Macquarie Infrastructure Company, Co-Investor in Bulk Liquid Storage Terminal Business Jointly Agree to Confirmation of Arbitration Award

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Macquarie Infrastructure Company (NYSE: MIC) announced that the Company and its co-investor in International-Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT), have jointly agreed to an order confirming an arbitration award issued on March 30, 2012. The Delaware state court granted the order on May 25, 2012.

The order confirms a previously announced $221.2 million arbitration award, $110.6 million of which is payable to MIC. The arbitration and resulting award resolved a dispute between MIC and its co-investor over distribution of dividends by IMTT to its shareholders for the five quarters ending December 31, 2011.

MIC has previously indicated that it expects to use the arbitration award from IMTT to increase its quarterly shareholder dividend. The precise timing and amount of any future dividend, including an increase resulting from the receipt of the arbitration award proceeds, will depend on the continued stable performance of the Company's businesses, the economic conditions prevailing at the time of any authorization, the timing of the receipt of cash from IMTT, compliance by the Company's co-investor with the dividend provisions of the IMTT Shareholders' Agreement in the future, and authorization by the MIC board of directors.
