16 November 2005 Highlights:
16 November 2005, Singapore – Macquarie International Infrastructure Fund Limited (MIIF) today announced that it would issue approximately 450 million new shares in MIIF at a price of S$0.96 per share. This follows a Special General Meeting held on 10 November 2005 at which shareholders passed a resolution approving the issue of up to 500 million new shares for the purpose of the Equity Fund Raising (EFR). Following the EFR, which would be used in part to fund proposed asset acquisitions, investors could expect to receive a higher dividend per share (DPS). According to a recent revised dividend guidance, MIIF announced a forecast DPS of 3.1 cents for 2H 2005 and 3.95 cents for 1H 2006, implying an annualised yield of 8.2%1 for 2006. Mr Gregory Osborne, Managing Director of MIIF’s manager, said: “Following the near unanimous backing from shareholders for the EFR and acquisitions, we expect to see strong support for the placement from both retail and institutional investors. “To date, MIIF has performed extremely well delivering dividends at the high end of the forecast range. With the acquisition of high quality, yield-accretive assets, the portfolio should continue to deliver attractive yields that compare very favourably with those of similar vehicles in the market. The portfolio will also benefit from enhanced sectoral and geographical diversification."
