Implementation of transfer of management arrangements
An Extraordinary General Meeting of Babcock & Brown Public Partnerships Limited
("the Company") was held on 18 May 2009, at which various shareholder
resolutions were passed approving: (a) the transfer of the Company's investment
advisory and management arrangements from the Babcock & Brown Group to the Amber
Infrastructure Group; and (b) the change of the Company's name to "International
Public Partnerships Limited".
The Company is now pleased to advise that all procedural steps required to
effect the implementation of the transfer of the management arrangements have
been finalised. Accordingly, the management of the Company's operations have now
been transferred to the Amber Infrastructure Group, effective as of today.
The change of Company name to "International Public Partnerships Limited" (LSE
ticker code: INPP) is expected to become effective by the end of the week
following the filing of the necessary documentation with the Guernsey
authorities. A further RNS announcement will be issued at that time.
Keith Dorrian, Chairman of the Company commented:
"I am delighted to confirm that all regulatory approvals and consents have now
been secured. This is a great result for shareholders who will continue to
receive the services and benefits of the 45-strong Amber team who have managed
the portfolio since its inception and have managed the Company's operations
following its listing on the London Stock Exchange in November 2006."
Giles Frost, Director of the Company commented:
"The approval for Amber to take over the management contract of the Company
ensures full continuity for all existing projects in the INPP portfolio and
access to new projects identified and originated by Amber. The Amber team has
one of the best track records in the industry in developing and managing PPP
projects with a value in excess of GBP8 billion."

Notes to Editors:
Babcock & Brown Public Partnerships (to be renamed International Public
Partnerships Limited) is a closed end investment company that invests in
infrastructure assets in the UK, Europe and internationally, particularly those
with a public or social character such as those developed with public bodies
under private finance initiative (PFI) or public private partnership (PPP)
procurement.
The portfolio consists of 50 PPP/PFI projects with more than 99% of revenues
backed by Governments. There is diversification geographically as well as across
several PPP/PFI sectors, including roads and tunnels, railways, schools,
courthouses, police and custodial facilities, government offices and health
facilities. Average remaining concession life of projects in the portfolio is 25
years, against a weighted average debt tenor of 24 years, ensuring that project
debt is largely matched to concession life.
Amber Infrastructure Group has been responsible for the development and
management of the majority of these assets and will continue to manage them for
the benefit of BBPP shareholders.
The company listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in November
2006, and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 and FTSE AllShare.
