DALLAS, Feb. 19, 2021 /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 14, 2020, Index
constituent TC PipeLines, LP (NYSE: TCP) entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with TC Energy
Corporation (NYSE: TRP) and affiliated companies that would result
in TCP common units ceasing to be publicly traded, subject to the

the unitholders of TCP will be held on February 26, 2021, for the purpose of voting on
the Merger Agreement. Per the Index's methodology guide, this event
will result in a constituent replacement. Accordingly, after the
market closes on February 26, 2021,
and effective on March 1, 2021, Black Stone Minerals,
L.P. (NYSE: BSM) will replace TCP as a constituent of the Index at
TCP's then-current weight.
There will be no changes to the remaining constituents of the
Index due to this event.
