NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Board of Directors of Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE:MGU) (the Fund) approved on December 6, 2011, a regular quarterly distribution for the period ending December 31, 2011 of $0.20 per share, an increase of $0.02/share over the previous distribution.

The infrastructure companies in the portfolio have generally performed largely in line with our expectations, said Mr. Maple-Brown, Portfolio Manager of the Fund. The Fund returned -1.85% over the last fiscal quarter, slightly trailing the -1.65% return for global equities*. We continue to see material upsides in many infrastructure stock prices, and the large swings in market sentiment and prices in recent months have provided some opportunities to purchase quality infrastructure companies at attractive prices.

Based on the Funds net asset value (NAV) of $18.06 and New York Stock Exchange closing market price of $15.43 on November 29, 2011, the $0.20 per share distribution is equal to an annualized distribution rate of 4.43% at NAV and 5.18% 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 2011, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made by the Fund after December 31, 2011.

This distribution will be payable on December 30, 2011 to shareholders of record on December 22, 2011, with an ex-dividend date of December 20, 2011.
