DALLAS, June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Alerian announced
today that ONEOK Partners (NYSE: OKS) is expected to be removed from the Alerian MLP Index (AMZ), Alerian MLP Equal Weight Index
(AMZE), Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index (AMZI), Alerian Large Cap MLP Index (AMLI), and the Alerian Natural Gas MLP Index (ANGI)
in a special rebalancing.
Special rebalancings are triggered by corporate actions such as mergers, bankruptcies, and liquidations. Pending shareholder
approval, OKS will cease to trade due to its merger with ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE). If approved, the rebalancing will take place
one full trading day after the issuance of a press release indicating all needed merger votes have passed.
Notably, the market will be closing early on Monday, July 3, and as a result, the special
rebalancing will likely take place after market close on July 5.
The index will be rebalanced in accordance with its existing methodology. Constituent additions to and deletions from the
index do not reflect an opinion by Alerian on the investment merits of the respective securities.
