Section 8 — Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Under the terms of its Management Services Agreement with its Manager, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (the “Company”) has incurred an obligation for payment of a performance fee of $43.0 million. The performance fee is payable to its Manager, Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
MIC’s Manager is eligible to earn a quarterly performance fee if the MIC Accumulation Index, a measure of total return to shareholders, is positive and outperforms its benchmark, currently the MSCI U.S. Utilities Index. The performance fee is 20% of the outperformance of the Accumulation Index relative to the benchmark. A fee is payable only to the extent that the outperformance is in excess of any prior accumulated deficit.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007 the MIC Accumulation Index outperformed its utilities-based benchmark by 15.0% or approximately $215.0 million.
MIC’s Manager has elected to receive the performance fee in additional limited liability company interests (“shares”) of the Company. The number of additional shares to be issued will be calculated based on the volume-weighted average price of MIC’s outstanding shares during a 15 day trading period that will begin during the first week of September, 2007.
