Section 19(b) disclosure
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.	May 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (MGU or Fund), acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exemptive order and with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the Board), has adopted a plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies, to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (Plan). In accordance with the Plan, the Fund currently distributes $0.42 per share on a quarterly basis.

The fixed amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of the Fund’s Board. Under the Plan, the Fund will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its primary investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code). If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each quarterly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Fund to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. The Fund’s total investment return on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Fund’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Fund is subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on its ability to maintain

level distributions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, increased market volatility, companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks.

A cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for the Fund’s current fiscal period, if applicable, is included in Additional Information. Section 19(a) notices for the Fund, as applicable, are available on the Fund’s website at macquarie.com/mgu.

Semiannual Commentary
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.	May 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Investment Strategy

The Manager seeks to identify and select investments in infrastructure companies that over the long term are anticipated to produce returns commensurate with the underlying risks of the investment. The Manager believes that analysis of the underlying assets of an infrastructure company is key to determining the long-term quality of the potential revenue and income streams. The Manager adopts a systematic, fundamentals-based approach to identifying long-term potential value in infrastructure companies and continues its strategy of utilizing detailedbottom-up fundamental analysis to select undervalued businesses with predictable cashflows, which are generally derived from monopolistic or near monopolistic essential service assets. The Fund is diversified in terms of asset classes and geographic region, its businesses are robust through the cycle, and its selection process includes ensuring they are appropriately capitalized.

Market Review

The beginning of the period saw volatility persist in markets, as sentiment was impacted by events including the US Federal Reserve rate hike, the partial US government shutdown, Brexit concerns and weakness in the oil market. Some reprieve did come towards the year end, due to large pension fund purchases of equities as part of theirquarter-end rebalancing which helped to stabilize markets.China-US trade negotiations also appeared to be progressing positively, with China proposing significant tariff cuts.

After a volatile fourth quarter that saw a sharp decline in risk assets, markets posted a strong rebound to start the year. In January, US equities posting their biggest one month gain since 1987, which saw credit strengthen and undo December weakness as well as bonds marginally weaken. The equity market rally continued into February

and March and finished the quarter on a positive note as they hit theirsix-month high.

The positive momentum for risk assets continued in April with the S&P 500^® Index reaching newall-time highs. In economic data, there was a surprisingly strong first quarter gross domestic product (GDP) print in the US with GDP growing at a 3.2% annual pace in the first quarter.

At the end of the period, risk assets were weaker amid an escalation in trade tensions, including the targeting of individual corporates and a broadening outside the bilateralUS-China negotiations to now include Mexico. Trade was front and center in terms of the key market driver commencing with US President Trump’s threat to increase tariffs on $US200billion of goods from China from 10% to 25%. The deadline for this tariff increase was May 10 at 12.01am, though markets stabilized somewhat as China said that its delegation would still travel to the US for talks.

Semiannual Commentary

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.

Key contributors to performance

● The key stock contributors to absolute performance during the period included:

º Transurban Group, an Australia Toll Roads company;

º Enbridge Inc, a Canada Pipeline company; and

º Atlantia, an Italy Toll Roads company.

● The key stock detractors from absolute performance during the period included:

º P G & E Corp, an US Electric Utility company;

º Aleatica, a Mexico Toll Roads company; and

º Enbridge Energy Partners, a North American pipeline operator.

Outlook

The more dovish stance from global central banks, including the Fed, has been encouraging given the recent slowdown in global economic indicators and the escalating trade dispute. With most of the current risk concerns surrounding the trade dispute, there is a limit to what support from central banks can do. We continue to believe there are opportunities to participate in the Infrastructure sector with a strong risk management focus and a focus on avoiding names that may suffer from idiosyncratic risks.

The infrastructure assets owned and operated by the well diversified range of infrastructure companies in the portfolio continue to perform well. The portfolio strategy is little changed overall. Fund positioning continues to exhibit a diversity of exposures across different geographies and sectors. We remain confident in our portfolio’s positioning and believe quality and defensive assets that are underpinned by long-term, stable cash flows will continue to be attractive to investors around the world.

This document has been prepared by Macquarie Investment Business Trust (“MIMBT”).

These statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from this commentary and outlook.

³  Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a common share at the opening on the first day and a sale at closing on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total returns exclude brokerage commissions on buying and selling of Fund shares, but do include commissions on buying and selling the underlying portfolio securities. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

⁴  For the six months ended May 31, 2019, and the years ended November 30, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the annualized ratios to Total Assets were 1.74%, 1.92%, 1.58%, 1.88%, 1.89%, and 1.53%, respectively. The prospectus for the Fund defines Total Assets as Total Net Assets plus leverage.

⁵  Asset coverage ratios are calculated based on Total Assets as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus. (See Note 6)

Notes to financial statements
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.	May 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (Fund) is a diversified,closed-end investment management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Fund’s shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker “MGU”.

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide to its common stockholders a high level of total return consisting of dividends and other income and capital appreciation.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation— The net asset value (NAV) of the Fund’s shares of common stock will be computed based upon the value of the securities and other assets and liabilities held by the Fund. The NAV is determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. US debt securities andnon-US securities will normally be priced using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the NYSE on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If, on a particular day, an equity security does not trade, the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. US equity securities traded in theover-the-counter market, but excluding securities admitted to trading on the Nasdaq National Market, are valued at the closing bid prices. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Investments in repurchase agreements are generally valued at par, which approximates fair value, each business day. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily innon-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. Whenever such a significant event occurs, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing). Restricted securities are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board.

16

Federal and Foreign Income Taxes— No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are“more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the“more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current years. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the Fund’s federal/state income tax returns through the six months ended May 31, 2019 and for all open federal income tax years (years ended November 30, 2016–November 30, 2018) and all open state income tax years (years ended November 30, 2013–November 30, 2018), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. In regard to foreign taxes only, the Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries in which it invests that may date back to the inception of the Fund. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the “Statement of operations.” During the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents— Cash equivalents are funds (proceeds) temporarily invested in original maturities of 90 days or less.

Restricted Cash— As of May 31, 2019, the Fund did not classify any funds (proceeds) as restricted.

Foreign Currency Transactions— Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into US dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the US dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally does not bifurcate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. These gains and losses are included on the “Statement of operations” under “Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments.” The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Distributions to Shareholders— The Fund intends to distribute to holders of its common shares quarterly distributions of all or a portion of its net income and/or realized gains after payment of interest in connection with any leverage used by the Fund. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on theex-dividend date.

17

Notes to financial statements

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Fund has received approval from the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for exemption from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act, and Rule19b-1 thereunder permitting the Fund to make periodic distributions of long-term capital gains more frequently than otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act, provided that the Fund adheres to the distribution policy that requires the Fund to make level distributions each quarter to shareholders of common stock after payment of interest on any outstanding borrowings.

Net investment income/loss and net realized gain/loss may differ for financial statements and tax purposes. The tax character of the distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

Other— Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxablenon-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on theex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. Distributions received from Master Limited Partnerships are recorded as return on capital on theex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on theex-dividend date or as soon after theex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings, a portion of which may be reclaimable. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

2. Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, Affiliated Transactions and Administration Agreements

On July 10, 2018, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s Investment Management Agreement dated August 22, 2005 (Advisory Agreement), pursuant to which Macquarie Capital Investment Management LLC (MCIM) serves as the Fund’s investment manager and is responsible for determining the Fund’s overall investment strategy and implementation throughday-to-day portfolio management, subject to the general supervision of the Fund’s Board.

In connection with the restructuring of a portion of MCIM’s advisory business, MCIM and Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (“MIMBT”), through its Delaware Management Company series, entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on May 1, 2019 where MIMBT agreed to assume and perform all the investment advisory services and related portfolio management duties provided by MCIM to the Fund pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. In particular, MIMBT agreed to assume the Advisory Agreement in its entirety and to perform and be bound by all of the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the obligations and duties of MCIM thereunder. MCIM and MIMBT are each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited.

MIMBT is also responsible for managing the Fund’s business affairs, overseeing other service providers and providing management services. As compensation for its services to the Fund, MIMBT receives an

18

annual management fee, payable on a quarterly basis, equal to the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s Total Assets (as defined below) up to and including $300 million, 0.90% of the Fund’s Total Assets over $300 million up to and including $500 million, and 0.65% of the Fund’s Total Assets over $500 million. Total Assets of the Fund, for the purpose of this calculation, include the aggregate of the Fund’s average daily net assets plus proceeds from any outstanding borrowings used for leverage.

The Fund may place a portion of its portfolio transactions with a brokerage firm which is an affiliate of MIMBT. There were no commissions paid to the affiliated firm for the six months ended May 31, 2019.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (Computershare) serves as the Fund’s Transfer Agent, dividend-paying agent, and registrar. As compensation for Computershare’s services, the Fund pays Computershare a monthly fee plus certainout-of-pocket expenses.

3. Investments

For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. government securities and short-term investments as follows:

Purchases	$	230,617,653
Sales		245,159,116

At May 31, 2019, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives for federal income tax purposes have been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At May 31, 2019, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and derivatives for the Fund were as follows:

Cost of investments and derivatives	$	423,982,814
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments and derivatives	$	47,189,045
Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments and derivatives		(34,528,146	)
Net unrealized appreciation of investments and derivatives	$	12,660,899

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below and on the next page.

Level 1 –  Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities,open-end investment companies, futures contracts, exchange-traded options contracts)

19

Notes to financial statements

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.

3. Investments (continued)

Level 2 –

Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

Level 3 –

Significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy as of May 31, 2019:

Securities	Level 1		Level 2			Total
Assets:
Common Stock	$	409,888,153	$	11,669,385		$	421,557,538
Master Limited Partnerships		15,086,175		—			15,086,175
Total Value of Securities	$	424,974,328	$	11,669,385		$	436,643,713
Derivatives1
Liabilities:
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts	$	—	$	(22,764	)	$	(22,764	)

¹Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument at the period end.

During the six months ended May 31, 2019, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities in the Fund occurs when market volatility exceeds an established threshold. If the threshold is exceeded on a given date, then prices of international securities (those that traded on exchanges that close at a different time than the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined) are established using a separate pricing feed from a third-party vendor designed to establish a price for each such security as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined. Further, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing

20

exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to the Fund’s net assets. During the six months ended May 31, 2019, there were no Level 3 investments.

4. Capital Transactions

	Six months ended		Year ended
	5/31/19		11/30/18
Shares:
Common Shares Outstanding - beginning of period		12,468,293		12,468,293
Common Shares Outstanding - end of period		12,468,293		12,468,293

5. Derivatives

US GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts –The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the Fund may enter into these contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

During the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions.

5. Derivatives (continued)

During the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Fund experienced net realized gains or losses attributable to foreign currency holdings, which is disclosed as on the “Statement of assets and liabilities” and “Statement of operations.”

Derivatives generally. The table below summarizes the average balance of derivative holdings by the Fund during the six months ended May 31, 2019:

	Long Derivatives		Short Derivatives
	Volume		Volume
Foreign currency exchange contracts (average cost)		$1,229,100		$2,229,554

6. Leverage

The Fund has entered into a Committed Facility Agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International Ltd. (the BNP Paribas Facility or the Agreement), which provides for a committed credit facility to be used as leverage for the Fund. The BNP Paribas Facility provides for secured, committed lines of credit for the Fund, where selected Fund assets are pledged against advances made to the Fund. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund, after any such borrowings, must have asset coverage of at least 300% (33 1/3% of the Fund’s Total Assets after borrowings). Under the current terms, the total amount of loans that may be outstanding at any one time, or the Maximum Commitment Financing (MCF), under the BNP Paribas Facility is $120,000,000 and Euro 40,000,000. The Fund may reduce the MCF by a total aggregate amount of up to $20,000,000 upon one business day’s prior notice (no more than one time per calendar month). The Fund pays 0.55% per annum above3-month LIBOR for the U.S. Dollar line and 0.55% above the3-month EURIBOR for the Euro line.

On July 23, 2014, $60,000,000 of the U.S. Dollar line was fixed for a five year period. As of July 26, 2018, the rate wasre-negotiated to 2.303% for the remaining term of the five year period. At the end of that five year period, the rate will be adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with the modified following business day convention, unless the parties agree in writing to amend or extend the term of the relevant fixed rate period. The Fund paid an arrangement fee of 0.25% on the fixed rate borrowing.

As of May 31, 2019, the Fund had $33,000,000 and Euro 40,000,000 in leverage outstanding on the variable lines and $60,000,000 outstanding on the fixed line. The carrying values of the loan approximate fair values. The daily average amounts outstanding over the period on the variable line was $27,120,879, with an average rate on the borrowing of 3.206%, and Euro 40,000,000 with the average rate on borrowing of 0.272%.

The unused amount under the BNP Paribas Facility was $27,000,000 at May 31, 2019. The loan payable is carried at value, and the Euro line is adjusted daily for foreign currency translation. At May 31, 2019, the Fund maintained an asset coverage of 333%, and the market value of the securities pledged as collateral for the BNP Paribas Facility totaled $426,726,221.

7. Soft Dollar Arrangement

MCIM maintains commission sharing arrangements with various executing brokers in which a portion of total commissions paid by the Fund is allocated to a pool of “credits” maintained by a broker. These credits may be used to pay for a portion of MCIM’s permitted investment research services.

22

8. Compensation of Directors

Thenon-interested Directors of the Fund receive a quarterly retainer of $10,000 and the Chairman of the Board of Directors receives a quarterly retainer of $12,188.Non-interested Directors and the Chairman also receive an additional $2,500 for each meeting attended, and $1,500 for each telephonic meeting. Additionalout-of-pocket expenses are paid as incurred.

9. Credit and Market Risk

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to MCIM, theday-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the “Schedule of investments.” Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the security valuation procedures described in Note 1.

10. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU2018-13, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those

fiscal years, beginning after Dec. 15, 2019. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

12. Subsequent Events

Investment Advisory and Management Agreement— On July 18, 2019, the Board approved the renewal of the investment advisory and management agreement with MIMBT.

Management has determined that no other material events or transactions occurred subsequent to May 31, 2019, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Additional information (Unaudited)

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Unless a stockholder of the Fund (Stockholder) elects to receive cash distributions, all dividends, including any capital gain dividends, on the Stockholder’s Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Agent, Computershare, in additional Common Shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. If a Stockholder elects to receive cash distributions, the Stockholder will receive all distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the Stockholder by Computershare, as dividend paying agent.

If a Stockholder decides to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares the Stockholder will receive will be determined as follows:

● If Common Shares are trading at or above Net Asset Value (NAV) at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) NAV per Common Share on that date or (ii) 95% of the market price on that date.

● If Common Shares are trading below NAV at the time of valuation, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Fund. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market within 30 days of the valuation date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with federal securities laws. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments.

A Stockholder may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Agent, or by telephone in accordance with such reasonable requirements as the Plan Agent and Fund may agree upon. If a Stockholder withdraws or the Plan is terminated, the Stockholder will receive a certificate for each whole share in its account under the Plan and the Stockholder will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in its account. If the Stockholder wishes, the Plan Agent will sell the Stockholder’s shares and send the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions, if any, to the Stockholder.

The Plan Agent maintains all Stockholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information a Stockholder may need for tax records. Common Shares in an account will be held by the Plan Agent innon-certificated form. The Plan Agent will forward to each participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any shares so held only in accordance with proxies returned to the Fund. Any proxy a Stockholder receives will include all Common Shares received under the Plan.

There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of a Stockholder’s dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (continued)

Automatically reinvesting dividends and distributions does not mean that a Stockholder does not have to pay income taxes due upon receiving dividends and distributions.

If a Stockholder holds Common Shares with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the Plan, the Stockholder will not be able to participate in the Plan and any dividend reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those described above. Stockholders should consult their financial adviser for more information.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan if in the judgment of the Board of Directors the change is warranted. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare, PO Box 505000, Louisville, KY 40233 or Computershare, 462 South 4th Street, Louisville, KY 40202 (for overnight courier),1-866-587-4518.

Section 19(a) Notices

The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act, as amended, and the related rules adopted there under. The Fund estimates the following percentages, of the total distribution amount per share, attributable to (i) current and prior fiscal year net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain, and (iv) return of capital or other capital source as a percentage of the total distribution amount. These percentages are disclosed for the fiscalyear-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for the Fund.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in these 19(a) notices are only estimates and not for tax reporting purposes.

The Fund’s distribution policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a quarterly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Fund may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular quarter and may at times in any particular quarter pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that quarter. As a result, the distributions paid by the Fund for any particular quarter may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such quarter. The Fund’s current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statement of assets and liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.
