FTAI INFRASTRUCTURE INC.
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 Aviation Ltd. (“FTAI,” formerly Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC), a Cayman Islands exempted company. In connection with the completion of the spin-off from FTAI, on August 1, 2022, we converted into FTAI Infrastructure Inc., a Delaware corporation, and acquired all of the material assets and investments that comprised FTAI’s infrastructure business. FTAI is a Nasdaq-listed company that is externally managed by FIG LLC (our “Manager”).
Our operations consist of four primary business lines: (i) Railroad, (ii) Ports and Terminals, (iii) Power and Gas and (iv) Sustainability and Energy Transition. Our Railroads business primarily invests in and operates short line and regional railroads in North America. Our Ports and Terminals business, consisting of our Jefferson Terminal and Repauno segments, 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. Our Power and Gas business develops and operate facilities, such as a 485 megawatt power plant at our Long Ridge terminal in Ohio through our equity method investment, that leverage the property’s location and key attributes to generate incremental value. OurvalueOur Sustainability and 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.
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.
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.
Our Manager
We are externally managed by our Manager, an affiliate of Fortress, a leading global investment management firm, which has a dedicated team of experienced professionals focused on the acquisition of infrastructure assets since 2002.
Our management agreement with our Manager (the “Management Agreement”) requires our Manager provide a management team and other professionals who are responsible for implementing our business strategy and performing certain services for us, subject to oversight by our board of directors.
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.
General
Nasdaq Global Select Market lists our Common Stock under the trading symbol “FIP.”
We are incorporated in Delaware and our principal executive offices are located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 45th Floor, New York, New York, 10105. Our telephone number is (212) 798-6100.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE OFFERINGS UNDER THE PLAN
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock, which may be offered and sold to our Manager and its affiliates; the employees, officers, directors, consultants, service providers and advisors of our Manager and its affiliates who perform services for us; our employees, officers, directors, consultants, service providers and advisors; and other eligible participants in the Plan, in each case consistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the case may be.
The Plan was adopted by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) on August 1, 2022. The Plan will terminate on August 1, 2032, except that awards granted before that time will remain outstanding and will vest and become exercisable in accordance with their terms. No awards other than tandem options (as described below) may be granted under the Plan after the expiration of the term.
The Plan is not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
The Company will provide this prospectus to all persons (including our Manager and its affiliates) who have been or are selected to participate in the Plan. This prospectus contains only a summary of the more significant provisions of the Plan. To make this summary as clear and understandable as possible, some of the rules of the Plan are described in abbreviated form, and not all the detailed provisions of the Plan are described herein. The rights and benefits under the Plan will be governed by the provisions of the Plan, as well as applicable laws and regulations, and not by this prospectus. If there is any conflict between this prospectus and the text of the Plan, the text of the Plan will control. When making important decisions based upon the provisions of the Plan, you should consult the Plan document itself. The Plan is readily available at no charge from the Company, by contacting the Company’s Secretary at (212) 798-6100.
No one can predict the future value of any stock, and investment in a single security is inherently subject to greater risk than diversified investments. You should carefully and periodically evaluate your investments in our common stock to ensure that the amount of your investment is appropriate for your individual financial situation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUMMARY OF PLAN TERMS
Summary of the Plan Terms
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan, which is attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on August 1, 2022.
Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of the Plan is to reinforce the long-term commitment to the Company’s success of certain individuals who are or will be responsible for such success; to facilitate the ownership of the Company’s stock by such individuals, thereby reinforcing the identity of their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders; to assist the Company in attracting and retaining individuals with experience and ability; to compensate our Manager for its successful efforts in raising capital for the Company and to provide performance-based compensation in order to provide incentive to our Manager to enhance the value of our common stock; and to benefit the Company’s stockholders by encouraging high levels of performance by individuals whose performance is a key element in achieving the Company’s continued success.
Plan Administration
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). As the administrator of the Plan, the Committee has the authority to grant awards under the Plan and to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee also has the authority to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan, any award issued under the Plan and any award agreements relating thereto, and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. In particular, the Committee has the authority to determine the terms and conditions of awards under the Plan, including, without limitation, the exercise price, the number of our shares of common stock subject to awards, the term of the awards and the vesting schedule applicable to awards, and to waive or amend the terms and conditions of outstanding awards. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan are final, conclusive and binding on all persons.
Plan Term
The Plan was adopted by the Board on August 1, 2022 and became effective on said date (the “Effective Date”) and will terminate on August 1, 2032, provided that awards granted before that time will remain outstanding and will vest and become exercisable in accordance with their terms.
Share Reserve; Adjustment
We reserved 30,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the Plan. That number will be increased on the date of any equity issuance by the Company during the term of the Plan by a number of shares of common stock equal to 10% of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued in such equity issuance or (ii) if such equity issuance relates to equity securities other than shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (x) the gross capital raised in an equity issuance of equity securities other than shares of common stock during the term of the Plan (as determined by the Committee), divided by (y) the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of such equity issuance.
Our common stock which may be issued pursuant to an award under the Plan may be treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares or shares acquired on the open market to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Awards may consist of any combination of such shares, or, at our election cash. If any of our shares of common stock subject to an award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if an award otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the participant, such shares will again be available for grants under the Plan. The grant of a Tandem Award (as defined below) will not reduce the number of our shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan. The Company reserves the right to cancel any stock option which has a per-share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the fair market value of an underlying share of common stock as of the date of such cancellation, and any shares of common stock which were subject to such cancelled stock option shall again be available for the issuance of stock options, including issuances to the individual that held the cancelled stock option, irrespective of whether such issuance would be deemed a repricing of such stock option.
3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Upon the occurrence of any event that affects our shares of common stock in such a way that an adjustment of outstanding awards is appropriate to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights under the awards, the Committee will make appropriate equitable adjustments. The Committee may also provide for other substitutions or adjustments in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the cancellation of any outstanding award and payment in cash or other property in exchange thereof, equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares or other property subject to the award over the exercise price, if any.
Types of Awards and Eligible Recipients
The terms of the Plan provide for the grant of options that are not intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, performance awards, tandem awards and other shares-based and non-shares based awards (including restricted stock units), in each case to our Manager and its affiliates, to the employees, officers, directors, consultants, service providers or advisors of our Manager and its affiliates who perform services for us, to our employees, officers, directors, consultants, service providers or advisors, and to such other persons who the Committee selects to be participants in the Plan. Such awards may be granted singularly, in tandem, or in combination with each of the other awards.
Share Options
A share option represents the right to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified price during such specified time as the Committee may determine.
The Committee generally has the power to determine the number of our shares of common stock covered by options, the exercise price of options, at what time or times each option may be exercised and, subject to the provisions of the Plan, the period of time, if any, after retirement, death, disability or other termination of employment during which options may be exercised. Options may become vested and exercisable in installments, and the exercisability of options may be accelerated by the Committee.
We may make loans available to the optionee in connection with the exercise of stock options. Such loans must be evidenced by the delivery of a promissory note and will bear interest and be subject to such other terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the execution by the optionee of a pledge agreement) as the Committee may determine. In any event, such loan amount may not exceed the sum of (x) the exercise price less the par value of our shares of common stock subject to such option then being exercised plus (y) any federal, state or local income taxes attributable to such exercise.
Other Awards
The Committee may also grant SARs in tandem with all or part of, or completely independent of, a grant of options or any other award under the Plan. A SAR issued in tandem with an option may be granted at the time of grant of the related option or at any time during the term of such option. The amount payable in cash and/or our shares of common stock with respect to each SAR will be equal in value to a percentage (including up to 100%) of the amount by which the fair market value per share of our common stock on the exercise date exceeds the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant of the SAR. The applicable percentage will be established by the Committee. The award agreement under which the SAR is granted may state whether the amount payable is to be paid wholly in cash, wholly in our shares of common stock or in any combination of the foregoing, and if the award agreement does not state the manner of payment, the Committee will determine such manner of payment at the time of payment. The amount payable in our shares of common stock, if any, is determined with reference to the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of exercise.
SARs issued in tandem with options shall be exercisable only to the extent that the options to which they relate are exercisable. Upon exercise of the tandem SAR, and to the extent of such exercise, the participant’s underlying option shall automatically terminate. Similarly, upon the exercise of the tandem option, and to the extent of such exercise, the participant’s related SAR will automatically terminate.
The Committee may also grant restricted stock, performance awards, and other share and non-shares-based awards (including restricted stock units) under the Plan. These awards will be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Committee may determine, which may include, without limitation, the achievement of certain performance goals or continued employment with us through a specific period.

Manager Awards
We anticipate that we will grant our Manager or its affiliates options in connection with our equity offerings as compensation for our Manager’s role in raising capital for us. In the event that we offer our equity securities to the public, we intend to simultaneously grant to our Manager or an affiliate of our Manager an option with respect to a number of our shares of common stock equal to up to 10% of (i) the aggregate number of our shares of common stock being issued in such offering at an exercise price per share equal to the offering price per share, as determined by the Committee, or (ii) if such equity issuance relates to equity securities other than shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (x) the gross capital raised in an equity issuance of equity securities other than shares of common stock (as determined by the Committee), divided by (y) the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of such equity issuance, at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of such equity issuance.
The main purpose of these options is to provide transaction-specific compensation to our Manager, in a form that aligns our Manager’s interests with those of our shareholders, for the valuable services it provides in raising capital for us to invest through equity offerings. In addition, the Plan enables our Manager to incentivize its employees who render services to us by making tandem equity awards to them and thus also aligning their interests with those of our stockholders.
In each case, the Plan provides that such options will be fully vested as of the date of grant and exercisable as to 1/30 of the shares subject to the option on the first day of each of the 30 calendar months following the date of the grant. The exercise price of such options may be paid in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Committee. Payment in whole or in part may also be made by the following cashless exercise procedures: (i) by withholding from shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of such option, (ii) in the form of our unrestricted stock already owned by our Manager or its affiliates which have a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate option price of our stock as to which such option shall be exercised or (iii) by means of any other cashless exercise procedure approved by the Committee.
In addition, the Committee has the authority to grant such other awards to our Manager or its affiliates as it deems advisable, provided that no such award may be granted to our Manager or its affiliates in connection with any issuance by us of shares of common stock in excess of 10% of (i) the maximum number of equity securities then being issued or (ii) if such equity issuance relates to equity securities other than shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (x) the gross capital raised in the equity issuance of equity securities other than shares of common stock (as determined by the Committee), divided by (y) the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of such equity issuance.
The Board may also determine to issue options to our Manager or its affiliates that are not subject to the Plan, provided that the number of shares underlying any options granted to our Manager or its affiliates in connection with capital raising efforts would not exceed 10% of the shares sold in such offering and would be subject to Nasdaq rules.
Upon the Manager’s reasonable request, the Company will (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) the securities that may be issued and sold under the Plan or the resale of such securities issued and sold pursuant to the Plan or (ii) enter into a registration rights agreement with the Manager on terms that are mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Tandem Awards
Each of the Committee and our Manager also has the authority under the terms of the Plan to grant awards of tandem options (“Tandem Awards”) to employees of our Manager or its affiliates who act as officers or perform other services for us that correspond on a one-to-one basis with the options granted to our Manager or its affiliates, such that exercise by such employee of the Tandem Awards would result in the corresponding options held by our Manager or its affiliates being cancelled. As a condition to the grant of Tandem Awards, our Manager is required to agree that so long as such Tandem Awards remain outstanding, our Manager will not exercise any options under any designated Manager options that relate to the options outstanding under such Tandem Awards. If any Tandem Awards are forfeited, expire or are cancelled without being exercised, the related options under the designated Manager options will again become exercisable in accordance with their terms. The terms and conditions of any Tandem Awards (e.g., the per-share exercise price, the schedule of vesting, exercisability and delivery, etc.) will be determined by the Committee or our Manager, as the case may be, in its sole discretion and must be included in an award agreement, provided, that the term of such Tandem Awards may not be greater than the term of the designated Manager options to which they relate.
5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As determined by our Manager, in its sole discretion, payment of the exercise price of such Tandem Awards in whole or in part may be made by the following cashless exercise procedures: (i) by withholding from our shares of common stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of such Tandem Award, (ii) in the form of our unrestricted shares of common stock already owned by the holder of such Tandem Award which has a fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate option price of our shares of common stock as to which such Tandem Award shall be exercised or (iii) by means of any other cashless exercise procedure approved by the Committee.
Change in Control or Termination of our Manager’s Services
All options granted to our Manager or its affiliates will become fully vested and exercisable upon a “change in control” (as summarized below) or a termination of our Manager’s services to us for any reason, and any Tandem Awards will be governed by the terms and condition set forth in the applicable award agreements, as determined by the Committee or our Manager, as the case may be.
Definition of Change in Control
For purposes of the Plan, a “change in control” means, in summary: (i) a person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of more than 30% of the Company’s voting power; (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than (A) a merger or consolidation that results in the Company’s voting securities continuing to represent 50% or more of the combined voting power of the surviving entity or its parent or (B) a merger or consolidation affected to implement a recapitalization of the Company in which no person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of the Company’s voting securities representing 30% or more of the Company’s combined voting power; or (iii) shareholder approval of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition of substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Amendment and Termination
The Plan provides that the Board may alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, provided that no amendment that requires shareholder approval in order for the Plan to comply with any rule or regulation deemed applicable by the Committee will be effective without such shareholder approval. In addition, no amendment will affect adversely any of the rights of any holder of an award under the Plan without such holder’s consent.
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards
The rules concerning the federal income tax consequences with respect to awards granted to individuals pursuant to the Plan are highly technical. In addition, the applicable statutory provisions are subject to change and their application may vary in individual circumstances. Therefore, the following is designed to provide a general understanding of the federal income tax consequences for awards granted under the Plan; it does not set forth any state or local income tax or estate tax consequences that may be applicable. A participant should consult its own tax advisor to determine the federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences that may apply in respect to any awards granted under the Plan.
Options
A participant generally will not recognize income upon the grant of an option. Rather, at the time of exercise of such options, the participant will recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock purchased over the exercise price.
Restricted Shares
A participant generally will not be taxed upon the grant of restricted shares, but rather will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time the shares are no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (within the meaning of the Code). A participant’s tax basis in the shares will equal their fair market value at the time the restrictions lapse, and the participant’s holding period for capital gains purposes will begin at that time. Any cash distributions paid on the restricted shares before the restrictions lapse will be taxable to the participant as additional compensation. Under Section 83(b) of the Code, a participant may elect to recognize ordinary income at the time the restricted shares are awarded in an amount equal to their fair market value at that time, notwithstanding the fact that such restricted shares are subject to restrictions and a substantial risk of forfeiture.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If such an election is made, no additional taxable income will be recognized by such participant at the time the restrictions lapse, the participant will have a tax basis in the shares equal to their fair market value on the date of their award, and the participant’s holding period for capital gains purposes will begin at that time.
Other Shares-Based and Non-Shares Based Awards
A participant generally will not be taxed upon the grant of other shares-based and non-shares based awards (including restricted stock units), but rather will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares or other property, or the cash amount, at the time such shares, other property, or cash amount are delivered to the participant. A participant’s tax basis in any shares or other property received will equal their fair market value at the time such shares or other property are received by the participant, and the participant’s holding period for capital gains purposes will begin at that time.
Transactions Under the Plan
The Plan is not qualified under the Code. The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the ERISA.
The Company will provide this prospectus supplement to all persons who are selected to participate in the Plan. This prospectus supplement contains only a summary of the more significant provisions of the Plan. To make this summary as clear and understandable as possible, some of the rules of the Plan are described in abbreviated form, and not all the detailed provisions of the Plan are described herein. The rights and benefits under the Plan will be governed by the provisions of the Plan, as well as applicable laws and regulations, and not by this prospectus supplement. If there is any conflict between this prospectus supplement and the text of the Plan, the text of the Plan will control.

The Plan is readily available at no charge from the Company, by contacting the Company’s Secretary at (212) 798-6100.
No one can predict the future value of any security, and investment in a single security is inherently subject to greater risk than diversified investments.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description of our common stock and provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors are urged to read the exhibits for a complete understanding of our bylaws.
Authorized Capital Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of:
2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share; and
200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
As of November 18, 2022, 99,414,097 outstanding shares of common stock and 300,000 Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. All the outstanding common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Common Stock
No holder of common stock is entitled to preemptive, preferential or similar rights or redemption or conversion rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock. Unless a different majority is required by law or by our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, resolutions to be approved by holders of common stock require approval by a simple majority of votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Except as provided with respect to any other class or series of shares, the holders of our common stock will possess the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can elect all of the directors standing for election, and the holders of the remaining shares are not able to elect any directors.
Subject to any preference rights of holders of any preferred stock that we may issue in the future, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities, subject to any rights of holders of our of our Series A Preferred Stock prior to distribution.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to issue preferred stock and to fix voting powers for each class or series of preferred stock, and to provide that any class or series may be subject to redemption, entitled to receive dividends, entitled to rights upon dissolution, or convertible or exchangeable for shares of any other class or classes of capital stock. The rights with respect to a series or class of preferred stock may be greater than the rights attached to our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of our preferred stock on the rights of holders of our common stock until our board of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock. The effect of issuing preferred stock could include, among other things, one or more of the following:
restricting dividends in respect of our common stock;
diluting the voting power of our common stock or providing that holders of shares of preferred stock have the right to vote on matters as a class;
impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock; or
delaying or preventing a change of control of us.
Description of Series A Preferred Stock
As of November 18, 2022, there were 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.
106

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and all other junior equity securities of the Company, and junior to the Company’s existing or future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company, with respect to payment of dividends, distribution of assets and all other liquidation, winding up, dissolution, dividend and redemption rights.
We expect to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are to be paid at a rate equal to 14.0% per annum subject to increase in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. Specifically, the rate would be increased by 2.0% per annum for any periods during the first two years following closing where the dividend is not paid in cash. Prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date, such dividends will automatically accrue and accumulate on each share of Series A Preferred Stock, whether or not declared and paid, or they may be paid in cash at our discretion. After the second anniversary of the issuance date, we are required to pay such dividends in cash. Failure to pay such dividends would result in a dividend rate equal to at least 18.0% per annum, and a failure to pay cash dividends for 12 monthly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive) following the second anniversary of the issuance date would constitute an Event of Noncompliance. The dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock will increase by 1.0% per annum beginning on the fifth anniversary of the issue date.
The Series A Preferred Stock will not be mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, except upon the occurrence certain Events of Noncompliance (as defined below) or a change of control (each a “Mandatory Redemption Event”).
An “Event of Noncompliance” includes (i) failure to redeem such shares when we are required to do so, (ii) failure to pay cash dividends for 12 monthly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive) following the second anniversary of the issuance date, (iii) an event where any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remaining outstanding on the eighth anniversary of the issuance date, (iv) failure to have a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors at any time on or after December 31, 2022 (subject to the specified cure period), (v) any breach of a material term in the certificate of designations for our Series A Preferred Stock, (vi) certain debt acceleration events, (vii) certain bankruptcy events and (viii) a breach of a restrictive covenant set forth in the certificate of designations for our Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Redemption Event, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Company will be required to redeem all Series A Preferred Stock in cash at a certain redemption price. The redemption price per share of Series A Preferred Stock will be equal to the greater of (x) the stated value of the Series A preferred Stock plus declared, accumulated and unpaid dividends as of such time and (y)the amount of cash that would be required to be paid in respect of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (inclusive of any cash dividends previously paid on such share) such that the return on investment with respect to such share would be equal to 1.5 of initially invested capital. The Series A Preferred Stock may be required to be redeemed in cash without triggering any prepayment obligation on the Notes. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Noncompliance that has not been cured (to the extent curable), (i) the size of the board of directors shall increase to a number sufficient to constitute a majority of the board of directors, (ii) the majority of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate and elect directors to serve as members of the board of directors constituting a majority, and (iii) other than with respect to the election of directors, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will vote with our common stock as a single class (with the number of votes per share determined in accordance with the certificate of designations for our Series A Preferred Stock). Prior to an Event of Noncompliance, the Series A Preferred Stock will not vote with our common stock.
The certificate of designations for the Series A Preferred Stock also contains negative covenants limiting how the Company and certain subsidiaries can act. These covenants, among other things, limit the Company and certain subsidiaries’ ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) issue equity interests of the Company ranking pari passu with, or senior in priority to, the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) issue equity interests of any subsidiary of the Company,(iv) amend or repeal the certificate of incorporation or bylaws in a manner that is adverse to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, (v) pay dividends or make other distributions, (vi) create liens, (vii) incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, (viii) undertake certain prohibited actions with respect to the Management Agreement, (ix) transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries,(x) consummate a change of control without concurrently redeeming the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (xi) enter into transactions with affiliates, (xii) engage in certain prohibited business activities, (xiii) engage in certain intercompany transactions, and (xiv) take actions to cause the Company to cease to be treated as a domestic C corporation for U.S. tax purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Investors’ Rights Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”) with the Investors (as defined in the Investors’ Rights Agreement). The Investors’ Rights Agreement sets forth the Investors’ right to receive certain quarterly and annual financial and other information of the Company. The Investors’ Rights Agreement sets forth a standstill covenant by the Investors, “Key Person” and “Manager Event” consultation rights in favor of the Investors, registration rights in favor of the Investors, restrictions on transfer of shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the Investors and rights of first offer in favor of the Investors with respect to future issuances of preferred equity of the Company and, with respect to certain initial Investors and their affiliates, future debt for borrowed money of the Company or certain intermediate holding companies.
Warrants
The Company has outstanding (i) Series I Warrants entitling the holders thereof to purchase 3,342,566 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to $10.00 per share (as adjusted in accordance with the Warrant Agreement), exercisable until the Expiration Time (as defined below); and (ii) Series II Warrants entitling holders thereof to purchase 3,342,566 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share, exercisable until the Expiration Time. Such number of shares of common stock purchasable pursuant to the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) may be adjusted from time to time to account for stock splits, dividends and similar items and, in the case of the Series I Warrants, for below-market issuances of common equity. The Series II Warrants will participate on an as-converted basis in any dividends with respect to the Company’s shares of common stock. 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.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and our Series A Preferred Stock will be available for future issuance without obtaining stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions, and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control over us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Delaware Business Combination Statute-Section 203
We are organized under Delaware law. Some provisions of Delaware law may delay or prevent a transaction that would cause a change in our control. Our certificate of incorporation provides that Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), as amended, an anti-takeover law, will not apply to us. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction by which that person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a business combination includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior, did own, 15% or more of voting stock.
Ownership Restrictions for Corporation Securities
Our certificate of incorporation imposes certain restrictions on the transfer of the Corporation Securities by holders who are, or who would become as a result of such transfer, direct or indirect holders of more than 4.8% of our Corporation Securities. Such restrictions are in place in order to preserve our net operating loss carryovers within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code. Any acquisition of Corporation Securities that results in a stockholder 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 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.
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.
Other Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that our board shall consist of not fewer than three and not more than nine directors as the board of directors may from time to time determine. Each class of directors are elected for a three-year term of office, but the terms are staggered so that the term of only one class of directors expires at each annual general meeting. We believe that classification of our board of directors helps to assure the continuity and stability of our business strategies and policies as determined by our board of directors. Additionally, there is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. This classified board provision could have the effect of making the replacement of incumbent directors more time consuming and difficult. At least two annual meetings of stockholders, instead of one, are generally required to effect a change in a majority of our board of directors.
The classified board provision could increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions. The staggered terms of directors may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or an attempt to change control of us, even though a tender offer or change in control might be believed by our stockholders to be in their best interest.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that a director may be removed, only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.
In addition, our board of directors has the power to appoint a person as a director to fill a vacancy on our board occurring as a result of the death, removal or resignation of a director, or as a result of an increase in the size of our board of directors.
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, preferred stock may be issued from time to time, and the board of directors is authorized to determine and alter all designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties without limitation. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide our stockholders with the ability to call a special meeting of the stockholders.
Ability of Our Stockholders to Act
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not permit our stockholders to call special stockholders meetings. Special meetings of stockholders may be called by the chairman of our board of directors, if there be one, the chief executive officer, if there be one, or a majority of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors that has been duly designated by the board of directors and whose powers include the authority to call such meetings. Written notice of any special meeting so called shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date of such meeting, unless otherwise required by law.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also prohibit our stockholders from consenting in writing to take any action in lieu of taking such action at a duly called annual or special meeting of our stockholders.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that nominations of persons for election to our board of directors may be made at any annual meeting of our stockholders, or at any special meeting of our stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, (a) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (b) by certain stockholders. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to our Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the
139

TABLE OF CONTENTS

immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 25 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by a stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs and (ii) in the case of a special meeting, not later than the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made, whichever first occurs.
Forum Selection Clause
Our bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is 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, employees or agents 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. Our bylaws also 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.
Moreover, 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 bylaws also provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the foregoing provisions; provided, however, that stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. We recognize that the forum selection clause in our bylaws may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. Additionally, the forum selection clause in our bylaws may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders.
Corporate Opportunity
Under our certificate of incorporation, to the extent permitted by law:
the Fortress Parties and Ares and their affiliates (the “Ares Parties”) have the right to, and have no duty to abstain from, exercising such right to, engage or invest in the same or similar business as us, do business with any of our clients, customers or vendors or employ or otherwise engage any of our officers, directors or employees;
if the Fortress Parties or the Ares Parties, or any of each of their officers, directors or employees acquire knowledge of a potential transaction that could be a corporate opportunity, each has no duty to offer such corporate opportunity to us, our stockholders or affiliates;
we have renounced any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, such corporate opportunities; and
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 the Ares Parties, acquire 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 our director or officer and such person acted in good faith, then such person is deemed to have fully satisfied such person’s fiduciary duty and is not liable to us if any of the Fortress Parties or the Ares Parties pursues or acquires the corporate opportunity or if such person did not present the corporate opportunity to us.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
We may issue depositary receipts representing interests in shares of particular series of preferred stock which are called depositary shares. We will deposit the shares of preferred stock of a series which is the subject of depositary shares with a depositary, which will hold that preferred stock for the benefit of the holders of the depositary shares, in accordance with a deposit agreement between the depositary and us. The holders of depositary shares will be entitled to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate, including dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights, to the extent of their interests in that preferred stock.
While the deposit agreement relating to a particular series of preferred stock may have provisions applicable solely to that series of preferred stock, all deposit agreements relating to preferred stock we issue will include the following provisions:
Dividends and Other Distributions
Each time we pay a cash dividend or make any other type of cash distribution with regard to preferred stock of a series, the depositary will distribute to the holder of record of each depositary share relating to that series of preferred stock an amount equal to the dividend or other distribution per depositary share the depositary receives. If there is a distribution of property other than cash, the depositary either will distribute the property to the holders of depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by each of them, or the depositary will, if we approve, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds to the holders of the depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by them.
Withdrawal of Preferred Stock
A holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive, upon surrender of depositary receipts representing depositary shares, the number of whole or fractional shares of the applicable series of preferred stock, and any money or other property, to which the depositary shares relate.
Redemption of Depositary Shares
Whenever we redeem shares of preferred stock held by a depositary, the depositary will be required to redeem, on the same redemption date, depositary shares constituting, in total, the number of shares of preferred stock held by the depositary which we redeem, subject to the depositary’s receiving the redemption price of those shares of preferred stock. If fewer than all the depositary shares relating to a series are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or by another method we determine to be equitable.
Voting
Any time we send a notice of meeting or other materials relating to a meeting to the holders of a series of preferred stock to which depositary shares relate, we will provide the depositary with sufficient copies of those materials so they can be sent to all holders of record of the applicable depositary shares, and the depositary will send those materials to the holders of record of the depositary shares on the record date for the meeting. The depositary will solicit voting instructions from holders of depositary shares and will vote or not vote the preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate in accordance with those instructions.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holder of each depositary share will be entitled to what the holder of the depositary share would have received if the holder had owned the number of shares (or fraction of a share) of preferred stock which is represented by the depositary share.
Conversion
If shares of a series of preferred stock are convertible into shares of common stock or other of our securities or property, holders of depositary shares relating to that series of preferred stock will, if they surrender depositary receipts representing depositary shares and appropriate instructions to convert them, receive the common stock or other securities or property into which the number of shares (or fractions of shares) of preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate could at the time be converted.
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amendment and Termination of a Deposit Agreement
We and the depositary may amend a deposit agreement, except that an amendment which materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of depositary shares, or would be materially and adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the preferred stock to which they relate, must be approved by holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding depositary shares. No amendment will impair the right of a holder of depositary shares to surrender the depositary receipts evidencing those depositary shares and receive the preferred stock to which they relate, except as required to comply with law. We may terminate a deposit agreement with the consent of holders of a majority of the depositary shares to which it relates. Upon termination of a deposit agreement, the depositary will make the whole or fractional shares of preferred stock to which the depositary shares issued under the deposit agreement relate available to the holders of those depositary shares. A deposit agreement will automatically terminate if:
All outstanding depositary shares to which it relates have been redeemed or converted.
The depositary has made a final distribution to the holders of the depositary shares issued under the deposit agreement upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Miscellaneous
There will be provisions: (1) requiring the depositary to forward to holders of record of depositary shares any reports or communications from us which the depositary receives with respect to the preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate; (2) regarding compensation of the depositary; (3) regarding resignation of the depositary; (4) limiting our liability and the liability of the depositary under the deposit agreement (usually to failure to act in good faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct); and (5) indemnifying the depositary against certain possible liabilities.

information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any.
Exercise of Warrants
Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase for cash the amount of debt or equity securities, at the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the debt or equity securities that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises the warrant for less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our common stock by a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined below). This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations, rulings, and other administrative pronouncements issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
This summary is for general information only and does not purport to discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular investor, or to certain types of investors subject to special tax rules (including financial institutions; insurance companies; broker-dealers; regulated investment companies; partnerships and trusts; expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States; “controlled foreign corporations”; “passive foreign investment companies”; corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; persons who hold our common stock on behalf of other persons as nominees; holders that receive our common stock through the exercise of stock options or otherwise as compensation; persons holding our common stock as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security,” or other integrated investment; tax-exempt organizations; holders who are subject to special exemptions or other special rules under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”); and persons that own (actually or constructively) more than 5% of our common stock). In addition, this summary does not discuss state, local, or foreign tax considerations, nor does it address U.S. federal estate tax considerations.
This summary is limited to Non-U.S. Holders who purchase our common stock for cash pursuant to an offering under this prospectus and assumes that investors will hold our common stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment) and applies only to those time periods after such holders have recognized ordinary income with respect to such shares of common stock, as described above in “—Summary of Plan Terms—United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards. No advance ruling from the IRS has been or will be sought regarding any matter discussed in this information statement. 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 aspects set forth below. For purposes of this discussion under this heading “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders,” a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a holder of our common stock that is neither a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes nor any person that, for such purposes, is any of the following:
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.
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 our 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. Accordingly, partnerships or other pass-through entities that hold shares of our common stock and partners or members in these partnerships or other pass-through entities should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of shares of our common stock.
TheThe U.S. federal income tax treatment of a particular holder depends upon 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 to any holder of our common stock will depend on the holder’s particular tax circumstances. Accordingly, each holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, holding, exchanging, or otherwise disposing of our common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Distributions
Distributions with respect to our common stock will be treated as dividends to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a distribution exceeds our
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

current and accumulated earnings and profits, then subject to the next sentence, the excess will be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of a holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock (reducing that basis accordingly) and thereafter as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such common stock, which would be subject to the tax treatment described below in —Dispositions.“—Dispositions.” Because we are expected to be a U.S. real property holding corporation (as described below), withholding may be required equal to 15% of any distribution to a Non-U.S. Holder that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits if our common stock is not then treated as regularly traded on an established securities market.
Generally, distributions treated as dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to our common stock will be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Distributions treated as dividends that are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of such Non-U.S. Holder) are, however, generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person and (assuming compliance with certain certification requirements) are exempt from the 30% withholding tax. Any such effectively connected distributions received by a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate).
To claim the benefit of an applicable tax treaty or an exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, a Non-U.S. Holder will generally be required to provide a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W8BEN-E (if the holder is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) or Form W-8ECI (for income effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States) or other suitable form. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant tax treaty.
Dispositions
A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax with respect to gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock unless:
the gain is effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of such Non-U.S. Holder);
in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a non-resident alien individual, such Non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of disposition and certain other requirements are met; or
We are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) at any time within the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of such sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition or the period that such Non-U.S. Holder held our common stock and either (a) our common stock is not treated as regularly traded on an established securities market at the time of the sale, or (b) such Non-U.S. Holder owns or owned (actually or constructively) more than 5% of our common stock at any time during the shorter of the two periods mentioned above.
If gain or loss on the disposition of our common stock is effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of such Non-U.S. Holder), such gain or loss will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person, and in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation, such gain may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate). If a Non-U.S. Holder is an individual that is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of disposition and certain other requirements are met, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to a flat income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on any capital gain recognized on the disposition of our common stock, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses.
With respect to the third bullet above, a corporation generally is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests, as defined in the Code and applicable Treasury regulations, equals or exceeds 50% of
19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the aggregate fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we are likely to be a USRPHC. In addition, although we anticipate that our common stock will be treated as “regularly traded on an established securities market,” no assurance can be given
17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that our common stock will continue to be so treated in the future. If the third bullet above applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized on the disposition of our common stock generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person. In addition, if our common stock ceased to be “regularly traded,” the transferee in any disposition would generally be required to withhold 15% of the amount realized on the disposition. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the foregoing rules.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Legislation enacted in 2010 and existing guidance issued thereunder require withholding at a rate of 30% on dividends in respect of our common stock held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution to the extent such interests or accounts are held by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments. Accordingly, the entity through which our common stock is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of our common stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which we or the applicable withholding agent will in turn provide to the Internal Revenue Service. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or future Treasury regulations or other guidance, may modify the foregoing requirements. We will not pay any additional amounts to stockholders in respect of any amounts withheld. Stockholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of the legislation on their investment in our common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
A plan fiduciary considering an investment in the securities should consider, among other things, whether such an investment might constitute or give rise to a prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), the Code or any substantially similar federal, state, local or non-U.S. law. ERISA and the Code impose restrictions on:
employee benefit plans as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that are subject to Title I of ERISA,
plans described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code, including individual retirement accounts and Keogh Plans,
entities whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in such entities which may include, without limitation, certain insurance company general accounts (each of the foregoing, a “Plan”), and
persons who have certain specified relationships to a Plan described as “parties in interest” under ERISA and “disqualified persons” under the Code.
Prohibited Transactions
ERISA imposes certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA. Under ERISA, any person who exercises any authority or control over the management or disposition of a Plan’s assets is considered to be a fiduciary of that Plan. Neither we nor any of our affiliates, officers, employees or agents is undertaking to provide investment advice or any recommendation in a fiduciary capacity in connection with any Plan (including any IRA) fiduciary’s acquisition, holding or disposal of any security issued pursuant hereto. Both ERISA and the Code prohibit certain transactions involving “plan assets” between a Plan and parties in interest or disqualified persons with respect to the Plan. Among other effects, violations of these rules may result in the imposition of an excise tax or penalty.
For example, the direct or indirect purchase of the securities from FTAI Infrastructure, and the acquisition and holding of securities that constitute debt of FTAI Infrastructure or its affiliates, by a Plan with respect to which we are party in interest or a disqualified person could be treated as or give rise to a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code. There are, however, a number of statutory and administrative exemptions potentially that could be applicable to a Plan’s investment in the securities, depending upon various factors, including: (i) the statutory exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code for certain transactions with non-fiduciary service providers; (ii) Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 for certain transactions determined by independent “qualified professional asset managers”; (iii) PTCE 90-1 for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts; (iv) PTCE 91-38 for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds; (v) PTCE 96-23 for certain transactions determined by “in-house asset managers”; and (vi) PTCE 95-60 for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts. There can be no assurances that any of the above-described exemptions, or any other exemption, will apply to all prohibited transactions that might arise with respect any particular Plan’s investment in a security, or that the conditions of any exemption would be satisfied with respect to any transaction involving a Plan’s investment any of the securities.
The Plan Assets Regulation
Under 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “Plan Assets Regulation”), a Plan’s assets may be deemed to include an interest in the underlying assets of an entity if the Plan acquires an “equity interest” in such an entity and no exception under the Plan Asset Regulation is applicable. In that event, the operations of such an entity would be subject to the fiduciary standards of ERISA and could result in prohibited transactions under ERISA and the Code.
Under the Plan Assets Regulation, if a Plan acquires a “publicly-offered security,” the issuer of the security is not deemed to hold plan assets of the investing Plan as a result of such acquisition. A publicly-offered security is a security that:
is freely transferable,
is part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of one another, and
21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

is either:
(i)
part of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or
(ii)
sold to the Plan as part of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the class of securities of which such security is part is registered under the Exchange Act within the requisite time.
Treatment of our Shares as “Publicly-Offered Securities” We believe our common stock currently meet the above criteria and it is anticipated that such shares will continue to meet the criteria of publicly-offered securities.
The applicability of the “publicly-offered securities” exception or another exception under the Plan Assets Regulation to other securities registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part will be discussed in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Governmental, Foreign and Church Plans
Governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), foreign plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) and certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code. Such plans may, however, be subject to other federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws that are substantially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code. In addition, any such plan that is qualified and exempt from taxation under the Code may be subject to additional prohibited transaction rules set forth in Section 503 of the Code. Fiduciaries of such plans should consult with their counsel before purchasing any of the securities.
General Investment Considerations
Fiduciaries of a Plan including, without limitation, an entity whose assets constitute plan assets (which may include, as applicable, an insurance company general account, insurance company separate account or collective investment fund) considering the purchase of the securities should consult with their legal advisors concerning the impact of ERISA and the Code and the potential consequences of making an investment in the securities with respect to their specific circumstances. Each Plan fiduciary should take into account, among other considerations:
whether the Plan’s investment could give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
whether the fiduciary has the authority to make the investment,
the composition of the Plan’s portfolio with respect to diversification by type of asset,
the Plan’s funding objectives,
the tax effects of the investment,
whether our assets would be considered plan assets, and
whether, under the general fiduciary standards of investment prudence and diversification an investment in these shares is appropriate for the Plan taking into account the overall investment policy of the Plan and the composition of the Plan’s investment portfolio.
The discussion of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code contained herein is, of necessity, general and does not purport to be complete. Moreover, the provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code are subject to extensive and continuing administrative and judicial interpretation and review. Therefore, the matters discussed above may be affected by future regulations, rulings, and court decisions, some of which may have retroactive application and effect.
ANY POTENTIAL INVESTOR CONSIDERING AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES THAT IS, OR IS ACTING ON BEHALF OF, A PLAN (OR A GOVERNMENTAL, FOREIGN OR CHURCH PLAN SUBJECT TO LAWS SIMILAR TO ERISA AND/OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE) SHOULD CONSULT WITH ITS OWN LEGAL, TAX AND ERISA ADVISERS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH AN INVESTMENT. EACH SUCH INVESTOR, BY ACQUIRING ANY OF THE SECURITIES REGISTERED ON THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS FORMS A PART SHALL BE DEEMED TO
22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPRESENT THAT (A) ITS ACQUISITION OF SUCH SECURITIES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AND WILL NOT RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR A SIMILAR VIOLATION OF ANY SUBSTANTIAL SIMILAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. LAW, AND (B) IF IT IS A PLAN, NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS WILL BE A FIDUCIARY WITH RESPECT TO THE PLANS INVESTMENT IN ANY SECURITY ISSUED PURSUANT HERETO.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In connection with any offering of common stock, the underwriters may purchase and to such other persons whosell common stock in the Committee selectsopen market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of common stock in excess of the number of shares to be participantspurchased by the underwriters in the Plan. Such awardsoffering, which creates a syndicate short position. “Covered” short sales are sales of shares made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters’ over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make “naked” short sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be granted singly, in tandem, or in combination with eachdownward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in progress for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.
In connection with any offering, the underwriters may also engage in penalty bids. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
Fees and Commissions
In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the aggregate maximum discount, commission or agency fees or other awards.items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement; however, it is anticipated that the maximum commission or discount to be received in any particular offering of securities will be significantly less than this amount.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Indemnification Agreements. Indemnification Agreements. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we may indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of us to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The indemnification provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. In addition, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, which are broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities act and is therefore unenforceable.
Insurance. We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which covers directors and officers of our Company against certain claims or liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties.
Underwriting Agreement. Any future underwriting agreement with the selected underwriters will provide for the indemnification of the directors and officers of our Company against specified liabilities related to this prospectus under the Securities Act in certain circumstances.

(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of a registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, that registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
