Statement Pursuant to Section 19(a) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940
On December 29, 2017, the Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total
Return Fund (NYSE: MGU) (the “Fund”), a closed-end fund, paid a
quarterly distribution on its common stock of $0.3700 per share to
shareholders of record at the close of business on December 15,
2017.
The following table sets forth the estimated
amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the related
rules adopted thereunder. The Fund estimates the following
percentages, of the total distribution amount per share,
attributable to (i) current and prior fiscal year net investment
income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net
realized long-term capital gain and (iv) return of capital or other
capital source as a percentage of the total distribution amount.
These percentages are disclosed for the current distribution as
well as the fiscal year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per
share for the Fund.

The amounts and sources of distributions
reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and not for tax
reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the
amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s
investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and
may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will
send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you
how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Subject to the foregoing, the Fund estimates (as of the date
hereof) that it has distributed more than its income and net
realized capital gains for the fiscal year ending November 30,
2017; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of
capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or
all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you.
A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the
Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with
‘yield’ or ‘income.’
Presented below are return figures, based on
the change in the Fund’s Net Asset Value per share (“NAV”),
compared to the annualized distribution rate for this current
distribution as a percentage of the NAV on the last business day of
the month prior to distribution record date.

*Cumulative fiscal year-to-date return is based
on the change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming
reinvestment of these distributions for the period December 1, 2016
through November 30, 2017.
**The 5 year average annual total return is
based on change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming
reinvestment of these distributions and is through the last
business day of the month prior to the month of the current
distribution record date.
The payment of dividend distributions in
accordance with the distribution policy may result in a decrease in
the Fund’s net assets. A decrease in the Fund’s net assets may
cause an increase in the Fund’s annual operating expenses and a
decrease in the Fund’s market price per share to the extent the
market price correlates closely to the Fund’s net asset value per
share. The distribution policy may also negatively affect the
Fund’s investment activities to the extent that the Fund is
required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would hold
or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it
would not have sold, for the purpose of paying the dividend
distribution. The distribution policy may, under certain
circumstances, cause the amounts of taxable distributions to exceed
the amount minimally required to be distributed under the tax
rules, such excess will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent
loss carry forwards reduce the required amount of capital gains
distributions in that year. The Board of Directors has the right to
amend, suspend or terminate the distribution policy at any time.
The amendment, suspension or termination of the distribution policy
may affect the Fund’s market price per share. Investors should
consult their tax advisor regarding federal, state, and local tax
considerations that may be applicable in their particular
circumstances.
While the NAV performance may be indicative of
the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of
a shareholder’s investment in the Fund. The value of a
shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s
market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the
Fund’s shares in the open market. Shareholders should not draw
any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the
amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed
Distribution Plan.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors reviews the amount of any
potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital
available. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the
Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net
asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund’s
distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of
Directors at any time. The distribution rate should not be
considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in
the Fund.
The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. An
investment in the Fund involves risks, and the Fund may or may not
be able to achieve its investment objective for a variety of
reasons. The following summarizes some of the Fund’s risks but does
not purport to be a complete listing of all of the risks. Investors
should carefully review the Fund’s Prospectus and consult their own
advisers.
Adviser Risk. MCIML, the Fund’s adviser, is an investment
adviser with limited investment history or track record. The Fund
is further dependent on Co-Portfolio Managers Jonathon Ong and Brad
Frishberg. There is no guarantee an adequate replacement could be
found for MCIML should Co-Portfolio Managers Jonathon Ong’s and/or
Brad Frishberg’s services no longer be available. The Fund is also
subject to risk because it is an actively managed portfolio.
Industry Concentration and Infrastructure Industry Risk. The Fund
will be concentrated in the infrastructure industry, and will be
more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences
affecting that industry than a fund that is not concentrated in a
specific industry. Non-U.S. Investment Risk. A majority of the
Fund’s investments will be in non-U.S. issuers and a substantial
portion of the trades executed for the Fund will take place on
foreign exchanges. Investments in securities and instruments of
non-U.S. issuers involve certain considerations and risks not
ordinarily associated with investments in those of U.S. issuers.
Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to non-US investment risk,
investments in emerging markets may expose the Fund to heightened
risks that may be more volatile than investments in developed
markets. Use of Derivatives and Hedging. The Fund may use
derivatives and employ a variety of hedging techniques. Derivatives
can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses and may
have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Certain
of the investment techniques that the Fund may employ for hedging
or to increase income or total return will expose the Fund to
additional risks. Leverage Risk. The Fund expects to employ
leverage as part of its investing strategy. The use of leverage
will increase the volatility of the Fund and increase risk to
investors. Any difficulty in maintaining the Fund’s leverage could
cause a diversion of cash flow and/or require liquidation of some
portion of the Fund’s portfolio. Restrictions imposed as a result
of any leverage may directly or indirectly inhibit the Fund’s
ability to take actions that otherwise may be taken in an
unleveraged portfolio of similar assets.
