Shareholders Rights Directive II

Under Rule 2.2B.5R of the Conduct of Business Sourcebook in the FCA Rules, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (Europe) Limited (the "Firm" or “MIRAEL”) when investing on behalf of investors in shares traded on a regulated market, is required either to develop and publicly disclose an engagement policy as described in the revised Shareholder Rights Directive (the “SRD II”) or publicly disclose a clear and reasoned explanation of why it has chosen not to develop and adopt a shareholder engagement policy.

The Firm is an investment manager which manages a number of wholesale investment fund vehicles established to pursue investment opportunities predominantly in the infrastructure sector in Europe. The majority of these fund vehicles target assets with core infrastructure characteristics including providing essential services to the community with sustainable and predictable cashflows over the long term with relatively limited exposure to the economic cycle. In all such fund vehicles, the Firm seeks to make investments in portfolio companies where the fund vehicle has with sufficient influence over the key strategic, commercial and financial decisions of each portfolio company for so that the Firm to be is able to utilise its expertise and capability to contribute to the success of the investment. As such, the Firm rarely invests in listed equity securities, and if it does, this is typically with the objective of taking such company listed equity issuer private. MIRAEL has established stewardship practices for its fund vehicles and regularly communicates with its investors.

The Firm is generally supportive of the objectives that underlie the SRD II. However, the Firm does not consider it appropriate to adopt a shareholder engagement policy as described by SRD II. Furthermore, the Firm has determined that, given the above strategy, it would be impractical for the Firm to have active engagement with company management or participate in the proxy voting process. In addition, the Firm believes that the operational cost and time involved in such activities would outweigh any potential benefit to the trading strategies deployed by the Firm on behalf of its clients.
