Media releaseMACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE TOTAL RETURN FUND DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONNEW YORK, September 6, 2007 – Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: MGU) (the “Fund”) yesterday declared its regular quarterly distribution for the period ending September 28, 2007 of $0.40 per share. Based on the Fund’s net asset value of $32.69 and New York Stock Exchange closing price of $29.99 on September 5, 2007, the $0.40 per share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 4.89% at NAV and 5.34% 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. Jon Fitch, Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said “The MGU portfolio is comprised of a range of global companies which own and operate infrastructure assets. Such assets, including roads, airports, water networks, wind farms and gas pipelines are essential for both established and developing economies alike. Infrastructure and utility assets are difficult to replicate, indispensable to the societies in which they operate and accordingly afford many strategic and competitive advantages.” “The Manager remains positive about the future of infrastructure investments, both in terms of existing asset growth and new investment opportunities,” said Mr Fitch. 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 2007, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the fund after December 31, 2007. This distribution will be payable on September 28, 2007 to shareholders of record on September 20, 2007, with an ex-dividend date of September 18, 2007.
