Appendix “A”
Pro Forma Financial Statements
(see attached)
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements of 1559985 B.C. Ltd. (renamed to Brookfield Business Corporation on March 27, 2026 and hereafter referred to as “the Corporation”) have been prepared to illustrate the pro forma effects resulting from the reorganization transactions implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”).
The key elements of the Arrangement are as follows:
| · | The issuance of class A subordinate voting shares of the Corporation (“Corporation Class A Shares”) to holders of limited partnership units (“BBU units”) of Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (“BBU” or “the partnership”) and to holders of redemption-exchange partnership units of Brookfield Business L.P. (“REUs”) in a one-for-one exchange of Corporation Class A Shares for BBU units and REUs. |
| · | The issuance of Corporation Class A Shares to holders of class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (“BBUC exchangeable shares”) of Brookfield Business Holdings Corporation (renamed from Brookfield Business Corporation on March 27, 2026 and hereafter referred to as “BBHC”) in a one-for-one exchange of Corporation Class A Shares for BBUC exchangeable shares. |
| · | The issuance of Class B Multiple Voting Shares of the Corporation (“Corporation Class B Shares”) to Brookfield Corporation (“Brookfield”) in exchange for the transfer of 100% of the common shares in Brookfield Business Partners Limited (“BBU General Partner”) to the Corporation. |
| · | The issuance of Special Non-Voting Incentive Shares of the Corporation (“Corporation Special Shares”) to a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (“BAM”) in exchange for the transfer of 100% of the special limited partnership units of Brookfield Business L.P (“Holding LP”) to the Corporation. |
The information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position as at December 31, 2025 gives effect to the Arrangement as if the Arrangement had been consummated on December 31, 2025.
The information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operating Results for the year ended December 31, 2025 gives effect to the Arrangement as if the Arrangement had been consummated on January 1, 2025.
All financial data in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements is presented in U.S. dollars and the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the partnership, which for accounting purposes will be the predecessor of the Corporation. Following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation directly and indirectly controls the partnership and BBHC, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the partnership, and both will cease to be reporting issuers shortly after consummation of the Arrangement. BBU is the predecessor to the Corporation for accounting purposes and therefore the historical financial statements of BBU have become the historical financial statements of the Corporation.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on preliminary estimates, accounting judgments and currently available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements provide a discussion of how such pro forma adjustments were derived and presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the partnership as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the audited financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the period from incorporation on October 10, 2025 to December 31, 2025 and related notes thereto.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results of the Corporation had the Arrangement occurred on the date indicated, nor is such pro forma financial information necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. The actual financial position and operating results may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | Following the completion of the Arrangement on March 27, 2026, the Corporation directly and indirectly controls Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (“BBU” or “the partnership”) and Brookfield Business Holdings Corporation (“BBHC”, previously named Brookfield Business Corporation), which will cease to be reporting issuers shortly after completion of the Arrangement. As a result, BBU is the predecessor to the Corporation for accounting purposes and therefore the historical financial statements of BBU have become the historical financial statements of the Corporation. The partnership’s historical results, which include the results of BBHC as a consolidated subsidiary, have been presented in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements as a pro forma adjustment to reflect the transfer of interests in BBU and BBHC to the Corporation pursuant to the Arrangement. The ultimate parent of both the partnership and the Corporation is Brookfield Corporation (“Brookfield”), therefore the transfer of interests is at carrying value as the Arrangement is between entities under common control. |
| 2. | The Corporation was formed on October 10, 2025 by a subsidiary of Brookfield, which contributed $1,000 on formation in exchange for one Corporation Class B Share. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements are derived from the financial statements of the partnership. The pro forma transaction accounting adjustments include necessary adjustments to effect the exchange of $2,294 million of BBU units, $1,350 million of REUs, and $1,807 million of BBUC exchangeable shares into $5,451 million of the Corporation Class A Shares, and to reflect equity and net income attribution based on the new Corporation Class A Shares, Corporation Class B Shares and Corporation Special Shares outstanding. |
Following completion of the Arrangement, the Corporation has 207,007,465 Corporation Class A Shares, 4 Corporation Class B Shares and 4 Corporation Special Shares outstanding. Brookfield and Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. (“BWS”) hold 89,097,802 and 53,651,499, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Corporation Class A Shares, with 64,258,164 Corporation Class A Shares held by public shareholders. Brookfield holds 4 Corporation Class B Shares, and a subsidiary of BAM holds 4 Corporation Special Shares.
| 3. | The pro forma adjustments include provisions for estimated transaction fees associated with the Arrangement. As the transaction costs incurred are directly attributable to an equity transaction, the transaction costs of $5 million are recorded in equity in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”). |
| 4. | Certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform the presentation of the partnership’s historical financial information with that of the Corporation’s Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements. |
| 5. | The Corporation expects to incur public company costs similar to those historically incurred by the partnership and has presented these costs as general and administrative expenses in its consolidated statement of operating results. Since these costs have already been included in the partnership’s consolidated statement of operating results, the Corporation has not made any autonomous entity adjustments for these costs in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements. |
| 6. | The Corporation calculates basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares outstanding during the period. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of 1559985 B.C. Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of 1559985 B.C. Ltd. (the “Corporation”) as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operating results, changes in equity and cash flow for the period from October 10, 2025 to December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2025 and its financial performance and its cash flows from October 10, 2025 to December 31, 2025 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Corporation's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Corporation in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at and for the period from incorporation on October 10, 2025 to December 31, 2025
NOTE 1. NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE CORPORATION
1559985 B.C. Ltd. (“the Corporation”) was formed under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on October 10, 2025. The Corporation is a subsidiary of Brookfield Corporation (“Brookfield”), which we also refer to as the parent company. The Corporation was established to effect an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement”) with Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (“BBU”) and Brookfield Business Corporation (“BBUC”), both entities under common control of the parent company. The Arrangement was designed to simplify the corporate structure of BBU and BBUC, resulting in securityholders owning shares in a single corporate entity which is expected to drive long-term value and benefits for all shareholders. The Arrangement was completed on March 27, 2026. Refer to Note 4 for further details.
The Corporation’s head office is located at 225 Liberty Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10281-1048 and its registered office is located at 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7.
The financial statements were approved by the board of directors of the Corporation and authorized for issue on March 30, 2026.
NOTE 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
| (a) | Statement of Compliance |
The Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Operating Results, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flow and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
| (b) | Cash |
Cash includes cash on hand.
| (c) | Interest income |
Interest income includes bank interest income earned on cash on hand.
| (d) | Foreign Currency Translation |
The United States dollar is the functional and presentation currency of the Corporation.
| (e) | Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty |
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources, during the reporting period. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgments and estimates made by management and utilized in the normal course of preparing the Corporation’s financial statements are outlined below.
| (i) | Common control transactions |
IFRS 3, Business Combinations does not include specific measurement guidance for the acquisition of a business from an entity that is under common control. Accordingly, the Corporation has developed a policy to account for such transactions taking into consideration other guidance in the IFRS Accounting Standards and pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies. The Corporation’s policy is to record assets and liabilities recognized as a result of an acquisition of a business from an entity that is under common control at the carrying value on the transferor’s financial statements.

NOTE 3. CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (“Corporation Class A Shares”), an unlimited number of Class B Multiple Voting Shares (“Corporation Class B Shares”), an unlimited number of Special Non-Voting Incentive Shares (“Corporation Special Shares”), and an unlimited number of Class A Preferred Shares (“Corporation Class A Preferred Shares”) issuable in series. On October 10, 2025, the Corporation issued 1 Corporation Class B Share to BPEG BN Holdings LP, a subsidiary of Brookfield, for $1,000.
The Corporation Class A Shares and Corporation Class B Shares will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, all meetings of shareholders of the Corporation, except for meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately as a class or series.

Each holder of Corporation Class A Shares will be entitled to cast one vote for each Corporation Class A Share held at the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote on any matter.

Except as required by law, the holders of Corporation Special Shares will be entitled to receive notice of and to attend but will not be entitled to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation. Except as required by law or as specified in the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached from time to time to any series of Corporation Class A Preferred Shares, the holders of such Corporation Class A Preferred Shares will not be entitled to receive notice of, to attend or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation.
