Alliance Holdings GP Announces Intent To Simplify Structure - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Alliance Holdings GP, L.P. (AHGP) announced it intends to move forward with a structural simplification of the Alliance Partnerships. The management has recommended to the Board that further streamlining the Alliance Partnerships' structure into a single reporting and trading entity should be pursued.
