Media releaseMACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE TOTAL RETURN FUND DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONNEW YORK, March 2, 2006 –Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: MGU) (the “Fund”) today declared its regular quarterly distribution for the period ending March 31, 2006 of $0.375 per share. Mr Jon Fitch, the Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said “We remain optimistic about the growth potential for the infrastructure sector and the range of current and potential investment opportunities that the sector presents. There are a number of global trends that we believe make the current environment attractive for investment in infrastructure stocks that should assist the Fund in pursuing its objective to provide a high level of total return consisting of dividends and other income and capital appreciation. We believe that MGU continues to provide U.S. investors with an attractive vehicle to access the expanding global universe of infrastructure securities.” Based on the Fund’s Net Asset Value of $24.54 and New York Stock Exchange closing price of $22.69 on March 1, 2006, the distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 6.1% at NAV and 6.6% at market price respectively. A portion of the distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain and return of capital. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2006, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made after year-end. The $0.375 per share quarterly distribution reflects a level dividend distribution policy of the Fund intended to provide shareholders with a relatively stable cash flow. The policy may be changed or discontinued without notice. The distribution will be payable on March 31, 2006 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2006, with an ex-dividend date of March 13, 2006. Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment return and market value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original costs. About Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.
