(1) Based upon the number of shares of common stock of Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (“common stock”), a Delaware corporation (“MIC Corp.”), expected to be issued to the existing holders of limited liability company interests of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, upon consummation of the conversion and based on the number of limited liability company interests of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (“LLC interests”) issued and outstanding on April 9, 2015.
(2) Pursuant to Rule 457(f)(1) under the Securities Act, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price of common stock was calculated based upon the market value of shares of LLC interests in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act as follows: (a) the product of (i) $75.91, the average of the high and low prices per share of LLC interests on February 13, 2015, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, multiplied by (ii) 71,231,631, the number of shares of common stock of MIC Corp. registered in connection with the initial filing of the registrant’s registration statement on Form S-4 on February 18, 2015 plus (b) the product of (i) $82.22, the average of the high and low prices per share of LLC interests on April 9, 2015, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, multiplied by (ii) 8,106,581, the number of additional shares of common stock that are being registered in connection with this Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-4.

MIC LLC previously paid a fee of $628,315.84 in connection with the initial filing of the registrant’s registration statement on Form S-4 filed on February 18, 2015.

PRELIMINARY — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED APRIL 10, 2015

[GRAPHIC MISSING]

PROPOSED CONVERSION — YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

To the Shareholders of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC:

The board of directors of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (“MIC LLC”) has approved (i) a plan of conversion, including the conversion, certificate of incorporation and bylaws contemplated thereby (collectively, the “plan of conversion”), dated as of April 10, 2015, providing for the conversion of MIC LLC from a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware to Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“MIC Corp.”), subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions (including the approval of MIC LLC’s shareholders), and (ii) the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“preferred stock”), that may be issued from time to time, conditioned on the approval of MIC LLC’s shareholders of such authorization and the consummation of the conversion.

The transactions contemplated by the plan of conversion, including the conversion of MIC LLC from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation, and adoption of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws contemplated thereby, are referred to herein collectively as the “conversion.” At the effective time of the conversion, each outstanding limited liability company interest of MIC LLC (“LLC interest”) will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of MIC Corp. (“common stock”). Concurrently with the conversion, Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., the manager of MIC LLC (the “manager”), will be issued 100 shares of special stock, par value $0.001 per share, of MIC Corp. (“special stock”). The sole purpose for the issuance of shares of special stock to the manager is to preserve the manager’s existing right to appoint one director who will serve as the chairman of the board of directors of MIC LLC pursuant to the terms of MIC LLC’s current operating agreement, which right would otherwise be lost upon consummation of the conversion. Following the conversion and the issuance of special stock, the manager’s right to elect one director will be the same as is currently in effect. We are not granting any additional rights to the manager through the special stock issuance.

The board of directors of MIC LLC (1) has determined that the plan of conversion and the authorization of preferred stock are advisable and in the best interests of MIC LLC and its shareholders, (2) has unanimously approved the plan of conversion and the authorization of preferred stock and (3) recommends that the shareholders of MIC LLC approve (A) the plan of conversion (the “conversion proposal”) and (B) the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, that may be issued from time to time (the “preferred stock proposal”). Consummation of the preferred stock proposal is conditioned on MIC LLC’s shareholders approving the preferred stock proposal and consummation of the conversion, but consummation of the conversion is not conditioned on MIC LLC’s shareholders approving the preferred stock proposal. The board of directors of MIC LLC recommends that you vote FOR the conversion proposal, FOR the preferred stock proposal and FOR the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals (the “adjournment proposal”).

Your vote is very important.   MIC LLC cannot consummate the conversion unless, among other things, the holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon vote to approve the conversion proposal. MIC LLC cannot authorize preferred stock unless the conversion is consummated and the holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon vote to approve the preferred stock proposal. MIC LLC will hold a special meeting of shareholders (the “special meeting”) to vote on approval of the conversion proposal, the preferred stock proposal and the adjournment proposal. The special meeting will be held at the date, time and location set forth below unless adjourned or postponed. Regardless of whether you plan to attend the special

meeting, please take the time to submit your proxy by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card. If you hold your LLC interests through an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution, please follow the instructions you receive from them to vote your LLC interests.

Special Meeting:

[      ],[      ] 2015 at [      ], at [      ].

Before casting your vote, please take the time to review carefully this proxy statement/prospectus, including the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” beginning on page 21 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the risks relating to the conversion.

On behalf of the board of directors and management of MIC LLC, I extend our appreciation for your participation and interest in MIC LLC.

Sincerely,
 
Martin Stanley
Chairman of the Board of Directors

Q: What is the purpose of the special meeting?
A: The shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on proposals to approve (i) a plan of conversion, including the conversion, certificate of incorporation and bylaws contemplated thereby, which is referred to, collectively, as the plan of conversion in this proxy statement/prospectus and the form of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus, and the transactions contemplated thereby, which is referred to, collectively, as the conversion in this proxy statement/prospectus, dated as of April 10, 2015, providing for the conversion of MIC LLC from a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware to MIC Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, which is referred to as the conversion proposal in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, that may be issued from time to time, which is referred to as preferred stock in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the bracketed provisions in the proposed certificate of incorporation, conditioned on consummation of the conversion, which is referred to as the preferred stock proposal in this proxy statement/prospectus, and (iii) adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals, which is referred to as the adjournment proposal in this proxy statement/prospectus. The conversion proposal includes adoption of the form of certificate of conversion, certificate of incorporation and bylaws of MIC Corp. under the laws of the State of Delaware, which are attached as Annex A-1, Annex A-2 and Annex A-3, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus, and referred to as the certificate of conversion, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, respectively, in this proxy statement/prospectus, each to become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of the conversion. The holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon must approve the conversion proposal before the conversion can occur. The holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon must approve the preferred stock proposal before MIC Corp. can authorize preferred stock. The holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of LLC interests present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is required to approve the adjournment proposal.
Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting. This proxy statement/prospectus describes in detail the issues on which MIC LLC would like you, as a shareholder, to vote. It also provides you with

1


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

important information about this issue to enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to vote your LLC interests for the matters described herein.
Q: What proposals are to be considered and voted upon at the special meeting?
A: The shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon:
1. a proposal to approve the plan of conversion, including the conversion, certificate of incorporation and bylaws contemplated thereby;
2. a proposal to approve the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock and the bracketed provisions in the certificate of incorporation; and
3. a proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals.

Consummation of the preferred stock proposal is conditioned on shareholder approval of the preferred stock proposal and consummation of the conversion, but consummation of the conversion is not conditioned on shareholder approval of the preferred stock proposal. These proposals are more fully described in the sections entitled “The Conversion Proposal,” “The Preferred Stock Proposal,” and “Adjournment of the Special Meeting to Solicit Additional Proxies” beginning on pages 30 , 35 and 37 , respectively, of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: Why am I being asked to approve the conversion proposal?
A: You are being asked to vote upon the conversion proposal in connection with the conversion of MIC LLC from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, which is referred to as the DLLCA in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the third amended and restated operating agreement of MIC LLC, which is referred to as the operating agreement in this proxy statement/prospectus, the conversion proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. In determining that the conversion is in the best interests of the shareholders, the board of directors considered a number of potential benefits to the shareholders, including, but not limited to, the following:
as a corporation, MIC Corp. would be eligible for inclusion in certain stock indices, which could increase demand for MIC Corp.’s securities. In addition, institutional and other investors might find it easier to invest in a corporation than a limited liability company, which is referred to as an LLC in this proxy statement/prospectus, due to restrictions on the ability of certain investors to invest in LLCs, as well as the perceived ease of understanding by investors generally of the Delaware corporate form;
the Delaware General Corporation Law, which is referred to as the DGCL in this proxy statement/prospectus, is generally acknowledged to be the most advanced corporate law in the United States, is responsive to the changing needs of businesses, and has a well-established body of corporate case law; and
incorporation may enhance MIC Corp.’s ability to attract and retain directors because many qualified candidates are already familiar and comfortable with the DGCL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q: Why am I being asked to approve the preferred stock proposal?
A: You are being asked to vote upon the preferred stock proposal in connection with the conversion of MIC LLC from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation and in the event that the conversion is consummated. In determining that the authorization of preferred stock is in the best interests of the shareholders, the board of directors considered a number of potential benefits to the shareholders, including, but not limited to, the following:
provide MIC Corp. with increased flexibility to meet future capital requirements through equity financings without the delay and expense ordinarily attendant to obtaining further shareholder approvals; and
improve MIC Corp.’s ability to attract needed investment capital, as various series of the preferred stock may be customized to meet the needs of any particular transaction or market conditions.
Q: What will shareholders receive as a result of the conversion?
A: At the effective time of the conversion, each outstanding LLC interest will be converted into one share of common stock. Concurrently with the conversion, Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., the manager of MIC LLC, which is referred to as the manager in this proxy statement/prospectus, will be issued 100 shares of special stock in order to induce the manager to enter into the Third Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement, to be entered into on or about the effective date of the conversion, among MIC Corp., Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings Inc., certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of MIC Corp. and the manager, which is referred to as the amended management services agreement in this proxy statement/prospectus. The sole purpose for the issuance of shares of special stock to the manager is to preserve the manager’s existing right to appoint one director who will serve as the chairman of the board of directors of MIC LLC pursuant to the operating agreement. This right of the manager would otherwise be lost upon consummation of the conversion. Following the conversion and the issuance of special stock, the manager’s right to elect one director will be the same as is currently in effect. MIC Corp. is not granting any additional rights to the manager through the special stock issuance. If the preferred stock proposal is consummated, the consent of the manager, as holder of shares of special stock, will be required for MIC Corp. to issue preferred stock. For a more complete description of the manager and its interests in connection with the conversion, see the section entitled “Interests of Directors and Officers in the Conversion” beginning on page 33 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q: How will the business and control of MIC LLC change as a result of the conversion?
A: The business of MIC Corp. will be the same as the business of MIC LLC and is not expected to result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of any of the offices, number of employees, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the conversion). The conversion is not expected to result in a change in MIC LLC’s current trading status on the New York Stock Exchange, which is referred to as the NYSE in this proxy statement/prospectus, and MIC Corp.’s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “MIC” upon the effective time of the conversion. MIC LLC’s management, including all directors and officers, will remain the same in connection with the conversion and will assume identical positions with MIC Corp., except that the positions of alternate chairman and alternate committee chairmen provided for under the operating agreement will no longer exist at MIC Corp. The conversion will effect certain changes of a legal nature, the most significant of which are described in the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Shareholders Before and After the Conversion” beginning on page 44 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q: What vote is required to approve the conversion proposal?
A: Approval of the conversion proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. You may vote FOR or AGAINST or you may ABSTAIN from voting on the conversion proposal. An abstention, a failure to submit a proxy or to attend the special meeting in person or a broker non-vote will have the effect of a vote against the conversion proposal.

You may vote FOR or AGAINST or you may ABSTAIN from voting on the preferred stock proposal. An abstention, a failure to submit a proxy or to attend the special meeting in person or a broker non-vote will have the effect of a vote against the preferred stock proposal.
Q: What vote is required to approve the adjournment proposal?
A: Approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of LLC interests present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon. You may vote FOR or AGAINST or you may ABSTAIN from voting on the adjournment proposal. An abstention will have the effect of a vote against the adjournment proposal. A failure to submit a proxy or to attend the special meeting in person or a broker non-vote will not have an effect on a vote to approve the adjournment proposal.
Q: What is the quorum required to vote on the conversion proposal, the preferred stock proposal and the adjournment proposal?
A: Under the operating agreement, the shareholders participating in person or by proxy holding a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders of MIC LLC. Holders of record of LLC interests as of the record date are the only shareholders entitled to vote at the special meeting. LLC interests represented by proxies that are marked “abstain” will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A failure to submit a proxy or to attend the special meeting in person or a broker non-vote will not be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when the broker holding LLC interests 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. The conversion proposal, the preferred stock proposal and the adjournment proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus are “non-discretionary” items, which means that your LLC interests may not be voted on by brokers, banks, or other shareholders of record unless they receive specific instructions from you. If you do not provide specific voting instructions, your LLC interests will be recorded as a broker non-vote and will not be counted as a vote cast for purposes of calculating voting results.

If the persons participating or represented by proxies at the special meeting do not constitute a majority of the holders of outstanding LLC interests entitled to vote as of the record date, the board of directors will adjourn or postpone the special meeting to a later date. Other than an announcement to be made at the special meeting of the time, date and place of an adjourned meeting, an adjournment generally may be made without notice.

Q: Who is entitled to vote on the conversion proposal, the preferred stock proposal and the adjournment proposal?
A: All shareholders of record who owned LLC interests at the close of business on the record date are being asked to vote on the conversion proposal, the preferred stock proposal and the adjournment proposal.
Q: How did the board of directors vote on the conversion proposal?
A: The board of directors unanimously approved the conversion proposal. However, the conversion will not occur unless and until the conversion proposal has been approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon and certain other conditions to the conversion proposal are satisfied or waived. If the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal are approved at the special meeting, then MIC LLC does not intend to call a vote to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q: How did the board of directors vote on the preferred stock proposal?
A: The board of directors unanimously approved the preferred stock proposal. However, preferred stock will not be authorized unless and until the conversion is consummated and the preferred stock proposal has been approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. As noted above, if the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal are approved at the special meeting, then MIC LLC does not intend to call a vote to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies.
Q: How will a vote in favor of the conversion proposal affect the shareholders?
A: If the conversion proposal is approved by the shareholders, MIC LLC will convert from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation. The rights of the shareholders in MIC Corp. as a corporation are different from their rights as a member of an LLC. This proxy statement/prospectus describes these differences. Upon the conversion, each outstanding LLC interest will be converted into one share of common stock. Concurrently with the conversion, the manager will be issued 100 shares of special stock in order to induce the manager to enter into the amended management services agreement. The sole purpose for the issuance of shares of special stock to the manager is to preserve the manager’s existing right to appoint one director who will serve as the chairman of the board of directors of MIC LLC pursuant to the terms the operating agreement, which right would otherwise be lost upon consummation of the conversion. Following the conversion and the issuance of special stock, the manager’s right to elect one director will be the same as is currently in effect. MIC Corp. is not granting any additional rights to the manager through the special stock issuance. For a more detailed description of the conversion proposal, see the section entitled “The Conversion Proposal” beginning on page 30 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q: How will a vote in favor of the preferred stock proposal affect the shareholders?
A: If the preferred stock proposal is approved by the shareholders and the conversion is consummated, the board of directors will be authorized to fix the designations, rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series of preferred stock as the board of directors may fix in the resolution providing for the issuance of such shares. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could affect the relative rights of MIC Corp.’s shares of common stock. If the preferred stock proposal is consummated, the consent of the manager, as holder of shares of special stock, will be required for MIC Corp. to issue preferred stock. For a more detailed description of the effects of the preferred stock proposal, see the section entitled “The Preferred Stock Proposal” beginning on page 35 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q: What will be the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the conversion?
A: The conversion of MIC LLC from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation will qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result of the conversion, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
you will not be required to recognize any gain or loss on the conversion of your LLC interests to common stock;
your tax-basis in your common stock will be the same as your basis in the LLC interests that have been converted into such stock; and
your holding period for your common stock will include your holding period for the LLC interests that have been converted into such common stock, provided such interests were held by you as a capital asset at the time of conversion.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences to you under the federal tax laws, as well as any consequence under applicable state or local tax laws, given your particular circumstances.

Q: How does the board of directors recommend that I vote?

Q: Will my vote make a difference?
A: Your vote is very important and can make a difference in the governance and management of MIC LLC, no matter how many LLC interests you own. All shareholders are encouraged to participate in the governance of MIC LLC.

A shareholder who holds LLC interests in the shareholder’s own name (as opposed to being held in the name of the shareholder’s broker, bank or other nominee) is referred to as a shareholder of record in this proxy statement/prospectus. Under the rules of the NYSE, if you are a beneficial owner and hold your LLC interests in “street name,” you must give your broker, bank or other shareholder of record specific voting instructions for your LLC interests by the deadline provided in order to ensure your LLC interests are voted in the way you would like. The conversion proposal, the preferred stock proposal and the adjournment proposal are “non-discretionary” items and brokers, banks or other shareholders of record cannot vote your LLC interests on the conversion proposal, the preferred stock proposal or the adjournment proposal in their discretion unless they receive specific voting instructions from you.

Q: What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote?
A: If you do not indicate how your LLC interests should be voted, LLC interests represented by your properly completed proxy will be voted as the board of directors recommends and therefore will be voted FOR the conversion proposal, FOR the preferred stock proposal and FOR the adjournment proposal. However, if your LLC interests are held in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other shareholder of record specific instructions on how to vote your LLC interests, your proxy will not be voted.
Q: Who will count the votes?
A: All votes will be tabulated by Broadridge Financial Services, Inc., the proxy tabulator and inspector of election appointed for the special meeting. Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.
Q: Is MIC LLC paying for the cost of this proxy statement/prospectus?
A: The cost of the solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, printing and mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus and the proxy card will be borne by MIC LLC. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by certain officers of MIC LLC by telephone, telecopier or other means. These officers will receive no additional compensation for such solicitation. MIC LLC will reimburse brokers and other nominees for costs incurred by them in mailing proxy materials to beneficial holders in accordance with the rules of the NYSE.

MIC LLC has engaged Okapi Partners LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting and estimates it will pay Okapi Partners LLC a fee of approximately $22,000. MIC LLC has also agreed to reimburse Okapi Partners LLC for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with the proxy solicitation and to indemnify Okapi Partners LLC against certain losses, costs and expenses.

Q: What do I need to participate in the special meeting?
A: You can participate in person by attending the special meeting on [     ], [      ] [      ], 2015 at [      ], at [      ].

The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate your identities, to allow you to give your voting instructions and to confirm that your instructions have been recorded properly. MIC LLC has been advised that the Internet and telephone voting procedures that have been made available to you are consistent with the requirements of applicable law. When voting by Internet or telephone, you should understand that, while neither MIC LLC nor any third party proxy service providers charge fees for voting by Internet or telephone, there may nevertheless be costs, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, which must be borne by you.

Your proxy will be voted as you direct in your proxy. Proxies returned without voting directions, and without specifying a proxy to participate in the special meeting and vote on your behalf, will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the board of directors. The board of directors recommends:

a vote FOR the approval of the plan of conversion, including the conversion, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws contemplated thereby;
a vote FOR the approval of the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock and the bracketed provisions in the certificate of incorporation; and
a vote FOR the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals.

If any other matter properly comes before the special meeting, your proxy will be voted on that matter by the proxy holders, in their discretion.

Q: How do I revoke my proxy?
A: You may revoke or change your proxy before the special meeting by:
subsequently executing and mailing a new proxy card that is received on a later date and no later than the deadline specified on the proxy card;

The board of directors encourages you to read the certificate of incorporation, including the bracketed provisions therein, attached as Annex A-2 to this proxy statement/prospectus, because it is the legal document that will govern the authorization of preferred stock.

Adjournment of the Special Meeting to Solicit Additional Proxies (Page 37 )

Your vote is very important .  You are encouraged to vote as soon as possible. If you do not indicate how your LLC interests should be voted, LLC interests represented by your properly completed proxy will be voted as the board of directors recommends and therefore will be voted FOR the conversion proposal, FOR the preferred stock proposal and FOR the adjournment proposal. However, if your LLC interests are held in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other shareholder of record specific instructions on how to vote your LLC interests, your proxy will not be voted.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

MIC LLC has included or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, and from time to time may make in its public filings, press releases or other public statements, certain statements that may constitute forward-looking statements. These include without limitation those under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7, and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A in MIC LLC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2015. In addition, MIC LLC’s management may make forward-looking statements to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and represent only MIC LLC’s management’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond MIC LLC’s control. MIC LLC may, in some cases, use words such as “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potentially,” “may” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements.

In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, MIC LLC is identifying important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by MIC LLC. Any such forward-looking statements are qualified by reference to the following cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements in this report are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond MIC LLC’s control, including, among other things:

changes in general economic, business or demographic conditions or trends in the United States or changes in the political environment, level of travel or construction or transportation costs, including changes in interest rates and price levels;
the ability to service, comply with the terms of and refinance at maturity the substantial indebtedness;
disruptions or other extraordinary or force majeure events and the ability to insure against losses resulting from such events or disruptions;
the regulatory environment, including U.S. energy policy, and the ability to estimate compliance costs, comply with any changes thereto, rates implemented by regulators, and the relationships and rights under and contracts with governmental agencies and authorities;
sudden or extreme volatility in commodity prices;
changes in U.S. domestic demand for chemical, petroleum and vegetable and animal oil products, the relative availability of tank storage capacity and the extent to which such products are imported or exported;
changes in patterns of commercial or general aviation air travel, including variations in customer demand;
technological innovations leading to a change in energy, production, distribution and consumption patterns;
fluctuations in fuel costs, or the costs of supplies upon which the gas processing and distribution business is dependent, and the ability to recover increases in these costs from customers;
the ability to make alternate arrangements to account for any disruptions or shutdowns that may affect suppliers’ facilities or the operation of the barges upon which the gas processing and distribution business is dependent;
the ability to make, finance and integrate acquisitions and the quality of financial information and systems of acquired entities;
the ability to implement operating and internal growth strategies;
the competitive environment for attractive acquisition opportunities;

environmental risks, including the impact of climate change and weather conditions;
the impact of weather events including potentially hurricanes, tornadoes and/or seasonal extremes;
changes in electricity or other energy costs, including natural gas pricing;
unplanned outage and/or failures of technical and mechanical systems;
payment of performance fees to the manager, if any, that could reduce distributable cash if paid in cash or could dilute existing shareholders if satisfied with the issuance of shares;
changes in the current treatment of qualified dividend income and long-term capital gains under current U.S. federal income tax law and the qualification of income and gains for such treatment;
work interruptions or other labor stoppages;
the inability of principal off-takers in the contracted power businesses to take and/or pay for the energy supplied;
the manager’s affiliation with the Macquarie Group or equity market sentiment, which may affect the market price of the LLC interests;
the limited ability to remove the manager for underperformance and the manager’s right to resign;
unanticipated or unusual behavior of municipalities and states brought about by financial distress;
the extent to which federal spending cuts, including potentially those resulting from sequestration, reduce the U.S. military presence on Hawaii or flight activity at airports on which Atlantic Aviation operates; and
any event or occurrence that may limit the ability to pay or increase a dividend.

MIC LLC’s actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. A description of risks that could cause the actual results to differ appears under the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 21 of this proxy statement/prospectus. It is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors and you should not consider that description to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking events discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus may not occur. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. MIC LLC undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should, however, consult further disclosures MIC LLC may make in future filings with the SEC.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 19 of this proxy statement/prospectus, shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors in determining whether to vote for the approval of the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal. Certain other risk factors include, without limitation, those under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7, and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A in MIC LLC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2015 and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus .

If the conversion is consummated, the benefits expected to be obtained from the conversion may not be achieved.

Even if the conversion proposal is approved by the shareholders and the conversion is consummated, the benefits expected to be obtained from the conversion may not be achieved. For example, the conversion may not result in MIC Corp.’s inclusion in certain stock market indices, such as the S&P indices and the Russell indices. Inclusion in such indices may not result in an increased demand for MIC Corp.’s securities and MIC Corp. may not have greater access to capital. The conversion also may not increase MIC Corp.’s ability to retain its current directors or attract and retain new directors.

The conversion may not be consummated on a timely basis or at all. Failure to consummate the conversion could negatively impact the market price of the LLC interests and MIC LLC’s future business and financial results.

The board of directors cannot assure you that the plan of conversion will be approved by the shareholders or that the other conditions to the consummation of the conversion will be satisfied or waived. If the conversion is not consummated, MIC LLC will not receive any of the expected benefits of the conversion and will be subject to risks and/or liabilities, including the following:

failure to consummate the conversion might be followed by a decline in the market price of the LLC interests;
certain costs relating to the conversion (such as legal and accounting fees) will be payable by MIC LLC regardless of whether the conversion is consummated; and
the proposed conversion may disrupt MIC LLC’s business and distract its management and employees from day-to-day operations, because work related to the conversion requires substantial time and resources, which could otherwise have been devoted to other business opportunities for the benefit of MIC LLC.

The rights of holders of LLC interests who become holders of common stock upon the effective time of the conversion will be governed by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and certain rights of holders of common stock may be less favorable than those rights granted to holders of LLC interests pursuant to the operating agreement.

Holders of LLC interests who receive common stock in the conversion will become subject to the DGCL, and will be governed by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, rather than the operating agreement. As a result, there will be differences between the current rights of the holders of LLC interests under the operating agreement, as compared to the rights they will have as holders of common stock under the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, and certain rights of holders of common stock may be less favorable than those rights granted to holders of LLC interests. For example, the bylaws state that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum to bring derivative claims, fiduciary claims and internal affairs actions. For more information describing the differences between the rights of holders of LLC interests and the rights of holders of common stock under the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, see the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Shareholders Before and After the Conversion” beginning on page 44 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the preferred stock proposal is consummated, preferred stock could be issued with rights, preferences and privileges that may be superior to the common stock, and could have other negative consequences to holders of common stock.

Shares of preferred stock could be issued in a financing in which investors purchase preferred stock with rights, preferences, and privileges that may be superior to those of the common stock. MIC Corp. could also use the authorized preferred stock for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although MIC Corp. has no immediate plans to do so. There are no assurances that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance shareholder value, or that they will not adversely affect MIC Corp.’s business or the trading price of the common stock. Any shares of preferred stock could be issued with rights, preferences and privileges that may be superior to those of the common stock. In addition, preferred stock could be issued for capital raising, financing and acquisition needs or opportunities that have the effect of making an acquisition of MIC Corp. more difficult or costly, as could also be the case if the board of directors were to issue additional common stock. For a more detailed description of the preferred stock proposal, see the section entitled “The Preferred Stock Proposal” beginning on page 35 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

You are being asked (i) to approve the plan of conversion, including the conversion, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws contemplated thereby, providing for a conversion of MIC LLC from a Delaware limited liability company to MIC Corp., a Delaware corporation, (ii) to approve the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, that may be issued from time to time, conditioned on the approval of such authorization and the consummation of the conversion, and (iii) to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals. A shareholder of record may cast one vote for each LLC interest owned on the record date.

Required Vote for the Conversion Proposal

Approval of the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. A vote in favor of the conversion proposal is a vote to approve the plan of conversion, including the conversion, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws contemplated thereby. If the conversion proposal fails to obtain the requisite vote for approval, the conversion will not be consummated and MIC LLC will continue as a Delaware limited liability company. The consummation of the conversion is not conditioned on shareholder approval of the preferred stock proposal.

Required Vote for the Preferred Stock Proposal

Approval of the preferred stock proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. A vote in favor of the preferred stock proposal is a vote to approve the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock and the bracketed provisions in the certificate of incorporation. The consummation of the preferred stock proposal is conditioned on the consummation of the conversion and shareholder approval of the preferred stock proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Required Vote for the Adjournment Proposal

Approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the LLC interests present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon. A vote in favor of the adjournment proposal is a vote to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting and at any subsequent adjournments or postponements.

Quorum

Under the operating agreement, the shareholders participating in person or by proxy holding a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders of MIC LLC. Holders of LLC interests as of the record date are the only shareholders entitled to vote at the special meeting.

“Broker non-votes” occur when a broker, bank or other shareholder of record holding LLC interests for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes or a failure to submit a proxy or attend the meeting in person will not be counted as present at the special meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions will be counted as present at the special meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Adjournments

If a quorum is not present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting, the special meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of LLC interests present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon. In addition, if the adjournment proposal is approved, adjournments of the special meeting may be made for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal. Other than an announcement to be made at the special meeting of the time, date and place of an adjourned meeting, an adjournment generally may be made without notice. For more information on the adjournment proposal, see the section entitled “Adjournment of the Special Meeting to Solicit Additional Proxies” beginning on page 37 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Manner of Voting

Shareholders of record may vote in person at the special meeting or by proxy. The board of directors recommends that shareholders of record vote by proxy even if they plan to attend the special meeting. Shareholders of record can always revoke their proxy and change their votes at the special meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you are a shareholder of record, please vote your proxy by mail as provided below. Your submission of proxy authorizes the individuals named on the enclosed proxy card, and each of them, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, to vote all LLC interests that you are entitled to vote at the special meeting.

To submit your proxy by mail, there are three steps:

1. Vote on each of the matters as follows:
The conversion proposal. Check the box “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” (to not cast a vote);
The preferred stock proposal. Check the box “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” (to not cast a vote);
The adjournment proposal. Check the box “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” (to not cast a vote); and
2. Sign and date your proxy card. If you do not sign and date your proxy card and do not submit a proxy by Internet or telephone, your votes cannot be counted.
3. Mail your proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope.

Please check the box on your proxy card if you plan to attend the special meeting.

Only the latest dated proxy received from you will be voted at the special meeting.

Voting of LLC Interests Held in “Street Name”

LLC interests that are not held in your own name but rather by your broker, bank or another nominee, are referred to as being held in “street name” by your nominee in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If your LLC interests are held in street name and you wish to attend the special meeting and personally vote your LLC interests held in street name, you must obtain a legally sufficient proxy from your nominee authorizing you to vote your LLC interests held in street name. If your LLC interests are held in a brokerage account, you will receive a full meeting package, including a voting instructions form to vote your LLC interests. If you do not receive a request for voting instructions from your nominee in advance of the special meeting, MIC LLC recommends that you directly contact your nominee to determine how to cause your LLC interests to be voted as you wish. Your brokerage firm may permit you to provide voting instructions by Internet or by telephone.

Under the rules of the NYSE, MIC LLC anticipates that the conversion proposal, the preferred stock proposal and the adjournment proposal in this proxy statement/prospectus will be “non-discretionary” items for which specific voting instructions from beneficial owners is required. As a result, brokers and other nominees subject to the rules of NYSE will not be allowed to vote with respect to any proposal on behalf of a beneficial owner if the beneficial owner does not provide specific voting instructions on that proposal. Your LLC interests held in street name will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting. MIC LLC urges you to respond to your brokerage firm so that your vote will be cast in accordance with your instructions.

How Proxies Will Be Voted

All LLC interests entitled to vote and represented by properly completed proxies received prior to the special meeting (unless properly revoked) will be voted at the special meeting as instructed on the proxies.

If shareholders of record who submit a properly completed proxy do not indicate how their LLC interests should be voted on a matter, the LLC interests represented by their proxy will be voted (unless properly withdrawn) as the board of directors recommends and therefore will be voted:

FOR the conversion proposal;
FOR the preferred stock proposal; and
FOR the adjournment proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BACKGROUND OF THE CONVERSION AND AUTHORIZATION OF PREFERRED STOCK

MIC LLC was originally formed as a trust in 2004 and completed its initial public offering in December 2004. In 2007, the trust was dissolved and all shares of the trust were exchanged for shares of its immediate subsidiary, an LLC. Effective January 1, 2007, MIC LLC elected to be taxed as a corporation. MIC LLC has effectively operated substantially in the same manner as a corporation, with customary corporate governance procedures.

In September 2014, MIC LLC’s management began to consider converting to a corporation, in light of MIC LLC’s growth over the prior two years. Management believes that MIC Corp. can benefit from the opportunity to be included in certain stock indices. LLCs are not eligible for inclusion in such indices. Management also believes that an increased number of institutional and other investors might consider investing in MIC LLC if it were a corporation.

In October and December 2014, the board of directors discussed the proposed conversion, and the potential provisions to be included in a certificate of incorporation and bylaws, with management. In February 2015, the board of directors again considered the proposed conversion. The board of directors determined to generally maintain the corporate governance provisions currently in effect pursuant to the operating agreement. The board believed, however, that inclusion of a forum selection provision was advisable. This provision requires that certain actions including, among others, derivative actions, breach of fiduciary duty claims, and actions arising pursuant to the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws, be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The board of directors (1) determined that the plan of conversion and the authorization of preferred stock are advisable and in the best interests of MIC LLC and its shareholders, (2) unanimously approved the plan of conversion and the authorization of preferred stock and (3) recommended that the shareholders of MIC LLC approve (A) the plan of conversion and (B) the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock that may be issued from time to time, and the bracketed provisions in the certificate of incorporation.

During the course of its deliberations, the board of directors considered the following factors as generally supporting its decision:

The DGCL is generally acknowledged to be the most advanced corporate law in the United States, is responsive to the changing needs of businesses, and has a well-established body of corporate case law.
As a corporation, MIC Corp. would be eligible for potential inclusion in certain stock indices, which could increase demand for MIC Corp.’s securities. In addition, institutional and other investors might find it easier to invest in a corporation than an LLC, due to restrictions on the ability of certain investors to invest in LLCs, as well as the perceived ease of understanding by investors generally of the Delaware corporate form.
Incorporation may enhance MIC Corp.’s ability to attract and retain directors, because many director candidates are familiar and comfortable with Delaware corporate law.
The forum selection provision will promote litigation efficiency by preventing similar claims from being filed in multiple jurisdictions.
The preferred stock proposal will provide MIC Corp. with increased flexibility to meet future capital requirements in a timely manner.

28


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, the board of directors considered the following potential risks, but concluded that the anticipated benefits from the proposals were likely to outweigh these risks:

MIC LLC will incur direct costs as a result of the conversion, even if the conversion does not occur.
The conversion could divert the attention of MIC LLC’s management from day-to-day operations.
There could be confusion in the market regarding the conversion, which could cause the price of the LLC interests to decline.
If the preferred stock proposal is consummated, preferred stock could be issued with rights, preferences and privileges that may be superior to the common stock, and could have other negative consequences to holders of common stock.
Other matters described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 21 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

In view of the variety of factors considered, the board of directors did not quantify or assign relative weight to the factors considered in reaching its conclusions. Rather, the board of directors views its recommendations as being based on the totality of the information considered by it.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE CONVERSION PROPOSAL

General

The board of directors has unanimously approved and recommends that the shareholders approve the plan of conversion, including adoption of the certificate of conversion, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws under the laws of the State of Delaware, each to become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of the conversion. The consummation of the conversion is not conditioned on shareholder approval of the preferred stock proposal. The following discussion summarizes certain aspects of the conversion from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation, which MIC LLC anticipates will be effective on or before [           ], 2015. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the plan of conversion, the certificate of conversion, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, each in substantially the form attached as Annex A, Annex A-1, Annex A-2 and Annex A-3, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus. The board of directors recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the conversion proposal.

Structure of the Conversion

Subject to the conditions to the conversion described herein, MIC LLC will convert from an LLC formed under the laws of the State of Delaware to a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Upon the effectiveness of the conversion, the converted entity’s name will change to Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation.

To convert to a Delaware corporation, MIC LLC will file a certificate of conversion and a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. At the effective time of the conversion, each outstanding LLC interest will be converted into one share of common stock of MIC Corp. Concurrently with the conversion, the manager will be issued 100 shares of special stock in order to induce the manager to enter into the amended management services agreement. The sole purpose for the issuance of shares of special stock to the manager is to preserve the manager’s existing right to appoint one director who will serve as the chairman of the board of directors of MIC LLC pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement, which right would otherwise be lost upon consummation of the conversion. Following the conversion and the issuance of special stock, the manager’s right to elect one director will be the same as is currently in effect. MIC Corp. is not granting any additional rights to the manager through the special stock issuance. If the preferred stock proposal is consummated, the consent of the manager, as holder of shares of special stock, will be required for MIC Corp. to issue preferred stock.

Upon consummation of the conversion, MIC Corp. is expected to have outstanding 79,338,212 shares of common stock, 100 shares of special stock and no shares of preferred stock (subject to shareholder approval of the preferred stock proposal). Upon consummation of the conversion, pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, the authorized capital stock of MIC Corp. will consist of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, 100 shares of special stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, that may be issued from time to time (subject to shareholder approval of the preferred stock proposal).

Effective Time of the Conversion

Consummation of the conversion is expected to occur, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, as soon as practicable following approval of the plan of conversion by the shareholders of MIC LLC at the special meeting. The conversion will become effective, assuming satisfaction or waiver of all other closing conditions, immediately when the certificate of conversion and the certificate of incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or such later time as set forth in the certificate of conversion), which is referred to as the effective time of the conversion in this proxy statement/prospectus.

No Change in Business, Jobs, Physical Location, Etc.

The business of MIC Corp. will be the same as the business of MIC LLC and is not expected to result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of any of the offices, number of employees, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the conversion). The conversion is

30


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

not expected to result in a change in MIC LLC’s current trading status on the NYSE and MIC Corp.'s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “MIC” upon the effective time of the conversion. The management, including all directors and officers, will remain the same in connection with the conversion and will assume identical positions with MIC Corp., except that the position of an alternate chairman provided for under the operating agreement will no longer exist at MIC Corp. The conversion will effect certain changes of a legal nature, the most significant of which are described below in the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Shareholders Before and After the Conversion” beginning on page 44 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Conversion of LLC Interests; Conversion Procedures

Conversion of LLC Interests

The plan of conversion provides that, at the effective time of the conversion, by virtue of the conversion and without further action on the part of MIC LLC, MIC Corp. or the shareholders of MIC LLC, each outstanding LLC interest will be converted into one share of common stock. Concurrently with the conversion, the manager will be issued 100 shares of special stock in order to induce the manager to enter into the amended management services agreement.

At the effective time of the conversion, the certificate of formation and operating agreement of MIC LLC will be terminated, and the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws will be in effect. For a description of the terms of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, and the rights of the shareholders of common stock and special stock thereunder, see the sections entitled “Description of MIC Capital Stock” and “Comparison of Rights of Shareholders Before and After the Conversion” beginning on pages 38 and 44 , respectively, of this proxy statement/prospectus and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws attached as Annex A-2 and Annex A-3, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Conversion Procedures

All shares of common stock issued in connection with the conversion will be uncertificated. MIC Corp. will register, or cause to be registered in book-entry form, the shares of common stock into which each LLC interest is converted as a result of the conversion.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the conversion, MIC Corp. will send a letter of transmittal to each person who was a record owner of the LLC interests at the effective time of the conversion and holds a certificate. This mailing will contain instructions on how to surrender any certificates formerly representing LLC interests in order for the shares of common stock received in the conversion to be registered in book-entry form.

Until each certificate of the LLC interests is surrendered, such certificate or book-entry unit will be deemed at any time after the effective time of the conversion to represent shares of common stock.

Lost LLC Interest Certificates

If a certificate formerly representing LLC interests has been lost, stolen or destroyed, MIC Corp. will register in book-entry form the shares of common stock issued in connection with the conversion upon receipt of an affidavit as to that loss, theft or destruction, and, if required by MIC Corp., the posting of a bond in such reasonable amount as MIC Corp. will direct as indemnity, with such assurances as MIC Corp. may reasonably require.

Dividends with Respect to Unexchanged LLC Interests

Dividends, if any, that are made to holders of LLC interests prior to the effective time of the conversion will be paid to such holders regardless of whether such payment is made before or after the effective time of the conversion and regardless of whether such holder transmitted its LLC interest certificate for book-entry registration of its shares of common stock.

Effect of the Conversion on Employee Benefit Plans, Stock Purchase Plans and Other Similar Plans

To the extent that any employee benefit plan, direct stock purchase and/or dividend reinvestment program or other similar plan of MIC LLC provides for the issuance of LLC interests, upon the effective time of the

31


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

conversion, such plan will be deemed to provide for the issuance of shares of common stock of MIC Corp. A number of shares of common stock will be reserved for issuance under such plans or programs equal to the number of LLC interests so reserved immediately prior to the effective time of the conversion.

2.875% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2019 of MIC LLC

Under the terms of MIC LLC’s indenture, which is referred to as the indenture in this proxy statement/prospectus, governing its 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019, which is referred to as the convertible notes in this proxy statement/prospectus, consummation of the conversion will constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the indenture). Therefore, if a holder of the convertible notes converts its convertible notes during a specified period of approximately 20 business days following the consummation of the conversion, such holder will be entitled to an increased conversion rate based upon the market price of the common stock and the date of the conversion. Although the convertible notes are convertible at any time, if holders of the convertible notes elect to convert during this period, holders of common stock may experience a greater amount of dilution than they would experience if the convertible notes are converted at other times. MIC Corp. will also execute a supplemental indenture that provides that the convertible notes will become convertible into shares of common stock of MIC Corp. in lieu of the LLC interests of MIC LLC, on a one for one basis, in accordance with the plan of conversion.

Conditions to the Conversion

Consummating the conversion is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:

obtaining approval by the holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon;
the registration statement, of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, having been declared effective by the SEC;
the common stock being admitted to trading on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance;
any waivers, consents or amendments needed under MIC LLC’s contracts, licenses and permits in connection with the conversion being obtained;
the board of directors not having revoked its recommendation that the shareholders vote in favor of the conversion proposal;
MIC LLC’s receipt of all other required regulatory approvals; and
the absence of any statute, order or injunction prohibiting the conversion.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The board of directors recommends that you vote FOR the conversion proposal. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon is required for the approval of the conversion proposal. Abstentions, broker non-votes and a failure to submit a proxy or to attend the special meeting in person will have the same effect as a vote against the conversion proposal.

Reasons for Conversion from a Delaware Limited Liability Company to a Delaware Corporation

Enhanced Access to Potential Capital.   As a corporation, MIC Corp. would be eligible for inclusion in certain stock indices, such as the S&P indices and the Russell indices. MIC LLC believes that inclusion in such indices could result in an increased demand for its securities. In addition, institutional and other investors might find it easier to invest in a corporation due to restrictions on the ability of certain investors to invest in LLCs, as well as the perceived ease of understanding by investors generally of the Delaware corporate form, and investors’ familiarity with the DGCL.

Predictability and Responsiveness of the DGCL .   The DGCL is generally acknowledged to be the most advanced corporate law in the United States. The Delaware General Assembly annually considers and adopts statutory amendments that the Corporation Law Section of the Delaware State Bar Association proposes in an effort to ensure that the corporate law continues to be responsive to the changing needs of businesses. Delaware’s well-established body of case law construing Delaware corporate law has evolved over the last

32


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

century and provides businesses with greater predictability than the DLLCA. The abundance of Delaware corporate case law serves to enhance the relative clarity and predictability of many areas of corporate law, which the board of directors believes will offer added advantages to MIC Corp. by allowing the board of directors and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions.

Enhanced Ability to Attract and Retain Directors .  The board of directors believes that incorporation will enhance MIC Corp.’s ability to attract and retain directors. Many candidates for the board of directors are already familiar with Delaware corporate law, including provisions relating to director indemnification, from their past business experience. Not only is Delaware corporate law most familiar to directors, but Delaware corporate law also provides, as noted above, greater predictability and responsiveness to corporate needs and more certainty regarding indemnification and limitation of liability of directors, all of which could enable the directors to act in the best interests of MIC Corp. As a result, the board of directors believes that MIC Corp. will be able to more effectively retain MIC LLC’s current directors or attract and retain new directors.

The Forum Selection Provision will Promote Litigation Efficiency.   The board of directors believes that including a forum selection provision in the bylaws will promote litigation efficiency by requiring plaintiffs to bring suit in a specified Delaware court with significant experience adjudicating such claims.

Stock Ownership of Directors and Officers in the Conversion

As of the close of business on the record date, the directors and executive officers of MIC LLC collectively beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 5,345,236 shares of LLC interests, which represent, in the aggregate, approximately 6.9% of LLC interests outstanding on that date.

Interests of Directors and Officers in the Conversion

Except as described above with regard to potential benefits to be received by the officers and directors of MIC LLC arising from the liability limitation and indemnification provisions under the DGCL, no director or executive officer of MIC LLC has any interest, direct or indirect, in the conversion other than any interest arising from the ownership of LLC interests.

In connection with the conversion, MIC Corp., Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings Inc. and the manager will enter into the amended management services agreement. Concurrently with the conversion, the manager will be issued 100 shares of special stock in order to induce the manager to enter into the amended management services agreement. The sole purpose for the issuance of shares of special stock to the manager is to preserve the manager’s existing right to appoint one director who will serve as the chairman of the board of directors to MIC LLC pursuant to the terms of MIC LLC’s current operating agreement, which right would otherwise be lost upon consummation of the conversion. Following the conversion and the issuance of special stock, the manager’s right to elect one director will be the same as is currently in effect. MIC Corp. is not granting any additional rights to the manager through the special stock issuance. If the preferred stock proposal is consummated, the consent of the manager, as holder of shares of special stock, will be required for MIC Corp. to issue preferred stock. If the preferred stock proposal is consummated, the amended management services agreement is expected to provide that, if at any time MIC Corp. issues preferred stock, MIC Corp. and the manager may amend the amended management services agreement with respect to the calculation of the base management fees and performance fees payable to the manager.

In connection with the conversion, MIC Corp. and the manager will also enter into the amended and restated registration rights agreement.

The manager is a member of the Macquarie Group, a diversified international provider of financial, advisory and investment services. The Macquarie Group is headquartered in Sydney, Australia and is a global leader in management of infrastructure investment vehicles on behalf of third-party investors and advising on the acquisition, disposition and financing of infrastructure assets. The manager is responsible for MIC LLC’s day-to-day operations and affairs and oversees the management teams of MIC LLC’s operating businesses. The manager has assigned, or seconded, to MIC LLC two of its employees to serve as chief executive officer and chief financial officer of MIC LLC and seconds or makes other personnel available as required. The services performed for MIC LLC by the manager are provided at the manager’s expense, and include the compensation of MIC LLC’s seconded personnel. This practice will continue after the conversion. For more

information, see Note 13, “Related Party Transactions,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of MIC LLC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2015 and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Conversion

The following is a summary description of the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the conversion generally applicable to the holders of LLC interests and to MIC LLC. This summary is not intended to be a complete description of all the federal income tax consequences of the conversion. No information is provided with respect to the tax consequences of the conversion under any other tax laws, including applicable state, local and foreign tax laws. In addition, the following discussion may not be applicable with respect to specific categories of holders of LLC interests, including but not limited to corporations, partnerships and trusts; dealers in securities; financial institutions; insurance companies or tax exempt organizations; persons who are not United States citizens or resident aliens or domestic entities; persons who are subject to alternative minimum tax; persons who do not hold their interests as capital assets; or persons who hold their interests as part of a straddle, conversion or hedging transaction, synthetic security or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction.

No ruling has been or will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax effects of the conversion. The federal income tax laws are complex, and the individual circumstances of a holder of LLC interests may affect the tax consequences to such holder.

MIC LLC anticipates receiving an opinion from White & Case LLP to the effect that:

The conversion will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
No gain or loss will be recognized by the holders of LLC interests upon the conversion of LLC interests solely for common stock.
Neither MIC LLC nor MIC Corp. will recognize gain or loss as a result of the conversion.
The federal income tax-basis of each LLC interest will carry over to the common stock received in exchange for such interest, pursuant to the conversion, and the holding period of such common stock will include the holding period of the LLC interest exchanged therefor.

The opinion will be based on customary assumptions and certain factual representations by the management of MIC LLC.

We urge you to consult your own tax advisors as to the specific consequences to you of the conversion under federal, state, local and foreign income and any other tax laws applicable in your particular circumstances.

THE PREFERRED STOCK PROPOSAL

The board of directors has approved the authorization of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share and the bracketed provisions in the certificate of incorporation. The holders of a majority of the LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon must approve the preferred stock proposal and the conversion must be consummated before MIC Corp. can authorize preferred stock that may be issued from time to time. The consummation of the preferred stock proposal is conditioned on consummation of the conversion but consummation of the conversion is not conditioned on MIC LLC’s shareholders approving the preferred stock proposal. If the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal are approved by the shareholders at the special meeting, MIC Corp. intends to file the certificate of incorporation, including the bracketed provisions therein, substantially in the form attached as Annex A-2 to this proxy statement/prospectus, with the Secretary of State of Delaware as soon as practicable following the special meeting.

Authorization of Preferred Stock

MIC LLC is not currently authorized to issue any preferred shares. If shareholders approve the preferred stock proposal and the conversion is consummated, upon acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the certificate of incorporation will authorize 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, that may be issued from time to time. MIC Corp.’s authorized capital stock will consist of (i) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (ii) 100 shares of special stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (iii) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, subject to approval of the preferred stock proposal and the consummation of the conversion. MIC Corp. is expected to have outstanding 79,338,212 shares of common stock, 100 shares of special stock and no shares of preferred stock.

If MIC LLC’s shareholders approve the preferred stock proposal and the conversion is consummated, the board of directors of MIC Corp. will be authorized to fix the designations, rights, preferences, powers and limitations of and to issue each series of the preferred stock. The consummation of the preferred stock proposal will give the board of directors the flexibility to create one or more series of preferred stock, from time to time, and to determine the relative designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each series, including, without limitation: (i) the dividend rights and dividend rates, (ii) conversion rights, (iii) any voting rights, (iv) rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), (v) redemption price or prices, (vi) liquidation preferences of any such series, (vii) the number of shares in each series, (viii) the designation thereof or any of the foregoing or (ix) any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions. The consent of the manager, as holder of shares of special stock, will be required for MIC Corp. to issue preferred stock.

Effect of Preferred Stock on MIC Corp.’s Shareholders

The authorization of preferred stock will not have any immediate effect on MIC Corp.’s shareholders. However, the preferred stock to be authorized pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, including the bracketed provisions therein, could be issued, at the discretion of the board of directors, for any proper corporate purpose, without further action by the shareholders other than as may be required by applicable law. Shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to the future issuance of shares of preferred stock by MIC Corp. and their interest in MIC Corp. could be diluted by such issuance with respect to any of the following: earnings per share, voting, liquidation rights and book and market value.

The board of directors will have the power to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series with such designations, rights, preferences, powers and limitations as the board of directors may fix in the resolution providing for the issuance of such shares. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could affect the relative rights of MIC Corp.’s shares of common stock. Depending upon the exact terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences, if any of the shares of preferred stock as determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance, the holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to a higher dividend rate than that paid on the common stock, a prior claim on funds available for the payment of dividends, a fixed preferential payment in the event of liquidation and dissolution of MIC Corp., redemption rights, rights to convert their shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock, and voting rights which would tend to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

dilute the voting control of MIC Corp. by the holders of shares of common stock. MIC Corp. could use preferred stock for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although we have no immediate plans to do so. The board of directors cannot provide assurances that any such transactions will (i) be consummated on favorable terms or at all, (ii) enhance shareholder value or (iii) not adversely affect MIC Corp.’s business or the trading price of common stock. Any shares of preferred stock could be issued with rights, preferences and privileges that may be superior to those of the common stock.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The board of directors recommends that you vote FOR the preferred stock proposal. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of voting power of the shares of LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon is required for the approval of the preferred stock proposal. An abstention, broker non-vote or a failure to submit a proxy or to attend the special meeting in person will have the same effect as a vote against the preferred stock proposal.

Purpose of Authorization of Preferred Stock

The board of directors has determined that the authorization of preferred stock is advisable and in the best interests of MIC LLC and its shareholders because it will provide MIC Corp. with the flexibility to consider and respond to future business needs and opportunities as they arise from time to time, including in connection with capital raising, financing and acquisition needs or opportunities. The availability of shares of preferred stock would give MIC Corp. flexibility to respond to future capital raising, financing and acquisition needs or opportunities without the delay and expense associated with holding a special meeting of shareholders to obtain further shareholder approval. The ability to respond to MIC Corp.’s needs and opportunities on an expedited basis with customized series of preferred stock may be advantageous to MIC Corp., depending on market conditions at the time.

The preferred stock proposal has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any known or threatened hostile takeover attempt. The board of directors represents that, if the preferred stock proposal is approved, it will not, without prior shareholder approval, approve the issuance or use of any of the preferred stock for any defensive or anti-takeover purpose or for the purpose of implementing any shareholder rights plan. Within these limits, as well as others imposed by applicable law and NYSE rules, the board of directors may approve the issuance or use of preferred stock for capital raising, financing and acquisition needs or opportunities that has the effect of making an acquisition of MIC Corp. more difficult or costly, as could also be the case if the board of directors were to issue additional common stock.

Required Vote

Approval of the preferred stock proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of LLC interests outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES

Shareholders of MIC LLC are being asked to grant authority to proxy holders to vote in favor of one or more adjournments of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal. If the adjournment proposal is approved, the special meeting could be successively adjourned to any date. In accordance with the operating agreement, a vote to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the conversion proposal and the preferred stock proposal may be taken in the absence of a quorum. MIC LLC does not intend to call a vote to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies if the conversion proposal is approved at the special meeting.

If the special meeting is adjourned to solicit additional proxies, shareholders of record who have already submitted their proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. If the chairman of the special meeting does not adjourn the special meeting, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of LLC interests present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the adjournment proposal. An abstention will have the effect of a vote against the adjournment proposal. A failure to submit a proxy or to attend the special meeting in person or a broker non-vote will not have an effect on a vote to approve the adjournment proposal.

The board of directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “ FOR ” the adjournment proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF MIC CAPITAL STOCK

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (each as will be in effect upon consummation of the conversion and the approval of the preferred stock proposal) and specified provisions of the DGCL, in each case to the extent that they relate to shares of common stock and special stock.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, the bylaws and the DGCL. These documents may be amended from time to time. The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws are attached as Annex A-2 and Annex A-3, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus. You should read each of these documents because they, not this description, will define your rights as shareholders following consummation of the conversion. The following summary should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “The Preferred Stock Proposal” and “Comparison of Rights of Shareholders Before and After the Conversion” beginning on pages 35 and 44 , respectively, of this proxy statement/prospectus.

General

MIC Corp.’s authorized capital stock will consist of (i) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001, par value per share, (ii) 100 shares of special stock, $0.001, par value per share, and (iii) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, subject to approval of the preferred stock proposal and the consummation of the conversion. Upon consummation of the conversion, MIC Corp. is expected to have outstanding 79,338,212 shares of common stock, 100 shares of special stock and no shares of preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

For a summary of the material rights and terms of MIC Corp.’s preferred stock, see the section entitled “The Preferred Stock Proposal” beginning on page 35 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Common Stock

Voting.   Each share of common stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. As provided in the certificate of incorporation, the holders of common stock and special stock will vote separately as different classes. Holders of common stock will not be entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors. All matters to be voted on by shareholders must be approved by a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting of shareholders or, in the case of the election of directors, by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present (consisting of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy).

Dividends.   Subject to applicable law and the preference of any other stock ranking prior to the common stock as to the payment of dividends, holders of common stock will be entitled to receive dividends in amounts as determined by the board of directors. MIC Corp. may pay dividends consisting of cash, property or shares of capital stock of MIC Corp.

Delaware law allows a corporation to pay dividends only out of surplus, as determined under Delaware law or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend was declared and for the preceding fiscal year. Under Delaware law, however, a corporation cannot pay dividends out of net profits if, after paying the dividend, the corporation’s capital would be less than the capital represented by the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets.

Transfer Restriction .  The certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not restrict the transfer of shares of common stock but the bylaws provide that MIC Corp. has the power to enter into and perform any agreement with any shareholders to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of MIC Corp. in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

The transfer agent and registrar for the shares of common stock will be Computershare Investor Services, LLC.

Special Stock

Voting .  Each share of special stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter on which holders of special stock are entitled to vote or provide consent.

Holders of special stock are not entitled to vote on or consent to any matter of MIC Corp., except those matters explicitly set forth in the certificate of incorporation, which are as follows:

any further authorization for issuance of shares of special stock, which issuance will require the prior affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding of special stock, voting or consenting separately as a class;

election of one director who will act as the chairman of the board of directors, which election will require the holders of special stock, voting or consenting separately as a class and is discussed immediately below in the section entitled “— Election of One Director”;
removal of any director for cause, which removal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and special stock (and any series of preferred stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors if the shareholders approve the preferred stock proposal), voting together as a single class; and
removal of any director elected by the holders of special stock, voting or consenting separately as a class, without cause, which removal will require the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of special stock, voting or consenting separately as a class.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Election of One Director.   Under the certificate of incorporation, holders of special stock will be entitled to elect one director, who will act as the chairman of the board of directors, at any time when the amended management services agreement is in effect and the manager or any of its affiliate holds at least 200,000 shares of common stock (as adjusted to reflect any subsequent equity splits or similar recapitalizations).

Dividends.   The certificate of incorporation provides that holders of special stock are not entitled to any dividends of MIC Corp.

Transfer Restriction .  The certificate of incorporation provides that holders of special stock may not offer, sell, pledge, transfer, dispose or distribute shares of special stock or enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

If MIC Corp. does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem all outstanding shares of special stock, MIC Corp. will redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s redeemable shares out of any legally available funds and redeem the remaining shares as soon as practicable after MIC Corp. has funds legally available thereafter. Any shares of special stock which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by MIC Corp. or any of its subsidiaries will be automatically and immediately canceled and retired and will not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither MIC Corp. nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of special stock following redemption.

Other Rights.   Holders of special stock will not be entitled to share in any distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of MIC Corp.

Trading .  The outstanding shares of special stock will not be listed on any stock exchange.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws could make it less likely that the manager will be changed or someone will acquire voting control of MIC Corp. without the consent of the board of directors. These provisions could delay, deter or prevent tender offers or takeover attempts that shareholders might believe are in their best interests, including tender offers or takeover attempts that could allow shareholders to receive premiums over the market price of the common stock. The operating agreement currently in effect for MIC LLC includes provisions substantially similar to the provisions described below. For further discussion of the rights of the shareholders under the operating agreement, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, see the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Shareholders Before and After the Conversion” beginning on page 44 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Special Meeting of Shareholders.   The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws provide that a special meeting of shareholders may be called only by the secretary of MIC Corp., either at the direction of the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board of directors or by the chairman of the board of directors.

No Shareholder Action Without a Meeting.   The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of the holders of any class of stock that have been expressly granted the right to take action by written consent, no action will be taken by the shareholders by written consent. Any actions required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders may only be taken at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders. However, actions that require a vote of the holders of special stock as a separate class may be taken by written consent without a meeting.

Nomination Procedures.   Under the bylaws, for a shareholder to nominate individuals for election to the board of directors (other than the director to be elected by the holders of special stock) at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, the shareholder must follow the advance notice procedures described in the bylaws.

40


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In general, to deliver timely notice of a nomination for (i) an annual meeting of shareholders, a shareholder must submit a written notice of the proposed nomination to the corporate secretary of MIC Corp. at least 120 days but not more than 150 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, and (ii) a special meeting of shareholders, a shareholder must submit such written notice at least 120 days but not more than the later of the 90 th day prior to such special meeting or the 10 th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the special meeting date and of the proposed nominees.

Proposal Procedures .  Under the bylaws, for a shareholder to propose business to be considered by the shareholders (other than nomination of individuals for elections to the board of directors) at an annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholder must follow the advance notice procedures described in the bylaws. In general, to deliver timely notice of business other than nominations of individuals for election to the board of directors for an annual meeting of shareholders, a shareholder must submit a written notice of the proposed nomination or other business to the corporate secretary of MIC Corp. at least 120 days but not more than 150 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting.

Removal Procedures .  The certificate of incorporation provides that any director may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, voting together as a single class. Any director elected by the holders of common stock, voting separately as a class, may be removed from office at any time, without cause, solely by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock as a separate class. Any director elected by the holders of special stock, voting or consenting separately as a class, may be removed from office at any time, without cause, solely by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of special stock as a separate class.

Rights Plan.   Although MIC Corp. does not have a shareholder rights plan, under Delaware law, the board of directors could adopt such a plan without shareholder approval. If adopted, a shareholder rights plan could operate to cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire MIC Corp. on terms not approved by the board of directors.

Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation .  Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation may be amended by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office and a majority of the outstanding stock and entitled to vote thereon.

Amendment of Bylaws.   The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws provide that the board of directors may amend the bylaws by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, subject to limitations under Delaware law. Section 6.6 (Replacement Manager) and Section 11.1 (Amendments) of the bylaws may not be amended without the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of shareholders. For so long as the amended management services agreement is in effect, Section 3.7 (Appointment of Chairman of the Board), Article VI (Management), Section 11.1 (Amendments) and Section 11.2 (Execution of Amendments by Officers) of the bylaws may not be amended without the prior written consent of the manager.

Authorized But Unissued Shares.   The unissued shares of authorized capital stock may be issued for a variety of purposes, including acquisitions, compensation and incentive plans and future public or private offerings to raise additional capital. One of the effects of the existence of such unissued shares may be to enable the board of directors to discourage or prevent a potential acquisition or takeover (by means of a tender or exchange offer, proxy contest or otherwise) and thereby to protect the continuity of the management.

Effect of Management Services Agreement .  In addition to the limited circumstances in which the manager can be terminated under the terms of the existing management services agreement, the management services agreement provides that in circumstances where the LLC interests cease to be listed on a recognized U.S. exchange as a result of the acquisition of LLC interests by third parties in an amount that results in the stock ceasing to meet the distribution and trading criteria on such exchange or market, the manager has the option to either propose an alternate fee structure and remain MIC LLC’s manager or resign, terminate the management services agreement upon 30 days’ written notice and be paid a substantial termination fee. The

41


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

termination fee payable on the manager’s exercise of its right to resign as the manager subsequent to a delisting of LLC interests could delay or prevent a change in control that may favor shareholders. Furthermore, in the event of such a delisting, any proceeds from the sale, lease or exchange of a significant amount of assets must be reinvested in new assets of MIC LLC, subject to debt repayment obligations. MIC LLC would also be prohibited from incurring any new indebtedness or engaging in any transactions with shareholders of MIC LLC or its affiliates without the prior written approval of the manager. These provisions could deprive shareholders of opportunities to realize a premium on the shares owned by them. These provisions will remain in place with respect to the common stock of MIC Corp. following the conversion.

Business Combinations

MIC Corp. will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which is substantially similar to the provisions set forth under the operating agreement. In general, Section 203 prohibits an “interested stockholder” from engaging in a “business combination” with a Delaware corporation for three years following the date such person became an interested stockholder, unless:

prior to the date such person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding stock held by directors who are also officers of the corporation and stock held by certain employee stock plans; or
on or subsequent to the date of the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at a meeting of shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines a “business combination” to generally include:

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and an interested stockholder;
any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving an interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to an interested stockholder;
any transaction involving the corporation which has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of any class or series of stock of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
the receipt by an interested stockholder of any loans, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

Section 203 generally defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

The certificate of incorporation provides that MIC Corp. will not merge or consolidate with any other entity or sell, lease or exchange its property and assets, unless the board of directors adopts a resolution approving such action by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total number of directors then in office and an affirmative vote of the shareholders holding a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of MIC Corp. Any shares held by the manager or its affiliate or associate will not be entitled to vote on approval of any merger or consolidation with or into, or sale, lease or exchange to, the manager or its affiliate or associate. This provision is currently in effect for MIC LLC under the operating agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The certificate of incorporation also provides that the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the then outstanding shares of stock of MIC Corp. (excluding shares held by an “interested stockholder” (as defined in the certificate of incorporation) or any of its affiliate or associate) is required to approve any “business combination” (as defined in the certificate of incorporation). Such affirmative vote is required notwithstanding any law or agreement with any securities exchange or otherwise. The “continuing directors” (as defined in the certificate of incorporation) will determine, on the basis of information known to them after reasonable inquiry, all facts necessary to determine compliance with the provisions relating to certain business combinations and transactions, including, without limitation, (a) whether a person is an interested stockholder, (b) the number of shares of stock of MIC Corp. beneficially owned by any person, (c) whether a person is an affiliate or associate of another and (d) the “fair market value” (as defined in the certificate of incorporation) of the equity securities of MIC Corp. or any of its subsidiaries. This provision is currently in effect for MIC LLC under the operating agreement.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS BEFORE
AND AFTER THE CONVERSION

Upon the conversion of MIC LLC to a Delaware corporation, the rights of the shareholders who become holders of common stock, and who previously were governed by the DLLCA and the operating agreement, will be governed by the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws. While there are similarities between the organizational documents of a Delaware limited liability company and a Delaware corporation, a number of differences will exist. The following is a summary of the existing rights of the shareholders under the operating agreement and the rights that the shareholders will have under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws upon the conversion of MIC LLC to a Delaware corporation. For discussion of the rights of shareholders of preferred stock, see the section entitled “The Preferred Stock Proposal” beginning on page 35 of this proxy statement/prospectus. You should carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents included or summarized in this proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete understanding of the differences between the rights of a shareholder of a Delaware limited liability company and the rights of a shareholder of a Delaware corporation. A copy of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws are attached as Annex A-2 and Annex A-3, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus, and all documents material to the rights of shareholders are included, summarized or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “ Proceeding ”) (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such Person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Person’s conduct was unlawful.

8.2 Indemnification of Directors and Officers in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation .

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

8.3 Successful Defense .

To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection therewith.

(iv) initiated by such Person, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by such Person against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (a) the Board of Directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (b) the Corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law, (c) otherwise required to be made under Section 8.7 or (d) otherwise required by applicable law; or

The Corporation shall indemnify such Person against any and all expenses that are incurred by such Person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the Corporation under this Article VIII, to the extent such Person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.

8.8 Non-Exclusivity of Rights .

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such Person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

8.12 Certain Definitions .

For purposes of this Article VIII, references to the “ Corporation ” shall include any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any Person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such Person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Delaware Limited Liability Company Act

MIC LLC is a limited liability company formed under the DLLCA. Section 18-108 of the DLLCA provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, an LLC may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of MIC LLC

The operating agreement eliminates the personal liability of MIC LLC’s directors to MIC LLC or its members for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to MIC LLC or its members, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or a knowing violation of applicable law or (iii) for any transaction for which the director derived an improper benefit.

The operating agreement requires that MIC LLC indemnify to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any manner in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of MIC LLC, or is or was serving at the request of MIC LLC as a director or officer of a subsidiary of MIC LLC. The operating agreement provides that the right to indemnification will survive any repeal, modification or amendment of the provision with respect to any events occurring prior to the time of such repeal, modification or amendment. However, MIC LLC will not be required to indemnify such a person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person unless such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by board of directors or enforces such person’s claim to indemnification pursuant to the rights granted by the operating agreement.

The operating agreement provides that MIC LLC may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was a director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of MIC LLC or a subsidiary of MIC LLC or of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not MIC LLC would have the power to indemnify such a person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL or the DLLCA.

Delaware General Corporation Law

Upon consummation of the conversion, MIC Corp. will be governed by the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under some circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act and to provide for the reimbursement of expenses incurred.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a Delaware corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, no provision can eliminate or limit a director’s liability:

for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
under Section 174 of the DGCL, which imposes liability on directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of MIC Corp.

As permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, Article XI of the certificate of incorporation and Article VIII of the bylaws provide, among other things, the following indemnification rights:

II-1


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MIC Corp. will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action (i) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of MIC Corp., or is or was a director or officer of MIC Corp. serving at the request of MIC Corp. as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, or (ii) by or in the right of MIC Corp. to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of MIC Corp., or is or was a director or officer of MIC Corp. serving at the request of MIC Corp. as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise. MIC Corp. will not indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent if he or she is found liable to MIC Corp. unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action was brought determines otherwise.
MIC Corp. will pay expenses incurred by its directors and officers in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of a written request for payment of such expenses and an undertaking by a person to whom expenses are advanced to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. MIC Corp. may pay expenses incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of MIC Corp. or by persons serving at the request of MIC Corp. as directors, officers, employees or agents of another enterprise as it deems appropriate.
MIC Corp. will not indemnify an officer, director, employee or agent when the proceeding relates to: (i) payments under a statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise (except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid); (ii) an accounting or disgorgement under the Exchange Act or similarly applicable law; (iii) reimbursement of MIC Corp. for a bonus, compensation, or other profits realized from the sale of MIC Corp.’s securities under the Exchange Act; (iv) initiation of an action including those against MIC Corp. or its directors, unless authorized by the board of directors, provided for in MIC Corp.’s sole discretion, or otherwise required under the bylaws or applicable law; or (v) prohibition of payment under applicable law.
MIC Corp. may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of MIC Corp., or is or was serving at the request of MIC Corp. as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not MIC Corp. would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of law.

The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL and the full text of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to this registration statement.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

II-3


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(e) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to the paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(f) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(g) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(h) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

At the reconvened meeting, the stockholders may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however , that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the reconvened meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL and Section 2.5 of these Bylaws. If an adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if, after an adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the reconvened meeting, a notice of the reconvened meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission of such meeting.

2.13 Remote Communication .

For the purposes of these Bylaws, if authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders may, by means of remote communication:

SECTION 2

DEMAND REGISTRATION

 

2.1 So long as the Manager holds Registrable Shares or can be reasonably foreseen to acquire Registrable Shares pursuant to future Management Fee Investments that have not been previously registered pursuant hereto, the Company agrees, upon request of the Manager, to use its best efforts to either (a) if there is no Automatically Effective Shelf, file one or more Shelf Registration Statements (which may include Registrable Shares covered by a prior Shelf Registration Statement) providing for the registration, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis (including through brokers and dealers) by the Manager, of all such Registrable Shares, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission or (b) if there is an Automatically Effective Shelf, file one or more prospectus supplements (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”) with the Commission for the sale and distribution of all or such portion of the Manager’s Registrable Shares as are specified in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file more than four (4) such Shelf Registration Statements or Prospectus Supplements in any twelve-month period.   Each such request from the Manager shall indicate whether the Manager wishes to sell the Registrable Shares pursuant to an underwritten offering.

 

The Manager shall be named as a selling security holder in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement, in such a manner as to permit the Manager to deliver such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement to purchasers of Registrable Shares in accordance with applicable law.

 

2.2 The Company further agrees that it shall cause each Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or the date of any such amendment or supplement, and each Prospectus Supplement, as of the date of such Prospectus Supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act; and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. If any Shelf Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time, ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during an Effective Period (other than because all Registrable Shares registered thereunder shall have been sold pursuant thereto or shall have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof.

SECTION 3

PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION

 

3.1 Right to Piggyback.

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, whenever the Company proposes (i) to register, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act and the form of registration statement (the “Company Registration Statement”) to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Shares or (ii) to sell Common Stock pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement to an Automatically Effective Shelf and Registrable Shares can be included in such Prospectus Supplement (each, a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Manager of the Company’s intention to effect such a registration and shall include in the Company Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Manager has provided the Company with a written request for inclusion therein within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of the Company’s notice to the extent reasonably practicable, but shall include all such shares to which the Manager has provided the Company with a written request for inclusion therein within three (3) business days after the Company’s notice.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to notify the Manager or include Registrable Shares in any registration on (i) Form S-1, S-3 or S-8, or their successor forms, under the Securities Act, or a Prospectus Supplement thereto, relating solely to stock purchase or other equity plans or an equity distribution program, including without limitation, the Company’s direct stock purchase and dividend reinvestment program, (ii) Form S-4 or successor forms relating solely to a transaction within the scope of Rule 145, or (iii) any other form (other than Form S-1, S-3 or SB-1, or their successor forms), or a Prospectus Supplement thereto, that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a Company Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Section 2 above.

 

(c) The Company shall have the right to abandon, terminate and/or withdraw any Company Registration Statement initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such Company Registration Statement and/or any Prospectus Supplement at any time prior to the consummation of an offering pursuant thereto, whether or not the Manager has elected to include securities in such Company Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement.

 

3.2 If the Piggyback Registration with respect to which the Company gives notice is for a public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Manager as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1(a). In such event, the right of the Manager to be named selling security holder in a Company Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Section 3 shall be conditioned upon the Manager’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Manager’s Registrable Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Company and the Manager shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, with the underwriters selected by the Company.

 

5
 

 

3.3 Cutback.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3 to the contrary, if the representative of the underwriters determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters and the Company may limit the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the Company Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement and underwriting. In the event of any such limitation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise the Manager, and the number of shares included in such Company Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company for securities being sold for its own account and thereafter to the Manager. If the Manager disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, and such Registrable Shares shall be withdrawn from such Company Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement.

(x) promptly furnish to the Manager, upon its request and without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of each Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement, and any amendments thereto, including financial statements but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (unless requested in writing to the Company by the Manager); and

INDEMNIFICATION

 

7.1 Indemnification by the Company.

 

The Company will indemnify the Manager, each of its officers, directors and partners, each person controlling the Manager within the meaning of either the Securities Act of the Exchange Act, each underwriter of public offerings effected pursuant to this Agreement, if any, and each person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements with respect thereto) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereto, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Prospectus Supplement, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law applicable to the Company or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any such state law and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such Registration Statement as originally filed or any amendment thereto, preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement. The Company will reimburse the Manager, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling the Manager, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by the Manager or underwriter specifically for use therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Manager or underwriter, or any person controlling the Manager, or underwriter, from whom the persons asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Manager or underwriter to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

 

12
 

 

7.2 Indemnification by the Manager.

 

The Manager will, as to each registration in which the Manager participates, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the Manager, each of its officers, directors and partners and each person controlling the Manager, against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereto, or in any preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), and will reimburse the Company, and each of its directors, officers, partners, underwriters and controlling persons for any reasonable legal and any other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in any such Registration Statement as originally filed or any amendment thereto, preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Manager (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) that the total amount for which the Manager shall be liable under this Section 7.2. shall not in any event exceed the aggregate net proceeds received by the Manager from the sale of Registrable Shares held by the Manager in such registration.

 

7.3 Indemnification Procedures.

 

Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party proposed to conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s election and expense; provided further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, unless such failure resulted in prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; and provided further, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by counsel for the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to all Indemnified Parties of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

13
 

 

7.4 Survival; Contribution.

 

(a) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of securities. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the circumstances that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

SECTION 8

PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS

 

8.1 No person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless the person (i) agrees to accept the terms of the underwriting agreement as agreed upon by the Company and the underwriters selected in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

SECTION 9

REPORTS UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS

 

9.1 With a view to making available to the Manager the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Manager to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

SECTION 10

TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

Provided that the Company is given written notice by the Manager at the time of any transfer of Registrable Shares by the Manager stating the name and address of the transferee of such Registrable Shares and identifying the securities with respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being assigned, the rights of the Manager under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement may be assigned to a transferee or assignee who (i) receives at least 600,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations and the like that occur after the date of this Agreement) or (ii) is a subsidiary, affiliate, parent, general partner, limited partner or retired partner of the Manager, so long as such transfer of securities is in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents and any other agreements with the Company regarding transfer of Registrable Shares and all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of the Manager under this Agreement. The Company may prohibit the transfer of the Manager’s rights under this Section to any proposed transferee or assignee who the Company reasonably believes is a competitor of the Company.

 

15

Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc.

This notice is being made pursuant to the Manager’s rights under Section 2 of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated [●], 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

For purposes of this opinion, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of: (i) the Certificate of Formation of MIC LLC, as amended to date; (ii) a copy of the Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of MIC LLC, as amended to date; (iii) the form of specimen certificate of the Common Stock of MIC Corp., filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; (iv) the form of Certificate of Incorporation of MIC Corp., filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Certificate of Incorporation”); (v) the form of Bylaws of MIC Corp., filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Bylaws”); (vi) the Registration Statement, including the related form of prospectus included therein, and the exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) constituting part of the Registration Statement; (vii) a copy of the Plan of Conversion; (viii) the form of Certificate of Conversion of MIC LLC, filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; (ix) a copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of MIC LLC, adopted on February 17, 2015, approving the Plan of Conversion, including each of the transactions, agreements, instruments and documents contemplated thereby (including the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws); (x) such other proceedings, certificates, documents, instruments and records as we have deemed necessary to enable us to render this opinion, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein.

In making our examination of documents executed by parties other than MIC LLC, we have assumed that such parties had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all their obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof.

1.   The issuance of the Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Conversion, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws has been duly authorized by MIC LLC, subject to approval thereof by MIC LLC’s shareholders as contemplated in the Plan of Conversion and the Registration Statement.

 

2.   When the Registration Statement shall have become effective and the Common Stock has been issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Conversion and as described in the Registration Statement, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We do not express or purport to express any opinions with respect to laws other than the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

We do not undertake to advise you of any changes in our opinion expressed herein resulting from matters that may arise after the date of this letter or that hereinafter may be brought to our attention.

Exhibit 8.1

 

 

April 10, 2015

 

Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC

125 West 55 th Street

New York, NY 10019

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MIC LLC”), in connection with the proposed conversion of MIC LLC to a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”), pursuant to a Plan of Conversion dated as of April 10, 2015 (the “Plan of Conversion”). At your request, we are rendering our opinion concerning certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Conversion. Any capitalized term used and not defined herein has the meaning given to such term in the Plan of Conversion.

 

The Plan of Conversion provides that, at the Effective Time of the Conversion, by virtue of the Conversion and without further action on the part of MIC LLC or the holders of interests in MIC LLC, each outstanding interest in MIC LLC will be converted into one share of common stock in Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (“MIC Corp.”). Concurrently with the Conversion, Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., the manager of MIC LLC (the “Manager”), will be issued 100 shares of special stock of MIC Corp. The special stock will carry no economic rights and the sole purpose for the issuance of shares of special stock to the Manager will be to preserve the Manager’s existing right to appoint one director who will serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MIC Corp. The holders of interests in MIC LLC are also voting on a proposal to approve the authorization of preferred stock of MIC Corp., but the consummation of the Conversion is not conditioned on shareholder approval of the preferred stock proposal, and no such preferred stock will be issued in connection with the consummation of the Plan of Conversion.

 

In providing our opinion, we have examined the Plan of Conversion, the proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 that has been filed by MIC LLC with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the exhibits thereto and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of our opinion. In addition, for purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have relied, with the consent of MIC LLC, upon the accuracy and completeness of the statements and representations contained in the attached representation letter of MIC LLC (the “Representation Letter”), and we have assumed, with your consent, that the Representation Letter will be true, correct and complete as of the Effective Time of the Conversion without regard to any qualification as to knowledge or belief. Further, we have assumed that, at the Effective Time of the Conversion, no foreign person will have beneficially owned more than five percent of the total fair market value of the outstanding interests in MIC LLC at any time during the five-year period ending on the Effective Time of the Conversion.

 

 
 

 

 

We have also assumed, with your consent, that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Conversion will be consummated pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Plan of Conversion (and no transaction or condition described therein and affecting this opinion will be waived by any party), (ii) the statements concerning the transactions and the parties thereto set forth in the Plan of Conversion and the proxy statement/prospectus, are and will be at all times, up to and including the Effective Time of the Conversion true, complete and correct, (iii) any statements and representations made in the Representation Letter “to the knowledge of” or “to the best knowledge of” any person or similarly qualified are and will be true, complete and correct without such qualification, and (iv) the Conversion will be consummated pursuant to Section 18-216 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and Section 265 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. If any of the above described assumptions are untrue for any reason or if the transaction is consummated in a manner that is different from the manner described in the Plan of Conversion or the Form S-4, our opinion as expressed below may be adversely affected.

 

Opinion

 

Our opinion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings, judicial decisions, and other applicable authorities, all as in effect and available on the date hereof. The statutory provisions, regulations, and interpretations upon which our opinion is based are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or differing judicial or administrative interpretations, which could affect the tax consequences described herein. In addition, there can be no assurance that positions contrary to those stated in our opinion may not be asserted by the Internal Revenue Service, and no rulings will be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service concerning the matters described in this opinion.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

(i) the Conversion will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code;

 

(ii) each of MIC LLC and MIC Corp. will be a party to such reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

 

(iii) no gain or loss will be recognized by MIC LLC upon the deemed transfer of all of its assets to MIC Corp. pursuant to the Conversion;

 

(iv) no gain or loss will be recognized by MIC Corp. upon the deemed receipt of the MIC LLC assets pursuant to the Conversion;

 

(v) no gain or loss will be recognized by the holders of interests in MIC LLC upon the Conversion of such interests to stock of MIC Corp. pursuant to the Conversion;

 

(vi) the basis immediately after the Conversion of the assets of MIC LLC in the hands of MIC Corp. will be the same as MIC LLC’s basis in such assets immediately prior to the Conversion;

 

2
 

 

 

(vii) the holding period of the MIC LLC assets in the hands of MIC Corp. will include the periods during which such assets were held by MIC LLC;

 

(viii) the basis immediately after the Conversion of the MIC Corp. stock received by the holders of interests in MIC LLC will be the same as the basis of the interests in MIC LLC converted into such stock; and

 

(ix) the holding period for the MIC Corp. stock received by the holders of interests in MIC LLC will include the periods during which the MIC Corp. shareholders held the interests in MIC LLC exchanged therefor, provided that the MIC Corp. stock is held as a capital asset on the date of the Conversion.

 

Any change in applicable laws or the facts and circumstances surrounding the Conversion, or any inaccuracy in the statements, facts, assumptions or representations upon which we have relied, may adversely affect the continuing validity of the foregoing opinion. We assume no responsibility to inform MIC Corp. or the Manager of any such change or inaccuracy that may occur or come to our attention. Except for the opinion set forth above, we express no opinion as to any other tax consequences of the Conversion to any party under U.S. federal, state, local or foreign laws.

 

This opinion is being issued in connection with the Form S-4 and may not be relied upon by anyone in any other context nor used for any other purpose. No opinion is expressed as to any transactions other than the Conversion.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as an Exhibit to Form S-4 and to the references to us in the Form S-4. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

 

Very truly yours,
