The Board of Directors of Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE:MGU) (the “Fund”) approved on August 11, 2010 a special distribution of $0.40 per share.

The Fund bases its quarterly distributions, in part, on good faith estimates of both current income for the year as well as any “spillover” income from the prior year. In connection with the recent completion of the Fund’s prior year tax returns, the Fund determined that its actual income in 2009 exceeded its estimates due to the sale of US Master Limited Partnership (“MLP”) interests and business income associated with the MLPs. The special distribution is attributable to this income, a portion of which is required to be distributed in order for the Fund to maintain its status as a regulated investment company under the tax code.

The special distribution is not intended to be in lieu of the Fund’s regular quarterly distribution, which will be considered by the Board of Directors in September.

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

This special distribution will be payable on September 30, 2010 to shareholders of record on September 23, 2010, with an ex-dividend date of September 21, 2010.
