TortoiseEcofin Announces Constituent Changes Due to Merger and Acquisition Activity
TC Pipelines, LP (NYSE:TCP) will be removed from the Tortoise MLP Index and Tortoise North American Pipeline Index following its merger with a subsidiary of TC Energy Corporation (NYSE:TRP). This change takes effect at the market open on March 3, 2021. TCP's removal from the Tortoise MLP Index is due to a special rebalancing triggered by the merger, while its removal from the Tortoise North American Pipeline Index does not require special rebalancing due to its current weight being below the threshold. The indices are managed by TortoiseEcofin, focusing on essential energy infrastructure.
- The merger with TC Energy Corporation could provide potential synergies and strategic advantages.
- Removal from the indices may lead to increased liquidity and reduced operational complexities post-merger.
- TCP's removal from the indices may negatively affect investor perception and demand for the stock.
