Tortoise Announces Revision of Treatment of Constituent Changes Due to Corporate Action

OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESSWIRE / May 3, 2024 / Tortoise today announced a revision to the corporate action treatment for the Tortoise North American Pipeline IndexSM (TNAP). As previously stated, NuStar Energy LP (NYSE:NS) will be removed from the Tortoise MLP Index® (TMLP) and the Tortoise North American Pipeline IndexSM (TNAP) as a result of the approved acquisition by Sunoco LP (NYSE:SUN). Due to the acquisition, NS will be removed from indices at market open on Friday, May 3, 2024.

For the Tortoise MLP Index® (TMLP), NS will be removed with a special rebalancing.

Special rebalancings in TMLP are triggered by corporate actions such as mergers, bankruptcies, liquidations, and conversions in which the resulting weight of a single constituent exceeds the index's 7.5% threshold and the target constituent weight exceeds certain weighting thresholds. Implementation of special rebalancings will be made in accordance with existing methodologies.

For the Tortoise North American Pipeline IndexSM (TNAP) the treatment is revised such that NS will be removed from the Index and the deleted constituent's weight will be added to the acquirer's weight.

In addition, Viper Energy Inc. (NYSE:VNOM), which underwent a reclassification from a Limited Partnership to a Corporation, will be removed from the Tortoise MLP Index® (TMLP) and the deleted constituent's weight will be distributed pro-rata to the remaining index constituents.
