Section 2 Financial Information
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On June 7, 2006 (the Closing Date), Macquarie Infrastructure
Company Inc. (MIC Inc.) a wholly
owned subsidiary of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC and Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust
(collectively and individually MIC or the Company), through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Macquarie Gas Holdings LLC (MGH), completed its acquisition of K-1 HGC Investment, L.L.C. (subsequently
renamed Macquarie HGC Investment LLC)
(MHGI), which owns HGC Holdings, L.L.C. (subsequently renamed HGC Holdings LLC)
(HGC) and The Gas Company,
LLC (TGC), from k1
Ventures Limited (K1). This transaction was initially described in a Form 8-K filed by MIC in
August 2005 and was also described in MICs most recently filed Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
MHGI, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, HGC Investment Corporation, are the sole members of
HGC, and HGC is the sole member of TGC. TGC is a Hawaii limited liability company that owns and
operates the regulated synthetic natural gas distribution business in Hawaii and
distributes and sells liquefied petroleum gas through unregulated operations. TGC operates in both
regulated and unregulated markets on the Islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai.
The $272.0 million purchase price, comprised of a base purchase price of $238.0 million, a working capital adjustment of $21.3 million and transaction costs of $12.7 million, was funded with
$160.0 million of new subsidiary-level debt, $99.0 million of funds initially drawn by MIC Inc. under the revolving portion of its acquisition credit facility and available
cash. The Company expects the transaction to be immediately yield accretive. The $160.0 million of
subsidiary secured financing were provided by
Dresdner Bank AG London Branch and other lenders under two credit facilities, each of which
commenced at the Closing Date and have a seven year term. These agreements, which do not have
recourse to MIC or other businesses of MIC, are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
TGCs consolidated results will be included in the results of operations of MIC under the purchase
method of accounting and will constitute a new segment (gas utility business) from the Closing
Date. Subject to applicable debt covenants and retention of reserves, as required by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (HPUC), MIC expects that
substantially all of TGCs consolidated cash flow from operations and from investing activities
less maintenance capital expenditures will be available for distribution to its shareholders.
Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc. (MSUSA) acted as financial advisor to MIC on the transaction,
including on the debt financing arrangements, and will receive fees and expense payments totaling
approximately $5.0 million (included in the transaction costs discussed above). MSUSA is a
subsidiary of Macquarie Bank Limited, the parent company of the Manager. In addition, Macquarie Bank
Limited provided $30.0 million of the Funding under the MIC Inc. acquisition facility. It also
provided interest rate swaps with notional principal of $48.0 million relating to the subsidiary level financing.
Additional information about this transaction, as well as the financing facilities, has been included with the registrants previous SEC
filings. This Form 8-K updates all such prior information.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.
As described in Item 2.01, the purchase of TGC was financed, in part, with $160.0 million of
subsidiary secured term debt that is non-recourse to MIC or other
MIC-owned businesses and $99.0 million of debt incurred under MIC Inc.s
acquisition credit facility.
The terms
of the MIC Inc. acquisition facility and the subsidiary debt
facility, including payment terms and mandatory prepayment
provisions, are substantially the same as has been previously
described in the Companys SEC
filings, except as follows: the additional $20 million working
capital revolving facility now includes a $5.0 million letter of credit
sublimit, and
revolving loans are to be repaid within 12 months after their
borrowing or at maturity, if sooner.
The
borrowers for the subsidiary level credit facilities also entered into hedging agreements pursuant to which
the floating interest rates of the subsidiary level credit facilities are swapped into fixed rates. Under the hedging
agreements, $160 million of LIBOR based notional principal have
been hedged at a fixed rate of 4.84%, effective August 31, 2006.
