The code MIC was the NYSE trading symbol associated with Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation in its 2015 corporate release. A 2021 reorganization release used the same symbol for Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings, LLC, so the date and issuer matter.
A ticker is an identifier in a market context, not a timeless full company name or a price. The issuer’s 21 May 2015 release names Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation and states that its shares continue under MIC. The 22 September 2021 release describes a different structure: the corporation becomes a subsidiary of Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings, LLC, and Holdings units are to trade under the same symbol from 23 September 2021. A historical record can therefore preserve MIC while referring to a different named issuer and instrument after a corporate action. When reading an archive, retain the record date, issuer’s legal name and whether the document calls the security a share or a unit. Reusing the letters does not make those fields interchangeable. These dated filings explain historical identity; they do not establish a current listing, current quote, tax treatment for a reader or an investment recommendation.

Meaning in context
- MIC
- The historical NYSE trading symbol named in these issuer releases.
- Corporation and Holdings, LLC
- Separate legal names in the 2015 and 2021 records; the later release describes their reorganization relationship.
Practical examples
Keep the historical issuer
- Before
Invented archive summary of the 2015 release: MIC, Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation shares. Draft: Change its issuer to Holdings because a later document uses the same ticker.
- After
The 2015 archive summary retains Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation and its stated shares.
Keep identity and instrument with the record date rather than backdating a later structure.
Read the 2021 transition
- Before
Release states Holdings units use MIC from 23 September 2021. Draft: Unchanged ticker proves the issuer and instrument names never changed.
- After
The 2021 release distinguishes Holdings units from the corporation’s earlier shares while retaining the MIC symbol.
The identifier can persist across a corporate action; the legal name and instrument description still need their own fields.
