(NYSE: MGU) (the “Fund”) yesterday declared its regular quarterly distribution for the period ending December 31, 2006 of $0.40 per share. Based on the Fund’s net asset value of $29.37 and New York Stock Exchange closing price of $27.37 on December 5, 2006, the $0.40 per share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 5.45% at NAV and 5.85% 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. In addition, the Fund declared a special annual distribution of $0.50 per share relating to additional short term capital gains earned on the sale of portfolio securities during the year. Mr. Jon Fitch, the Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said “MGU continues to be underpinned by infrastructure companies that we believe have established solid strategic positions in their businesses and are able to deliver both sustainable and growing cash yields to the portfolio”. 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. 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 2006, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the fund after December 31, 2006. These distributions will be payable on December 29, 2006 to shareholders of record on December 15, 2006, with an ex-dividend date of December 13, 2006.
