Damgaard A/S will not be included in the new KFX Index

There has been uncertainty as to whether Damgaard A/S will be included in the KFX portfolio, which becomes effective on 19 June 2000. Please be informed that Ratin A/S will not be delisted before 19 June 2000, consequently, Damgaard A/S will not be included in the KFX Index.

After the closing of Rentokil Initial plc's voluntary bid, which expires today at 16:00, a mandatory bid must be made within four weeks and it shall run for four weeks, if the offer is kept open. As a consequence Ratin A/S cannot be delisted before this mandatory offer has closed.

The KFX portfolio will only be adjusted if the number of constituents amounts to 18 or less.
