Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. Increases Its Regular Quarterly Distribution to $0.18 Per Share

The Board of Directors of Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: MGU) (the “Fund”) unanimously approved on December 7, 2010 a 12.5% increase in the regular quarterly distribution for the period ending December 31, 2010 to $0.18 per share.

“The Fund’s market price return of 10.82% over the fiscal quarter ending November 30th was driven by solid performance by the listed infrastructure sector,” said Mr. Andrew Maple-Brown, Portfolio Manager of the Fund. “The companies in the portfolio are performing well at the operational level. We are seeing impressive volume growth in the transport infrastructure sectors, where a number of companies have reported volumes that are now above their previous (pre-recession) highs. While the economic outlook remains uncertain, the relative stability of infrastructure earnings and higher yield of the sector overall remains attractive for many investors.”

Based on the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) of $20.09 and New York Stock Exchange closing market price of $17.09 on December 6, 2010, the $0.18 per share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 3.58% at NAV and 4.21% at market price, respectively.

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 2010, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the Fund after December 31, 2010.

This distribution will be payable on December 31, 2010 to shareholders of record on December 23, 2010, with an ex-dividend date of December 21, 2010.
