DALLAS, Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Alerian announced that following the close of business on Monday, February 2, Tallgrass Energy Partners TEP will be added to the Alerian Natural Gas MLP Index ANGI, replacing Williams Partners WPZ in a special rebalancing.

Per Alerian's index methodology guides, special rebalancings are implemented as practically as possible on a case-by-case basis. Special rebalancings are triggered by corporate actions that result in the termination of trading of an index constituent on a major US exchange. Such corporate actions include, but are not limited to, mergers, delistings, and bankruptcies. The merger between Williams Partners WPZ and Access Midstream Partners ACMP has been approved.

Tallgrass Energy Partners owns, operates, acquires, and develops natural gas transportation, storage, and processing assets in the Rocky Mountains and Wyoming.

Notably, following the closing of the merger, it is anticipated that Access Midstream Partners will change its name to Williams Partners and that ACMP common units will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "WPZ".

The 20 constituents of the index will be rebalanced on an equal-weighted basis in accordance with the existing index methodology. Constituent additions to and deletions from the index do not reflect an opinion by Alerian on the investment merits of the respective securities.
