DALLAS, June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cushing® Asset Management, LP, and Swank Capital, LLC, announce an upcoming interim change to constituents of The Cushing® MLP High Income Index (the "Index"). On February 26, 2020, Index constituent EQM Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: EQM) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Equitrans Midstream Corporation (NYSE: ETRN) and affiliated companies that would result in EQM common shares ceasing to be publicly traded, subject to the approval of the holders of EQM common units and ETRN common shares. Special meetings of EQM limited partners and ETRN shareholders will be held on June 15, 2020, for the purpose of voting on the Merger Agreement.
