AGL Resources is merging with Southern Co. (SO) in a roughly $8 billion deal. The merger, which received final merger approval from New Jersey regulators on Wednesday, is slated to close by July 1.

With Madison, Wis.-based Alliant Energy moving to the S&P 500, Southwest Gas Corp. (SWX) will take its spot in the S&P MidCap 400 and Shutterstock Inc. (SSTK) will replace Southwest Gas in the S&P SmallCap 600.
