MCG notes participation in bid for NTL Broadcast

22 October 2004

In response to recent media speculation, Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group (MCG) today stated that it is part of a consortium which has submitted a non-binding indicative offer to acquire the UK broadcast transmission infrastructure business, NTL Broadcast.

MCG understands that it is one of a limited number of parties considering an investment.  Final bids are expected to be lodged in late November 2004.

MCG is not prepared to comment on any terms of its non-binding indicative offer.  However, MCG notes that media reports have included speculation about the expected purchase price of around 1.2 billion.

MCG also notes it continues to pursue other strategic investment opportunities, aiming to provide investors with stable long term cash yields and capital growth.
