Media releaseMACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE TOTAL RETURN FUND DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONBased on the Fund’s net asset value of $29.40 and New York Stock Exchange closing price of $27.95 on June 2, 2008, the $0.40 per share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 5.44% at NAV and 5.72% at market price, respectively. The $0.40 per share quarterly distribution reflects a distribution policy of the Fund intended to provide shareholders with a relatively stable cash flow. This policy may be changed or discontinued without notice to investors. Mr. Justin Lannen, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said: “The underlying operational performance of the Fund’s holdings have been sound and in line with our expectations. However, share price performance has been impacted by the heightened levels of volatility in global equity and debt markets this year to date. This volatility has provided opportunities to selectively acquire shares of quality infrastructure stocks at attractive price levels. The portfolio is focused on assets that provide essential services to many users. These assets have defined or predictable revenues and are typically strategically well positioned. Such assets provide relatively defensive earnings through economic cycles. We believe the Fund is well positioned to weather a potential further slowdown in global economic growth." A portion of the distributions 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 2008, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the Fund after December 31, 2008. This distribution will be payable on June 30, 2008 to shareholders of record on June 16, 2008, with an ex-dividend date of June 12, 2008.
