History

edit

The company took its name from Macquarie Bank, which took its name from Lachlan Macquarie, who was Governor of New South Wales. One of his achievements includes the establishment of Australia's first bank and introduction of its first domestic coinage in 1813, the Holey dollar. Macquarie's logo is a stylized version of Holey dollar coin.[3]

On December 16, 2004 the company went public as Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust: it sold 26 million shares at $25 a piece and collected $665 million.[4]

On January 11, 2006, the AvPorts division was merged into the Atlantic division.

On January 1, 2007, Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust was succeeded by Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC.

On January 1, 2009, AvPorts was sold to Aviation Facilities Company, Inc. (AFCO).[5]

On January 28, 2010, Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation announced that its airport parking business, Parking Corporation of America Airports (PCAA), had entered into an asset purchase agreement with Bainbridge ZKS - Corinthian Holdings, LLC. The company had earlier filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.[6]

On May 21, 2015, membership interests in Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC were exchanged, one for one, for shares of Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation as a result of the conversion of the Company from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation.[2]

On July 21, 2022, Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings, LLC (“MIC”) announced that it completed its previously disclosed merger with an affiliate of Argo Infrastructure Partners, LP and the units of the Company were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. MIC completed sales of its International-Matex Tank Terminals business in 2020 and its Atlantic Aviation business in 2021.
