DALLAS, Sept. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Cushing® Asset Management, LP, and Swank
Capital, LLC, announce an upcoming interim change to the
constituents of The Cushing® 30 MLP Index (the
"Index"). On July 26, 2020, Index
constituent CNX Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: CNXM) entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with CNX
Resources Corporation (NYSE: CNX) and affiliated companies that
would result in CNXM common units ceasing to be publicly traded,
subject to the approval of the holders of CNXM common units and
Class B units. Entities representing a majority of CNXM common
units and Class B units have agreed to deliver written consents
approving the Merger Agreement within the unitholder consent
period, which may terminate as early as September 25, 2020. Per the Index's methodology
guide, this event will result in a constituent replacement.
Accordingly, after the market closes on September 25, 2020, and effective on September 28, 2020, Equitrans Midstream
Corporation (NYSE: ETRN) will replace CNXM as a constituent of the
Index at CNXM's then-current weight.
There will be no changes to the remaining constituents of the
Index due to this event.
