DALLAS, Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Cushing® Asset Management, LP, and Swank
Capital, LLC, announce an upcoming interim change to the
constituents of The Cushing® MLP Market Cap Index (the
"Index"). On December 17, 2019, Index
constituent Tallgrass Energy, LP (NYSE: TGE) announced that,
pursuant to a merger agreement with Blackstone Infrastructure
Partners, it had agreed not to pay distributions during the
pendency of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
Per the Index's methodology guide, this distribution cut event will
result in a constituent replacement. Accordingly, after the market
closes on December 27, 2019, and effective on
December 30, 2019, Noble Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: NBLX)
will replace TGE as a constituent of the Index at TGE's
then-current weight.
There will be no changes to the remaining constituents of the
Index due to this event.
