John Laing Infrastructure Fund Limited (the "Company" or "JLIF")

Proposed issue of equity

The Board of JLIF today announces a proposal to raise up to £35 million before costs through a placing (the "Placing") of ordinary shares in the capital of the company (the "Placing Shares") by way of tap issuance.

The net proceeds will be used towards paying down the Company's current debt of approximately £35 million, which was principally drawn in connection with the successful acquisition of a 30% stake in Peterborough Hospital in April 2013 totalling £26.7 million.

JLIF, in line with its published strategy, continues to evaluate and pursue a number of acquisition opportunities, certain of which are at an advanced stage of negotiation, which would satisfy its investment policy and stringent acquisition criteria. JLIF has access to bank facilities totalling £150 million and the Placing will allow JLIF to pay down existing debt and enable its bank facilities to be used for future secondary market purchases.

The Company estimates a net asset value per share of 106.2p as at 25 June 2013.

Details of the Placing and expected timetable

Under the terms of the Placing, JLIF intends to place up to £35 million in new ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each in the capital of the Company, under authority gained at its recent AGM on 10 May 2013.

The Placing will be non pre-emptive and launched immediately following this placing announcement (the "Announcement"). The number and price of the Placing Shares will be determined at the close of the bookbuild for the Placing expected today and announced shortly thereafter.

Following the closing of the Placing, JLIF will be subject to a lock-up from issuing further ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions, for a period up to the date of the release of its interim results to 30 June 2013, expected on 27 August 2013.

J.P. Morgan Securities plc (which conducts its UK investment banking business under the name J.P. Morgan Cazenove) ("JPMC") has been appointed as sole bookrunner in respect of the Placing.

The Appendix to this Announcement (which forms part of the Announcement) sets out the terms and conditions of the Placing.

Commenting on the Placing, Paul Lester, Chairman of JLIF, said:

"JLIF has a successful track record of raising funds to grow its business. Since listing, JLIF has raised over £520 million in funds to invest in a portfolio which has delivered healthy returns to shareholders of over 30% to date. Today's announcement provides the Company with further flexibility to pursue other opportunities in the secondary market with our banking facility, as well as allowing JLIF to repay debt, as part of our stated strategy."

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PURCHASERS IN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC

Rights of action for damages or rescission for purchasers in Ontario

Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) (the "Ontario Act") provides that every purchaser of securities pursuant to an offering memorandum (such as this Announcement) shall have a statutory right of action for damages or rescission against the Company and any selling security holder in the event that the offering memorandum contains a Misrepresentation. Where used herein, "Misrepresentation" means an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make any statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made.

A purchaser who purchases securities offered by the offering memorandum during the period of distribution has, without regard to whether the purchaser relied upon the Misrepresentation, a right of action for damages or, alternatively, while still the owner of the securities, for rescission against the Company and any selling security holder provided that:

(a) if the purchaser exercises its right of rescission, it shall cease to have a right of action for damages as against the Company and the selling security holders, if any;

(b) the Company and the selling security holders, if any, will not be liable if they prove that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the Misrepresentation;

(c) the Company and the selling security holders, if any, will not be liable for all or any portion of damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the Misrepresentation relied upon; and

(d) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the securities were offered.

Section 138 of the Ontario Act provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than:

(a) in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; or

(b) in the case of an action for damages, the earlier of:

(i) 180 days after the date that the purchaser first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action; or

(ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action.

This Announcement is being delivered in reliance on the exemption from the prospectus requirement contained under section 2.3 of NI 45-106 (the "accredited investor exemption"). The rights referred to in section 130.1 of the Ontario Act do not apply in respect of an offering memorandum (such as this Announcement) delivered to a prospective purchaser in connection with a distribution made in reliance on the accredited investor exemption if the prospective purchaser is:

(a) a Canadian financial institution or a Schedule III bank (each as defined in NI 45-106);

(b) the Business Development Bank of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada); or

(c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), if the person owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by directors of that subsidiary.

The foregoing summary is subject to the express provisions of the Ontario Act and the rules, regulations and other provisions thereunder, and reference is made to the complete text of such provisions. Such provisions may contain limitations and statutory defences on which the Company and the selling stockholder(s), if any, may rely.

The rights of action for damages or rescission discussed above are in addition to, and without derogation from, any other right or remedy which purchasers in Ontario may have at law.

Rights of action for damages or rescission for purchasers in Québec

Investors in securities who are resident in Québec shall be granted a contractual right of action for damages or rescission if an offering memorandum, together with any amendments to it, contains a Misrepresentation. The contractual right of action shall be granted on the same terms and conditions as the statutory rights of action for investors of securities who are resident in Ontario as described above.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in Guernsey. All or substantially all of the Company's directors and officers (or their equivalents) may be located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for Canadian investors to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or such persons. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such other persons may be located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgement against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgement obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside of Canada.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

JPMC has entered into a placing agreement (the "Placing Agreement") with the Company and John Laing Capital Management Limited (the "Investment Adviser") under which JPMC has, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out therein, undertaken, as agent for the Company, to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation and be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares of 0.01 pence per share in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of such Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

Application for listing and admission to trading

Application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") for admission of the Placing Shares to the premium segment of the Official List of the FCA (the "Official List") and to London Stock Exchange plc for admission to trading of the Placing Shares on its main market for listed securities (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 2 July 2013 and that dealings in the Placing Shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities will commence at that time.

Bookbuild

JPMC will today commence the bookbuilding process in respect to the Placing (the "Bookbuild") to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees. This Appendix gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

JPMC and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuild as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Participation in, and principal terms of, the Placing

1. JPMC is arranging the Placing as sole bookrunner and agent of the Company.

2. Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited to participate by JPMC. JPMC and its affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuild as investors for their own account.

3. By participating in the Bookbuild process and the Placing, Placees will be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement, including this Appendix, in its entirety and to be participating and making an offer for Placing Shares on the terms and conditions, and to be providing the representations, warranties, indemnities, acknowledgments, agreements and undertakings contained in this Appendix.

4. The Placing Shares are not being offered at a fixed price. The number of Placing Shares to be issued and the price per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") will be agreed between JPMC and the Company following completion of the Bookbuild. The number of Placing Shares and the Placing Price will be announced on a Regulatory Information Service following completion of the Bookbuild.

5. To bid in the Bookbuild, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone to their usual sales contact at JPMC. Each bid should state the number of Placing Shares which the prospective Placee wishes to subscribe for and the price or price range that the prospective Placee is offering to pay. Bids may be scaled down by JPMC on the basis referred to paragraph 9 below. No more than £35 million (at the Placing Price) of Placing Shares will be issued in aggregate.

6. The Bookbuild is expected to close no later than 4 p.m. (London time) on 27 June 2013 but may be closed earlier or later at the discretion of JPMC. JPMC may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuild has closed.

7. A bid in the Bookbuild will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Announcement (including this Appendix) and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and except with JPMC's consent will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted.

8. Each Placee's allocation and the Placing Price will be confirmed to Placees orally by JPMC following the close of the Bookbuild, and a trade confirmation will be dispatched as soon as possible thereafter by JPMC and the terms of this Appendix will be deemed incorporated by reference therein. JPMC's oral confirmation to a Placee will constitute an irrevocable legally binding commitment upon that person (who will at that point become a Placee) in favour of JPMC and the Company, under which it agrees to subscribe for the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set out in this Appendix and in accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation. Each Placee will also have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to JPMC, to pay it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of the Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to subscribe and that the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee.

9. Subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 above, JPMC may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined in agreement with the Company and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as JPMC may determine. JPMC may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 5 and 6 above, subject to the prior consent of the Company: (i) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time, and (ii) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The Company reserves the right to reduce or seek to increase, subject to the maximum size of the Placing being £35 million (at the Placing Price) of Placing Shares, the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing.

10. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by JPMC or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

11. Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

12. All obligations under the Bookbuild and Placing will be subject to fulfilment or (where applicable) waiver of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement".

13. By participating in the Bookbuild, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

14. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither JPMC nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise). In particular, neither JPMC nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability to Placees (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of JPMC's conduct of the Bookbuild or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as JPMC and the Company may agree.

Conditions of the Placing 

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms. JPMC's obligations under the Placing Agreement are conditional on, inter alia:

(a) the execution and delivery of the term sheet setting out the number of Placing Shares and the Placing Price, to be executed by JPMC, the Company and the Investment Adviser at the end of the Bookbuild;

(b) the representations and warranties contained in the Placing Agreement being true and accurate and not misleading on and as of the date of the Placing Agreement and at all times before Admission;

(c) in the opinion of JPMC (acting in good faith), the Company and the Investment Adviser having complied with and performed their respective obligations under the Placing Agreement, which in the opinion of JPMC (acting in good faith) are material in the context of the Placing, to the extent that the same fall to be performed before Admission;

(d) there not having occurred before Admission any development or event (or any development or event involving a prospective change of which the Company or the Investment Adviser (as the case may be) is aware) which will or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial, operational, legal or otherwise), prospects, solvency, liquidity, management, results of operations, financial position, business or general affairs of the Company or any member of its group, or of the Investment Adviser, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (a "Material Adverse Change");

(e) the Company allotting and issuing, subject only to Admission, the Placing Shares in accordance with the Placing Agreement; and

(f) Admission occurring not later than 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 2 July 2013 or such later date as the Company and JPMC may otherwise agree but not being later than close of business on 3 July 2013, (all conditions to the obligations of JPMC included in the Placing Agreement being together the "conditions").

If any of the conditions contained in the Placing Agreement are not fulfilled or (where applicable) waived by JPMC within the stated time period (where specified) or such later time or date as the Company and JPMC may agree or have become incapable of being fulfilled or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Placing will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations hereunder in relation to the Placing Shares shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof.

JPMC may, at its discretion and upon such terms as it thinks fit, waive compliance by the Company or the Investment Adviser with the whole or any part of any of their respective obligations in relation to the conditions in the Placing Agreement (save that the above conditions relating to the term sheet being executed and delivered and to Admission taking place and the Company's allotment of the Placing Shares may not be waived) or extend in writing the time required for the fulfilment of any such conditions in respect of all or any part of the performance thereof. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Announcement (including this Appendix).

Neither JPMC nor the Company shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision it may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision they may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally, and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of JPMC.

Right to terminate the Placing under the Placing Agreement

JPMC is entitled, at any time before Admission, to terminate the Placing Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, including if:

(a) in the opinion of JPMC (acting in good faith), the representations and warranties contained in the Placing Agreement are not true and accurate or have become misleading (or would not be true and accurate or would be misleading if they were repeated at any time before Admission) by reference to the facts subsisting at the time when the notice to terminate the Placing Agreement is given; or

(b) in the opinion of JPMC (acting in good faith), the Company or the Investment Adviser fails to comply with any of their respective obligations under the Placing Agreement which in the opinion of JPMC (acting in good faith) is material in the context of the Placing; or

(c) in the opinion of JPMC (acting in good faith), there has been a Material Adverse Change (whether or not foreseeable at the date of the Placing Agreement); or

(d) in the opinion of JPMC (acting in good faith), there has been a force majeure event as specified in the Placing Agreement which would, in the opinion of JPMC (acting in good faith), make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Placing.

By participating in the Placing, Placees agree that the exercise by JPMC of any right of termination or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of JPMC and that it need not make any reference to Placees and that it shall have no liability to Placees (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise or failure so to exercise.

No Prospectus

The Placing Shares are being offered to Relevant Persons only and will not be offered in such a way as to require a prospectus in Guernsey, the United Kingdom or elsewhere. No offering document or prospectus has been or will be submitted to be approved by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission nor the States of Guernsey Policy Council nor the FCA in relation to the Placing and Placees' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this Announcement (including this Appendix) and certain business and financial information in accordance with the rules and practices of the FCA (collectively "Exchange Information").

Each Placee, by accepting a participation in the Placing, agrees that the content of this Announcement, including this Appendix, is exclusively the responsibility of the Company and confirms that it has neither received nor relied on any other information (other than the Exchange Information), representation, warranty, or statement made by or on behalf of the Company or JPMC or any other person and neither JPMC nor the Company nor the Investment Adviser nor any other person will be liable for any Placee's decision to participate in the Placing based on any other information, representation, warranty or statement which the Placees may have obtained or received. Each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it has relied on its own investigation of the business, financial or other position of the Company in accepting a participation in the Placing. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Registration and Settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GG00B4ZWPH08) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. JPMC and the Company reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees, by such other means that they deem necessary if delivery or settlement to the Placees is not practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Placee's jurisdiction.

Following close of the Bookbuild, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a trade confirmation in accordance with that Placee's standing arrangements in place with JPMC stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price, the aggregate amount owed by such Placee to JPMC and settlement instructions. Each Placee agrees that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions that it has in place with JPMC. The Company will issue shares on a delivery versus payment basis.

It is expected that settlement will be on 2 July 2013 on a T+3 basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of two percentage points above LIBOR as determined by JPMC.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, JPMC may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for JPMC's account and benefit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall between the net proceeds of such sale and the placing proceeds of such Placing Shares and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties due pursuant to the terms set out or referred to in this Announcement) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on JPMC all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which JPMC lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that, upon receipt, the trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Representations, Warranties and Further Terms

The representations, warranties, acknowledgments and undertakings contained in this Appendix are given to JPMC for itself and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable.

The agreement to settle a Placee's subscription of the Placing Shares (and/or the subscription of a person for whom such Placee is contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax depends on the settlement relating only to a subscription by it and/or such person direct from the Company for the Placing Shares in question. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being subscribed for in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to issue or transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement related to any other dealing in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable, for which neither the Company nor JPMC will be responsible and the Placee to whom (or on behalf of whom, or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax undertakes to pay such UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and JPMC in the event that any of the Company and/or JPMC has incurred any such liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and notify JPMC accordingly.

In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the UK by them or any other person on the subscription by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to subscribe for any Placing Shares.

Each Placee, and any person acting on behalf of the Placee, acknowledges that JPMC does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect of any representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities in the Placing Agreement and that such representations, warranties, undertakings and indemnities are not given for the benefit of any Placee.

Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and agrees that JPMC or any of its affiliates may, at its absolute discretion, agree to become a Placee in respect of some or all of the Placing Shares.

When a Placee or person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with JPMC, any money held in an account with JPMC on behalf of the Placee and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the FCA made under the FSMA. Each Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject to the protections conferred by the client money rules; as a consequence, this money will not be segregated from JPMC's money in accordance with the client money rules and will be used by JPMC in the course of its own business and the Placee will rank only as a general creditor of JPMC.

Past performance is no guide to future performance and persons seeking advice should consult an independent financial adviser.

All times and dates in this Announcement (including this Appendix) may be subject to amendment, and Placees' commitments, representations and warranties are not conditional on any of the expected times and dates in this Announcement (including this Appendix) being achieved. JPMC shall notify the Placees and any person acting on behalf of the Placees of any changes.
