Forward-looking information

This website is not an offer or invitation for subscription or purchase of or a recommendation of securities. It does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of the investor. Before making an investment in Macquarie Power and Infrastructure Corporation (“MPIC” or the “Company”), the investor or prospective investor should consider whether such an investment is appropriate to their particular investment needs, objectives and financial circumstances and consult an investment adviser if necessary.

None of the entities noted in this news release is an authorized deposit-taking institution for the purposes of the Banking Act 1959 (Commonwealth of Australia). The obligations of these entities do not represent deposits or other liabilities of Macquarie Bank Limited ABN 46 008 583 542. Macquarie Bank Limited does not guarantee or otherwise provide assurance in respect of the obligations of these entities.

Certain of the statements contained in this website are forward-looking and reflect management’s expectations regarding MPIC’s future growth, results of operations, performance and business based on information currently available to MPIC. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future and readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These statements use forward-looking words, such as “anticipate”, “continue”, “could”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “estimate”, “believe” or other similar words, and include, among other things, statements related to the Company’s dividend policy.

The forward-looking statements in this website are based on information currently available and what the Company currently believes are reasonable assumptions, including the material assumptions for each of the Company’s assets set out in the 2009 Annual Report of its predecessor entity, Macquarie Power & Infrastructure Income Fund (“MPT”), under the heading “Outlook” on page 42, as updated in subsequently filed Quarterly Financial Reports of MPT and MPIC (such documents are available on the Canadian Securities Administrators’ System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com). Other material factors or assumptions that were applied in formulating the forward-looking statements contained herein include the assumption that the business and economic conditions affecting MPIC’s operations will continue substantially in their current state, including, with respect to industry conditions, general levels of economic activity, regulations, weather, taxes and interest rates and that there will be no unplanned material changes to MPIC’s facilities, equipment or contractual arrangements, and that the acquisition of the district heating business (“DH Business”) will be completed in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement.

Although the Company believes that it has a reasonable basis for the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements, actual results may differ from those suggested by the forward-looking statements for various reasons, including risks related to: power infrastructure (operational performance; power purchase agreements; fuel costs and supply; contract performance; development risk; technology risk; default under credit agreements; land tenure and related rights; regulatory regime and permits; environmental, health and safety; climate change and the environment; force majeure; the Company (tax-related risks; variability and payment of dividends by MPIC, which are not guaranteed; geographic concentration and non-diversification; dependence on Macquarie Power Management Ltd. (“MPML” or the “Manager”) and potential conflicts of interest; insurance; environmental, health and safety regime; availability of financing; international financial reporting standards, shareholder dilution; and unpredictability and volatility of the common share price of MPIC. There are also a number of risks related to the Company’s proposed investment in the DH Business, including: general business risks inherent in the district heating business; geographic concentration; minority interest; government regulation; termination of supply and customer contracts; possible failure to complete the acquisition; enforcement of indemnities against the vendors of the DH Business; environmental health and safety liabilities; liability and insurance; and reliance on key personnel.

For a more comprehensive description of these and other possible risks, please see MPT’s Annual Information Form dated March 25, 2010 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as updated in subsequently filed Quarterly Financial Reports and other filings of MPT and MPIC with the Canadian securities regulators. These filings are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The assumptions, risks and uncertainties described above are not exhaustive and other events and risk factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect current expectations of the Company as at the date of this fact sheet and speak only as at the date of this website. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
