DALLAS, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Cushing® Asset Management, LP, and Swank

December 4, 2019, 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 December 4, 2019, and effective on
December 5, 2019, Magellan Midstream
Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MMP) will replace SEMG as a constituent of
the Index at SEMG's then-current weight.
There will be no changes to the remaining constituents of the
