MACQUARIE CNL GLOBAL INCOME TRUST MAKES FIRST ACQUISITION

— Company acquires distribution center near Austin, Texas for $4.55 million —

(ORLANDO, Fla.) June 14, 2011 — Macquarie CNL Global Income Trust, Inc. has acquired a distribution center in Pflugerville, Texas that is fully leased to FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. The property was acquired for $4.55 million.

“We believe this transaction aligns with our goal of building a portfolio of properties that can provide stable income to our shareholders,” said Andy Hyltin, president of Macquarie CNL Global Income Trust.

Built in 1991, the 51,189-square-foot distribution center is located on 12.29 acres in the heart of a busy commercial area. The property is adjacent to Interstate 35 with direct access to State Highway 45 and downtown Austin. It is in the vicinity of local airports and is surrounded by numerous well-known industrial facilities and big box retailers.

“When considering potential investments, we not only look at the strength of the tenant, but also the fundamentals of the local market,” Hyltin said. “The Austin metro area performed better than many other cities during the recession.”

The Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Area, the fourth largest in Texas with an estimated population of 1.7 million, has a robust, stable economy, and is within 200 miles of three of the nation’s largest 10 cities. It is one of the fastest growing regions in the country, with its population having increased more than 40 percent in the past decade. Austin has one of the highest concentrations of technology and biotechnology companies nationally. The unemployment rate dropped from 6.8 percent in March to 6.5 percent in April, significantly lower than the 9 percent U.S. unemployment rate in April.
