PROXY STATEMENT
For Annual Meeting of Shareholders

VOTING INSTRUCTION AND INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC to be held on Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 11:00 a.m., at the Hilton New York, 1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019 and for any adjournments or postponements of the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The notice of Annual Meeting, proxy statement and proxy are first being distributed to shareholders on or about April 19, 2010.

Purpose of Meeting

As described in more detail in this proxy statement, shareholders will vote on the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

the election of independent directors to our board of directors to serve for a one-year term that expires at our 2011 Annual Meeting (Proposal 1); and,
the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 (Proposal 2).

Internet and Electronic Availability of Proxy Materials

As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or the Notice, to shareholders who hold LLC interests in “street name” through a bank, broker or other holder of record. All such shareholders will have the ability to access this proxy statement and our 2009 annual report on a website referred to in the Notice or to request a printed set of these materials at no charge. Instructions on how to access these materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice.

We first made available the proxy solicitation materials at https://materials.proxyvote.com/55608B on or around April 19, 2010 to all shareholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Our 2009 annual report was made available at the same time and by the same methods.

Any beneficial owner may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. If you hold your LLC interests through a bank, broker or another financial institution, refer to the information provided by that entity for instructions on how to elect this option. Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to shareholders and will reduce the impact of annual meetings on the environment. A shareholder’s election to receive proxy materials by mail or email will remain in effect until the shareholder terminates it.

Procedure for Attending and Voting at the Annual Meeting

All shareholders must bring an acceptable form of government-issued identification, such as a driver’s license, in order to attend our Annual Meeting in person. If you hold LLC interests in “street name” and would like to attend our Annual Meeting, you will also need to bring an account statement or other acceptable evidence of ownership of LLC interests as of the close of business on April 8, 2010, the record date for our Annual Meeting or a valid “legal proxy,” which you can obtain from your broker, bank or other financial institution through which you hold your LLC interests. If you are voting on behalf of another person, including a legal entity, in addition to the above, we must also have received by 5:00 p.m. (EDT) on June 2, 2010 a duly executed proxy from the shareholder of record or beneficial owner appointing you as proxy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Voting by Proxy

In addition to voting in person, as described above, shareholders of record and beneficial owners who hold LLC interests in “street name,” can vote by proxy in any of the following ways:

By Internet.  The web address for Internet voting can be found on the enclosed proxy card. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day.
By Telephone.  The number for telephone voting can be found on the enclosed proxy card. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day.
By Mail.  Complete, sign, date and return the proxy card supplied by your broker, bank or other financial institution through which you hold your LLC interests.

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR VOTE BY PROXY NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M. (EDT) ON JUNE 2, 2010. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR PROXY BY THAT TIME, YOUR PROXY WILL NOT BE VALID. IN THIS CASE, UNLESS YOU ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING, YOUR VOTE WILL NOT BE REPRESENTED.

The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded properly. We have been advised that the Internet and telephone voting procedures that have been made available to you are consistent with the requirements of applicable law. Shareholders voting by Internet or telephone should understand that, while neither we nor any third party proxy services provider charge fees for voting by Internet or telephone, there may nevertheless be costs, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, which must be borne by the shareholder.

Your proxy will be voted as you direct in your proxy. Proxies returned without voting directions, and without specifying a proxy to attend the Annual Meeting and vote on your behalf, will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board. Our board recommends:

a vote FOR each of the three nominees for independent director to serve for a one-year term that expires at our 2011 Annual Meeting (Proposal 1); and,
a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 (Proposal 2).

If any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, your proxies will vote on that matter in their discretion.

Revocation of Proxy

You may revoke or change your proxy before the Annual Meeting by:

subsequently executing and mailing a new proxy card that is received on a later date and no later than the deadline specified on the proxy card;
if you are a beneficial owner, subsequently submitting a new proxy by Internet or telephone that is received by the deadline specified on the proxy card;
giving written notice of revocation to the attention of Michael Kernan, General Counsel and Secretary, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, 125 West 55th Street, New York, New York 10019, that is received no later than 5:00 p.m. (EDT) on June 2, 2010; or
voting in person at our Annual Meeting.

If you need an additional proxy card and are a record holder, contact Michael Kernan, our General Counsel, at 212-231-1849; if you are a beneficial owner, contact your bank, broker or other financial institution through which you hold LLC interests.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Approval of Proposals and Solicitation

Each shareholder who owned LLC interests on April 8, 2010, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, is entitled to one vote for each LLC interest. On April 8, 2010, we had 45,431,868 LLC interests issued and outstanding that we believe were held by 90 holders of record representing approximately 16,000 beneficial holders.

Quorum

Under the third amended and restated operating agreement of the Company, which we refer to as the LLC agreement, the shareholders present in person or by proxy holding a majority of the outstanding LLC interests entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC. Holders of LLC interests are the only shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. LLC interests represented by proxies that are marked “abstain” or that are represented by broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when the broker holding LLC interests for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power to vote on that proposal without specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Proposal 2 described in this proxy is a “discretionary” item.

If the persons present or represented by proxies at the Annual Meeting do not constitute a majority of the holders of outstanding LLC interests entitled to vote as of the record date, we will postpone the Annual Meeting to a later date.

Approval of Proposals

Election of Directors.  For the election of directors (Proposal 1), the affirmative vote of at least a plurality of the votes cast on such proposal is required. The LLC agreement provides that shareholders are entitled, at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, to vote for the election of all of the directors other than the director, and alternate therefore, appointed by our Manager. You may vote FOR or AGAINST any or all director nominees or you may ABSTAIN as to one or more director nominees. An abstention will not be counted as a vote cast. A broker non-vote would also not be counted as a vote cast.

Ratification of the Appointment of the Independent Auditor.  For the ratification of the independent auditor (Proposal 2), the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast on such proposal is required. An abstention will not be counted as a vote cast. A broker non-vote would also not be counted as a vote cast.

Other Matters.  Any other proposal that properly comes before the Annual Meeting must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast.

All votes will be tabulated by Broadridge Financial Services, the proxy tabulator and inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting. Broadridge Financial Services will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

Ensuring Your Vote Counts

Under rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, if you are a beneficial owner and hold your LLC interests in “street name,” you must give your bank, broker or other holder of record specific voting instructions for your LLC interests by the deadline provided in order to ensure your LLC interests are voted in the way you would like.

If you do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other holder of record, whether your LLC interests can be voted by such person depends on the type of item being considered for vote.

Non-Discretionary Items.  Proposal 1, the election of directors, is a “non-discretionary item” and may not be voted on by brokers, banks or other holders of record who have not received specific voting instructions from beneficial owners. If you do not provide specific voting instructions, your LLC interests will be recorded as a broker non-vote and will not be counted as a vote cast.

Discretionary Items.  Proposal 2, the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditor, is a “discretionary item” and brokers, banks or other holders of record can vote your LLC interests on the ratification of the independent auditor in their discretion unless they receive specific voting instructions from you.

Solicitation of Proxies

We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, printing and mailing of this proxy statement and the proxy card. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by certain employees of the Macquarie Group by telephone, telegraph or other means. These employees will receive no additional compensation for such solicitation. The Company will reimburse brokers and other nominees for costs incurred by them in mailing proxy materials to beneficial holders in accordance with the rules of the NYSE.

Delivery of Documents to Shareholders Sharing an Address

If you are the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of LLC interests, the broker, bank or other financial institution through which you hold your LLC interests may only deliver one copy of this proxy statement and our 2009 annual report to multiple shareholders who share an address unless that nominee has received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. We will deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered a copy of this proxy statement and our 2009 annual report. A shareholder who wishes to receive a separate copy of the proxy statement and annual report, now or in the future, should submit this request by writing to Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, Attn: Investor Relations 125 West 55th Street, New York, NY 10019, or by calling 212-231-1825. If you are a beneficial owner and would like to receive a separate copy of this proxy statement and our 2009 annual report, please contact the broker, bank or other financial institution through which you hold your LLC interests. Beneficial owners sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of proxy materials and annual reports and who wish to receive a single copy of such materials in the future will also need to contact their broker, bank or other financial institution to request that only a single copy of each document be mailed to all shareholders at the shared address in the future.

PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Election of Directors

Three directors will be elected at this Annual Meeting and will serve a term that expires at our 2011 Annual Meeting. Each of Messrs. Brown, Carmany and Webb has been nominated for re-election.

The following biographies highlight the qualifications and experience of our directors and our alternate chairman, and support the nomination and governance committee’s determination that these individuals are particularly qualified to serve on our board. The three nominees for election at the Annual Meeting are listed first.

Norman H. Brown, Jr. has served as a director of the Company since December 2004. He currently serves as a Member and Senior Managing Director of Brock Capital Group LLC, which provides investment banking services for early stage and middle market companies, a position he has held since December 2003. Mr. Brown’s previous experience comprises over 30 years of experience in the investment banking business. During 2002 and 2003, Mr. Brown attended to private investments. From December 2000 to December 2001, he was Managing Director and Senior Advisor for Credit Suisse First Boston in the Global Industrial & Services Group with new business development responsibility for Latin America. During Mr. Brown’s 15 years at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, from June 1985 to December 2000, he was a member of the Mergers & Acquisitions Group, established and headed the Restructuring Group, and headed the Global Metals & Mining Group. Until December 2009, Mr. Brown was the lead independent director for W.P. Stewart & Co. Growth Fund, Inc.

Mr. Brown brings in-depth knowledge of financial markets and broad leadership experience to our board of directors, through his long tenure in the financial industry. His prior work and expertise in mergers and acquisitions and debt restructurings has allowed him to provide valuable advice on our past acquisitions and our recent efforts to strengthen our balance sheet. Mr. Brown’s experience as an independent director and lead director for other companies provides him with unique insight on corporate governance matters, which he has shared with our Company.

George W. Carmany, III has served as a director of the Company since December 2004. Since 1995 he has served as President of G.W. Carmany and Co., Inc., which advises developing companies in the life sciences and financial services industries. Mr. Carmany is a Director of SunLife Financial, Inc. and Senior Advisor to EnGeneIC Pty Ltd. and Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. From 1999 to 2001 he served as Chairman and Chief Executive of Helicon Therapeutics and continued to serve as Chairman of Helicon Therapeutics through August 2005. From 1996 to 1997, he also served as Chairman of the New England Medical Center Hospitals. Mr. Carmany’s previous experience includes over 20 years at the American Express Company, where he held senior positions in its international banking, corporate, and asset management divisions, and nine years at Bankers Trust Company.

Mr. Carmany is an experienced executive, and he adds an important dimension to our board’s expertise through his considerable financial literacy and his work in advising developing companies. Mr. Carmany’s experience and background allows him to provide oversight and advice on financial reporting and accounting matters. As an advisor to developing companies, Mr. Carmany encounters and advises on a range of business, legal, risk management and financial issues. This experience has been valuable as our board has worked with our management team to address issues and manage risks arising out of the financial crisis and the economic recession.

William H. Webb has served as a director of the Company since December 2004. He has served as a member of the board of directors of Pernod Ricard S.A. since May 2003. Mr. Webb’s previous experience includes over 35 years in managing businesses of the Philip Morris group (now comprising Altria Group, Inc., Philip Morris International Inc. and Kraft Foods Inc. following the spin-off of Kraft Foods and Philip Morris International from the Altria Group) around the world. Mr. Webb was Chief Operating Officer for Philip Morris Companies Inc. in New York between May 1997 and August 2002. He also served as Vice Chairman of the board of directors of Philip Morris from August 2001 to August 2002. Mr. Webb has been a consultant to the Altria Group since his retirement from Philip Morris in August 2002.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mr. Webb’s experience in senior management and on the board of large public companies allows him to participate meaningfully in overseeing our Manager’s activities and in providing useful advice to our management team. His role as a director of other public companies allows him to inform our board as to corporate governance issues and trends and to act as an effective lead independent director for our Company. Mr. Webb uses his management experience to help our board and management fashion our business strategy, identify risks and oversee risk management and address key challenges, such as those our Company faced due to the economic downturn and tightening of credit markets.

John Roberts has been a director of the Company since April 2004 and the chairman of the board of directors since December 2004. Mr. Roberts joined Macquarie in 1991 and, since 2003, has been the Global Head of Macquarie Capital’s Funds business. Mr. Roberts is either on the Investment Committee or a Director (or Alternate Director) of the Macquarie specialist funds that own and manage interests in Infrastructure, Roads, Airports, Utilities, Media, Retirement facilities, Private Equity, Industrial businesses, and Real Estate. The Macquarie Capital Funds are located and invest in North America, Europe and Asia, and the emerging markets of India, Mexico, Russia and China. Mr. Roberts has more than 27 years of banking and finance experience, and provides both oversight and strategic expertise to Macquarie’s investment and business management teams.

Mr. Roberts brings valuable business, strategic and operational expertise to our board of directors through his years of leadership within the Macquarie Group. As a result of his significant experience with managing infrastructure businesses and infrastructure funds, he is able to advise our board on industry trends and developments, identify business opportunities and risks and to actively participate in crafting our business strategy. As a highly regarded and well-known leader within the industry, Mr. Roberts’ service on our board enhances the reputation of our Company.

Stephen Mentzines has served as alternate chairman of the Company since November 2007. Mr. Mentzines joined the Macquarie Group in 1998 and has been working in the Macquarie Capital Group since that time, with broad-ranging business management and operations responsibility. He spent the first three years principally involved in corporate leasing and lending and, from 2001 to November 2007, he worked within the Macquarie Capital Funds group as its Chief Operating Officer. As Global Chief Operating Officer of the Macquarie Capital Funds group, Mr. Mentzines had responsibility for new funds development, including the development of the Macquarie Capital Funds business in the Middle East, capital raisings and management, operations, finance, legal, compliance, tax and structuring, investor relations, communications and public affairs activities. Since November 2007, Mr. Mentzines has been the Head of the North American Macquarie Capital Funds business which manages nine managed vehicles and over 30 businesses. Mr. Mentzines is currently a director of the Macquarie Power & Infrastructure Income Fund and serves on the investment committees for four of the Macquarie Group’s North American unlisted managed vehicles.

Mr. Mentzines brings extensive knowledge of the industry and its regulatory environment from his tenure in various leadership positions within the Macquarie Group. His understanding of the Group’s international operations and new business development makes him well-placed to provide strategic direction and industry insight to our Company. Mr. Mentzines’ service on the investment committees of Macquarie Group managed vehicles affords him insight as to the valuation of infrastructure assets, which assisted our board in the process of examining strategic alternatives for our airport parking business and sale of a minority interest in District Energy.

Recommendation of the Board

Our board recommends that you vote FOR the election of each of Messrs. Brown, Carmany and Webb to our board as directors for a term ending at our 2011 Annual Meeting. An affirmative vote of at least a plurality of the votes cast on Proposal 1 is required to elect Messrs. Brown, Carmany and Webb.

PROPOSAL 2:
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

General

Our board has recommended and asks that you ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditor for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. You would be so acting based on the recommendation of our audit committee.

KPMG LLP was engaged by us following our initial public offering in December 2004 to audit our annual financial statements for the 2004 fiscal year and was appointed by our audit committee and ratified by shareholders to audit our annual financial statements for each subsequent fiscal year. Based on its past performance during these audits, the audit committee of the board has selected KPMG LLP as our independent auditor to perform the audit of our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting for 2010. KPMG LLP is a registered public accounting firm.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP. If you do not ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, our board will reconsider its selection of KPMG LLP and may, but is not required to, make a new proposal for an independent auditor.

Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to questions.

Fees

The chart below sets forth the total amount paid or payable by us to KPMG LLP in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years indicated below and the total amounts billed to us by KPMG LLP for other services performed in those years, breaking down these amounts by category of service:

   
  2009   2008
Audit Fees(1)   $ 2,545,500     $ 3,168,500  
Audit-Related Fees(2)     155,000       237,500  
Tax Fees(3)           6,957  
Total   $ 2,700,500     $ 3,412,957  

(1) “Audit Fees” are fees paid to KPMG LLP for professional services for the audit of our consolidated financial statements included in our annual reports on Form 10-K and the audit of our internal control over financial reporting as well as the review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The amount for 2009 and 2008 includes fees related to the audit and review of District Energy, of which we own a 50.01% controlling interest. Audit fees incurred by District Energy will continue to be included in our consolidated results.
(2) “Audit-Related Fees” are fees billed by KPMG LLP for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, including in connection with attestation reports on fees paid to our Manager and in connection with our operating businesses and the audit of our 401(k) Plan. The amounts do not include fees related to the audit of IMTT, our 50% equity investment. Audit-related fees for IMTT were $345,000 in 2008 and are expected to be approximately $350,000 for 2009.
(3) “Tax Fees” represent fees for the preparation of state amended returns for Atlantic Aviation in 2008.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The audit committee has established policies and procedures for its appraisal and approval of audit and non-audit services. The audit committee has the sole authority to pre-approve any audit and non-audit services to be provided by any registered public accounting firm. The audit committee has delegated to the chairman of the committee the authority to approve additional audit and non-audit service of KMPG LLP and any additional accounting firms. The delegation is limited to an aggregate of $50,000 in fees at any one time outstanding and not ratified by the audit committee, and confirmation of compliance with independence

standards. The audit committee or its chairman has pre-approved all of the services provided by KPMG LLP since its engagement. All other audit-related, tax and other engagements may be approved by the audit committee prospectively.

In making its recommendation to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, the audit committee has considered whether the services provided by KPMG LLP are compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP and has determined that such services do not interfere with KPMG LLP’s independence.

Recommendation of the Board

Our board recommends that, based on the recommendation of the audit committee, you vote FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP to serve as the independent auditor for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

GOVERNANCE INFORMATION

Our board of directors, which we sometimes refer to as our board, is responsible for managing and directing the business and affairs of our Company. Our board of directors is responsible for establishing broad objectives and the general course of the business, determining basic policies, appraising the adequacy of our overall results, and generally representing and furthering the interests of our shareholders.

Board Leadership Structure

Our current board leadership structure is comprised of a chairman and an alternate chairman, each of who is not a member of management but is appointed by our Manager, and three independent directors who satisfy NYSE independence standards, one of whom serves as our lead independent director. We believe that this leadership structure is appropriate at this time given our externally-managed corporate structure and the benefits that this structure provides to our shareholders by combining our Manager’s knowledge of infrastructure businesses with independent oversight of our Manager’s activities.

Our board’s chairman and alternate chairman are appointed by our Manager pursuant to the management services agreement. Our board’s chairman presides over meetings of the board of directors and meetings of shareholders, prepares the agenda for meetings of our board of directors with input from our other directors and performs such other duties as may be assigned by our board of directors. Our alternate chairman fulfills the duties of our chairman if he is absent. Because our chairman and alternate chairman are appointed by our Manager but are not members of our management team, they are able to draw upon their extensive knowledge of infrastructure businesses and provide a strategic perspective on our business activities.

The remainder of our board of directors consists of independent directors who satisfy NYSE independence standards. These directors have served on our board since our IPO and have helped guide our Company as it has grown and faced challenges. These directors are familiar with the complexities of our business and its unique attributes. Additionally, our independent directors are skilled and experienced leaders with significant and varied life and business experience outside of our Company. These experiences provide them with the background, skills and experience to actively oversee how our Manager is running our business, to advise on complex issues and to challenge assumptions, which they have done since our IPO. The oversight function provided by our independent directors is enhanced because all of our board committees consist solely of and are chaired by independent directors.

In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, we have selected a lead independent director. Currently, William Webb serves in this position. Our lead independent director presides at executive sessions of our independent directors, which occur at least quarterly and more often as our independent directors deem appropriate.

Our Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors is responsible for overseeing our Company’s risk management. It discharges this responsibility directly and through its committees.

Our board of directors and its committees regularly review material enterprise, strategic, operational, legal and compliance risks with senior management of the Company and our Manager. Our board of directors is responsible for endorsing the Company’s risk management framework including key policies and procedures and approval of any changes to the framework or any key risk policies and procedures; monitoring compliance with the risk management framework and delegating authority to management, where appropriate. On a regular basis, the board is presented with risk and compliance reports from management and compliance personnel directly responsible for the identification, evaluation and monitoring of risks within the business.

As part of the monitoring process, the board or the appropriate committee is provided with the following information at scheduled board meetings: any proposed changes to the risk management framework, key policies and procedures or reporting arrangement for its approval; reports on exposures, non-compliance with key policies and general effectiveness of risk management system, as appropriate; results of independent reviews or audits of the control environment; and the relevant management information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our board of directors has delegated responsibility for the oversight of certain specific risks to board committees as follows:

Audit Committee:  The audit committee is responsible for an annual review of our Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The audit committee has primary responsibility for overseeing risk policies and processes relating to the financial statements and financial reporting, as well as overseeing management of our legal and regulatory risks and our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our audit committee is primarily responsible for assessing the adequacy our internal control framework including accounting and operational risk management controls based on information provided or obtained from management. Our audit committee is responsible for reviewing and monitoring our code of ethics and conduct to guard against significant conflicts of interest and dishonest, unethical or illegal activities.The audit committee periodically reviews the performance of the Company’s accounting and financial personnel and reviews material litigation and regulatory proceedings and other issues relating to potentially significant corporate liability with the Company’s general counsel.

While our board oversees risk management, the Company’s management is responsible for managing risk.

Board Composition and Independence

Our board of directors consists of four directors, three of whom are elected by shareholders of the Company. The remaining director, our chairman, currently John Roberts, is appointed by our Manager under the terms of our management services agreement. Stephen Mentzines was appointed as an alternate chairman by our Manager under the terms of the management services agreement. The three directors elected by shareholders are elected for a one-year term. Norman Brown, George Carmany and William Webb were previously elected as directors by our shareholders at our 2009 Annual Meeting. Their terms expire at this Annual Meeting. The board is composed of a majority of independent directors. In accordance with the listing standards of the NYSE, to be considered independent, the board must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with the Company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company, and that the director meets other NYSE independence standards. Mr. Webb maintains a private banking relationship with Macquarie Bank Limited, or MBL, an affiliate of our Manager, in an amount that is immaterial to MBL. The board has determined that this relationship is immaterial to a determination of director independence. As a result, the board has determined that each director other than Mr. Roberts and Mr. Mentzines, as Mr. Roberts’ alternate, is independent under the NYSE standards.

Certain Information Regarding Our Directors and Executive Officers

The name and age of each director, including the alternate chairman, and each executive officer and the positions held by each of them as of March 31, 2010 are as follows:

Board Meetings and Committees

Our board met ten times in total in 2009. All directors attended at least 75% of the combined board and committee meetings on which they served in 2009, except for Mr. Webb, whose level of attendance was discussed and approved by the board in light of Mr. Webb’s medical conditions during 2009 that have been subsequently resolved. In addition, it is the policy of our board that our directors are expected to use reasonable efforts to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of our directors attended our 2009 Annual Meeting.

The LLC agreement gives our board the authority to delegate its powers to committees appointed by the board. All of our committees are composed solely of independent directors. Our committees are required to conduct meetings and take action in accordance with the directions of the board, the provisions of our LLC agreement and the terms of the respective committee charters. We have three standing committees: the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee. Our audit committee charter and nominating and corporate governance committee charter, each of which was amended on April 13, 2010, are included as Exhibits A and B, respectively, to this proxy statement. Copies of all committee charters, including the nominating and corporate governance committee charter, are available on our website at www.macquarie.com/mic under “Investor Center/Governance,” and in print from us without charge upon request by writing to Investor Relations at our principal executive offices at 125 West 55th Street, New York, New York 10019. The information on our website is not, and shall not be deemed to be, incorporated by reference into this proxy statement or incorporated into any other filings that the Company makes with the SEC.

Audit Committee.  The audit committee is comprised entirely of independent directors who meet the independence requirements of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and includes at least one “audit committee financial expert,” as required by applicable SEC regulations. The audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

retaining and overseeing our independent accountants;

overseeing compliance with our code of ethics and conduct by our officers and directors; and
serving as a qualified legal compliance committee.

Messrs. Brown, Carmany and Webb serve on our audit committee, and the board has determined that both Mr. Brown and Mr. Carmany qualify as audit committee financial experts as defined by the SEC. The audit committee met eleven times during 2009.

Compensation Committee.  The compensation committee is comprised entirely of independent directors who meet the independence requirements of the NYSE. In accordance with the compensation committee charter, the members are “outside directors” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The responsibilities of the compensation committee include:

reviewing our Manager’s performance of its obligations under the management services agreement;
reviewing the remuneration of our Manager;
determining the compensation of our independent directors; and
granting rights to indemnification and reimbursement of expenses to the Manager and any seconded individuals.

Our compensation committee may delegate any of its authority and duties described above to subcommittees or individual members of the committee, as it deems appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, our board of directors has adopted a policy pursuant to which it has delegated authority to make decisions relating to compensation plans and agreements (other than long-term incentive compensation or equity plans) to members of the Company’s senior management, or where appropriate, to the boards of directors of our individual businesses. This delegation of authority applies with respect to employees of our operating businesses, who are not members of the Company’s senior management.

The compensation committee has not engaged compensation consultants to provide advice with respect to the form or amount of director compensation. The form and amount of director compensation was established prior to our initial public offering and has not changed.

Messrs. Brown, Carmany and Webb serve on our compensation committee. The compensation committee met five times during 2009.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  The nominating and corporate governance committee is comprised entirely of independent directors who meet the independence requirements of the NYSE. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

recommending the number of directors to comprise the board of directors;
identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the board of directors, other than our Manager’s appointed director and his alternate, and soliciting recommendations for director nominees from the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our compensation committee are, or have been, an employee of the Company. During 2009, no member of our compensation committee had any relationship with the Company requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of the Company’s executive officers or members of the Company’s board of directors has served as a member of a compensation committee (or if no committee performs that function, the board of directors) of any other entity that has an executive officer serving as a member of the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee.

Executive Sessions of Our Board

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that the non-management directors will meet without management directors at regularly scheduled executive sessions at least quarterly and at such other times as they deem appropriate. To the extent that any non-management directors are not independent, the independent directors will meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at least once annually. In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, the lead independent director, or alternatively, the chairman of the audit committee, nominating and corporate governance committee or compensation committee, will preside at these executive sessions of the non-management directors as determined by the non-executive directors based upon the subject matter to be discussed. Mr. Webb presided, and continues to preside, over these sessions. Our non-management directors met at least eight times during 2009.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Ethics and Conduct

Our board has adopted corporate governance guidelines that set forth our corporate governance objectives and policies and govern the functioning of the board. We also have a code of ethics and conduct that sets forth our commitment to ethical business practices. Our code of ethics and conduct applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our chief executive officer and senior financial officers, and also applies to our Manager, its employees and any affiliates of our Manager that perform management services for us pursuant to the management services agreement.

Our corporate governance guidelines and our code of ethics and conduct are available on our website at www.macquarie.com/mic under “Investor Center/Governance” and in print from us without charge upon request by writing to Investor Relations at Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, 125 West 55th Street, New York, New York 10019.

Minimum Shareholding Guidelines

Our board, upon the recommendation of our nominating and corporate governance committee, has adopted stock ownership guidelines to align the interests of our non-management directors with the interests of our shareholders. Non-management directors are required to hold LLC interests with a value equal to $300,000, based on the closing price of the LLC interests on the NYSE on the later of the date of adoption of the policy and the date such director is first elected or appointed to the board. Non-management directors have up to five years to meet these requirements provided that LLC interests with a value of at least $50,000 should be owned within the first year. Our non-management directors are each in compliance with this policy.

Nominations of Directors

As provided in its charter, the nominating and corporate governance committee will identify and recommend to the board nominees for election or re-election to the board. The committee will review candidates for the board recommended by the Company’s management and other members of the board who are not members of the committee, as well as candidates recommended by shareholders, in accordance with the following criteria and as discussed in “Shareholder Nominations of Directors” below.

The nominating and corporate governance committee, in making its recommendations, may consider some or all of the following factors, among others:

the candidate’s judgment, skill, diversity and experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight;
the relationship of the candidate’s experience to the experience of other board members;

13


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the extent to which the candidate would be a valuable addition to the board and any committees thereof;
whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, including any business, financial or family relationships with the Manager or the Company’s management; and
the candidate’s ability to contribute to the effective management of the Company, taking into account the needs of the Company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills, and knowledge of the industry in which the Company operates.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee aims to achieve a board of directors that, as a whole, provides effective oversight of the management and business of our Company. Therefore, the committee believes that our directors should represent an appropriate diversity of experience, expertise, skills, specialized knowledge and other qualifications and attributes that provide for a variety of viewpoints. We believe that a director nominee should not be chosen or excluded solely or largely because of race, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, or sexual orientation or identity.

In recommending candidates for election as directors, the nominating and corporate governance committee will also take into consideration the need for the board of directors to have a majority of directors that are independent under the requirements of the NYSE and other applicable laws, and at least three directors that are independent under these requirements and are not appointed by the Manager pursuant to the terms of the management services agreement or otherwise affiliated with our Manager or the Macquarie Group.

In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee will recommend candidates for election as directors based on the following criteria and qualifications:

Financial Literacy.  Such person should be “financially literate” as such qualification is interpreted by the board of directors in its business judgment.
Leadership Experience.  Such person should possess significant leadership experience, such as experience in business, finance/accounting, law, education or government, and shall possess qualities reflecting a proven record of accomplishment and ability to work with others.
Commitment to Our Company’s Values.  Such person shall be committed to promoting our financial success and preserving and enhancing our reputation as a leader in the infrastructure sector, and shall be in agreement with our values as embodied in our code of ethics and conduct.
Absence of Conflicting Commitments.  Such person should not have commitments that would conflict with the time commitments of a director of our Company.
Complementary Attributes.  Such person shall have skills and talents which would be a valuable addition to the board and any committees thereof and that shall complement the skills and talents of our existing directors.
Reputation and Integrity.  Such person shall be of high repute and integrity.

Under the corporate governance guidelines, directors must inform the chairman of the board and the chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee in advance of accepting an invitation to serve on another public company board or any committee thereof. In addition, no director may sit on the board, or beneficially own more than 5% equity interest in (other than through mutual funds or similar non-discretionary, undirected arrangements) any competitor of the Company in our principal lines of business.

Shareholder Nominations of Directors

To make a director nomination, a shareholder must give written notice to our Secretary at our principal executive office at 125 West 55th Street, New York, New York 10019. To be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholder nominations must be received by the Company no later than February 2, 2011.

14


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

When directors are to be elected at a special meeting, such notice must be given not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which a public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the board to be elected at such meeting.

In addition to any other requirements, for a shareholder to properly bring a nomination for director before either an annual or special meeting, the shareholder must be a shareholder of record on both the date of the shareholder’s notice of nomination and the record date relating to the meeting.

The shareholder submitting the recommendation must submit:

the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on the share register of the Company, as well as the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made;
the number of LLC interests which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner, if any; and
a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons pursuant to which the recommendation is being made by the shareholder.

In addition, any such notice from a shareholder recommending a director nominee must include the following information:

the candidate’s name, age, business address and residence address;
the candidate’s principal occupation or employment;
the number of LLC interests that are beneficially owned by the candidate;
a copy of the candidate’s resume;
a written consent from the candidate to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as director, if elected; and
any other information relating to such candidate that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors under the federal securities laws, including Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We may require any proposed nominee to furnish any additional information that we reasonably require to enable our nominating and corporate governance committee to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as a director. Candidates are evaluated based on the standards, guidelines and criteria discussed above as well as other factors contained in the nominating and corporate governance committee’s charter, our corporate governance guidelines, other of our policies and guidelines and the current needs of the board.

On June 4, 2009, each independent director was granted 42,735 director LLC interest units, resulting in an aggregate grant of 128,205 director LLC interest units. These director LLC interest units, which equal $150,000 per director divided by the average price for the ten business days preceding the grant date, being $3.51 per director LLC interest unit, vest on the day immediately preceding our 2010 annual meeting of shareholders. Upon vesting of the director LLC interest units, each director has the right to receive 42,735 LLC interests, which had a market value of $524,786 based on the per share closing sale price on the NYSE of our LLC interests on December 31, 2009. These are the only equity grants by the Company to directors that were outstanding at December 31, 2009.

We do not compensate Mr. Roberts or Mr. Mentzines for their service as chairman and alternate chairman of our board of directors, respectively.

Independent Directors Fees

Our independent directors each receive annual cash retainers of $50,000 for service on the board, payable in equal quarterly installments, as well as cash compensation for attendance at committee meetings and an annual retainer for service as committee chairman. The independent directors’ equity plan provides for automatic, non-discretionary awards of director LLC interest units as an additional fee for the independent directors’ services on the board. Directors (including the chairman and the alternate chairman appointed by our Manager) are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the board of directors or committees and for any expenses reasonably incurred in their capacity as directors and alternate chairman, respectively. The Company also reimburses directors for all reasonable and authorized business expenses in accordance with the policies of the Company as in effect from time to time. Our chairman and the alternate chairman appointed by our Manager do not receive any compensation for service on our board.

Messrs. Brown, Carmany and Webb have been independent directors since the closing of our initial public offering in December 2004. Each member of the Company’s various standing committees also receives the following compensation related to service on these committees:

for attending a committee meeting in person (if any): $3,000 for each meeting of the audit committee; $2,000 for each meeting of the nominating and corporate governance committee; and $2,000 for each meeting of the compensation committee; and
for attending a telephonic committee meeting (if any): $1,500 for each meeting of the audit committee; $1,000 for each meeting of the nominating and corporate governance committee; and $1,000 for each meeting of the compensation committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Independent Directors’ Equity Plan

The Company’s independent directors’ equity plan provides for automatic, non-discretionary awards of director LLC interest units as an additional fee for the independent directors’ services on the board. The purpose of this plan is to promote the long-term growth and financial success of the Company by attracting, motivating and retaining independent directors of outstanding ability.

Only independent directors may participate in the plan. Three of our directors, Messrs. Brown, Carmany and Webb, are eligible to participate in the plan. The chairman of the board of directors administers the plan. If the chairman is eligible for any awards under the plan, the plan will be administered by the most senior member of the board with respect to length of service who is not eligible for any awards under the plan. The administrator has the authority to adopt rules and regulations that he or she considers necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the plan and to interpret the plan. The administrator may also delegate some or all of his or her authority under the plan to an officer of the Company.

On June 4, 2009, each independent director received 42,735 director LLC interest units. These units will vest on the day immediately preceding the 2010 Annual Meeting. In addition, each independent director nominee will be eligible to receive, upon election, a grant of director LLC interest units equal to $150,000 divided by the average of the closing sale price on the NYSE of one LLC interest during the ten-day period immediately preceding the date of our 2010 Annual Meeting. Generally, units granted at each annual meeting of shareholders will vest (assuming continued service of the director) on the day immediately preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders held following the date of grant.

If a director’s service on the board terminates by reason of death or disability or in the event of a business combination (as defined in the Company’s LLC agreement) of the Company during the director’s service, the director LLC interest units will vest immediately.

We credit director LLC interest units to a bookkeeping account. No interest or dividends accrue or are credited to any director LLC interest units or the director’s account. As soon as practicable following vesting, we will settle director LLC interest units by delivering to the director the equivalent whole number of LLC interests. Units cannot be settled in cash or any other kind of consideration. Prior to settlement, directors do not have the rights of a shareholder in any LLC interest corresponding to the director units.

The plan will expire on December 15, 2014, which is the tenth anniversary of the date on which the plan was approved by shareholders. The administrator may amend or terminate the plan at any time. However, the administrator may not amend the plan without a director’s consent if the amendment would adversely affect the director’s rights to previously granted awards.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

General

Our Company has a management services agreement with our Manager, a member of the Macquarie Group. The management services agreement defines our Manager’s duties and responsibilities and is subject to the oversight and supervision of our Company’s board of directors. Our Manager is responsible for the conduct of our Company’s day-to-day business and affairs and is entitled to receive base and potentially performance fees for the provision of its services. These fees are set forth below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” The Macquarie employees who serve as our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have been assigned, or seconded, to us by our Manager and they have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of our Company. While these employees derive profit share allocations from Macquarie there is a strong alignment of interest between these employees and our shareholders for the following reasons:

Our Company pays management and potentially performance fees to Macquarie in accordance with the management services agreement. Management fees are linked to market capitalization of our Company and performance fees can be paid based on the ongoing out-performance of our Company relative to a utilities benchmark.
Macquarie holds a significant interest in our Company and has reinvested its fees in our Company’s shares. At March 31, 2010, Macquarie had an 8.0% interest in our Company.
The staff of Macquarie’s advisory group understand that the relationship with Macquarie-managed entities is a long-term and recurring one and important to Macquarie’s welfare as a whole. They take a long-term approach to adding value in connection with the managed entities rather than solely focusing on the fees that would result from any one transaction.
The compensation system adopted by Macquarie, discussed in detail below, links the compensation of our executive officers to our performance.

We do not pay any compensation to our executive officers. Instead, we pay our Manager the management fees and potentially performance fees discussed above. The Company does not have any employees. James Hooke, our chief executive officer, Todd Weintraub, our chief financial officer and Peter Stokes, our former chief executive officer, are employed by Macquarie and are or were seconded to us on a permanent, wholly-dedicated basis. Under our management services agreement, the services performed for the Company by our Manager are provided at its expense, including all of the compensation of our seconded executive officers.

James Hooke was appointed as our chief executive officer effective May 9, 2009, but joined Macquarie effective September 17, 2007. Todd Weintraub has served as our chief financial officer since November 25, 2008. Compensation information for Mr. Hooke has been provided for the entire fiscal 2009 year. Peter Stokes resigned from his position as our chief executive officer effective May 8, 2009. Mr. Stokes remains employed by Macquarie as an executive director in Australia. The purpose of this compensation discussion and analysis is to provide our investors with information about the components of the compensation paid to our executive officers by Macquarie, and the policies and objectives served by Macquarie’s compensation program.

Objectives of Macquarie’s Compensation Program

The elements of the compensation program for our executive officers derive from the general program established for employees of Macquarie. Macquarie’s approach to compensation is designed to drive shareholder returns over the short and long term, both for Macquarie shareholders as well as for shareholders of the entities managed by Macquarie such as holders of our LLC interests.

Macquarie’s compensation program endeavors to drive shareholder returns by focusing on two main objectives. The first objective is to align the interest of staff and shareholders. The second objective is to attract and retain high quality staff.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Macquarie aims to grow total returns for its shareholders by aligning the interest of staff and shareholders by motivating staff through its compensation policy to increase Macquarie’s net profit after tax, while sustaining a high relative return on capital. Growing net profit after tax and sustaining a high return on capital are fundamental drivers of total shareholder returns for Macquarie shareholders. These twin objectives encourage executives to expand existing businesses and establish promising new activities.

Fees derived from entities managed by Macquarie represent part of Macquarie’s net profit after tax. Management fees earned by Macquarie under our management services agreement are based on the market capitalization of our Company and performance fees are based on ongoing out-performance over a utilities benchmark. As a result, incentives designed to drive Macquarie’s net profit after tax also serve to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders.

Macquarie also endeavors to attract high quality executives and to retain them by offering a competitive performance-driven compensation package that encourages long-term commitment to Macquarie and Macquarie-managed entities and to superior performance. We believe that our ongoing performance is critically dependent on the skill, experience and caliber of Macquarie’s team of experienced executives, such as our executive officers, for whose services Macquarie must compete in the world’s major financial centers.

Six key principles in Macquarie’s compensation approach assist with the objective of driving shareholder returns by aligning the interests of staff and shareholders and by attracting and retaining high quality staff:

Providing compensation arrangements which are competitive on a global basis with Macquarie’s peers;
Ensuring a significant amount of compensation is at risk and solely dependent on performance. In the case of our executive officers, performance is assessed with reference to the performance of our Company, including the performance of our underlying businesses;
Creating a profit share pool that is linked to the key drivers of Macquarie’s shareholder returns, namely Macquarie’s profitability and return on equity in excess of the cost of capital, which is linked to our market performance through the calculation of the management and performance fees;
Providing for staff equity awards that create identification with Macquarie’s shareholder interest;
Providing consistency over time to ensure staff have the confidence that efforts over multiple years will be rewarded; and
Providing retention and deferral arrangements that encourage a long-term commitment to Macquarie and hence to its shareholders.

In addition, a portion of profit share is retained and notionally invested in the stock of Macquarie- managed entities, in the case of executive directors, including Mr. Stokes, to further align executive directors’ interests with those of shareholders.

Responsibility for Macquarie’s Compensation Program

The board of directors of Macquarie, or the Macquarie board, has established a Board Remuneration Committee, or the BRC, whose objective is to assist the Macquarie board with Macquarie’s compensation policies and practices. The BRC approves all individual compensation and profit share recommendations for executive directors, including Mr. Stokes, all individual promotion equity grants to staff, other compensation recommendations made outside of Macquarie’s policy relating to individuals or groups of individuals (unless required to be approved by the Macquarie board), material changes to pension arrangements, and changes to compensation policies not requiring full Macquarie board approval.

Responsibility for the determination of individual compensation and profit share recommendations for division directors and associate directors, such as James Hooke and Todd Weintraub, respectively, rests with the Head of the Macquarie Capital Group and the Head of the Macquarie Corporate Affairs Group, respectively. These recommendations are subject to review by Macquarie’s Remuneration and Promotions Committee, a committee of Macquarie management. The recommendations are ultimately approved by the BRC, individually in the case of promotion equity grants and in aggregate in the case of fixed remuneration changes and profit share allocations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Based on a review of the analyses and conclusions regarding executive director compensation provided by the Macquarie BRC in 2009, the non-executive directors of the Macquarie board determined that for executive directors, including Mr. Stokes, compensation was appropriate and that it was structured in a way that encouraged the overall objective of driving short and longer term shareholder returns of Macquarie by aligning the interest of executive directors with those of shareholders and by attracting and retaining high quality staff.

Changes to Macquarie’s Compensation Program

In March 2009, Macquarie announced changes to its remuneration approach consistent with emerging global trends. Macquarie sought and received shareholder approval of these changes at a General Meeting on December 17, 2009.

The key features of the revised remuneration arrangements are:

implementation of a new employee share plan — the Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan (“MEREP”) — as part of the retention arrangements;
changes to the executive director retention arrangements; and
suspension of the use of options as a component of compensation.

Elements of Macquarie’s Revised Compensation Program

Macquarie’s executive compensation program now consists of two elements: fixed compensation and annual profit share. We describe each of these below.

Fixed Compensation

Fixed compensation for our named executive officers consists of annual base salary. It also includes the following additional benefits that Macquarie believes are customarily provided by employers in the United States: life insurance, accidental death, disability and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, medical, dental and vision coverage and matching employer contributions under Macquarie’s 401(k) retirement plan.

Annual base salary takes into consideration the role of the individual and market conditions. However, fundamental to Macquarie’s compensation philosophy is the principle that a significant amount of the compensation be at risk and dependent upon performance.

Annual Profit Share

Macquarie has profit share arrangements for staff such as Mr. Hooke, Mr. Weintraub and Mr. Stokes to encourage superior performance. Each year the profit share pool is determined by reference to Macquarie’s net profit after tax and excess return over the cost of capital for the period from April 1 of the prior year to March 31 of the year in which profit share is determined. The proportion of after tax profit and the proportion of earnings in excess of Macquarie’s cost of capital that are incorporated in the profit share calculation are reviewed at least annually. The profit share pool is allocated to business groups based primarily on their relative contributions to profits taking into account capital usage and risk.

The portion of the profit share pool for each group is then allocated to individuals within that group on a discretionary basis. The effect of this profit sharing is to provide substantial incentives in relation to superior performance, but low or no participation for less satisfactory performance. Superior performance looks at a range of indicators that go beyond financial performance, including leadership and upholding Macquarie’s goals and values. For senior executives, this means that a large part of their remuneration each year is performance-based and “at risk,” providing significant alignment of their interests with those of Macquarie shareholders and, through the fee incentives in our management services agreement, our shareholders.

Our executive officers participate in the profit share pool. The profit share pool allows Macquarie to reward all staff who has contributed to the growth of Macquarie-managed entities. The profit share pool also creates incentives for, and encourages long-term commitment among, executives working in the interests of

20


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Macquarie-managed entities that may experience some short-term market underperformance or other short-term declines in profitability due to macroeconomic factors or other extraordinary circumstances, even though the underlying assets may be performing well.

The level of profit share received by our executive officers is based predominantly on their individual contribution to the performance of our Company, taking into account the following elements:

operational performance of our underlying businesses;
management and leadership of our Company and the businesses under the control of our Company;
acquisitions and the subsequent management of those businesses to ensure performance is in line with the acquisition business plans;
effective capital management; and
factors relating to enhancing Macquarie’s and the Company’s reputation and track record.

There is no formulaic approach to determining our executive officers’ share of the profit share pool. It is completely discretionary and is determined based upon the recommendation of the Head of the Macquarie Capital Group in the case of Mr. Hooke and Mr. Stokes and the head of the Macquarie Corporate Affairs Group in the case of Mr. Weintraub, taking into account the factors outlined above as well as input from the Company’s independent directors regarding the performance of our executive officers.

Our executive officers’ profit share was determined with respect to Macquarie’s fiscal years ended March 31 of each year and therefore does not reflect subsequent events or our performance for the remainder of each year.

For Macquarie’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the Head of the Macquarie Capital Group made a recommendation in relation to Mr. Hooke and Mr. Stokes’s profit share to Macquarie’s chief executive officer and the BRC based on the factors outlined above. Recommendations for Mr. Stokes took into account the following specific factors:

the growth in available cash in our underlying businesses;
the effective management and leadership of the operation of our Company and our underlying businesses;
the acquisitions and divestitures of businesses and growth in existing businesses;
degree of success in optimizing the capital structure of our Company and businesses, including:
successful refinancings and repayment of long-term debt;
successful equity offerings; and
the performance during the period of our LLC interests compared to utilities index benchmarks used in determining performance fees payable to our Manager.

Recommendations for Mr. Hooke related to his performance prior to being appointed our chief executive officer took into account his managing director role in the Macquarie Capital Funds division. Mr. Hooke was most responsible for corporate development and management of a portfolio company investment for Macquarie Infrastructure Partners Inc., the manager of two unlisted infrastructure funds responsible for investing and managing approximately $5.5 billion of investor commitments across a range of North American infrastructure businesses. Mr. Hooke was also responsible for the management of several portfolio company investments for other Macquarie affiliates and clients, such as Macquarie Advanced Investment Partners, L.P., Macquarie Global Opportunities Partners L.P. and third party Australian pension funds. Factors considered in determining Mr. Hooke’s profit share for 2009 were his effective management and leadership of the operations of the operating businesses mentioned above and successful capital management, debt negotiations and equity contributions for these businesses.

21


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Recommendations also took into account Mr. Hooke’s and Mr. Stokes’s role in maintaining and growing the reputation and brand awareness of the Company and Macquarie as a leading manager and owner of infrastructure investments in North America.

The specific factors considered in determining Mr. Stokes’s profit share for 2007 and 2008 reflect the successful operation of our businesses during the period, accretive acquisitions completed at Atlantic Aviation and the integration of these acquisitions into our existing businesses to create a stronger national service platform. Mr. Stokes’s positive leadership was evident in the Company’s capital management during the period, with an equity raising of $240.0 million and debt refinancings taking place at Atlantic Aviation, The Gas Company and at IMTT. With the strong performance of the Company relative to its peer group through March 31, 2008, significant earnings were achieved by the Manager through a combination of base and performance fees. This, combined with Macquarie’s own overall profitability, enabled increased remuneration to be paid to Mr. Stokes.

Mr. Stokes’s profit share for 2009 reflects the impact of the global financial crisis. This has resulted in a decrease in business activities for our businesses and their customers, a decrease in opportunities for acquisitions and refinancing activities at the businesses and decreased operating results.

The specific factors considered in determining Mr. Weintraub’s profit share for 2008 and 2009 include his leadership of the finance function of our Company, including coordination of internal controls over financial process and management of the internal and external audit function, his development and leadership of our finance team and the finance teams of our operating businesses, coordination and management of compliance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s requirements for regular reporting, as well as his stewardship of the Company’s accounting function, including staff management, identification and resolution of accounting issues and implementation of and compliance with new accounting standards.

Profit share determinations are made for each of our executive officers individually and not with reference to the compensation of our other executive officer.

Retained Portion of Profit Share

Deferral and restriction arrangements apply to a portion of allocated profit share to encourage a long-term perspective and commitment from Macquarie employees, including our executive officers. It also encourages alignment with the longer-term interest of shareholders.

As noted above, Macquarie made changes to its compensation arrangements in 2009. The amounts retained from executive director profit share from 2009 and future years will be invested in a combination of Macquarie shares (in the new employee share plan referred to as the MEREP) and notionally invested in Macquarie-managed funds (through the DPS Plan (now referred to as “the Post-2009 DPS Plan”)). For employees other than executive directors, amounts retained from profit share allocations for 2009 and future years will be invested in Macquarie shares through the MEREP. A summary of the revised retention arrangements are set out in the table below.

The Directors’ Profit Share (“DPS”) Plan

As described above, Macquarie made changes to its compensation program in 2009 and these were approved by Macquarie’s shareholders in December 2009. Prior to these changes, the DPS Plan applied to the staff at executive director level, including Mr. Stokes (now referred to as “the Pre-2009 DPS Plan”). Under the Pre-2009 DPS Plan, 20% of each executive director’s annual directors’ profit share was withheld, subject to a retention cap limiting the total amount of the automatic deferrals under the plan. The retention cap was equal to two times the executive director’s average annual base compensation plus gross directors’ profit share allocation over the five most recent years. The amounts retained under the DPS Plan begin to vest after five years of service as an executive director and fully vest after 10 years of service. Vested amounts are released to an executive director at the earlier of the executive director ceasing employment and the end of a ten-year period following the retention date (subject to certain disqualifying events). Therefore, assuming continued employment, there is a continuous rolling ten years of profit share retention.

Under the Pre-2009 DPS Plan, all retained directors’ profit share for executive directors of Macquarie, including Mr. Stokes, was notionally invested in one or more funds or vehicles managed by Macquarie. These investments are described as “notional” because the executive directors do not directly hold securities in relation to these investments. However, the value of the retained amounts would vary as if these amounts were directly invested in actual securities. In Mr. Stokes’s case, all 2006 profit share retention was notionally invested in trust stock of Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust (the “Trust”) (or LLC interests following the dissolution of the Trust) as of July 1, 2006. On July 1, 2007 and 2008, his profit share retention for 2007 and 2008, respectively, was notionally invested in a portfolio of securities managed by the Macquarie Capital

Group that did not include our LLC interests. This change in allocation was made to ease the burdens in relation to the short swing profit rules under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended.

The Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan (“MEREP”)

The role of the MEREP is to deliver remuneration in the form of Macquarie Group Limited equity (ASX:MQG). Equity awards through the MEREP, in the U.S., will generally be in the form of units comprising a beneficial interest in Macquarie shares held in a trust in the form of Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”). The participant will be entitled to receive dividends on the shares and direct the Trustee how to exercise voting rights on the shares. For retained profit share relating to 2009, the conversion price was publicly announced by Macquarie on May 1, 2009 to be the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) from May 4, 2009 up to and including the date of the 2009 annual meeting of Macquarie shareholders, which was held on July 29, 2009 (referred as the “2009 Macquarie shareholders meeting”). The VWAP during that period was AUD $36.36.

Profit share retention arrangements also apply to division directors and associate directors such as Mr. Hooke and Mr. Weintraub, respectively, under Macquarie’s profit share arrangements. Under these arrangements, 25% of any annual profit share allocation above AUD $50,000 (USD $44,895 as of December 31, 2009) is retained and invested in Macquarie shares through the MEREP. These equity awards through the MEREP will vest and be released on the first day of the first staff trading window after July 1, on the second, third and fourth anniversary of the initial profit share allocation.

Profit share retained pre-2009, will continue to be held in cash and vests and is paid out in three equal installments: two, three and four years from the retention date. Notional interest is paid on retained profit share. In the event that an employee ceases employment with Macquarie, any retained profit share allocation that has not vested to them is forfeited, except at the discretion of the board, the BRC or the Executive Committee on delegation from the BRC.

Option Grants

As noted above, option grants under the Macquarie Group Employee Share Option Plan have been suspended and equity awards are now delivered through the MEREP. All prior year options grants will continue to vest according to the previously established schedules.

Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits

The employment contracts with each of our current executive officers are ongoing and provide for termination of employment by Macquarie or the executive after giving two or four weeks notice, as applicable. Macquarie sponsors a severance plan for U.S.-based staff that it believes is comparable to plans typically offered by U.S. employers. The MEREP, DPS Plan (both Pre-2009 and Post-2009), Macquarie’s profit share arrangements and the Macquarie Group Employee Share Option Plan also have specific provisions relating to termination events as described under “Executive Compensation — Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” below.

(1) Mr. Hooke was appointed chief executive officer effective May 9, 2009, although he joined Macquarie effective as of September 17, 2007. Compensation information for Mr. Hooke has been provided for the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
(2) Mr. Stokes resigned from his position as chief executive officer effective May 8, 2009 after serving 5 years as chief executive officer of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC. Mr. Stokes remains employed by Macquarie as an executive director in Australia. Compensation information above reflects all compensation for the period through May 8, 2009.
(3) Bonus refers to profit share allocations, including the portion that was retained and invested in the DPS Plan for Mr. Stokes, but exclusive of awards through the MEREP. For Mr. Hooke, an additional $26,270 for 2009 was retained and invested in Macquarie shares through the MEREP, and this equates to 1,034 restricted share units. For Mr. Stokes, $28,000 bonus amount reported in the above table was invested in the Post-2009 DPS Plan. An additional $42,000 was invested in Macquarie shares through the MEREP, and this equates to 1,544 restricted share units. For Mr. Weintraub, an additional $11,270 was retained and invested in Macquarie shares through the MEREP, and this equates to 443 restricted share units.

For further discussions on retained profit share, see “2009 Grants of Macquarie Restricted Share Units” below.

(4) Macquarie did not grant options as part of the 2009 remuneration review cycle, as discussed above. The value of options awards is the grant date fair value of the options determined in accordance with the requirements of ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation (formerly FAS 123R “Share Based Payment”). The value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the trinomial option pricing framework and expensed over the vesting period of that option. The following key assumptions have been adopted for grants made in 2008, risk free interest rate: 6.83%, expected life of options: four years, volatility of share price: 24% and dividend yield: 3.47%. The following key assumptions have been adopted for grants made in 2007, risk free interest rate: 7.0%, expected life of options: four years, volatility of share price: 20.0% and dividend yield: 3.43%. Amounts for 2008 have been converted from Australian dollars to U.S. dollars using the Federal Reserve Bank noon buying rates effective on December 31, 2008 of $0.6983 to AUD $1.00. Amounts for 2007 have been converted from Australian dollars to U.S. dollars using the Federal Reserve Bank noon buying rates effective on December 31, 2007 of $0.8776 to AUD $1.00.

Options vest in three equal installments after the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of commencement of employment for new starters and, for existing employees, on July 1, two, three and four years after the allocation of the options, unless forfeited beforehand. Options not exercised by the end of the five-year term expire. In addition, the options granted to Mr. Stokes during the fiscal years

James Hooke                       76,175  
Peter Stokes     35,998       (271,806 )            1,059,279  
Todd Weintraub           2,437       (16,467 )      60,593  

(1) Consists of the portion of the amounts reported in the bonus column of the summary compensation table for the 2009 fiscal year that is deferred under the Post-2009 DPS Plan arrangements, in the case of Mr. Stokes. This amount has been converted from Australian dollars to U.S. dollars using the Federal Reserve Bank noon buying rate effective on December 31, 2009 of $0.8979 to AUD $1.00.
(2) The amount for Mr. Stokes represents the notional loss on amounts retained in the Pre-2009 DPS Plan. This notional loss is carried forward and will be offset against any future notional income. The notional loss represents a decrease in value associated with that investment that was determined at the discretion of the Macquarie Executive Committee in July 2009. Of the total amount, a loss of $90,535 relates to a decrease from the period of July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 in the value of a notional investment in shares of LLC interests of the Company. Any notional income for the period beginning July 1, 2009 will be determined at the discretion of the Macquarie Executive Committee in July 2010. Aggregate losses have been converted from Australian dollars to U.S. dollars using the Federal Reserve Bank noon buying rate effective on December 31, 2009 of $0.8979 to AUD $1.00.

The amounts for Mr. Weintraub represent notional income on profit share retained in 2006 and 2007 and released in 2009.

(3) In the case of Mr. Stokes’, the notional return on the Pre-2009 DPS Plan retention for the year ended July 31, 2009 was negative and therefore, no earnings on retained amounts or retained amounts were distributed. For Mr. Weintraub this represents profit share retained in 2006 and 2007 and distributed in 2009 together with income earned on the amounts retained.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(4) In the case of Mr. Stokes, an aggregate of $53,104 relates to retention held in the former DPS Trust Scheme in 2004 which was initially paid out and then mandatorily reinvested on an after-tax basis. All balances held under the former DPS Trust Scheme are being transitioned to the Post-2009 DPS Plan under transition arrangements which ensure the required balances are retained on a pre-tax basis. For Mr. Stokes, as of July 1, 2009, $1,023,281 of this amount is notionally invested in a portfolio of Macquarie managed vehicles, $24,270 of which is notionally invested in our LLC interests and $35,998 was held in cash pending finalization and shareholder approval of the new remuneration arrangements. The aggregate retention has been converted from Australian dollars to U.S. dollars using the Federal Reserve Bank noon buying rate effective on December 31, 2009 of $0.8979 to AUD $1.00. See “Summary Compensation Table” above.

For Mr. Hooke and Mr. Weintraub this represents amounts that were previously retained and remain in cash.

The compensation reported in the nonqualified deferred compensation table was deferred by Mr. Stokes pursuant to both the Pre-2009 and Post-2009 DPS Plan. Under the DPS Plan, the value of the retained DPS for the period from the preceding July 1 to June 30 is determined based on total shareholder returns of the notional portfolio assuming reinvestment of distributions and, therefore, takes into account both capital appreciation and distributions to shareholders. Any increases in value of the notional portfolio may be paid out in August each year at the discretion of Macquarie’s Executive Committee, or the BRC. If the notional investment of amount retained under the DPS Plan results in a notional loss, Macquarie will not make any payment or compensation in respect of the loss. This notional loss will be offset against notional income in the first instance and then against any future notional income until the loss is completely offset. Any notional loss may also be deducted from amounts retained under the DPS Plan (both Pre-2009 and Post-2009) at the discretion of the Macquarie Executive Committee or the BRC. In Mr. Stokes’ case, all 2006 profit share amounts that were retained were notionally invested in shares of our trust stock (now LLC interests of the Company following the dissolution of the Trust) as of July 1, 2006. On July 1, 2007 and 2008, his profit share amounts retained for 2007 and 2008, respectively, and a portion of his 2009 retention amount (from 1 January 2010) was notionally invested in a portfolio of securities representing the funds managed by the Macquarie Capital Group that does not include our LLC interests.

Mr. Stokes’ retained profit share held in the Pre-2009 DPS Plan and the DPS Trust Scheme of $1,023,281 shown above began vesting on March 31, 2007, five years from the date he was deemed to become an executive director, and will be fully vested on March 31, 2012. Amounts retained in 2009 are subject to a revised vesting and release requirements described above.

The compensation reported in the nonqualified deferred compensation table was deferred by Mr. Hooke and Mr. Weintraub pursuant to Macquarie’s profit share arrangements. Notional interest is paid on retained profit share based on the one year guaranteed U.S. dollar cash rate.

Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control

For each of the named executive officers, there are no contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements that provide for payments upon a change of control of our Company.

Termination Provisions Under Employment Agreements

Under the terms of Mr. Hooke’s employment agreement with MGL, dated April 16, 2009, Mr. Hooke will provide Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. four weeks’ notice if he voluntarily resigns. Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. will provide Mr. Hooke four weeks’ notice of any termination (although the employer may make payments to him in lieu of such notice), subject to certain exclusions included (but not limited to) in the agreement. During any period of notice of termination or resignation, Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. has the discretion to direct Mr. Hooke not to do any work or contact any customers or clients for a period up to the date of his termination or resignation. During this period, Mr. Hooke will continue to be employed by Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. and must not engage or prepare to engage in any business activity that is the same or similar to the business he was undertaking with his employer. Mr. Hooke is also entitled to severance under Macquarie’s severance plan discussed below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mr. Hooke’s employment agreement also provides that Mr. Hooke is subject to a confidentiality restrictive covenant for an unlimited duration. The employment agreement also provides that Mr. Hooke is subject to a non-solicitation restrictive covenant of employees and clients during his employment and for a three-month period thereafter. In addition, the employment agreement provides that Mr. Hooke is subject to a non-competition restrictive covenant during his employment and for a three-month period thereafter.

Under the terms of Mr. Weintraub’s employment agreement with Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc., dated April 26, 2005, Mr. Weintraub will provide Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. two weeks’ notice if he voluntarily resigns and Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. will provide Mr. Weintraub two weeks’ notice of any termination for any reason other than for “cause,” as defined in the agreement. The period between such notice and termination of employment is referred to as the “notice period.” During the notice period, Mr. Weintraub will be entitled to continue to receive his salary and contributions to the group medical, dental, vision, life and disability plans and he will be entitled to payment of any accrued but unpaid vacation time. Macquarie may, in its discretion, alter Mr. Weintraub’s duties or place him on paid leave of absence during the notice period. In addition, Mr. Weintraub may not engage or prepare to engage in any business activity that is the same or similar to the business of Macquarie during the notice period. Mr. Weintraub is also entitled to severance under Macquarie’s severance plan discussed below.

The employment agreement provides that Mr. Weintraub is subject to a confidentiality restrictive covenant for an unlimited duration. The employment agreement also provides that Mr. Weintraub is subject to a non-solicitation restrictive covenant of employees and clients during his employment and for a three-month period thereafter.

Mr. Stokes resigned from his position as chief executive officer effective May 8, 2009 after serving five years as chief executive officer of the Company. No payments were made in connection with his resignation and Mr. Stokes remains employed by Macquarie as an executive director in Australia.

Macquarie’s Severance Plan

Under Macquarie’s severance plan applicable to U.S.-based staff such as Mr. Hooke and Mr. Weintraub, if a director level, employee is terminated by Macquarie for reasons other than for cause or by voluntary resignation, such person would be entitled to severance payments equal to four weeks base salary for the first year of employment plus three weeks base salary for each year thereafter, and pro rata payments for each complete month within any portion of a year.

Profit Share Arrangement

In the event that an executive director, like Mr. Stokes, terminates employment with Macquarie, then the executive director’s vested retained directors’ profit share (under the pre-2009 DPS Plan) may, subject to certain disqualifying events, be distributed on the date on which the Macquarie BRC or the Macquarie Executive Committee determines that the executive is entitled to the distribution. This will generally be six months after the termination date.

Amounts retained from 2009 onwards are only released where an executive director’s employment ends on the grounds of genuine retirement or redundancy or in certain other limited circumstances subject to the disqualifying events. The release will occur over a period of six months to two year after the executive director leaves.

In the case of Mr. Weintraub and Mr. Hooke, unvested retention (pre-2009) may be paid on termination at the discretion of Macquarie where, for example, an employee’s employment ends of the grounds of genuine retirement, redundancy, death disability, illness or in other circumstances where business efficacy justifies exercising the discretion. In all other cases retention is forfeited on leaving Macquarie.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan

The MEREP rules give Macquarie the discretion to release the equity award on termination. The BRC or the Committee under delegation from the BRC may consider exercising this discretion where, for example, a staff member dies, is totally and permanently disabled, gives notice of their intention to enter into genuine retirement or a staff member’s employment ends on the grounds of redundancy, illness or in other limited exceptional circumstances, such as hardship or where business efficacy justifies exercising the discretion. In all other cases these equity awards are forfeited on leaving Macquarie.

Macquarie Group Employee Share Option Plan

Under the terms of the Macquarie Group Employee Share Option Plan, if an individual who has been granted options ceases to be an employee or consultant of Macquarie, their vested options lapse six months after they cease to be an employee or consultant and their unvested options lapse immediately. However, the Macquarie Executive Committee may, in its absolute discretion and on any conditions it thinks fit, determine that the options do not lapse at that time but lapse at the time and subject to the conditions it specifies, which may include that options that have not otherwise reached their vesting date are deemed to have vested, that the lapse date of any of the options is extended beyond six months after the date on which the individual ceased to be an employee or consultant or that any exercise conditions associated with the options are waived.

If an individual who has been granted options dies, the Macquarie Executive Committee may, in its absolute discretion, and subject to any conditions that it specifies in relation to any exercise of its discretion in relation to the individual ceasing to be an employee or consultant, give approval for the relevant options to be transferred to the individual’s legal personal representatives.

If the Macquarie Executive Committee becomes aware of circumstances which, in its reasonable opinion, indicate that an individual has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or in a manner which is in breach of his or her obligations to Macquarie, it may, in its absolute discretion, determine that any or all of the options granted to the individual lapse immediately.

Payments Upon Resignation or Termination

If, as of December 31, 2009, Mr. Hooke or Mr. Weintraub’s employment had been terminated without cause, they would have been entitled to a severance payment of $44,712 and $62,404 respectively, under the Macquarie severance plan described above, in addition to accrued and unpaid vacation time. They may also receive unvested options and retained profit share amounts, subject to the discretions outlined above. Mr. Hooke and Mr. Weintraub would not be entitled to any severance in the event of death or disability. No amounts would have been payable in the event of their resignation or termination for cause, subject to discretions being exercised in relation to their options and retained profit share amounts.

SHARE OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND
PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of LLC interests by each person who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding LLC interests, each of our directors and executive officers and our directors and executive officers as a group as of April 15, 2010, based on 45,431,868 LLC interests issued and outstanding. All holders of LLC interests are entitled to one vote per LLC interest on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of LLC interests. The voting rights attached to LLC interests held by our directors, executive officers or major shareholders do not differ from those that attach to LLC interests held by any other holder. Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, “beneficial ownership” includes LLC interests for which the individual, directly or indirectly, has voting power, meaning the power to control voting decisions, or investment power, meaning the power to cause the sale of the LLC interests, whether or not the LLC interests are held for the individual’s benefit.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Our audit committee is composed of three independent directors, all of whom are financially literate. In addition, the board has determined that each of Mr. Brown, an independent director and the chairman of the audit committee, and Mr. Carmany, an independent director and the chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee, qualify as audit committee financial experts as defined by the SEC. The audit committee operates under a written charter, which reflects NYSE listing standards and Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements regarding audit committees. A copy of the charter is included as Exhibit A to this proxy statement and is available on the Company’s website at www.macquarie.com/mic under “Investor Center/Governance.”

The audit committee’s primary role is to assist the board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of (1) the quality and integrity of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, (2) compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the independent auditors’ qualifications, independence and performance and (4) the performance of our internal audit and control functions.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, the financial reporting process and the system of internal controls. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an audit of the financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, and issuing an opinion as to the conformity of those audited financial statements to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The audit committee monitors and oversees these processes.

The audit committee has adopted a policy designed to ensure proper oversight of our independent auditor. Under the policy, the audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of any registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing any other audit review (including resolution of disagreements among management, the Manager, and the auditor regarding financial reporting), or attestation services. In addition, the audit committee is responsible for pre-approving any non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent auditors. The audit committee’s charter also ensures that the independent auditor discusses with the audit committee important issues such as internal controls, critical accounting policies, any instances of fraud and the consistency and appropriateness of our accounting policies and practices.

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP, the independent auditor, the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. The audit committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). In addition, the audit committee has received from the independent auditor its written report required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed its independence from the Company and its management. The audit committee also considered whether the non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to us during 2009 were compatible with its independence as auditor.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee has recommended to the board, and the board has approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Company’s compensation committee is composed of three independent directors, as determined by the board based on the NYSE corporate governance listing standards and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines. In addition, all members of the compensation committee are “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The responsibilities of the compensation committee include reviewing the Manager’s performance of its obligations under the management services agreement, reviewing the remuneration of the Manager, determining the compensation of the independent directors, granting rights to indemnification and reimbursement of expenses to the Manager and any seconded individuals and making recommendations to the board regarding the Company’s equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs. The compensation committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board, reflecting the NYSE rules for compensation committees in light of the Company’s external management structure. A copy of the charter is available on the Company’s website at www.macquarie.com/mic under “Investor Center/Governance.”

As described in the section “Compensation of Directors” in this proxy statement, our independent directors receive an annual cash retainer for serving on the board, fees for each committee meeting which they attend and an annual cash retainer for each committee they chair. In addition, independent directors are compensated with director LLC interest units that are granted under our independent directors’ equity plan and receive reimbursement for certain reasonable expenses related to their service as directors.

The compensation committee does not establish or review compensation policies with respect to our chief executive officer or chief financial officer since such individuals are employed by Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc., an affiliate of the Manager, and are seconded to the Company.

The foregoing report on executive compensation for 2010 is provided by the undersigned members of the compensation committee of the board.

The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with the Company’s management. Since the Company’s named executive officers are not employed or compensated by the Company, the Compensation Discussion and Analysis reflects a discussion of the elements and objectives of the Macquarie Group rather than the Company. Based on this review and discussion, the compensation committee has recommended to the board, and the board has approved, the inclusion of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this Proxy Statement and its incorporation by reference into the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In this section, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Company and its subsidiaries for all periods following the dissolution of the Trust and to the Company, the Trust and the Company’s subsidiaries prior to that time.

Related Party Transactions Policies

Our board recognizes that related party transactions present a heightened risk of conflicts of interest and therefore has adopted internal policies and protocols to be followed in connection with related party transactions.

The Company’s audit committee, all of the members of which are independent directors, is required to approve any related party transactions, including those involving Macquarie Group entities and vehicles managed by the Macquarie Group, regardless of the dollar amount of the transaction. The protocol applies to all transactions involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries in which a Macquarie Group entity may receive a financial benefit.

In approving related persons transactions, the audit committee determines whether each related persons transaction referred to the committee is on arm’s-length terms or better. The audit committee is authorized to request and review any factual information to enable them to determine whether a related person transaction is on arm’s-length terms. This information may take the form of benchmarks comparing the terms of the proposed transaction to similar transactions involving unrelated parties or external fairness opinions.

Under the guidance of the audit committee, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer are responsible for managing any benchmarking or review process conducted in accordance with the protocol, in consultation with the Company’s general counsel. The Company’s general counsel is responsible for ensuring overall compliance with the protocol, including ensuring that related person transactions covered by the protocol are referred to the audit committee for approval, and for reporting such transactions at regular meetings of the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s risk and compliance manager is responsible for monitoring compliance with the protocol and educating all Company employees, including those seconded by our Manager, about the protocol.

Our board has also adopted a written policy pursuant to which it has pre-approved certain types of transactions with related parties assuming certain conditions are met. The pre-approval policy permits foreign exchange, interest rate hedge and other routine financial transactions (such as the establishment of bank, brokerage and custodial accounts) for which the terms provided by the related party are equal or more favorable to us than those quoted by unaffiliated counterparties. All pre-approved transactions are included as a standing item in reports to the Company’s board at regular meetings of the board.

Our Relationship With the Macquarie Group

Prior to our initial public offering, we were a member of the Macquarie Group of companies. Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., our Manager, is a part of the Macquarie Group. From time to time, we have entered into, and in the future we may enter into, transactions and relationships involving the Macquarie Group, including those with Macquarie Group Limited, its affiliates, or vehicles managed by the Macquarie Group. As discussed above, our audit committee, all of the members of which are independent directors, is required to approve of any related person transactions, including those involving the Macquarie Group, except for those pre-approved by our board.

Contractual Arrangements With Our Manager

Our Manager’s Investment in the Company and Registration Rights

Our Manager acquired 2,000,000 shares of trust stock of Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering in December 2004, with an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million, at a purchase price per share equal to the initial public offering price of $25.00, which were exchanged for our LLC interests on June 25, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement (discussed below), our Manager may sell these LLC interests at any time. Our Manager has also received additional shares of trust stock and LLC interests (the LLC interests replacing the trust stock following the

dissolution of the Trust in June 2007) by reinvesting some performance fees and base management fees. At December 31, 2009 and at March 31, 2010, our Manager held 3,503,227 and 3,642,182 LLC interests, respectively.

We entered into a registration rights agreement with our Manager under which we agreed to file a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the resale of all LLC interests owned by our Manager as soon as reasonably possible following December 21, 2005. In addition, our Manager may also require us to include its LLC interests in future registered offerings that we conduct, subject to cutback at the option of the underwriters of any such offering. On October 16, 2006, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, subsequently amended on June 25, 2007, which became automatically effective. The shelf registration statement covers resales by our Manager of any LLC interests registrable under the registration rights agreement. Concurrently with an equity offering in July 2007, our Manager sold 599,000 of its LLC interests at a price of $40.99 per LLC interest.

Management Services Agreement

Management and Fees.  At the closing of our initial public offering, we entered into a management services agreement, or Management Agreement, pursuant to which our Manager manages the day-to-day operations and oversees the management teams of our operating businesses. In addition, our Manager has the right to appoint the chairman of our board and an alternate, subject to minimum equity ownership, and to assign, or second, to us, on a permanent and wholly-dedicated basis, employees to assume the role of chief executive officer and chief financial officer and second or make other personnel available as required. Our Manager’s board appointees do not receive any compensation (other than out-of-pocket expenses) and do not have any special voting rights.

In accordance with the Management Agreement, our Manager is entitled to a quarterly base management fee, based primarily on the number of shares outstanding and the price of the LLC interests, and the performance fee, based on the performance of our LLC interests relative to a U.S. utilities index. Base management and performance fees payable to our Manager, and our Manager’s reinvestment of the base management and performance fees in our LLC interests, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were as follows ($ in thousands):

     
  Year Ended December 31,
     2009(1)   2008   2007(2)
Base management fee   $ 4,846     $ 12,568     $ 21,677  
Performance fee                 43,962  

(1) During 2009, our Manager elected to reinvest the base management fee for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009 in our LLC interests and we issued 149,795 LLC interests, 180,309 LLC interests and 138,955 LLC interests, respectively, to our Manager during the third and fourth quarters of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, respectively.
(2) During 2007, our Manager elected to reinvest the performance fee for the first and second quarters of 2007 in our LLC interests and we issued 21,972 LLC interests and 1,171,503 LLC interests, respectively, to our Manager during the third and fourth quarters of 2007, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2008, our Manager had offered to reinvest its base fee for the third quarter of 2008 in additional LLC interests. However in the fourth quarter of 2008, the board of directors requested that our Manager reverse its decision to reinvest its base management fees in LLC interests under the terms of the Management Agreement due to the significant decline in the market price of our LLC interests between the end of the third quarter of 2008 and the time at which we would have issued those LLC interests, and the resulting potential substantial dilution to existing shareholders. Our Manager agreed to this request and subsequently, both the third and fourth quarter 2008 base fees were paid in cash during the first quarter of 2009.

Base management fees for the first quarter of 2010 were $2.2 million. Our Manager has not yet determined whether it will re-invest these fees in LLC interests.
