PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
       This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, which we refer to as the company, a Delaware limited liability company, for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust, or the trust, to be held on May 25, 2006 at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at Le Parker Meridien, 118 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, and for any adjournments or postponements of the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The notice of annual meeting, proxy statement and proxy are first being mailed or given to shareholders on or about April 18, 2006.
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 three directors to our board of directors to serve for a one-year term; and
 
  •  the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.
ATTENDING AND VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
      The Bank of New York has been selected as our inspector of election. As part of its responsibilities, The Bank of New York is required to independently verify that you are a shareholder of Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust eligible to attend the Annual Meeting, and to determine whether you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, it is very important that you follow the instructions below to gain entry to the Annual Meeting.
Check-in Procedure for Attending the Annual Meeting
      Shareholders of Record. If you are a shareholder of record (those shareholders whose names are listed in the share register of the trust), or will represent a shareholder of record, you should go to the “Shareholders of Record” check-in area at the Annual Meeting. The documents you will need to provide to be admitted to the Annual Meeting depend on whether you are a shareholder of record or you represent a shareholder of record.
  •  Individuals. If you are a shareholder of record holding shares in your own name, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a form of government-issued identification (e.g., a driver’s license or passport). Trustees who are individuals and named as shareholders of record are in this category.
 
  •  Individuals Representing a Shareholder of Record. If you attend on behalf of a shareholder of record, whether such shareholder is an individual, corporation, trust or partnership:
  •  you must bring to the Annual Meeting a form of government-issued identification (e.g., a driver’s license or passport); AND


Table of Contents

  •  either:
  •  you must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from that shareholder of record authorizing you to attend the Annual Meeting on their behalf; OR
 
  •  we must have received by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 24, 2006 a duly executed proxy card from the shareholder of record appointing you as proxy.
      Beneficial Owners. If your shares are held by a bank or broker (often referred to as “holding in street name”), you should go to the “Beneficial Owners” check-in area at the Annual Meeting. Because you hold in street name, your name does not appear on the share register of the trust. The documents you will need to provide to be admitted to the Annual Meeting depend on whether you are a beneficial owner or you represent a beneficial owner.
  •  Individuals. If you are a beneficial owner, you must bring to the Annual Meeting:
  •  a form of government-issued identification (e.g., a driver’s license or passport); AND
 
  •  either:
  •  a legal proxy that you have obtained from your bank or broker; OR
 
  •  your most recent brokerage account statement or a recent letter from your bank or broker showing that you own shares of Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust.
  •  Individuals Representing a Beneficial Owner. If you attend on behalf of a beneficial owner, you must bring to the Annual Meeting:
  •  a letter from the beneficial owner authorizing you to represent its shares at the Annual Meeting; AND
 
  •  the identification and documentation specified above for individual beneficial owners.
Voting in Person at the Annual Meeting
      Shareholders of Record. Shareholders of record may vote their shares in person at the Annual Meeting by ballot. Each proposal has a separate ballot. You must properly complete, sign, date and return the ballots to the inspector of election at the Annual Meeting to vote in person. To receive ballots, you must bring with you the documents described below.
  •  Individuals. You will receive ballots at the check-in table when you present your identification. If you have already returned your proxy card to us and do not want to change your votes, you do not need to complete the ballots. If you do complete and return the ballots to us, your proxy card will be automatically revoked.
 
  •  Individuals Voting on Behalf of Another Individual. If you will vote on behalf of another individual who is a shareholder of record, we must have received by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 24, 2006 a duly executed proxy card from such individual shareholder of record appointing you as his or her proxy. If we have received the proxy card, you will receive ballots at the check-in table when you present your identification.
 
  •  Individuals Voting on Behalf of a Legal Entity. If you represent a shareholder of record that is a legal entity, you may vote that legal entity’s shares if it authorizes you to do so. The documents you must provide to receive the ballots depend on whether you are representing a corporation, trust, partnership or other legal entity.
  •  If you represent a corporation, you must:
  •  bring to the Annual Meeting a letter or other document from the corporation, on the corporation’s letterhead and signed by an officer of the corporation, that authorizes you to vote its shares on its behalf; OR

Table of Contents

  •  we must have received by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 24, 2006 a duly executed proxy card from the corporation appointing you as its proxy.
  •  If you represent a trust, partnership or other legal entity, we must have received by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 24, 2006 a duly executed proxy card from the legal entity appointing you as its proxy. A letter or other document will not be sufficient for you to vote on behalf of a trust, partnership or other legal entity.
      Beneficial Owners. If you hold your shares in street name, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or their appointed agent. Because your name does not appear on the share register of the trust, you will not be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request a legal proxy from your bank or broker and bring it with you to the Annual Meeting.
  •  Individuals. As an individual, the legal proxy will have your name on it. You must present the legal proxy at check-in to the inspector of election at the Annual Meeting to receive your ballots.
 
  •  Individuals Voting on Behalf of a Beneficial Owner. Because the legal proxy will not have your name on it, to receive your ballots you must:
  •  present the legal proxy at check-in to the inspector of election at the Annual Meeting; AND
 
  •  bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from the person or entity named on the legal proxy that authorizes you to vote its shares at the Annual Meeting.
APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
General
      Shareholders of Record. We encourage you to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf by promptly submitting the enclosed proxy card, which is solicited by our board and which, when properly completed, signed, dated and returned to us, will ensure that your shares are voted as you direct. We strongly encourage you to return your completed proxy to us regardless of whether you will attend the Annual Meeting to ensure that your vote is represented at the Annual Meeting.
      PLEASE RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD TO US IN THE ACCOMPANYING ENVELOPE NO LATER THAN 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MAY 24, 2006. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR PROXY CARD 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 persons named in the proxy card have been designated as proxies by our board. The designated proxies are officers of the company. They will vote as directed by the completed proxy card.
      Shareholders of record may appoint another person to attend the Annual Meeting and vote on their behalf by crossing out the board-designated proxies, inserting such other person’s name on the proxy card and returning the duly executed proxy card to us. When the person you appoint as proxy arrives at the Annual Meeting, the inspector of election will verify such person’s authorization to vote on your behalf by reference to your proxy card. If you would like to appoint another person as proxy, you must do so by using the proxy card, as described above.
      If you wish to change your vote, you may do so by revoking your proxy before the Annual Meeting. Please see “Revocation of Proxy” below for more information.
      Beneficial Owners. If you hold your shares in street name, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or their appointed agent. You should also have received a voter instruction card instead of a proxy card. Your bank or broker will vote your shares as you instruct on the voter instruction card. We strongly encourage you to promptly complete and return your voter instruction card to your bank or broker in accordance with their instructions so that your shares are voted. As described above, you may also request a legal proxy from your bank or broker to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Voting by the Designated Proxies
      The persons who are the designated proxies will vote as you direct in your proxy card or voter instruction card. Please note that proxy cards returned without voting directions, and without specifying a proxy to attend the Annual Meeting and vote on your behalf, will be voted by the proxies designated by our board in accordance with the recommendations of our board. Our board recommends:
  •  a vote FOR each of the three nominees for director to serve for a one-year term (Proposal 1); and
 
  •  a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the trust and the company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 (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:
  •  sending us a written notice of revocation prior to the Annual Meeting;
 
  •  attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person; OR
 
  •  ensuring that we receive from you, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 24, 2006, a new proxy card with a later date.
      Any written notice of revocation must be sent to the attention of Heidi Mortensen, General Counsel and Secretary, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, 125 West 55th Street, New York, New York 10019 or by facsimile to (212) 231-1828.
APPROVAL OF PROPOSALS AND SOLICITATION
      Each shareholder who owned shares of trust stock on April 11, 2006, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, is entitled to one vote for each share of trust stock. On April 11, 2006, we had 27,050,745 shares of trust stock issued and outstanding that were held by approximately 12,000 beneficial holders.
Quorum
      Under the second amended and restated trust agreement of the trust, which we refer to as the trust agreement, the shareholders present in person or by proxy holding a majority of the outstanding shares of trust stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders of Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust. Holders of shares of trust stock are the only shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shares represented by proxies that are marked “abstain” will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares of trust stock that are represented by broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when the broker holding shares 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. Both proposals described in this proxy are discretionary items.
      If the persons present or represented by proxies at the Annual Meeting do not constitute a majority of the holders of outstanding trust stock entitled to vote as of the record date, we will postpone the Annual Meeting to a later date.
Approval of Proposals
      For the election of directors (Proposal 1), the affirmative vote of at least a plurality of the votes cast on such proposal is required. 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

Table of Contents

cast. 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. A broker non-vote would also not be counted as a vote cast.
      Proposals 1 and 2 are both “discretionary” items. NYSE member brokers that do not receive instructions from beneficial owners may vote your shares in their discretion. We currently do not have any proposals that are “non-discretionary” items. In the case of non-discretionary items, member brokers may not vote on the proposal without specific voting instructions from beneficial owners, resulting in a broker non-vote.
      Under the terms of the second amended and restated operating agreement of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, which we refer to as the LLC agreement, and the trust agreement, with respect to those matters subject to vote by the members of the company, the company will act at the direction of the trust. The trust agreement requires Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust to vote 100% of the limited liability interests of the company, or the LLC interests, of which it is the sole holder, in the same proportion as the vote of holders of the trust stock. In this way the voting rights of members of the company will effectively be exercised by the shareholders of the trust by proxy. The LLC agreement provides that the members are entitled, at the annual meeting of members of the company, to vote for the election of all of the directors other than the director, and alternate therefor, appointed by our manager. The trust will vote its LLC interests as directed at the company’s annual members’ meeting promptly following the tabulation of votes cast at this Annual Meeting.
      All votes will be tabulated by The Bank of New York, the proxy tabulator and inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting. The Bank of New York will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.
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. We have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to distribute copies of these proxy materials to banks, brokers, fiduciaries and custodians, or their agents, holding shares in their names on behalf of beneficial owners so that they may forward these proxy materials to our beneficial owners.
      We may supplement the original solicitation of proxies by mail with solicitation by telephone, telegram and other means by directors, officers and/or employees of our manager or of other members of the Macquarie Group. We will not pay any additional compensation to these individuals for any such services.
PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Board Composition and Independence
      Our board of directors, which we sometimes refer to as our board, consists of four directors, three of which are elected by shareholders of the trust. The remaining director and our chairman, who is currently John Roberts, is appointed by our manager under the terms of our management services agreement. Shemara Wikramanayake 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 2005 Annual Meeting and, prior to the closing of our IPO, by our sole shareholder with their service commencing upon the closing of our initial public offering. 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 New York Stock Exchange (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. The board has determined that each director other than Mr. Roberts, and Ms. Wikramanayake as Mr. Roberts’ alternate, is independent under the NYSE standards.

PROPOSAL 2:
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
General
      Our board has recommended and asks that you ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditor for the company and the trust for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. 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 the annual financial statements of the trust for 2004 fiscal year and was appointed by our audit committee and ratified by shareholders to audit the annual financial statements for the 2005 fiscal year. Based on its past performance during these audits, the audit committee of the board has selected KPMG LLP as the independent auditor to perform the audit of our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting for 2006. 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 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.

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 also delegated to the chairman of the committee the authority to approve additional audit and non-audit service and, subject to compliance with all applicable independence requirements, to approve the engagement of additional accounting firms to provide such services. The delegation is limited to an aggregate of $50,000 in fees at any one time outstanding 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 fees may be approved by the audit committee prospectively.
      In making its recommendation to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, 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.
Changes in Accountants
      Ernst & Young LLP was initially appointed to be the auditors of the trust. On August 18, 2004, Ernst & Young LLP informed the trust that the client-auditor relationship between the trust and Ernst & Young LLP had ceased. Ernst & Young LLP did not report on the financial statements of the trust since its inception. There were no disagreements between us and Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports. Furthermore, there were no “reportable events,” as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, for the period during which Ernst & Young LLP was engaged as auditors of the trust.
      We requested Ernst & Young LLP to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, confirming its agreement with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated October 15, 2004, is filed as Exhibit 16.2 to our registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-116244), dated October 15, 2004, as filed with the SEC on October 15, 2004.
      On September 15, 2004, WithumSmith+Brown, P.C. was appointed by resolution of the board of directors as the trust’s new independent public accountants.
      On December 22, 2004, we replaced WithumSmith+Brown, P.C., who was previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements. The report issued by WithumSmith+Brown, P.C. on the financial statements for the period from inception to June 30, 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
      During the period from inception to June 30, 2004 and subsequent interim periods through December 22, 2004, there were no disagreements between us and WithumSmith+Brown, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of WithumSmith+Brown, P.C., would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports. Furthermore, there were no “reportable events,” as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, for the period from inception to June 30, 2004 and the subsequent interim periods through December 22, 2004.
      The decision to change independent accountants was approved by the audit committee of our board of directors.
      We requested WithumSmith+Brown, P.C. to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC confirming its agreement with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated December 27, 2004, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 27, 2004.
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 independent auditor for the company and the trust for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

The audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

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 7 times during 2005.
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:

  •  Reputation and Integrity. Such person shall be of high repute and integrity.

In addition, no director may sit on the board, or beneficially own more than a 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 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholder nominations must be received by the company no later than January 25, 2007.
      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.

      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.

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.

Independent Directors Equity Plan
      The company’s independent directors equity plan provides for automatic, non-discretionary awards of director stock 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 it 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 authority under the plan to an officer of the company.
      On May 25, 2005, each independent director received 5,291 director stock units, which was equal to $150,000 divided by the average of the closing sale price on the NYSE of one share of trust stock during the ten (10)-day period immediately preceding that date. These units will vest on the day immediately preceding the 2006 Annual Meeting. In addition, each independent director nominee will be eligible to receive, upon election, a grant of director stock units equal to $150,000 divided by average of the closing sale price on the NYSE of one share of trust stock during the ten (10)-day period immediately preceding the date of our 2006 Annual Meeting. Generally, units granted at each annual meeting of the trust’s 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 of the company during the director’s service, the director stock units will vest immediately.

15


Table of Contents

      We will credit director stock units to a bookkeeping account maintained for each director. No interest or dividends will accrue or be credited to any director stock units or the director’s account. As soon as practicable following vesting, we will settle director stock units by delivering to the director the equivalent whole number of shares of trust stock. Units cannot be settled in cash or any other kind of consideration. Prior to settlement, directors will not have the rights of a shareholder in any shares corresponding to the director stock units.
      The plan will expire on the 10th anniversary of the date on which the plan was approved by the shareholders of the trust. 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 it would adversely affect the director’s rights to previously granted awards.

(1)  Percentage is determined based on an aggregate of 10,765,858 options granted during 2005 pursuant to the Macquarie Bank Limited Employee Share Option Plan to employees and consultants of Macquarie Bank Limited and its affiliates, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer.
 
(2)  This estimated hypothetical value is based on the trinomial option pricing valuation model. The following assumptions were made in estimating this value: expected option term, four years; risk-free interest rate, 5.63%; expected volatility, 18%; and an expected dividend yield of 3.6%. These numbers are calculated based on the requirements of the SEC and do not reflect our estimate of future stock price growth. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will depend on the future performance of the ordinary shares of Macquarie Bank Limited on the date on which the options are exercised.
 
(3)  These stock options vest as to one-third on July 1, 2007, as to another one-third on July 1, 2008 and as to the remaining one-third on July 1, 2009. Each tranche of vested stock options will only be exercisable if Macquarie Bank Limited’s average annual return on ordinary equity for the three previous financial years is above the 50th percentile of the corresponding figures for all companies in the then S&P/ASX 300 Industrials Index.

(4)  The exercise price per share was determined to be equal to the fair market value per share of a fully paid ordinary share of Macquarie Bank Limited as valued by the weighted average price of an ordinary share traded on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited or “ASX” (adjusted for cumulative dividend trading and excluding certain special trades), during the one week up to and including the date of the grant (i.e. $46.24).

Option Values
      The following table sets forth information for our Named Executive Officers regarding the number of unissued fully paid ordinary shares of Macquarie Bank Limited subject to both exercisable and unexercisable stock options under the terms of the Macquarie Bank Employee Share Option Plan, as well as the value of unexercised in-the-money options, as of December 31, 2005. The ordinary shares of Macquarie Bank Limited trade on Australian Stock Exchange Limited, or “ASX.” Accordingly, the value of the unexercised in-the- money options at December 31, 2005 has been calculated using the closing price of an ordinary share of Macquarie Bank Limited on December 31, 2005, less the aggregate exercise price. For purposes of this disclosure, all dollar values relating to stock options have been converted from Australian dollars to U.S. dollars using an exchange ratio effective on December 31, 2005; however, the optionee must pay the applicable exercise price established in Australian dollars.

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 chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee, qualifies as an audit committee financial expert 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.
      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, 2005. 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 2005 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, 2005.

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 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.
Compensation Philosophy
      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 stock 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 2006 is provided by the undersigned members of the compensation committee of the board.

      The information contained in the report above shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference in such filing.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our Relationship with the Macquarie Group
      Prior to our initial public offering, the trust and the company were indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Macquarie Bank Limited. Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., our manager, is a part of the Macquarie Group.
      We used a majority of the proceeds from our initial public offering to acquire our initial businesses and investments for cash from the Macquarie Group and from infrastructure investment vehicles managed by the Macquarie Group. The terms and pricing of the agreements with respect to these acquisitions were negotiated among Macquarie Group affiliated entities in the overall context of our initial public offering. There was no review by unaffiliated third parties on our behalf, including by the company’s independent board members, of the pricing or the terms of the agreements. Except as noted below, the majority of these acquisitions occurred in December 2004 and the related party transactions associated with these acquisitions were disclosed in our proxy statement relating to our 2005 Annual Meeting.
      All other related party transactions have been entered into on arm’s length basis on market terms and were approved by our audit committee, all of the members of which are independent directors. Within this section, the “company” refers to Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, the “trust” refers to Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust and “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to both the trust and the company and its subsidiaries together.

      On August 17, 2005, we entered into a joinder agreement with k1 Ventures Limited, K-1 HGC Investment, L.L.C., which we refer to, together with k1 Ventures, as the K1 Parties, and Macquarie Investment Holdings Inc., or MIHI, and a related assignment agreement with MIHI. Under these agreements, we assumed all of MIHI’s rights and obligations as a Buyer under a purchase agreement between MIHI and the K1 Parties for no additional consideration other than providing MIHI with an indemnification for the liabilities, cost and expenses it incurs as Buyer under the purchase agreement. The purchase agreement provides for the acquisition by the Buyer of, at the option of k1 Ventures, either 100% of the interests in HGC Investment or 100% of the membership interests of HGC Holdings, L.L.C. Macquarie Securities is acting as financial advisor to us on the transaction, including in connection with the debt financing arrangements described below, for which no fees have been paid to date. MIHI and Macquarie Securities are both subsidiaries of Macquarie Bank Limited, the parent company of our manager.

affiliated participants, for which it received $250,000 in establishment fees. Macquarie Securities provided advisory services in relation to the establishment of the revolving credit facility and received fees of $625,000. Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation has provided $50 million of the revolving credit facility, for which it received $125,000 in establishment fees. According to filings with the SEC, affiliates of Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of trust stock.
Airport Services Business
      During most of 2005, our airport services business had a $160.5 million term loan facility of which Macquarie Bank Limited originally provided $51.4 million. On January 14, 2005, we borrowed an additional $32 million from the original term loan facility to partly fund our acquisition of GAH. We paid $244,000 in financing costs in January 2005 to Macquarie Bank Limited in relation to these additional borrowings. We also paid debt advisory fees of $160,000 in January 2005 to Macquarie Securities. On June 30, 2005, Macquarie Bank Limited sold down $26 million of their loan to other banks and, as a result, Macquarie Bank Limited’s term loan to our airport services business was reduced to $25.4 million. We paid $2.2 million of interest on Macquarie Bank Limited’s portion of the outstanding loans under this facility from January 1, 2005 to December 13, 2005.
      On December 12, 2005, our airport services business entered into a loan agreement providing for $300 million of term loan borrowing and a $5 million revolving credit facility. On December 14, 2005, our airport services business drew down $300 million in term loans and repaid its then outstanding term loans in the amount of $198.6 million (including accrued interest and fees), including Macquarie Bank Limited’s portion of outstanding term loans described above. Macquarie Bank Limited is a lender in the new loan facility and has provided $60 million of the outstanding term loan, for which it received underwriting fees of $600,000. Macquarie Securities acted as financial advisor in connection with this transaction for which it received $2 million in advisory fees plus reimbursement for nominal expenses. Interest paid on Macquarie Bank Limited’s portion of the new loan facility for the period December 14, 2005 through to December 31, 2005 was $162,000 and for the first quarter of 2006 was $952,000.
Derivative Instruments
      We have entered into foreign exchange related derivative instruments with Macquarie Bank Limited to manage our exchange rate exposure on future cash flows from our non-U.S. investments. During 2005, we paid £2.6 million to Macquarie Bank Limited and received $4.9 million, which closed out two foreign currency forward contracts between the parties. As part of the settlement of these foreign currency forward contracts, Macquarie Bank Limited paid us $192,000. As of March 31, 2005, we have two other foreign currency forward contracts with Macquarie Bank Limited that are due to be settled in 2006. We also paid £5.5 million to Macquarie Bank Limited in 2005 and received $10.4 million, which closed out three foreign currency forward contracts between the parties. No additional payments or receipts arose from settlement of these foreign currency forward contracts.
      On November 21, 2005, MIC Inc. entered into two loan agreements dated as of November 17, 2005, each providing for $80 million of term loan borrowing, $160 million in aggregate, and a $20 million revolving credit facility, which we intend to use to partially fund the acquisition of The Gas Company, LLC, or TGC. The agreements contemplate borrowings of the term loans by the parent company of TGC of $60 million and by TGC of $60 million and of any amounts under the revolver facility, concurrently with our acquisition of those entities. On August 18, 2005, we entered into two interest rate swaps with Macquarie Bank Limited and two interest rates swaps with another bank, to manage our future interest rate exposure on intended drawdowns under this term loan facility for a notional value of $160 million. The effective date of the swaps is August 31, 2006 and no payments or receipts have arisen in relation to these swaps through March 31, 2006.
      Macquarie Bank Limited is also providing approximately one third of the interest rate swaps in connection with the loan facility provided to our airport services business and made a payment to us of $35,000 during 2005 and $54,000 in the first quarter of 2006 in connection with these swaps.

Contractual Arrangements
Our Manager’s Investment in the Trust and Registration Rights
      Our manager acquired 2,000,000 shares of trust stock from the company concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering with an aggregate purchase price of $50 million, at a purchase price per share equal to the initial public offering price of $25. Pursuant to the terms of the management services agreement (discussed below), our manager may sell up to 65% of these shares at any time and may sell the balance at any time from and after December 31, 2007. On April 19, 2005, we issued 433,001 shares of trust stock to our manager as consideration for the $12.1 million performance fee due for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004.
      We entered into a registration rights agreement with our manager under which we have agreed to file a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the resale of all the shares owned by our manager as soon as reasonably possible following December 21, 2005 to cover 30% of our manager’s initial investment as well as any additional shares purchased by our manager upon the reinvestment of any of its management fees. In addition, our manager may also require us to include its shares in future registration statements that we file, subject to cutback at the option of the underwriters of any such offering.
Management Services Agreement
      At the closing of our initial public offering, we entered into a management services agreement with our manager, providing for its management of our day-to-day operations and affairs and oversight of the management teams of our operating businesses.
      Secondment of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Neither the trust nor the company have any employees. Our manager has assigned, or seconded, to the company, on a permanent and wholly dedicated basis, two of its employees to assume the offices of chief executive officer and chief financial officer and makes other personnel available as required. The services performed for the company are provided at our manager’s cost, including the compensation of our seconded officers.
      Management Fees. We have agreed to pay our manager a base management fee based primarily on our market capitalization. In addition, to incentivize our manager to maximize shareholder returns, we have agreed to pay performance fees to our manager equal to 20% of the outperformance, if any, of quarterly total returns to shareholders compared to a weighted average of two benchmark indices, a U.S. utilities index and a European utilities index, weighted in proportion to our U.S. and non-U.S. equity investments. To be eligible for the performance fee, our manager must deliver total shareholder returns for the quarter that are positive and in excess of any prior underperformance. For the year ended December 31, 2005, base management fees of $9.3 million were payable to our manager. There was no performance fee payable to our manager for the year ended December 31, 2005. For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, a performance fee of $4,134,226 million is payable to our manager. Our manager has elected to apply the performance fee to a subscription for shares of trust stock which we expect will be issued in June 2006 at a per share price based on a volume weighted average trading price of the trust stock in accordance with the terms of the management services agreement. Base management fees for this period have not yet been determined.
      Our manager is not entitled to any other compensation and all costs incurred by our manager including compensation of seconded staff, are paid out of its management fee. However, the company is responsible for other direct costs including, but not limited to, expenses incurred in the administration or management of the company and its subsidiaries and investments, income taxes, audit and legal fees, and acquisitions and dispositions and its compliance with applicable laws and regulations. During the year ended December 31, 2005 and the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, we reimbursed our manager for $402,000 and $104,000, respectively, of its out-of-pocket expenses.
      Appointees to the Board. Under the terms of the management services agreement and the LLC agreement, for so long as our manager or any of its affiliates holds a total of 200,000 shares of trust stock (as adjusted to reflect any stock splits or similar recapitalizations), our manager has the right to appoint one director to the board of directors and an alternate for such appointee and such director, or alternate if

applicable, will serve as the chairman of our board. Our manager’s appointees will not receive any compensation (other than out-of-pocket expenses) and will not have any special voting rights. The appointees of our manager do not participate in decisions regarding, or vote on, any related party transaction in which any affiliate of our manager has an interest.
      Acquisition Opportunities. Under the terms of the management services agreement, our manager has exclusive responsibility for reviewing and making recommendations to the board with respect to acquisition opportunities and dispositions. In the event that an opportunity is not originated by our manager, our board must seek a recommendation from our manager prior to making a decision concerning any acquisition or disposition. Our manager and its affiliates refer to the company’s board of directors any acquisition opportunities in accordance with the U.S. acquisition priorities below that are made available by any source to the Infrastructure and Specialised Funds division of the Macquarie Group unless our chief executive officer determines that such opportunity does not meet our acquisition criteria adopted by the company’s board of directors.
      We have first priority ahead of all current and future entities managed by our manager or by members of the Macquarie Group within the Infrastructure and Specialised Funds division in each of the following infrastructure acquisition opportunities that are within the United States:

affiliate where such party offers the opportunity exclusively to the company and not to any other entity managed by our manager or any manager affiliate within the Infrastructure and Specialised Funds division of the Macquarie Group.
      Preferred Financial Advisor. Affiliates of the Macquarie Group, including Macquarie Securities, have preferred provider status in respect of any financial advisory services to be contracted for by us. We will contract for such services on an arm’s-length basis on market terms upon approval by our audit committee, which is comprised of three independent directors. Any fees payable for such financial advisory services are in addition to fees paid under the management services agreement. Macquarie Securities has been engaged as our financial advisor in connection with several other pending transactions for which no fees have been paid to date.
Other Related Party Transactions
      We have paid fees for employee consulting services to the Detroit and Canada Tunnel Corporation, which is owned by an entity managed by the Macquarie Group. Fees paid for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $173,000 and for the first quarter of 2006 were $13,000.

The graph sets the beginning value of shares of trust stock and the indices at $100, and assumes that all quarterly dividends were reinvested at the time of payment. This graph does not forecast future performance of shares of trust stock.

The Board and each committee will meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. In addition, directors are expected to use reasonable efforts to attend annual meetings of shareholders.
      The Chairman of the Board will prepare the agenda for each Board meeting. While the Chairman of the Board will set the agenda initially, each director is free to suggest the inclusion of items on the agenda.
      Information and data that are important to the Board’s understanding of the business to be conducted at a Board or committee meeting should, to the extent practical, be distributed in writing to the directors sufficiently in advance of the meeting to permit meaningful review. Directors are expected to review in detail the provided materials in advance of each meeting.
          C. Meetings of Non-Management Directors
      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 directors, as discussed below, the independent directors of the Company will meet in regularly scheduled executive session at least once annually.
      The Lead Independent Director, or alternatively the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or Compensation Committee, will preside at executive sessions of non-management directors as determined by the non-executive directors based upon the subject matter to be discussed.
      In order to facilitate the ability of interested parties to communicate with and make their concerns known to the non-management directors on a confidential basis, the Audit Committee will establish an electronic mailing address and a physical mailing address to which such communications may be sent. The address for

such communications will be published in the Company’s annual proxy statement and on the Company’s website.
          D. Board Interaction with Institutional Investors, Research Analysts and the Media
      As a general rule, management will speak on behalf of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC. Comments and other statements from the entire Board, if appropriate, will generally be made by the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. Generally, each director will refer all inquiries from third parties to management.
          E. Communications with Shareholders
      In addition to providing a means for communicating with non-management directors, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC will establish an electronic mailing address and a physical mailing address to which shareholders may communicate their views regarding the company to the entire Board. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC will publish the addresses for such communications in its annual proxy statement and on its website. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC’s process for collecting and organizing shareholder communications to the Board shall be approved by a majority of independent directors.
II. Composition and Selection of the Board
          A. Size and Composition of the Board
      The current size of the Board is four, which the Board believes is appropriate. The Board will assess its size from time to time to determine whether its size continues to be appropriate. The size shall in no circumstances be less than four directors or more than twelve directors.
          B. Board Membership Criteria
      The Board will have a majority of directors who meet the criteria for independence required by the NYSE. In addition, the Board will have a sufficient number of independent directors to meet the requirements of applicable law, including legal requirements applicable to the Manager for so long as the Management Services Agreement is in effect. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will monitor compliance with the NYSE requirements for director independence on an ongoing basis. Each independent director is expected to notify the General Counsel of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC and the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as soon as reasonably practicable in the event that his or her personal circumstances change in a manner that may affect the Board’s evaluation of such director’s independence. In accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement, an independent director who at any time ceases to be independent shall resign to the extent required for Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC or the Manager to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
      The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board, on an annual basis, the composition of the Board as a whole, and whether Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC is being well served by the directors taking into account the director’s independence, age, skills, experience and availability for service.
      With the exception of the director appointed by the Manager of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will recommend director nominees to the Board in accordance with the policies and principles in its Charter and any other procedures or criteria it may establish from time to time. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review all candidates for nomination to the Board submitted by shareholders and shall periodically review Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC’s procedures for shareholder nominations of directors. In furtherance of such shareholder action, the Company shall designate in its proxy and on its website a means for shareholders to recommend director nominees to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Any invitation to join the Board shall be extended by the Chairman of the Board.

      With the exception of the Manager-appointed director, all directors, including employee directors, who retire from or change the job or the principal responsibility they held when they were selected for the Board will advise the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of such retirement or change in order to give the Board an opportunity, through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, to review whether it is appropriate for such director to continue to be a member of the Board under these circumstances.
III. Board Committees
          A. Composition and Responsibilities
      The Board will have at all times an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and any other committees the Board deems appropriate.

The Board will appoint the Chairman of each committee annually upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
      The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will annually review committee assignments and will consider the rotation of committee chairs and members with a view toward balancing the benefits derived from continuity against the benefits derived from the diversity of experience and viewpoints of the various directors.
          B. Charters
      The Board will adopt charters setting forth the purposes, goals and responsibilities of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and any other committees the Board deems appropriate, as well as qualifications for committee membership, procedures for committee member appointment and removal, committee structure and operations and committee reporting to the Board.

      The Board and each committee may hire independent legal, financial or other advisors as they may deem necessary in the performance of their duties.

          C. Internal Reporting
      The Audit Committee shall establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters and shall review reports regarding alleged violations of the Code of Ethics and Conduct or other company policies.
      Management of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC is encouraged to initiate direct contact with the Chairman of the Audit Committee if they believe that there is a matter that should be brought to the attention of the Board.

      All new directors should be provided with these Corporate Governance Guidelines and will participate in the company’s orientation initiatives as soon as practicable after the annual meeting at which new directors are elected.

VI. Director Compensation
      The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will annually review the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, and the Board will approve, the form and amount of director compensation, if any, in accordance with the corporate policies and principles relevant to director compensation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider that directors’ independence may be jeopardized if director compensation exceeds customary levels, if substantial charitable contributions are made to organizations with which a director is affiliated, or if other indirect forms of compensation are made to a director or an organization with which the director is affiliated.
VII. Manager Evaluation and Succession Policies
      The Compensation Committee will review the performance of the Manager under the Management Services Agreement, review and approve the calculations of fees and components thereof payable under the Management Services Agreement to the Manager and evaluate and make recommendations to the Board regarding director compensation and equity plans.
