NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

The CPP Investment Board (CPPIB) announced today that the security holders of Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group (MCG) voted in favour of accepting CPPIB's proposal to acquire all the stapled securities of MCG(1) which was initially announced on March 30, 2009.

CPPIB's proposal represents a total equity value of MCG at A$1.64 billion (approximately C$1.52 billion). The total consideration for the transaction, including amounts used to repay debt, is expected to be approximately A$2.2 billion (approximately C$2.1 billion).

Mark Wiseman, Senior Vice-President, Private Investments said: "We are pleased that MCG's security holders voted overwhelmingly in favour of our proposal. As a long-term investor, we look forward to working with each MCG portfolio company management team to continue developing and growing their respective businesses. This transaction enables us to expand our infrastructure portfolio with the acquisition of a diversified group of high-quality infrastructure assets that we believe will deliver stable cash flows to the CPP Fund for many years to come."

The transaction, proposed to be implemented via inter-conditional schemes of arrangement, is still subject to formal court approval in Bermuda and Australia on July 2, 2009 and July 3, 2009 respectively.
