Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (NYSE: MIC) (the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors set August 23, 2021 as the record date for a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held virtually at 10:00am on September 21, 2021.
Record date holders will be asked to separately approve the sale of the Company’s Atlantic Aviation business to a newly formed entity controlled by KKR (“AA Transaction”), the merger of its MIC Hawaii businesses into a newly formed entity managed by Argo Infrastructure Partners, LP (“MH Merger”) and the adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies. If approved, the AA Transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021 and the MH Merger is expected to close in the first half of 2022.
Consummation of the AA Transaction is not conditioned upon approval of the MH Merger. The MH Merger, however, is conditioned upon shareholder approval and consummation of the AA Transaction.
The special meeting will be a “virtual meeting” of shareholders, meaning that shareholders may participate solely “by means of remote communications.” Distribution of the definitive proxy and any other materials pertaining to the meeting is expected to commence on or immediately following the record date.
