INFRASOURCE SERVICES, INC.
PROXY STATEMENT
       The accompanying proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of InfraSource Services, Inc. (“InfraSource”) in connection with the Annual Meeting of stockholders of InfraSource to be held on Tuesday, June 7, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. (local time), at 1735 Market Street, Suite 4200, Philadelphia, PA 19103 and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy are being mailed on or after April 29, 2005 to the holders of record of common stock on April 15, 2005.
ABOUT THE MEETING
What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?
      At our Annual Meeting, stockholders will act upon the following matters:
  •  the election of six directors of InfraSource each to serve for a one-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of stockholders in 2006; and
 
  •  any other business that may properly be brought before the Annual Meeting.
      In addition, our management will report on InfraSource’s performance during the year ended December 31, 2004 and respond to questions from stockholders.
Who is entitled to vote?
      Only stockholders of record on the record date, which was the close of business on April 15, 2005, will be entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.
How do I vote?
      If you complete and properly sign the accompanying proxy card and return it to us, it will be voted as you direct. If you attend the Annual Meeting in person and are a stockholder of record at the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person or vote in person at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, 39,348,650 shares of our common stock were outstanding.
What constitutes a quorum?
      A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting of holders of shares representing a majority of our outstanding common stock constitutes a quorum. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present for establishing a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs on an item when a broker is not permitted to vote on that item without instruction from the beneficial owner of the shares, and no instruction is given.
How does discretionary voting authority apply?
      If you sign and return your proxy card, but do not make any selections, you give discretionary authority to the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card, Terence R. Montgomery, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of InfraSource, and R. Barry Sauder, Vice President, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer of InfraSource, to vote on the proposals and any other matters that may arise at the Annual Meeting.


Table of Contents

What are the Board’s recommendations?
      Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, Terence R. Montgomery and Barry Sauder will vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors. The Board recommends a vote:
  •  FOR election of the six nominees as directors of InfraSource, John A. Brayman, Christopher S. Brothers, Michael P. Harmon, David R. Helwig, Ian A. Schapiro and Richard S. Siudek.
      With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.
What vote is required to approve each item?
      Election of Directors. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes. The six nominees for director receiving the highest number of votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote for directors will be elected to serve on the Board. Only the number of votes “for” and “against” affect the outcome. Accordingly, votes withheld and abstentions will have no effect on the result of the vote.
      Other Items. With respect to any other item that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, such item would require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any other item that properly comes before the Annual Meeting will have the effect of a negative vote. Broker non-votes will not be considered as votes entitled to be cast and thus will have no effect on the result of the vote.
Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?
      Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy card, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with the Secretary of InfraSource either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a date later than the date on the proxy card you submitted. The power of the proxy holders to vote your proxy will be suspended if you give notice to the Secretary of InfraSource revoking your proxy prior to its use, return a later dated proxy card or attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.
Who bears the cost of solicitation of proxies?
      InfraSource bears the cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing this proxy statement and other material furnished to stockholders in connection with this solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, our officers, directors and employees may use other written communication, telephone and other means to solicit proxies. These persons receive no special compensation for any solicitation activities.
When are stockholder proposals due for the year 2006 Annual Meeting?
      To be included in next year’s proxy statement, stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing by December 29, 2005 to: Secretary, InfraSource Services, Inc., and mailed to 110 West Sixth Street, Suite 300, Media, Pennsylvania 19063. If any stockholder proposal is submitted after December 29, 2005, the proxy holders will be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the 2006 Annual Meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement for that meeting.
Will every stockholder receive a proxy statement?
      Certain stockholders who share the same address may receive only one copy of this proxy statement and our 2005 Annual Report to Stockholders in accordance with a notice delivered earlier this year from such stockholders’ bank, broker or other holder of record, unless the applicable bank, broker or other holder of record received contrary instructions. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce printing and postage costs. If you own your shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record and wish to either

GOVERNANCE OF INFRASOURCE
      Our Board of Directors believes that the purpose of corporate governance is to ensure that stockholder value is maximized in a manner consistent with the strategic plans of our company, legal requirements, the highest standards of integrity and other standards. Our Board adheres to corporate governance practices that the Board and senior management believe promote this purpose and are sound. It is our practice to review these governance practices, Delaware law (the state in which InfraSource is incorporated), the Corporate Governance Listing Standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE Standards”), and the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as best practices suggested by recognized governance authorities from time to time, as needed.
      Under the applicable provisions of the NYSE Standards, a listed company that has one stockholder, or affiliates thereof, that hold or control more than 50% of the voting power is considered a “controlled company.” InfraSource is a controlled company under the NYSE Standards because OCM/ GFI Power Opportunities Fund, L.P. and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P., the funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, LLC and GFI Energy Ventures LLC (which funds are hereafter referred to as our “principal stockholders”), hold approximately 65% of our outstanding voting common stock. As a controlled company, we are exempt from the requirements in the NYSE Standards that would otherwise require us to have:
  •  a majority of our directors meet the “independent director” definition under the NYSE Standards; and
 
  •  all independent directors as the members of our Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
      We remain subject to the NYSE Standards requirement that our Audit Committee be comprised of only independent directors — a requirement we must meet by the May 2005 anniversary of our initial public offering.
Board of Directors
      Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven (7) members: Ian A. Schapiro (interim chairman), John A. Brayman, Christopher S. Brothers, Michael P. Harmon, David R. Helwig, John R. Marshall and Richard S. Siudek.
      In accordance with InfraSource’s Certificate of Incorporation, the members of the Board hold office for one-year terms. At each Annual Meeting of stockholders, the successors to the directors whose terms expire are to be elected to serve from the time of their election and qualification until the next Annual Meeting of stockholders following their election or until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified. InfraSource’s Chairman of the Board of Directors presides over non-management executive sessions.
Committees and Meetings of the Board of Directors
How often did the Board meet during fiscal 2004?
      The Board held eleven (11) meetings during the last fiscal year. Each of InfraSource’s directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and of all committees of which he was a member during the periods that he served during the year ended December 31, 2004.
What committees has the Board established?
      The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees.
      Audit Committee. During 2004, the Audit Committee, consisting of Messrs. Schapiro (Chairman), Marshall, and Siudek, met four (4) times. The Board has determined, for the year ended December 31, 2004, that each of the Audit Committee members were independent for the purposes of the NYSE Standards and the regulations promulgated by the SEC, except Mr. Schapiro. The Board anticipates appointing an

Table of Contents

independent director to the Audit Committee so that InfraSource will have an Audit Committee comprised of solely independent directors, as defined in the NYSE Standards, which we are required to have under the NYSE Standards by May 12, 2005, the first anniversary of our initial public offering. The Board has also determined that Mr. Marshall, the Audit Committee’s financial expert, meets the SEC criteria of a “financial expert” and is “financially sophisticated” for the purposes of NYSE Standards. The Audit Committee is governed by a charter, a copy of which, as adopted on April 29, 2004, is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement and is also posted on our website at www.infrasourceinc.com. The Audit Committee selects, on behalf of our Board of Directors, an independent registered public accounting firm to be engaged to audit our financial statements, discusses with the independent registered public accountants their independence, reviews and discusses the audited financial statements with the independent registered public accountants and management and recommends to our Board of Directors whether the audited financials should be included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC.
      Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, consisting of Messrs. Brayman (Chairman), Brothers and Helwig, met five (5) times during 2004. The Compensation Committee, which is governed by a charter that is posted on our website at www.infrasourceinc.com, reviews and either approves, on behalf of our Board of Directors, or recommends to the Board of Directors for approval (1) the annual salaries and other compensation of our executive officers and (2) individual stock, stock option and stock-based awards. Mr. Brayman, as the only independent member of the Compensation Committee, determines or makes recommendations with respect to Mr. Helwig’s compensation. The Compensation Committee also provides assistance, recommendations and approval with respect to our compensation policies and practices. As a controlled company, InfraSource is not required to meet the independence requirements of the NYSE Standards for the composition of its Compensation Committee.
      Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, consisting of Messrs. Harmon (Chairman), Marshall and Schapiro, did not meet during 2004. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is governed by a charter, a copy of which is posted on our website at www.infrasourceinc.com. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities by identifying and approving individuals qualified to serve as members of our Board of Directors, selecting director nominees for our annual meetings of stockholders, evaluating the performance of our Board of Directors, and developing and recommending to our Board of Directors corporate governance guidelines and oversight with respect to corporate governance and ethical conduct. As a controlled company, InfraSource is not required to meet the independence requirements of the NYSE Standards for the composition of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
What is the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director?
      The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members, other Board members and management as well as by stockholders, as described below. The Committee has the authority to retain a search firm to assist in the identification of director candidates. The Committee screens all potential candidates in the same manner regardless of the source of the recommendation.
      In selecting a nominee for director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the following qualifications or attributes: experience, skills, expertise, diversity, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication, conflicts of interests, independence from the company’s management and controlling stockholders and such other relevant factors that may be appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board.
      In approving candidates for election as director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also assure that the Board satisfies the composition requirements set forth under the NYSE Standards, given InfraSource’s status as a controlled company, and the regulations promulgated by the SEC.

Director Independence
      The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which incorporate the NYSE Standards and other rules and regulations pertaining to corporate governance that are applicable to InfraSource. The Corporate Governance Standards are available on our website at www.infrasourceinc.com. The Corporate Governance Standards adopt the definition of director independence set forth in the NYSE Standards. No director will be considered independent unless the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with InfraSource, directly or as an officer, stockholder or partner of an organization that has a relationship with InfraSource. In its annual review of director independence, the Board of Directors considers all commercial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable or other business relationships any director may have with the Company. As a result of its annual review, the Board determined that John A. Brayman, John R. Marshall and Richard S. Siudek are independent under the current NYSE Standards. In making this determination, the Board of Directors evaluated whether there exists any relationships between these individuals and InfraSource and determined that no material relationships exist between InfraSource and the independent directors.
Stockholder Nomination of Directors
      Recommendations of Director Nominees by Stockholders. In accordance with InfraSource’s procedures for director nominations by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will accept for consideration submissions of candidates for director from stockholders who own at least 1% of the outstanding common stock of InfraSource and have owned such shares for at least one year. All recommendations by eligible stockholders must be in writing, addressed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, care of the President, 100 West Sixth Street, Suite 300, Media, Pennsylvania 19063.

  •  the name and address, including telephone number;

  •  if the recommending stockholder is not a stockholder of record, a statement from the record holder of the shares (i.e., a broker or bank) verifying the holdings of the stockholder and a statement from the recommending stockholder of the length of time that the shares have been held; and
 
  •  a statement from the stockholder as to whether the stockholder has a good faith intention to continue to hold the reported shares through the date of InfraSource’s next annual meeting of stockholders.

      A recommendation of a nominee for director by a stockholder must include the following information for each proposed nominee:

  •  a statement from the recommending stockholder whether, in the view of such stockholder, the nominee, if elected, would represent all stockholders and not serve for the purpose of advancing or favoring any particular stockholder or other constituency of InfraSource; and
 
  •  the consent of the proposed nominee to be interviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee chooses to do so in its discretion (and the recommending stockholder must furnish the proposed nominee’s contact information for this purpose), and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director of InfraSource.
      Stockholder recommendations for nominees for directors to be elected at our 2006 annual meeting must be submitted in accordance with the procedures described above on or before December 29, 2005. If a recommendation is submitted by two or more stockholders, the required information regarding recommending stockholders must be submitted with respect to each stockholder in the group.
      Stockholder Nominations of Directors for this Annual Meeting. InfraSource was not subject to the requirements related to stockholder nomination for directors prior to completion of its initial public offering. InfraSource did not receive any written nominations for directors prior to the mailing of this proxy statement.

Table of Contents

      Prior to April 27, 2005, InfraSource’s non-independent directors did not receive any compensation. InfraSource anticipates that Messrs. Brothers’ and Harmon’s director fees will be paid directly to Oaktree Capital Management, LLC and Mr. Schapiro’s director fees will be paid directly to GFI Energy Ventures LLC. All directors are entitled to receive reimbursement for all reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with Board of Directors’ meetings and meetings of committees of the Board of Directors.
Stockholder Access Policy
      A stockholder who wishes to communicate with directors should do so by sending his, her or its communications to the President of the Company, by telephone, e-mail or regular mail at the telephone number, e-mail address or direct mail address posted to the Contact section of our website (www.infrasourceinc.com). The President will review all such correspondence and regularly forward to the Board a summary of all such correspondence and copies of all correspondence that, in the opinion of the President, is appropriate. Generally, any communications that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions for a product or service, patently offensive material, or material advocating InfraSource or its agents engage in illegal activities will be forwarded promptly to the addressee. If a communication is not presented to the directors because the President determines that it is not appropriate for delivery to the directors, the director or directors identified in the communication will be made aware of such decision. If a director requests, any such communication will be provided for his or her review.
      Submissions of communications should include the following information: (1) a statement of the type and amount of InfraSource stock that the person holds; (2) if the person submitting the communication is not a InfraSource stockholder and is submitting the communication to the non-management directors as an interested party, the nature of the person’s interest in InfraSource; (3) any special interest in the subject matter of the communication; and (4) the submitter’s address, telephone number and e-mail address, if any.
Director Attendance at Annual Meetings
      We expect and encourage all of our directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
      We have a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is applicable to all of our employees.

Each of these employment agreements became effective on September 24, 2003 and provide for each officer’s at-will employment which may be terminated at any time for any reason at our or the officer’s option. Under each officer’s agreement, each is entitled to (i) an annual base salary, as set forth in the employment agreement, that is reviewed annually and (ii) a signing bonus as set forth below:

      Seventy-five percent of the signing bonus for each officer was paid in cash or shares of our common stock, as elected by the officer, in 2003, and the remaining 25% of the signing bonus will be paid if the officer is employed by us on September 23, 2005. For those officers who elected to have their signing bonus paid in shares, we agreed to reimburse them in respect of the taxes incurred on the initial signing bonus shares and as well as any taxes on the tax reimbursement.
      In addition, each officer is entitled to participate in our Annual Incentive Compensation Program and has been granted options to purchase shares of our common stock.
      In the event the officer’s employment is terminated by us for cause or terminated by the officer without good reason, he will be entitled to receive his accrued base salary and benefits through the termination date. In the event the officer’s employment is terminated as a result of the officer’s death or disability, the officer or his estate will be entitled to receive his accrued base salary and benefits through the date of termination and any prorated share (based on the period of actual employment) of any bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program that the officer would have been entitled to had he worked the full year during which the termination occurred.
      In the event the officer’s employment is terminated on or prior to September 24, 2005, by the officer for good reason or by us for any reason other than the officer’s death or disability or other than for cause, in exchange for a release as to any and all claims, the officer may have against us and agreement not to compete until the second anniversary of the date of his employment termination, the officer will be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) any unpaid portion of the officer’s signing bonus, (ii) an amount equal to the prorated share of his bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program, (iii) an amount equal to two times the sum of his base salary at the time of termination and target bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program for the year in which such termination occurred, not to exceed $550,000 in the aggregate ($800,000 for Mr. Helwig), and (iv) medical and health insurance benefits for up to twenty-four months. The officer will also be entitled to such severance benefits if, in connection with a change of control transaction or within two years thereafter, the officer’s employment is terminated by the officer for good reason or by us for any reason other than the officer’s death or disability or other than for cause, as long as such officer provides us with a release as to any and all claims the officer may have against us and an agreement not to compete until the second anniversary of the date of his employment termination.

      In the event the officer’s employment is terminated following September 24, 2005 by the officer for good reason or by us for any reason other than the officer’s death or disability or other than for cause, in exchange for a release as to any and all claims, the officer may have against us and an agreement not to compete until the second anniversary of the date of his employment termination, the officer will be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) an amount equal to the prorated share of his bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program, (ii) an amount equal to two times the sum of his base salary at the time of termination and (iii) medical and health insurance benefits for up to twenty-four months.
      Each of the officers’ employment agreements contains confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions effective through the term of the agreement and for a period of two years thereafter if the officer is entitled to severance benefits described above. In addition, in the event the officer’s employment is terminated on or prior to September 24, 2005, by the officer without good reason, he agrees to be bound by the non-competition provisions for a period of one year in exchange for up to one year’s health and insurance coverage. Following the anniversary of the termination date, we may elect to extend the non-competition period for an additional year by (i) paying the officer the difference between his base salary at the time of his termination and the option spread value of his vested shares at the time of his termination and (ii) providing health and insurance coverage for up to an additional year. In the event the officer’s employment is terminated following September 24, 2005, by the officer without good reason, we may elect to extend the non-competition period for up to two years by (i) paying the officer the difference between two times his base salary at the time his termination and the option spread value of the vested shares at the time of his termination and (ii) providing health and insurance coverage for up to an additional two years.
      In connection with the Merger, Terence R. Montgomery and InfraSource Incorporated entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release of Claims. Under the agreement, InfraSource Incorporated agreed to make a change of control payment to Mr. Montgomery in the amount of $657,621, and Mr. Montgomery agreed to release any and all claims under his employment agreement with InfraSource Incorporated.
      On January 27, 2004, Mr. Daily entered into an amendment to cancel 25,419 shares subject to his time-based option agreement. Mr. Daily did not receive any consideration for this cancellation of shares. All of the cancelled shares were reallocated to other employees of InfraSource Underground Services, Inc.
Our Incentive Compensation Plan
      The Compensation Committee has established an incentive compensation plan, which provides a framework for determining corporate and individual goals for all executive officers and creates a pool of potential bonus compensation for employees based upon the Company’s achievement of revenue and profit measures.

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
      Responsibilities of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible to InfraSource’s Board of Directors and to the Company’s stockholders for designing and approving the Company’s compensation programs, approving the performance evaluations and compensation of our executive officers, preparing the CEO’s performance evaluation, and determining the CEO’s compensation. The components of compensation include base salary, annual incentive compensation and equity-based long-term incentive awards. In addition, the Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s compensation and benefits programs generally. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.
      Compensation Philosophy. InfraSource’s compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and motivate managers and employees critical to the Company’s long-term success and the creation of stockholder value. Our philosophy is to link executive compensation to annual and long-term performance goals that are aligned with the creation of stockholder value.
      Our total compensation program for executives is comprised of base salary, annual incentive bonuses and equity-based long-term compensation. In establishing base salary and other cash-based compensation, we consider a number of factors, including data acquired from respected compensation consultants regarding base salary and incentive compensation of other construction and general industry companies. For each bonus-eligible position, we generally establish a bonus target that is defined as a percentage of base salary and that varies based on the position and salary level. For some senior level positions that have a high degree of variable compensation, bonus targets may be established at a level that approaches seventy-five percent of an individual’s annual base salary.
      While surveys are used as reference points in determining salary levels, the Committee uses its judgment on a wide variety of factors including, but not limited to, business unit profitability, labor market conditions and other competitive factors in making compensation decisions. Individual performance, based on established goals and other parameters, is also a key component in the determination of total compensation.
      The Committee commissioned a study of compensation programs in 2003 which was concluded in 2004. This analysis was conducted by Mercer Human Resources Consulting and included an assessment of competitive compensation levels benchmarked with the external market. The results indicated that with the introduction of a long-term incentive program in fiscal 2004, the Company’s mix of compensation components (i.e., base salary, annual incentive bonus, and long-term incentive compensation) is aligned with the competitive market. The Committee also used the study results as one resource in developing pay systems in the Company’s business units that could be used as tools to help ensure internal pay equity and more consistent compensation practices.
      Executive Compensation for Fiscal 2004. Executives receive annual compensation (excluding employee benefits) comprised of base salary and incentive compensation, which is further delineated to include the potential for an annual cash bonus and long-term equity-based awards. Named Executive Officers who are operating company presidents were paid annual incentive compensation based on a weighting of the financial performance of their individual units and on the Company as a whole, a system designed to encourage teamwork between the operating units. For some of these Named Executive Officers, this represented a change from the past practice that had previously compensated them based solely on the financial performance of their business units. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer derived their incentive compensation from overall Company financial performance, as well as their individual performance.
      1) Base Salaries: In setting base salaries, we consider individual experience and responsibilities, as well as individual performance and competitive factors, including the salary surveys of certain competitors for similarly situated employees. Each of the Named Executive Officers is party to a Management Agreement with the Company, described elsewhere in this proxy statement, and base salaries for 2004 were established under the Management Agreements.

16


Table of Contents

      2) Annual Incentive Compensation: Performance-based compensation is a key component of our compensation philosophy. Consistent with our philosophy described above, executive annual incentive compensation was determined based on Company and business unit performance, and in some cases on individual performance factors. For Messrs. Daily, Reiten and Jackson, their bonuses awarded for 2004 were primarily based on Earnings Before Income Taxes (“EBIT”) attainment of their respective business units, subject to adjustments for safety performance and Days Sales Outstanding at their respective business units. Days Sales Outstanding is a measure of our accounts receivable outstanding. The remainder of the bonus compensation for the remaining executives was based on attainment of Company-wide net income goals approved by the Board, subject to adjustments for safety performance and Days Sales Outstanding. Messrs. Helwig and Montgomery had their bonuses awarded based on the attainment of Company-wide net income goals established in advance by the Board, subject to adjustments for safety performance and Days Sales Outstanding.
      3) Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Long-term incentive compensation primarily consists of equity-based awards, which may have performance-based or time-based vesting components. During fiscal 2004, the Company granted stock options to select members of management, including the Named Executive Officers. The purpose of the stock option awards is to align a component of compensation directly to the creation of stockholder value. The recipients of stock options have the right to buy a fixed number of shares of Company common stock at the closing price of such stock on the grant date. The stock options typically vest over four years and have a ten-year term. In accordance with the Company’s compensation philosophy, the Committee considered previous grants made to executives and reviewed survey data regarding long-term incentive targets for similarly situated executives in the marketplace before awarding such grants.
      4) Other Compensation: Executives are eligible to participate in the Company’s retirement and savings plans (401(k), non-qualified deferred compensation plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan) on the same basis as other employees. The Company matches certain employee contributions to its 401(k) savings plan with cash. The Company does not offer any supplemental retirement plan or defined benefit pension plan benefits.
      The Company offers certain executives the use of a car or provides a car allowance.
      CEO Compensation for Fiscal 2004. Mr. Helwig’s base salary was established pursuant to his Management Agreement, based on the criteria and philosophy described in this report. Mr. Helwig’s base salary was not adjusted in 2004. The independent members of the Committee determined Mr. Helwig’s incentive compensation for fiscal 2004 in accordance with the policies described above. The most important factors considered in establishing his incentive compensation were overall Company performance, the Company’s progress on strategic objectives and Mr. Helwig’s individual leadership throughout the year. The Committee gave specific weight to Mr. Helwig’s leadership during our initial public offering process during the first five months of 2004, the work he did to create a performance-based culture, his role in three successful acquisitions and one divestiture in 2004, and his strong focus on safety performance. Based on these factors, we awarded Mr. Helwig total cash compensation of $687,600 for fiscal 2004, comprised of base salary of $387,600 and a cash bonus of $300,000, and non-qualified stock options to acquire 112,186 shares of our common stock. The stock options were granted in May 2004 and vest on a pro-rated time basis over four years.
      Annual CEO Compensation Review. During 2004, we retained Mercer Human Resources Consulting to conduct a benchmarking study and analysis of CEO compensation in our industry. We anticipate using the results of such survey, along with other factors as described above, as part of our compensation program for CEO compensation for fiscal 2005.
      Conclusion. Attracting and retaining talented executives, managers and employees is critical to the growth of the Company and to the building of long-term stockholder value. We believe that InfraSource’s

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Maslonka Acquisition
      On January 27, 2004, InfraSource acquired all of the voting interests of Maslonka & Associates, Inc. (“Maslonka”) for a total purchase price of $83.1 million, which included the issuance of 4,330,820 shares of InfraSource’s common stock, transaction costs and purchase price contingencies. The value of the shares issued to Maslonka stockholders was determined to be approximately $50.7 million. Martin Maslonka, a principal stockholder of InfraSource, received $9,548,640 in cash and 2,407,235 shares of InfraSource common stock. The final purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment and settlement of holdback adjustments to the purchase price in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement. Under the terms of the holdback provisions, InfraSource withheld $6.6 million in cash payable at closing and 957,549 shares of common stock, including $5,940,000 in cash and 532,206 shares relating to Mr. Maslonka. Of the cash holdback amount, $5.5 million is contingent upon Maslonka’s achievement of certain performance targets as well as satisfaction of any indemnification obligations owed to InfraSource, which may be set-off against all other portions of the holdback. InfraSource and the former Maslonka stockholders, including Mr. Maslonka, are currently negotiating resolution of the working capital and holdback adjustments. InfraSource expects these adjustments to be finalized in 2005 and that holdback amounts will be released in 2005 and 2006.
      In January 2004, we sold 5,894,583 shares of our common stock at a per share purchase price of $4.60, for an aggregate purchase price of $27.1 million, to our principal stockholders and 37,367 shares of our common stock at a per share price of $4.60, for an aggregate purchase price of $0.17 million, to two of our executive officers, David R. Helwig and Paul M. Daily. The purpose of these sales was to fund a portion of the cash consideration for our acquisition of Maslonka.
Maslonka Performance Bond
      In connection with the Maslonka acquisition, our principal stockholders secured the issuance of $10.0 million letters of credit. These letters of credit were provided as credit support to enable Maslonka to secure a performance bond on a new project award.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
      The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed InfraSource’s audited financial statements with both InfraSource’s management and InfraSource’s independent registered public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. InfraSource’s management has advised the Audit Committee that the audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
      The Audit Committee has discussed with representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP certain matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, disclosing all relationships between PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and its related entities and InfraSource, and has discussed with representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP from InfraSource and its management. In addition to the information provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit Committee considered the level of non-audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in determining that they were independent.
      Based on the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee has recommended to InfraSource’s Board of Directors that InfraSource’s audited financial statements be included in InfraSource’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH
      The following graph compares the percentage change in cumulative total stockholder return on our common stock since May 7, 2004 with the cumulative total return of the companies included in the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) and the Russell 2000 Index (“Russell 2000”) over the same period. We are using the Russell 2000, which consists of issuers with similar market capitalization, because we do not believe we cannot reasonably identify a peer group with similar business lines that will provide a meaningful comparison. The comparison assumes $100 was invested on May 7, 2004 in the common stock and in each of the indices and assumes reinvestment of dividends, if any, from that date to December 31, 2004. InfraSource has not paid cash dividends on its common stock. Historic stock prices are not indicative of future stock price performance.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
      PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accountants, audited our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to attend the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accountants to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2005. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, aggregate fees billed to InfraSource by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were as follows:
                 
    2004   2003
         
Audit Fees(1)
  $ 2,973,533     $ 546,795  
Audit-Related Fees(2)
    539,187       70,325  
Tax Fees(3)
    126,067       90,139  
All Other Fees
    2,800        
             
Total Fees
  $ 3,641,587     $ 707,259  
             
 
(1)  Audit Fees represent fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements, reviews of our quarterly consolidated financial statements and audit services provided in connection with other statutory or regulatory filings. Audit Fees for 2004 include fees related to our registration statement for the initial public offering.
 
(2)  Audit-Related Fees for the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily included fees for due diligence related to our 2004 acquisitions and for the year ended December 31, 2003 primarily included fees for the audits of benefit plans.
 
(3)  Tax Fees for the year ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 included fees in connection with state tax advisory services for two of our subsidiaries.
      The Audit Committee’s Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Pre-Approval Policy”) provides for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accountant. Under the policy, the Audit Committee may pre-approve specific services, including fee levels, by the independent registered public accountant in a designated category (audit, audit-related, tax services and all other services). The Audit Committee may delegate, in writing, this authority to one or more of its members, provided that the member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report their decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. As of the date of our initial public offering, the Audit Committee adopted the Pre-Approval Policy and all audit, audit-related and tax services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP under engagements arising after the completion of our initial public offering and before December 31, 2004 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires InfraSource’s directors, officers (including persons performing a principal policy-making function), and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of InfraSource’s equity securities (“10% Holders”) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities of InfraSource. Directors, officers and 10% Holders are required by the regulations under the Exchange Act to furnish InfraSource with copies of all of the Section 16(a) reports which they file. Based solely upon a review of the copies of the forms furnished to InfraSource and the representations made by the reporting persons to InfraSource, InfraSource believes that during the year ended December 31, 2004, except for a late Form 4 filing by Paul M. Daily, its directors, officers, and 10% Holders complied with the filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
