Alerian Announces Expected Changes to the Alerian Index Series

DALLAS, Feb. 11, 2016

Special rebalancings are triggered by corporate actions that result in the termination of trading of an index constituent on a major US exchange. Pending unitholder approval, NGLS will cease to trade on the NYSE due to its merger with Targa Resources Corp (NYSE: TRGP). If approved, the rebalancing will take place one trading day after the constituent's issuance of a press release indicating all needed merger votes have passed.

In addition, each index will be rebalanced in accordance with its existing methodology. Constituent additions to and deletions from the index do not reflect an opinion by Alerian on the investment merits of the respective securities.
