This dividend policy has been set to provide holders of the Shares with an economic return equivalent to holders of BBU units.

$0.25 per unit annual distribution made on BBU units and BBUC will target to pay the same annual dividends on each Share at the same time.
- BBUC anticipates that its first quarterly dividend will be paid on
June 30, 2022 , subject to Board approval.
