NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: MGU - News) (the “Fund”) declared today a regular quarterly distribution for the period ending June 30, 2009 of $0.16 per share.
Based on the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) of $15.49 and New York Stock Exchange closing market price of $12.76 on June 10, 2009, the $0.16 per share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 4.13% at NAV and 5.02% at market price, respectively.
Mr. Justin Lannen, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund, said: “As credit and equity markets begin what we expect to be a slow recovery, the Fund has started to benefit from the long-term valuation opportunities in global infrastructure securities that were created by the volatile markets of the last 18 months. Throughout this period, the infrastructure assets owned and/or operated by the Fund’s holdings have generated mostly predictable and reliable cash flows and their operational performance has generally met our expectations.”
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 2009, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the Fund after December 31, 2009.
This distribution will be payable on June 30, 2009 to shareholders of record on June 22, 2009, with an ex-dividend date of June 18, 2009.
