Energy Income Partners opposes ONEOK's acquisition of Magellan Midstream Partners due to tax consequences and potential loss of value. The acquisition would create a larger energy infrastructure footprint in Middle America, making it more attractive for larger players. Despite opposition, the deal could benefit ONEOK shareholders by increasing margins and creating a stronger combined entity.

Magellan Midstream Partners President and CEO Aaron Milford discusses the rationale for combining with Oneok, the tax implications of the deal and the outlook for industry consolidation with Romaine Bostick and Scarlet Fu on "Bloomberg Markets: The Close."

The Alerian MLP ETF offers a convenient way to gain MLP exposure without the hassle of a K-1. Top holdings include MPLX, Enterprise Products Partners, Energy Transfer, Western Midstream, and Magellan Midstream, all of which the author views as top-quality names. The ETF is rated a "Hold" due to potential tax impact from the ONEOK-Magellan Midstream deal but will return to a 'Buy' once the deal closes or is rejected.

Magellan Midstream unitholders should vote against the proposed acquisition by ONEOK due to unfavorable tax consequences. The deal, valued at $18.8 billion, offers a modest premium for MMP unitholders but may not be worth the tax burden, especially for long-term investors. The fit between OKE and MMP is not ideal, and the tax consequences outweigh the potential benefits of the merger.

A big Magellan holder has come out against the $19 billion deal with Oneok that would create one of the largest energy pipelines in the U.S. Taxes are a key issue.

Asset manager Energy Income Partners LLC, one of the top shareholders in Magellan Midstream Partners , said on Thursday that it intends to vote against pipeline operator ONEOK Inc's deal to buy Magellan.

ONEOK Inc and Magellan Midstream Partners merger would create the fourth largest US midstream company with combined enterprise value of $60 billion.
