The Board of Directors of Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE:

) declared on March 8, 2012, a regular quarterly distribution for the period ending March 31, 2012 of $0.24 per share. This represents an increase of 20% or $0.04/share over the previous distribution and 50% or $0.08/share over the distribution for the third quarter of 2010. “We are delighted to be able to increase the distribution. We reduced the distribution back in 2008 when it was prudent to do so. We have been able to increase the distribution several times since then. This further increase is driven by the ongoing improved market conditions and lower borrowing costs,” said Mr. Andrew Maple-Brown, Portfolio Manager of the Fund. “It is prudent to pass that benefit through to our shareholders.”
