided.

Key Risks (cont’d) 5.2. Reliance on a limited number of large customers Airport assets derive a large proportion of their income from the provision of services to a small number of large customers. AIX is exposed to the risk that customers may be unable to pay their obligations to AIX and its investments, which could have a material adverse effect on AIX’s business, financial condition, earnings and results of operations.

5.3. Foreign exchange risk AIX's investment in HTAC, which comprised 27.8% of AIX's portfolio value as at 31 December 2008, is denominated in a foreign currency (Euros). As a result, AIX is exposed to movements in the Euro when compared to the Australian dollar. The current policy of AIX is not to enter into derivatives or other currency cover to hedge the foreign exchange risk of its investment in HTAC and distributions from HTAC to AIX.
