The Companyâs actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied by any

operating performance, including projected or forecast financial results, distributions to stockholders, capital expenditures, debt
ratios, capitalization matters and other forecasted metrics, as well as any other statements that are not historical facts in this
presentation are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and
beyond the Companyâs control. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, (a) the failure to obtain Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approval
of the dismissal of the rate case on terms consistent with those proposed by Sharyland Distribution & Transmission Services, L.L.C.
(SDTS) and Sharyland Utilities, L.P. (Sharyland), (b) the failure to obtain regulatory or bankruptcy court approval for the transaction
with Oncor or (c) the failure to consummate the transaction due to other unsatisfied closing conditions.
When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described
under the heading âRisk Factorsâ included in the Companyâs filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those indicated. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and reaffirmed, and the Company

Overview
Asset Exchange and Proposed Rate Case Dismissal
âȘ InfraREITâs regulated subsidiary (SDTS), Sharyland and Oncor have signed
definitive agreements to enter into an asset exchange
ï± SDTS to exchange ~$400 million of Distribution assets for ~$380 million of Transmission
assets and ~$20 million of cash from Oncor
âȘ In conjunction with the asset exchange, SDTS and Sharyland have reached an
agreement with key parties regarding the proposed dismissal of the rate case
ï± Key regulatory parameters will remain in place until the next rate case, which SDTS and
Sharyland have committed to file in 2020, based on a test year ending December 31,
2019
âȘ Separately, Oncor entered into an agreement regarding the proposed settlement
of its rate case
âȘ The simultaneous closing of the asset exchange, dismissal of the SDTS and
Sharyland rate case, and the effectiveness of the Oncor rate case settlement
expected in Q4 2017
ï± Key parties to each rate case support the proposed agreements

Strategic Rationale and Advantages

affordable power to its customers
ï± Sharylandâs distribution customers will become Oncorâs customers and move
to Oncorâs rates after closing
ï± Transaction will result in a significant reduction in rates for all of Sharylandâs
retail distribution customer classes
âȘ Provide a productive resolution to SDTS and Sharylandâs pending
rate case
ï± Maintain existing regulatory framework and regulatory metrics until the next
rate case
ï± File a new rate case as a stand-alone transmission service provider in 2020
based on a 2019 test year
