MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE TOTAL RETURN FUND DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION

NEW YORK, September 6, 2006 – Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: MGU) (the “Fund”) yesterday declared its regular quarterly distribution for the period ending September 30, 2006 of $0.40 per share.

Based on the Fund’s net asset value of $26.81 and New York Stock Exchange closing price of $24.60 on September 1, 2006, the $0.40 per share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 5.97% at NAV and 6.50% at market price respectively. 

Mr Jon Fitch, the Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said “MGU continues to focus on securities of infrastructure issuers that the manager believes have demonstrated strong strategic positions in their respective businesses and the manager views as able to generate sustainable and growing cashflow streams”. Mr Fitch further commented that the manager remains positive about the growth prospects for the infrastructure sector and the investment opportunities that the sector presents.

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.

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 by the fund after December 31, 2006.

This distribution will be payable on September 29, 2006 to shareholders of record on September 15, 2006, with an ex-dividend date of September 13, 2006.
