Item 8.01.	Other Events.	
InfraREIT, Inc. (the “Company”) is providing the following update with respect to changes in the chairmanship of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
W. Kirk Baker, whose current term as a director expires at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), has asked not to be nominated for reelection to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Baker has decided to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Baker plans to continue to serve out the remainder of his existing term as a director. However, in light of his impending departure from the Board, Mr. Baker tendered his resignation as Chairman of the Board, effective as of February 14, 2018. Subsequently, the Board elected Harold R. Logan, Jr., who has served as Lead Director since the Company’s initial public offering, as the Chairman of the Board, also effective as of February 14, 2018.
Mr. Baker was part of the team that originated the idea to own regulated infrastructure assets through a real estate investment trust structure and led the effort that resulted in the formation of the Company’s predecessor, which he served as Chief Executive Officer from November 2010 until August 2014. Mr. Baker’s service to the Company will be recognized as part of the Annual Meeting in May.
