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 High Income 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 approval of the holders of TCP common units. A special meeting of 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, EnLink Midstream, LLC (NYSE: ENLC) 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.
